Insects Offer
Hunter Thrills
Lawrence, Kan, (UP) — Hunting
and capturing insects, according to
Dr. R. H. Beamer, University of Kan-
sas entomologist, is a more thrilling
sports than shooting ducks, or moose
and vastly more important.
“Three-fourths of the animals on
the edrth are insects”, he pointed out.
"Last year they destroyed a billion
dollars in wealth and last year was a
bad one for all of u»." , ■
Dr. Beamer's way of capturing rare
insects is not a parlor sport His oc-
cupation sends him te digging into
glaciers, wading in trnpioal pools
and hunting through desert sand. Oc-
casionally he even uses a sfn-ahootsr
“I use a slx-shodter to subdue the
elusive cicada”, he said. "We use 22-
calibet tongs filled With mustard

Another instrument Dr. Beamer us-

nose spray. This i* valuable, he said,

i Thus, the homemaker in a family
of five will average 90 trips dally to
the sink and will work there for an
fiour and a half.
A photo-electric eye was used to
Jielp record every trip made, together
■with the time spent at the sink. The
U. S. Bureau of Home Economics was
asked to make this study by the chair-
man of the committee on kitchens of
th® President’s conference on Home
Building and Home Ownership, and it
received outside cooperation.
An analysis of the study shows that
the Washington, D. C., housewives in
whose kitchens th* photo electric eye
was placed, spent from 38 to 152 min-
utes at the sink each day, while the
number of trips varied from 82 to
217. The reasons for such variations,
according to the article, can be deter
pained only by more detailed studies.
The definite factual data hitherto un-
available In such studies should make
possible more definite conclusions as
to the comparative efficiency of dif-
ferent types of kitebeh arrangement.
