They are able to play a tune on a piano, play table tennis, tell time, press push buttons and understand changing colors like traffic lights. The piano players can, rattle off such simple tunes as "Over the Fence Is Out, Boys, and "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." And all the brains are not In the heads of the fancy homing varieties. The common park pigeon is just as smart r B. F. Skinner, professor of psychology at Harvard, has drawn these conclusions after a series of experiments. The tests are designed to determine whether a child can be trained more effectively by encouraging good behavior or punishing bad actions. How do youi do It with- - pigeons? The professor explains that pigeons are ideal subjects because they have a reaction time comparable to humans. - They are paid off with food if their responses to various tests bring the desired results. The modified table tennis without nets is played on a table two feet square. One pigeon, using its beak, tries to bat the ball past its opponent. Rallies sometimes run to three or four shots though most are "aces. Each successful shot brings a reward of food. In another experiment, the birds are placed on either side of a glass partition. A panel has three buttons on either side of the glass. To receive food, both pigeons must strike certain matching simultaneously buttons in the separated cages. When they turn the trick, food pops out. Other birds have learned to peck signs' Jabeled "yellow," "green," "blue, and "red always picking the proper sign when V light of the same, color is flashed on. That also brings a reward of grain.

Randolph Rollins, of Northwestern university, have announced that the most stubborn cases of asthma are yielding to ACTH, the wonder-workin- g hormone. The doctors reported the wheezing patients, so severely afflicted they are unable to walk, to talk In complete sentences, or to walk up a flight of stairs, are finding complete or partial relief. The doctors report ACTH will be used in the tough, advanced cases those for which the cause remains hidden. The scientists told of treating 10 asthmatics and three hay feverites falling into that category. One, a man, had asthma so severely he once fasted for 21 days to get relief. He had raundergone surgery. dium and other forms of treat-- 1 ment with no success. Twenty-fou- r hours after starting on ACTH he had complete relief. After being taken off ACTH he had recurrences, but each succeeding treatment was successful. Protection after usin ACTH is not permanent It must be re-j peated at intervals of a few weeks.
