The place was jammed, and then the bent, bearded and wizened man walked out onto the plutform. "I am 83 years old," he announced, in a thin, wailing voice, "83 years old. And to make a living, I have to dive 00 feet into that tub. Imagine your own fathers, oil grandfathers--at the age of S3 having to dive 90 feet. A young person could get killed doing such a thing, and I'm 83. Tell me," he wept, "shall I dive?"

"All right, governor," replied the man. "I'll just finish this one cigar." But after finishing it, he pulled out a second stogie. "See here," warned Carnegie, "if you persist. I will notify the guard at the next station." And he handed the man his card to let him know whom he was annoying. The smoker glanced at the card, stuck it in his pocket, and touched a match to his stogie. At the next station, however, he changed to another carriage. Still angered at the man's Insolence, Carnegie reported the incident to the guard and demandpd that some action be taken. The guard hurried away, but returned a few minutes later with a card in his hand. . "If I were .you," he advised. "I would'nt try to prosecute* that man. He just gave me hit cart.

A male nurse in a mental hospital noticed a patient with his ear close to the wall listening intently. The patient held up a finger as a warning for him to be very quiet; then beckoned him over and said: "You listen here." The ntirse put his ear to the wall and listened for some time, then turned to the patient and said: '1 can't hear anything." | "No," said the patient, "and it's been like that all day."

Helium, argon and possibly other Inert gases--gases which do not combine chemically with other elements-- are far from inert in their alfcct on living organisms. lib is reported by Dr. S. F. Cook, professor of physiology in the University of California school for medicine.. Dr. Cook has completed experiments in which he studied the reactions of small animals living in an artificial atmosphere consisting of oxygen and helium or of oxygen and argon. The artificial atmosphere contained the same amount of oxygen found in the normal earth's atmosphere-- about 20 per cent. But nitrogen, which forms rtearly all of the remaining 80 per cent of the earth's atmosphere, was removed and the Inert gas substituted in this same proportion. The ordinary atmospheric pressure of sea level was maintained. When helium was used in such an atmosphere, the physiological processes of mealworms, lizards and mice were markedly changed. Similar, but less marked, changes were observed when argon was used. The principle effects of the two gases were retardation of growth in the animals and an increase in the metabolic rate--a stepping up of the pace of work done by the body In the living process. Hie research Indicates that it may be useful to substitute helium for nitrogen In air used by men working In some tunnels, underwater construction projects, and some ether conditions of hitfi pressure.

Parasites are one of the . most serious obstacles to profitable sheep raising. Correct nutrition also is highly important in maintaining an efficient flock. Here are four pointers: (1) Have all sheep treated against parasites in the fall and in the spring. Newly purchased animals should be treated before allowing them to mingle with the herd. (2) Practice pasture rotation; this helps hold down heavy parasitic infestation. (3) Pay special attention to the feeding of ewes during the winter. The ration should Include green hay, protein, minerals and grain. This will help prevent disorders at lambing time. (4) Avoid letting manure accumulate in lots and sheds during the winter. When spread it should go onto fields where animals will not be pastured. No one drug is suitable for use against all parasites Of sheep. Sheep raisers should get veterinary assistar.ee in planning control measures and in selection of anti-parasitic chemicals. "Candling" Eggs Candling is used on practically all eggs before they reach the stores. An electric light is placed inside a box with a hole about the size of an egg, in which the egg is placed. In a darkened room, with 'some practice, it is possible to detect cracks, blood spots, developing germ and the size of the air cell. The latter is the most important criterion of freshness because it gets larger as moisture escapes and is replaced by air. By comparing a fewF eggs known to be fresh with others that are older, one may learn how to judge the size of the air cell and the age.

Hissaari Mala Fadas Oat, But Not Missouri Rabbit Rabbits and mules have two things in common--both have long ears and when you think of either, you think qt Missouri. But, while the Missouri mule has' given way to changing times, the rabbits carry on, undaunted by the growing army of, those who want him. During the 1946-60 season, an estimated 2,664,400 Missouri bunnies fell to the hunter's gun. More than 438,760 were shipped out in the rabbit-meat trade and buyers from 30 other states purchased 305,- 500 alive for restocking purposes. This brought the total bag for the year to more than three and a half million rabbits, which is about an average harvest In view of this seemingly large harvest, the Missouri conservation commission is sometimes accused of sacrificing the state's rabbit population to the demands of both commerce and sport. But a look at the habits of the rabbit and other factors affecting cottontail posterity, reveals no such picture. Commission Biologist Kenneth C. Howe, who conducts state-wide studies on rabbits, says that the average mother cottontail produces 17 youi\g during a single season. Bennitt and Nagel in their 1037 report of Missouri's first comprehensive game survey, placed the state's average fall population of rabbits at over 10 million. Even if only a few million are still hanging around by spring, their progeny will run into plenty of rabbits. A rabbit's greatest enemy, Rowe tays, is not the gun, dog or trap. Of all bunnies born each spring and summer, only about 20 per cent survive for hunting in November. This high mortality is due largely to removal of protective and nesting cover, natural predation, freezlng and drowning of young during unfavorable weather, overgrazing by stock and burning off cover, and disease. Actually, the controlled human harvest helps to keep this species within the carrying capacity of its surroundings. Is It "Colorfast"? "Colorfast," a familiar term to today's shopper, has different shades of meaning! Just a clerk'* assurance that an article is "Colorfast" is not enough. Termed as "Colorfast," for instance, are many of the colored rayon tablecloths now on the market. But some of these cloths stage a fade-out in t£c most carefully controlled washing formula. Drops of gravy, crimson cranberry and lipstick stains, fruit juice, wine and beverage stains all must be removed in the laundering process. If color loss occurs during a cleansing treatment which must remove stains as well as soil, then the cloth is not "Colorfast" to the mildest stain removal treatment. Flag Sbap Owner Made Flag Far 8an. fiaorga Washington Betsy Ross wasn't the only American woman of the Revolutionary war period who gained fame for her flagmaklng prowess. According to Childcraft books, a young matron named Rebecca Young made the flag that General George Washington carried when the Continental army took part in the siege of Boston. Mrs. Young, who had a flag shop in Philadelphia, was noted in the colonies for her exquisite needlework. Her fine stitching, embroidered scallops, and beautiful patchwork quilts were the talk of the countryside. The flag that General Washington requisitioned Mrs. Young to make had thirteen alternate red and white stripes. Appliqued on the blue field hi the upper left-hand corner were crosses of Saint Andrew and Saint George--a design which represents ed the union of Scotland and England. It was named the "Grand Union Flag" by General Washington, and flown by troops of the Continental army for the first time about January, 1, 1776. - Like Betsy Ross, who is credited with having made the country's first offlcal flag, Mrs. Young did not design the flag General Washington ordered from her. He is said to have adopted the design for it from an ensign that had been raised by John Paul Jones from the deck of the ship Alfred* on December 3 1775. Mrs. Young worked on General Washington's battle flag with loving care. She stitched together the thick stripes of red and white bunting by hand and sewed in the blue field with a precision that guaranteed perfection. New Coarse in Science A revolutionary approach to the teaching of science which combines all the sciences in a single course emphazing their relationship to man was described to the 118th national meeting of the American chemical society held in Chicago, by Dr. John Xan, head of the department of chemistry of Howard college, in Birmingham, Ala. Taught without a text, the course is designed to give students a broad acquaintance with the modern scientific world and an effort is made to stimulate their interest in scientific discoveries and periodicals by basing examinations mainly on knowledge acquired outside the classroom, Dr. Xan reported. Ninety to 95 per cent of students finishing the combined general science course have voted for it in preference to the conventional type of science course.

That is why the campaign against this disease is being centered on blood-testing elimination of diseased animals, and preventive vaccination of calves, according to a special committee of the American veterinary medical association. , The committee, headed by Dr. A. M. Orum of Carthage, 111.,'was formed to aid the nation's current drive against bovine brucellosis. The disease, believed to be costing cattle owners $100 'million a year, causes lowered milk production, abortion, and other reproductive troubles. "Regardless of what anybody has claimed, no drug Or nutritional subfitance is known to cure brucellosis In livestock," Dr. Orum said. Physicians regard several drugs as useful in treating human brucellosis, which is contracted from diseased animals, he explained. But even if veterinarians could utilize these drugs for treating brucellosis in animals, the cost under present conditions would be preventive except for highly valuable stock. "We are convinced that the only sound and financially practical way to deal with this disease is to work toward its complete eradication," Dr. Orum said. This can be done, he added, through a nationwide program of testing all cattle, disposal of reactors to the blood test, and calfhood vaccination coupled with striet sanitary measures in all herds.

Alarming reports from England* where the so-called hard pad con- . dition is reported to be widespread, have made many United States dbg lovers overly fearful of the disease. Thickening, hardening, and peel* lng of the foot pads and nose sometimes occur in advanced stages ofjn distemper or distemper-like illness, but this condition always is seen in company with other symptoms-- never alone. Among theories as to the causa are: (1) The canine distemper virua may undergo a change, under certain conditions, that causes it to produce symptoms that differ from those seen in typical distemper cases. "Hard pad" may be one afj the symptoms so produced. V (2) In some cases, the pure distemper virus--tfhich causes fever, respiratory distress, and diarrheamay be accomi&anied by a second virus that brings on the changes in foot pads and nose. (3) The severe illness caused by distemper or complicated distemper can lead to a temporary nutritional deficiency and loss of body fluids that may account for the thickening and hardening. Immunization with biological products is the best means of preventing distemper aa^i the hard pad condition. Complete line of Beebe livestock remedies at Watties Drag Store McHenry.
