In November, 1783, a few monthe after the first Mongofller balloon had rlaen from the public place of Ann onay, Kozlur and the Marqula d'Ar landee left the park of the Chateau of the Muette In a balloon. Twenty minutes later, they landed In the out skirts of Paris, at the Butte-aux-Oallles. In June, 1784, Pllatre de Rozler re newed his attempt with Proust, the chemist, and In three-quarters of an hour they traveled from Versailles to Ohantllly, about 40 miles. Encouraged by the suoceas of his first attempts, Rozler decided to cross the channel. In June, 1788, he had built an apparatus, composed of two superimposed balloons, one of which contained hydrogen and the other not air. On the morning of June 18, Rozler and the physician Romaln went up. but pushed by contrary winds, the balloon flew over tne snore, ana k complete the disaster, the taffeta of the hydrogen balloon' ripped open, and caught fire. Rozler and his com panion were hurled out of the basket and crushed to death In the fall to earth. Pllatre de Rozler wr. 28 and Romaln a little younger.

Another commemorative stamp will be Issued to honor the memory of Andre Marie Ampere, creator of the electro-dynamic theory whose name was given to the unit of .current. Ampere was born In Lyons In 1775. Never having attended school, he spent his childhood and youth In the small libraries of hie home town.

After his father had died on the guillotine, he gave up his rev olutionary Ideas and became a pro feeeor of experimental phyLsca at the College of Prance. Philosopher as well as mathematician, Ampere wrote sev eral philosophical and mathematical books, and a biography, containing love letters he wrote during the three years he waa engaged to Julie Oaron.

MOSCOW (UP) 61noe aviation has become a sport In the Soviet, 138 aero clubs have been organized through out the oountry by young men and women. Light, two-seater monoplanes of ttie very latest design are much In demand and aeronautical engineers are kept busy building 'economical yet safe fllwer planes to meet the demands. Last summer these Soviet aero dubs took to the air on a long distance mass flight over the nation, covering bout 3.000 miles. They plan a almllar flight this summer. The designers expected to oonstruct new lightweight aircraft for this summer's aerial Junket will hold a conference in this elty early this year to discuss the itinerary of the plan ned flight and the probable design ot the new planes. .

LEPROSY PERILS ARE DISCOUNTED BY LATEST TEST . BERKELEY, Cal. (UP) Effort to keep allvo the causative organism of leprosy have virtually established the fact that the dLeeaae la not oontegi- That is the conclusion of Dr. A. J. Salle, assistant profeaeor of bacter iology at the University of California. Talcing aa a basla for his work clin ical tests that had been made at the Kallhl Leprosy hospital, on the out skirts of Honolulu, Dr. Salle success fully checked them for six months at the Federal loprosarlum at Carvllle, La. , The original experiments at the Honolulu institute were directed to ward keeping alive the causative or ganism of leprosy for & sufficiently long period to study Its development and possibilities of treatment. Along these lines considerable progress has been made. It was these experiments that Dr. Salle rcchcoked at CarvlUe, La. Bao- teria token from 11 subjects not only produced the same results In each case, but Identical results with those obtained at Honolulu. The organisms removed from living subjects by Dr. Salle were placed In embryonto chicken . tissue culture. These embryos wore drawn from fer tile egg, prepared by mincing and converted Into a culture In biological fluids. The leprosy organisms were placed In this culture and have survived there, thus giving opportunity for definite Identification and the pos sible development of tt curative agent. , Efforts to Incubate leprosy germs In human beings and animals by the ; usual means for the most part have been unsuccessful. It Is this fact that has established the conclusion that the disease probably Is not contag ious. While medication in leprosy has been widely different and generally dlscour axing. It Is believed that as a result of the present experiments In keeping the organism alive under lab oratory conditions progress can now be made In the curative field.

"OlDfSf NUrrONAl BANK WfSf Of Trlf KOdCIII' f i1ral UKtt lnumnc Corportkw MEDFORD ATT YALE ENFORCES ECONOMY AS NEW HAVEN, Oonn. (UP) Yale University had a net excess of ex penses over income of 1.03382.39 for the 1934-35 fiscal year, according to the report of Treasurer George Parmly Day, and a retrenchment pro gram in every department of the uni versity has been ordered by President Jamea Rowland Angell, who fore casts "hard sledding" for Yale for the next two years. A heavy cut in the income of the university from its funded invest ments has brought about a critical situation, according to Dr. Angell. The unlvorslty'a budget was cut 000,000 last year, and a further re duction In the next budget la now under way. Sixty per cent of the uni versity's Income la from its Invest ments, the rest coming from tuition and other payments. The first retrenchment move has resulted in the resignation from the staff of the Yale Medical School of Dr. Wlnthrop Morgan Phelps, noted orthopedist, and head of the depart ment of orthopedlo eurgery since 1933. Two other members of the medical school staff, Dr. Merrill K. Lindsay, widely known expert on the treat ment of fractures, and Dr. Denis O' Connor, noted authority on Joint In juries, In the future will subordin ate their teaching to private practice, due to the fact that the condition of the university's finances haa made it necessary to hold up regular grade advances for faculty members. The combination of Dr. Phelps and his two assistants haa been regarded as one of the most outstanding in the oountry In the treatment ot or thopedic conditions resulting from in fantile paralysis and childbirth. Dr. Phelps la particularly noted for his method of treating birth Injuries and the results of his studies in the treatment of conditions resulting from Infantile paralysis are In general use by surgeons throughout the country. The financial report of the univer sity ahows that the school of medi cine alone suffered a debit balance of M59.378.ll for the 1934-33 fiscal period. A cut of ass.000 in the appropria tion of the university library budget haa been ordered, which will mean the dismissal of several staff assistants sa well aa a cut in the number of books which oan be added. It has been reported unofficially that a large number of instructors in the English department will not have their con tracts renewed at the end of the col lege year, while several other depart ments likewise will be cut. Several university buildings used for classrooms and offices of instruc tors have been closed, due to econ omy measures, and orders have gone out to all concerned to economize even on lights and water, PHOTOS ISo Veaslev's 8iudio CLEAN EVERYTHING WITH THIS COMPLETE HOME CLEANING EQUIPMENT H0DSECLEANINO won't hold any terrors for you, if you have one of the three fine Hoovers and the cleaning tools that accompany every one.

DANCER OF DEATH IN SILICATE DUST BY TESTS TOLEDO (UP) Experiments have proved to the satisfaction of James H. Boyd, scientist and lawyer, that si llcate dust, breathed Into the lungs, eventually may cause death by strangulation. The congressional investigation Into alleged silicosis deaths on the Gau ley Bridge, W. Va., project, recalled to Boyd coses in which -he represent. ed victims of silicosis in Ohio courts several years ago. Although Boyd carried the cases from the Ohio Industrial Commis sion to the Ohio supreme court, his clients were not compensated. Chemists, whom Boyd retained, found means of showing that Inha lation of dust into the lungs caused condition of tissue consolidation which could result in death. Working on Boyd's cases, chemists Incinerated at high temperature a sample of the consolidated, or hard ened, lung. In a lung tissue weigh ing 20 grams, were found eight grams of dust particles, according to Boyd. This dust had spread through the lungs, producing a black pigmenta tion, Boyd said, and had caused the consolidation of lung tissue, decreas ing the lung area, and, according to analysis, resulting finally in death by asphyxiation. 4 Buckingham's tee Cream.

"On the basis of 1934 prices the late-model cow cleared 364 above feed costs." he says. "On this same basis the 1925 cow would htve cleared 53 or 313 less. "If dairy herd Improvement asso ciation farmers had obtained no bet ter production in 1934 thay they did In 1925, the total net return above feed costs In 1934 would have been 3240.000 less for the 20,000 member cows of the state." Because of a shortage of feed fol fowlng the 1934 drought, Cash says that average production for 1936 v."(ts somewhat less than In 1934.
