Shift Of Stars Noted
BY Einstein Remains
Astronomic Bugaboo
By q stoff Correspondent Of T',c Sc


CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The star
shift predicted by Albert Einstein
when he first published the general
theory of relativity in 1915 and
which can be observed only during
a total eclipse of the sun remains
a bugaboo of astronomers.
The theory held that the light of
star passing close to such mas
sive body as the sun would be bent
to predictable degree. Eclipse
observers since 1918 have seen this
phenomenon, but never in exactly
the amount predicted by DR.. Elm
stein.
When the combined National Geo.
graphic Society Army Air Forces
expedition went to Brazil last spring
special equipment was set up. under
the direction of DR.. G. Van Bies-
brock of Yerkes Observatory, which
was intended definitely to settle the
question.
Next Eclipse Due in 1855.
But the result, DR.. Van Bies-
brock told: the astronomical section
OF the American Association for
Advancement of Science today, still
is in doubt because when the eclipse
occurred the sun was in a very poor
field of stars. The nearest was near
ly four times the radius Of the suns
disc distant.
The measurements seem to show a
shift greater than DR.. Enstein pre-
dicted. 1t will be necessary to wait
until 1855 when there will be a
5-minute eclipse in the Philippines
with the sun against rich back
ground of stars.
Production of atom exploding
corn for chicken feed was described
by DR.. H. G. Jacobson of the Con-
necticut Agricultural Experiment
Station.
Phosphorus Mixed in Gravel.
Radio active phosphorus was
mixed in gravel culture in which
the corn was grown It was found
that this phosphorus was taken up
by the kernels. One extract from
the grain, calcium phytate was so
radioactive that Jacobson counted
almost $4,000 atom explosions a
minute in 100 milligram sample.
This will be fed to chickens to
see what happens to various chemi-
cal fractions Of grain after it Is
eaten.
Every few years a new and de-
vastating plant disease breaks out
somewhere in the country. This is
particularly true in the grain belt.
Wheat or Dat varities bred for gen.
erations against roots and blights
until they seemed absolutely resist
ant suddenly lose all resistance.
Fungi Undergo Mutations.
1t has generally been assumed
that this is because the fungi re-
sponsible for these diseases under
mutations-that is, develop new
species with new properties-under
the influence of heat, cold, ultra
violet rays or cosmic rays. 1t was

explained as essentially the same
phenomenon as leads to new species
among animals but, since the fungus
spores are so much more numerous
it happens much oftener.
Drs. J. J. Christensen and c. L.
Schneider Of the Minnesota Agri-
cultural Experiment Station tested
this theory Twenty EIGHT years
ago they took single fungus spore
of the variety which causes root rot
in wheat. 1t was microscopic. 1t
was grown on a synthetic diet. In
the interval it has multiplied to
$4,000.
All but five of these, the plant
pathologists reported today, are
identical with the original ancestor
and have the same ability to attack
the roots of wheat. But one in 5000
is as different as white blackbird
from a black blackbird.
Blamed for Oat Disease.
If let loose they probably would
start new types of plant diseases. 1t
is some such mutation, they believe,
which is responsible for new and
very destructive disease of oats
which has ravished the corn belt
in the past three years.
A rat poison five times more ef-
fective than the most deadly yet
known has been prepared at the
toxicity laboratory Of the University
of Chicago, operated for the Army
Chemical Corps, 1t was announced.
This was made by DR.. Kenneth P.
Dubois from captured German
formula. 1t acts on the nervous
systems of the animals, producing
violent convulsions. Unfortunately
it also is poisonous for dogs and cats.
DR.. Dubois has developed antidotes,
he said, effective against doses
twentyfold what ordinarily would be
fatal.

NEWS FOR ALL
TRACTOR OWNERS

Raymond S. Gosle has on display
a new chart of interest to all trac-
tor owners concerned with getting
the most work out of their tractors
at lowest expense and in least
time.
Called a tractor economy chart, I"
the poster clearly shows the best
engine speed and gear speed for
each type of farm work Fuel con-
sumption, wear and tear on the
tractor, and time required for a
job can be greatly reduced by cor
rect gear selection and throttle
setting.
Truck manufacturers and oper-
ators have long known the value
of correct engine speed and gear
ratio for hauling needs. Highway
trucks are frequently equipped
with as many as Is forward gear
speeds to permit most economical
operation. knowledge thus gained
/ is applied to tractor operation by
this new chart.
The tractor economy chart was
developed by engineers of Sherman
Products, Inc, farm equipment
manufacturers, to show tractor op.
orators the time and dollar value

/ ratio.

mined quints were not quite there
last Sat. to overcome a very fast
and aggressive Canton five.
!. During the course of the game
East found themselves quite a
few times to get within striking
distance but fell once again On
the short end of a 34-32 count.
Thanks loadsCanton for the swell
meal and grand time you showed
us all.
Maybe singing practice ought
to be held on Saturday nights on
the way back from games. What
spirit one can derive from spirits.
You'd think we won the game
from the morale displayed by all.
About the hayride party? 1t
was grand success even thoug,,
there was marked absence of the
fair sex. I'm sure everyone had a
grand time on the most success
full social we've had in MANY a
