novel method of urging the use Of
milk was tried out in New Jersey

letting out a cow was brought up in a
truck and MIXED in the street. At
one school GOO children gathered
around to see her MIXED. "Such ex.
element. you would have thought a
circus was in town." wrote one Of the
extension workers. 1t took two police,
men and five workers to restrain the
excited crowd. One COW, of course
could not furnish enough milk for such
q crowd, but an additional supply was
brought up In trucks. and eventually
everyone got drink Of real milk
Most children like milk, anyway.
and when milk is supplied to them
in the schools they rarely leave
single drop in the bottle. especially
if they can drink it through straw
Parents often raise the objection
when advised to give their children
more milk, that their boys or girls will
not drink it. When the boys and girls
come from school, however, and tell
their parent that they want milk. they
get it.

Of the country prove this, according
to the naturalization specialists Of
the United States department Of agri-

that the percentage of undernourish-

and that this increase had accompa-

1t is not lack Of money which has
brought about this condition, but rath-

AS means Of combating this grow

ment, the idea was developed Of desig-

concentrating all available forces to
the task Of bringing before the people
OF a community the food value and
healthful qualities Of milk. This was
the origin Of the milk campaign.
How the Campaign 10 Started.
A milk campaign is a highly.organ-
lied educational drive in a city or in
rural district. When it has been

cooperation. II the conditions war;

REDUCTION OF TIRE

1t is commonly thought by the av-
erage motorist tnat in hot weather
it is advisable to reduce the pressure
in tires. A higher pressure would be
less abusive, because the heat from
the exterior of the casing is not great
enough to damage the tire to the
extent of blowing out, which is in
variably the result of under-fnf1ation.

GERMAN COMMUNISTS
WANT COVENANT REVISED

BERLIN A. P)-Revision of
the Peace Treaty of Versailles by
the international proletariat was
urged by Ernest Daeumig, leader of
the Communists, in a debate in the
Reichstag recently. Herr Daeumig
prophesied, a coming revolution to
overthrow capitalism. He said that
his party desired appropriation of
all machinery of production and as
quickly and as thoroughly as POS
sible. He characterized the Yer
sailles Treaty rs an exhibition of
force by world capitalism eve feel
toward it as our Russian comrades
felt toward the treaty Of Brest- Lito
vsk," he said
These declarations of the Com
munist idea on treaty revision were
evoked by statement which had
been made by DR.. Eugene Schiller,
formerly Vice Chancellor and leader
of the National Liberals who de-
clared that the treaty was crime
against the German nation and all
the world and that Germany had
right, under the reading Of the cover
ing note as well as morally, to de-
mand it's revision.
