FOOD FOR CATTLE
TO Be TESTED.

BERK ELEY. Sept. 2s.-As the result
of Professor VIII. Jordan's visit to the
university unique experiments similar
conducting with cows as subjects at the
Geneva Agricultural station in New
York will be arranged for here in con-
neetion with Professor Majors work
as professor Of animal industry and
the work of Professor Jeffa in the field
of nutrition study.
Human subjects have been often used
in the past to test the value of foods,
under the eyes of scientists. this bein &
Professor Jaffa's specially. but the use
of cows In this connection is a com
pafatfte novelty. The dairy interests
of the State would be the gamer by
such experiments. as the work done
would be the sort calculated to prove
what foods are. best for milk and beef
in cattle. Incidentally, the experiments
would throw light on some of the prob
lens that nutrition experts seek to
solve in connection with the consump-
tien of food by human beings
Professor Jordan, who has Just left
Berkeley for New York, discussed with
Professor Jaffa while here the work
done in New York and the possibilities
of carrying on similar experiments
here The experiments now being con-
Quoted at the Geneva station are ex-
pected to reveal much that dairymen
have sought TO know regarding the
merits of various foods for cows. At
Berkeley the big dairy farm of the uni
yersity would be available for such
purposes, and if the funds can be pro-
cured the Recommendation Will be made
by Professor Jaffa that the experiments
be tried.

DECLARES CITY CAN
HAVE NO RIVALS.
w. II. Mills Says Place of
San Francisco Is as Sure
as the Law of Gravitatlon
DISCUSSION OF TOPIC

BERKELEY, Sept 23.--The Unita-
rian Club of Berkeley, including in its
membership more than 100 of the lead
ing men of the college town. gave its
semi annual dinner at the Hillside Club
house last night The subject chosen
for discussion was "The Future of San
Francisco"
w. H. Mills discussed the relation of
the Suburbs of San francisco to the
metropolis. Charles KeeIer, the peet,
spoke briefly w. f. Payson, president
Of the Unitarian Club, acted as toast
master
Mr.. Mills said in part
San Francisco was built by modern
forces and has tremendous possinfli-
ties. 1t Is the center OF hnanciai ex-
true history. OF the city cannot be writ
ten. No other city stands by the sea
and has better facilities for transports
ton There is~ne more danger OF san
Francisco having a rival than the law
of gravtitdtion need fear repeal
The duty of the suburbs is to help
take care of the civic conditions.
Berkeley is an independent city. The
best expression OF civic virtue is TO be
found here You will make great
city of Berkeley IL you leave it as It
was originally made.
Interstate commerce VIII have a
marked effect on cities. A vast amount
of the commerce. that has gone to ter.
minal points has been the occasion OF
much anxiety. This need not disturb
us. Interior towns will grow as they
have never grown before, and hence
San Francisco will have vaster ter
ritory to urge on with greater speed
than formerly.
Charles Kee1er said in part:
The city of many hills overlooking
bay and ocean, guardian of the Sierra
gold and holder of the keys to unlock
Cathay, has suffered as no other city
has suffered before. Today, facing a
loss that has appalled, all, she is the
richest in the federation of the cities
The courage of her people has been
tested and proved the love and loyalty
of her children.
When will be the city beautiful be
realized? The Burnham plans will not
be adopted because of the selfshness
of individual property owners who can
not see that whatever is good for the
city as a whole in the long run will
be good for individuals. Suburbanites
should talk up civic pride and de things
that would be for the good of the city
regardless Of personal interests.
