SCIENCE FINDS
CLUE TO ART OE
ANCIENT TIMES
London, (IP) Discoveries In
Persia of historical and artistic
importance are reported by the Just
completed expidition of the Amer
ican Institute for Persian Art and
ArchaeoloRy.'
The expedition was under the
direction of M. C. Cr. Watelin, and
operations were conducted for the
American Institute by the staff of
the Oxford-Field expedition. The
necessary finances were provided
by Mrs. christian Holmes of New
York.
In exploring on area adjoining
three palaces, which were discov
ered two years ago, the expedition
unearthed the greater part of a
large building that was apparently
part of the palace group. Two
large platforms were uncovered
which the excavators think might
have been an ancient sun-bathing
place, or for resting after bathing,
as a huge bathing pool was dis
covered during the first season's
digging.
Six cases of objects discovered
in this Basanian building have
arrived at Oxford, and Include
several types of blue glaze pottery,
some unglazed terra-cotta Jars
with powerful Incised designs,
quite a number of terra-cotta fig
ures in animal form, Including a
rhyton and a fish aquamanlle both
suggestive of Acnaememu proto-tvnes.
Further explorations have -been
announced for the coming year,
and will include, in addition to
the operation at Ktsh, an archae
ological survey of Azerbaijan, In
Northwest Persia, the first to be
undertaken In this region.
AIDS ANALYSIS
Chicago (LP) Apparatus so sensi
tive that an unknown substance can
be analyzed, both as to quantity and
the type, by photographing the vap.
orized substance, was described by
scientists at a meeting of the Am
erican Society of Testing Mntorlals.
So sensitive is the apparatus, ex
perts say, that metals in foreign
materials can be detected and class
ified when they are In as low a con
centration as one-millionth of one
per cent.
Charles C. Nltchle, scientist of the
Bausch and Lomb laboratories, des
cribes the method as spectral an
alysis. It employes a device called
spectrograph which Is essentially
camera, so arranged and focusscd
s to take simultaneously a group
cf pictures of a ray of light. The ray
passes through lenses and a prism.
The prism sorts the individual wave
lengths of the various substances,
and a separate image is produced of
each wave-length.
The wave-lengths appear on the
photographic plate as lines, each
one of which is characteristic of
the elements contained in the ob
ject being analyzed.

LOAN FUND TO
"AID STUDENTS
Evanston, 111. (lP-Withln a short
time 100,000 students without funds
may be able to return to colloge;
This announcement was made fol
lowing a proposal by the American
Alumni Council urging the estab
lishment of a credit union, which
would provide $10,000,000 to be loan
ed to students lacking the necessary
cash lor tiucion mis iuu.
A survey, by a special committee
of the council, among 700 colleges
in the country, revealed a desperate
ncl for a loan system.
Throueh a credit union, backed
by students with means and alumni
and faculty, members of the council
feel that the emergency could be
met. Present loan funds, the coun
cil learned through the survey, are
not adequate to meet the problem,
since $40,000,000 will be lopped from
educational budgets for the 1933-34
terms, throwing approximately e.uuu
professors out of work, and prevent
ing between 60,000 and 100,000 stu
dents from returning to school In
the fall term.

CANNED SNAKE
MEET BOWS TO
ELITE DINERS
Philadelphia, OP Canned rattle
snake meat made its formal bow to
Philadelphia's Dalate when 25 "tast
ers" partook of it at the invitation
of Dr. Charles H. LaWall, dean of
the Philadelphia College of Phar
macy and Science.
"They all liked it," Dean LaWall
snid, when pressed for details.
"And why shouldn't they? It tastes
just like chicken a la king. I ate
a whole can of it myself."
The whole affair started at a
lecture on foods delivered by Dr.
LeWall at the institution. To bul
wark his claims that "most any
food In the world is savory if you
develop an appetite for it," he in
troduced a can of diamondback
rattlesnake, the product of an Ar
cadia, Fla., firm, and invited his
hearers to sample It.
"Do you mean to say they actu
ally er ate snakes?" he was asked.
"Huh, I'll say they did," grinned
LaWall. "It was prepared with de
luxe sauce and was as delicious as
eels, except that the fibres were
longer than those of ells. By the
way, did you ever eat eels?"
The reported shuddered, and La
Wall continued:
"Seventy-five years ago no one
ate tomatoes, a half century ago
grapefruit were unknown, and 25
years ago such things as honey-dew
melons, now sold everywhere, were
never seen in the produce markets.
Now everybody eats all three. Why
not snakes? Nearly everything on
the face of the earth is eaten by
some people in some form."
Famous Men's Checks
Collected As Hobby
Boston (IF) The novel hobby of
James D. Henderson, Boston realtor,
is collecting cancelled checks.
His collection, the fruit of years
of tireless effort, includes the checks
of Charles Dickens, Robert Louis
Stevenson, Sir Walter Scott, John
Emerson. Abraham Lincoln, Jeffer
son Davis, and a host of other notables.
Cddly enough, Henderson has
found that the rarest modern check
is that of the late President Warren
G. Harding. There's a Harding check
in his collection but It cost him $50.
HITCH HIKER HAS
CHEAP VACATION
Lorain, O. (LP) Eddie Klckota,
24, feels he should be' entitled to
some sort of recognition lor his
hitch-hiking feat.
Eddie left Lorain May 26, with
$6 in his pocket. He returned just
in time to celebrate Fourth of July
at home, with a thin dime remain
ing in his pocket.
During that period, Eddie had
traveled through 20 states, and
had thumbed rides totaling 5,000
miles. His trip was interrupted
almost two weeks in New Orleans,
when he was stricken with appen
dicitis and had to undergo an op
eration. Eddie says his most recent trip
is not his most remarkable. A year
ago. Klekota and a companion
hitch-hiked through 27 states In 22
days.
American machines were the most
noDuler at the recent demonstration
of tractors in the Plain of Thessaly,
which was the first of its kind ever
given in Greece.

CRIPPLED TEXAN
HUNTS ON HORSE
Port Arthur, Tex. (LP) Unable to
walk since he was 12, Font Sim
mons, who has killed 3,000 or 4,000
deer during his 74 years, still makes
his living hunting in the "Big
Thicket" country of southeast Tex
as. He uses a horse for his legs
No one knows the Big Thicket as
well as Simmons. Most of his life
has been spent in the woods. From
his home at Votaw he puts out as
guide to hunting parties, or goes
out for his own enjoyment.
He hunted for the markets until
25 years ago. When he quit that
profession, then unrestricted by bag
limits, he had killed 2,500 deer. He
since has raised the kill to 3,000 or
4,000, he believes.
Fever left Simmons' legs para
lyzed when a boy. A goat and
wagon conveyed him the mile to
school for a while, but he soon
learned he could sit in a saddle.
A tiny wasp which feeds on near-
destroying slugs has been discovered
in New Zealand.
