NEW YORK, Nov. 81 (AP).-
Philadelphia's Wilt Chamber

ical scoring pace with a 47.9
average, has made a shambles
of the National Basketball AS
sociation's scoring race after

1872 points with more than
three quarters of the season
remaining. The Warriors Z

Baylor is scheduled to report
for active military service after

the most vital element in the

Although there are many
variations in design and price,
most boots have been stand
ardized into the so-called
double-boot design. An inner
boot, made of soft, pliable
leather, and usually aided by
various types of padding, fits
snugly and comfortably about
the foot.
The outer boot, braced and
fitted for maximum strength,
then is laced tightly over the
inner boot, and the complete

day. Prices range from the up

Good boots are available in the
local ski shops and department
stores, but by all means should
be fitted by someone who
knows skiing and its require
ments.
Ski clothing should keep the
heat in, and the cold out. Since
this seems to be the funda-

the specific requirements de-
manded by the sport.
Ski clothing should offer
warmth without weight, and

SCIENTISTS CUNNING FOR 1T
enegode Plant Killing Food of Waterfowl
By CHARLES COVELL
outdoor Editor

The other day Vernon Stotts
Of the Maryland Game Com
mission asked hunters to save
the gizzards and outlets of
ducks and geese shot in cer-
tain counties and send them
to him.
Why? Because a feathery
wisp Of a plant can explode in
to such dense beds that it
crowds out the vegetation on
which waterfowl normally feed
wild celery, redhead grass,
sago pond weed and widgeon
grass.
Although the tendrils of this
renegade plant are known to
provide some food for cootS,
widgeon and probably gadwall.
its value to other waterfowl is
considered negligible because it
produces few seeds.
Just how negligible Is the OBJ
ject Of Stotts' research in CO.
operation with biologists Of the
Maryland Natural Resources In
stitute at Solomons? They
would like to know Just how
much the waterfowl are feeding
on the plant and in possible
later studies, its nutritional
value.
How About Ducks Flavor?
An interesting Sidelight
would be to determine whether
the plant affects the flavor of
its patrons. Perhaps it might
do to them what sea lettuce
did to the brant when they
were forced to turn to it by
the shortage Of eel grass.
What is this mysterious
plant? 1t is the Eurasian wat
er milfoil, an import from Eu-
rope or Asia and so common
in home aquariums that you
can get it in a dime store with
a dollars worth Of goldfish.
Very likely it got its start as
a castoff from someone's aquar-
iuIn.
If you are a boatman, wa
terman or fisherman, no doubt
you have seen it. 1t was orig
inally found in 1888 in Dogue
Greek, off the Potomac in near
by Virginia.
Spread Slowly at First
For several years the plant
spread slowly in shallow waters
up and down the Potomac and
by 1945 to the Gao Canal.
In 1854 it was recorded in the
Gunpowder River near the head
of the Chesapeake and during
the last four years its growth
has been so alarming that State
and Federal scientists have
banded together to do same
thing about it.
When it reaches a new area,
the plant spreads rapidly the
first two years and by the third
year, completely takes over.
John H. Steenis Of Fish and I
Wildlife's Patuxent Wildlife
Center, a leader in the re-
search, estimated this week that
more than $4,000 acres are now
affected.
These include the waters Of
the Potomac and its tributaries
as far down as Piney Point.
Dense beds grow in Nanjemoy,
Picowaxen and st. Patrick'S
Creeks, in the Port Tobacco
and Wicomico Rivers and in
Neale and st. Catherine Sounds.

ia is heavily invaded.

the only current method of
curbing the renegade plant is
to clear it out with underwater
weed cutters.
But, if you go cunning for
water milfoil instead of water
fowl this fall, remember this:
The plant spreads by frag-
mentation. That is, a free
floating stem can root elsewhere
and form a brand new colony.
Thus be sure you capture

Jay, long recognized as the
dean Of American ski photog-

third time under the sponsor
ship Of the Ski Club of Wash

Two sellout audiences in the
last two years enthusiastically
received jays prior films,

pic Holiday" These two fea-
ture-length color films were
personally presented and mar
rated by Jay. AS a commenta-

Jay has no peer in the world
Of skiing. His dry Yankee wit
and humor remind one some

and add a delightful touch to
some Of the most magnificent

nancing American ski teams
through the International SKI
Competition Fund. They will
help to meet the many travel
and training expenses neces-
sary If the skiers are to meet
and compete with the worlds
best on their own grounds.
Many European ski teams are

career, Will Rogers worked
for a circus, where, among
other things, he did a trick
riding act. His most Spec
tacular stunt was to pick up
a handkerchief from the
ground, while pushing his
horse at a full gallop. This
was always good for q big
hand from the crowd. j
One day, when the circus
was appearing in q small
town, Rogers did his act, as
usual. As he was leading his
horse back to its stall, q man
stopped him.
"The Mayor asked me to
talk to you," said the latter.
HE liked your handkerchief

do it again"
Sure, I'll do 1t again."

Chiefs way-out brother, The
Prophet. When they ap-
preached the Indian village,
on the banks of the Wabash,
the forlorn little braves were
caught with their teepees
down and they fled Shrek
ing.
Harrison and his men
could have cought them on
the wing. But no, the stupid
savages sent a chief out to
pow-wow. There was a lot
Of pow in this particular
WOW. The chief begged Har-
rison not to start a mas
sacre. Put your men in camp
for the night, he begged,
and we will send a peace
mission in the morning.
So Harrison, who could
not be hanged for INTEL
ligence, said okay, bud.
Where is a good place to
camp? The Indian thought
this over and named a tract
of high land about three
quarters of q mile north
west of the village. The
soldiers camped, set up their
tents, and slept.
Oh, you know2 Well, Har-
rison didn't. At 4 am. the
Miami Indians attacked at
Tippecanoe and a lot Of
sleepy Americans bit the
dust. Harrison never saw
that many Indians in a bar
rel full Of nickels. They had
guns too. None of this
quaint bow and arrow stuff.
They popped soldiers off un-
til they tired of it and fled.
We celebrated this as a
victory and made a hero of
Harrison. In August, 1912,
American soldiers and their
wives and children left Fort
Dearborn with 27 friendly
Miami Indians and were
ambushed a mile and a half
from the fort. This time the
fun-loving redskins toma-
hawked women and children,
stripped the bodies, and de-
capitated them on a river
bank.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I read

PONCE DE LEON made a

have Quenched his thirst but
did nothing to stay the rush
of oncoming years.
Life is sweet, especially
when it can be lived in youth
full vigor. Everybody would
like to find a simple remedy
to keep them young longer.
I think the drug you refer
to, Mrs. H., is procaine. Re-
ports about the medicine was
supposed to be good for loss
Of hearing and vision. white
hair, impotence, eczema, ar
teriosclerosis, Parkinson's di-
sease. arthritis, high blood
pressure, ulcer and asthma.
However, like the fountain
Of youth, this treatment
turned out to be q mirage.
Always be wary of any medi-
cine that promises to heal so
many diseases.
The British Medical Jour-
nal sums it up well: "A study
Of the clinical reports makes
sad reading for the clinieian
trained in modern scientific
method. There is no real
evidence that procaine is any

The Indians won a few.
1t has become fashionable
to picture the redskin as a
savage with a word of
honor, always ready to
smoke the pipe OF. peace with
his white brethren, and al
ways getting the stem
knocked down his throat.
This isn't quite so.
WHITE SETTLERS be-
trayed the Indians, and so did
the Great White Father in
Washington. The Indians
were pretty good at the same
game. They tore treaties
when it pleased the m,
changed sides in the middle
Of wars, fought each other
in tribal wars, sometimes
lived in lice and pestilence,
and, as sport, ambushed the
white man.
At Little Big Horn, they
not only massacred the 7th
Cavalry, the renegade In
dians also scalped the dead
to the last man. The only
noble thing about it oc-
CURED after the battle. They
admired Gen. Custer, so
they propped the body of
Golden Hair UP, among his
own dead, on his knees.
In the movies, Indians say
ugh" and How" but most
Of the tribes spoke articulate
dialects and, around the
council mat, they could talk
the feathers off each other.
Some Indians became so
chicken in the inter-tribal
wars that they went South
to join the Seminoles in
Florida. They were in no
hurry to get to the Happy
Hunting Ground.
The SeminoIes are the
only group left who have
not concluded a treaty of
peace with Washington. Tech
nically, they are still at
war with the United States.
When William Henry Har-
riSon was Governor of In
