Ancient man was "doodler" de

cliff walls still perplex many lay
men and scientists, according to the
Smithsonian Institution.
DR.. Julian H. Steward of the in
stitution's bureau of American eth

ceives a steady stream of inquiries
about carvings and paintings on

Various lay and scientific theories
contend the drawings are part of a
lost Indian language, fragments of
the European alphabet brought to
America by pre-Columbian North
men, or cryptograms giving direc-

Steward, after extensive study of
petroglyphs, reported that many of
the crude pictures and geometric

When Badly and the boys had
gone, Jane and Evans opened the
windows and pulled up the shades.
The house was filled with clear light,
and was cool in the breeze.
When they had finished, Jane said,
''That's all, I think. We can rest
bit. And presently it will be time
for dinner"
"I don't want any dinner"
They were in the library. Out

He turned back to her, and saw

was not ashamed of it.
And standing there, with his head
against her breast, Jane knew that
she had found the best. Marriage
was not thing of luxury and soft
living, of flaming moments of wild
emotion. 1t was thing of hard
ness shared, of spirit meeting spirit,
of dream matching dream. Jane,
that afternoon, had caught her
breath as she had come into the
darkened hall, and had seen Evans
standing between those slender lads.
So some day, perhaps, in this old

Inventor Designs Chute
To Save Big Rocket Ship

ROSWELL, N. M.-Development
of parachute that will enable its
designer to save valuable meteoro-
logical instruments which he sends
aloft in huge rocket ship, was dis
closed here.
Professor R. H. Goddard of Clark
university spent several years on
the desert perfecting a sounding
rocket, but until recently he had
been faced with finding a means of
saving the 18-foot, 84-pound ship
from crashing to the ground with
valuable stratosphere data after the
rocket had exhausted its power.
The slender motor craft reaches
a speed of 700 miles an hour and
an ordinary parachute had not the
strength to support the terrific
strain, Goddard explained. He has
perfected a chute that will sup
port two-ton strain.
The rocket is made of aluminium.
painted black, and has a conical
capped head. Two of the new para
chutes are placed in the cap. When
the rocket power, consisting of oxy-
gen and gasoline, begins to give out
high in the stratosphere, a pressure
valve releases the chutes in the cap
and the ship floats to earth un-
harmed.

Find Fish Take Bath and
Some Like to Be Tickled

AITkIN, MINN.-Fish take baths
and they like to be tickled. Arnold
and Hugo Vogt discovered these
facts at their home near here.
The Vogt brothers have a hobby
Of tanning and feeding fish in the
lake on their property. and lately
noticed their bass and bullheads
squirming in sand along shallow
waters Of the lake.
It looked much as if the fish were
taking baths as they squirmed in
the sand, first on one side, and then
on the other.
DR.. Samuel Eddy, University of
Minnesota zoologist, confirmed this
belief.
Because Of the warmth Of the wa
ter and its chemical composition,
the fish had become infected with
type Of fish lice-the ecto parasite.
And their squirmings were to rid
themselves Of the lice.
DR.. Eddy said the infestation was
more common in captive or tame
fish than in others, although it is
often found in fish living under nat
ural conditions.
The Vogt brothers also discovered
fish like to be tickled when they ac-
cidentally scratched a tame bull
head on the stomach while feeding
the fish. The bullhead turned over
lazily on its back and lay motion
less in the water.

The taking Of the big million

I ing boom is on. The razing of the

is expected to be the site for a
modern building in keeping with
the progress that is rapidly being
made on High Street. However,

state unwarranted, except il the
case of possible limited areas Of
heavy breeding. Observations in
Sussex and Kent Counties, where
mosquito control work has been
completed, and experimental le-
suits as well, demonstrate conclu-
sively that when muskrat marshes
are effectively ditched for mo-
squito control there is a rapid low
ering Of the water table, which,
within a short time, is sufficient to
effect radical change in existing
vegetation. The plants upon which
muskrats feed and which are util-
lied by them in house construction
are soon replaced by others prac-
tlcally worthless for such purpos-
es. This results in migration of
muskrats from areas SO treated to
those which meet better their wat

Department Of Entomology is op-
posed, therefore, to the ditching of
such marshes, subject to the ex-
ceptions noted above"

Missionaries in Liberia
Make Long Jungle Treks

WASHINGTON.-In the perform
ance of their duties, American mis-
sionaries in Liberia travel hundreds
of miles each year through the
steaming jungles in hammocks
borne by natives, according to the
Right Reverend Leopold Krull, Prot
estant Episcopal bishop to the At
rican republic.
For six months of the year tn,
bishop and his assistants explore
the jungle or travel up ana down
450 miles of coastline in the bish-
ops launch, seeking to convert the
natives. La the other six months,
Bishop Krull said, torrential rains
make missionary work impossible
except along a small strip of coast.
