The Mearns Quail, which occurs
in semi-arid lands of the southwest,
probably had its original home in
tropical forest, according to DR..
Loye Holmes Miller, professor of
biology emeritus on the Los Angeles
campus of the University Of Cali
fornia.
DR.. Miller, who recently made a
study of the bird, reports that it
has a number of characteristics,
such as large eyes, which suggest
it evolved under forest conditions.
The nature of certain of its muscles
are similar to those of the tinamou
Of Ell Salvador.
The bird also bears closer struc-
tural resemblances to the forest
quail with which it is associated in
the southwest.
Curiously, many of the habits
which probably developed in the
tropics also serve the quail well in
its present habitat. It is able to
gather food in the dim light of early
dawn, and it can rise explosively to
seek cover in broken desert country
when flushed by man or one of its
natural enemies.

The many specialized schools OF
the Navy offer young men opportuni-
ty to further their education while in
the service of their country.
Emphasis is still being placed on
the Navy's Radio Technician School
which provides ten months of train
ing for men that qualify. Young men
in their final semester of high school
who will be graduated in June, that
successfully pass this mental and
physical examination, may be enlist

Religions Testimony


On the night of December 16-in
the dimly-lit parlors of Mexican
families, where the Nativity is rep
resented in a warm setting of ever
green, Spanish moss and colored
paper lanterns, the entire family
gathers round and begins the reci-
tation of the Rosary, interspersed
with songs to the Holy Child. Fol-
lowing this a children's procession
bearing images of st. Mary and St.
Joseph, and lighted candles, passes
through the different rooms of the
house and the patio. The few re-
manning people in the parlor sing
the Litany of the Virgin to which
the procession responds with the
"Ora pro nobis." As the Litany
closes the procession stops before
the closed doors of the parlor, those
of the procession taking the part
Of the travellers and those within
representing the innkeepers. Then
ensues dialogue between pilgrims
and innkeepers, with the ultimate
joyful admission of the pilgrims.

Recover Coal From
Bed of Susquehanna

The anthracite regions of Penn
sylvania are good $50 miles from
Harrisburg. Decades ago, anthra-
cite was shipped to Pennsylvania s
capital down the Susquehanna river
and over a canal which then paral-
leled the river.
Coal still comes to Harrisburg by
water-but not by boatl
Quantities of small particles of
coal are carried down the river by
high water and settle to the river
bed in quiet waters. In the imme-
diate vicinity of Harrisburg alone
approximately 100 dredges and
fiatboats search for these hidden
deposits of river bed coal. Each
year about 100000 tons of coal are
mined in this peculiar method.
The coal which is recovered is
available in three sizes, ranging
from rice-sized grains down to a
coal that is no larger than a grain
of dust--yet it is all prime anthra-
cite and finds ready market.

Belly Grader Among Jobs
Listed in Packing Plant
Signal Corps Photo

A "belly grader" in a packing
plant grades hog bellies according
to the cut, amount of lean meat,
thickness of the slab and the per-
lection of trimming. But a "brain
picker" must remove hog brains
from the split skulls by hand and
place them in pans for storage.
A "ham shaver" must pull out
the nails from the hind feet and
shave away any hair left on the
legs as the hog comes from the de-
hairing machine. An "offal laborer"
has the job of opening the stomachs
of beeves and sheep, emptying the
stomach Of its contents and placing
the drained stomach in a barrel. An
"offal washer" or Stomach scrub
Der" as she is sometimes called, re-
moves the blood and foreign mat
ter from viscera to prepare them
for packing.
A meek washer" doesn't sound
particularly unpleasant. The job,
however, consists of removing the
coagulated blood from the necks of
suspended hog carcasses. This may
be done by spraying with water
hose, by scraping with a combina-
ton scraper and hose or by scrub
bling with combination brush and
hose.
Removing the fatty tissue from
the pancreas is the job of "sweet-
bread puller," while "vein
pumper" uses pickle hose to inject
the meat with a pickle solution. AS
for the "viscera table man." he
trims the fat from the glands of
sterilized viscera.

Discover Healthy Men
Can Stand Under Heat

! Recent investigations have re-
vealed that men who are already
in good physical condition can be
expected to work effectively within
few days after they start in hot
climate, or they can be prepared for
such work by a few relatively short
daily exposures in artificially heated
rooms, The Journal Of the Amer
lean Medical Association points out,
adding that "These observations are
of immediate practical Importance
to the armed forces and to indus
try" The Journal says:
During the winter season S. Rob-
inson and his co-workers at the
fatigue laboratory of Harvard Uni
versity carried out experiments in
which five men walked on a motor
driven treadmill from one to one
and one-half hours a day in room
in which desert conditions were
simulated. The purpose Of these OBJ
servations was to determine the
rate and degree of adjustment to hot
climates. An artificially heated
room, where the temperature was
104 F. and the humidity % per cent,
was employed. The men walked on
motor driven treadmill at a rate
of three and one-half miles an hour
on a grade of 5.6 per cent Zone
walked on a grade of 4 per cent?.
During all experiments the men
wore standard army summer cloth
ing. Pulse rates were determined
by palpitation, rectal temperatures
by clinical thermometers and skin
temperatures by four thermo-
couples respectively located on the
chest, back, thigh and upper arm.
The rate of water loss was deter
mined by weighing in the nude be-
fore and after work All but the
one man who walked on the lower
grade approached heat exhaustion
in the early experiments, this being
manifest by high skin temperatures,
rectal temperatures of 103 to 104 F.
and heart rates averaging 178 beats
per minute during the last 20 min
utes of work. The daily walks were
continued for % days. The COM
parable heart rates of the men de-
clined from the average of 178 at
the beginning to 1855 on the seventh
day. The average skin temperature
of the men at the end of the work
experiments declined from 1914 to
96.5 F. and of the rectal temporal
ture from 1884 to 101.7 F. during
the same period. About 80 per cent
of improvement noted was found
to have occurred in the first seven
days of exposure.

War Declaration

The President does not have the
power to declare war. This power is
vested in Congress itself under
Art. l, Sec. 8, Par. II of the United
States Constitution.
A bill or joint resolution declaring
war does not differ from any other
bill or joint resolution and cannot
become effective until it has been
approved by the President or passed
over his veto by two-thirds of the
Senate and House of Representa-
tives. 1t has been the practice for
Congress to declare that state of
war exists and to charge the Presi-
dent with its prosecution, as COM
mander-in-chief of the army and
navy. Congress then provides for
the raising of troops and money,
neither of which the President
can do.

SCHOOL LUNCHES BY FEDERAL
BUREAU

| On March 7th, the House killed
a rider to II. II. 4278 authorizing
$50, 900, 700 for school lunch pro-
grams The Senate amended the bill
on the floor on May Bird, to author
ize a lunch program for two years.
The bill is now In conference. Mean
while, a number of bills establishing
Federal-Aid for school lunches have
been introduced with variety of
provisions.
Hearings have started before the
Senate Committee on Agriculture
and Forestry. The two leading bills
are:
S. 1920, which provides perma-
nent appropriation of from SOS mil
lions to 500 million annually un-
der the supervision of the Secretary
of Agriculture.
| s. 1924, which provides perma-
nent appropriation of $50 million an
nually under the supervision of the
U. s. Commissioner of Education.
! The qestion involved Is more than
that of adequate lunches for school
nourished. II parents cannot guaran-
tee this, then the counties or cities
can Or, If all else fails. the State
may undertake the work. There Is
ample authority and financial ability
in Maryland to insure that her chill
dren are properly fed, IL parents are
unable to perform that duty. To per-
| ,,,it nod hnr ts, M
children with free lunches would
mean starting another invasion into
purely State business and parental
authority by the Federal Govern
ment.
| While the bills above noted, on
their face, refer merely to supplying
adequate lunches for children, exper-
fence with Federal bureaus lunches
teaches us that there is no telling
to what extent bureaus will seek to
enlarge their power.
From the financial standpoint, the
proposal is startling. On the one
hand-the average individual has
high wages and full employment, the
counties, cities and states have am
| pie HHaHCldl TeSOuTCeS. anu IuOSL
states have large surpluses. On the
other-the Federal government has
had to borrow money to pay expenses
for the last decade, and it's debt Is
growing by the minute. Surely COM
mon sense indicates that such pure
| ly local matter should be handled
by the individual or the local gov
eminent, which can well afford 1t,
and not by the Federal government
which will have to go into debt an
other fifty or one hundred million
dollars year to do the job.
Now is the time for interested citi-
zens to tell our Senators, George l..
Radcliffe and Willard e. Tydings,
what they want them to do about
those proposed laws. Their address
is Senate Office Building, Washing
ton, d. G..
