Solution Is Near in Mystery
Of IO-Year Forest Life Cycle
Data Accumulated BY Experts of Bio
logical Surrey Indicates Tularemia
Is Cause of Phenomenon.

taken at the abundance crest" OF the
cycle may still hold at the bottom OF
the depression trough" with the re-
suit that a species may be almost
wiped out by hunters and trappers.
This strange cyclic phenomenon sell
dom has been taken into considera-
ton by State and territorial legisla-
lures in passing game laws. it Is
pointed out. They seem to be based
on the assumption that relative
numbers of any variety are about the
same from year to year, and that only
hunting itself tends to change them.
If the cycle was taken into consider
alton in regulating it. it might not be
a very important factor.
Up to the present wild animals have
been presumed to be practically free
from disease. 1t has been assumed
that they died either of violence or
old age, and nothing else. Actual
studies show, DR.. Schillinger says,
that sickness attacks them in the
wilds. Such creatures and rabbits
and grouse may actually come to their
ends from the claws OF carn1vores
such as skunks and wild cats. but 1t
is because they are sick that they
are unable to get away.
This was shown at the Lake Alex
andria preserve of the Biological Sur
vey in Minnesota. There the biolo-
gists had a cat which appeared an
effective rabbit catcher. She caught
and killed four rabbits in few days,
but examination showed that every
one of them was sick OF tlllaremla.
The cat herself had high resistance
to this disease. So do most OF the
flesh-eating fur animals Of the forests.
But they suffer indirectly because the
virus attacks their food supply. Con-
sequently their numbers decline with
the numbers of the smaller birds and
rodents on which they live.
Tularemia is Spread
BY Means of Ticks.
There may be other diseases be-
sides tularemia, DR.. Schillinger points
out. but this seems to be by far the
most prevalent, as shown by autop-
sizes. 1t is spread from one creature
To another by ticks. and possibly meas.
The Biological Survey workers have
found a curious relationship by trap
ping snowshoe hares and examining
them for ticks. The year 1882, Tor
example, was one of average density
for these animals. A count showed
about $500 ticks per animal. The
next year the rabbit population was
considerably increased and the count
showed 5000 ticks per animal. The
chance of tularemia infection, OF
course, increased directly as did the
number of ticks.
Thus the disease. which in the past
has been looked upon as one OF the
rarer human maladies, assumes new
importance as a fundamental part
in the mechanism of nature.
The Biological Survey workers, IN
fact, are inclined to question whether
it is so rare among men as is gen.
orally supposed. They point out that
it is not familiar to many physicians
and is likely to be falsely diagnosed,
and that the sickness may vary from
something which will hardly be
noticed by the average person to a
condition which rapidly proves fatal.

Senator Lonergan, demo- crat( Connecticut, today renewed his efforts to have it included in the Presidents preliminary federal power survey reports to Congress in January.
 In a conference with officials of the Federal Power Commission Senator Lonergan stated that noth- ing more can be done to comply with recommendations of War De- partment Engineers for flood con- until some decision is msade re- garding development of the rapids.
 He was asked whether develop ment of such a project would con- flict with the St Lawrence Water- way proposal, and whether private power interests in Connecticut would be interested in leasing the power facilities if constructed by the government, indicating that serious consideration is being given to the project at this stage.
 Senator Lonergan indicated that a report will be prepared by the Federal Power Survey ard an- other by the Federal Power Policy Committee, and submitted tc com gress as soon as possible after tt convenes.

 His hands twitched nervously and he pulled at the corners of his white mustache, once meticulously waxed but now carelessly dropping
 Attention of the spectators wal drawn from Insult by the shouted pleadings of Floyd B. Thompson husky leader of the defense law. yers.
 Samuel Insult was a victim oi his own scheme--if 1t be a scheme he declared.
 "He sold himself on the future of the great business which ht conceived and expanded, bringing vast wealth to thousands of peo. pie. Is there anything criminal ir that?"
 "Is it reasonable to asume tha' a man with the record of honesty of Samuel Insull would throw away the accumulations of a life. time and emerge before you now as a pauper if he was out to swim. dle widows and orphans?"
 The attorneys plea brought the aged client to the verge of tears.

GREEN TOSTUDY
 PROPOSED PLAN
American Federation of Labor to Consider
 IckeS' Proposal

Washington, Nov 23. (UP)- President William Green of the American Federation of Labor to- day promised flair consideration for the proposal by Secretary of the Interior Harold l.. Ickes that unions reduce high wage scales in return for assured employment on a federal home building program.
 Ickes' suggestion for a cut in the pay of buildings workers was made in connection with a huge project ed low-cost housing drive, fianced with government funds.
 The wage issue may prove vital factor in the move to release thou sands from relief rolls and turn them to productive employment. Unemployment in the building trades has been one of the heaviest relief burdens. With a large per- centage of workers idle, the pay scale has been maintained at a high level.
 Green termed Ickes' plan rather a novel program" and added: "But the proposal, if formally presented, would receive fair consideration from organized labor. It would have to be studied closely before any agreement could be made"

 Her counsel, Attorney George Lynch in his reason for asking the setting aside of the verdict claimed the jury was not adequately in- formed of it's premises in bringing in a verdict such as it did, and therefore, deprived the plaintiff oi a fair deliberation. Attorney D. I. Pelgrift of Hartford appears for the defendant.
 Judge John A. Cornell reserved decision on the application of Pat sy Rizzuto who seeks to have the divorce decree against him modi- fled, following a hearing in su- perior court today.
