Basement Fun
By BILL JENKINS
As the do-it-yourself craze gains
momentum, around the country we
are told by the magazines, the ra
dio and television outlets that there
is a wonder world of pleasure and
profit in our basements. The list
of things you can build, repair and
remodel In your basements covers
many pages and adequate Instruc
tion Is available on every side.
Since no one has yet come out
with a do-it-yourself medical pro
ject that would treat of such sub
jects as the dressing of saw cuts,
chisel slashes, hammer-smashed
thumbs and the splinting of toes
broken by falling planks, I have
had to find other means of enjoy
ing the basement.
"The most satisfactory U mouse
Bunting. I got started at it a
couple of years ago when wet and
cold weather drove literally hun
dreds of field mice out of the pas
tures and swamps around the place
onto our lawn and then Into the
basement. Trapping them was a
major chore since you could set
as many traps as you wished and
have them all full In a matter of
minutes. The cat got tired of catch
ing them and learned to love them,
apparently. The dog was useless
since he's too clumsy to catch
anything that moves faster than
a slow human. So I took to shoot
ing 'em with an air rifle.
If you've never tried It and you
have a basement that attracts a
mouse now and then I can highly
recommend the sport. The equip
ment Is simple all you need Is an
accurate, high power pellet gun,
endless patience and the ability to
make the gun hit where you point
her. Good practice to sharpen
up the old shooting eye for regular
hunting, too. A running mouse at
30 or 40 feet presents as sporty a
target as a fast-winging bull sprig
or a running Jackrabblt. You have
to take into consideration such
Items as light fixtures, glass Jars
of Jelly and fruits, mirrors, win
fly "lows and other objects that would
4t "e damaged if hit. You also have
to watch out for ricochets which
can be daVgerous. Some of these
pellet guns really pack a wallop.
As you get into the swing of
things, and if the supply of mice
holds out, you'll find yourself
switching to a pistol, the gas oper
ated ones are handiest, as being
sportier for the short shots, re
serving the Title for the corner
shots or when you need a fine
bead while shooting Into the shadow
under the workoenci.
When the mlct,: become wary,
as they do after a Wme, 'specially
the grey and white "house" mice,
you can try your hand at setting
up an adequate bait that will still
. aliord sportsmanlike snooting, no
fun in Just putting a chunk of
cheese out in the open and taking
sitting shots. That's for Juniors and
BB guns. BUt you can build a
maze with- the bait at the center
that will afford you difficult shots
as the little beast threads his way
past sticks and other items on his
way to the bait.
Head shots are best, sure killers
with an adequate rifle or handgun.
Spine shot anchor 'em where they
are. But a mouse has a surprising
amount of vitality and can pack
a lot of lead. Wood rats, when you
get an occasional crack at one,
prove to be as phlegmatic as an
old billy goat when It comes to
taking lead.
On top of the shooting end of
It, it gives a man a wonderful
chance to catch up on his think
ing. Since movement will scare any
mouse, no matter how bold, you
have to compose yourself in pa
tience and endure the stiffness that
comes with sitting too long in one
position. At such times thinking is
a good distraction to take your
mind off your aching backside. And
since a basement is a cool, quiet
place it is conducive to thinking.
You can unravel all kinds of prob
lems, make decisions and rehearse
your tomorrow's speech to the
boss. All in privacy and quiet.
Yep, I heartily recommend it.
It may, in fact, be the only answer
to the growing menace of televi
sion. Try.lt some time ana see.
Fossils
By KEN McLEOD
Few people actually realize the
importance of sundry "old" bones,
fragments of which are to be
found about every fossil locality
but when these bone fragments are
associated with human -remains
and artifacts the bones may be.
come exceedingly significant.
However, and here again cau
tion must be observed because the
evidence may be accidental and
the products of man may actually
belong to a period many years
later than the period of the ani
mals. One of the best illustrations
of this fact was to be found in
Lower Klamath Lake.
In the present Lower Klamath
Wildlife Refuge, a short distance
south of the present state line
road and now covered by water
of one of the refuge units, exists
the site of one of Klamath Basin's
fossil deposits. This site, so far
as I know was never thoroughly
explored by any competent fossil
studenc.
We know of its existence back
in the dry thirties we hunted In
dian artifacts In the area and
picked up arrow points from
among the fossilized bones of sev
eral strange creatures. The fact
that the fossil remains and the
artifacts were found together, how
ever, did not indicate that the
period of man and the period of
animals were coincident.
The fossils were weathering out
of a volcanic tuff that composed
that part of the valley floor and
the artifacts had trickled down
from the surface of a higher ele
vation due to wind erosion of the
old muck beds that formed the
bottom of Lower Klamath Lake.

Serrinf Southern Oref on And Northern California
The bones coming out of the
rock met the artifacts coming
down from above at the wind
swept surface of the bed of vol
canic tuff. Thus we had created
there the appearance of the pres
ence of man when these fossil
animals roamed the Klamath
Plains.
To one seeking to show great
antiquity of man In the Klamath
region the evidence as It appeared
could be taken as a matter of
fact with no questions asked as
to the origin of the fossil hones.
It has been situations such as
this that have caused much con
troversy over the age of man In
America and every such find of
human artifacts among the fossil
animals has been challenged uoon
this same point. This same chal-;
lenge came in the case of the
discovery of the Folsom points In
New Mexico in association with
the bones of a fossil buffalo.
In look'nn back unon ou" exper
ience on Lower Klamath we begin
to realize that perhaps not all the
artifacts found among the fossil
bones may have come from above
as we assumed at the time, but
some may have come from the
same . horizon as did the animal
material, in fact, the actual pres
ence of the bones themselves
might have been due to human
design rather than due to some
design of nature's. It has been
stated that "there are sermons in
stone," but, how few of us are
equipped to read these sermons
of nature? There may have been
a really Important story before
our eyes but we did not see it.
The fact we cannot take any
thing for granted in nature is ably
illustrated In an example I might
draw from the experience of one
of the paleontologists at the Uni
versity of California. A farmer in
the Pit River country wrote a let
ter to the department at Berkely
saying that he had found a strange
fossil bone on his ranch and de
scribed It as a round bone, 12
inches lonr thaf tapered to a
point from the broken end section
which was six Inches In diameter.
He thought the whole animal was
in place and wondered if they were
Interested.
The professor sighed, "another
elephant," for the description of
the fossil read exactly like a find
of a section of elephant tusk. Fos
sil elephants as far as the depart
ment was concerned were a "dime
a dozen."
So the professor wrote back
stating that what the farmer had
discovered was the remains of
one of. the fossil eleohants and
he was .sorry, he could not come
and visit the location as they were
Just then overstocked with ele
phant remains, nerhaps some oth
er Institution might be Interested.
This made the farmer mad and
he writes back "why you crazy
old coot. I know elenhants. this
Is a cow critter the bone is hol
low." Well that Droduced action,
the professor left home immediate
ly, "why didn't you say so in the
first place!"
The result was the discovery of
one of the finest fossil skulls of
the Giant Bison which once ranged
this region and Is one of the most
cherished fossil items of the de
partment of paleontology. From
this skull a beautiful reconstruc
tion of the head of this famous
bison was made by a noted sculp
tor and If you saw the exhibit of
the University of California at. the
World's Fair on Treasure Island,
the first Item to greet you as
you entered the university exhibit
room was this reoroduction of the
head of the giant bison from our
Plf. River country.
No find therefore can be dis
missed as not being of interest,
or not having something to tell
those wo have the willingness to
stop and read the story. Old and
well exolored sites are continually
bringing forth new bits of evidence
of the past and new sites become
spots of thrilling discovery.

Bv HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK Ofl Curbstone
comments of a pavement Plato:
After he reaches an age where
he forgets the ecstasy ol making
and throwing a snowball, the aver
age man olten grumbles, "What
good Is winter?"
Winter has more critics than the
income tax. This Is unfair to one
of the finest seasons of the year.
Every season has its own particu
lar virtues, and winter confers
upon mankind major blessings.
Your farmer knows the full value
of winter. Its snowfalls provide
him the water his crop will 'need
next spring. He can reach Into a
full barrel and pull out an apple a
day to keep the doctor away. His
labors are fewer, and he has time
to write those long, long letters to
his congressman on what Is wrong
with the country. He is in semi
hibernation himself, and if his pigs
and cows would Just hibernate,
too, he could write even longer
letters.
It is the city dweller and the
suburbanite who disparage winter
most because they understand it
least. The housewife complains be.
cause she gets her feet wet wading
through slush on her daily pilgrim
age to the supermarket. The hus
band groans because he has to put
tire chains on his motor car or dig
a path through the snow that
Dlocks his garage door.
But these are minor miseries In
comparison to the pleasures that
winter offers.
Why yearn to flee to the southern
ports of the sun. Why indeed! The
south is for the birds. But the birds
go south only through necessity,
not desire. If birds had homes with
central heating and could patron
ize a good, well-stocked grocery
store, do you think they'd be crazy
enough to wear out their feathers
flying all the way to Mexico every
vear? Not llkelv- '
The ungrateful people who eritl
nxxh tivs
ctze winter da ao because they
simply don't know a good thing
when they have if. They don't
know how to get the most out of it.
Here are a few advantages of
winter:
You won't be bitten by a snake
or a mosquito and no chigger will
.tunnel into you.
You won't catch poison ivy or a
sunburn.
You don't have to go on picnics
or eat a steak burned to death on
an outdoor grill.
There is less Sunday driving.
You go out less, and learn to
discover anew the fun you can find
in your own home by your own
hearth.
But above all winter makes you
slow down the tempo of your liv
ing. Nature, the great psvcMa'rist,
invented winter as a period of rest
for all Its creatures worn out by
the wear and tear of summer's
violence.
Eternal summer is no boon to
man, not if life Itself is the greatest
boon. People live longer In Nebras
ka, which knows winter, than In a
torrid Brazilian city, which knows
it not.
Winter is not the great destroyer:
it is the rrreat healer.
Don't fight winter. Just use It to
relax and get well.
New Offense
By JAMES MAR LOW
WASHINGTON HI A few dates
end statements out of the life of
Secretary of State Dulles offer
some Insights into his ideas about
foreign policy and his handling of
it. ,
In April 1952, after watchln tne
Truman administration for seven
years advised various means for
blocking Soviet expansion such
os foreign aid and military alli
ances Dulles said:
The United States was too much
on the "defensive" when It should
have taken the Initiative: It was
"dancing to whatever tune" the
Russians played: and "most of our
actions have been reactions to so
viet Communist actions."
Since he became secretary of
state in 1953 he has followed In a
general way the broad policies of
former President Truman: a con
tinuance of foreign aid and even
more military aid. It is perhaps
the only way. No one in authority
has advocated another.
Last Nov. 29 Dulles told a news
conference the United States
"very distinctly" had the initiative
in the Middle East. He said: "I
believe what we are doing (in the
Middle East) Is of incomparably
greater importance ana signiii-
cance than these tentative propos
als the Soviets are making."
After this expression of confl
dence the secretary said the United
States was not going to be drawn
Into an attempt to match every
offer of economic aid the Soviets
may make to the Middle East and
Asia.
But on Dec. 20 by this time
the visits of Soviet leaders to the
Middle East and Asia were being
considered a propaganda success,
at least Dulles made It known
the administration wanted to step
up Its aid to the Middle East.
And President Eisenhower al
though there has been congression
al opposition to continuing and
prolonging foreign aid said in
his Jan. 5 State of the Union mes
sage his administration wanted to
set up a 10-year foreign aid pro
gram. Then yesterday Dulles, with Ei
senhower's approval, called on the
nation to "wake up" to all the
Implications facing this country in
Its struggle to keep the backward
countries from Russia by economic
help.
It wasn't the call so much that
was unusual as the way in which
It was made.
Dulles and his State Department
have responsibility for making for
eign policy. But Dulles said he
and Eisenhower had approved a
statement prepared by the Ameri
can delegation to the United
Nations.
This statement informed the
country the Russians have shifted
their tactics and that defeat in
competing with them in helping
underdeveloped countries econom
ically might cost this country the
cold war.
Why Dulles had not long before
this called on the country to "wake
up" or why the warning had to be
thought up by the U.N. delegation
instead of the State Department
Isn't clear.
A Lot Of Good
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Staff Correspondent
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles can do a lot of good when
he visits Prime Minister Jawahar
lal Nehru of India in March.
The visit, in fact, may prove to
be one of the most important Dul
les has made in some time.
First, he should be able to clear
up completely the misunderstand
ing over his recent reference to
Portugal's "provinces" in the Far
East, including Goa on the Indian
coast.
Secondly, he should be able to
offset some of the propaganda
which Soviet Premier Nikolai A.
Bulganln and Communist Party
Chief Nikita S. Khrushchev dished
out so lavishly on their visit to
Nehru.
Dulles may be able to convince
Nehru that solid American aid is
of more value to India than Com
munist big talk.
Finally, Dulles will be able to
discuss Intimately the Issues out
standing between the United
Stu'es and Communist China.
The visit might even result In
some initiative bv Nehru to ease
tensions in the Far East. He Is
anti-Communist in his political
philosophy but he is friendly with
Chinese Red leaders Mao Tse.

valuable go-between in East-West
relations.
Nehru has made himself a most
Important man in world affairs.
He Is the leader of the "neutral
ist" nations, which want to side
neither with the West nor with the
East. He Is the leader of India's
360 million people. His country,
the second largest in tne worm
In point of population, Is bound to
take an increasingly large share
in world problem- as the years
pass.
Nehru la in no sense a dictator
He was chosen leader because he
Is India's outstanding man. He
enjoys the respect and love of his
people. But he Is undisputed lead
er. A lot of dictators might envy
him.
Indian-American relations got a
big jolt when Dulles issued a joint
statement with visiting Portu
guese Foreign Affairs Minister
Paulo Arsenio verissimo cunna
In Washington on December 2.
The statement criticized Bui
ganln and Khrushchev tor trying,
on their visit to South Asia, "to
foment hatred between the East
and the West." But it also men
tioned Portugal's possessions In
the Far East as "provinces" of
the mother country and not as
colonies. They are classed by
Portugal as provinces.
Nehru, who says he Is deter
mined to get Goa and its ad fa
cent tiny Portuguese areas on the
Indian coast, got quite angry.
The Incident was blown up far
behond Its real imoortance. But
it was pie for Bulganln and
Khrushchev, and they made the
most of it as enemies of anything
but the Kremlin kind of colonial.
Ism,
Indian resentment over the Dul-
les-Cunha statement probably was
keener because Bulganln and
Khrushchev were still In South
Asia.
But the timing certainly was
unfortunate, and it certainly hurt
relations of the United States with
India.
Dulles ought not to have much
trouble In setting things straight
again.
Itat Parasites
By" EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
Rats carry diseases which can
be acquired by human beings. Rats
sometimes attack people, particu
larly Infants and the aged. Rats
destroy a great deal of food and
cause enormous property damage
There are probably more rats in
North America than there are peo
pie.
Rats can live lh almost any ell
mate and eat everything that hu
man beings do, as well as other
things. They have many similar
ities to man and can adapt them
selves much better to change and
disaster than we can. At present,
they are almost certainly the most
dangerous enemies of .mankind,
other than ourselves.
Rats carry many diseases of man
and animals, Including plague (the
black death of the Middle Ages),
typhus or Jail fever, rat bite fever,
and Well's disease.
Plague Is a constant danger be
cause it Is present in rats in many
parts of the world. Plague even
tually kills the rats themselves:
when this happens the rat flea,
which harbors the germ causing
plague, leaves the dead rat's body
and seeks the nearest alternate
host, which may be and often Is a
human being.
Several years ago, a study was
made of attacks on human beings
by rats In Baltimore. Records were
obtained of nearly 100 persons who
had been bitten so badly by rats
that they had to go to a hospital
for treatment. This same report re
corded studies which suggested
that rats relish human blood and
that the reason they bite people Is
that they are hungry.
The amount of Injury which rats
do and their burden on our econo
my Is almost past belief. Several
vears ago. it was calculated that
the damage done by rats in Wash
ington and Baltimore alone was be
tween S400.000 and (700,000 each
year respectively. This represents
an average loss, of Sl.27 a year per
nerson.
Lantz, of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, has listed some ol
the more destructive activities of
rats. Thev eat corn during growtn
and in cribs, and a single rat can
eat from 40 to 50 pounds ol corn
a year. The rat Is the greatest ene
my of poultry. Rats destroy wild
birds, ducks, woodcocks and song
birds. They attack ouios, seeas ana
nlants.
There seems no doubt that rats
should be hunted mercilessly on
all fronts. They are rivals of man
kind and may beat us out in
the long run.
