(iniilri '' By way of carrying the track rec ord controversy a step farther, W. L. (Fox) Stanton, veteran and successful mentor of California Instltuto of Technology, rises to suggest that all marks bo thrown out. He would take the human element entirely from foot racing. v Etnnton. whose coaching career started In the cast and brought him West, sagely suggests that the names of great runners no longer are based 6n their times but on their victories, since all the old timers' marks long since havo been Junked. "The fallibility of timers," Stat ion told our Paul Zimmerman, "has long been suspected, but never have they been caught In the act until detected by a mechanical timer. Other human beings involved In the detection as accessories to the act aro the Judges. Judges are very, very human! "Tho only safe race In which to use a human Judge would be where he would be required not to use his eyes but only hlB cars in detecting the sound of feet as they cross the finish line." Obviously Conch Stanton treats hand timing and human Judging of a finish as a laughing matter. A "New Heal" Far Trucks en "Oreece held foot races, but who remembers the records? What has become of the records made by Ber nlo Wefers, Chnrles Paddock, Waldo Throop and Fred Kelly? Records are very uncertain things so long as hu man beings have anything to do with tho making of them. "With doubt now Injected into all past records, why not lncludo trark meets in the New Deal, acclaiming tho victory, not the record, as the important thing?" Obviously Stanton wan handling the situation without gloves. "The timers and Judges may now havo to buy tickets," he continued, "and take their places in the stands With the rest of hoi polloi. "Curses on science!' Wert deal C'ameru U Answer Tho Kirby electrically operated timing-camera is a bit expensive to operate, but it is tho real aunwer to the problem of what to do about foot-racing records. It has now passed beyond the oxperlmentnl stage and Is being used at most outstanding national track meets to detect errors by tho human eye In "calling" the order of finish. Comparison of the camera-clock with hand-timing so fr has not es tablished any conclusive margin of error. That Is to say. the two have varied consistently but sometimes tho hand-timing has been Mower than the automatic device and at other it has been faster. It is well known, of course, that In the big events a consensus of at least FIVE watches Is taken to arrive at the official tlmo. The theory Is that this average com pensates for manual errors, but It i only a theory that happens to be reasonably 'fair and acceptable.

(IP) They are com ing by- trainloaris these gaunt, hun gry, thirsty cattle saved from starva m the drouth-stricken west to be' fattened on Dixie's verdant pas tures nnd made into canned beef for tho nation's needy. Nearly every section of the south that has grazing land Is becoming a refuge for the vletms of the west's parched ranges and dry water holes. Aside from the economic elements of the migration, the whole thing Is a sort of free circus for the hinter lands. Long freight trains roar through the farm belts nnd come to a stop at hamlets that normally get no more recognition than a short whistle. blast. One. two or may lie three cars are cut out of the long string and shifted to a sidetrack. Then a little more shifting closes the gap in the train and it roars away. But the show Is Just starting for the local folks. By prearrangment8 with the federal emergency relief ad ministration, some citizen with a big barn lot or an old livery stable takes charge of the cattle and waters and feeds them until farmers of the neighborhood come for their quotas. The village turns out In a body to see something few had ever seen be fore a western range cow on the hoof. In most cases they are disap pointed. They come fully expecting to gaze on half-wild longhorns that would Jump over five-foot fences at the drop of a hat, ' HEAT BARRIER TO DEEP MINES BROKEN AT LAST By Hrnvard W. Illakeslee (Associated Press Science Editor) NEW YORK MV A new era In pene tration of the depths of the earth ojcns with the breaking of the heat bnrrler which has slowed progress of tho "hard-rock men" In the world's deepest hole. 8.:JB0 feet, in tho Rob inson Deep mine of the Rand gold field, South Africa. This hole Is one of three on differ ent continents, all almost equally derp. nil gold mines, and all now reaching the barrier where rocks are eternally hot. The heated rock Is only the top most barrier which science faces. Deper lie others, which If they should ever be penetrated probably would require the hard -rock men to wear armor. Tho first banter is about to be cracked at the Robinson Deep mine by erection, on the surface, of a half million dollar refrigeration plant by the Carrier corporation. It will send ft cold wind down a three-mllc-long. slanting shaft to the 8.:)H0-foot level. It will relieve a temperature of 100 to 120 and a humidity of 100 per cent at which the strongest hard rock huskies work at only 30 per cent effi ciency. The plant will create at 8 500 feet the temperature conditions now pre vailing at 7,000 feet. Since the mine, worked at full pace, ns Is being d.me In these days of hlv'h-prii'ed gold, Do You Need Grass Seed? We have a good stock at this time.

Instead, they find cattle quite like native stock some Herefords, some shoi thorns, a mixture of both, and a lot of ordinary nondescripts that could pass for common moo-cows of Dixie's tenant farmers. Moreover, they are as gentle as the family milk cow for the most part. Southern peo ple can't understand that, for they had thought of western qfcttle in terms of great stampedes, with sing ing cowboys and the like. .Many In Starved Condition After the villagers have helped herd the refugees into the barnyard or livery stable, the next big Job of the temporary custodian Is to pump enough water for the famished bensts. They can't seem to get enough. One herd of 50 at Hampton, Ga., drank 250 gallons without stopping lor breath. Another herd of 300 plunged Into the Savannah river near Augusta, Ga.; and refused to come out until they had drunk their fill which took an hour or more. Although an occasional carload Is found that bears lew symptoms of starvation, many of the beasts are little more than skin and bones. They munch now-found hay with pathetic eyes that sem to beg for more. Farmers who have agreed to rent pasture to tho relief administration at the rate of 50 cents a month for each head prepare to receive their charges with the same apprehension about western catle that the vil lagers felt. But the cattle stroll from village pen to grazing land with the docility of sheep. grows deeper at the rate of about 1.000 feet In five years, the air-cooling system is counted upon to add seven and a half years to its life. As to how much deeper gold goes, gcolgists" estimates differ. They range all the way from 15 miles to 40. Below the heat barrier the next one promises to be rock pressure, tho squeeze due to weight of the earth above. This pressure probably accounts for most of the heat, such as the 102 degrees of all the rock at the bottom of the South African hole. If the rock H brittle, this pressure may cause fragments to pinch off and ahoot out with explosive force. A bmttll chunk might kill a man. If tho rock Is soft It tends to close up, like putty. Finally comes the growing expense as mines go deeper. The possibility which some economists foresee of a world shortage of gold may be a long time factor in postponing the expense limit. Breaking through the heat barrier la hailed by mining experts as an economic as well as scientific feat.

One of the refrigeration problems is lack of sufficient space for pres ent size units at the bottom of very deep mines.

These will combine to drive 400,000 cubic feet or cold air a min ute through a tunnel Into the mine shaft. The other two deepest mines are Morrovelho in Brazil, at 8.040 feet and the Champion Reef mine, My sore. India, at 7,580. Several gold mines are down more than a mile. (Ol KTESV OF THE HO AD By Brooke Peter Church, Tommy was 16, and in the slate where he lived, old enough to have a driver's license. Like most young sters he was quick to tearn the mechanism of a car, and In no time at all was able to pass the t;Gt. But one lesson no one had thought to teach him. and one point not covered in the test, was r.al road courtesy. He cbeyed the laws, was roasonable about tipecd, and would have passed In any crowd as an ade quate motorist. It was In little things that his technique was poor. He could not bear to let a car pass him, and would noi move to the side of the road or slow down for a faster car. He In variably insisted on his right of way even if ho inconvenienced and en dangered others by so doing. He liked to blow his horn when it was quite unnecessary, and often roused a sleeping neighborhood with the un necessary noise. He was not being deliberately unkind, but was simply thoughtless. ' In a world whero automobiles are o numerous, driving courtesy Is es sential and youngsters should learn It as naturally as they learn table manneui. The child who Is taught not to make a pig of himself at meals should be taught also not, to be road hog. The boy or girl who learns to st aside to let an older person enter a door first, should realize that he cannot always have preced ence on the road. Motoring is still comparatively new, and all the conventions of driving are not developed. The best conventioas are those which grow out of kindness and consideration for others, and It will be the children of tlday who will eventually ccdify them. Tho sooner they become conscious of tlM task ahead of them, the better for everyone, mm man m 5 wL ,"v ' i3 mmmimi r m .moj jp of st"rci5' mnke B '2 .WffWiSW. igSI! ".me, 89C Plus m. (i. m. j News.
