This apparently meant that Oscar
soon would be examined, because
DR.. w. B. Herms, head of the Uni

entomology and noted authority

this particular insect"
While he had never heard of a
bug with Oscars alleged ability. he
said there were organisms with a

Although Hayes had spoken to
biologists about Oscar, he said he
had learned nothing of his biologi-
cal status. He said Oscar was gray,
about one-Sixteenth of an inch long
and had hard shell.
This was Rumwells history of
Oscar:
More than 125 years ago, a sea
captain gave the bug to Hayes
grandmother. Mrs. Matthew Hayes
when she was living near Dublin
She brought it to this country with
her years later and Oscar lived
most of the time hibernating in
sugar. When Mrs. Hayes wanted to
put Oscar to work. she dropped
vinegar on him and he would
emerge, alive and kickino
Mrs. Hayes lived to be 90, and
during her last years she lived
near Fort Bragg, Calf. Oscar be-
came n favorite there with railroad
men who frequently got cinders in
their eyes. Mrs Hayes would arouse
him WITH vinegar, place him in the
corner OF a trainman's eye and he
would crawl about removing dust
and clnderS. After his work was
completed. he always went back tc
sleep in sugar.
Oscar was bcqueathed to Clifforc
Hayes. who quit boaSting about
Oscar when he was a boy because
his friends Sneered at him. Once
Oscar stayed in Information for 1(
years. but promptly came to life
with draught of vinegar.
Rumwell now has Oscar. buried
deep IN match box of suagr. lock
ed up IN his office safe. Although
RumWell was not his attorney

units off the Norwegian coast has
made further landings by Ger

Norway almost impossible official
quarters said today.
The statement was made in COM

agency report that more German
troops had been landed at Narvik
It was reported, meanwhile, that
as part of its attempt to cut off
Germany from its forces of occupa-
ton in Norway, Britain has used
a new deadly, secret mine.
1t was intimated that the Allies
have a submarine fleet in the Kat

attempt to sweep a channel thru
the mine fields for supplies and
reinforcementS for its Norwegian
forces.
Allied mine fields, laid off the
German. Netherlands and Norweg-
ian coasts and in the Skagerrak
and the Kattegat, the entrances to
the Baltic, now, cover about 10000
square miles, it was reported.
Naval experts asserted that it
should not be assumed" that Ger
man vessels equipped with para
vanes or other recognized appara-
tus to fend off mines would be free
from danger. They intimated that
British navy mine experts had de-
veloped completely new mine types

to have muddy water available soon

speed the seasoning process. Other
quarters also indicated silt-filled

1t WAS still matter of Specula-

Lee Submits Revised
| Adult Education Bill

Senator Lee, Democrat, Of Okla
homa, has introduced and referred
to the Senate Education and Labor
Committee a revised draft of his bill
to provide Federal aid for the States
and the District Of Columbia, to pro-
mote adult civic education.
For the coming fiscal year the
measure would authorize distribu-
ton of 5000, 900, and annually
thereafter for three years an ap-
preparation Of not to exceed SIC, ,OOO-
900. The States OF local school divi-
sions would have to arrange to put
up Is per cent Of the Federal
allotment.
A States allotment would be based
on the ratio of its inhabitants Of q
or over to the total number Of adults
in the country, but no State would
receive less than $4,000 during the
coming year, nor less than $50, 900
in each Of the succeeding three
years.
The main objectives of the bill are
listed as follows: To remove litter
acy, to aid naturalization education,

Hike in Debt Limit
To Finance Defense
May Be Requested
Several Senate Leaders,
However, Insist No
Action Will Be Necessary
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Talk arose yesterday that the ad-
ministration might send Congress a
last-minute request to increase the
$45, 900, 900 900 debt limit by $1,0O0,-
000, 900, but several Senate leaders
still insisted that no action would
be necessary at this session to
finance President Roosevelt's emer-
gency defense program.
The Treasury is making a study
to determine how much prospec-
tive congressional appropriations
would exceed the debt limit. Senate
revenue experts said that they
probably would top the present limi-
tation by about $1,000, 900 900. The
debt stands now at $42 ,786 900 900.
Sees No Need for New Taxes.
I'm his budget message, the Presi-
dent said it would be necessary
for Congress to raise $3.50, ,OOO, 900
in additional taxes if the debt limit
was not to be increased. Since then.
however, congressional experts have
estimated that Treasury revenues
for the fiscal year beginning July
would exceed original estimates by
about $400, 900 O0O-largely offsetting
the need for these taxes.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia agreed with Chairman Har-
rison of the Senate Finance Com
mittee that it would be possible to
defer until next session the entire
question of raising the debt or in
creasing taxes. Senator George en-
phasized, however, that he believed
1t would be preferable for CONGRESS
to enact new taxes now to finance
the emergency defense program.
Treasury to Make Report.
1t was expected at the Capitol
that the Treasury would make it's
report to the President early this
week and the Chief Executive then
would decide whether immediate
congressional action was necessary
Informed Senate leaders declared
that no action would be taken un-
less the President specifically re-
quested it.
This group argued that even
though appropriations would push
the debt over the present $45, 5000
100000 limit by the end of the next
nscal year, June 30, 1941, the debt
would not reach that level before
next February or March. Thus, they
said, Congress would have ample
time to act in the next session.

Barber Shop
Quartet Wanted
For Worlds Fair

Is there a barber shop quartet in
the house? The SPEBSQsA would
like to know.
The Society for the Preservation
and Encouragement of Barber Shop
Quartet Singing in America, non
profit fraternal order, is securing
the country for barber shop quartets
to enter the national contest being
staged by the New York Worlds
Fair.
They are anxious to get a local
quartet, adept at such close harmony
songs as Seeing Nellie Home II
Sweet Genevieve," II Had a
Dream" etc. The quartet doesn't
have to be good-just loud.
A number of local citizens are
members Of the national society, but
sing with chapters outside of Wash
ington. Among them are Senator
Prentiss M. Brown of Michigan,
Russell Brown, Representative
Wesley E. Disney of Oklahoma, Sen
ator Theodore F. Green Of Rhode
Island, Senator Clyde L. Herring of
Iowa, Senator Lister Hill of Ala
bama, Gen. Hugh S. johnson, Luther
G. Steward. president of the Fedora
ton of Federal Employees, and
Marvin Mcintyre, White House Sec
retary.
The idea was started by o. o.
Cash of Oklahoma and has reached
out to include most of the function
ing barber shop baritones and
tenors in the country. The contest
department of the Worlds Fair is
giving out information about the
contest, for which 1t seeks a local
