WASHINGTON. D. C. (Spl.) If by
chance you still are skeptical about
old Mother Earth being really round,
amazing photograph from the atrt
osphere may soon convince you be
yond all doubt.
Four hundred years after Magel
lan's voyage, daring explorers in the
National Geographic-Army Air Corps
stratosphere balloon are planning
new proof that the world Is rouna.
this time by photographs taken high
above the earth Instead of by sailing
laboriously around It.
When the balloon soars Into the
sky from the South Dakota Black
Hills, soon. It la planned to obtain
photographs that will show the cur
vature of the earth nn the horizon,
snapped from altitudes up to 14
mllea or more.
A large Fairchtld aerial camera, de
signed to "see" farther than the hu
man eye, will taka the pictures thru
a hole In the gondola wall. It will
penetrate the htize near the horizon
with the aid of the invisible infra
red rays of light, using film especially
sensitive to these rays.
The curvature of the earth has
been photographed before by Capt.
Albert W. Stevens, commander and
scientific observer of the flight. In
1930. in South America, from an air
plane at a height of 21,000 feet, he
made the first photogrnph which
shows the earth's curvature laterally.
Photographs of the horizon from
the stratosphere, moro than three
times as high, however, should in
clude a much broader sweep of coun
try and hence show the curvature
more plainly.
How the corth would look to a visi
tor from Mnra, at least when he near
ed the end of his trip, will be re
vealed by photographs taken straight
downward during the stratosphere
flight. A Falrchlld aerial camera In
the bottom of the gondola will snap
pictures of the earth every 1' min
utes. These not only will show how ,the
earth looks from great heights but
will be usea in computing what
height the balloon had reached at
the time each picture was taken.
They also will reveal the speed and
direction of the bnlloon's drift, which
can be calculated from landmarks
shown In each photo and from watch
faces and compass dials photographed
simultaneously.

NEW YORK (UP) Branding fear
fads In eating and drinking aa arch
enemies to the well being of the
American public, Dietrich P. Fischer.
food research chemist, forecasts an
early return to uninhibited eating
supported by common sense. He de
clares that science has shown diet
ing fads, with their attendant "do's
and don'ts" and "musts and mustn'ts"
to have built up a psychological con
dition which haa worked as a detri
ment to many.
"This condition of the Individual
at meal times Is as important as the
food and drink consumed." Fischer
said. "Sit down to a meal In a happy
frame of mind, banish food fears and
t worries, and your digestive and other
vital organs will treat you well. A
well balanced meal, consisting of a
meat, vegetables, a sweet, cheese or
fruit, and a cup of hot beverage Is
then more enjoyable than tolerable.
"Science recently has exiled the
danger t of the consumption of fish
and ice cream at the same meal,
and orange Juice and milk, now re
garded as Important factors In s
healthful breakfast. Tomato Juice,
once regarded aa poisonous, now Is
even recommended for infants. And
tea, regarded with apprehension by
many, when taken In quantities, haa
proved by experiments to be harm
less." At the Chemical Institute's ter-,
centenary meeting of the American
Chemical society, Fischer reported
that three generations of white rats
thrived on black tea. Hta research
Indicated that the animals drank
more than seven per cent of their
body weight In tea, dally.
The experiment was made on white
rata because of their similarity In
nutritional requirements and meta
bolism to human beings.
WASHINGTON. June 28. (AP)
Lawrence Went brook, assistant relief
administrator, asserted today diffi
culties In the Matanuska valley,
Alaska colony, were caused by "agita
tors." Westbrook, who supervised estab
lishment of the colony, said a report
received today said 00 per cent of the
300 families "are satisfied with ttwlr
lot and determined to see the project
through."
He added that Leo Jacobs, super
vising architect, had reported that
"ten per cent of the number are re
sponsible for the stories of unrest oe
inir sent from the valley and they
constitute a group of 'agitators who
are Idle'."
"With the arrival of Eugene Carr,
FERA representative, at Palmer yes
terday," Westbrook added, "I expect
an early settlement of any real or
fancied grievances which colonists
may have."

TALK IS REVIVED
Talk Is again being revived In the
Interests of a municipal swimming
tank for this city, with enthusiasm
being expressed by many, and with
at least one prominent business man
stating that he Is willing to donate
$250 to see the dream come true.
One service club la reported as
seriously considering an active par
ticipation in the project, having
had a standing committee consider
ing the plana for some time. There
seems to be two achoois of thought
In the city, as to Just where such
a pool should be built, with the
majority believing that it ahould be
constructed at the playground near
the Main street bridge. The other
school believes that It ahould be
constructed on the east side of the
town, to depend upon the run-on
from the old city reservoir for Its
water supply, a survey shows.
Plans for the project are still very
tentative.

IS EASY WITH WAX
MONTREAL. (UP) The skin you
will love to touch in future will be
that of a dead chicken.
For science has evolved a new
method of plucking which leaves a
chicken's akin as smooth as a baby's
chin. The secret lies In giving the
birds a "wax bath."
The new process was demonstrated
to Montreal poultry dealers by Dr.
N. H. Grance of the National Re
search Council of Canada.
Armed with a couple of galvanized
Iron tanks and 30 pounds of specially
prepared wax. Dr. Grace showed the
audience plucking that was plucking.
While several hundred dtalers
watched, he dipped a roughly dressed
chicken Into a special liquid wax at
a temperature ranging between 125
and 130 degrees, pulled It out, lec It
cool off and then scraped off the wax.
The fowl dealers examined the fin
ished product in wonder. Not a ves
tige of hair or feather could be found
and the skin was as smooth as a
healthy schoolgirl's.

KEPT OLD WORLD
CASTE TRADITION
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (UP) Prof.
James G, Leybury, Yale sociologist,
has shattered the popular belief
that the Puritan leaders were chiefly
concerned with establishing equality
when they founded the Massachu
setts Bay colony.
"Instead of throwing off the be
draggled garments of Europe and
starting life afresh In the wilder
ness, they liked many of them and
tried to keep them even when they
were In rags." he revealed tn
study of pioneers.
"When a group of people leave
an old and settled country to start
life again upon the frontier." he
wrote, "they ordinarily do not wish
to give up all their accustomed snd
familiar ways. On the contrary, they
wish to keep as much as they can of
the old civilization, merely chang
ing those parts of It which seemed
to them disadvantageous.
"To the Puritan leaders there was
a natural aristocracy, composed of
the clergymen and the small group
of 'gentlemen' who stood squarely
with the clergy In this theocracy.
This new land, they held, ahould be
ruled only by God'a elect. Early
magistrates came from this class.
Students at Harvard were listed and
seated, not In alphabetical order,
but according to their 'dignities.'
"Merchants and traders ranked
next to the aristocrats, and after
these the skilled laborers, generally
freeholders, who did most of the
work of society. Many of them se
cured a vote by nieetlng property
qualifications."
Next in order Prof. Leyburn Hated
unskilled workers, indentured ser
vants, Negroes and Indians.
"These claaa distinctions." he said,
"were carried out In the allotment
of town lands, of church pews and
even the work of establishing the
new settlements on the frontier.
Various other practice were based
upon them: the punishment ot
whipping was not administered to
the gentry; titles of Master and
Mistress were sccorded to them only;
women of the lower class could not
wear silk unless their husbands were
worth 200 pounds.
"The whole tradition was against
democracy and yet It prevailed."
will be presented.
Success of the Bible school this
year la due to fine co-operation
between scholars, parents, and teach
ers. Increasing Interest was shown
by increasing attendance and enroll
ment. In spite of those leaving on
vacations the percentage Increase of
attendance was higher than the per
centage increase of enrollment. Tne
faculty, too. gave their services free.
