He sen it to the Bureau of Biological Sur vey in Washington and recently re ceived the following letter in reply: The Biological Survey is in repor of your recent communication. Tin bird carrying band number 703,831 was a black duck banded at Muske gon, Michigan, by Willard Ferguson September 19, 1932. "By means of these, numbers metal bands important investigations relative to the migrations and othei facts in the life histories of North American birds are being advanced bands are attached to the birdj by voluntary cooperators, both in thi JF.ni. States and Canada, who serv< TjWithout pay. Success in the bin ^banding work is therefore dependen "upon the reports of persons in botl ^countries on such banded birds a eocome to their attention. ? "Migratory waterfowl have beei ^banded in large numbers at more thai -J fifty stations scattered over the con otinent and have been recovered as fai <o south as Central America and thi 5 Island of Trinidad. Small song bird; =3 have been banded in still larger num bcrs and many interesting facts con cerning their movements have beei discovered. These data are not onlj of scientific importance but they alsc are of much service to the adminis tration of this valuable wild-life re source. The Biological Survey ac cordingly desires to have a report or every banded bird that may be re covered and it is hoped that you wil continue to help in this work by re porting any bands that come to youi attention giving the number (wit! series designation, if any, as A, B etc.), date of recovery, and locality Thanking you for your interes and cooperation, I am Very truly yours," Paul Redington, The band on the duck shot down bi ^r. Smith is of aluminum and is ap proximately two inches long by three eights of an inch wide. On it is in scribed tlie number of the band anc the fo lowing: "Notify Biological Sur vey, Washington, D.

Dr. Smith now has the band and th. letter carefully filed away as a souve n i r. u. s. c._ Johnson Talks To Engineers "Proper draining around bridge and railroad constructions" was the sub ject emphasized by H. A. Johnson member of the United States Sanitarj Survey, in his talk given before engineering professors and students al the University. Mr. Johnson is working in connection with the Health Bureau in Columbia for a few days. Mr. Johnson discussed the differenl methods and ways of controlling maaria, and encouraged to the fullest extent the idea of screening. Present day forms of controlling malaria were compared with formei c a^s when a single patient was treated w'th quinine while thousands of lives are saved jointly now by means ol screening or the draining of a swamp This is Mr. Johnson's second trip to the University on such a mission Uch talks are made annually in the engineering department.

Professors Inte j On Herty A Mills And Lipscomb Of Chemistry In Future Of Paper And In Sout Confidence in the future of the s paper Industry in the South and in e South Carolina was expressed by Dr. ' J. E. Mills, and Dr. Guy Lipscomb of the University chemistry department 4 interviewed recently concerning an announcement made by Dr. Charles ' H. Herty, former president of the 1 American Chemical Society and head ' of the Georgia research, of the revolu- ' ? tionary discovery in making white * i print paper out of the Georga pine ' trees. ' ' "The paper industry ought to be 1 in the South?and it's going to be!", 1 ' declared Dr. Lipscomb. < 5 Dr. James E. Mills, professor of Organic Chemistry, said the discovery i 1 by Dr. Charles H. Herty, "is a great 1 thing for southern industry and agri- < } culture. Dr. Herty is one of the best - known chemists of America. He has , - had a great deal of experience in | 1 commercial work, and what he says 1 can be depended on. 1 "At the present time a large num- ( 5 ber of people in the South arc making < Kraft paper of the pine, but they have j 1 found it difficult before to get white 1 paper because of the resin in the pine. "Dr. Herty thinks he has the means r of avoiding trouble with excess of j 2 resinous product, and that it will be 5 possible to make white paper from the ' pine. "Due to the very rapid growth of the pine in South Carolina we ought to have quite an advantage over the ' more northern states and Canada." In discussing the opportunity for ( paper industries in South Carolina, Dr. ^ Lipscomb said: "Pine trees are naturally adapted to i our climate, and we have the kalin? white clay?here in South Carolina, i r i 1 need I Thaf s the J Tobaccos pic Chesterfield Smokers notice Chesterfields tha t just enough Turkish i 1 spicy, aromatic flavoi to a cigarette as seasc For only by blendi the right amounts of n with the right amou get the flavor and ai smokers enjoy.

We have all the resources needed for the industry." "We already have a paper mill in Hartsville under David R. Cokcr. It is one of the few in the South. It manufactures Kraft paper and has aeen extremely successful. Until now, however, Mr. Coker has not been able to manufacture white paper. Coker ias used any kind of field pine, but le has found that if it is cut at a cer:ain time, it does not contain so much "esin, which is the substance which discolors the wood-pulp. Work on the subject of manufacturing paper pulp from southern pine trees was started before the War he said. "Pines in South Carolina arc planted very thickly by acre, and they have to be trimmed out to make timber. These small trees which are trimmed DUt may be used for the manufacture af paper, and would be so much 'velvet" to the owner of the land since they would not be used other-wise. "The calcium sulfite for the process jf dissolving out the lignite from the pulp is also available in South Carolina. "This is a wonderful opportunity for the South. The only objection is that the biggest newspapers, which buy the most print paper, are situated in the North. Some of these papers have an interest in the Canadian timberlands, which now supply their paper, and the growth of the paper industry in the South would cut down their business." u. 8. o.

He was associated with Dominick and Dominick in New York for three years, and is now with the Interstate Security Company in Charlotte. He has many close relatives in Columbia. The bride-elect, Miss Goldsmith, is a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Louis DuPont Irving of 16 East Sixty-Fifth street, New York City. She spent her childhood in England and later attended Oldficld's school in Baltimore, Md. She made her debut in New York in 1930. Her summers have been spent at Irvington-on-the Hudson and Southampton. U. H. O. Thirteen Are Taken In Club Thirteen members were initiated into the Quintilian Club recently at a meeting held in the group's newly acquired club room in the Education building. These were: Lena Dunlap, Roberta Lee Hudson, Mary C. Moseley, Frances Cardwell, Margaret Estes, Nell West, Mary Murray, Daisy Butler, Annie Ruth Welch, Mary Estelle Kelly, Emma Watson, Esther Glaser, and Sara Pearlstine. Professor J. McT. Daniel at this time addressed the club on the subject of "Curriculum Changes in South Carolina Schools." Following the program a social hour was enjoyed. u. B. c.

The coroner's inquest was held iround a bath tub in the chemistry ab in LeConte with a number of Caroma students serving on the jury. One witness swore that Tommy Tadpole vas an accessory to the fact but this vas ruled out because of the tragic leath of that would-be frog. Poor Tommy met an ignominious end when ie tried to escape down the drain pipe. In the course of the proceedings the vhole history of Johnny and his reations was brought to light. Johnny ind his relatives were the fond step :hildren of Dr. J. E. Mills, research .hemist, who has been experimenting >n the effects of quinine on tadpoles. Quinine is what is known as a selective toison: to some it is certain death while t is life to others. These poor innocent objects of exicrimentation were placed in a nice oomy bath tub in the lab. There hey played ring-around-the-rosy, post >ffice and other innocent games. But >ne by one the tadpoles gave their lves for the advancement of scientific csearch. Tommy and Johnny were he last of the polliwogs. When Tommy passed beyond, Johnny pinned ind wilted to a mere shadow of his ormer self.
