Beavers Baffie Engineers

Ingham county, Michigan, road
commission engineers, with the aid
of a trapper, have solved q high
way construction problem which has
puzzled them for two years.
A family of beavers did it.
Alaiedon township was the loca-
ton of the knotty road building prob
lem. The beavers had selected q
timbered hideout along the poplar
lined branch of Mud creek. A trou-
blesome sink hole developed at the
point where the stream crosses q
township road.
The problem was made more com.
plex by the fact that the beavers
had constructed dam in the creek
branch and kept the swamp thor
ouphly flooded. Engineers learned
by tests that hard bottom was 60
feet from the surface of the old
road.
Persisting in their efforts to build
a firm road across the three-ouar.
ter-of-a-mile stretch of swamp, the
county engineer obtained a sermit
from the state conservation depart.
ment to trap the beavers. A tran
per was employed and he caught
three of the animals.

A Dreadful Insects

Perhaps the most dreadful, GER
tainly the strangest of BraNl's dan
gerous insects, is the shtutu, a
moth which leaves on the. Clothes a
drop of liquid containing an egg.
This egg within a few days matches
into a tiny worm which ehters the
skin through one of the pores, and
grows into a maggot irons half to
one inch long. A large Swelling
arises, and if this is touehed the
maggot grips the flesh witt its pin
GERS, causing intense pain. The In
dians have an extraordinar. method
of removing these creature l. They
make kind of sucking sc md with
their lips whereupon the maggot
thrusts its black head % J of its
air hole and ways it abor t. 1t is
then seized and withdraw leaving
a gaping hole.

Three Cities Joint Airport

Three Michigan cities-Saginaw,
Bay City and Midland-win cooper
ate in managing new airport to
be built with federal funds, adding
to the list of more than 40 such
jointly operated airports in the coun-
try.
The airport will be built by army
engineers under supervision of the
Civil Aeronautics authority, at an
initial cost of $527, 900. Half the
land cost of 100000 is assumed by
Saginaw, which also will pay half
the maintenance charges when the
airport is finished. Bay City will
pay 30 per cent of the maintenance
costs and Midland 20 per cent.
The intercity action dates back to
1910, when the three cities requested
state aid on individual airports. The
joint project was suggested by the
CAA, and each city passed an ordi-
nance under the state enabling act
permitting participation. A three
man commission consisting of the
chief officials Of Saginaw, Bay City
and Midland, will operate the air.
port and will be responsible directly
to the city councils.

United Kingdom Taxes

No taxes are imposed by the Unit
ed Kingdom on either colonies or
dominions. This is true also of war
expenses. Financial contributions Of
British colonies to the war effort
have been in the form of free gifts
for the purchase Of fighting aircraft,
etc. The Dominions are independ-
ent members of the British COM
monwealth of nations. Their whole
war effort, financial and otherwise,
els entirely voluntary. Their finan-
cial support Of the war has been
chiefly IN the form of (a) loans to
Great Britain; and (b) in supplying
their own materials. AS. allies >of
the United Nations they have sent
armies to the various fronts and
they tax themselves to maintain
these armies.

dren and in adolescents and adults.
The subcommittee warns that no

accepted as diagnostic Of early nu-
tritional failure. It says, however.
that symptoms and signs when
verified by competent physician
and when other possible causes have
been ruled out should be considered
as significant indications.
Those symptoms in infants and
children which parents or teachers
might observe are as follows: Lack
of appetite, failure to eat adequate
breakfast, failure to gain steadily
in weight, aversion to normal play,
chronic diarrhea, inability to sit,
pain on sitting and standing, poor
