seldom that they cannot find the ans

practice of Jotting the questions
down. When enough of them have
been recorded, the questions may be
classified and correlated to determine
what the public la most generally In

FALCONRY EAGLE
CHICAGO (UP) Capt. Charles
R. 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

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

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.
