Lcyq Life of Fire Flies Continues To m, i mm Science; li- 3 7?7 DSLOS SMITH U-i'ed Fres-j Cclsr.ce Editor New York f'J.R'--Science re grets to cun'c;s it doesn't fuliy understand the love lives of fire flies. "This time of year, when millions of ti'icm are blinking over every countryside, science hopes something startling and mystery-solving will turn up. It's the .more humiliating be cause on first blush fire fly love seems so simple. The boys mere ly fly around, turning their lights on and off to announce they're available. The girls stay on the ground. When they turn their lights on and then off, it means, come hither. The boys do. But now corne the complica tions. There are more than 60 kinds of fire flies. Their ranges overlap. When you keep in mind that each boy is signaling for his kind of girl, and each girl in vites her kind of boy and none other, you will see fire fly love is anything but simple. Diplomacy Rapped For Postwar Loss Of China To Reds Portland (U.R) Sen. Gordon Allott (R-Colo.) said last night if U. S. diplomacy in postwar China "had been properly guided, the Communists could never have taken control and would not be in control today." He said the Eisenhower ad ministration "inherited a bad and very complex and confused situation in the Far East" but "our recent foreign policy has been effective." Courage Not Enough Allott told the Northwest In stitute of International Relations that the forthcoming "Big Four" talks in Geneva "could conceiv ably test the direction of Soviet intention." But, he said, "wisdom and courage on our part are not enough to guarantee that war will not come. Something else is needed to prevent war sober realization by the antagonist that war would not serve his interests." Allott said that under Presi dent Eisenhower's foreign policy, "The Western Hemis where is today more unified than ever before in history" and and "Western Europe enjoys and improves a unity heretofore re guarded as unattainable." Alliances Formed In the Middle East, he said, "without exception the nations have rejected Communism" and '"certain ones have formed al liances and have accepted part nership with the West." . Allott said "the Far East is an area of great hazard, but the lines have been drawn." He said, "'we and our partners have unit ed and are now holding the Com munist host in check. With cour age and wisdom we may keep him in check." MCDIME . . . for Summertime Play! n IPireiiimnTmnm MfiTlfk It's NATURE'S Most Perfect Food WITH NEARLY Now, with strenuous summer vacation play and activities ahead, youngsters need added pep and energy. It is the timo to drink LOTS of the milk that has such a generous measure of "what it takes" to build hardiness and health. Jorgensen's ALL JERSEY PREMIUM MILK has near 60 MORE energy units per quart than ordinary milk - has MORE VITAMINS above the cream line. MORE calcium protein and sugar below the deep cream line. Drink it at meals and between meals . . : you'll LIKE IT You'll FEEL BETTER! Start SPRING off RIGHTI Ff ashes Aid Never Mixed Up Yet. according to the Ameri can Museum of Natural History, none of the boys and girls of one kind ever seem to get mixed up with boys and girls of any of the other kinds. Science finally decided that each kind of fire fly must have a sense of its own "fire" color and built-in auto matic timers. It was found that the color of the light of one kind of fire fly is a shade different than the light of another kind. And the length of time between flashes of light differs among the various kind. . That made it seem clear that the boy fire fly bobbing and weaving over a pasture gave off a light of precisely the correct color which was spaced precisely right to stimulate this kind of girl to flash the come hither signal. But the light and spacing meant nothing to other kinds of girl fire flies. This also meant, of course, that her come hither signal had to be of the right color and tim ing to attract her kind of boy but no other kind because other wise shed signal down too many boys out of the night sky or inone atalL' So there seemed to be no fur ther question until scientists be gan to notice that the hotter the night, the less time there was between the flashes of light. That was most disconcerting for sev eral reasons. Endless Confusion Unless all kinds of fire flies were affected to precisely the same degree by changes in tem perature, a temperature change would cause endless confusion in any pasture where more than one kind of fire flies happened to be about. If temperature change affected the various kinds unevenly, a temperature change could bring the flash timing of one kind into exact parallel with the flash timing of another kind. Then what? That question is under scien tific investigation. Timing the flashes of more than 60 kinds of fire flies on warm nights, hot nights, and hotter nights is a large chore. And there is another Firelighters Mop Up Klamath Forest Fires Yreka, Calif. (U.R) Fed eral and state firefighters have mopped up the last of some 15 lightning-started fires which have burned in the Klamath na tional forest near the California- Oregon border for the past five days., y-.:. . Fire dispatcher Lee Morford said the fires, last of some 122 blazes caused by electrical storms, were brought under con trol with the aid of a rain show er. In the same period that 33,417 Americans were killed in the Korean campaign, 650,000 Amer icans died of cancer. m MflDHBIE Confusion question: If time intervals be tween flashes varies according to temperature, then both boys I and girls would have to make j allowances for temperature. And that would border on a ; thought process. Science can ! demonstrate beyond quibble that fire flies don't think, and so even the suggestion of a thought process is dangerously unscien tific. There must be some auto matic precess involved like a reflex which hasn't yet been discovered. Hill Sees Free Vaccine Program For All Children i Washington (U.R) Chair man Lister Hill (D-Ala.), today predicted the Senate Labor com mittee would approve a Demo cratic proposal to provide free polio vaccine for all the nation's children. Democrats on the committee have offered the proposal as a substitute for an administra tion bill authorizing the federal government to give $35,000,000 in grants to help states provide the vaccine. Hearings Concluded The labor committee Wednes day ended two days of often sharply partisan hearings on thei two proposals. The hearings in dicated there would be a parti san split on the two bills with the Democratic majority win ning out with their proposal. Hill said he expected to call the committee into executive session within the next few days for a showdown vote on the two proposals. He said he believes the Democratic bill, of which he is a co-sponsor, will be reported out favorably by the committee. Hill at the same time took a jab at the administration, and in particular at Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, secretary of health, edu cation and welfare. "The Democratic bill is so good," he said, "that Mrs. Hob by is trying to get in the image of it." Free-To-Needy Plan Hill referred to the fact that the administration originally had proposed that the federal gov ernment give $28,000,000 to the states to provide free vaccine for any child whose parents could not afford it. In the face of Democratic criticism, Mrs. Hobby earlier this week amend ed the administration proposal to provide assistance to the states to give vaccine to all chil dren needy or not. At the closing hearing, the Democratic proposal was oppos ed as "unnecessary" and "de structive" by the American Med ical association. The AMA also opposed the administration pro posal unless it was restricted to providing free vaccine for needy children.

Use Mail Tribune Want Ads New, Granular HI-PRESS Saves You Time and Here's Why: New HI-PRESS peat moss is entirely dif erent! It's concentrated and granulated but expands many times when wetted. This means that a 70 lb. bag of HI-PRESS covers the same area as a big, awkward bale of regular peat moss. Thus, HI-PRESS helps take the "lift" out of "life"; takes up less valuable storage space. And most important, HI-PRESS can be applied with a fertilizer spreader or by hand . . . Concentrated, granular HI-PRESS pours like sand. AND THAT'S NOT ALL! HI-PRESS Stays Put . Because it's virtually dust-free and because it may be applied with a spreader close-to the ground, HI-PRESS stays out of your eyes; doesn't ruin fresh paint HI-PRESS isn't carted away with your grass clippings. There's less waste with HI-PRESS. Compressed granules of HI-PRESS don't blow away; instead settle down among the roots. And when used as a lawn dressing HI-PRESS isn't picked up by your rake or mower basket HI-PRESS comes in the size that fits your need. Available in 5, 20, 50 and 70 lb. packages. At all leading 'nursery and garden supply stores., SATISFACTION OR YOUR MONEY BACK SPECIAL OFFER I For free sample of HI-PRESS and descrip tive literature, send coupon below to: WIISON t GEO.
