ON SUPER-DUPER LINES
Competing for 'Better Mousetrap'
Pueblo, Colo. Wj If, reasoned Carl Fuller of Billings, Mont.,
curiosity will kill a cat, why shouldn't it be just as lethal for a
mouse?
Proceeding on that theory
Fuller has constructed a super
de luxe mousetray which he
has on display at the Rocky
Mountain Inventors' Congress
now in progress here.
Here's how his mousetrap
. works:
Mickey is lured into a maze
of corridors, hidden trap doors,
slyly placed snap-locks and oth
er unsuspected impediments
through his sheer desire to find
out just what in heck the gadget
Is. As Mr. Mouse investigates
further with all escape cut off
he finds himself suddenly
dumped thraugh one last trap
door into a quart jar filled with
water.
Voila! Mr. Mouse Is drowned.
The trapdoor automatically re
lets itself and is ready for more
business.
Carl Hanna of Del Norte is
competing with Fuller in the
mousetrap department. But
Hanna'f creation is lest elabo
rate. Hanna's "better mousetrap"
features a trigger attachment
for setting the neck - breaking
snapper. It's guaranteed to help
the owner catch more mice than
lingers.

Italian Lauds
World Sports
Fort Lewis, Wash., June 29
(U.R) An Italian army officer,
who last week won the sabres
class fencing championship of
America in New York, said to
day that "international sports
competition was a great means
of bringing about understanding
between nations."
Col. Umberto Demartino, mil
itary attache of the Italian gov
ernment in Washington, D.C.,
here on on inspection tour, said
"I was amazed when I was ac
cepted for competition in the
American championships."
He said he had to commute by
airplane and Pullman between
Washington and New York to
participate. "I would rush into
the office in Washington to pre
pare the diplomatic pouch, sign
papers and make reports, and
then fly to New York." He took
57 matches to win the title.
Col. Demartino participated
in the 1932 Olympic games in
Los Angeles. "I know many of
your wonderful American ath
letes," he said. "And I admire
most of all Harrison Dillard, the
hurdler. His talent speaks an
international language."

Poison Weed
Brings Warning
Salt Lake City, June 29" (U.R)
Alarmed parents in a Salt Lake
City suburban residential area
Tuesday warned children to be
ware of an innocent, free-growing
weed found in many vacant
lots in the district. The weed is
poison hemlock, technically
known as "conium malcula
tion." The alarm .was sounded after
3-year-old Patricia Ann Dignan,
bright-eyed, auburn -haired
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
B. Dignan, died suddenly late
Monday.
She and a pal, Timothy Nie
man, 3, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl
F. Nieman, had been playing in
one of the vacant lots.
Timothy said Patricia had
nibbled on the "little flowers"
before she became ill, just three
hours before she died. Timothy
didn't think he's eaten any of
the weed, but he was under a
physician's observation.
An autopsy was being per
formed to establish definitely
the cause of the little girl's
death.
A University of Utah botonist,
Dr. Seville Flowers, examined
the weed growing profusely in
the middle-class Ridgedale Lane
residential district and identi
fied it as poison hemlock.
"All parts of this weed are
deadly poison," Flowers said.
"Animals avoid the weed unless
they are near starvation and
cattle will die from eating it."

Grasshoppers
Plague Harney
Portland, June 29 (IP) A vast
horde of migatory grasshoppers
now covers 800,000 acres in des
olate southern Harney county
but entomologists think they
won't get into farming areas.
Dr. Don C. Mote, head of the
Oregon State college entomol
ogy department, reported the
"thick" infestation and added
that it is a new species for Ore
gon. The hoppers came into
the state from northern Nevada
last year.
They have been seen on the
wing in the past week, rising in
clouds to 200 feet at times, he
said.
He noted, however, that their
migration last year moved them
only 40 miles and a long trek
into farming lands is not expect
ed this year.
Field men have been at work
to control them and while there
has been a good kill, "the total
decrease in grasshopper numbers
is insignificant compared to the
entire mass."
Two weeks ago an infestation
of hoppers was reported in
Baker county, with especial con
cern being felt in the Durkee
area. Crews moved in with poi
soned bait and a plane spreaded
the area.
Baker county's hoppers are
the Mexicanni species, while
those in southern Harney are
Menaloplus Occidentalis. The
U.S. bureau of entomology has
an expert in the field today to
determine the extent and seri
ousness of the Baker county
infestation. Last week the coun
ty agent estimated 100 hoppers
per square yard at Durkee,
covering an area a half mile
wide and two miles long. Hay
crops and orchards were threat
ened.
Elsewhere in Oregon, with
hoppers especially prevalent in
Grant, Wheeler and Morrow
counties, the number is about
normal, Mote said.
