Going Grabbing
Prize Contribution
BY CoroI Hesse, IA

Going grabbing is a lot Of fun.
Last summer my family tried this
sport and we found it very en-
joyable.
We situated ourselves on q
grabbing pier for a day. Our
chief equipment consisted of a
few pieces of spoiled meat for
bait, some fishing. lines. a big
grabbing net and a bushel basket.
At the end of the day we were
the proud owners of Al lively
crabs. The process for catching
them is simple, but fun. Slowly
pull up your line when you feel
a sharp tug, then make a quick
swoop with the net when he
reaches the surface. and he is well
on the way to becoming a crab
cake.
A word to the wise: Watch
YOUR fingers.

chamois or viscose sponge. While
drying. great care must be taken
to prevent dust particles from
coming into contact with the
slide since each particle that ad-
heres to the surface will be great
ly magnifled on the screen.
Monochrome slides, like other
Photographic prints, can be toned,
dyed, or colored by hand with
water colors. This may serve as
the needed change of pace for
your collection of slide pictures.
However, discretion should be ex-
sercised in selecting colors for your
subjects. Spring and summer
landscape will be much improved
through the use of a green toner
Seascapes, other water scenes,
snow. and similar pictures will be
improved with blue. Autumn
scenery, portraits, fire scenes and
others of a like nature should be
toned with sepia or a reddish
toner as the case may be.
Toning is carried out in the
same way as is done with prints.
One method is by direct develop
ment with a prepared developer
such as Kodak D-32. The more
common toning procedure is by
replacement Of the silver image
after bleach, with metals of an
other color. This is done after
the slide has previously been de-
veloped and fixed. Another way
that toning may be accomplished
after development and fixation is
by dyeing the emulsion with
transparent water colors. Con-
troll of the amount of color is had
by limiting the stay of the slide
in the dye solution. If you have
a large collection of black and
white slides it might pay you to
go through them and pick out the
ones that you feel would be i'm
proved by toning one color or
another.

The seventh round of the Dis

which was spread out over two
week ends because of the Me-
mortal Day holiday, saw the de-
Tending champion, Hans Berliner
take clear. lead for the first time
He brought his score to 6-1 by de-
feating Edmund Nash in an ex-
tremely interesting game, the
score of which appears below as
our fifth entry for the Hughes
prize. Nash with white attacked
vigorously. but was met with in
genious counterplay in the center
which nullifled his offensive and
eventually transferred 1t to his
opponent.
Martin C. Stark dropped to
second place by giving up a half
point in an evenly contested game
with George s. Thomas. which
simmered down to prospectless
ending with rocks and bishops of
opposite colors. This left Stark
with 5E2-112. while Thomas, with

colors several colors can be used
on given slide. One of the large
film companies puts out booklet
of II standard colorS together
with a special brush for this work.
However, we should warn you that
it is an extremely difficult feat to
attempt to apply water colors to
the small 2x2 slides. Details are
infinitely small and you will be
better off with toning the 2x2s.
Larger sizes are fairly easy to
work on with a brush and beauti-
full results can be obtained with a
little care.
Whether you have a large or
small slide collection it should be
carefully filed and documented.
Wood or metal slide file boxes are
available at all dealers in several
sizes. They should be utilized to
keep your slides in an orderly col
lection and readily accessible
whenever needed. A good filing
system will save you many min
utes of fruitless search and is in
dispensible when collection runs
into the hundreds.
In our humid climate extra care
should be taken to prevent con-
densation in the glass bound
slides. The slide boxes should be
stored in alright containers con-
tanning silica gel that will absorb
any moisture that does get in.
To make thinks easy we sug-
gest that you have separate file
boxes for different types of sub
ject matter. Then you don't have
to paw through hundreds of
slides to find the particular group
that you are after. Slides should
be numbered consecutively and
should have corresponding file
cards containing an accurate cap
ton that tells all of the pertinent
details. including names, dates,
places. subject Identification, etc.
Next we will devote attention
to slide projection methods,

Ancient Stone Head
Prize Contribution
By Carol Wrobel, II
Brooklond School

About four years ago some
scientists discovered a huge stone
head in the jungles of veracruz.
Mexico. 1t is the largest Of Its
kind ever found.
The head is 8 feet long and 8
feet wide. This figure Is be-
lieved to have been carved by
people of Southern Mexico about
1900 years ago.
The scientists wanted to bring
this, head to America but because
of it's size and weight 1t has never
been brought here. However. q
plaster cast of the head was made
and shipped to the Museum OF
Natural History in New York
City. The cast is now on display

Shark Family Is Noted
For Dangerous Teeth,
Strange Eoting Habits
BY Romon Coffmon

Wy N0IUOu SOtBH0H
Sharks sometimes are captured
with the help Of big hooks. One
day a tiger shark was taken ir
this way off the coast of North
Carolina. That shark was 1917
feet long.
Some tiger sharks are much
longer, but a strange thing hap.
pened while this one was being
hauled up. Another shark at
tackled 1t and took huge bite!
Soon afterward a second tiger
shark was hooked and was found
to be IL feet long. When it was
cut open, a big chunk of shark
flesh was observed in its stomach
A careful test showed that this
chunk would f1t into the place
where the other shark had suf-
fered loss. The piece which
had been bitten out weighed close
to 40 pounds!
That incident points out two
important facts about sharks
They may swallow their food with
little, If any. chewing and many
Of them have large. powerful jaws,
armed with strong teeth.
Notice that I say many of
them" have large teeth. Some
sharks have little teeth. including
the whale sharks. Among those
with strong. sharp teeth tbesides
tiger sharks are blue sharks,
white sharks and hammerheads,
The rays are close relatives Of
sharks, and they have teeth which
are well fitted for grinding food.
The rays often eat shellfish, in
cluding oysters and CLAIMS. and
they employ their thick teeth to
crush the shells to bits.

Just Between
Ourselves
BY Philip n. Love


Gale Ais. Bob Struck and Ned
Spangler.
Although the use Of homing
pigeons for the carrying Of mes
sages is of ancient origin. the sport
of racing them did not develop
until modern times. The firSt
long distance race was held in
Belgium in 1918. the birds flying
100 miles. In 1920 there was a
race from Paris to Liege. and in
1923 there was one from London
to Belgium. A race of about 500
miles, from Toulouse to Brussels.
was started as an annual event
| in 1881. Great Britain began
racing pigeons regularly that same
year.
Pigeon racing began in this
country about 1878. but matches
were not held regularly until about
three years later. Since then, the
sport has been increasing in popu-
larity nearly every year.
The training of pigeon should
begin in warm weather. when the
bird is about 4 months old, He
is taken out In a wicker basket
and turned loose. or tossed" at
gradually increasing distances
from home. Allowing for several
days rest between flights, he
should be able to fly about 100
miles by the end of the first sea-
son.
How fast a pigeon can fiy de-
pends upon atmospheric condi-
tions. I'm the race from Montar-
gis to Brussels in 1876 in bright
and clear weather" says the En-
cyclopaedia' Britannica. AL the
prize winners made the distance
of 270 miles within 34 hours.
while in the same race in 1877. on
thick and stormy day, 80 hours
passed before the first bird ar
rived"
AS to how pigeon finds his
way home. Prof. Henry L. Yeagley
of PENNSYLVANIA State College ex-
plains. according to the World
Almanac. that the bird us
equipped with an enormously SEN
sitive navigation device that can
determine minute differences In
the earth's magnetic field and the
rate of the earth's surface turning
under him. When the pigeon Is
loosed away from home" the pro-
fessor continues. he simply flies
along the invisible beam of these
subtle forces until he arrives at
the familiar vibrations Of his home
loft"
Gale has been raising pigeons
about seven year and now has so.
not counting the babies" less
than a year old. One Of his birds
finished second in a 300-mile race
last year. And two years ago, an
other of his pigeons won a 800
mile match.
Bob became a pigeon fancier
about five years ago. Last year.
his entry captured the first prize
of $70.50 in a 150-mile race from
Lynchburg. Va. to Washington.
OF Ned's interest in the sport.
the Eastern High School student
newspaper, the Fastener. says:
Capturing a pigeon eight years
ago for fun was the downfall OF
Ned, just like spring fever. Three
wins out of seven tries for his
youngsters last year and a total
of % diplomas are the array Ned
boasts"
Still another fastener who
raises pigeons--but for exhibition
purposes, not racing-is Warren
beavers. He began about five
years ago by buying bird from
Gale for so cents. Now he has 20
pigeons. including two that are
so pink they probably ought to be
brought to the attention Of Sem
ator Mccarthy.

Undefeated viIIanoya
Smears Louisville;
Penn Five Victor
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. is.
Sparked by sophomore forward
Larry Hennessey. Villanova's un-
defeated five knocked the Cniver-
sity of Louisville from the ranks
of the unbeaten tonight with a
79 to 50 victory in the nightcap
of a Palestra doubleheader before
BATS.
The Louisville Cardinals had
run up five straight before to-
night. while Villanova now has
five in a row.
Tallying 20 points. Hennessey
made good on IA of 26 shots from
the floor and dropped one Of
three from the foul line.
The game was tied at eight, 10
and 10 points in the first ten min
utes, but Villanova took the lead
once and for all at the ten-minute
mark, 21-19. BY halftime the win
ners had a decisive 47-34 spread
But the Cardinals rallied to cut
the Villanova lead to 1854 with
three minutes remaining in the
game.
Louisville was led by Bob Loch-
mueller and Dick Robinson who
split 80 points evenly between
them. Bob Brown mad a for the
Cardinals.
Aiding Hennessey were Tim
Mooney and Nick Mcguire with
Is and IA. respectively.
Last year, Louisville came out on
top by the same 10-point p,argin
credited to Villanova tonight.
Penn's unbeaten team Won its
fifth straight, routing Muhlenberg
92-52, in the first game OF tonight's
doubleheader.
Penn's winning total set two new
floor records. The old Penn Pa
lestra standard of IS points and
the one-team total of 80 set only
last week by Villanova were
topped.
