BY UNITED PRESS

The Rome and Berlin radios Fri
day told their listeners that great
raids on Dutch Harbor and Midway
island had spread panics and alarm
among the people of the United
States and Canada.
Radio Berlin played up the pan
1c', saying the people of the Pacific
coast were undergoing fearful men
tai torture while their radio sta
tions were silent and unable to re-
port the new Axis raids.
Stefani, Italian news agency, said
the Dutch Harbor raids were re

the Japanese were surprised by
weak defenses."

Food for S1.S7 Year

British nutrition problems appear
solved with the discovery by an
NIT. scientist of a wonder cereal
which can supply all the vitamins
necessary to health for $1.87 q year
per person.
Disclosure of the pre-cooked
cereal was made by DR.. Robert
S. Harris. The United States gov
eminent has been given the formula
composed of the simplest of foods
and it already has been sent to
Britain.
DR.. Harris pointed out that when
the preparation was used daily to
supplement the present diet, It
would bring "a per cent Of Ameri-
can diets up to highest nutritional
levels and definitely improve the
other six. Harris, who developed q
new type of pemmican for the U. s.
Antarctic expedition last year, said
the new foods were a natural out
growth of the pemmican work.

Scientists Discover New
Micro Organism Facts

New facts about the diphtheria
bacillus have been discovered by
DR.. Harry E. Morton, University OF
Pennsylvania, and DR.. Thomas r.
Anderson, research laboratories Of
the Radio Corporation of America.
The new and powerful electron mi
croscope, which uses particles OF
electricity instead of light and mag
netic fields instead of lenses to let
scientists see objects one-fiftieth the
size of anything heretofore visible,
enabled Doctors Morton and Ander-
son to record the location of chem
ical reactions within the diphtheria
bacillus. They discovered in cleo
tron microscope studies reported to
the Society of American Bacteriolo-
gists that crystals Of tellurium
metal are formed from tellurite
salts within the diphtheria bacillus.
The fact that the diphtheria
bacillus and other heterogeneous
could reduce tellurite salts to black
tellurium metal has been known
since 1900, but in the case of the
diphtheria bacillus, it was ex-
planned, it was not known where the
formation Of the metal occurred.
Crystals of tellurium are not only
contained within many Of the diph-
liberia cells, the electron microscope
pictures showed, but in some cases
the crystals perforate the cells and
extend into the surrounding space.

Mystery Gift Checks Stor

The days Of angelic blessing for
persons Of Ava, Mo-, this Ozark
mountain community appear to be
at an end. Not since May, 1910,
has one Of the puzzling "angel Of
Ave. checks been received. Ava
enjoyed national publicity during
the first few months of the year
when opening the days mail was
something like searching for gold
in a nugget sprinkled creek bed. The
'anger' passed out more than 81 900
by approximated reckoning to folks
living in this community by way Of
cashiers checks. The mayor got
the last one in May. All efforts to
probe behind the checks and discov-
er the angels" identity have failed.
But it does look as though that neb-
ulous individual may now live in
Kansas City. ALI except one Of the
checks was purchased in Kansas
City.
