BE MADE OF CANNED
 GOODS

NEW YORK, March 15. - It is an. nounced here by the national re. search council that an exhaustive in. vestigation is to be undertaken to de. termine to what extent, if any, the danger of poisoning is involved in the use of canned goods. The National Gamers Association, representing practically all producers of canned foodstuffs in this country, is to bear the entire expense of the investigation which will be conducted entirely in- dependent of the association except in the matter of the financing of the work. A sum of over s100,000 will be appropriated by the Gamers Associa tion, should the work require so large an expenditure.
 The proposal to make such an in vestigation was brought forward by Dr. George E. Hale, director of the Mt Wilson Solar Observatory. and chair man of the national research council who believed there was widespread interest in such an important subject as the danger of poisoning from the use of canned goods. Approaching the National Gamers Association, Dr. Hale found that organization eager to have such an independent lnvesti gation made, firm as it was in the belief that canning methods as gen. erally used in this country thorough. ly protect the public from the danger of poisoning. Many cases of illness that have been attributed to poison, ing from eating canned goods are be lieved by the canners to have actual causes, or from disregard of the ordi. nary precautions, such as not allow ing goods to stand in can after be. ing once opened.
 The Gamers Association itself for years maintained its own laboratory in Washington, adequate to conduct its own investigations, but has, never theless. thought it wise to put it's case into the hands of an independent re search board, for although the subject Is one that has been investigated to some extent before. there has as vet been no complete survey of this pro blem. With a view to supplying this deficiency, the national research coun- cil has appointed a committee to su. pervise the inquiry, which will be un- dertaken by the Harvard Medical School in its department of preventa- tive medicine and hygiene. The work has been entrusted to Dr. NJ. J. Rosen- au, of Harvard, who Is one of the most eminent pharmaecological cb smists in i tire country ry.-Fhiie FFhiie results -of-the- -re. search will be published through the regular scientific channels from time to time. but it is expected that 1t may be matter of three years or more be- fore the ground is completely GOV. cred
 The advisory commission which has been named by the national research council in conference with Dr. Rosen. au and under the advice of Dr. Will liam Fl. Welch, president of the Ma tional Academy of Sciences, which will have supervisory charge of the investigation is as follows: Profes- sors John J. Abel, Johns Hopkins Uni versity Reid Hunt, Harvard Univer- sity; F. o. Jordan. University of Chi cago; Lafayette B. Mendel Yale Uni versity; Frederick c. Novy, University of Michigan; Eugene Opie, Washing | ton University; and H. Gideon Wells, University of Chicago.

ANNUAL FIELD DAY
Hartman's Big Event Proves Bigger
and Better Than Ever Before

A big delegation of Lamariyes went
to Hartman last Friday to enjoy the
big annual field day celebration. Prob
ably no town Of it's size anywhere en-
tortains such crowds regularly once a
year as does thu enterprising little
city of Hartman, and in such man
ner that they IRE always sure of an
other record crowd the following year.
There is no charge for anything in the
line Of amusements, but all enjoy a
big day Of sport at the expense of
this hospitable little city.
This year the program was unus-
ually liberal, big purses being offered
that secured large numbe- of entries
and made a anumber of very exciting
relay races both for race horses end
COW ponies. Then there were wild
west sports and all kinds Of foot races
for men, boys and girls. The big
swimming pool was open to all visit
ors and in the evening there was big
dance that lasted until all the visitors
were satisfied. Most of those who
were present last year also said the
crowd was much larger than that rec
ord one, and estimated that the little
city Of 125 people entertained at least
five thousand visitors on last Friday
and all spoke in highest praise Of the
manner in which It was done and said
they would be back for next years
field day. It was also some display OF
autos as Prowers county now has out
nearly twelve hundred liccnseG and al
most half Of them were there with a
large sprinkling from outside places.
