Guiana, South America, to get a habitat group of the hoatzin bird whose young, with claws on their wings, convince scientists they des- cend from reptilian ancestors liv- ing millions of years ago.
 Scientists declare no other bird alive today illustrates this evolu- tionary-ike bird Only the fledg- lings have the reptilian claws which they use with agil1fy in climbing into and out of their nests. When danger threatens they dive headlong into the water beneath the nests and later chamber back unassisted As they grow older they lose the claws.

Waqe-Hour Bill Killed

VXyHEN the bill for regulation of
wv wages and hours, approved by
the senate in August, came up for
action in the house the President
suffered one of his greatest legis-
lative defeats. Southern Democrats
and the Republican minority COM
bined to send the measure back to
the labor committee, which meant
its definite defeat. This bill, which
would have set up an administrator
with dictatorial powers over labor
and business management, was con-
sidered only second in Importance
to the farm bill. 1t had the support
of the G. l. o., so John Lewis shared
in the defeat. The A. F. of L. had
offered substitute which was re-
jected, as President Green had ex-
pected it would be.
No action was taken on the Presi-
dents other must" measures,
which were for revision of anti
trust laws, regional planning and
federal government reorganization.
Advocates of the ever-normal gran
airy bill, which passed the senate,
contend it will stabilize both prices
and supplies of five major crops
and so benefit farmers and consum-
ers. Opponents not only question its
efficacy but say it calls for harm
full RECOMMENDATION.
Nothing definite was done by con-
gress concerning revision of the
taxes which are hampering business
and industry.

Texan were Speaker Bankhead and
Senator Barley and Representative
Sam Rayburn, majority leaders OF
the senate and house.
The topic of their discussion was
what should be done with the wreck
age of the five-point program in the
closing days of the session and how
much of it should be demanded OF
congress in the regular session in
January.
It was hoped the new housing bill
could be pushed through the senate
before adjournment, having been
approved by committee after pas
sage by the house, 325 to %. There
was not much opposition to this
measure, which administration lead
ers said would lead to the construc-
ton and sale of millions of new
homes, most of them to cost about
$4,000.
Crop control bills were passed by
both senate and house, but they diff
fered widely and early final enact
ment was impossible because the
Joint conference between commit
tees of the two houses to recon-
cile the measures could not get into
action before January.

Ambassador Bingham Dies

D OBERT WORTH BINGHAM,
IN American ambassador to Great
Britain, died in Johns Hopkins hos
pital, Baltimore, of rare abdom-
inal ailment. He was sixty-six years
of age and already had submitted
his resignation because of i'll health.
Mr.. Bingham was one of President
Roosevelt's first diplomatic ap-
pointees. Previously he had gained
considerable fame as a newspaper
publisher in Louisville, KY. His
body was taken to that city for
burial and lay in state in the Ken
lucky capitol in Frankfort. King
George and Queen Elizabeth of
Great Britain cabled message of
coincidence.
Another notable death was that Of
Gen. Erich Won Ludendorff, German
commander in the World war, at
Munich. He won international fame
as Won Hindenburg's chief of staff
on both the eastern and western
fronts and then was made chief
quartermaster general of the Ger
man army. Just before the war
ended he quarreled with the kaiser
and was dismissed from his post.
In his later years the embittered old
warrior attacked all factions in
Germany, though friendly relations
with the Hohenzollerns were re-
established on his SEVENTEEN BIRTH
day,

New Steels Due to
Molecule Studies

Philadelphia.-Am industry
is entering a new era in the manu-
facture and use of 'tailor-made"
steels adapted to wide variety of
purposes and made possible by sci
entists studying iron molecule by
molecule, the Franklin institute
here was told by DR.. John Johnston,
director of research for the United
States Steel corporation.
Control of the heating and cooling
of iron and steel during it's manu-
facture so as to change the point at
which iron changes from its cal
pha" form to its gamma" phase
is making possible new types of ma
terial that can be fitted to new
needs, he asserted.
"a generation ago." he stated,
"the technical problems facing the
steel industry were related mainly
to increased production of a few
kinds of steel, but today the object
is to improve the fitness of steel at
no greater overall cost to the pub
lic."
Iron is now known to exist in two
forms, the alpha and gamma types,
he explained. These two types,
which differ in physical properties
sufficiently to enable engineers to
adapt them to practical use, owe
their existence to different arrange
ments of iron atoms in the iron mol
ecule. And the change from one
type to the other can be controlled
by the processing which the iron re-
ceives.
The emphasis on the iron and
steel business today is on producing
corrosion proof metals, he said.
Stainless steel, most prominent
member of the corrosion-resistant
family, is valuable, among other
things, because it does not rust and
thin sheets can be used without the
fear that they will be damaged BY
long exposure.

eminent which have been doing
about as they chose It would be
an astonishing development in an
other way, for hitherto the 'Son of
Heaven" has always held himself
aloof from such concerns. The
Japanese cabinet was called in ex-
traordinary session to discuss the
Panay incident and determine what
reply should be made to the Amer
lean protests.
In Washington Ambassador Hirosi
Saito added his voice to the many
apologies offered. In a radio adj
dress he termed the bombing of the
Panay and the Standard Oil ships a
shocking blunder" and said that
necessary steps are being and will
be taken so that guarantees of safe
ty will be assured all foreign per-
sons and interests" in Japan-con-
trolled areas of China.
Washington's second note was es-
pecially sharply worded because
of the revelation that the Panay
and the boats carrying its dead and
wounded to shore were fired upon
by machine gunners in Japanese
army boats. The stories of the
survivors, including several news
paper men, and motion pictures of
the attack were all in the hands of
the American officials and seemed
irrefutable, although General Hara-
da, the Japanese military attache
at Shanghai, issued a report which
contradicted them in several vital
particulars. 1t purported to be ''the
sum total of staff officers investiga-
ton of the incident.

Duckbill Dinosaur
Had Lots of Teeth
but Lived on Plants
q Science Service.-WNU Service.

Washington. Duckbill dino
saurs weren't at all like ducks
when it came to the matter of
teeth. They had about the finest
dental mills any animal in the
world has ever possessed, G.
w. Gilmore, curator of verte-
brate paleontology at the Unit
ed States National museum,
pointed out in the course of an
illustrated lecture here. Two
thousand teeth, ranged in rows
both horizontal and vertical,
formed a fair average equip
ment for one of them.
But it was all right, even for the
creatures that inhabited the earth
at the same time. Duckbill dino
saurs were quite harmless, feed
ing entirely on plants. Much
more formidable were the fewer
teeth in the jaws of the tyranno-
saurs; their six-inch spikes, shaped
like barracuda teeth but ten times
bigger, were terrible tearers of
flesh.
To get back to the duckbills; they
not only had these batteries of many
hundreds of teeth ready for imme-
diate action at all times, but they
had plenty more where they came
from. If tooth was worn out or
broken, it was Immediately re-
placed. Back of all the teeth were
tooth buds ready to grow new ones,
so a duckbill never had to worry
about toothless old age.
"Dippy's" Teeth Like a Rake.
A much bigger dinosaur, also a
plant-eater yet with fewer and
weaker teeth, was Diplodocus, of
which the National museum has a
fine skeleton. "Dippy's" teeth were
all in the front end of his jaws, and
they were slender and rake-like. He
had no real chewing teeth at all.
1t is therefore conjectured that Dip
lodocus raked up soft vegetation
from the SwampS and shallow lakes
where he wallowed and gulped the
mess down whole, to be ground up
in his gizzard by the bushel or so
of stones he habitually kept inside
for that purpose.
Not all the vegetarian dinosaurs
were creatures of mild and inof-
fensive habits. The ceratopsians,
which had formidable horns project
ing forward from their heads, and
wide, bony frills to protect their
necks, must have been the wild
bulls of the Age of Reptiles. Mr..
Gilmore told of numerous finds of
horned dinosaur skeletons which
show broken ribs, punctured frills,
and horns snapped off, all with evil
dence of healing afterwards, which
indicated that these injuries had
been received in the course of true
ulently active lives.

Wisconsin, was selected to be chair
man of a committee to draft new
charter for the Republican party.
He said he probably would accept
this job of formulating the party S
policies, and National Chairman
Hamilton said the committee would
be an absolutely independent
agency of the party. Many mem
bers of the committee have been
named by the executive commit
tee of the national committee.
Frank is identified with the liberal
wing of the G. o. P, but he is not
friendly with the La Follettes of
Wisconsin, since they forced him
out of his post at the university.
His political and economic views
suit Hoover and Landon and many
of the party leaders of both the West
and the East.

Farm Income Larger

IF THE statisticians of the Depart.
l ment of Agriculture are right, the
farmers of the United States have
had pretty good year. They es-
innate the cash income from crops
and livestock for 1887 at approx
mately $500, 600, 900 compared with
$500, O00, 900 in 1885, This increase
of $3.50, 1000, 900, the department said,
is in spite of the fact that prices
for farm products were lower.
The better yields which farmers
had on virtually every major crop,
combined with increased income
through government soil conserva-
ton and benefit payments, were re-
sponsible for the increase in total
cash payments. Government SUBJ
sides totaled $3.50, 1000, 900, compared
with $287, 900, 900 in 1886.
Farmers cash income for 1887
was the largest since the 1929 boom
year, when income was $40, 49,
100000, and about twice the 1882
income of $4,328, 900, 900, which was
the low since 1924.

Soviet Russia now has 60 large
blood banks and 600 subsidiary ones.
In the last five years more than
10000 physicians have been trained
in the Central Institute of Hematol-
Iogy and Blood TRANSMISSION in blood
TRANSMISSION methods. Last year
about 10000 quarts of blood were
transfused.
Because it has thus large quanti-
ties of blood on hand, Soviet medi-
cal science is able to resort to trans
fusions even when there is no emer-
gency.
