Show Poultry Specialist Reports Provisions At National Meeting Fingernails painted a bright red are suggested by Dr. Edward H. Norton as a cure for little girls who suck their thumbs. He told the Massachusetts Dental society that feminine vanity of when they were the children-ev- en only three or four years old was aroused by colorful nails. Declaring the experiment was tried on his granddaughter, he said "the child was delighted and not once since has she put her finger in her mouth." BOSTON. Among changes made In the National Poultry Improvement Plan at the national convention held in Chicago, June 17 to 20 inclusive, were two governing pullorum control and dealer participation in the plan, Carl extension poultryman at Utah State Agricultural college, reported upon returning from the convention. Added to the three existing under pullorum classifications the program is a class now known as "U.S. Pullorum controlled". This classification provides a control class with a tolerance of less than two percent. Under the plan as now set up pullorum classifications are: Pullorum Cleaned; Pullorum Passed; Pullorum Controlled; Pullorum Male Is Student With 350 Young Women Lone ASHEVILLE, N. C Coleman Patterson, only male student among 3.00 young women at Ashe-villcollege, says he finds college life rather interesting. "It took courage to go alone iiito a group of 330 girls," he said. "But the girls helped by being consoling and after a while the worst was over." e Remember 1 j Tested. In addition to this stiffening of requirements for pullorum control under the program, delegates voted to reduce the tolerance percentage under Pullorum Tested class one per cent each year for the next five years. Dealer participation, the other important change effected, provides that firms dispensing chicks should be admitted to the plan on the same basis as hatcheries with the approval of state officials.

The blind avoid obstacles through the sense of hearing, according to the psychologists. It is believed that the discovery will not only bring hope and confidence to the newly blind, but also will provide techniques for those who have been blind for many years and enable them to obtain a freedam of movement now denied them. The Cornell findings are said by the scientists to have Implications also for persons moving about during blackouts, which already have resulted In many accidents in England. As a result of the new findings, those blinded by accidents, or by war, need not resign themselves to utter dependence upon their sighted neighbors, the psychologists say. The reported solution of the problem resulted from the collaboration of a two-ma-n team, one of whom is blind, working under the direction of Dr. Karl M. Dallenbach, professor of psychology at Cornell. The workers are Michael Supa, blind graduate student from Binghamton, a graduate of Colgate in 1940, and Milton Cotzin, graduate assistant, a native of Worcester, Mass., A. B. Clark university in 1938 and M. A., University of Nebraska, 1939. A Fuzile for Centuries. The peculiar ability of the blind to avoid obstacles has baffled mankind for centuries. Casual observers and amateur experimenters have been responsible for highly fanciful explanations of a "power" supposedly possessed only by the blind themselves. Many vague descriptive terms were used to label this special abilityterms ranging from "facial vision," "warning sense" and "distance sense" to "telesthesia," "par-opt"sixth vision" and the sense of the blind." The halo of mysticism and supernaturalness attending this ability of the blind is undoubtedly due to the misunderstanding created by the term "sixth sense," according to the experimenters. In a series of carefully controlled experiments consisting of more than 1,500 trials, the three psychologists used four subjects, two totally blind and two with normal vision. The latter believed beforehand that they would be Incapable of perceiving the presence of objects without vision. But, from the very outset, these subjects, who were now completely blindfolded, were able to detect the presence of an artificial wall which was placed in their path. Test Subjects' Reactions. Throughout the series the subjects were asked to state how they thought it was possible for them to distinguish the presence of the obstacle. At first, none was able to give a definite reason but said that they "Just knew it was there." Then, some thought that sounds aided in their determinations. The others said that an indefinite pressure experience on the forehead served as their cue. Tests were now devised to determine objectively which of these subjective reports was cor- USED CARS Late Models in All Popular Makes at ihe Most Reasonable Prices in ihe County!

As in the preceding series, all subjects were able to detect the pressure of the wall. Women Increase Lead Over Men in Big Cities hour wrecker service with the latest, wrrrkinjr unit in the State. most up se.iS WASHINGTON. Women's predominance in the population of the big cities is growing, according to a report from the census bureau. They outnumber males in 26 of the cities of more than 100,000 population. 13 more than in 1930. Atlanta had the largest proportion of females, there being only 84 9 males counted there for each 100 females. Richmond Borough in New York city was at the other extreme, 109.3 to 100. For the country as a whole the excess of males over females, which has continued throughout the nation's life, reached Its peak in 1910, but bas since been dropping at the rate of about 100,000 a year and last year amounted to only 697.051. Women outnumbered men In Atlantic seaboard states, but men were found to be more numerous In the Middle West, Southwest, Rocky Mountain slates and on the Pacific coast. 92 Comes Up With No. 1 Fish Story of Season PINT No. 61 Vt PINT No. 62 QUART No. 60 H EOUBB0I KHiNjT &4HUUI cosrouno mt I ' t LOS ANGELES.

Dairymen Plan More Production Of Canned Milk And Cheese "A 25 per cent increase in evaporated milk and 30 per cent in cheese for defense purposes to meet our own needs and those of Britain" that was the stress placed upon Utah dairymen last week by Roy Jones, U.S.D.A. extension dairyman from Washington, D.C., to increase their production of milk under the nationr Defense program. al At a meeting held in Logan with dairy specialists of the Utah State Agricultural college, condenser officials, DHI cow testers, and representatives of the state department of agriculture, Mr. Jones pointed out the significance of this effort to produce 15,000,-00- 0 more pounds of cheese annually. Mr. Jones said that "we are already producing enough to meet our milk demands, the immediate problem is convert a larger amount of our dairy production into cheese and evaporated milk." He went on to say that indications are that satisfactory prices will be paid for butterfat to dairymen through the balance of this year and 1942. Citing a recent report of Secretary of Agriculture Wickard, Mr. Jones showed that due to the Department of Agriculture's program for supporting milk prices at least 35 cents a hundredweight was added to the price of milk for manufacturing purposes during April and May. George B. Caine, head of the college dairy department who presided at the meeting, pointed out that in order to make the most of the increased price paid for butterfat, dairymen should keep their herds producing at a high level during the late summer and fall months. This of course, entails an extended feeding program and should encourage the preparation and use of supplemental pastures in the future. Food-Fo- Water Filled Tire A tractor tire that can be completely filled with water is one of the new things in farm power. The filled tire means greater weight, increased traction, and reduced bounce. New tractors can have tires ficlled with water at the factory or at the dealer's, without the use of inner tubes. In cold climates, calcium chloride is added to the water to prevent fruzing.

GIAY'S Scholes drove several nails into a block of the new concrete, which is made with vermiculite instead of sand. The block didn't split and the nails didn't bend. He then sawed It Into small sections with a handsaw. There were no cracks and the edges were smooth. Scholes, conducting experiments with the new material for the Tennessee Valley Authority, hopes the vermiculite product will come Into widespread use for building low-cohouses.
