To Paul Duea goes much of the
credit for the victory for his IL

the books and placed the squad
within shooting distance of sue

up the same as lost.
Bohnen and Barnum scored
first, giving Glencoe a four point
lead before Lang registered foul

went to 1916 and 14-6 before
Stensvad sank the first of Red
woods two baskets that period.
Young got the other and Hustad
counted a free shot as the half
ended with the score at 81 to II.
Still not stemmed, the Glencoe
tide rolled to &c to II, a comfort
able lead in any ball game, before
the reaction set in.
Otto started the rally with
free shot and fans took firmer
hold on their seats as Duea sank
basket, was fouled going in and
counted the free shot. They I'M

next bucket pared the advantage

Glencoe started down the floor

up and went under the basket

Private Aviation
Interests Blamed
In Patent Suit
Inventor Of Propeller
De-Ieine PIon Says
Device Is Used Free

Private aviation interests were
blamed yesterday by William c.
Clay, Naval Air Station employee, for
the suit which the Government has
filed against him in District Court
TO force Mr.. Clay to turn over
patent which he has obtained on a
device to prevent the formation of
ice on airplane propellers in flight
They just want the Government
to hold an umbrella over them to
keep them from paying for it," he
said.
The Government bill of complaint
alleges that the invention belongs
to the Government. 1t is contended
that Mr.. Clay developed the device
while at work on the problem Of
Icy propellers ati Langley Field. He
denies this. Mr.. Clay says that he
took out the patent two years ago
and at the time offered the Gov
eminent a free license which would
have permitted unlimited use of the
device. The Government. however,
he continues, wanted the complete
assignment of commercial rights
also, but this he refused to give,
explaining that Government en-
ployes who perfect inventions are
entitled to the commercial rights.
For the two years. he adds. the
Government has refused to take the
! license.
In the meantime, Mr., Clay con-
tinues, two large aircraft manufac-
turers have been using his device.
but have refused to comptnsate him
for it. No effort has been made to
stop their use of his invention. he

Matched.
Another specializes in the three
spot gourami, species of fish whose
male builds a nest of bubbles for
the eggs of the mother and guards
them until they hatch. After this
process they have to be taken out
of the tank to prevent the mother
from turning cannibal and eating
her offspring.
GuppieS also belong to the canni-
bal species ana eat their babies as
fast as they are born, if permitted
to do so. Mr.. Kaufman said. In
every tank where they are bred it
is wise to have hair grass in the
bottom as a refuge for the newly
Matched guppies.
What Mr. Kaufman calls his
zebra tank" is used for a species
OF the zebra fish. Colored marbles
are placed in the bottom of it so
that the eggs of this vari-colored
tropical fish can sift down in be-
tween them during their spawning
season to prevent the mother and
the father from devouring them.
According to Mr.. Kaufman, one
of the most popular of all tropical
fish is new species called the
white cloud which was found by
Chinese Boy Scout i'll an irri-
eating ditch near the White Cloud
Mountain in the vicinity of Canton,

Mr. Kaufman. in common with

As those who are able bodied, than
