More Argentine Trouble
How Heavy Is the Earth?
Peggy Duncan's Feat
Scientists gathered in Cincinnati
£ - Rre told that new methods of reju-
venation, better than the Voronoff
"gland grafting," have been discov-
ered. Compounds made of mysterious
"hormones" will do the work, some
"hormones" being taken from glands
that could never be transplanted.
The old may be made to live a lit-
tle longer, but science will never dis-
cover anything better than friendly
death, which removes men worn out,
■and makes room for new energy.
The learned Voronoff, who, by the
use of monkey glands, extends the
lives of old men, says: "All Ameri-
cans are dead at fifty." He does not
mean that they actually die, but that
they are worn out at fifty, and
might as well be dead.
There is no doubt that men in
America wear out early. Their eyes
grow dim, hair white, step slow and
knees stiff, too early.
But they get things done, which is
more important than remaining young.
In the Argentine, few killed, many
wounded and new fighting threatened.

"M
Irigo/en, who used to denounce the
Monroe Doctrine,v may be changing
his mind.
If there were no Monroe Doctrine
this would be an excellent time for
some European or Asiatic power to
arrive, saying: "With your kind per-
mission, we shall take charge."
That won't be done with Uncle
Sam's Monroe warning posted up.
Doctor Heyl, deep and genuine sci-
entist of the bureau of standards, is
constructing a device to "make the
fourth dimension visible to the eye of
the average man." He will not suc-
ceed, because he himself cannot imag-
ine the fourth dimension except as a
mathematical theory. His contrivance
thus far looks "like a ball of pop-
corn."
The fourth, fifth, sixth and other
dimensions that are suggested seem
1:0 the ordinary man more like a ball
of "poppy-cock."
Doctor Heyl has done something
more interesting than making men
iiy to imagine what they cannot
imagine. He has actually weighed the
uarth on which we stand.
If you want to know how heavy it
is, write down the figures 6,592, fol-
lowed by eighteen zeros.
The earth is about as heavy as
Ihough made of solid steel, and it is
interesting to reflect that that appall-
ing weight, on which we live, floats
tiiways in time around the sun,
through the ether, if the ether really
exists, which is an unsettled question.
Peggy Duncan, a powerful nine-
teen-year-old girl from South Africa,
las conquered the English channel,
making the swim in sixteen hours fif-
teen minutes, but failing to beat Ger-
trude Ederle's record.
Miss Ederle can tell the young girl
from South Africa that swimming the
channel does not pay. You lose your
hearing in the cold water, and the
world soon loses its recollection of
you.
Richard Whitney, president of the
Few York Stock exchange, says the
country Is getting back on a firm busi-
ness basis, and that the stock ex-
change was In no way responsible for
tiae slump, unemployment, etc.
The latter statement is sound. The
stock exchange and the ticker reflect,
but do not create, conditions. The
wave of stock gambling, wasting the
time of able men and scattering the
money of fools, caused trouble, but
that is qpt the fault of the exchange.
Marconi believes that radio waves
will travel off mllions of miles through
space.
If the sun can send rays of light
through 93,000,000 miles of space,
there is no reason why radio waves
shouldn't go as far in the other dl-
r<»ction.
This ought to mean that we shall
tidk to the other planets soon, if
they have any inhabitants able to
talk.
In welcoming the French flyers en-
thusiastically President Hoover men-
tioned "Byrd, Rlckenbacker and the
rest" '
It is refreshing to hear Rlcken-
backer mentioned, proving that men
who flew in the war are not entirely
forgotten.
Their flying was unlike modern
p«ace flying, as different as the per-
formance of a hawk from that of a
carrier pigeon.
When Rlckenbacker went up, his
plane or another had to crash. Time
after time he went up, and time after
time he brought down the other
planes. This be did more often than
any other American flyer.
He has remained in the background
amid all the praise of peace flying.

Insecticides in
Safe Place Best
Never Keep Poison Where
It May Be Mistaken for
Harmless Article.
(Prepared by th« United State* Department
of Agriculture.)
A clerk's error in selling a sulphur-
arsenic insecticide instead of sulphur
resulted in the death of a number of
hogs and caused the dangerous illness
of two persons on a farm In New York,
an investigation by an official of the
food and drug administration, United
States Department of Agriculture, has
revealed.
The supposed sulphur was used In
preparing a sulphur and molasses mix-
ture as a home remedy for a cold. This
resulted in the critical illness of one
person. Then the drug was burned
and the fumes were inhaled by anoth-
er, also as an attempted treatment for
a cold. This person became uncon-
scious and foj- some days was severe-
ly ill.
Used to Cure Hogs.
Investigation by a federal food offi-
cial revealed that this same sulphur
had been used last fall In an attempt
to cure hogs thought to be suffering
from cholera. The preparation was
mixed with the feed of 60 hogs, and
a majority died. It was thought at
the time that the deaths were due to
cholera.
The sulphur used in the three cases
was analyzed by the food and drug ad-
ministration and was found to contain
arsenic. Fearing that others would
buy this same product and use It as
sulphur, the food officials traced It to
Its source.
Investigation showed that the mix-
ture supposed to be sulphur had been
bought at an Implement store. This
store had a bag of sulphur and also
a bag of sulphur-arsenic Insecticide.
Both were In a dark attic. A clerk
had sold the poisonous mixture think-
ing it was sulphur.
Three Errors Made.
Officials of the food and drug ad-
ministration point out three errors in
the situation. A poison should never
be kept where It may be mistaken for
a nonpoisonous product. Sulphur is
not recognized by the modern veterl*
nary science as a cure for hog cholera.
Modern medical science does not con-
sider sulphur effective in the treat-
ment in colds either as a mixture of
sulphur and molasses or as sulphur
fumes.
Hessian Fly Has Cost
Country $100,000,000
Of all the Insects working at cross
purposes with man, few have such rec-
ords for destructlveness as the Hes-
sian fly whose actlvitl6s have cost the
country as much as $100,000,000 in a
single year, the United States Depart-
melt of Agriculture's records show.
In 1927, according to estimates, Kan-
sas alone lost 20,000,000 bushels of
wheat to the Hessian fly. Serious out-
breaks of Hessian fly activity occurred
in 1914 and again in 1919 and/1920.
At least eight serious outbreaks have
occurred over the northeastern one*
third of the country within the last
45 years. Local activity is evident
almost every year somewhere in that
large territory or in limited areas on
the Pacific coast.
To assist the fanner in combating
this pest, the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture has recently pub-
lished Farmers' Bulletin 1627-F, "The
Hessian Fly and How Losses from It
Can Be Avoided." It is free to anyone
requesting it.
Irregular Soy Stands
Not Considered Good
The best yields of soy beans can-
not be obtained from stands that are
very Irregular as is common in moat
fields. Beans put In with a grain drill
at the University of Illinois, and which
produced what was considered a good
stand, were found to vary all the way
from one bean plant in a foot of drill
row to fifteen plants. Such irregular-
ity is largely due to variation In flow
of seed through the drill as modified
by the Jarring or lack of jarring ot
drill. Irregular physical condition of
the soil caused by clods and ridges
and holes make for irregular distribu-
tion of the seed and consequent lr-
regular stands and lower yield.

FACTS
PROTECTION FOE
MILK AND CREAM
Cleanly Conditions Are Es-
sential for Products.
Filth and manure, when they gain
entrance to milk and cream, give these
products their respective odors and
flavors. They further contaminate
them with many species of bacteria
which ferment the product, decompos-
ing one or more of its ingredients,
producing objectionable odors and fla-
vors, and yield ferments which in
turn have the power of decomposing
the product and deteriorating it in
storage.
In order to avoid unnecessary con-
tamination ox milk, cream and butter,
these products should be produced
and handled under cleanly conditions.
The barnyard should be kept dry and
free from manure so that the cows
are not compelled to wade kneedeep
in mud before they enter the stable.
The stable must be kept free from
accumulation of dirt and manure; the
manure should be removed at least I
once dally; the bedding must be clean
and the stable must be sufficiently
ventilated to eliminate strong animal
and manure odors; the floors should
be sprinkled with water before sweep-
ing and the sweeping must be done
several hours before milking, so as to
giv^ the dust in the air a chance to
settle before the milk Is exposed to
the stable air. •
' The cows must be kept clean, by
preventing them from lying down on
a filthy floor and their udder and<|
flanks should be wiped off with a;
clean, damp cloth before milking com-
mences ; the currying of the cows
..iiould be done after and not before
milking.
Control Milk Vitamins

the few foods to contain the whole
vitamin alphabet, varies according

monthly "Food Distribution."
