11.% naval .officers quietly
confirmed reports that a, revolu-
tionary new technique of locat-

is now being used by the fleet.
Scientists . call the technique;
"oderiferous homing on ionized

men call it "sniffer gear," The
sniffer gear takes :advantage of
a basic weakness of subs equip-

the ail\ much like the exhaust'
gas analyzer that garage men
use when tuning up automobile
engines.
Reportedly, the seen t" of a
snorkeling sub can be picked up
several miles away and, since
the fumes linger downwind.. for
as long as one hour after the
sub has glided by under water.
Then, the airplane's radar would
swing into action to find out if
there are surface ships in the
vicinity that could be the source
of the oil or diesel fumes. If
not, the usual area-search pat-
tern would .begin and conven-
tional detection systems would
come into play to pinpoint the
target.
The device is ineffective
against nuclear - powered subs
which, thanks to air-regenerat-
ing equipment powered by A-

at a time. Against the day when
the Reds have nuclear subs, the •

seeking devices and radiation

TRUCKERS' HERO— Reuben C.
Thomas, 29, was named na-
tional "Driver of the Year" by
the American Trucking Associa-
tions. He risked his life to res-
cue an injured woman from a
flaming automobile and was
nearly electrocuted by high..
voltage current from a downed
power, line lying across the
burning car.
Odd Accidents
Some time ago a chemist who
wanted to achieve a romantic
conquest doctored some candies
with a drug which,' he believed,
would make a girl more affec-
tionate, But he used the wrong•
.drug; and two innocent women
died.
There are many curious in-
stances of death by accident.
In a most bizarre case an in-
nocent man was nearly executed.
In 1917 a German farmer named
Schamm was found dead in bed,
shot through the head by his
own gun.
His friend Pawlowski, a Pole,
admitted that he had visited
SLcharnm on the evening of the
tragedy. They had quarrelled, he
said,- and Schamrn had threaten=.
ed hitn with the gun. He denied
that he had in any way harmed
Schamm but was unable to ex-
plain how the 'farther died. It
was obviously not suicide
cause the WeaPori lay on a table
out fo Schanim's reach;
Pawlowski was lucky to escap,e
sentence of death. Twentycyears
later he WaS allowed to go with
prison officials to 8cliattitti's cot-
tage. A dummy was leid on.
SCharnm's bed the identical gun
was loaded and placed pointing
towards the bed, exactly 68 it
was when fettled oil the table.
Scientists Waited, watching the
gth'S tayS oh the bedroom Win-
dOW. A flaw in the elaeS Caught
the rays arid foetiSed 'them oil
the powder box of the gun.

How Can I?
By Anne Ashley

monia water. Or, soak in kero-
sene and wash with naptha soap
in tepid water.
Q. How can I make an oak
stain?
A. By mixing one quart of
boiled linseed oil, three gills of
turpentine, six tablespoons of
raw umber, and six tablespoons
of whiting.
Q. How can I prevent ants and
roaches?
A, Wash the kitchen and pan-
try shelves and woodwork with
a hot, strong solution of alum
water, as a preventive against
ants and roaches.
Millions Never
See Red!
When .a market gardener was
accused of slackness in picking
tomatoes, he indignantly replied
that he was working, as hard as
ever. Special tests, showed that
he was right.
But as the man was colour
blind he could not tell when
the tomatoes were turning from
green to orange-red, when they
should be picked. New research
into colour blindness shows that
every year it becomes commoner
in men than in women.
Every single colour appears
as a shade of grey to the person
who is completely colour blind.
An eyesight specialist who in
forty-five years tested the sight
of more than 100,000 railway
workers said that more than a
million people in Britain alone
were colour blind. He said that
otherwise normal persons had
2,000 times described to' him
pillar-box red as bright green.
Some people are colour blind,
in only one eye. While the right
eye may see red as red, the left
sees it' as black or grey. Most
of us have one eye that sees
colours more brightly than the
other. Try the experiemnt of
looking at a stained glass win-
dow or a brightly painted pic-
ture with first one eye and then
the other. You'll probably find
there is a distinct difference in
tne impression, conveyed, Both
eyes see the colour's, but to one
they are much less vivid and
less contrasting than the other.

Lotteries In

kissed t h e plaintiff's hand.
"'Please don't be angry with ust!
be asked widowed Frieda Wen-
ke, 54 'This is merely a tech.
nicality,"
But the "technicality" — Frau
Wenke's suit claiming she had
been bilked out of her 500,000
Deutsche - mark ($120,000) top
prize in the national lottery —
was the hottest case in West
Germany. Despite the lottery's
defense that the widow's win-
ning selection last March had
been destroyed by an embezzling
ticket taker, millions considered
her the wronged heroine of the
weekly drama that is becoming
a national passion — Lotto,
Every Sunday afternoon, in
one of three cities (Bremen,
Wiesbaden, and Munich) which
rotate the event; a huge cylin-
der spins 49 numbered plastic
balls for 30 seconds, then spills
out the six winning numbers.
Anyone who beats the 14 mil-
lion-to-1 odds, against picking
all six numbers gets a tax-free
million-to-1 payoff on his 12-
cent ticket, while enough lesser
prizes are handed out to send
one German in four back to
work on a new system, It has
taken just five years for the
lotteries to grow from a budget-
;balancing experiment in West
Berlin to a giant that rakes in 1
billion Deutsche marks ($240
million) annually (13.'alf the take
goes to the ten state governments
that jointly ,operate the game).
One war widow bet every
week on the registration num•
ber of her husband's grave at
Verdun, finally won the top
prize, and sobbed: "That's how
my Hans wanted IL" A brick-
layer buried 49 numbered slips
in the sand, shoveled out six,
and hit the jackpot. But while a
mathematics professor vainly
spent his spare cash on a sys-
tem, his wife won with a ran-
dom bet of 100 pfennige (24
cents).
In one case of lax controls,
three ticket checkers repeatedly
filled out winning tickets after
the drawings and made off with
2,290,000 marks ($545,000) with-
in a year. (To tighten its sys-
tem, the lottery plans to go auto-
matic, with robot ticket punchers
on street corners in a 'few
months.)
But instead of damaging Ger-
mans' confidence in the turns of
chance, the widely publicized
scandale only inspired more of
them with the idea of chasing
rainbows. Justifying their faith,
the court in Hannover ruled
that Frau Wenke had found the
rainbow's end and must be given
her pot of gold.

To ever skier the name Arl-
berg is magic — white magic.
The name derives from a eerie
fleeting link between Tyrol and
Vorarlberg, as well known in
medieval times as it is today.
The approach to the "Temple of
the White Are" as skiing is cal-
led with reverence hereabouts,
is through narrow passes glint-
ing with black and white marb-
led bark of .silver birches . .
Here is the land of the ava-
lanches, a spectacular winter
force in the Arlberg. Late in
the spring is their crashing time
when snow, which sometimes
does not entirely disappear dur-
ing the summer, is carved into
improbable shapes by the mov-
ing sabers of ice. One's imag-
ination takes wings as the eye.
