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

"Perhaps in time." says the com

Gadgets Do the Chores
Statistics are not available con
cerning the scope of displacement of
domestic workers by household labor

opportunities for kitchen artisans.
Take the "electric eye." or photo

Perhaps some future congress and

But these labor-saving gadgets pre

Monkeys Are Guinea Pigs
In War Against Paralysis
By Howard . 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.

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.
