Zurich Herald, 1938-11-10, Page 7Football Terms If You Want to Be Able to En- joy A Good Game, You Should Know What Some of The Terms Mean For those people who like going to football games, even though the amount of their knowledge of the game is rather vague and sketchy, the following pointers by Toan Dur- ham may be a help in following the game with even keener enjoyment, - There are three chief ways of scoring — the touchdown, the field goal and the extra point, The touchdown is made when a player carries the ball or receives a pass across the goal line. It counts five. After making a touchdown, a team gets one try to score an extra point, which counts one. The point is made by kicking the ball over the crossbar, by carrying the ball over the goal lino„ or by catching a forward pass over the goal line. A field goal is made when a play- er kicks the ball over the cross- bars. It scores three. Water Erosion Destroys Soil Evidences of Destruction Are ..Seen On Nearly Every Culti- vated ,Sloping Land in Can- ; ada While the extent of the damage done to cultivated soils in Canada by water erosion is not as yet suf- ficiently apparent to arouse pub- lic opinion, there is clear evidence that a considerable amount of dam- age has been done by this agency of destruction states Dr. A. Leahey, Division of Field Husbandry, Cen- tral Experimental Farm. "It is not exaggerating the case to state that on nearly all sloping cultivated Iand in this country, soil erosion by water has taken place. In some dis- tricts the appearance of yellow clay or gravel spots, the stunted and sparse vegetation on the knolls, the occasional presence of gullies, are unmistakable evidences of• its, de- structive presence. ''The 'common farm practice of cultivating and seeding land up and down the slope, is one of the lead- ing- causes of soil erosion by water. Therefore, the first step that should be taken in controlling or prventing washing away of the soil is to avoid this practice by culti- vating the crops across the slope, or on the contour of the land. Tropical fruits are being grown in Iceland by utilizing the hot springs.

HAKE HEARD Two casual golf acquaintances were walking towards the green when they sighted two women. coming over the hill. "Here comes my wife with same old hag she's picked up some- where," said one of them. "And here comes mine with an- other," retorted the other, icily. Jasper: "Why'do you want.. a rubber plant in your gar- den?" Casper: "I want to raise tires for my garden . truck." It's after the tenants move out that the landlord sees the hand- writing on the wall. Dentist—"Now, open wide! I'm not going to hurt -yon." New Patient—"Cut out the professional guff, old mai. I'm a dentist myself." If placed end to end, the hairs grown by the average man in one year would equal 7,604 feet, we learn. The trick, of course, is to get them to grow end to end. Myztery Memstex The skeleton of a "mystery" Arctic monster has been found west of Jameson Land, in East Greenland, by a Danish "A.rctie Expedition, It is well preserved, andl is evi- dently that of a mammal of the same period as the dinosaur, the prehistoric reptile, Remains of dinosaurs have been found widely distributed over both the Old and the New World. This latest discovery should throw fresh light on the emergence of mammals and on the vague bor- der -line between mammals and reptiles. Goofus — "They say the ' king of Denmark lives'a regu' ,- lar dog's life." Rufus—"Of course; he's a great Dane, isn't he?" When Bliss Is Blister "If ignorance is bliss," said she to him, "well then, my boy, you'd better get your life insured, you're apt to die of joy." Brown—"I haven't seen your son for years. He seemed quite a promising fellow." Jones—"Too much so. He's been sued twice for breach of promise."

What Science * k Doing * CALCIUM DIET FOR LONG LIFE A new secret of long life—that it depends partly on thecalcium your ancestors ate — was an- nounced to the U. S. Academy of Sciences last week. If a family is fed a rich calcium diet, the re- sults add up in the second knd later generations. The amount of calcium in the descendants is increased. They live longer. , • JAWS AND DEAFNESS. The American Society for the Hard of Hearing learned last week that many cases of deafnessare caused by abnormal relations be- tween the jaws.

Ontario Neekwear Company, Dept. 98, Toronto, TO CURE DRUG'ADPICTS A hypodermic in 'the spine to make the cure of drug , addicts easy and' painless is reported. The hypodermic is do anaesthe- . tie causing "nerve block," a form of anaesthesia often used'in surg- ery to render a portion , of the body insensible to pain. This sort of nerve block frees narcotic addicts during their first few days of abstention from the nervous shock, excitement' and mental upsets that accompany' withdrawal of morphine. WHEN ATOMS EXPLODE The extent to which we are af- fected by powerful unseen forces is indicated by studies made on the cosmic rays at the University of Manchester, England. They have detected atomic explosions which spread their debris oyer a span of fifteen feet, and there are indications that the effects cover greater areas. They estimate that• the total energy release in' one of the atonic explosions observed' reached as high as 10,000,000,000,- 000,000 electron volts. EYES, ELECTRIC BATTERIES Human eyes are powerful elec- tric batteries. This discovery, showng that each eyeball is an in- dependent battery, was announc- ed last week by a Yale University psychologist. Each eye produces a current averaging 1 -1,000 -volt, an electrical energy equal to that of the heart beats which make the recordings of electrocardiographs. Numerous eyes, Dr. Miles found, average 1 -400th volt; one gave 2-100 volt. APRONS ns MAIL APRONS FOR BIG WOMEN, THREE styles, tubfast prints—colors red, blue, green. Three for one eo}lar, post paid.

The settlement that is called Boys Town, is the dim' come• true of Father ;Flanagan (Spencer Tracy). A refuge for homeless boys, it is run like a city, with a Mayor elected from among the lads themselves. One day, Joe Marsh, notorious gangster, send's for Father Flanagan. He has a brother, Whitey (Mickey Rooney) whom he wants taken into Boys Town and brought up properly.. "Money doesn't grow on trees, Father." Father Flanagan is on his way to Whitey's hang- out when he runs into his good friend, David Morris (Henry Hull) the man who has helped him finance the home. Morris warns Father Flanagan that un- less some donations come in very soon, the whole project will fail. But Father ,Flanagan doesn't worry. The settlement has flourished since it was started and somehow, he will keep it going. ,tr, • "Stop being a kid, Whitey" Entering the boarding-house room where Whitey lives, Father Flanagan looks at the occupants in grim despair. They are all "toughies," smoking, playing cards and cursing heartily. The encounter with Whitey is harsh but brief. Father Flanagan is forced to take him by the scruff of theneck and knock some anise into him. Belligerently, Whitey packs and goes'along with him. "Hello , Mr. ,Boy. I'm Pee -wee." Reaching Boys Town Whitey stares at the well - arranged buildings. Despite himself, he is impressed. Aloud, however, he expresses his opinions in terms of contempt. At the outer gate, a six-year-old little fellow -greets hint. ' He is Pee -wee (Bobs Watson) Father Flanagan's pet. Whitey is scornful. Kids! He'll leave the first chance he gets. Read the next exciting episode.
