Professors Find Porpoises
Have As Much Fun As People

MONTREAL, CANADA. - McGill
university scientists who made a
l0-year study OF the life of the por-
poise have come up with two i'm
portant facts: porpoises are as
bright as monkeys and they have
as much fun as people. The pur-
pose of their investigation was to
clear up some of the mysteries sur
rounding this animal. A few por-
poises were captured and placed for
observation in the Oceanarium at
Marine Studios in Marineland, Fla.
Among the things noted:
PROPOSES could tell at a glance
whether a fish dropped in water
was dead or alive.
They could see and hear well.
They were very nervous when
first placed in the tank but quickly
settled down and began enjoying
life, going so far as to eat out of a
mans hand.
II took them about a month to
learn how to jump out of the water
to catch food.
The scientists also discovered that
the porpoise did not fall in love with
any female that happened to come
along. He found one innate" more
captivating than another and, il
separated, he could single her out
when brought into a group again.
When he ran into an eternal tri-
angle" he handled it in the civilized
way. On her part, courted by two
SWANS, the female waited until she
made up her mind before choosing
the one she preferred.

Professor Raises Own
Mosquitoes for Lob Use

LAWRENCE, KAN. - Three colo
MES of domesticated mosquitoes
have been living on a special diet Of
powdered dog biscuits and raisins
at the University of Kansas.
The mosquitoes were grown from
eggs by DR.. H. B. H~ungerford, pro-
fessor of entomology.
The idea, DR.. Hungerford said, is
to raise mosquitoes for safe expert
mental use in his medical entomol-
ogy class.
The mosquitoes used were of the
yellow fever type. But the insects
ere injected with bird malaria,
which humans can't get.
Thus they were disable for class
experiments with no danger to the
students.

Gold Miners Don't
Know Precious Ore
When They See It

Lead, S. D.-A gold miner is about
as likely to see an elephant under
ground as he is gold. And if he did
e it he probably wouldn't recog-
nize it.
This is one of the oddities of dig
ging out the yellow metal that gives
the soldiers at Fort Knox something
to guard and provides the nations
dentists something with which to f"l
a tooth.
at is very rare to find free specks
Of gold" said Harlan Walker, as
sistant general manager of the
Homestake mine, largest in the
Americas" A miner can work years
here and never see any,"
Many miners cannot even deter
mine ore-bearing rock from waste
or country rock" Sites worth
working are outlined by skilled min
ing engineers.
Gold mining Is an intricate in
dustry comparable in many ways
to an automobile factory. It takes
many skills to CLEAN from one ton
Of ore its final product-barely
enough gold to make a mans we'd
ding ring. And it may cost $780,
900 or more to blast through coun-
try rock to reach an ore body worth
working.
Waste Is Returned
Practically everything taken out
of the mine is put back in with one
noteworthy exception, the gold.
After the ore has been crushed and
passed through meshes of a screen
finer than the sitting cloth used in
flour mills, the waste sand is
pumped back into the mine as "fill"
to prevent wall collapses.
Gold miners are a hardy, snuff
chewing e who hold a high dis
dain for coal mines. They work a
.seven-hour, six-day week and the
top workers earn S12 to SIS a day.
They live a mile above sea level
here and work a mile from their
homes-straight down. Their chief
task is drilling seven-foot holes in
the tunnel face and stuffing them
with dynamite which they set off
at the end of their shift. Laborers
then do the mucking-loading the
blasted ore with power shovels.
At present the gold mining in
dustry in the United States is in a
slump. The Homestake mine is
operating at only about so per cent
capacity.
Before the war the United States
produced IA per cent of the worlds
gold each year." Walker said.
"Now it produces only about S per
cent.
=. "The reasons? The present cell
ing price on gold, shortage of labor.
costs and high taxes"
1t takes 20 days and incredible
labor to harvest from 35 tons OF
ore in the mine the one pound
DR. less of gold bullion that emerges
the refinery. But Walker is
weary of people who say, why go
TO all that trouble? 1t is just taken
put Of one hole here and put back
INTO another hole at Fort Knox"
His reply: "If the gold wasn't
mined the country would soon find
,ut how important it is. 1t has many
uses-and there never
vas a nation that felt it had enough
or money"
One indication of its value: they

Hybrid Seeds Are
Designed to Give
Improved Crops

CHICAGO.-This year on the farm
promises to be the biggest season
yet for those hybrid seeds designed
to produce food per acre.
Their performance was hampered
last year by bad weather, but farm
ers expect them to show what they
really can do this time.
The hybrids are the plants whose
parents have been carefully chosen
for many generations. None of the
great progress with them came
easily. Painstaking work in the
laboratory. test pilot and field must
be carried on by agronomists for at
least 10 years-sometimes up to 20
years-to develop new varieties of
plants.
But since the hybrids entered the
big time early in the '30s, these
things have happened in represen-
tative states:
Corn was up % per cent in Illinois
and Iowa in 1916. although comhi-
nation Of heavy spring rains and
midsummer drought wrecked the
crop last year. The Illinois peak
yield was 81 bushels average to the
acre in 1916, compared with 43
bushels in 1882. the best prehybrid
season.
Wheat Yield Climbs
Average wheat yields have
climbed 20 per cent or more in Ohio,
and still are rising. They have in
creased nearly a third in top-pro-
ducing Kansas.
Old-line varieties Of soft red
winter wheat in Ohio, like Poole.
Fultz. and Fulcaster, have consis-
tently yielded an average Of SO
bushels an acre. Butler, the newest
of the hybrids in production there,
is yielding 49, bushels. This means
Ohio farmers will get an estimated
six million bushels a year more than
they would by sticking to the older
types.
Oats have coasted at around a ma
tional average of 80 bushels to the
for several years, but a new
variety called Clinton gets into the
big show for the first time this year.
In test fields in Illinois it has run
an average Of nearly 83 bushels an
acre for the last six years.
Other major crops like rye, bar
ley, clover rice and soybeans are
better today too.
In work with hybrids these men
may choose parent stocks because
they are heavy producers, or can
resist disease and drought, or are
better fitted to the soils and climate
n which they are to grow.

MARRIAGE DEFLATION

A bear market in seems to be developing, though you would guess it from the brides pictures that crowd the social columns Nevertheless the Public Health Service reports decline in marriage licenses issued in September in 72 major cities

 Some explain the decline by saying there is scarce y anybody left to get married. Certainly most re- turned servicemen must by have completed their eager dash to the altar And of recent years the midde-aged and elderly unattached have been equally zealous to wed However, crop for the marriage market comes on every year including the youngsters the widowed and divorced
 Several depressing factors may have been slow ing up the marriage business, namely the high cost of living The housing shortage with it's attendant life with in-laws, and the return of caution which went out the window with the emotionalism of war time Marriage experts also report long range growth of an attitude among to cling to the single life and it's freedom from responsibility.

Ideal Successor
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Although cabinet changes still very much in the stage, a particular interest attaches to Secretary of State George Marshals statement that he is going to retire in January Next to the Pres- dency itself the State Department post probably is of greater importance and responsibility than any other in the Federal service just While continue to wage cold a globa scale, the conduct of foreign policy overshadows every other phase of the governmental process
 For that reason, a further is of special interest-the rumor that Lewis w. Douglas now Ambassador to Great Britain, will be President Tru- mans choice to succeed Secretary Marshall would be head to find better choice Ambassador Douglas has been at the very center of negotiations with the ERP nations. He has had his hand the pulse of all dealings with the other members of the Big Four Powers. He has been strikingly successful in presenting foreign policy problems to the committees of Congress.
 For the next two three years the most important problems of foreign policy doubtless will be economic aid to Europe and military cooperation with Europe It would be disastrous to bring inexperienced man into the State Department at a time when such in- volved and delicate problems at issue This is doubly true since MT. Truman inclnes to leave far more discretion to his Secretary of State than many Chief Executives have done in the past.
 It is only rumor to be sure. But the report that Lewis Douglas is in line for Secretary Marshal1s place is reassuring note in the news
