Seeking Bones Of Our Anssstsrs.
Scientists who are sendins N az
petition to the big central platsau Of
Asia in the hope to hnd there the
missing link. which shan connect
man with monkey, or illuminate the
origin Of both. have little regard for
the possible shock to our self esteem
which might follow on the success OF
their enterprise.
The "by-prsduct Of this research
very probably will be the more i'm
portaut part for 1t win include re-
search in the palaAontolosy and
zoology Of China, about which COM
paratively little Is known because Of
the attitude Of the Chinese, which it
is hoped to now overcome.
From work in China, proper. the
research will reach out toward cen
trail Asia and include the territory Of
a little known. though highly interest
ing people. The prospectus Of the
enterprise relates:
I'VE know almost as little about
some of the living natives Of Asia al
about the fossil history OF the coun-
try. LoSg before the Chinese ar
rived, China was inhabited by
aboriginal tribes. which were pushed
south and west just as the Indians
were driven westward by the white
men when they advanced across the
American continent The remnants
of nearly thirty of these ancient
tribes, such as the Lolos, Mosos,
Lisos and others. are rapidly disap-
pearing and yet almost nothing is
known of their origin, life or GUS
toms.
Although many of the aborigines
were scattered among the mountains
of Yunnan and Kweichow and along
the Tibetan frontier. the Lolos still
maintain an independent territory in
Szechuan, one OF the richest and
most populous provinces of China.
No Chinese 10 permitted to cross the
invisible lines of their Kingdom"
without the probability of mourning
a violent death. Continual raids are
carried on back and forth along the
border. Perhaps the Chinese will
capture a score or more of Lolos who
have ventured to glimpse the world
beyond their wild hills and valleys.
In retaliation. few nights later, the
Lolos will burn a whole Chinese viii
lage, kill all the men and carry the
women into slavery. Thus the Lolos
have earned reputation as barbaric
savages. And yet French explorer
who crossed their territory, properly
"chaperoned," reports them to be a
charming people. of hospitable tenn
per and high mentality. He is one of
the few scientists who have pene-
trated the land of the Lolos and live
TO tell the tale. Mr.. Andrews. who
has hunted with Lolos in Yunnan
found them independent. to be sure,
but delightful in their native courtesy
and simplicity.
He says: It is impossible not to be
interested in this strange people.
They are totally unlike the Chinese,
for they are tall and slender. with
long faces and patrician noses, and
they show every indication OF eau
casian blood. II they have it. where
did it come from? This Is one of the
questions that should be answered
before the Lolos disappear. az the
other tribes are rapidly doing.

SERGT. YORKE'S COM
PANION FINED ON RAID
AGAINST HUNS

Quincy Mass-Andrew Marchuck,
Alex Mordich, Mike Stebbins and
Morris Zdinoveck were fined $50 each
in court here on charge of gambling
on the Lords day. Sentences were
suspended till Aug. 1, to give the
men a chance to earn the money.
Marchuck, one of those charged with
taking part in the American game,
was a participant in a much greater
American game year and half ago,
when as a member of the squad OF
the famous Sergt Yorke, of Tennes-
see, he helped capture large number
of Germans Marchuck was in the
send Division and was a member OF
the 325th Infantry He was selected
as part of Sergt. Yorke's squad to go
out and get bunch of German mach
inc gun nests. Marchuck played a
better hand that time than he did in
this one and came back with big
bunch of German prisoners.
Marchuck is frank in stating that
Yorke is a very much overestimated
man as regards the raid he made
against the German machine gun
nests. Marchuck says the real hero OF
that outfit was killed in the encounter.

OF grain varies greatly in different
sections, only the grain consumed,

Naturally the grain consumed per
dozen eggs will depend very mater
ially upon how successfully the hens
are fed and managed. In these feeding
experiments on the United States De-
partment of Agriculture poultry farm,
several different pens OF birds were
used in each class to eliminate error
as far as possible.
The general-purpose fowls used in
the experiments produced an average
egg yield of 1905 eggs as pullets and
ss.i as yearlings, while the Leghorns
produced an average of 1887 eggs as
pullets and 1919 eggs as yearlings.
The value of the general-purpose
breeds for market or for Matching

IMPROVED STEAM AUTO

Though popular opinion has made
the gasoline auto the standard type,
the steam car retains loyal friends be-
cause of its superior power fiexibility.
To retain this advantage, and achieve
all that the gas car has besides, is
the purpose OF a new steam drive for
autos, tractors, or trucks, according
to a well-illustrated article in the july
issue of Popular Mechanics Magazine
With this improved equipment il is
declared that steam may be raised
from a cold boiler in 20 to so seconds
by merely turning switch, that the
car will run a mile after the fire is
shut off, and that one 25-gal tank OF
water is good for 100 to 25) iailes.

SORGHUM PRoDUC
TON ON INCREASE



A marked increase in the produc-
ton OF sorghum strip is indicated by
reports received by the United States
Department OF Agriculture, which has
been engaged in a special campaign
to induce greater production OF this
crop because OF the keen demand for
sugar substitutes. Al the beginning Of
the World War the annual yield OF
sorghum strip in the United States
was approximately 100000 gallons.
This has increased steadily until for
the past year il was approximately
10000 900 gallons. The average yield
of strip per acre has been about 100
gallons, but the fact that this figure
can be increased is indicated by the
departments experiment, in which
more than 400 gallons per acre have
been produced in some localities.
In urging increased paintings to
sorghum the departments experts
point out that despite the increasing
yields the demand is still greater than
the supply, as shown by the price for
strip, which has ranged from 80 cents
to $3.50 per gallon, and in few cases
even higher.
There are abundant opportunities
for increasing the sorghum produc-
ton, the experts say, since this crop
can be grown in every State in the
Union with the possible exception of
Maine. In the northern States il is
necessary to plant early maturing var
ieties of sorghum. Early Amber" and
"Folgers" are among the varieties re-
commended by the department, which
is prepared to supply inquirers with
full information regarding the culti-
walton of this profitable plant

COUNTING COST
OF A DOZEN EGGS
Poultry Raisers Find Grain
Largest Item of Expense
Feeding VS. Production.

In poultry keeping, as in any other
business, the aim is to keep down ex-
penses. II they almost or totally equal
the returns, then, no matter how pro-
ductive the flock is, there is little pro-
Fl for its owner.
One Of the largest items of expense
which the man or woman raising poul-
try today has, is the grain that is
fed the birds Every kind of cereal is
expensive in comparison with former
DAYS especially corn and wheat, which
are usually considered the best poul-
try grains AS the quantity of the
grain consumed enters into the cost
OF producing eggs quite as well as the
price Of the grain, experiments have
been conducted on the Government
poultry farm to determine the amount
of feed required to produce dozen
eggs.
Results of the Experiments.
The general-purpose pullets used in
this experiment ate in year an
average of 81 pounds of feed per
dozen eggs produced, and The yearling
general-purpose birds ate 90 pounds
The Leghorn pullets ate AS pounds,
and the yearlings SIS pounds.
From these figures it is seen that
the general-purpose pullets ate 10
pounds more feed in producing a doz-

The difference increases very rapidly
with the age of the stock; the general
purpose yearlings consuming Al

LAFAYETTE
THE BEEcHwooD.'

Etymologists have discovered the
origin of the famous name which dur
ing the recent years of war has be-
come dearer than ever to Frenchmen
and Americans alike Lafayette came
from the part of France known as Au-
vergne He was born at Chavagnac,
near Brionde, and his ancestral home
stands not far from the village OF
Aire-la Fayette. In this part of the
country the word "fayette" means a
wood of "fayards," and "fayards'
comes from the Latin word "fagus,
which in the dialect of the country
has come to mean "hetre" or beech
tree. A "fayette," there is beech
wood. Etymologically, then, the word
