(JPi Tadpoles may not blush, (but they have a trick of complex. Ion change which Interests biolo gists at Antloch college. In or dark place, .or against a , dark background, they turn slight ly dark. In a white chamber their sklna, become a few shades light- -er. .,-.... - v The . darkening is . duo to the skin pigment spreading into star- , like . shapes, -while, the paling comes "from contraction of the pigment into dots. - The .underlying . causes are sought .- by Dr.1 Henry Federlghi, assistant - professor, of biology. j.: He 'removes, a patch of tadpole skin and grafts it back into place. There follows a period when it la fed only by the blood vessels, as the nerves are elower about mending;- - ' '-' " In the different periods of heal- ing' Dr. Federlghi hopes to leain -whether the blood or the nerves 'control the pigment changes. It blood proves the control, It might be said a tadpole, can blush to re main unseen, .... ISHM TO SAFE "While a great deal Is heard of "Safety First," it is not always realized that the motor vehicles of today are much safer ' to op erate, than were - those of even two or three years ago. Not only does each year see an improvement in the mechanical ef ficiency of the Vehicles when con sidered simply as means of trans port, but at the same time there is an advance In the inherent safety of the cars so that those who are quite inexperienced in their use may drive without rir.k of endangering themselves or oth er users of the- road. "Probably the most notable con tribution to safe driving In re cent years is the silent shift Syn- cro-Mesh type of transmission, -such as Is now used in all models of the 1931 Buick line," declares tC E. Loomis, Pacific regional manager of the Bulck Motor com , pany. ' "The outstanding value of Byncro-Mesh is the ability' to shitt silently nnd- quickly from first to second, second to high, or from high hack to second. This is tremendous 'advantage In driving up' or down a steep hill, In traf fic, or on slippery pavements when it is often aesirable to shift from high' to second without a fraction .of, ."delay' so aa to use the engine for1' additional braking effort. In slowing down the car in this man ner 'the speed of the real wheels --'is retarded equally as a result of the1: action of the differential -Which ,' transmits either driving force or braking effort from tho engine to the wheels equally Braking power applied in this manner reduces the tendency to skid as well as adds greatly to the braking efficiency of the mo tor car.; v "The mechanical design of Bulck's Syncro-Mesh transmission is a, device which causes two - gears about to mesh to revolve at the same speed. This effect Is ob tafned with two clutches. As the gear shift lever is moved from neutral It, acts on one or othei of these clutches, causing the clutch to synchronize the two gears about to mesh. The gears are synchronized so quickly that, with no pause in the motion of shifting, the final movement is made while the gears are revolv ing at exactly the same speed Aa a result, the teeth Interlock quickly, easily and silently." MARSEILLES, France, June 27. (P) The French Foreign Les ion1 has been a beneficiary of the economic slump.
