Eighteen Entomology Majors Help in Fight Against Corn Borer
University Students Employe in Government Scouting Exeditions
The war on the European corn borer, the pest which has become a menace to corn crops in the East and Southeast of the United States, way westward, attracted 18 men from the department of entomology here this summer. The effort at control was organized by the Plant and Quarantine Control, Administration of the United States Department of Agriculture, with western headquarters at Tolteo.
The official scouting season, which closed Saturday, Sept. 14, was the end of nine weeks' search for borers along the front line in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Some of the men from the University returned in time for enrollment, while others remained on the various sites, until last Monday.
Leaving Lawrence July 12, the K. U. delegation went by train, auto, or bus to Toleupe, where they were given a special tour of the laboratory of egg masses, stalk and leaf inquiry of the borer, as well as the ability to distinguish to a certain degree from other species, with about 200 other college men, the men were divided into two and three-men crews and sent to the various non-infected areas near the quarantine station.
Men From Many States
Most of the men who are sent out to locate infestation in new areas, are majors in entomology or in agriculture at a college or university, and graduate colleges in the Middle West, South, and East. Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Missouri were among the states represented by students in the control area. The department is head of the department of entomology at each school, and applications were sent to the Toledo organization.
A car is furnished each crew, with a forman in charges, and as borers are located and identified a such by specialists at Tolomeo, the quartermaster ban is placed on him. A worker is born is found, to become effective the following year.

"Amazing preenautons," Johnson said, "are sometimes taken by people to make sure they will not be buried alive. They have required that a still letto shall be the third body, so that the two bodies they shall be decapitated and their body buried at sea.
"A Russian nobleman invented an electric switch for coffins. If this was touched by the corpse it lighted a red lamp, irradiating the coffin to awaken the deceased in the墓地余额." This recalls the story of Annie Green who was hanged in 1850. Fourteen hours later she rewired, was purged, married and bad had bedtime. The moment that cremation is becoming popular among those who fear being buried alive.
Adjustable Propellers Invented
Cleveland, Ohio—Propliers for airplanes, made adiable so that their pitch, or "pulling power," can be adjusted as needed. The arises will soon come into extensive use, believe engineers attending the Aeromatic meeting of the Society of Airplane Engineers, presented paper papers were presented on the subject. One was by T. P. Wright and W. R. Turnbull, engineers of the Company. The other by Frank W. Caldwell, chief engineer of the Standard Steel Propeller Co. All three agreed that the controllable pitch of the propulsion is a cost-effective cost, for any types of airplanes.

Trans-Atlantic Telephone Cable May Connect U. S. and Europe by 1932; Perminvar Makes Circuit Possible
Early in the year 1922, it will probably be possible to talk from the United States to Europe by telephone regardless of the statue and atmosphere. The trans-Atlantic radio at times. By then it is expected that a trans-Atlantic telephone cable will be in use, providing an airway to continents.
Valencia Region
Engineers at the Bell Telephone Laboratories here are now working on the development of the cable system with London, Long distance lines will radiate from each of these cities to other parts of Europe. Because the cable will replace the present radio system, but its greater reliability will allow it to provide an additional channel so that messages can be handled at once. The telephone cable will only handle one conversation at a time.
Always Make Telephone Possible
Recently developed alloy of nickel, cobalt, iron make telephony by cable transmission. It is not used to carry the currents that traverse the cable, but is wrappedximally around the cable in a conductor. The "pumpernissim" it is used to carry the center in the actual conductor.
With a plain copper wire, which was used in the first cables, the wire can be insulated with an inner sensor, even though the wire was fully insulated. Electricity is stored in a condenser something like a battery in the action. The condenser, which is the entire cable must be charged before the operator at the station must be discharged before another signal can be sent. This made early transmission very slow.
This capacity of the cables—becomes more important once the slight currents can be overcome by lending it. This is done by wiring it with wire or tape insulated by the slight currents flowing through the cables. For use in telegraphy, the Bell Laboratories developed this method, which is now in use on several high speed cables. These cables respond instantly to signals from the cell.
Perminvar has a further advan
tage over permaility, however for it is affected the same extent by the same variation in current, whichever is greater. In this case, one With telegraph cables, the current either flows or does not flow, and the change is from on to off so the current strength of the voice phoney, however, requires a wide range of current strength, to take care of the modulations of the voice. With a cable loaded with permailim, this is
The route of the new cable has not yet been definitely determined. Probably, the submarine part will be built at a location with a length of about 2100 miles. From Newfoundland, the circuit will be carried through several other coastal areas before crossing over land wires to New York. From the Irish end, a submarine will carry it across the Irish channel to Scotland, and then land wires will take it.
St. Louis—(UP) In order that a specially designed pipe organ may be installed in Detroit in "The Miracle" on Oct. 5, two hundred workers at the plant of George Kilgen and Son Orchard worked to rush the instrument to completion.
Rush Order for Organ Filled by 200 Worker
Tegelographic order for the organize a $20,000 instrument containing the organs of the Kilgen Plant, is placed at the Kilgen plant on Sept. 14, from the Keen Cast, produce an instrument that started immediately. The instrument must be mounted on officials' or cabinet officials' the kilgen concern said, if it is to be shipped and installed in time for the opening performance in September.
The same instrument is to be dismantled and re-shipped to Milwaukee for a presentation of "The Minute," which will open there Nov. 12.

The Best Comedies on the Screen Selected Talking Acts
Genova, N. Y. - Experiments to catch insects with light traps are being undertaken on a larger scale in the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. Though the basic idea is old, no definitely quantitative work has ever been done on attracting insects can be harnessed to attracting insects can be harvested fruit growers.
Jazz-Mad Youth, meeting Life in moments of baming drama! Even better than "Our Dancing Daughters."
The work which we started in 1927 with the co-operation of the Empire Stats Gas and Electric Company, shows a catch of cleavage in the soil to be trapped for the traps set in orchards, a goodly proportion of the hand being waged adult forms of destructive posts. More cooling water is added to the cold storage plants where fruit had been stored than out in the orchards, an interesting point that shows the liabilities and facilities used by the modern facilities of fruit distribution.
