WHOSE TAIL is BURNING?-

The Saturday Evening Post recently ran an article on
turkeys To illustrate the birds STUPIDITY the author cites
instances where they roasted lighted flares slowly
roasting themselves and apparently didn't know whose
tail was burning.
The magnitude of the fire loss in this country makes
the American people alarmngy like turkeys Fire

turkey could save itself by the simple expedient of
hopping off the burning flare The American people could
prevent something like 90 per of all fires by almost

Matched late. A recent survey of

that the time of Matching seemed
to have more influence on egg pro-

Prepare for your chicks before
the day they arrive.
If possible, locate the brooder

Provide ample room in the brood

pay. One-half square foot of floor
space for each chick up to six weeks
old is considered ample. From six
to 10 weeks old, each chick needs
one square foot of floor space, and
from 10 to IA weeks old each bird
will need one and a half square
feet of floor space.
Provide adequate ventilation in
the brooder house. Proper ventila-
ton will reduce damages to chicks
from brooder stove fumes and stale
air and will aid in keeping the
house dry and comfortable. Plenty
of fresh air, free from drafts, is
essential to good chick health.
Provide natural light in the house.
Sunshine helps keep the house dry
and comfortable, discourages the
spread of diseases, and encourages
the chicks to eat and be more ac-
tive.
Clean and disinfect the brooder
house and equipment thoroughly
before chicks arrive.
Adjust the brooder stove at least
three days before the chicks are
to arrive. Keep temperature at
about 80 degrees at the edge of the

Sixth international
geological Congress
Held In Stockholm

STOCKHOLM.-(By airmaiD =
The Sixth International Congress
of Experimental Cytology-one of
this years great events in the sci
entific world-was held in Stock
holm July 1917. Nearly $50 re-
search workers from % countries
participated, and the program in
cluded no less than 1856 lectures,
dealing with some of the most fun
damental questions in the fields of
biology, chemistry, and medicine,
the construction and functions of
the cell, virus. bacteria, chromo-
somes, and blood corpuscles.
The Congress was held at the
large and modern Carolinian Hos
pital in the outskirts of the cap
ital, Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf
acting as royal patron. Professor
John Runnstrom, noted cellular re-
search worker, as President of the
Congress, and assistant professor
Holger Hyden as secretary.
Several American scientists were
among those who delivered lee
lures. Thus Professor A. Mirsky
gave talk on The Chemistry of
Chromosomes" de s CT ibing his
methods of isolating the chrome
somes in the cells and of investi-
eating their chemical composition.
He emphasized that his researches
confirmed in every detail the re-
suits previously obtained by the
Swedish Professor T. Caspersson
and his school in Stockholm. Pro-
fessor Rene Dubois gave an &C
count of the structure of men,
branes of bacteria. He pointed out,
among other things, that certain
in the bacterium wall
probably determine whether t h e
bacteria will cause a disease or
not. DR.. A. F. w. Hughes lectured
on new methods for measuring the
of the cell liquid.
One day the Congress paid Wis
it to the Nobel Prize winner Pro-
fessor Name Siegbahn's Physical

guests the Physio-Chemical Insti-

struction at the Institute.
Before the Congress adjourned,
a resolution was adopted to place

STOCKHOLM-An interesting
passenger car is the latest product
of the well-known Swedish air
craft manufacturers, the Saab
Aircraft Company, of Link0ping.
It has long been rumored that this
company intended to take up the
production of small car of the
low-price class. for which there is
a great demand in Sweden as we'll
as in other countries, and recently
the aab-92"-which is the pre-
liminary name of the new car
was unveiled" before a number
of expectant journalists and no.
toring experts. The car proved to
be a very attractive vehicle with
sweeping lines and excellent driv-
ing qualities-it is described as
'fool-proof," as skidding has been
rendered practically impossible
owing 10 the front-wheel drive and
to the relatively light rear part.
The fact that the car has been
created by an aircraft company
has had a definite influence on its
general design and on various de-
tells. Thus, the streamlined body
the shape of which has been de-
signed as a result of careful tests
n wind tunnel. offers only half
the air resistance as compared
with car of conventional shape
This has been rendered possible,
among other things, by making
the under-part quite smooth. The
chassis has no frame; the steel
body of the car has been welded SO
as TO form a self-supporting unit,
to which the mobile parts have
been attached with small num-
Der Of bolts.
The car, which has roomy ac-
oommodation for four persons, is
front-wheel-driven, being equipped
with 2-cylinder, 2-stroke motor
Of "a horsepower. The lubrica-
ton is effected by using fabricated
gasoline. The maximum speed is
reported to be a little over So
m.p.h. What is more important,
however, is that it has a very good
acceleration, thanks to its rela-
lively low weight-about 1900
pounds.
Two trial specimens nave so 1aI

progress for the large-scale pro-
duction, which is expected to start
in the beginning of 1949. Special
machinery is being delivered from

company's plant at Trollhattan,
