LI (Second Seetiony- TIIE WAYXESVILLE T.IOtTAINTXII Holiday Afternoon, January cntists Say IT"! Vbliane In Tin fans ddks -1-2 foil fp By ALTON L. B LAKES LEE Associated Press Science Reporter NEW YORK Your teeth can pack a fair electric wallop. Two teeth can generate a current of half a volt or more, if they have different kinds of metal in them as fillings. When they ' meet, you might get a little shock. Or you cm get a shock when a spoon or fork touches both teeth. It has been' known for years that fillings of different metals can set up electric current. How strong it can be has been measured by Dr. William Schrei ver, professor of physics at the University of Oklahoma, and Dr. Louis E. Diamond, biochemist in the univerrily's school of medicine. They made tests on 137 pa tients, under, an Office of Naval Research project. "It is remarkable ' that the fillings of some persons have electrical potential differences of over half a volt, and yet these persons apparently suffer no dis comfcrt and apparently no ill effects," they told an American Chemical Society meeting. ' The iiHHiih battery is like the simple baUery you can make by dipping a copper wire and an iron wire into a glass of salt water, and holding the two upper ends of the wires together. Current flows through the wires, and through the salt water, which Is an elec trolyte. The saliva in the mouth and the fluid in the jawbone also can act as electrolytes and con duct an electric current. "If two teeth are filled, one with gold and the other with sil ver amalgam, these fillings are in contact with the saliva at their ex posed surfaces, and with the bone fluid at the surfaces down in the teeth. "Thus the cold and amalgam together with the saliva consti tute one electric cell, and the gold and amalgam together with the bone-fluid constitute another electric cell. These cells tend to send electric current from the amalgam to the gold through both fluids." Each cell generates an electri cal pressure, and a current can flow , between them : even when there's no metallic connection made to the fillings. Dr. Schriever and Dr. Diamond, using meters,' measured the aver age normal electric currents flow ing between various combinations New,E One MinutQ to put on implements NEW EAGLE HITCH SAW !!

All you do as you read the script is to draw SENATOBIA, Miss, (UP) M. P. Moore, the number one Polled Herefore breeder In America, has what he calls the "cattle cure for the cotton jinx." It consists in spreading the gos pel of balanced agriculture, espe cially the development of beef cat: tie in the cotton South. It's an old story now that the South has moved a long way from the days of 'taters, 'pone and crin olined ladies. Industry ha j moved in and wages have gone up. But for Moore there's a greater future in cattle. In the past year, he traveled through 35 states as president of the American Polled Hereford Association. A six-foot four-inch 240-pound-er, Moore is a firm believer in cat tle as the future economic hope of the South. Rounded Program His own sprawling 12,Q00-acre farm here is devoted to a rpunded program of cotton, corn, oats, hay, timber, pastureland and cattle. The land was acquired over two previous generations. When Moore, known as "Hot'' Moore because of his prowess as a baseball pitcher at the University of Alabama, re turned home from college in 1926, most of the acreage was devoted to cotton. There was no sound planned program in effect. At a family council, his father and grandfather told Moore to go ahead with his plans for cattle raising. He said it was a question of beef or dairy animals, and he decided on beef, "Like everyone else at the time," Moore said, "I didn't know a thing about cattle. I was typical of the cotton South. But I learned." He started his now world-famous herd that year when he bought 10 commercial heifers and one' registered bull. He kept on at a modest pace until 1933, when Tie bought 11 registered females and two bull calves to. raise his own bulls and set up a commercial op eration. On Right Track Farmers boui'ht every bull calf produced in the five-year period up to 1933, convincing .him that he definitely was on the right track. In fact, an aunt of his once faints ed when he paid $3,550 for a Polled Hereford heifer. But she lived to see him prove the wisdom of his investment. -., Moore's Circle M Ranch since then has produced more cham pions than any other herd. And that's no small distinction, since the Polled Hereford Association. with headquarters at Kansas City, Mo., has more than 3.900 members. This year's national show and sale at Memphis, Tenn., had 65 herds from 20 states entered, and of those, 20 herds had Circle M blood lines. . So widespread has become his fame, that his breed stock now is being shipped abroad. In the last 16 months, 14 head of seed stock I went to Argentina,- Uruguay;" New Zealand, South Africa and the British West Indies. Interested vis itors have visited the ranch from other South American countries, Australia and New Zealand in the last six months. Moore calls the Polled Hereford "tomorrow's cattle today." He says It is gentler, less dangerous, feeds better and gives the producer less loss from horn bruises in the car casses. , Benefit to South He maintains that cattle produc tion in the South Will rut Wn the cost of meat and dairy products to the consumer by eliminating long-distance handling and trans portation costs. v ' "It's fine for the South espe cially," he said, "because It pro vides n 365-day annual income, will give more and better food to more people, helps soil conserva tion, offers more future for a di versified program and provides a better future for the young who remain on the farms." But Moore pointed out that Polled Hereford production isn't confined to the South by any means. The breed; was started when Warren Gammon ; of Iowa gathered seven females and four bulls and started developing the new animals. Today the number of Polled Herefords registered is greatest in Texas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Oklahoma, California, Nebraska, Mississippi, North Carolina and Kentucky. Moore, himself is a typical prod uct of the new South. Born, raised and educated here; with a B.S. from the University of Alabama, ho is married to Annie Louise Fant of Clarksdale, Miss. They have three daughters, Lucile. four; Rosemary, six, and Louise, eight, melodies out of your mind to fit everything from the hero to his dog. ... The dog, in Nat Finston's cur rent assignment, will romp on the screen to the accompaniment of Tchaikovsky's piano composition "Humoresque". The hero, a lonely and luckless fellow, reminds Flnston of Tchai kovsky's music for "None but the Lonely , Heart", But he didn't say what he's going to do about com bining them when the man takes his dog for a walk. Matter of fact, the whole picture, which is Harry M. Popkin's "Here Lies Love," reminds Finston of Tchaikovsky. More Tchaikovsky , "It has emotional profundity in the best Tchaikovsky manner," he said. "The whole story brings me to his music." He picked the slow movement of the Symphony No. 4 for the heroine, Betsy Drake. "Feminine triste and sympa thetic," he explained, "but not without energy." A character actor, Henry O'Neill, who's the cause of all the trouble, drew the finale of Symphony No; 6. "It gives play to the cross-cur-rnts, conflicts, emotions, despair and drama his portrayal takes us through," Finston said. Getting past the actors to other feature of the show, there's a horse, named Shamrock, Finston picked a piano dance for him. W EOXG PLACE AND TIME DUNN, N. C. (UP) Neill McCray picked the wrong place and time to play Peeping Tom. The place was the home of former Police Sgt. C. E. Moore. The time was when Moore came home without his door key and circled to the bed room window to ask his wife to let him in.
