'rats are used to study tooth decay Find Soundness of Dentition Depends on Diet. ? Two Johns Hopkins university scientists have made public discoveries that go far toward ex.dahlia* the ways In which diet causes, ,r prevents. decay of teeth. Two fertillsfiS ph??sphorus and calcium, regulated h\ vitamin l> are the tooth *a*ers. The experiments showing how to work the combination of the three sub.stance* were explained In Science, ollloial oi-an of the A inerican'''Association for the Advancement of Science, by pr K N'- MeCollum and lleyry Klejn. Their work was aided by grants from tl)e American Dental association. The tests were made on rats. In tl,e laboratories their curetukors grew tooth cavities In the rodents almost at will, or prevented them almost entirely. > All this was done simply by giving the rats the right proportions of phosphorus and calcium. This correct ratio was.about four parts of phosphorus to three of calcium. Proportions of three to two did not work. Not only the ratio was Important but the amount also. There was a minimum of the fertilizers below which they failed of effectiveness. When the rats were fed too little and In wrong proportions, the report states that 80 per cent of them developed cavities In 140 days. With properly balanced diet this decay was cut to 5 per cent. The Investigators further ascertained that the portion of the phosphorus In the blood Is of vital Importance. and that this els related to vitamin IX Calcium and phosphorus are two of the principal fertilizers. They reach man daily In many different kinds of food, but their proportions vary greatly. Vitamin.D comes both from eating food and from sunshine or ul^ tra-violet light on the skin. - Report Reveals Whale Supply Is Decreasing Wash i ngt on.?The study of V11n mI ns A and l> and the abundance of phytoplankton and zooplankton (basis of fish life) receive considerable attention la the annual report of the commissioner of fisheries for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1031.

Cover crops made satisfactory growth throughout the county and have been turned under.'! These statements of facts from Lauiens through C. 11. Cannon, county farm agent, are typical of many I others from agents over the state, indicating that South Carolina farmers are resorting to cheaper fertility for crops through home-mixing of fertilizer formulus and through cover crops for growing at home some of the fertility needed for economic crop production. , From iSpartanburg, County Agent Krnest Carnes reports that, "We have been called upon continually assisting with home-mixed fertilizer form'ulas"; and Greenville County Agent Gray states that "Home-mixing is more general than I have over known it to be and hundreds of farmers are mixing according to our formulas." So too in Fairfield, occording to R. H. Lemmon, county farm agent, "more home-mixed fertilizer is being used than ever before." And in York, L. W. Johnson, county farm agent, sees good results from eight fertilizer meetings at which information was given on home-mixing. As to cover crops S. M. Byars, An-C derson county fartn agent, says: "Austrian peas and vetch planted one row to the cotton middle completely covered the ground and made about all the vegetable matter that can be turned under with an ordinary plow"; W. F. Howell, Lancaster agent, states tlhat much more interest is being .shown in legumes; and W. H. Craven, Bamberg agent? reports that the demonstrations with Austrian peas and vetch promise - much encouragement for better yields of cotton and corn following the legumes.

Lindbergh was found .dead yesterday in the Souvland hills of New Jersey. The child had been murdered. Blows on the head, indicted probably the same March night he was kidnaped from the home of his famous father, caused the infant's, death. The body, lying face down in a hollow, and partly covered by leaves and wind-blown debris, was discoyerud by a negro truckman in a patch of woods less than five miles from the Lindbergh estate. The body had been struck once on top of the head on the left side and once on the right below the ear, either blow sb violently delivered that it would have caused instant death. It lay within 75 feet of where linesmen had strung special circuits to carry on world-wide communications in the long and unsuccessful effort to get back the curly headed infant. So badly was the body decomposed that it had to be identified by pieces of clothing, bone structures and teeth, and it was impossible to give the police the slightest clew as to exactly what kind of instrument had brought death. To the Trenton establishment of a county physician came Betty Gow, nursemaid to the child and thd' last person to see him alive the night ho was stolen 72 days ago to forge the final link of identification. She made her identification both from the appearance of the body and the child's garments. The tragic news found the mother of the child, in the words of an intimate friend, bearing up with her "usual equanimity." His flying father was absent from Hopewell, presumably pursuing a private search to which he has devoted ail his energies. . , He was communicated with, however, and he hastened toward Hopewell from an undisclosed place. Whether the child had been killed with calculating purpose by criminals who found it advantageous to them, to get rid of the infant or whether he had been struck and thrown from a fast-moving automobile by panic-stricken abductors was a matter of conjecture. The state's law enforcement agencies sprang to the task of trapping the kidnapers with renewed rigor. Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, state police head, announced that he already had a gang under suspicion, and Governor A. Harry Moore contributed the statement that "Every attempt should be made now to find the murderers of the Lindbergh baby " Significance was attached to a hurried telephone call which summoned the county prosecutor, Irwin E. Marshall. to the Lindbergh home for a ] conference lute tonight. j The skull bore a hole the size of | a 25-ecnt piece above the forehead, j An attempt had been made to buiy the body. The coroner said death was due to a compound fracture of the skull. The hair of the dead child tallied with the shade of the blond, curlyhaired Lindbergh heir, 20 months old when he was stolen. An undershirt and flannel band furnished a more positive link. Similar articles of clothing from the Lindbergh baby's wardrobe were brought to the spot from the home. They matohed closely enough to convince the authorities they had found the body of the famous baby for whom hundreds of thousands of policemen in every part of the globe had searched. Then as police worked feverishly I to be sure of their identification, telephones rang in the state house at Trenton, N. J. _ ' Lindbergh estate for an important announcement. The telephone rang aga:n. It was Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, state police head, who had been the field marshal of the official investigation, calling his superior, Governor A. Harry \J??ore. "Colonel Schwarzkopf tells me the Lindbergh baby has been found 'dead," the governor informed the i Associated Press correspondent. I Three hours before (about 3:15 p | m.) a truck bearing four men had stopped on a steep grade between Hopewell and the hamlet of Mount Rose. The vehicle halted opposite a wood separated from the road by a small ditch. William Allen, a negro, went into the woods and saw the body. "The body was pretty well concealed by leaves, dirt and brush," the subsequent formal statement by Schwarzkopf explained. " Going under the brush he (Allen) lowerec his head and as he raised a branc> he saw a skeleton on the ground." "It was in a bad state of deconv position" was the way Schwarzkop! summarized the gruesome details of the condition of the child's body. Physicians later theorized tho compound fracture was caused either by a blow on the head with a blunt instrument or from the effects of being hurled from a car. Dead Two Months The best medical estimate was that the body had been exposed to weather "about two months." However, physicians explained the child might, have been abandoned the same night ho was stolen from the home. Colonel Lindbergh had made an exhaustive private search for his stolen son, spending thousands of dollars and even paying a $50,000 ransom to the supposed kidnapers, was absent as the formal statement of the finding of the body came from police headquarters at his hilltop home. State troopers said he was not on the estate. Latest reports were that he had been in Virginia for more than two weeks attempting to establish contact with men posing as the kidnapers. Mrs. Anne Lindbergh, daughter of the late Senator Dwight W. Morrow, who expects the arrival of another child within several months, also was not seen. She and her mother, Mrs. Morrow, wore known to have) been in the house, however. A wind howled over the Sourland countryside thnt March 1 night when the kidnapers crept up a ladder to the second story window and took the baby from his crib while his parents and nurse were in other parts of the house. ^ A drizzling rain fell in the dusk of the late afternoon as those who had been summoned by the polico assembled in the garage. Schwarzkopf, a grave look on his face, told the arrivals to be seated around the long table in the garage, ami then discussed in detail how the statement was to be made public. J He dtyocted that no one leave tin| til he had concluded., And when he finished, he waved aside all questions and directed all outsiders to depart at once. Among the information to be withheld was any detail concerning the whereabouts and health of the Lindbergh family. As he read his typewritten statement in a quiet, deliberate voice, he seemed to be weighing each word carefully before uttering it. Pencils raced across pads and there were no interruptions except for the almost constant jangling of telephone bells. State troopers an[ swere<l the ealls but refuse<l to reply to any questions. To this dramatic denoumcnt the reaction of Governor Moore was expressed tersely: "Every attempt should bo made now to find the murderers .of the Lindbergh baby." His statement was echoed in a second statement from C?ol. Schwarzkopf, which was as follows: "As long as there was a possibility of the bay's being alive" the policed have been, acting with a certain amount of suppressed activity in order not to interfere with any negotiations that might result in the safe return of the baby. "Now that the body of the baby has been found every possible efFort will be used and all men necessary will immediately exercise every possible efFort to accomplish the arrest of the kidnapers and murderers. We have had under suspicion a group of persons suspected of being the kidnapers and immediate steps will be taken and are being taken to accomplish their arrest." Robbers broke int# the county courthouse at Purvis, Miss., Saturday and carried away a truck load of county records. <$ * t One Possi ble Use For Goodyear Gian tTire, i ?
