that it was the property of the Ali
cel Elevator company, and not a star
at all. but a light wliich Is displayed
by Mr. Buchanan once each year
when the f irat load xQl wheat arrives
at the elevator. This eVent has grown
to be a real ceremonv. telling tho
folk of the valley that harvest has ar
rived and the farmer 'folk seeing it
realize that their fears of frost, hall,
etc., are about over, tor another year
and that soon all the crop will be
safely in the bins. The first loads this

Mrs. J. A. Holman of the Islanc
City neighborhood had the misfor
tune to break her right arm lost week
and while the member seems to be
doing very well, still it is quite pain
ful and it Is quite a handicap at this
busy season of the year. The acci
dent occurred when Mrs. Holman was
getting from the car.
Inspecting Grain
D. E. Stephens, of the Moro experi
ment station came to the valley yes
terday and is making a tour of in
spection, looking over plots of grain
in the valley which are up for certifi
cation.
Had Ftre
The fire which visited Cove the
latter part of last week destroying
two residences and the Maccabee hall
might have been much more serious
than it was though It was plenty
serious. There was absolutely no
wind, according to reports and this
helped matters greatly. If any kind
of a wind had prevailed, the extent
of the damage would tax a good Im
agination. Sidewalks across the street
are charred from the intense heat,
telephone poles are similarly dam
aged. Onlookers who could not assist
tn the bucket brigade, were kept busy
looking after falling embers and
sparks. If we were writing an edi
torial, we would say that the loss of
the hall should not be moinned. It
was old and delapldated. However it
filled a want for community projects,
high school athletics, and dances
were held there. The new community
building would in all probability have
put the hall out of use completely.
Have Guests
Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Blokland had
as their guests, last week at their cab

By Howard W. Itlokeslee
(Associated Press Science Editor)
NEW HAVEN, Conn VP) A pale
.yellow beast that roamed In Arizona
500.000 years ago has been restored
.to its original form at Peabody muse
jum. Even quiet-spoken scientific
men call the feat "remarkable."
This animal is one of the world's
rare remnants of the varied animal
color schemes familiar to antiquity.
I Unlike other prehistoric fossils, this
one still retains some of Its hide and
j hair, in five different patches.
1 The bones still were held together
.by ligaments, giving an unusual op
'portunity to restore the creature, a
ground sloth, Just as he looked one
day half a million years ago when he
stepped into a death trap left by an
extinct Arizona volcano.
Piecing together the telltale marks
at the bottom of the trap, Prof. Rich
ard Swann Lull of Yale plans further
search for bones of animals the
marks of whose teeth still were vis-
'lble on the sloth.
There is hope of finding a mega
therium or a mylodon.
The sloth's hair is pale yellow,
smooth, fairly coarse, and evidently
made an effective protective coating,
although it lacked trace of the wooly
undercoat known on some flloths.
It is now very brittle.
To laymen one of the beast's most
remarkable characteristics is the way
j he walked, with the paws of his long
' forelegs bent, much as a gorilla walks
ion its knuckles.
j "Tho effect," says Prof. Lull, de
scribing the animal, "is somewhat
! weird,, with the extremely broad and
powerful rear portion and the curious
feet."
"Ono is Impressed with the general
utility of the fore limbs, not only In
pul'ing down branches of low trees
and shrubbery, but for digging and
defense, since the claws, both front
and rear, would be cruel weapons.

Remnants of the bmly at a prehistoric yellow sloth enabled scientists
to reconstruct the unimal us it looked f.oii'.noo years ago (above). Professor
U. s. Lull (below) plans search for other animals that lived tit same time.
A hardened food ball was found,
remains of the sloth's last meal. It
consisted of twigs, roots, branches and
a little sand, all else having been
digested. , It indicated that this sloth
probably lived upon roots and sage
brush, which he dug or pulled up and
ate entire.

Only Waiting for Autumn Breezes
NEW YORK OP) A tuning system,
containing a single screen grid tube,
has been devised for use with the
two-tube Loft in -White direct coupled
amplifier. - A three-tube receiver re
sults. It consists of two tuned circuits,
one for the antenna and the other
ahead of the amplifier, the first tube
of which is used no: on:y as the de
tector but as an audio amplifier,
feeding its output directly Into the
245 output tube. Good amplification
is obtained, with sufficient selectiv
ity to keep stations from overlap
ping The tuner the work of the Elcc
trad laboratories, Is designed so that
it fits in with the amplifier, the
power pack of which supplies 1xth
filament and plate current. The
only change in the amplifier unit Is
the Insertion of a choke coll and a
small bypass condenser across . Its
output to keep radio frequency cur
rent out of the speaker coll.
Volume Is controlled through a po
tentiometer which regulates the volt
ago on the screen of the first tube.
This control also operates the power
line switch for turning on and off
tho set. Colls are shielded, with the
RF tube mounted -between them.
The French government, by decree,
hao eliminated foreign development
of its civil airways.

CENTRAL CAN LOOK-IN
ON TELEVISION TALKER
NEW. YORK At Much as "listen
ing in" was coined for the experience
of listening to something by radio, so
"looking in" has como into television
vernacular. I
The "looking in" is done by 'cen
tral" on the two-way television cir
cuit of the A. T. & T. here. This
central not only has to complete the
talking connection, but also must
complete the "picture" connection
thnt is. make sure that the two pei-
sons two miles, apart see each other
distinctly.
Central does this with an apparat
us that shows In miniature perfect
copies of the television faces as they
appear to the phone users. This ap
paratus has two eye pieces, one
showing the face of the person at the
calling end. and the other the face
at the receiving end. It Is an odd sen
sation, like looking at the empty
space separating two persons, and
seeing materialize there clear images
of eyes, hair and facial contours and
colors.
