CoIors
Now the Nose Knows

PHILADELPHIA.-Two Yale
university scientists proved to a
distinguished gathering that the
lowly cockroach can smell col
ors, and can smell black in par
ticular. Maybe. they think hu-
mans can, too.
Using several large reaches,
q cage, and aluminium checker
board, and some lampblack, DR..
Walter Miles and Lloyd Beck
demonstrated the theory that
colors affect the sense Of smell
through sudden heat loss in the
smell organs.
The checkerboard was laid out
in alternate squares Of implanted
aluminium and lampblack, which
had no smell, and the reaches
were placed on the floor Of the
cage, half an inch above the
checkerboard. The cage was
especially equipped to conduct
heat.
The lights were turned out,
and when the test was over the
reaches were directly over the
black notwithstanding squares.
The scientists explained that the
reaches were drawn over the
black squares because Of heat
flowing from the smell organs
to the lampblack.
The aluminium, they said,
threw back heat, and caused no
heat loss to the sense Of smell
Of the reaches. Because of nose
heat loss, Miles said, they
smelled the black squares.
The experiment was per-
formed at a meeting Of the
American Philosophical society.

Russians Claim
Capture Of First
Baby Whale

MOSCOW.-The crew Of the Rus
sian whaling ship Slava reported
from Odessa that they made the
first catch on record Of a live
baby sperm whale during a hunt
in the Antarctic.
Unfortunately, the crew men,
bers said, they had no proof since
the ships biologist ordered the
whale set free because he required
more than a ton of condensed milk
daily to stay alive. The crews re-
port said:
The whale, which was as long as
a Moscow ~trolleybus, at first re-
sisted all attempts by the huskiest
members of the crew to catch it.
Finally, with the aid of a winch
and rope, the whale was brought
under control. When an extra
heavy rope broke when they tried
to pull the baby whale aboard it
was decided to tow it back to
Odessa alive. But the ships BIZ
ologist ordered the whales liberia
ton because it required daily more
than a ton Of condensed milk.
Difficult Problem
Catching a baby whale is more
or less like taking a lingering
trout, in that it violates sound con-
~servation practices, DR.. Harold
Anthony, chairman Of the Depart
ment of Mammals Of the New York
Museum Of Natural History, said.
Declaring that the capture. of a
whale calf is also extremely diff
cult, he suggested that the baby
caught by the Russian whalers had
probably been turned loose on that
account. The young whale could
not have been kept alive in any
event, DR.. Anthony said. Even had
the Russian factory ship been pre-
pared to furnish the estimated ton
of condensed milk a day, and to de-
wise a formula and to induce the
infant cetacean to take it, the baby
would have suffered most probably
from overlooking, he indicated.
Explaining that there are gaps
in scientific knowledge Of whales, |
because their submarine habits
make observation difficult, he said:
"a young whale would require
several hundred pounds Of milk a
day, but I doubt that it would re-
Quire a ton"
Has Collection
The Museum Of Natural History
has a collection Of young whale
including a cast Of an
infant sperm whale that found its
way into the Gowanus canal in
Brooklyn about is years ago, pre-
sumably by following a ship after
separated from its moth
er. Whaling literature lists calves
40 to so feet in length found follow
ing their mothers and presumably
on milk.
The conservation of whales, made
necessary by the great efficiency
Of modern methods Of killing them,
the subject Of an international
convention signed at London in 1887
and revised in 1888. This agree
nent provides for an observer on
ships to see that the con-
'ervation provisions, including non-
Of calves and their
mothers, are carried out.
Russian ships. however, are pre-
;umably not bound by the conven-
ion, since the Soviet Union is listed
among the nations that abstained
rom signing In 1888.

In the year of nineteen hundred

rine superintendent of the
Churches of God in Maryland) was
asked by Alva (Mike) Donovan to
conduct services over his store
building. The services began and
for a number of weeks continued
with some success. A few were con-
verted and filled with the Spirit of
God. At the close of these services
a building was purchased as a per-
manent location for worship and
the church set in order. Thus be-
gan what is now known as the
Church of God in Milford, the lOca-
ton of which is at the corner of
North Washington and Second
streets.
In 1885 the Rev. L. M. Justice OF
Crisfield, Md, was installed as the
