worked on small scale with the
garden seeds and it occurred to Mr..
Earle that it might also be applied
to the heavier grains.
The Process.
The Earle process consists of a
series of tanks into which raw wheat
grains are poured in the ratio of
about az pounds of water to pound
of wheat. In each of six Identical
tanks there is an impellor which
agitates the wheat grains and throws
them against the sides Of the tanks
in such way that the outer hull
is cracked and made ready to re-
move.
Each of the cells through which
the wheat grains pass removes more
of the splintery husk until the
grains, cleaned of their outer cover
ing, pass into flotation tanks. There
certain reagents are added, as in
in the fiotation of gold. The clean
wheat grains float to the surface and
are ready to be made into -four

Trapped Miner, 1S, Digs
Out After 81 Hours
By the Associated Press.


CENTRALIA, Pa, April T.
Eighteen-year-old Joseph LOTUS
didn't even vince today while hos
pital nurses changed dressings on his
hands worn raw by digging his way
out of a coal mine cave-in so feet
underground, where he had been
trapped and almost given up for
dead for So hours.
Except for deep cut in his head
he was knocked unconscious by a
falling timber in the slide which
entombed him and a fellow worker
at ii am. last Friday-young LOTUS
was pronounced in good condition
by doctors.
Miners dug their way to Leonard
Burns, As. Saturday morning, but
had almost abandoned hope for Lof-
tus, who had been working about
40 feet farther on.
Yesterday two men went down the
first emergency shaft sunk toward
the cave-in while others labored at
a new shaft about 40 feet away.
In the first, the earth slowly buleed
beneath them and LOTUS clawed his
way into the tunnel.

AUNT MARTHA
Falling Shrapnel

Shell fragments from anti-air-
craft fire fall like hail over the
areas from which the shells are
fired. This is one of the reasons
for AFRAID a1arms-to clear the
streets and surrounding zones Of
people who might otherwise be in
jured by the falling fragments.
According to the U. S. bureau Of
standards, the average anti-air-
craft shell is blown into approx
mately $500 fragments, many Of
them small and relatively harm
less. Occasionally, however, large
fragments fall with velocity
enough to damage buildings and
cause serious or even fatal injury.

FAR EAST:
Pressure

Japan, under terrific pressure
from the Axis, moved her fleet down
toward the South Pacific and made
strong demands for privileges Of ex-
ploitation of territory on the Dutch
East Indies.
Four powers, Australia, Britain,
The Netherlands and the United
States, simultaneously put the pres
sure on Japan, and there was little
indication which way the 'scat would
jump" whether Japan would be pro-
PEELED into open war on the Axis side
or would back down precipitately.
Britain warned Japan that her
moves against the Dutch East In
dies would be considered in the light
Of warlike act.
Australia echoed this, and held a
special secret cabinet meeting to
discuss defensive action against
Japan.
The Netherlands government, in
London, ordered all ships in East
Indian waters or neighborhoods to
put at once into neutral ports, a
The United States issued to all
Americans in China and Japan a
third and peremptory warning to
leave Immediately.
Quick was the response from
Japan, but once again the response
showed the nation is divided, and
there were reports that there were
so many Axis agents in positions Of
power in Tokyo that the Japanese
government was in reality little
more than a puppet.
The first evidence that the pres
sure from the four powers was TAX
ing effect came from official jap
anese sources, in the form of a
statement that the fleet movements
had only been to keep order in Thai
-Indo-C Chinese territory, and that
no warlike measures against the
South Pacific were intended.
But the very next day, after Pres
ident Roosevelt had had long, per-
sonal and serious talk with Ambas-
sador Nomura, the only announce
ment from which was that he had
stressed the necessity Of friendly re-
lations, one Japanese newspaper
printed an editorial comment that
Nomura was confronted with an
impossible task"
On this fire the italian and Ger
man papers heaped oil, one Rome
dispatch saying that American ac-
tivities in the Pacific were definitely
threatening to japan and could only
result in war.
The activities" referred to were
contracts awarded for the fortifica-
ton of Pacific bases, more than $4,-
zoe, 900 alone to be spent at Guam,
a base at which the Japansese have
been looking sideways for long
time.
{ But If these activities" were
threatening, the Axis powers had
something new to get excited about
when Great Britain announced that
she had mined the sea lanes in the
vicinity of Singapore, her important
oriental naval base. While the brief
government notice to mariners CIV
ing the boundaries of the mined
areas gave no explanation as to why
the move was made, it was general

BATTLE OF BRITAIN:
West Front

Whether the British believed that
Germany was 'feinting" in the Mid
die East and the Balkans or not, no
stone was being left unturned by the
Raj to attempt to assume mastery
Of the air on the western front.
A long succession of raids was
carried out on channel or invasion
ports, growing in intensity, while the
Nazi raids were becoming less and
less intense, leading to a conviction
in England that Hitler's men were
resting for what might be the deci-
sive attack by air of the war.
In one raid the British airmen
dropped bombs and incendiaries
from Ostend to Boulogne hour after
hour, working in waves, until watch
ers on the Kentish coast reported
miles and miles of the opposing
coastline to be in flames.
The weather was clear and the
thousands standing on the British
c1iff-tops had a fine view of the at
tack, which, though it took place at
night, was brilliantly illuminated by
German searchlights, by bomb
flares and by the resulting fires.
AS the airmen went over the heads
of the watchers and came back from
the scene of action, ferrying their
loads of death and destruction over
the channel, enormous cheers rose
from the watching throngs.
The anti-aircraft barrage all along
the coast seemed to the witnesses
more powerful than any seen be-
fore, giving rise to the belief that
perhaps this would be the main CEN
ter of Nazi activity in the spring,
not in the Balkans.

FINGER-PRINTERs

Most sought-after jobs in the gov
eminent recently are finger-printers
in the Federal Bureau Of Investiga-
ton. One reason for this is that
finger-printers often are promoted to
Omen.
There was an inundation Of appi-
cations for these jobs after enact
ment of the Alien Registration law,
many from young lawyers. The
starting pay is 81, 440, and being a
finger-printer is no sinecure.
For one thing, it Is hard on the
eyes. Finger-printers are required
to classify an average Of 80 prints
a day, and after a time the optical
strain becomes serious. The aver
age 'life span'' of a finger-printer
is four years, and most of them seek
promotions or transfers to other po-
sitions, the ablest becoming Omen.
Omen have new method Of TAX
ing finger-prints. The old ink pad,
with smears, is out. Instead, they
use nice clean pad saturated with
an invisible iron salt solution.
The fingers are pressed ON the
pad, then the imprint is made on q
card which is sensitized with an
other chemical responsive to the iron
solution. This produces a perfect
impression Of the fingers loops and
whorls without soiling the skin.

MOBILE HOUSING

MOBILE HOUSING
Harried by the national criticism
of failure to provide housing for de-
Tense workers, Defense Housing Co
ordinator Charles F. Palmer finally
has proposed to Roosevelt that the
government buy fleets Of trailers
and rush them to the most longest
ed industrial spots as temporary liv-
ing quarters.
In submitting his plan, Palmer
carefully avoided the term "trail-
ers'' and has cautioned his staff to
refer to them as mobile units" But
never mind the fancy Technology.
Plain, ordinary auto trailers are
what he proposes to use.
Palmer contemplates the pur-
chase Of thousands of these homes
on wheels, but where he is going
to get them remains to be seen. A
check Of trailer manufacturers dis
closed two interesting facts:
First, available at present are not
more than 1000 trailers, a drop in
the bucket compared to the tens Of
thousands Of housing units needed.
Second, the plants are working day
and night on urgent orders for the
army, and unless they suspend such
operations, can't make trailers.
Meanwhile, with a vast army of
migrated workers jammed into
makeshift quarters, the defense
housing problem daily becomes
more alarming. Public health au-
thorities are scared stiff over the
danger of epidemics.
ALIENS IN CONGRESS

them still have strong foreign ac-
cents.
B. j. Gehrmann Of Wisconsin and
Leonard w. sSchuetz of Illinois were
born in Germany. Karl Stefan Of
Nebraska and Rudolph Tenerowicz
Of Michigan were born in Austria.
Incidentally, when Stefan gives a
radio talk for the folks back home,
he says good-by in four different
languages, including German.
Two were born in Russia Samuel
Dickstein of New York and Herman
Kopplemann of Connecticut. Rep.
Samuel Weiss of Pennsylvania was
born in Poland, and Adolph SABBATH
of Illinois, the genial, popular dean
of the house, in Czechoslovakia.
There are two Canadian-born
members of the Charles

in Ireland; and Frank Crowther Of
New York and Robert Ramsay Of
West Virginia in England.
Robert Crosser Of Ohio and

AFRICA:
Record Drive

The history-making sweep of the
British armies, together with what
aid has been offered by African
forces, guerrilla bands Of natives and
the Free French under DeGau1le,
continued apace and seemed about
to make history as the greatest sin
gle advance of armed forces in the
history of human warfare.
The British forces were moving
rapidly into Tripolitania on the one
hand, and down on the Indian ocean
and the shores of the Red sea they
were making advances into Eritrea
in a pincers movement in which
army, navy and air force were CO.
operating. 0
The breakup of the italian armed
force in northern Africa was appar-
emily complete, and the populace of
Cyrenaica in Libya was settling
down under British rule and some
semblance of orderly government
was returning. M
The British were shooting 1ooters,
and while there were some few MUIR
ders of italian settlers by native
blacks, these were infrequent, as
most of the Italians had either fed
or had sought protection under the
British rule.
The armies under Wavel, gener-
ally called the Middle East COM
mand, were in a most anomalous
position, however, for while they
were rapidly occupying the whole Of
Mussolini's African empire, their SUI
premacy depended entirely on their
command of the Mediterranean sea
and anyways.
MISCELLANY:
vichy-Marshal Henri Philippe
Petain, head of the French govern
ment, got a taste of red tape when
he ordered pair of shoes. He was
forced, as are other citizens, to ex-
hibit the amount of wear on two
other pairs he owns. Finally his
application came back, stamped
