to subdue Mrs. Barbara Mimch.
24, after she barricaded herself
in her home and began blasting
away at houses in the area. Po
lice finally routed her with tear
gas and found five different guns
in the home.
Bullets shattered the wind
shield of a police car and hit
surrounding homes. Officers es
timated she fired 50 rounds from
two shotguns, a .22 rifle, an au
tomatic pistol and an eight milli
meter Mauser automatic while in
her home.
"Actually, I couldn't hit the
broadside of a barn, Mrs. Mi
hich told officers as she was
booked on suspicion of assault
with a, deadly weapon. "I was
sore at my husband because he
gave me a short haircut."
The bride of four months said
she opened fire after fuming for
several hours over her haircut.
She said she let her husband
William, 35, trim her hair be
cause he promised to do a good
job.
Her husband, a cement con
tractor, who was forced to take
cover along with police and
neighbors, declared:
"She wasn't shooting at me,
she was just shooting away her
temper."
Cure for Cancer of
Prostate Expected
Chicago (U.R) The time may
come when cancer of the pros
tate can be cured with injections
of radioactive gold or yttrium ex
perimenting Northwestern Uni
versity physicians have an
nounced. Writing in the current issue of
the Journal of Urology, three
physicians report the materials
have possibilities, but as yet sev
eral problems must be solved.
The three doctors are George
J. Bulkley, assistant professor of
urology; John A. D. Cooper, as
sociate professor of biochemis
try, and Vincent J. O'Conor, pro
fessor and chairman of urology.
One drawback in the injection
method is that the doses cannot
be evenly distributed over the
cancerous area. Wherever the
radioactive rays strike, the dis
eased tissue is destroyed, but as
yet the doctors are finding over
exposure from the rays in some
places and not enough in others.
Yttrium has an advantage over
gold, the doctors said, because it
radiates only cancer - fighting
beta rays and not the gamma
rays, which are dangerous to
both patient and doctor.
Of 34 patients with cancer of
the prostate, about one-half "re
ceived some benefit" from injec
tion of radioactive gold. Only
five patients have received radio
active yttrium, with results com
parable to that of gold.
Is That So?
Is there no end to the wonder I
of birds?
The extinct elephant bird of
Madagascar must have weighed
in at 1,000 pounds, half a ton,
judging from the remains of its
massive skeleton which has been
found. Its, eggs, measuring up to
13 inches long, probably weigh
ed 18 pounds. Needless to say,
it did not fly but quite likely
it inspired yarns of the fabulous
Roc. Remember Sinbad the
Sailor.
Perhaps the largest flying
bird today is the bustard, an
Asian bird. It weighs around
30 pounds and is capable of sus
tained flight.
For its body size, the New
Zealand kiwi lays the largest
egg known: the egg weighs one
pound, the bird four pounds!
The incubation of this egg lasts
75-80 days, the longest bird in
cubation that I know of. Though
fully feathered when it steps
out of the egg, the chick takes
3 to 4 years to mature.
The loon's legs are placed so
far back on its body that it is
unable to walk on land and
must push itself forward on its
breast. This means, of course,
that they are unable to take
flight from land. Even on water
they need a long pattering take
off. When sometimes driven to
earth by storms during migra
tory flights, they are helpless:
such a forced landing usually
spells death. Once air-borne,
they fly strongly.
What is the most valuable
bird in the world today? Ob
viously, the domesticated chick
en probably the first bird to
become a "friend" of man. In
terms of human food of animal
origin, poultry husbandry is sec
ond in importance only to dairy
products. In the U.S., it is a
billion-dollar industry.
Cormorant Most Valuable
As for wild birds? Many per
form heroically ridding the
land of ants, insects, and both
orchard and crop pests. But
from a financial-return point of
view and the most valuable is
quite likely the Peruvian cor
morant, one of the chief pro
ducers of guano fertilizer, a
multi-million dollar industry. As
As fertilizer, guano is said to be
30 times more effective than
ordinary farmyard manure. The
Incas of old in Peru knew this
and brought guano in by ship
from the islands to the main
land. This enabled them to raise
flourishing crops on hillsides
that would otherwise have re
mained barren.
What's the biggest bite known
among birds? Quite likely, the
adjutant-general stork's of Af
rica and Indian. This huge, ugly
bird walks about as stiffly as
its namesake and can swallow
objects as large as a full-grown
rabbit. So phenomenal are its
powers of digestion that it can
swallow good-sized bones with
no ill effect. Other birds, such
as owls, regurgitate bones.
Many geese mate for life and
if successful in escaping hunter
and other enemies may live for
30 years or more.
The martial eagle, a relative
of our golden eagle, usually has
two young that is, to begin
with. They are so pugnacious
that eventually one gets the
upper 'hand and kills its nest
mate. Suitable to Task
In many zoos and game farms,
the little bantam hens are used
to hatch out pheasant eggs and
to rear the young pheasants.
They have quiet, confiding na
tures very suitable to this task.
Doves' feathers are loosely at
tached, especially on the back.
Why? One theory is that this is
a life-saving adaption. When a
y IUGINI BURNS
Rangtr-Naturalitt
falcon swoops upon a fleeing
pigeon a cloud of feathers is
loosened and in the ensuing con
fusion the pigeon occasionally
makes good its escape.
Back in the days when our
passenger pigeons migrated in
8-8 -S
flocks, miles long, darkening the
sky, and taking hours to pass a
given point, one of America's
great ornithologists Alexander
Wilson estimated that one
flock he saw at Frankfort, Ky.,
about 1808, numbered two bil
lion birds!

Misspelling Puzzles
Home Plan Examiner
Milwaukee (U.R) It was a
case of misspelling rather than
an architectural innovation in
behalf of romance.
Charles Schultz, a plan exam
iner in the city building inspec
tor's office, was puzzled for a
moment while looking at blue
prints of a new house.
The designer had printed the
word "lovers" on the drawing,
near the peak of the roof.
Schultz thought, "probably a
perch from which to watch the
moon."
But further study turned up
the word "loovers" on another
part of the drawing. Schultz got
the clue. What the designer in
tended were openings to permit
air circulation between the roof
and ceiling in the attic "louvers".
CAT FIRE
Greeley, Neb. (U.R) A fire
in the home of Miss Francis
Snell was blamed on her cat.
The pet had encountered some
burning trash that set fire to
its fur and then run into the
house in panic. Little damage
was done to the house. The cat
died. - - - - -
