SYDNEY. - Young barristers
being called to the bar in Aus
tralia find they cannot practice
law-because they cannot obtain
wigs.
No wigs have been imported
since 1899.
A leading barristers' supplier
said: sBarristers' wigs are made
by hand of horsehair. A London
firm has a virtual monopoly"
Local wig-makers have never
tried their hand at lawyers wigs.
A wig in an Australian court
is absolutely essential. If bar
rister appeared without one, the
stern Judge would declaim:
.sMr. cannot see YOU"
Any statements the barrirster
made would be ignored, and the
court would proceed as though he
were not there.

Since d ladle dipped into a

Although bread for sandwiches

SO each slice of bread is weighed.
Sometimes an extra piece, only

difference.
Meat or cheese for sandwiches
likewise is weighed to the gram.

/, cided TO use an animal closely
related to the human.
Chimpanzees Used
Expensive, hard-to-get Chin
panzees were selected, and using
the utmost caution to prevent
contamination from other sourc-
es, the Yale doctors fed the sliced
bananas to two chimpanzees
named by their handleds, Click
DRY" and "Catawba". Immediate
ly, tests of the feces from the
chimps were begun. Within a
short time the doctors were
amazed at the discovery that the
bowel eliminations from both ami
mails were loaded with the virus
of infantile paralysis.
Unaware that they were maxi
ing medical history, Hickory"
and "Catawba" remained appar-
emily healthy with no symptoms
of infections, even though their
stool specimens when injected
into small monkeys produced
clinical symptoms of infantile pa
ralysiS. Recovering active virus
from these chimpanzees proved
that food exposed to flies in the
home of an infantile paralysis pa
tient could infect laboratory ami
mails.
Where did the virus come from?
That was the next question to be
answered by the medical detec-
tives from Yale. 1t was not pos
sible that the food had become
contaminated with virus in any
other place except the home of
the patient because the bananas
were not peeled and prepared un-
til the investigators had reached
the selected house. Could it be
that something other than flies
had contaminated the food in the
home? Possible, but not very
probable. There was good evil
dence that the contamination had
come from flies, but during the
period of exposure the investiga-
tors had noticed many flies set
Ting on the plates of sliced ba-
nanas.
While this latest scientific study
does not positively prove that
flies transmit the disease, it does
shown that flies can carry, on
certain occasions, the injecting
virus in their bodies, deposit it on
food and thus complete the chain
of transmission to humans.
Keep flies away from Food"
is sound advice. All who wish to
do everything possible to avoid
the dangers of infantile paralysis
would do well to follow strictly
the precautions listed by tie Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, for these safeguards are
based on the results of scientific
research.

AUCKLAND, N. 2. First a
hot lake, then mass of red-hot
lava, the crater of Mount Ruap-
ehu, 5000 feet high, in the center
of the North Island Of New Zea-
land, now has developed into a
fine snow basin for skiers.
This crater lake, surrounded
by icy cliffs several hundred feet
high, had for years been one OF
New Zealand's foremost tourist
attractions. Bluish-green in color,
it was cool enough for swimming
in some parts while in others it
was almost boiling. 1t gave off a
sulphurous vapor and at times
there were minor upheavals in
the lake. Otherwise the mountain
gave no sign of activity and it
was generally considered to be
decreasing into an extinct vol
cano.
Last year. however. If burst
into violent activity. sending
shots thousands of feet into the
air. and hurting out from the
crater boulders as large as
houses. The lake disappeared
and only masses of lava were
visible in the raging inferno of
the crater. a heavy coating of
volcanic ash covered the noun
tain and made skiing impos-
sible.
This year activity has stead
lily decreased and with the winter
sports season now in full swing.
skiers have been flocking to the
mountain. The floor of the old
lake covers some eight acres. It
is broken only by volcanic
vent in the center This still
shows signs of minor activity.
Water is at times thrown up to
a height of 80 feet.

Clark Gable and Greer Carson together for the. first time spell "Adventure!" That's the title of Metro Goldwyn Mayors Academy Award filled drama which uniteS two of the greatest box office names of all time on the STRAND screen starting "wednesday.
 Not only does the picture bring these two great champions together, but it has Victor Fleming, the man responsible for such history-mak- ing films as Gone With The Wind ''Test Pilot" and "A Guy Named Joe" as director.
 For the first time in three years and half, Clark Gable trades his Majors uniform for screen garb. AS Bo'sun of the Merchant Marine freighter, Minnie Tolbert," he is seen as a rough, tough sailor. It is the two-fisted, virile type of role which has made the Gable a box office champion for ten years, a rec ord unequaled by any other actor in Hollywood.
 Miss Carson, too, changes char acterizations completely. She losses aside her bnstle of Madame Curie" and Mrs. Parkington," for Irene designed clothes of today. As Emily, pretty but strait-laced librarian who discovers she has a temper to match her red hair when she meets Gable, the actress has a chance to display her talents not only for the emotional roles which have brought her an Academy Award, but the sophisticated comedy which made her a favorite of the London stage.
 Stellar support for the spectacu-- lar duo is provided by Joan Blondell as the flip and fast-talking room mate of Miss Carson. Another Academy Award winner in the case is Thomas Mitchell as Mudgin, the man who loses his soul" Also in the cast are Tom Fully.

CHOICE M0RsEL
 1t Says Here:
By BOB HOPE GROOM STRIKE AT SANTA ANITA

For a while, the smart money boys at Santa Anita were betting their favorite nags to win, place" or start" The grooms at the track went on strike and it was 8 little confusing. The first race was won by "Valdina Crumb" with two pickets placing second and third.
 But those boys deserve every thing they get. I've seen the groorns around the stables and they have to work pretty hard. They're always in there pitching!
 There was a little excitement before the first race. One big horse player tried to cross the picket line and they tipped over his tout!
 But the honses didn't have any, one to groom them, and they really looked shaggy. One lilly was four lengths ahead in the stretch; but then she stopped and started back the other way. Her mane was such mess she just couldn't bear to be seen in 8 photo-finiSh.
 ut they really need good grooms out here in California. These Hollywood horses won't run unless they have dark glasses, eye shad- ow, an upSwept tail and pads on their hips. One horse saw pie ture of Rita Hayworth, and ever since she won't put hoof on the track unless they let her wear a strapleSS saddle!
