"They small terrible," accord ing to state Rep. Leo Madden, who is concerned with the boun ty situation. If you live according to the letter of the law in Minnesota, you must produce the front feet of a pocket gopher to collect a bounty. For a striped or grey gopher, it's necessary to turn ov er all four feet to the chairmanj of a town board to collect the bounty. For decades though, gopher hunters have been winking at the law and collecting bounties by producing only the tail, and Madden thinks it's about time to legalize the long practice. He has introduced a bill to accomp lish that. "Even the tail smells bad enough," he said. The second highest coal mine In the world and the highest in the U.S. is believed to be the Fioresta which is located nearby Crested Butte, Colo! Bodies of Two Men Found Near Garberville Garberville, Calif. (U.R) The bodies of two men, who have been missing for more than a week on a trip from San Fran cisco to Eureka, were found about noon yesterday in their wrecked car which had gone off a densely wooded grade about three miles north of here. The victims were Fred Zimer ling, 40, San Lorenzo, a winch operator, and Hugh McDonald, 35, Eureka, vice president of the International Longshoremen and Warehousemens Union. Good Christmas Trees May Be Hard To Get Portland U.R) A good Christmas tree may be harder to come by this year. Reports from foresters and commercial Christmas tree grow ers indicated the recent deep freeze in the Pacific Northwest did considerable damage to the Christmas tree stocks. In Portland, there also were reports of extensive damage to roses. Portland park bureau of ficials said exposed bushes may be a total loss. Extra Safely Test For Salk Vaccine Washington U.R) Parke Davis has secretly developed a system of ultra violet radiation to provide an extra measure of safety in Salk polio vaccine. Informed sources said this is one reason why vaccine output at the big Detroit firm has been stalled for months. Parke Davis scientists want to be sure their safety system is working perfect ly before they put the serum back on the market. Salk vaccine output has been lagging badly. Surgeon General Leonard A. Scheele said last week the lag probably will con tinue into December. But he pre dicted that production will be gin to increase after that and reach "a more consistent level" about February. Since the government's safety standards were overhauled May 26, the Public Health Service has released only 18,300,000 doses. Some of this was supplied by Pitman-Moore and Wyeth but the great bulk came from Eli Lilly.

Dr. Richard M. Sutton, profes sor of physics at Haverford Col lege, figured out that the walk ing feet move more than three times faster than the body which they are carrying. 4.1 Miles Per Hour Now say you're walking at an ordinary rate of 120 steps a minute and each step i three feet long. Each foot stays on the ground one-half second, and then moves forward six feet and comes to rest for another half second. All of you, in this case, is mov ing forward at a speed of 4.1 miles an hour. But the speed of the moving foot as it passes the stationary foot is at a rate of 12.5 miles an hour. What's more, those feet aren't being picked up and put down without effort ever because they're moving against gravity and that's no small force to over come. A "G" is the unit of meas urement of this force, and most plane pilots black out at 7 G's. Professor Sutton calculated that the moving foot overcomes 3.7 G's. Sprained Ankle His thoughts were turned to G's while he was learning to walk normally as he recovered from his sprained ankle. "I no ticed an unexpected twinge of pain just as my foot left the, ground and was being swept for ward while there was no weight resting on it," he said. The G's were causing the pain. When people are walking, the ground comes into play, too. One or the other foot is supporting the entire weight of the body. When the body weight is thrust upward at the start of each new step, the ground is exerting a force on the body greater than the body's own weight. These opposing weights result in a compressive force on the shin bone, and Professor Sutton figured this force is three to four times body weight. It depends on the size and the shape of the OPEN WEDNESDAY NIGHT UNTIL 9:00 O'CLOCK Your ealer PIPITS LOWEST PI DC THE NEW y l)ISllJUfUv Automatic The NEW BENDIX Is- Jt SAFE Anything washed in your washer is SAFE te this Bendix Dryer!

His own feet. with which he did his figuring, are 10 inches from toe to heel and that, he said, is "definitely a sub-standard foot." Greatly Multiplied "Under severe muscular stress, he said, these forces would be greatly multiplied. He took a jumper who is giving his body enough upward velocity to raise the center of body mass four feet "in a mighty one-legged push lasting about 0.5 seconds." ' The compression on the shin bone of this hypothetical 175-pound jumper would then be about 1,150 pounds, or more than half a ton. Along with these facts, Pro fessor Sutton figured out a new parlor trick. It is to pick out a victim at a party, have him stand against the edge of an open door, with his nose and stomach touch ing. Then tell him to stand on tip-toe. He can't do it because to do it, he has to shift his weight The canal locks of Sault Ste Marie have handled about 4,288, 000,000 tons of freight since the route was opened to lake boats 100 years ago. There were 128, 000,000 tons in 1953. Christmas Seals to fight tuber culosis were sold by 48 countries in all parts of the world in 1954. forward and the door prevents that. The victim's "feeling of complete frustration is immedi ate and startling, said Dr. Sutton. His findings were published in a technical journal of the Amer ican Institute of Physics. Wife May Ask Divorce From New Home Site Salem (U.R) The Oregon Supreme Court held yesterday that a wife may acquire a domi cile or home site separate from that of her husband and sue for divorce in the county of her new home. Mary Vila Smith filed suit for divorce from Raymond L. Smith of Grant county. Mrs. Smith left her husband's home in Grant county and moved to Multnomah county. The high court, in an opinion by Justice Walter L. Tooze, held that a wife may acquire a dom icile separate from that of her husband for the purpose of juris diction over the subject matter of a suit for divorce and held that the trial court erred in sus taining the motion to quash- the service of summons and in dis missing the suit. It sent the case back to the Multnomah county court of Circuit Judge Virgin H. Langtry for further proceedings. American Official On Visit To Peru Lima, Peru (U.R) U. S. Assistant Secretary of State Henry F. Holland arrived Tues day for a two day visit to Peru. Holland was accompanied by Samuel Waught, president of the Export-Import bank, and American government officials. The group has already visited Colombia and Ecuador and' will continue on to Bolivia, Chile Food production per hour of farm labor has more than dou bled in the past 30 years chiefly because of the advance of farm I machinery. Americans spend about $9, 000,000,000 a year for automo bile vacation trips. The estimated figure includes all expenses such as gas, oil, hotels, food and other miscellaneous costs. and Argentina before returning to Washington. HI III" I III Mil Mill MMIIH Wll M III Ml M !
