ELECTRIC PIG IS SEEN AS MENACE BY GARBAGE IN Collectors Fear Competition From New Home Gadget Husbands Deprived of Exercise by Robots. By Preston Grover WASHINGTON Latest "wise-cracker" suggestion from Capitol- hill: It looks as If there might be another of those dreaded-by-congresa marches on Washington by a new division in the army of the unemployed the garbage collectors of the nation. rendered Jobless by the "electrical pig." The mechanical porker, as you probably know. Is a kitchen sink accessory which grinds to a fine pulp all kinds of food wast such as peel ings, scrapings from dishes and bones in fact, everything except bottles and tin cans and, of course, the silverware and disposes of them down the kitchen drain. Already the technological seers of the national resources committee, who are studying the course of Inventions- and their social Implica tions, see the electrical pig casting the sinister shadow of technological employment over the country's bat talions of garbage handlers. "Perhaps in time." says the com mittee, "this electrical pig may se riously affect those persons now employed In the garbage disposal industry.' Gadgets Do the Chores Statistics are not available con cerning the scope of displacement of domestic workers by household labor saving machines, but the rapid de velopment of these devices undoubt edly is a potential factor in Job opportunities for kitchen artisans. Take the "electric eye." or photo electric cell, alone. This new tech nological brat n-ch lid has been creep ing silently Into our lives. And its ultimate social Import, say the com mittee experts, cannot now bo esti mated. While Its principal applica tions are in Industry, it Is performing more and more magic functions In the home. Tills mechanical servant already raises and closes windows, automati cally turns on and off night lights around the house, operates the door between dining room and kitchen, shakes the furnace grates, controls uniform illumination in working rooms, opens the refrigerator door and even seta off a kidnaping alarm In the nursery. Perhaps some future congress and the American Federation of Labor, or the C. I. O.. may consider It hu mane and expedient to take steps to protect the cooks, dishwashers and dusters from these heartless robots. But these labor-saving gadgets pre sent another problem for a problem burdened society: What, particularly In the cities, is going to happen to our good old American family life. The dads of today, especially those who are office workers, are getting softer in middle age for want of muscle-toning Jobs around the house. Those "character building" chores for Johnny and Mary are almost extinct. We'll He Undone With the passing of the barn and woodpile, not to mention mechanical furnaces, dish-washers and rug beat ers, urban parents long have been lamenting the dearth of outlets at home for juvenile energy.

Rlakrulee AP Science Editor PALO ALTO. Calif. Two Stan ford university scientists propose a new nasal spray to curb the outbreak of Infantile paralysis w'.iich has been moving in mild form northeastward from Texas through Ohio and Ken tucky. Nasal sprays two years ago proved to be a complete protection against monkeys catching the disease. One of these sprays, picric acid, notable 1 n warti me explosives, was tried on human beings in Alabama last summer. The experiment showed that a lay man cannot well protect himself by spraying with an atomizer. Medical skill was needed to place the spray In exactly the right spot. More effec tive sprays were also sought and this the Caltfornlans report they have apparently discovered. The new spray Is zinc sulphate. It is familiar as an eye wash. But for infantile paralysis prevention it Is given in a concentration painful unless a local anesthetic Is used. The Callfornlans, E. W. Schuitz, M. D., and L. P. Gebhardt. report they have now found an anesthetic, pontocalne, which does not harm the spray. The picric acid used last summer they found to afford continued pro tection for a month after spraying. But the zinc sulphate on rhesus monkeys has remained effective two and sometimes three months. "The remarkable protection." they report, "in animals sugesta the de sirability of carrying the Investiga tion over to man. We say 'investi gation' advisedly, for it does not necessarily follow that the results which have been obtained In mon keys apply equally to man." Nose sprays offer at present the as obsolete as the use of whale oil now Is. Scientists of the national resources committee explain that this may be accomplished through the use of synthetic luctferin, which when oxidized by the air gives cold firefly's lltjht diffused, nut glaring, and involving no fire risk, wiring or electricity. Or there may be, they say, lumi nescent paint which would store up sunlight during the day to glow with various colors during the night. Yet in the 1840 s the bathtub v;a denounced In the United States as an epicurean Innovation from Eng land designed to corrupt the demo cratic simplicity of the republic. Our corruption proceeds at a terrific pace. $185 IS T0PPRICE AT OPENING OF RAM SALE SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 25.

LVhTA WW Refugees Polio Cases Gain WASHINGTON. ) Infantile paralysis cases throughout the country are up more than 200 per cent from last year, the United States public health service re ports. Total number of cases in 10 representative states during the week ended July 31 was 261, com pared with only 44 oases In the same states flurlng the corre sponding week of 1036. Public health service surgeons taid, however, that the figures did not indicate an epidemic of the disease. ' "There Is usually an Increase in the incidence of infantile paraly sis during August and September." they said, "and apparently the seasonal rise started somewhat earlier than usual." only scientific hope of preventing this child scourge. In monkeys it has been demonstrated completely that the paralysis attacks only through the nose. It enters through the nerves of smell. -whose endings, tiny "hairs' are the only exposed nerves of the body. Physicians regard It aa almost cer tain that human beings also catch the paralysis only through these same nerves. The disease is known to travel in the nerves, end to affect only nerves This Is the reason why Immune serum is not always an effective preventive. The serum has to be given In the blood. It causes forma tion of protective substances, anti bodies, but they do not get into the nerves, or at least no quickly enough. 28 Drivers Herded Into G. Pass Court GRANTS PASS. Aug. 28.

TO HEAR REPORT ON RECENT BILL Representatives of 18 Coun ties to Gather in Rose burg Thursday Wli! Consider New Problems ROSEBURG, Ore., Aug. 25. -(API-Representatives from the 18 land grant counties in Oregon will meet in Roseburg Thursday to receive the final report on the O. and C. land grant bill, recently passed by con gress, Attoruey Guy Cordon, legal advisor for the association of coun ties announced today. The meeting will give considera tion to problems expected to arise out of transferring the lands to a sustained yield basis and new form of payment to the counties. The matter of a final audit under th provisions of the Stanfleld act, by which the lands have been adminis tered, but which was repealed by the new bill, aUo will be considered. Cordon said. Claims Accumulate. The Stanfleld act provided annual payments to the counties in lieu ol taxes, and money was advanced from the treasury each year until 1933. when a new ruling went into eflect that payments would be made only from receipts. Aa the Income has failed to meet the annual claims ot the counties, there has accumulated approved claims of approximately $2, 000.000. The federal treasury now has about $800,000 in the O. and C. account with which to pay 1934 claims ag gregating $500,000, Cordon reports. It Is expected the 1B35 claims will be paid by March 1, 1938, leaving $1,000,000 to be paid after the new bill becomes effective on that date. To Pay Hulam-e hue. The new administrative measure provides that the counties shall be paid 50 per cent of the gross Income from the lands. An additional 25 per cent of the receipts shall be used to pay off the balance due under the Stanfleld act. until the delin quency Is retired, after which that portion shall so to the federal treas ury to reimburse the government for the sums previously advanced. After the federal deficit la retired, this 25 per cent Is to be paid to the coun ties. In addition to the 50 per cent payment. The federal government will retain 25 per cent 'or adminis trative purposes. K. F. COUNCIL AVERTS FOOD HANDLER STRIKE KLAMATH FALLS, Aug. 26.
