Use* Window in Chest to
Study Internal Diseases
Arnold’s Park, Iowa.—Use of a win-
dow placed in the chest to observe the
action of the heart, lungs and di-
aphragm of animals tn the study of
internal diseases has been perfected
by Dr. Walter L. Mendenhall, former
head of the Drake university physics
U«fWftK«BC--------
Mendenhall Is head of the depart-
ment of pharmacology at tbe Boston
university school of medicine.
The device is expected to prove val-
uable in the treatment of tuberculosis,
heart disease and lung disorders. The
window is made of photographic film
and is placed in the chest opening, in-
serted between the muscles.
Physicians believe It is possible that
the window could\be used for treat,
ment of disease by ultraviolet, light by
substituting a quarts window for the
photographic film window. Doctor
Mendenhall demonstrated his expert-
ment in April before the Federated
Societies for Experimental Biology in
Philadelphia.

SAN BENITO. — A proposal to
trade three carloads of valley fruits
and vegetables for one carload of
Panhandle wheat has been made to
the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce.
"We have the vegetables, the Pan
handle has the wheat, so lets swap ’-
Bell remarked.
Bell said raw wheat can be made
into a palatable cereal by running it
through an ordinary coffee grinder.
In the event the swap is consum-
ated the Red Cross will be asked to
assist by securing free transportation
over the railroads for the wheat and
vegetables.

AUSTIN.—Opposition to any new
state tax at this time has been voiced
by the tax advisory committee of the
Texas Press Association.
In lieu of further levies, the com-
mittee adopted a resolution asking
the legislature to balance its budgets
by strict aconemy rather than by
raising additional revenue. A cut of
$5,000,000 annually in state expen-
ditures was requested.
Retrenchment in local government
a1s< was advocated as a means of re-
lieving taxpayers. Reductions in the
cost of public school system and in
the expenses of state courts was pro-
posed. ,
The legislature was urged to pro-
vide “a larger freedom from consti-
tutional and statutory inhibitions’ to
allow the smaller political subdivi-
gEf visions to effect needed economies.
- Th* committee appointed a sub
committee to plan an aggressive tax
—r reduction program.
' Ancient Indian Guard*
Ritual of Ponca Tribe
Ponca City, Okla.—Only one mem-
ber of the Ponca Indian trib^ is left
who knows the secret ceremonies of
the medicine men of the Pongis.
Little Dance, who doss not know
the exact date of his birth, but does
know he was a small child when the
meteor group of 1833 passed over the
United States, lives on the reserva-
tion south of here, with his sons and
daughters, and will not talk to wh>te
men.
From historical records, which ver-
ify his story of the comets, telling of
a meteor showed on November 12 and
13, 1833. the ancient Ponca must be
well over onehundred.
Among the secrets of his tribe,
which he alone could reveal and
which will probably die wittr him, are
the clan secrets of the Poncas. The
seven clans of the Poncas—the Medi-
cine band, Buffalo band. Ice band,
Deer band, Snake band—all have lost
their rituals. They are known only
by the medicine man. —-—-
Little Dance takes as active a part
as possible in the sacred dances, and
always helps with the arrangements.
Alone, he holds hundreds of secrets,
from the mixing of paint to the cere-
monies of the forbidden sun dance.
The Pathfinder, national magazine
published in Washington, D. C. has
a faculty for procuring the odd, the
queer, and freakish in fact* and fan-
cies on many subjects. They run a
department entitled “Name o’ Howls”
in which queer and oddly suggestive
names are listed. Last week their
“Howls” editor made mention of the
| fact that Ross R. Wolfe is president
of the Lions Club at Stephenville.
Other odd names in the department
for that wetk were as follows:

There was much about it in The Voice
The Marshall shops of the Texas

Free Press editor a few days ago
was permitted to examine a queer
pulp-like material in a big at Cara-
way A Sons Feed Store. The .mixture
hail been prepared for Rich Cowan
and was nothing but paper—old
waste paper- which Mr. Cowan, Co
myn school auto mechanic, liad Mr.
Caraway to grind to? pulp in his
feed mill. Cowan took the finely
»round material out to Cornyn and
mixed it with starch and plastered
walls with it. It works fine, he stat- j
ed. He tore off a sample of the new
wall board after it had dried thor-
oughly and it is on display at the

Cowan thinks the paper pulp can I
be mixed up with glue and some col-
oring and made into pleasing tints
for wall finishing. It is applied with
a trowel, the same as cement or plas-

According to the publie relations
representative of Progressive Tex-
ans, Inc., few people realize the val-
ue of the annual butter and egg pro-
duction of the United States is worth
more than twice as much as the en-
tire wheat crop. Of even great impor-
tance is the fact that instead of being
a seasonal source of revenue, availa-
ble once a year, it is an all around
eash crop. In J930 the farm value of
the wheat crop was >5^6,000,000; of
butter >608,000,000 and of eggs >789-
000,000. Some day Texas will lead as
the most important of the dairying
states as well as the state that is
the largest producer of eggs.
