Dead Gopher's Feef
'Smell Terrible'
St. Paul (U.R) Have you
ever smelled the feet of a dead
gopher?
"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.

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.

Sprained Ai
Facts in Simple Act of Walkina
w
By DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York (U.R) Because a
professor sprained his ankle, sci
ence has been enriched with new
and easy facts about the simple
act of walking.
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

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

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.
