BANG! THERE GOES
ANOTHER ILLUSION

Dallas, Tex. - (P) There
wasn't any more mud in Flanders
fields than usual when American
soldiers fought there 1t just
seemed like more, says DR.. Edwin
j. Foscue of Southern Methodist
University.
DIR. Foscue heard so many as
sertions that the heavy cannon
aiding of World War days brought
a deluge, he decided to investigate
scientifically.
Sturying Chronological data, he
compiled the true story of rain
fall at the western front and
found:
The four years of the conflict
were not unusually rainy. In fact,
the first two years were only
slightly above normal and the last
two, when the American troops
were in France, were below nor
NAL. Hence the defamation of high
explosives seemingly had no in
fluence upon the total precipita-
ton.

ANOTHER FAIR
YOU MIGHT TAKE IN

Golovin, Alaska - (P1 = This
reindeer station and trading vii
lage is only two degrees below the
Arctic circle, but its eskimos plan
to become market gardeners. I'm
der the leadership of School
Teacher A. D. Johnson and two
traders, George Folger and Joe
Dexter, they already are planning
an annual vegetable fair.
Their first garden show, held
last month drew a good display
of choice garden sass"-the re-
suit of the long hours of summer
sunshine and judicious applica-
ton of herring refuse as ferti-
lizer.
'eThis is an ideal spot for root
vetegables," said Johnson, land
we are going to create a market
for them as a commercial pros
pect. Then, too, the eskimos can
store away an ample supply for
the lonk winter months"
Best adapted to near Arctic gar
dening are radishes, lettuce, car
rots, turnips, rhubarb, rutabagas,
onions, cabbage, chard, spinach
and potatoes.

CHEMISTS GET
LIMESTONE JOYS

HOquiam, WASH P - Chem
lists and sanitary engineers, con-
Quoting experiments here in their
battle against stream pollution,
have the limestone joys"
The scientists believe they have
found an Inexpensive solution to
the stream pollution problem
which has long been worrying
both fish conservationists and
pulp mill operators.
By settling waste pulp liquor
in basins filled with crushed lime
stone, chemists have been able,
on an experimental basis, to neu-
tralize the death dealing waste
liquid that cuts down the oxygen
content when it comes in contact
| with fresh water, thus killing fish.
Harmful liquor bacteria attach
themselves to the limestone,
scientists have found. Through
filtration the noxious properties
normally poured into streams by
pulp mills are being trapped.

of manslaughter for the killing Of
his wife, Anna, on September 81,

DR.. Lowell S. Selling, head of the

Is emotionally justified, because 1t
never can be morally justified"
