Hunters have been bringing in the
limit of ducks and chickens, hunting
being better than has been known in
years. There are more native grown
mallards and canvasback than ever
and the chicken and grouse hunting
is good in spite of the fact that the
use of dogs is not permitted. This
only goes to prove the assertion by
old hunters that the law barring dogs
would effect but little change in re-
suits and would only serve to take
away much of the pleasure Of chicken
hunting.

twenty miles northeast of Granville

settler occupied nearly every quarter
section Of this land, built himself q
little home with fence around it, and
did his level best to make living.
He was compelled to mortgage his
land, for the soil yielded but little

dash events lies in the matter of the
distance to be worked.
Pointers on the 2z0-Yar Dash.
/. Master the start the sprint,
and the pitch, rs outlined in the past
installments.
2. Devote considerable time to
50-yard dashes, to develop your mi
tial speed.
3. In early season swing through
a 800 once or twice a week at three
quarter speed, and jog number of
quarters.
4. For mid-season, the 800 can be
run occasionally at nine-tenths or
nearly top speed. The 170 or 1870
should be run for speed and endur-
ance.
S. Avoid trying out too often
over your chosen distance. The chap
who runs his race in too many try
outs loses his zest for the event, in
other words he goes stale in interest.
Over-distance for endurance and
under-distance for speed are best
E. A simple but valuable expe-
dent is to work against the 100 man
in 50 and in l20s, for speed, and
with the quarter miles up to 800
yards for endurance.
J. The chap who must run both
the 100 and the 220 must work some
where between these two events.
8. All sprint men would do well
to avoid training in the broad jump
and even the high jump. The jar
of converting speed into elevation
affects real sprint work. However.
when the best interests of the school
demand that man sprint and broad
jump too, it is best to limit prac-
tice in tie broad jump to the mas
terry of run and take off. with a trial
jump or two a week before the first
meet. (In connection with the
broad jump it is we'll to realize that
speed is prime requisite.
The sprinter whose field event is
the high jump should work carefully
also. After he has mastered his
form, a jump workout once. or at
the most twice week, would prob
ably be best.
Constant and daily workouts,
plenty of sleep, and a sane appetite
along with mastery of detail in
your event, are the only roads to
success.) s

MODERN SCIENCE
BEING RETARDED
BY OLD STANDARD
Financiers and Politicians
Must Give Place to Pro-
gressive System In Future,
Says Frederick Soddy.
By FREDERICK CoDDY.

London, March l7.-Judging by
the progress already achieved the
next decade may we'll see advances
in the field Of scientific knowledge
(which will open the way to the true
golden age of humanity.
/. Already science, through the me-
dunn OF automic energy, has laid its
hand upon a tool which, if control
able by man, could eliminate FOREVER
the nightmare of existence pro-
longed from day to day only by un-
remitting toll.
The uses already made of science
show how necessary it is that a new
social order be developed before a
million times more awful powers are
unleashed by man. So far the pearls
of science have been cast before
those who have given us in return
| the desolation of scientific warfare
and the almost equal desolation of
unscientific government.
Creative Elements to Rule.
In the world that is to come the
control Of financiers, lawyers. poll
ticians and the merely possessive or
acquistive must give place to a sys-
tenn in which the creative elements
must rule.
The potential energy latent every
where in nature will, as time goes
on, be utilized more and more to re-
place animate energy-thc toll of
man. AS primitive man froze to
death on the site of modern coal
mines, so the majority of mankind
today drags out miserably con-
fined existence with the means of
life for which we have no standard
all about him but still beyond his
reach.
The process of radio activity
which has been going on in GER
tain elements since the formation
of the world releases a source of
energy immensely greater than any
yet utilized. Atomic PARTICLES are
thrown off the parent element,
which slowly alters. in nature.
SO uranium, thorium, and radium
are slowly turning into lead, and if
a way is found to control the expul-
sion; of these particles, lead, mer-
curry or other desired elements could
be converted into gold at will.
The prospect of concerting lead
into gold is, however. a perfectly
trivial and illusory part of the full
possibilities foreshadowed by recent
scientific achievements. Rather at
the present value of energy it would
be more profitable to convert gold
into base metal provided control OF
the transformation were possible.
Choke Cut Throat Doctrines.
The cut-throat doctrines of the
past have to be beaten out of the
path of progress if the ideals of
science are to make good.
Under our present order a future
achievement such as that foreshad-
owed simply means that in the next
war life could be wiped off the globe
by science as completely as wiping
off 2 slate.

Scale Equipment Of
Skinner Plant Largest
Order In Middle West

Growth of the Toledo Scale Co.'S
line of springlsss automatic scales
has been almost phenomenal. Be-
ginning 20 years ago with one
pendulum counter scale. they have
developed new scales for practically
every weighing purpose. From the
smallest to the largest, Toledo scales
can automatically weigh one ounce
of spice or so tons of steel.
The Omaha factory branch Office,
covering Nebraska, South Dakota,
and western Iowa, has been in oper-
alton about 10 years, and under the
supervision of NJ. H. Harris for the
past II years.
Mr.. Harris states that the scale
equipment order from the Skinner
Co. was one of the largest orders
ever secured in the middle west. He
declares he is proud of Toledo in
stallation in this wonderfully mod
ern meat packing plant. The To-
ledo scale slogan, "No Springs
Honest Weight" goes well in hand
with Skinner High Quality"

The newspaper Excelsior takes ex-
ception to this sort of a contest.

this monstrous amalgamation of eff

The 22o-Yard Dash.

In order to become a good 220-
yard man it is necessary to be a
master of the technique Of the short
er dash. No man can expect to sue
ceed, nor yet show skill, in the long
er race unit! he has mastered the
start, the sprint and the pitch as dis
cussed in the articles on the 100
yard dash.
That does not necessarily mean
that he must be a good 1OO-yard
dash man. Quite often it happens
that the chap who can run a good
100 may find that he lacks the en-
durance to run good 220. 1t is
equally true that some 220 men
find the 100 difficult--possibly be-
cause they get away from the mark
slowly ard are slow in getting into
their stride.
(At the present time there are two
men being watched as possibilities
for the olympics, who illustrate this
point. In the great indoor meet in
New York City recently, the Mill
rose games, Jack Scholz and Loren
Murcheson finished in, order by
inches in the 70-yard dash in worlds
record time, J Is seconds. Both are
great sprinters. In any race from
the mark to the 100 or possibly the
l20 yard mark, Scholz would doubt
1ess1y win from Murcheson, for he
has terrific burst OF speed any
where within the 120. Beyond that
distance the winner would probably
be Murcheson, for he seems to
gather strength as he goes.) j
