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."

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. It was pointed
out, are sites of six once-populous
aboriginal villages.
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. Remains rot what probably was
an ancient temple were uncovered on
one building site.
Larger mounds, Dr. Roberts said,
disclosed no artifacts or skeletal ma
teriala distinct peculiarity. 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.
Date or Identity of the tribal In
habitants has not been determined,
although It is believed they were
proto-MuBkhogeans, from whom
evolved the highly cultured Indians
encountered by the first white ex
plorers In the Gulf States.
and in Wyoming for erection of a
memorial museum on the battlefield

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.

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

of radio recepton and telegraphic
communication, and wholesale de
struction of insects, Including grass
hoppers. The aun spot period comes every
