The diety-image, in a pose like that of a dog beg ging for a bone, is the first of Hp kind to be unearthed. Although it has remained buried for six or seven cen turies, the image may be re lated to underworld ceremo nies that are still part of the religion of . today's Hopi In dians. Nine inches high, carved In sandstone and painted black, orange, green and blue, the image was found in a secret crypt by Dr. Paul S.

"Regardless of posted speeds, the driver must al ways adjust his speed to the existing conditions of the road, weather, traffic, and the driver's own vehicle," he said. "The driver must also take tinto account his own physi cal condition and his experi ence in high-speed driving in selecting his maximum safe driving speed," Champlin continued. Drivers who drive mainly in city traffic may be incapa ble of safely handling vehicles at open-road speeds because they are simply not familiar with the rapidity with which traffic conditions change at high speed, he noted. "Such drivers are smart if they hold their speed down to their own capabilities," the chief concluded.

Purpose of the three-foot raise is to allow for an addi tional 1,000-acre feet of stor age, the superintendent not ed. SALE OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1960 PAGES 1 to 8 Physicians Seeking Material To Combat Sting of Insects Editor's note: Each summer there ire reports of deaths from insect stings. Two physicians believe there are still other insect-caused deaths, some diagnosed as heart atUrks. They are experimenting with shots for insect-sensitive persons. By FA YE MARLEY Washington - (Science Serv-. ice) - Two women physicians regularly grind up insects' venom sacs in an unusual search tor better materials to protect sensitive persons from serious illness or death from insect stings. Commercially avail able shots, utilizing whole insects ground into a preparation, have been only partially suc cessful. But under grants from the National Institute of Health and other groups, the two women are doing a unique job of immunizing against insects. Specimens Collected Here, Dr. Halla Brown, as sociate professor of clinical medicine and chief of the sec tion on allergy at George Washington university, goes out every fall to collect speci mens to grind up for use the following season. Her former colleague, Dr. Mary H. Loveless, associate professor of clinical medicine at Cornell University Medi cal College in New York, con tinues to work on a more or less experimental basis. In an interview, Dr. Love less said she attributes some firemen's deaths to their al lergies. They may be stung by wasps whose nests they disturb under the eaves of houses or in attics. Because insect bites are hard to see, such deaths are sometimes at tributed to heart attacks. Allergy Level Determined "I always give tests to my patients to determine ..the level of their allergy," Dr. Loveless said. "Most of the treatments I give require about two and a half hours. I usually begin with one-tenth of a sac of venom and during the treatment period, I In crease the shots at half-hour periods until the final shot is usually made up of two full venom sacs." Both Drs. Brown and Love less encounter patients who are rendered unconscious within 20 minutes after being stung by some type of insect to which they are allergic. Some die within a few sec onds. But if they survive, 'Lift Fan' System Seen for Airplanes Washington -(Science Serv ice) - A large commercial transport that can take off and land vertically is fore seen by engineers who an nounced a new "lift fan" pro pulsion system here. The plane, which would need no runway, could pick up passengers in the center of a city for short trips to near by cities. The engineers say the plane could be developed by 1970. It would use a turbojet en gine. The engine's thrust would be diverted to the "lift fan" for take-off and landing. The exhaust gases would turn the fan, which would in turn produce vertical thrust. The system was shown by General Electric' Flight Propulsion Laboratory Department at the annual meeting of the Asso ciation of the United States Army here.

(Dr. Brown also has worked with pollens.) Pollen extract is emulsified in mineral oil and stabilized with materials that retard the release of watery allergen in to the body from muscle or other areas. This slowed re lease permits Injection of 10 to 20 times more allergen than otherwise could be toler ated. The same technique also permitted Dr. Loveless for the first time this year to inocu late patients with a full dose of six venom sacs at one time without harmful results.
