Knight, British naturalist, doesn't worry about food in his leoture tour across two continents, for his travel ing companion, Mister Romshaw, can be depended upon to fetch him a bit of meat a rabbit or a pigeon. Mister Ramshaw, who will not re spond unless called by his full name, is one of the few birds In this coun try trained to falcony. He Is a Scotch golden eagle. "Falconry, which waa practiced In China as early aa 2000 B. O. and was a big social event In England at the time of the Norman oonquest, has languished since firearms came to be used in hunting," says Knight, "Few people have the patlenece to train birds for the sport, 'You walk the floor with a young hawk, when you are training It, more than you do with a baby. For hours at night you must walk with the bird on your arm, gently . stroking its wings. Gradually you accustom the bird to light by taking off lta hood, and then you teach It to respond to the aound of your voice. The easiest way to accustom It to strangers and noises la to take It for walks on the street at night." By a system of careful rewards of raw beefsteak the bird la trained to bring In prey Instead of devouring it. Mister Ramshaw, who loves to trav el and always stays with Knight In his hotel, and attends all his lectures, ranges freely in his home In Kent. England, but always remembers his home address. With Knight the bird has traveled thousands of miles, although In point of age he still Is a babe In arms. The life span of his kind Is about a hun dred years. 4 Pear Market Yesterday NEW VORK, April 13. (AP-USDA) Pear auction: 13 Oregon and two Washington ears arrived; 17 on track.

AIDS NATURALIST ON WORLD TRIPS : DISTILliD 1 'ROM IMPORTED V! 5101 BERRIIS IB mm By Howard W. Blaknlee (Associated Press Science Editor) KAN8A6 OITV, April 14. (AP) Solution of a major puzsla of science, the aouroe of man's internal electric Ity. by discovery that his billions of giant protein molecules are electric dynamoa, was reported to the Amer ican Chemical society here today, These protein molecules the "lean" of the body had been aup posed to be electrically neutral, the same aa fats and sugars. Instead thoy are electro-magnets carrying complex electrical charges When they move they create momen tary electric current like the arma ture of a dynamo. Spark of Life This discovery goes far toward es tablishing electricity as the essential 'apart of life." The electrical charges of proteins were found In 10 years of research at Harvard medical school, and re ported today by Dr. Edwin J. Oohn, professor of biological chemistry. As sociated with him were professors John T. Edsall, Jeffries Wyman, Jr., and Ronald M. Ferry. Cooperating were Dr. Qeorge Scatchard of Massa chusetts Institute of Technology and Dr. John Q. Kir it wood of Cornell. The charges were discovered with Id of two recent branchee of science. radio and the "dlpole moment." Radio waves of 10 to thousands of meters long were used to verify the exist ence of the charges, both positive and negative, on each protein mole cule. The theory of "dlpole moment" showed how molecule with such charges would act .like electro-magnets, with changing potentials cap able of conducting electric currents and with power of producing electric ity when the molecule moved. Ep.ini nn Current The discovery explains the source of electrlo current which flows when muscles are flexed and of the cur rent Impulse by which human nerves transmit their sensory signals. The protein molecules of muscles produce current like dynamos. The protein ONLY PLYMOUTH HAS All THESE SAFETY, ECONOMY ft COMFORT FEATURES! IM Hrdnullc Brakes fia(ty-aStl Body Patent.

LIST AT FACTORY, DETROIT SPECIAL EQUIP BUNT EXTRA "i M X"e, SALEM, Ore., (UP) Peace organi zations on April 31 will honor the memory of Sen. Harry Lane, one of the six senators who defied public opinion by voting against the en trance of the United States Into the World war Censured by his closest friends, ridiculed by newspapers and public speakers and burned In. effigy lu many parts of the country, Lane, along with his five colleagues has been partly vindicated by having many of the principles fought for by the six "die-hards" adopted aa pub lic policy. The six senators are no longer condemned to the "Senate Roll of Dishonor" for their stand of 19 1 years ago. Along with the Oregon senator In refusing to vote for the war resolu tion were Sen. J. Oronna, North Da kota; Sen. Robert M. LaPollette, Wis consin; sen. George W. Norrls. He braska; Sen. William J. Stone, Mis souri and Sen. James K. Vardaman, Mississippi. In answer to the demand of Ore gon's senior senator that he explain his stand, Lane, said. "I cannot vote to throw our country Into a struggle, the final results of which no one la able to foretell. This Is not a war to make the world safe for democracy. It Is a war to make the world safe for greed and profits. After this war there will be leas democracy than ever before." Senator Lane died on his way back to Oregon after the adjournment of congress, friends said of a broken heart.
