Tells Of 'Bold' Holdup t ; MEDFORD MAIL' TRIBUNE, JEEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 193f. it WITH ICE CREAM No Scientific Evidence That Any Combination of Food Bad for Healthy Person Claim of Famous Surgeon ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) If you like pickles with your Ice cream, eat them, nd don't expect to Increase your brain power by a diet of celery and fish, says Dr. D wight L. Wilbur V of the Mayo clinic here. & "There la no scientific evidence," eays Dr. Wilbur, "that In the healthy Individual any combination of foods Is deleterious. "The old thought that cherries and cream or eea food and cream produced poisons or generally caused Indigestion when eaten together has been disproved many times and lacks proof in scientific evidence. "Similarly, combination of cereals and acid fruits, proteins and starch, cranberries and milk, lemonade and Ice cream, are not harmful." Phosphorus "Misleading On the contrary, the indigestion which seems to come after eating of such foods Is the result of eat ing excessive amounts of them, says Dr. Wilbur, who is a son of Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, former secretary of the interior. Celery and fUh, says the doctor, which contain -.-datively large quan tities of phosphorus, are often spok en of as brain foods because the nervous system also contains a cer tain amount of phosphorus. But the Idea that one can supply added strength to one's brain or wisdom by eating regularly of these fy substances la quite far-fetched, he t believes. The average healthy Individual who eats the usual American diet of meat, potatoes, bread and butter, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruit to ' satisfy his appetite need have no worries about getting enough vita mins or minerals, says Dr. Dllbur. "Open Cans O. K.M "One not infrequently hears of In dividuals refusing to eat berries or grapes for fear that the seeds will lodge In the appendix and produce acute appendicitis," the doctor says. "While it cannot be denied that this never occurs, it la so Infrequent in actual experience as to be absolutely negligible." Dr. Wilbur takes one last blast at some time-honored theories. "Cooking acid foods in aluminum vessels is not harmful," he says, "and leaving food In opened tin cans la not any more dangerous than it is to leave them in china or glass dishes." v FOR PENNSYLVANIA RXDGEWAY, Pa.

(Associated Press Photo) INDIAN TRIBES FOUND NEAR TENNESSEE RIVER WASHINGTON (UP) On the Civil War battlefield of Shlloh, an expedi tion of CWA workers, directed by Dr. Frank H. H. Roberts, Jr., of the Bu reau of American Ethnology, Smith sonian t Institution, has unearthed a group of Indian mounds of marked hlstorlo interest. Located on a high bluf above the Tennessee river, the group Is believed to have constituted an ancient refuge and ceremonial ctmter. Within a radius of two miles.

Well protected on three sides by high bluffs and on the fourth by a palisade fence, the group Is believed to have been a center 'for worship, refuge from floods, and civic govern ment.

How ever, under smaller mounds, traces were "found of approximately 30 houses and, Roberta added, one small mound contained the flexed remains of 30 skeletons.

CALIFORNIA HELP IN FOSSIL STUDY Facts About Pre historic Animals, Men, Plants Are Gleaned By Scientists Draw Definite Conclusions WASHINGTON ( UP ) The asphalt beds of California have been found to be "veritable necropolises" of ani mal fossils, and give many discernible facts about plants, animals and men of past geoloftto ages, according to re- porta of a study made for Carnegie Institution by Robert W. Wilson. These deposits, now for the most part of bituminous hardness, once were gummy pools of tar which, the report states, engulfed unwary birds and animals quIcXly once they be came entangled, and preserved their skeletal remains for all time. Yielded Material The Carpenterla deposit, around whloh the recent study centered, has yielded enough material to enable the drawing of definite conclusions concerning conditions extant In the region during the geologic eras repre sented by the animals entombed. The occurrence of bones of shrews, for example, according to Wilson. suggests moist places with abundant vegetation, such as are to be found along stream banks, In meadows, and in damp woods, especially of conifer ous trees an environment which these Insectivorous mammals today find particularly agreeable. Partly Forested Again, the presence of fossil re mains of ohlpmunke and of tree squirrels points strongly, Wilson thinks, to a region .that was at least partly forested. On the other hand, the presence of many fossils of kangaroo-rats Indicates that the forest cover in the region of this asphalt deposit waa either broken by areas of sparser vegetation or that there may have been fluctuations in ellmatlo conditions during the period of accu mulation. Moreover, presence of larger mam mala of extinct species belonging to the. horse, bison and camela also sug gests an open, semi-arid country. It la to be noted, the report fur ther states, that Mr. Wilson's conclu sions regarding the region, based upon the study of skeletal remains ot animals, are In general harmony with those reached through study of the plant fossils also to be found In great abundance in the asphalt deposit.

(Associated Press Photo) I WINNIPEG (P) Wholesale de struction of lnsecte and spectaoular atmospheric disturbances during the next few yeara are predicted by ama teur astronomers here. They base their prediction on the behavior of sun spots. Growing In sice and intensity, tne spots are being studied carefully by the astronomers. They are approach ing what is known aa a maximum sun ipot period, and as they grow larger they will begin to bring trou bles and blessings in their wake, the astronomers claim. The maximum period will be In 1038 or 1030, according to A. B. Meg get, of Deer Lodge, one of the astron omers participating in the study. During the years leading up to that period, he says, the world may ex pect, among other things, a great Increase In rainfalls, growing atmo spheric disturbance and disruption of radio recepton and telegraphic communication, and wholesale de struction of insects, Including grass hoppers. The aun spot period comes every 11 years, Megget explains, and records kept since 1750 show that it has great Influence on conditions on the earth. There are marked changes !n the amount of sunlight, magnetic con ditions, temperature, rainfall, and at WICHITA, Kansas (UP) The lowly crow is no longer simply sometblnf for a scarecrow to flap Its annlecj sleoves at the bird has a cash yalua.
