When Gas Rafioning Comes,
Here's How TO Save Fuel

DETROIT.-With the anticipated
gasoline shortage. particularly in
the Midwest, the engineering division
Of the Chrysler corporation has con-
Quoted tests to demonstrate how
gasoline savings up to 70 per cent
can be achieved.
w. B. Rice, director Of service,
reported that the secret Of the saw
ings lay in:
l. Proper tune-up Of the car, in
Guiding ignition. carburetion, cooling
system, oil change and chassis lu-
IRRIGATION. and steering and brake adj
justments.
2. Employment of proper driving
techniques in handling foot throttle
and brakes.
Tests showed that the first 10 per
cent of savings were achieved by a
tune-up Of the car. Rice reported.
Moderate ~acceleration and brak-
ing showed a go per cent greater
mileage over the quick stop and
start artists" he added.
One test over a 10-mile course In
heavy traffic In Detroit showed that
the moderate starting and stopping
driver made so per cent fewer stops
and averaged only 2 per cent slower
speed.

Professor Claims Solar
System Has LOST Planet

COLUMBUS, OHIO. - The solar
system once may have had 10 prin.
cipal planets instead of the present
known nine.
That is the theory Of DR.. Carl A.
Bauer of the University Of Michigan
observatory.
Bauer told a meeting Of the
American Astronomical society that
his theory is based on a long-stand-
ing hypothesis. The belief is that
such a planet also was the parent of
the thousands Of asteroids or minor
planets which inhabit the portion Of
the solar system between the orbits
of Mars and Jupiter.
The supposed planet. Bauer said.
would have had a makeup similar
to that Of the earth; nickel-iron
ore, intermediate shell Of stony
metallic material and an outer man.
tie Of rock. The planet probably
was smaller than the earth and
therefore solidiHed earlier. he added.
Bauer estimated that the planet
exploded several hundred million
years ago.

Science to Stare SIS Million
Miles at Mars for Life Signs

extraordinarily of Chicago
scientists are getting ready to take
a look at Mars with a newly devel-
oped electronic device to see if
there's any life on the planet.
The device, called a spectral re-
corder, car analyze matter millions
Of miles out into space. 1t will be
hooked up to Mcdonald observa-
tory's 82-inch rejecting telescope
at Fort Davis, Tex, when Mars
comes within IS million miles Of
earth-the closest until 1850.
The astronomers want to know
if the green patches on Mars are
identical to vegetation growing on
earth and whether polar caps are
composed of frozen moisture.
They said that if there was thriv-
ing plant life on Mars there was a
that animal life existed,
although probably Of a different
evolutionary nature than that on
earth.

Wolves Find Way to Escape
From Circle Of Red Hunters

MOSCOW.-The favorite method
Of hunting wolves in Russia is tc
make a ring Of red flags around
the place where the wolves are
thought to be hiding. A small gap
Is left in the ring and here the
hunters wait to open fire when the
wolves make for the gap.
For hundreds Of years this
method Of hunting has been sue
cessful for the wolves feared to run
through the Gordon Of waving red
flags. But now some educated
wolves in the Moscow area have
learned to run through the flag
ring and thus avoid the hunters.
It il essential to kill the wolves,
says q Moscow paper. because they
prey on elks, Of which there are
nearly 5000 in the Moscow prov
ince forest areas.

Science Answers
Questions About
Moths and FIeas

WASHINGTON.-Does a mott
chewing your best suit sound like /;
person munching corn flakes? Can
swer: yes.)
How far can a flea jump? An
swer: Some farther than others,
Sure, you know all about ura
mum. mesons. neutrons and all tha'
atomic stuff-but how well in
formed are you on some Of the
other frontiers Of science?
A Cornell university scientist
wanted to know what sort Of SOUND
a moth makes while chewing fab
RIGS.
He served a moth larva in a
cloth sack. The larva had to chew
his way out. AS he did so. the
scientist made a monograph rec
ord Of it.
The noise was indeed like a man
eating corn flakes.
Scientists once became interested
in how far a flea can jump. 1t
turned out some fleas can jump
farther than others. Sounds silly,
but out Of the study these scientists
were able to help solve the riddle
of bubonic plague.
Fleas Can Jump.
It showed that fieas can jump
from dead rats to live rats and
man and thus revealed how they
carry and spread the plague. the
Black Death Of the Middle Ages
that killed millions Of people.
These scientists were so curious
they ever counted the number Of
plague germs the flea's stomach
Could hold-5.000. And then they
learned a curious thing.
This plague flea belches. II he is
feeding on a human being, and
belches, he acts as a living hypo-
dermic needle.
A lot of big men are doing a lot
Of little things that next week or 20
years from now may add years to
your life, or make earning a living
easier. COR they may produce a
military weapon more deadly than
the atom bomb.)
Climate and Badness.
English scientists want to know
whether climate, and some other
things have anything to do with
badness in men.
They decided a study of the up
per lips Of women-where fuzz
sometimes grows-might produce
some important facts about the
ability Of people to grow hair.
They're giving the upper lips of
women in Great Britain, Sweden
and some other countries the once
over.
Preliminary findings seem to in
dictate there may be a relationship
between badness and the thick
ness Of the skull, that the thicker
the skull the more hair.
Army scientists are curious about
how the mosquito found G.I.s con-
cealed in foxholes in the deepest
jungles of the South Pacific. They've
decided the odor Of perspiratiop
may attract mosquitoes. but they're
testing other scents. too.

The first in series of planned reports dealing with potentiali- ties of various sections of the territory has just been pub lished by the Bureau of Land Management, it was announced this week.
 The 27-page report deals with agricultural opportunities in the Anchorage area. The Bureau of Land Management found there were 16,314 acres there suitable for general farming and an ad- ditional 19,63O acres adapted to grazing and limited forage crops.
 A large part of this agricultur- ally suitable land is now in- cluded in military reservations and is not now available to set tiers.
 The report ends with the con- clusion that agricultural pro- duction may be expanded great ly in the region before it will equal the demand of the civilian population"

The LetterbOx

When first arrived in Palmer Tn July, was immediately i'm. pressed by the friendliness in the town and the many wonder. ful and kind people here. After SIX months this is still my i'm. pression, only more so, as I meet more and more of the Palmer people.
 l am afraid I never fully ap- preciated all this kindness and thoughtfulness until this sudden tragedy came to my sister Erna and myself. Never in all our lives had we dreamed what friends really can mean in time of need. Neither of us had much money on hand and we were far from home. What you gave us in do- burden so much that we can again face life with a smile.
 There seems so little we can do ln return for this great thing you have done for us. From the depths of our hearts we thank you. We also extend thanks and appreciation from our family. We are only sorry that we are unable to thank you individually, but we know that you will ac- cept this small expression of true gratitude.
 ghis experience will make bet. ter and more understanding nurses of us both, as we will find opportunity to prove to you in the future.
 Sincerely,
 ASta and Erna Skoubo
