Ghostly Invasion of British Prefab Laid to Bad Plumbing BRISTOL, Eng. (P)-An official board of inquiry ruled Sunday that no new-type ghost has invaded Britain. The trouble, it con cluded, was lust that same old bueaboo bad British plumbing. The board, consisting of three called in a clergyman ana a piumDer ana mvesugaiea an upstart sort of ghost who was supposed to be haunting a prefabricated hut. Mrs. Dora Hawkins, occupant oi the hut in one of Bristol's tem oorary housing developments, complained of queer goings on the bread-knife kept disappearing, the toilet flushed itself and there were ghostly noises and tippings through the night. It was most upsetting to those who believe British ghosts to be a well-ordered species which rare ly wander from traditional haunts in the stately homes or England. So the investigators planned an official check first by the plumb er, then a full ritual of "exorcis ing the ghost" from its reputed haunt in an ordinary hut. But it wasn't necessary to ex orcise: The plumber found the "ghostly feet in the night" Just bubbling water in the pipes; the self-flushing toilet due to a sticky valve. The "table Tappings," came from some loose metal panels on the hut and the "things to go bump in the night" were just metal plumb ing fittings expanding and con tracting in the changing tempera ture. . , And as for that wandering bread-knife, the investigators said Mrs. Hawkins' two-year-old "probably can explain this." Mrs. Hawkins, who had moved to her mother's house, said she was unimpressed. "The place is haunted," she said flatly. "I'm not going back." The Bristol town fathers said 20 other families already had ap plied for the hut.

BLAKESLEK A-t science Reporter KALAMAZOO, Mich. VP) A new sex hormone to make animals fertile and more productive was announced Sunday by the Upjohn Company. S The hormone is ECP, meaning estradiol cyclopentylpropionate. It might help double the nation's lamb crop, by making ewes have lambs twice a year instead oi only once, said Dr. J. L. Davidson, head of the firm's department of vet erinary medicine. Ewes become fertile, in heat and able to conceive, usually only in the fan or winter. The hormone has made "some ewes fertile in the spring and summer, and many of these bore lambs, Davidson said. The tests were made in Tennes see and Alabama. Doubling the lamb crop by in ducing two breedings a year has long been a goal in agriculture. More than a year ago,: Armour and Company of Chicago reported some success in getting ; ewes to breed twice a year by using a sex hormone, gonadotrophin.s These experiments have continued. Davidson said ECP also has overcome temporary sterility in cows, and that there is evidence It can often overcome barren ess in sows, or speed up the time when sows can be bred again. Sterility in cows and pigs costs farmers and consumers millions of dollars a year. The hormone also has worked well in trials on beef cattlej horses, and dogs, Dr. Davidson said.
