U. (AP) A spray that Is sure death to fruit- eating Insect but harmless to .hu mans who eat the fruit Is claimed by the U. 8. department of agriculture. It Is the result of long research and a world-wide hunt for an Insect poison harmful only to insects. . Many Insect poisons now m use, explains Dr. R. C. Roark, chemist of the Department of Agriculture con tain Ingredients, such as arsenic, that are harmful to animals and hu mans if taken In sufficient quan tities. ! The new poison, called rotenone, gets Insects "coming and going.' It kills them If they eat it, and also if it comes in contact wltb their bodies externally. , Scientists of the Department . of Agriculture, experimenting on them selves, ate quantities of the powder deliberately but suffered no Hi ef fects. The Ingredients used In making rotenone were discovered not by scientists but by primitive natives of South America and the East Indies. The poison occurs In the roots of several tropical plants, especially cube (pronounced coo-bay) and denis. ' The natives use the poisons In fishing, making an extract of the roots of the plants, and pouring It Into a stream. The poison, though greatly diluted, intoxicates or stupe fies the fltVi so that they are easily captured. Eating the poisoned fish has no 111 effects on the natives, explorers no ticed, and this fact indicated to scientists that the poison might be the kind they were seeking. Rotenone can be used as the basis of household insect powders, for ani mal powders, such as flea dusts,' and for preparations to kill plant lice and fruit-eating bisects, Dr. Roark says. It la believed the plants from whir,1! the poison is extracted can be cultivated In tropical countries and perhaps In the southernmost parts of the United States, making this coun ry Independent of outside supplies. The department of Agriculture also Is experimenting to see If the poisons can be produced synthetically. HICKMAN NEW STATE AERONAUTICS HEAD . PORTLAND, Aug. 11. (AP) Lau rence B.

PENDLETON ASKED TO SHIFT ROUNDUP EOR BI CENTENNIAL PENDLETON, Ore.. Aug. lllAP) Recognition of America's premier round-up has come from the national capital , - The suggestion that the Pendleton round-up be transplanted to Wash ington. D. C for the District of Co lumbia Washington bl-centennial next year, was . received today by the round-up management here. In offering the suggestion, Arnold Kruckman. member of the executive committee, aaid: "I don't believe this part of the Atlantic coast has ever seen a genuine round-up, by genu ine cowpunchers, riding real range horses. ;rtX3 "I think if the Pendleton round-up were produced here as part of this Washington bl-centennlal it would make a profound impression upon the people who live in the east." Henry W. Collins, president of the round-up, expressed pleasure at the recognition of Pendleton's annual show, but said "I'm afraid Mr. Kruck man doesn't realize the difficulties or the cost of picking up the round up and transporting it to Washing ton. I doubt If 25O,O0O would foot the bill even If we did not take all the show. "'. . - Auto glaos replaced while you wait. Medford Plate Olass Co. )L DROWNS 4 IN FAMILY AUTO PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. U.
