Giant Race Lived in
Swamps of the Coal Age

COLOGNE, GERMANY.-A race
of giants that lived in the Coal age
sWamps is described by DR.. p. Gut
horl of the Saarbrucken School of
Mines. They were creatures with
jointed bodies like the Holsters and
insects Of today, and apparently
were evofutionafiy midway between
the lobster tribe and thousand-leg
gers" or myriapods.
But they were very much bigger
than any modern lobster or thou
sand-legger. None of the fossils thus
far found is entire, but from the
fragmentary remains DR.. Guthorl
estimates three-foot length as not
uncommon; and one specimen from
a coal bed in the Netherlands ap-
pears to have been five or six feet
long in life.
This particular type OF fossil has
never been found in coal beds out
side of Europe. 1t bears the scientific
name Arthropleura, and it lived
about ESQ, 900, 900 years ago.

Corn's Vitamin Content
May Be Increased by
Scientific Breeding

ITHACA, ". Y.-Breeding for in
creased content is indicated as a
definite possibility by experiments
on corn reported by Drs. L. F.
Randolph and David B. Hand Of
Cornell university.
The vitamin A content of corn
and other vegetables depends on the
amount present Of certain yellow
pigments, the carotinoids. Amount
of the carotinoids in turn depends
on the hereditary makeup of the
plant; it is a Mendelian trait.
Doctors Randolph and Hand bred
strains of yellow corn to increase
the number of chromosomes in each
cell, bearing the hereditary units or
genes. When they doubled the
chromosome numbers land there
with doubled the gene numbers)
they obtained marked increases in
the vitamin A activity.

Libby College Student
To Appear in who's Who,

Miss Mary Virginia Mount, daugh
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. D. O. Mount of
Libby. who will receive her A. B.
degree from Whitworth College in
June, is among those students who
will be listed in the l939-l940 issue
of Who's Who Among Students in
American Universities and Col
leges.'
Miss Mount has been active in
speech work during her four years,
acting in the capacity of debate
manager for two years. She was the
winner of second place in women's
ex tempore at the Linfield College
tournament in 1888, and this year
was one of three speakers sent to
the College of the Pacific tourna-
, ment held at Stockton, Calf. As a
| sophomore she was the assistant
editor of the college annual, and
was elected to the position of edi-
tor during her junior year. She
is the secretary of her senior class,
a member of the Student Council,
has been twice the social chairman
of the Women's dormitory organ
ization, and has served on the col
lege social committee as sophomore
representative. She was also elect
ed to the Who's Who" for the
year 1g38-I939.
Miss Mount was graduated from
the Libby high school in the class
of 1886. During her high school
career she was active in debate, and
a member of the high school honor
] society.
The who's Who is published
through the cooperation Of over SOC
universities and colleges. 1t is the
only means of national recognition
for graduates which is devoid OF
politics, fees and dues. Several stu
dents from accredited colleges are
selected each year, by an unpreju-
diced committee, for their biogra-
phies to appear in Who's Who
Among Students in American Uni
versities and Colleges
The purpose of Who's Who" is
TO serve as an incentive for stu
dents to get the most out of their
college careers, as a means of com
pensation to students for what they
have already done; as a recon-
mendation to the business world;
and as a standard of measurement
for students comparable to such
agencies as Phi Beta Kappa and the
Rhodes scholarship awards.

Sun Power Problem
To Be Studied by
Scientists of NJ. |. T.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.-Meth-
DDS of creating "sun power" by
converting the tremendous
amount of solar energy into
some form in which man can
use it as a source of power will
be the goal of a comprehensive
program of chemical, electrical
and mechanical research to be
undertaken at the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology.
Enabled by a SCAT 700 gift from
DR.. Godfrey L. Cabot of Boston. the
research will be devoted specifically
to a search for direct means of con-
verting the suns radiant energy
into useful power or storing such
energy for future use. Under the
terms of the gift the income from
the fund must be used in these stud
les for at least so years, after which
il may be diverted to other pur-
poses at the discretion of the Insti-
tute's corporation.
While scientists at Technology will
concentrate on direct physical and
chemical methods of using solar en-
ergy, research workers at Harvard
university, which received SINH
lar grant from Dr. Cabot last year.
are making a pioneering study Of
the possibilities of speeding up the
growth of trees, and thus stream
lining the conversion of sunlight
into forms suitable for human use.
Great Potential Power.
In announcing the gift, Dr. Karl
T Compton, NJ. l. T president, COM
mented ON the enormous potential
power of solar energy, pointing out
that heat from the sun reaches the
earth in the temperate zones at
an average rate of approximately
1000, 600 Galleries per square yard
daily. In the three months of great
est sunshine an acre of land, he
estimated, receives directly from

tons of first-class coal.
The store Of energy in our famil-
lar fuels, while great, is not mex
haustible.' he continued, in point
ing out the Importance of such re.
search.
A primary object of the project
will be to determine whether use oil
solar energy is economically feast
BILE and practical Solar energy de.
vices already proposed and studied
elsewhere will be evaluated with this
point of view in mind. The second
aspect will consider chiefly the fea

solution of this problem.
