California Professor Spends 20 Years in Study
 No Broadcast
By SAM JACKSON JAP Feature Service .Triter)

PALO ALTO, Cal, Mar. 16.-Cali- fornia, never slow at claiming to be first" in anything, so far has not broadcast this one:
 It has the largest collection of lice in the world
 Before you nod "Yes, yes" and begin to identify them by name, 1t should be made clear that what is meant is real, literal lice = the parasites that infest men and ami mals.
 The collection is in the labora- tory of Gordon r. Ferris. profess sor of entomoligy at Stanford uni yersity, who has spent 20 years in his unusual quest.
 They're Aristocrats
 At times Dr. Ferris keeps living lice, but the great bulk of his lit tie guests is safely embalmed on microscope slides. These can be filed away in small space, and the col- lection that is the envy of every other louse fancier in the world four of them, to be exact-could be slowed away in good-sized trunk.
 Considering their humble status, lice have quite an aristocratic line age. Professor Ferris believes they date back to the evolutionary period when birds and mammals originat- ed.
 They also are exclusive, and will live only on the kind of animal to which they are adapted A hu- man being cannot acquire lice from ] dog, says Professor Ferris, nor can a dog from a cat There are believed to be about 800 species, each with it's particular host, but Ferris has collected and studied only about 225. The missing speci- mems are from the rarer wild ani- mals.
