Watkins rHara's Latest Theory on How Birds Reach Destination ; How a bird can successfully "travel over unfamiliar terrl- tory, for thousands of miles, .without a compass or a road Jnap has been the subject for 'conjecture since man began -.thinking. i ' There have been many ex planations; the fact there has -been so many; and that more are forthcoming, is pretty Xood proof that the real rea son is still obscure. The new- jest idea, on theory, is ;"streaming." . The rotation of the earth !bn its imaginary axis, is an lever- present force, demon strated graphically, and gurgling, every time the stop per is pulled out of the wash bowl. If the pipe is unimped ed a miniature whirlpool Sweeps around, from left to Tight, or clockwise. Move jiown south of the equator ind the whirl is reversed. iCalled Corlolis Force ' This peculiar action of a liquid is called the coriolis iorce. The earth's surface at 4he equator travels about a thousand miles an hour; go up 3n something to the point' of weightlessness, ana stay there ior .an hour, and upon your jeturn to earth, you would be tehind your point of "take- otl oy a thousand miles, j Coriolis is something . we .can do nothing about, so we ccept It, but this force can, and probably does, work on friany other things besides the Svater in a washbowl, or a funnel. It has been suggested that It may even work on the Hlquid in a bird's ears, and help it arrive at its destina tion. -. It Is a physical fact that the -farther we travel from the equator toward the north, the riess this peculiar force be comes; at the north pole, the spin of the earth becomes al most zero. Inside the bird's ear, there are circular canals, Silled with fluid, which may 'act about the same as the wat- er In the funnel. The farther "the bird goes in a northerly direction, would affect the "streaming" in the vertical canals; the streaming of the Uiquld would be less. ;Would Inform ' On southern migrations, Ithe bird's acute pressure mea suring apparatus would auto matically inform the bird whether or not it was on course, and flight adjust ments would be made. .Of course, the bird is not conscious of the "streaming" in its ear canals; its flight ad justments would be made without conscious thought. The bird is more sensitive to pressure-thought than to con scious thought. All of which may, or may, not help to solve the mystery of bird migration, but it is an interesting theory. Probably there are many pther func tions, as well as "those for the birds" that are retarded, advanced, assisted, or bene fited by that strange force that causes the water to form the little whirlpool in . the washbowl. - ' (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1960) Benefits Seen In River Pact Portland - IUPD - Elmer F. Bennett, undersecretary o f interior, said Wednesday President Eisenhower's a n -nouncement of agree m e n t with Canada on basic terms for a Columbia river storage development treaty paved the way for big benefits for the Pacific Northwest. - r. Bennett told a news con ference here that the region would benefit from power, flood control and. resource conservation. . He said the proposed Libby Dam in Montana would ex ceed the output of Bonneville Dam and that three Canadian projects would bo roughly equal to another Grand Cou lee Dam. "Flood control under the proposed agreement," he said "would realize the long-sought goal of the Corps of Engineers to reduce flood flows at The Dalles to below 800,000 cubic feet per second, preventing recurrence of life and prop erty losses caused by past floods . . ." -Mannered Burglar , Nome, Alaska - Police are looking for the ill-mannered burglars who loosened all the light fuses in Mrs. Cora B. Rink's home before making off with meat, eggs and canned goods. Mrs. Rink sleeps under an electric blanket. International Meal Features Canned Foods On Oct. 24, United Nations Food Day, President and Mrs. Eisenhower will serve an in ternational meal at the White House as part of their observ ance of this important occa sion. Millions of Americans will be doing likewise in their own homes. The' practice of preparing an international dinner on this day is becoming an an nual custom all over the country, and those who do it enjoy the experience. Particularly in homes with children, a dinner of this kind has great value. It , makes children more conscious of the UN and its vital work in a very direct way. They learn how "the other half" lives, so to speak, sampling dishes popular in other parts of the world. The food also inspires discussions about the customs in other countries and leads to a greater under standing of the fact that the world's population is made up of many different peoples who have their own ideas about eating as well as almost everything else. Canned foods offer a great choice of foods' for the mak ing of international dishes quickly and easily.

Instantainment Party Proves to Be Sipiacular Coining new words right and left, The Nestle Com pany entertained newspaper food editors at an elegant party at the Waldorf-Astoria. The event featured "Instant ainment", a series of skits by the Bunin Puppets based on the idea that everything hap pens in an instant. Editors then sipped a half dozen spec tacular (siptacular, that is) party drinks that had been demonstrated in me amusing skits. Each section of the show and display illustrated some thing that happens in an in stant; inheriting money, a rainbow, or falling in love, and led up to a situation such as a bridge game or post-football gathering at which in stant refreshment would be desirable. The Instant Chocolate Soda and Pink Cloud (a strawberry soda) were made with Quick and Strawberry Quik; the Snowball Coffee (coffee with vanilla ice cream) with Nes cafe or Decaf, the two Nestle Instant coffees. Either of these two products could also be used to make Midnight Mo cha, a combination of coffee, EverReady cocoa and a choc olate mint patty. Continental Coffee is a demi-tasse coffee w i t h a twist of remon peel and a topping of ginger-flavored whipping cream. Certain to be popular with youngsters was a Winter Warmup; cocoa . "garnished with a "kabob," a plastic straw holding marshmallows and a marachino cherry. Dinner in a Can At the recent newspaper foods editors conference in New York, Amy Vanderbilt, whose book on Etiquette has passed the 1,800,000 copies mark, was asked by a foods editor this very pertinent question which is baffling many hostesses. "What does a hostess do when a ' dinner guest arrives with a can oi yourknow-what?" ; Miss Vanderbilt indicated that good social behavior dic tates that the potential dinner guest forget her diet for- the occasion; decline the ' invita tion, stating the reason; or ask if she might come for black coffee following the repast. In (ho latter event, it is assumed that the late guest would forego a recital of her reduc ing Vtnut in deference toiher hostess and other guests who probably couldn l care less, having just dined well. , Mrs. Luce Sees Catholic, Negro Vote (or Kennedy New York-(UP -Sen. John F. Kennedy's Roman Catholic religion will win him nearly all the nation's Catholic votes and perhaps the vital Negro votes as well Mrs. Clara Boothe Luce predicted Wednesday. . :; .,. "Every Catholic will take Mr. Kennedy's Catholic faith into account when making his or her choice. This is in evitable; it is also right," Mrs. Luce said in a copyright ed article in the November issue of McCall's magazine. "The religion of Mr. Ken nedy will, I think, win him almost all the Catholic votes," she said. Aware of Order The former congrcsswoman and ambassador to Italy also said many Negroes were aware of a Vatican order sev eral years ago for U.S. bish ops to desegregate their churches and schools and would be inclined to vote for Kennedy. Mrs. Luce, a Republican and a convert to Catholicism, would not predict the out come of the election but said "religion will be an impor tant issue" in the campaign. ' Mrs. Luce did not say in the article which candidate she was supporting, but she had previously stated that she would vote the Republican ticket.
