Better Than Cheese

University of Vermont scien-
lists say more mice can be caught
with gum drops than with
cheese.
In their annual battle to keep
field mice from establishing win
ter quarters in Science Hall,
professors used gum drops in
ordinary traps. When the mouse
attempts to nibble the candy it
sticks to his teeth and the slight
est movement sets off the trap.
Professors reported II mice
killed in one hour on one gum
drop.

Cancer Research

Atomic scientists at the Argonne
National Laboratory near Chicago
have perfected chemical. treatment
for protecting rats and mice against
death from exposure to more than
double the amount of radiation that
would be lethal to human being.
DIR. Harvey M. Patt, associate
,physiologist, reported rats and mice
given a single dose of cysteine re-
mained unaffected after subjection Of
$500 units of x-Ray emanations.
While medical experts differ on
what constitutes the precise radiation
hazard limit in humans, the con-
sensus is that total exposure OF
more than $50 units of radiation will
cause death in man.
Cysteine is an Inexpensive, sulphur
bearing substance that can be arti-
ficially produced in laboratories. 1t IS
one of the body's essential building
blocks called amino acids and usually
is prepared from a related cystine.
obtained from horse hair or wool.
Experiments are now being carried
on on the effect of cysteine on cancer
in higher animals, including dogs.
DR.. Patt said if the chemical can
make normal human tissue resistant
to radiation without altering the
sensitivity of malignant growths, it
may be possible to increase tremen-
dously the radiation dosage now adj
ministered to kill tumors in humans.

HorwelI Parley

Atomic scientists of the A-B-C
powers (America, Britain and Can
ada) met behind closed doors at Har-
we'll, England, last week. Harwell is
the site of Britain's atomic labora-
tory, run by the Ministry of Supply.
The experts convened under terms
of an agreement of January, 1948, for
the three nations to exchange limited
scientific and technical information.
The six-day conference was to discuss
hazards of atomic piles and the best
known safety measures to keep them
under control.
Although no agenda was revealed,
it is known that they discussed radio
active wastes, effects of radiation on
plants, animals and human beings.
and the risks of having pile blow
up because of sabotage.
An atomic pile is controlled mass
of uranium or plutonium large enough
to set up the chain reaction of atomic
energy.

DAYTON Should Revise
Its Ambulance Service

and the other two were answering
a county call for two ambulances
at the scene of another accident.
There have been several 9TH
err instances of long waits, one was
an elderly man who was struck
by a car near Conover st. He
had to suffer for almost an hour.
Another victim of a shooting at
Germantown and Summit st. had
a long wait for an ambulance.
This is a situation which the
citizens should take to the city
commission. Better protection
should be accorded the citizens of
Dayton. With the many ambu-
lances in the city, there is no
shadow Of right or reason in the
spectacle OF a person lying n the
street near death, perhaps, for a
protracted period. The commits
sion should be petitioned to do
something about this situation.
Meanwhile, we should keep at
tuned to the city commission cam
paign which will open soon so
that we can get a commission
composed of members who will
respond to the needs of the people
and not the needs of the factory
owners.

A very undesirable situation
which has been discussed more or
less privately for the past few
years came out into the open this
weekend. 1t is the city and county
contract with one ambulance serv-
ice, Hoyne's. All accidents oc-
curing in the city or county which
require ambulance service a be
handled only by Hoyne's.
If, as has happened only too Of
ten, all Of Hoyne's four ambu-
lances are unavailable, then VIC
TINS of accidents have to wait un-
til one becomes available. A
thousand other ambulances can
pass by the suffering victim, but
none can touch him. He must
suffer until Hoyne's can arrive.
In the accident at Ludlow and
Fifth ST., Friday night, Paul
Thomas, 20, 925 Gafsa Place, had
to lie in the street for rs minutes
before he was taken to the Mi
ami Valley Hospital. For rs min
utes he lay there with facial lac
erations and possible back and
chest injuries.

Olympia is a bad bet as a short

a super-terrific horse. Though
he is game, good and sound.

Home Bombed Sunday

Special to the Daily EXPRESS
April 18,-Residents of Xenia
were awakened. early Sunday
morning when an attempt on the
life of Earl Arts, prominent bus
inessman was made by a bomb
being placed or thrown on the
front porch of his home at 1928 E.
Market st. In an exclusive to
the Daily EXPRESS, Arts gave
the reason as ga disgruntal en-
ployee, being peeved over being
discharged a a janitor, may have
been the ~culprit." AS for the
story in the Journal-Herald re-
garding the bombing being out OF
town racketeers is untrue. The
bomb was a home made weapon
and did little damage amounting
to $3.50. Home at the time of
the bombing were Arts, his wife
and son and a neighboring boy.
All escaped injury. Damage to
the home included the tearing
away of a portion of the front
porch, SCATTERING all the windows
in the front of the house and also
the SCATTERING of several windows
in the home nearby. Arts told

fear nor had he received any

Police Report
 July Busiest Month In Year

The Seward Police Department turned in it's monthly report on Aug. l, with a record of 30 arrests and 10 traffic violations for the busiest month in over a year. The total of fines collected was S462 90
 A breakdown shows that there were Is arrests for drunkenness, three for drunk and disorderly con- duct, three for drunkenness and indecent exposure, one for grand larceny Qater reduced to nlisde- meanor), four arrests for investi- gation one for possession of mar cotics and two sleepers.
 Of the traffic violations, three were for parking in restricted zones, one for not having a city drivers license, five for speeding, and one for not having a Territorial license.
 Routine Police Work
 A typical report shows that po- lice also perform such small tasks as finding lost bicycles. checking auto accidents, keeping an eye on the children around buildings un- der construction, and a man who wants to be locked up until he becomes sober.
 Police watch trains and boats, Investigating activities of arrivals known to have records, and watch ing for people wanted in other towns. Sometimes they're called to break up fight, but no one will sign a complaint for arrest.
 They took injured persons to doctors, and sick dogs to the pound master to be shot; checked reports of Peeping Toms. broken power lines, stolen dogs, and answered all fire calls.
 Since the council cut the police force down to two officers. each of them is on a 12-hour shift, seven days a week. They have no days off. :-.
 Chief Leonard J. Clark was off duty for four days in July, due to illness. and was under a doctor s care. When the council approved the July payroll. the four days pay was deducted from his salary. The insurance which the city carries on employees covers only accidents. Clark was given the alternative of taking the four days from his an nual leave. -.s

 The December season on caribou south of the Alaska Range was eliminated, as was the December moose season on Kenai Peninsula. The Southeastern Alaska deer sea son was shortened 10 September to November :, with limit of two to a resident and one to non- resident
 In most of the rest of Alaska the deer season will be Sept. 10 to Oct. 10, with a one-deer limit. Mountain goats may be hunted be- tween Aug. 20 and Nov. l5, except in closed areas, with limit of two to a resident and one to a nonresident.
 The caribou season south of the Alaska Range is Sept. l to 20. In most other sections a one-limit season is open from December l to 10. Moose season in most of Southeastern Alaska is Sept. l to 20, and on the Stikine and Unuk Rivers and most of the Kenai Sept. 15 to Oct. 14.

N. Stevedorinq Wins Local
 Dock Contract

Col. J. P. Johnson announced last week that Secretary of Inter- for krug approved the award of a stevedoring contract to the North ern Stevedoring and Handling Cor popration to handle Alaska Rail- road cargo at Seward.
 The contract goes into effect Sept. l and will provide better freight and handling service and greater efficiency, the Railroad be- iieves.
 Northern Stevedoring also held the old contract. New bids were sought July l to obtain a better method of handling cargo. Under terms of the new agreement, the firm will take care Of cn-shore handling of all cargo for move ment over the Railroad and also shore-side handling of freight for Seward
 The Railroad will pay for the cargo handling on a tonnage basis. Formerly, payment was on an hourly basis. Under the new ar engagement, the ARR will have key to the cost per ton of all types Of freight. The new system will doubtless result in more efficient and sWifter handling of cargo, the Railroad is convinced.
 
 There will be no effect on long shoremens pay. This pay scale is handled by the contracting firm itself, the Railroad said.
