that in turn grown short stems and
more sets-sort of endless thing.

Lost Ducks
 Given Lift

LETHBRIDGE, Alberta. Mar. 14-- More than 500 ducks that apparent ly had lost their migratory instinct recently were captured on Buffalo Lake, near here, and sent by truck to open water in Montana.
 w. H. Wallace, head of the AL berta game commission. said the ducks remained at the lake even after the area of open water had diminished to about 20 square feet
 They would have frozen to death. Wallace said. Tt was impossible for all of the ducks to get into the water at one time. The result was that many of the ducks stood for long periods on the ice and became weak from lack of proper nourish- ment."

 FUMES, NEW
 ANESTHETIC

CHAPEL HILL, N. c. Mar. IA A discovery that white rats can be made dead drunk and unconscious by smelling alcohol fumes has been announced at the University of North Carolina.
 The announcement stated this is the first time drunkenness is known to have been produced scientifically by merely smelling the drink.
 The discovery opens a new ques- tion about alcohol as an anesthetic. Drink itself, as an anesthetic, pre- ceded the discovery of ether. But doctors feared the bad effects of drunken stupor on sick persons. The next step will be to try out the alcoholic fumes on human guinea pig"
 This will be done on himself, by the scientist who originated the rat tests, Dr. A. Cornsweet of the psychology department.
 His rat experiments were part of three-year study of anesthetics that rats took twenty minutes to one hour and five minutes to pass out" unconscious from inhaling their drinks.
 On the way 'out" they showed all the apparent signs of intoxication so far as known among animals. For time they wriggeled legs and heads as if trying to dance.
 After recovery there was no sick ness, as after ether. s
 The rats showed distinct signs of hangovers after coming out of the alcohol They fell off the edges of tables because they could not gauge distances accurately. They hopped like kangaroos because front and hind legs failed to push together.
