tRy Associated PrensD

WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-Sen-
ator Kenneth Wherry, Republi-
can, announced today he will vote
against the rearming program re.
gardlesS of what changes may be
made in the bill by the time il
comes up for consideration in the
senate.
In explaining his position, he
said, he thought. that the time is
inopportume to pass the measure
providing arms for Western Eu-
rope and other countries friendly
to the United States. He added
that he thought that next Janu-
airy would be a good time to con-
slider the adoption of such a
measure.
Opinion today was that the
bill will pass. the senate, though
probably not in the same form as
it came from the house.

Reports Householders
Are Cooperating
Are Cooperating

The city is making check Of
all homes to determine whether
or not the owners have notified
Key West when they made sewer
connections, according to Roy
Butler, director of the Public
Service Department.
The checker for the city is
Charles o. Roberts, who reported
to Service Director Butler today
that in every household he has
entered to make the sewer check
everyone has cooperated with him
100 per cent.
On two streets the check show
ed total of so homes that had
connected with the city sewers
without reporting that they had
had done so. There we're SO in
Fleming street and 40 in Eaton
street, Roberts reports.
The city will bill the 80 homes
and all others that there is no
record at City Hall so cents a
month for the privilege of being
connected with the sewers. This
is total of Sc a year.
Butler hopes to realize enough
money from this source to buy
extra equipment needed by the
sewer department. He said that
such things as compressor is
needed by the department
1t cost the city about $4,000 to
make repairs to the Leon street
sewer which failed recently. This
is another need.

"Terror Bird" Of Long Ago
Restored nv Taxidermista

About 1890 the scientific world
was startled by the report from
Argentina Of the discovery Of fos.
I'll remains Of several enormous
birds.
Some were eight feet in height.
They were obviously carnivorouS
and must have presented a terrify.
ing appearance In life, says Ellen
T. Smith, associate, division Of
birds, Chicago Natural History mu-
scum. The range Of the period In
which members Of this group lived
was estimated at between eight
and 30 million years ago. varying
with different species.
Although the largest Of these
enormous flesh eaters was the
eight-foot Brontornis. the smaller
Mesembriornis was perhaps even
more formidable. Mesembriornis
was only five feet high. but II was
much better equipped as a bird Of
prey than the more cumbersome
Brontornis.
Built for speed, It must have
been a phenomenally fast runner.
probably using its proportionately
small wings to help maintain its
balance. for II was incapable Of
flight. Strong feet and big curved
claws combined with its huge head
and powerful hooked beak to make
II probably the most dangerous
bird ever TO have existed.

Bee Colonies Cut Down
BY Poisonous Chemicals

More and more commercial bee.
keepers are going to leave Cali
tornia unless their heavy losses Of
colonies killed by poisonous chemi-
Gals are cut down sharply.
That's not a scare statement,
IT'S a plain fact" said DR.. J. L.
Eckert, University Of California
college of agriculture apiculturiSt.
Thousands Of colonies already
have been moved to other states 10
escape this chemical hazard"
Some TOO, 900 acres of California
fruits and seed crops depend heavi.
ly on bees for pollination, Eckert
pointed out. Plenty Of bees, provid.
ed by commercial beekeepers, in
crease the yields markedly.
However. about $4,000 colonies
valued at over $500, 900 are killed
each year by poison insecticides,
he estimated. There are about 49,
900 colonies in California.
"Beekeepers recognize the neces-
Sity Of using chemicals to control
crop pests, weeds, and plant dis
cases." Eckert explained. But
they want them applied TO give
the most protection to bees and
beneficial insects.
Zone solution would be to confine
all chemicals to the crops treated"
he proposed. Improved efficiency
of application, better timing to kill
more pests and less bees, and use
OF chemicals least toxic to bees
would all cut down the hazards Of
chemical noisOninp 70 bees"
