MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKL), OREGON. THURSDAY. JUNE 27. 1935. PAGE NINE DESPIS ONCE ARISTOCRAT OF MSEC Present Household Pest Has Oldest Family History in Bugdom Association With Man Degrading BALBOA, C. Z. (TJF) The cocK roach is an aristocrat. He's the present-day representa tive of probably the oldest extant family of Inserts, and he was a very decent tort of a bug until man JUBt ruined him. So asserts Df. A. E. Emerson, here for a study of termites (the cock roach's closest Insect relative). "Three hundred and fifty million years n&o." Dr. Emerson declared, when insects first began to make invasions during the cold period, the cockroaches established themselves. Having the oldest family history among the Insects, they came to America as passengers on the May flower, and they have followed man kind through history. Once Were Decent. 'Cockroaches were very decent un til they became associated with man, who made them rather disgusting. From the cockroaches arose the ter mites, who are similar to the roaches In appearance and behavior. Both are wood-eating Insects, having the same characteristic of being able to digest wood with the aid of the protozoa. The protozoa digest the cellulose and apt free the sugar from which the termite gets it food. Two hundred years ago the termites arose as offshoots of the cock roaches," continued Dr. Emerson. 'We might learn a lesson from the termites." advised Dr. Emerson, "by studying their division of labor and organization, though we might not necessarily emulate them. The three classes are the reproductive caste, the soldiers, and the workers, each attending to its own special duty." No Fighting. Dr. Emerson said he had never aeen an anti-social act performed among the termite colonies. There was no fighting, but many cases oi selfless sacrifice, not the case among human beings. "Termites are the most perfect so cial animals on the face of the earth," Dr. Emerson declared, out of his 15 years study of them. An astonishing fact Dr. Emerson cites about termites is that the queens may live for 50 years, laying 7000 eggs daily? The queen becomes very large, sometimes five inches long, resembling a potato very closely. When the queen is removed from a colony a new queen sometimes de velops from a nymph . by a myste rious transforms tion. During the last two weeks of study on Barro Colorado Island Dr. Emer son discovered a species of soldiers new to Panama, soldiers with queerly shaped mandibles with which they make a distinct clicking sound. It was Dr. Emerson's theory that the clicking sound was a warning to acquaint the rest of the colony with danger near-by. One of Dr. Emerson's problems will be to ana lyze these "clicking" soldiers whose only function seems to be to 6nap their mandibles ro produce a noise. Name postmasters. PORTLAND, June 27.

In long file boxes are kept the records of every man who has ap plied there for work. These files are so cross-indexed that it is possible to find, In but a few minutes, the right man for any kind of job, be it for a plumber, plasterer, carpenter, or an office worker, bookkeeper, architect, engineer or any expert in any of many different occupations. Mr. Ulrlch pointed out today that the office was not only for those who are: in need of work: It la also designed to aid those who have work and don't know where to get the proper man.

Haaktnson WASHINGTON (AP) The "G Men's university" training school for the nation's most famous in vestigators will be opened for the first time this summer to represen tative officers of metropolitan and state police forces. This scientific college of crime de tection of the department of jus tice will offer a full course, by orJer of Attorney General Cummlngs, further to coordinate law enforce ment agencies to provide opportun ity for swapping Ideas gained in hard experience between the unsung local "cop" and the government's ace detectives. For the first time, officers other than special agents in the federal btireau of investigation will receive the elaborate training under Director J. Edgar Hoover that has built up the scientific, college-trained federal force. 12 Weeks of Training Here In the massive stone Justice building, selected officers will learn all that science and experience czn offer men who compete with dan gerous gangsters and criminals. It the course follows that used for novice agents, the officers will re ceive 12 weeks of training in the classrooms and laboratories. They will learn to take finger prints from beer bottles, letters, win dow ledges and auo steering wheels, using vari-coiored powders to bring these out. The "signatures of crim inals" will be photographed with special cameras, or "lifted" with ad hesive tape. Fake murders and kld'naplngs will be staged. "Oscar." the dummy, will be found prostrate on the floor. Nearby may be a gun. note, blood stain, scrap of paper or similar clue. After the students have Investigated the "crime" and prepared their solu tions, the Instructors will hold a post mortem on the evidence. Getting The Evidence . "We teach our men to get all the evidence that will stand In courts," Hoover says. The bureau's record of 04 per cent convictions in difficult cases tried testifies to the skillful training. Learning to manipulate all the high powered weapons needed cope with hoodlums, the students will use a large pistol gallery in the basement of the Justice building and the rifle range of the Quantlco ma rine post a few miles away. Not all of the training is spectac ular. There must be hours of dig- glng study on evidence In embezEle- if ' ' For Hose that Wear buy NOLDE & HORST Ethel wyn B. Hoffmann.

Those "4o and 8" box-cars so dear (?) to the hearts of the American Expeditionary forces in 1917, are being retired from aetlvw service and made into homes for summer railway campers. The French state railways annfl'.nc ed that the "Hommes 40-Chevaux 8" must haw been destined for human habitation after all. Officials won't say whether they got the idea from the war or from the English, who have a similar lda In practice, but at any rat the freight cars are now being turned out as luxurious "hobo wagons." American ex-doughboys would nev er recognize their old friends. By the time the compsny gets through with them there isn't even a horsey amell left. They're white-washed outside and fitted inside like a house-boat, Each car has six beds, a gaa stove, a sink, bedding, chairs and a table. While traveling a whole car costs the prlc of three full third-class fares. Standing attll they coat about $1,30 a day. By stating prospective Itineraries when renting the cars, vacationists or even permanent hoboes, can be sure of gas and water being turned on whenever the car comes to a sta tion. Company rules forbid the use ol the super-elegant freight cara sa ara bles and the first users of the refur bished "40 and 8" were a group of Boy Scouts. r A jack tSy Yl PINT jpjffi 50 WW&.-'AL QUART ments, frauds, perjury, false claims and other complex fields of law en forcement. Auditory Tests While the students are studying, a loud crash may occur in the next room. Half a minute later a second crash may follow; and in a minute a third. By this time the federal in structor will relieve the tension by announcing that the noise la an auditory test, and will ask a de tailed report.

These students learn that the watermark on a paper, the handwriting, the typewriting, a small piece of fiber or measurements at the scene of the crime, rnay be the only key to lta solution. Hoover welcomes the new move aa coordinating federal and local efforts to combat crime. Mark Record Flood THE DALLES. Ore.
