London-If you really are good
walter, you ought to be able to
dance with cup of tea on your head
without splitting any, says Paymaster
Commander A. NJ Cree in his "Hand-
book of Ballroom Dancing"
The paymaster's voice Is one Of
many raised in London against the so
called floppy antics.
And he has a word of warning for
the women-they should never hang
their chins on their partners shout
ders, but keep their heads steady and
not let them go bobbing about in anx-
iety about a possible crash with other
couples.
If the bump is coming, says this
dancing authority, "let it. You must
trust yourself absolutely to the steer
ing Of the man."
Other dancing donts include avoid
ance of dipping the shoulders. rolling

Dicklow wheat and Trebi barley

six years trials on the Aberdeen Sub

and strains Of wheat and barley. The
marked success these grains have
shown in increasing feturns for f0r the

carried out by middie-aged British
university professor, Joseph Bancroft.
-. r. S., reader In physiology at Cam
bridge university. The question In
y0Ived was whether 1t would be pos
eibFe to calculate the quantity Of Oxy-
gen necessary to an airman at high al
at1tudes
The case In which Mr.. Bancroft was
shut up for six days was specially
erected In a quiet room in the physiO-
$lsgical laboratory. 1t was about seven
feet high and about ten feet broad.
The floor, walls and roof were made
OF glass, Theoretically sealed and d.
avided into two COMPARTMENTS
fitted with a lounge chair and table
and the other with simple bed.
Took Regular Exercise.
At the foot of the bed was pedal
ing apparatus consisting Of frame Of
q bicycle, from which the front wheel
had been removed, and a small back
wheel with frame attached, to enable
sAr. Bancroft to get some exercise and
cause certain amount of work to- be
done.
During his six days In this case
Mr.. Bancroft spent his time in work
relating to the experiments, ia taking
exercise on the bicycle and In sleep
ing. He was kept under observation
day and night to insure his personal
safety. college students and others TAX
Ing their turn to keep watch.
Nitrogen was continually introduced
Into the chamber and the air became
gradually rarer in oxygen until it ap-
proximated that at an altitude of 49,
coo feet when Mr.. Bancroft, who has
bad experience in mountaineering, ex-
perienced considerable Inconvenience
from sickness and sleeplessness, and
also an indisposition to take any food.
Felt Rather Shaken.
At the close of the experiment some
blood was taken from Mr.. Barcroft's
arm. The oxygen the blood contained
was separated and it was found to
agree with the expectations Of the ex-
pertinent.
Mr. Bancroft confesses to having felt
rather shaken up after his release from
the glass case but did not look much
the worse for the experience.
The experiment is regarded here as
thoroughly successful and scientific
report of it will be laid before the
next meeting of the British assOcia-
ton, where Mr.. Bancroft will be presi
dent of the physiological section.

true in the drier sections Of the state.

ton Of the variety. AS. result Of
the "Grow Dicklow" campaign which
has been particularly stressed during
1919 and 1920 over 80 per cent Of the
irrigated wheat grown in southern
Idaho is of the Dicklow variety. The
yield and quality of irrigated wheat
has been wonderfully improved as a
result of the campaign. The average
yield of the Ddcklow over all varieties
was bushels per annum for the six
year period the variety was on trial
at the Aberdeen Station.
Assuming that the Dicklow variety
has Increased the wheat yields Of the
irrigated lands Of southern idaho but

income from this increase means hun

income from the increased yield Of the
Dicklow ever the common wheats |
grown in the state just for one year
could be placed In trust fund for the
Aberdeen Station more than sufficient |
funds to operate the Station would be
provided for all time to come.
The barley experiments have given
even greater yields per acre. Owing
however to the much smaller acreage
Of barley grown in comparison to
wheat, the actual money value
to the State derived thru the
Income from increased yields per acre
Is not nearly as large as that of the
Dicklow wheat. The Trebi barley
