SHIFTING IDLE TO FARMH The government's effort to place unemployed city workers on farms where they can ' support themselves and! their families constitutes one of the most interesting experiments .' in the' entire recovery program. Interior Secretary Ickes, under presidential order) will have $25,000,066 to spend on the endeavor. The consequences may well be more far- reaching; than the modest beginning indicates. What' to do with hundreds of thousands of workers peima ! nently displaced in industry has been one of the riiost.baf--' fling problems of ' the economic and social 'reorganization: now being attempted. ,Cpal mining furnishes a case in' point.'..

"BABINSKI SIGN" ALSO FOUND IN THE CHIMPANZEE Ity lliiward W. IHokeslee (Associated Press Science Editor) NEW HAVEN. Conn. () The "Sinn of Hnblnskl," a big toe reflex once considered- exclusively human, has been found In chimpanzees at Vale University Institute of Human Hetatlons. Tlie discovery gives medical sci entists a bit of Information of poten tial value In studying human ner vous disorders. It also bridges an other gap in evolution. Tickle a baby's Instep and the big too will try to turn upward. Instead of curling downward like an adult's reaction. That toe upturning is the "siBn of Dublnakl.". The name in from Joseph Dablnskl. Pre tic h physi cian who discovered the reMcx about 30 years ago. s milium or Nervous Trimble In babies It Is a healthy sign of the stage of still incomplete devel opment of the higher nervous cen ters.

But nothing like tho sign was detected from such In Jurlen until they had advanced up tho evolutionary Intclligencot; ladder to chlniiximwca, which, with gorillas, occupy tho rung Just below man. Speculative scientific writing here tofore has attributed tho "Uubinski" in man to an atavistic reversion to tho dim past when ho lived In trees. Then ho was thought to have had an "oppoRftbloV big toe, ono which, could be used like a thumb In grasp ing. Dr. Fulton says tho Yale stud ies show that this belief is a fallacy. "As yet." the report of the scien tists states, "we have no suggcfitlous to offer as to tho ultimate atavistic Mgulficauce of the reflex." Tho normal reflex, when the toe curls downward", generally Is be lieved to be a protective mechan ism. It is part of the motion of Jerk ing tho sole away from injury In stepping upon a sharp object.
