Experiments on
Animals May Help

COLLEGE STATION. (INS)—
Out of experiments with animals
by the Texas Agricultural Ex-
periment Station here may come
facts upon which to base preven-
tion of poor eyesight in the hu-
man family.
This conclusion is indicated in
the annual report of the experi-
ment, just made by Director A. B.
Conner, in a discussion of experi-
ments with “Vitamin A” in feed-
ing swine, poultry and cattle over
a period of three years.
“This work,” said Director Con-
ner, “points to the important fact
that weak or abnormal eyes and
certain other defects in humans
may be due to a deficiency of
Vitamin A in the diet of the
mother before and during preg-
nancy.”
The experiments show defini-
tely, he reported, that with-hold-
ing Vitamin A from the ration of
sows for a period of 160 to 180
days before breeding and 30 days
thereafter will induce blindness
in the pigs, and in some instances,
other defects, particularly of the
eyes.
It was found that eggs' from
hens kept in confinement, with-
out access to dark green growing
plants, are more likely to be de-
ficient in Vitamin A and the only | There are many who—most sec-

PARIS.—It is one thing to get
into red-ruled Catalonia these
days. It is quite another to get
out.

wishing to go to Barcelona gen-
erally are given “salvoconducto,”
or safe conduct. Wording of the
uidei is lather important.
“The Ambassador of the Span-
ish Republic in Paris (as my ord-
er read) requests of the republic's
authorities and the militians of
the popular front every facility
for the entrance into, circulation
in, and exit from Spanish terri-
tory.”
Such a pass got me into Spain
over the Carbere-Port-Bou Fron-
tier. But once arrived in Barce-
lona, the anarchist and commu-
nist authorities let me know that
it was valueless.
To leave Barcelona, one re-
quires no less than three visas or
permits, issued from three dif-
ferent government buildings. No
one of these visas is good without
the others, and all are issued by
the anarchist or communist of-
fices of their “security” police.
It is virtually impossible for
a Spaniard to leave Barcelona.

way to supply this deficiency is
to include green feed or cod-liver
oil in the ration. Not only will
the addition of these rations in-
crease the food vaiue ot the eggs

The American and other consu-
lates in Barcelona have installed
beds for safe guarding of nation-
als whose lives are in danger.
Food is brought them, and they
are prevented from venturing into
streets until they can be escorted
by armed guards to outgoing
motor caravans, planes, or ships.

Necessity for this food element
in fattening steers for beef cattle
was demonstrated with steer
calves. Groups were fed two ra-
tions, one with a sufficient quan-
tity of the element, the other
lacking it. All made rapid and
uniform gains until about 118
days, when the steers on the ra-
or other safe conducts are issued
to those who do not warrant
them.

BEAUTY IN REVERSE
FORT WORTH, Tex. (INS).—
They had so many beauty con-
tests in the Lone Star State this
Centennial year, people were
getting bored with them. So
the T. C. U. Skiff decided to stage
a beauty contest in reverse.
They had the students vote on
the king of T. C. U.—the ugliest
man on the campus.
CUTCHCGUE, N. Y. (INS).—A
miniature repetition of the “An-
cient Mariner” took place on
Long Island Sound when John
Edwards, 54. of Saybrook Point,
Cann., lost both oars of his row-
boat and drifted with the Sounds’
currents for 60 hours before
landing here. Edwards stumb-
led up to the nearest house, in
the early morning, moaning for
water. A doctor was called and
Edward quickly recovered.
CONGRESSMAN-TEXAS:
More Uses for Cotton
Robert Fencher, director of the
CCC, has purchased a test lot of
500 blankets. They are being dis-
tributed to six Southern CCC
camps for a test of the merits of
such blankets in such service. The
test period will be 90 days, and
during this period their service
will be compared with wool
blankets in use in the same camps.
The cotton blankets are consid-
erably cheaper than wool blan-
kets. and it is thought that they
will satisfactorily answer the ser-
vice requirements in the CCC. If
the blankets prove satisfactory in
actual service, some real business
will develop in the cctton line. In
1910 the average per capita con-
sumption in the United States
was 27 pounds. This had shrunk
in 1935 to 20 pounds A well-nap-
pud cotton blanket of the same
weight as wool sells for about
one-third the cost of wool. We
import wool and export cotton.
Therefore, it is in our interest
to .ncrease the demand for cot-
ton.
The Government is also experi-
menting with cotton roads. If
these experiments are successful,
much of our cotton will be used
in a few years in highway con-
struction.
Unemployment Compensation
October 27 Texas joined the
group of States having unem-
ployment compensation laws in
conformity with the Social Securi-
ty Act. These unemployment
benefits will not be on the basis
of need, but as an earned right
to employees who lose their jobs.
The Texas law will cover ap-
proximately 1,000,000 workers. It
covers a business that employs
eight or more people, and does
not include agricultural and do-
mestic servants in homes. The
law also exempts insurance
agents whose compensation is re-
ceived on a commission basis.
The employer pays the bill,
amounting to 9-10 of 1 per cent
for 1936, and increases each year
until it is 2-7 per cent. There is
no tax on the employee. The
benefits under the law will bp
one-half of the employee’s wages
up to S15 a week lor a maximum
of 15 weeks. Payments will be
made after a waiting period of
two weeks. A commission of three
appointed by the Governor, will
administer the law.
