The Sealed Scorpion Breaking yp an old cement block in Dallas, Texas, the other day, a, workman was surprised to find a scorpion. Some of the cement, which was poured in 1915, stuck to its head. The workman put the bleached white, in the sunshine. Not long after, it had e gained normal coloring and was quite lively. Thus is added another to the horned toads and scorpions living sealed up for years. Just how life can go on without air one seems to know. But there When we talk about life, we human beings live. Deprive water for a few days, food for year or two, .and they die. humanity that it is hard to realize that some forms of life may -not need air, water, food or What we know about toads, frogs and scorpions, lends some color to the theory that life for animals, including human beings, may perhaps be easy to dismiss such a theory it is worth looking into. A good many theories almost all of them, in fact have been airily dismissed by grave think ers, only to be found later to be true. Warning To Motorists Texas courts have held that a motorist who is blinded by the headlights of an approaching car while driving at night, and who hits something of negligence. The case which produced this rulingarose after a motorist, mo-torist, traveling at 35 miles an hour, crashed into a parked 4;ruck which he was unable to see because approaching headlights head-lights had blinded him. He was killed. Hhis heirs sued the truck's owner, and the defendant replied that the dead driver had failed to exercise proper care. This contention the court upheld, and its ruling is worth nothing. A driver, it held, must anticipate the presence pres-ence of objects in his, path. If a headlight blinds him, it's up to him to slow down or stop until he regains his vision. If he doesn't do so, and hits something, it is his fault. The ruling is a timely warning to all motorists. Let 'Em Have It With all the delicate coyness of a steam-shovel, Europe keeps hinting that, in the sniff ishness now under way between be-tween Battling Benito and the Riproaring Lion of Judah, it rvould appreciate the United States' moral support. Heck! Let's give our moral support. To which side? Oh, either it doesn't matter much. Moral support is one of the best things on earth. It costs nothing to give and is worth all it costs. "I am sorry," you tell the solicitor, "I cannot subscribe mere money to your fund for relieving destitute oysters but you certainly have moral support." This brightens up the solicitor no end until he gets back to the office and is bluntly told by stern, practical men that a ton of moral support won't assay enough to feed a clam, let alonev an oyster. There are cynics who say that if Mussolini got our moral support he would merely sneer,; or if Haile Selassie got it, he j would try to trade it off for a used camel, l hat's how mucn it's really worth but the Le'ague of Nations, or rraybe it's the League of Notions seems to value it very highly.

Bright Moments In Great Live Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson John-son had just agreed to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world. Jeffries, the champion, cham-pion, met his negro opponent in the old Albany hotel in New York to sign articles for the fight. Back in 1909 there were not many air conditioning systems sys-tems of any kind, and the room in which the ceremony of signing sign-ing for the fight was to be held was jammed with (newspapermen (news-papermen and sporting men, and the air was heavy with flashlight flash-light powder smoke and cigar smoke. ' When it came time to sign someone said: "Let's wait for the smoke to clear out." "Lordy," Jack Johnson piped up, "Do I have to clear out be- fore I sign. " BY WILLIAMS j Howdy, folks!

SCIENCE Herbert Strong, New York color engineer, has invented a lamp which sends out an invisible invis-ible beam of ultra-violet light. This new light will be used by Dr. William Beebe, deep sea explorer, ex-plorer, on his next trip into the inky depths a half mile under the surface of the ocean. Strong uses his light to locate lo-cate ore in tungsten mines. The metal glows brilliantly when exposed to ultra-violet rays. He believes the inky blackness below be-low the half-mile level of the sea can be illuminated by this light so that fish and other deep-sea life will stand out more clearly.

If the kindly-eyed kindly-eyed physician, who has become almost a divine leader to California's Cali-fornia's retired citizens, suddenly should throw his weight behind the Republicans, the New Deal probably would be finished in this vital political arena.
