Two Yale university scientists proved to a distinguished gathering that the lowly cockroach can smell colors, and can snu-l- black in particular. Maybe, they think humans can, too. Using several large roaches, a cage, and aluminum checkerboard, and some lampblack. Dr. Walter Miles and Lloyd Beck demonstrated the theory that colors affect the sense of smell through sudden heat loss in the smell organs. The checkerboard was laid out in alternate squares of unpainted aluminum and lampblack, which had no smell, and the roaches were placed on the floor of tho cage, half an inch above the checkerboard. The cage was especially equipped to conduct heat. The lights were turned out, and when the test was over the loaches were directly over the black squares. The scientists explained that the roaches were drawn over the black squares because of heat flowing from the smell organs to the lampblack. The aluminum, they said, threw back heat, and caused no heat loss to the sense of smell of the roaches. Because of nose-heloss. Miles said, they smelled the black squares. The experiment was performed at a meeting of the American Philosophical society. l Plant Ills Expert Duckological Doings Has Important Job Task Complicated, Needs Much Study Diagnosing plant ills is a complicated task and one which requires careful study.

The relative to tha lowly clam long has been caught commercially here for use as bait and for sale as food to foreign local markets. and Recently, though, dealers report nation-wid- e sales have increased. One possible reason for the Increased use Is the cheapness, about 15 cents a pound. Most of the squid caught here are small, but once in a while fishermen find a giant in their nets. One squid measured more than 11 feet from tip of tentacle to tip of tentacle. The squid, frequently confused with the octopus, has a narrow body, eight arms and two long The tentacles. two tentacles, equipped with suction discs to lock them together and studded with swiveled hooks, are used to seize passing fish for food. , The arms take the food from the tentacles, draw It up under the body and there the squid tears the food beak. apart with its parrot-lik- e It propels Itself by drawing water In through openings back of its head, then expelling the water through a small tube.

Ba Lomond Mtl, The Denver DENVER, COL. and Philadelphia mints have been ordered to coin 15 million dollars worth of Sun Yat-sedollars for the Chinese nationalists, Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, director of the United States mint, has revealed. News of the emergency coinage for the Nationalists was revealed when some employees of the Denver mint were called back from s their annual vacation. Moses E. Smith, superintendent of the Denver mint, at first refused to divulge the nature of the work for which the men were called back, because of what be called strict secrecy Imposed by Washington." Mrs. Ross disclosed in a telephone Interview, however, that the coinage was for the Nationalists. She said silver for the coins was being supplied by the Chinese government. Mr, Smith said the silver involved had been released by a transfer order from the treasury. About three million dollars worth of the coins are being made in Denver, he said. Heres good news for the fly fisherman: The Shakespeare companys famous glass fly rod the Wonderod is now to be made In two new models at a retail price reduction which will put these rods within the reach of many more American anglers. The new models will be made and up in lengths and the big news is that they will retail for only $45. Prior to Shakespeares decision to make these glass rods available to more anglers, it took $60 to purchase a Wonderod. Shakespeare pledges the new rods will have the same fine action of their expensive companion models, with the only difference being in the finish, handle and put up. The Wonderod has proved to be all the manufacturers have claimed for it, and any angler who owns one will always describe it as his favorite rod. Until one has cast with the feather-ligh- t Wonderod, its wonderful action cannot be appreciated, for it is difficult to put into words just what responsive resiliency, power and delight in use are embodied in its construction. Despite its lightness, its remarkable power makes it more than a match for all that Mr. Fish can dish out Propagating Dairymen interested in measuring the efficiency of their farm production now have two rules of thumb" to use as guides.

They explained that diseases may loe carried over on old crop refuse in the seed bed, on soil, or weeds. Other practices may be needed to obtain greatest disease control For example, seed treatment alone does not completely control watermelon anthracnose, but in demonstrations last year seed treatment delayed the disease until late in the season 'when a minimum of dust applications proved practical. classified; DEPARTMENT vjimDntr & d 4 . !
