Scientists In House Car
To Study Migratory Birds
"! -
McPHEHSON, Kans., July 9 (#>)—
, A study of bird life from South Da
; kota to Mexico City and back along
• the western coast of Mexico and the
j United States to Canada will be made
1 this summer by Prof. H. T. Nininger,
j head of the biology department of
i McPherson College here.
Prof. Nininger will make the trip
under the auspices of the National
Ornithology Society and it is expeet
[ 1 ed to result in the most important dis
| coveries in the interests of ornithol
■ 1 ogy.
The party will start from western
South Dakota and travel in a house
| car built especially for the purpose,
j Care will be taken to keep well ahead
| of cold weather so that the birds can
be studied in advance of the migra
tory period for the American species.
Crossing the Rio Grande, the party
will continue south, gathering data on
the species both rare and common to
Mexico. While there the migratory
birds of the Northland, which Will
have sought winter quarters, will be
■ closely observed.
From the City o£ Mexico, Prof. Nin- |
I inger will move northward traveling
along the western coast of Mexico and
the United States until the Canadian
border is reached.
Colleges and universities along the
route in both countries have asked
for statements as to the result of his
findings.

HAIDA TEAM
I DEFEATS THE
LOCALS 7-4
SEWARD BALL TEAM BITES THE
DUST AT HANDS OF THE
FAST NAVY TEAM
The cutter llaida’s baseball team I
stood the Seward team on their ears !
in last evening’s game by the score
of 7-4. A good attendance witnessed
| the local team bite the dust. The
| Haida lads feel highly elated over the
j defeat of the Seward aggregation as
j this evens up the series.
The game went six innings with Bo
gart and Rood doing the twirling for
{ Seward and R. C. Robinson in the box
1 for the sailors. Bogart went four of
the six innings, pitching good ball
considering his sore arm from Satur
day's game, keeping the hits well
scattered. Robinson had the locals
on his hip, they failing to connect
with many solid punches. Gus Man
" they caught a few innings for Seward
(displaying much of his old time prow
j ess and smacking the ball a couple
i of times at bat.
The Haida team played a fast game
| showing marked improvement over
j the previous game here. A few mem
bers of the sailor team are real ball
j players. Comment was heard about j
; the exceptional good work of the j
11 catcher, Alderdice, until recently a
■ I member of a university team. In the
■ iniield Baker was the outstanding
j star of both teams. Three times he
; ! made sensational stops of line drives, ;
j which otherwise would have been
| good clean hits. 1
The only alibi the Seward boys have 1
is that they played a loose game in 1
j the field. The umpire, a member of '
i the crew, Carroll, worked through the 1
j game in a satisfactory manner to both (
I sides, with little protest being heard
over his decisions. (
Cracked Concrete Knits
and Becomes Stronger '
j 1 CHICAGO, July 9 (/p)—Concrete
that has been cracked will knit to
gether again according to tests just
| completed here by Prof. Duff A.
( Abrams at Lewis Institute. These are
said to be the first tests of the kind
ever made.
Concrete cylinders once cracked and
L retested after eight years exposure to
( the weather were found to be more
than two and one-quarter times as
I strong as they were when the original
; test was made. When they were ex
amined before retesting, practically
i all the cracks caused by the high pres
sure had disappeared. It was known
that concrete gained in strength with
age, but Prof. Abram’s test gave defi
nite knowledge concerning the healing
properties of concrete which was kept
moist.
The original test was made in 1917
by applying an average pressure of
one and one-fifth tons per square inch
to a number of 28-day old concrete cvl
inders, 6 by 12 inches, which was suf
! ficient to cause cracking. This month
another compressive strength test was
made with these same cylinders which
then withstood an average pressure
of more than two and a half tons per
square inch, a pressure 228 percent
as great as the blocks were able to
bear eight years ago.
Fine cracks which appeared in a
test concrete bridge when it was sub
jected to a tremendous load, later
closed up. The cracks were carefully
mapped and photographed after two
preliminary tests had been made. A
year later when the bridge was over
loaded again, comparison revealed the
old cracks did not reopen, but new
cracks appeared under the unusual
strain. Prof. Abrams stated that this
condition was due to the healing of
the cracks and the forming of a joint
even stronger than the unbroken con
crete.

Late Rains In California
Upet Outdoor Movie Plans
LOS ANGELES, July 9 (/p)—Unu
sually late rains in southern Califor
nia this spring not only damaged
fruit and grain to some extent but
also retarded film crops. Movie pro
ducers of Hollywood report a loss of
more than $500,000 due to the unseas
onal rainfall.
After the middle of April film pro
ducers expecting clear days, prepared
for outside scenes. The late rains
upset all calculations, forced impor
tant takes to be suspended, and in
some cases compelled the use of ex
pensive indoor sets for pictures which
could have been made mor economi
