RICE 70 SC0UR EGYPT
FOR SPECIES OF GOAT
Explorer Who Fought CannibaIs
in South America Will Aid
Medical Research.

Despite the terrors through which
ne passed while journeying through
the wilds of South America. DIR. Alex
ander Hamilton Rice, explorer, plans
soon to leave for Egypt In an en-
deavOr to locate certain species Of
goat which is invaluable In medical re-
search work.
He expressed this intention in an
address on South America before the
Geographical society.
DR.. Rice said his trip through South
America took him up the Rio Negro,
the largest tributary Of the Amazon,
through a natural canal more than 200
miles long. connecting 1t with the ORR
nOcO into hitherto UNEMPLOYED portions
of Brazil. 1t was here that he came
in actual contact with the GuaharibOs,
virtually unknown tribe Of cannibal
Indians. who for II days pursued his
party in an effort to cut off it's re-
turn.
The attack occurred in wild spot
along the banks of the OrinOcO. where
DR.. Rice had made camp the night
before. Two Indian guides saw some
thing moving along the banks. Look
ing closer they perceived the forms
of Indians closing in on the camp.
"A few moments LATER" DR.. Rice
said, "the entire bank was literally
lined with wildly shrieking and ges-
ticuating figures, who brandished
bows about seven feet high, with ar
rows six feet long.
"We tried talking to them in every
language and dialect at our command.
We laid hatchets. knives and fish on
the rocks in an attempt to pacify them,
but without success.
"Finally. when one Of their arrows
landed just at nv feet, l decided II
was time TO do something. and we
fired the Winchester rifle and Parker
shotgun, our only weapons, over their
heads. That frightened them for the
moment. and gave us time to get our
things packed and start down the riv-
er. Shortly afterward, darkness de-
scended and all night long we could
hear their blOOd-curdling screams as
they kept at our heels"

WANTS $4,000
TO TRAIN AT
CAMP KNOX
Adjutant General Lays Com
prehensive Plan Before War
Department.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 2s-Sixty
thousand national guardsmen will
gather annually at Camp Henry Knox,
KY, the United States army artillery
school, il plans placed before the War
Department by Adjutant General
Jackson Morris are approved 1t is
planned to make Camp Knox the
training ground for the national
guardsmen of Indiana. Ohio, West
Department by Adjustant General
Virginia and Kentucky.
Gen. Morris, in recommendations
sent to the Fourth Army Corps head
quarters at Fl Benjamin Harrison.
Ind urges that 100000 of the 5000. 900
appropriated for training national
guardsmen be used to erect a 125-
target rifle range for the Use Of the
3Ttt and 3sth national guard divisions
at Camp Henry Knox. His plan calls
for the assembly of the troops OF
these divisions at Camp Knox for two
weeks annually.
Nothing would be taught at the
camp except those things that cannot
be taught on the drill floor" said Gen
Morris. THE men would be trained
in divisional and regimental tactics
landscape sketching, map reading and
the use of all the arms that go into
the making of modern army.
The rifle range would be located
about four miles from the main can
torment on the reservation. When a
regiment was slated to go to the rifle
range. it would be marched out there
before and sleep under canvas. Bright
and early the next day the men would
go onto the range.
while one detachment of 1875 was
shooting on the range, the other mem.
bers of the regiment would be trained
in the use of the hand grenade. ma
chine guns. rapid fire rifles and the
care of weapons. In this way every
man would learn much that cannot
be taught in the armories."

IL is customary to put a certain aver
age quantity OF forage into each stack.
Where this is done the quantities can
be approximated by counting the
number of stacks and multiplying by
the average quantity per stack A rule
which will give fairly close figures for
average shaped stacks is to measure
the vertical distance from ground to
bulge. and add to this figure three
fourths the vertical distance from
bulge to top; multiply this sum by the
circumference Of the stack at the bulge
and multiply the resulting product by
the circumference at the ground. Di-
viding this last product by II will
give the number Of cubic feet approx
imately (For more exact information
on measuring hay in stacks. see Cir
cular 81, Office of the Secretary,
Measuring Hay in Kicks and Stacks)
For hay in uncovered ricks and stacks
the number of cubic feet in ton will
vary from 400 to 500.

J LONDON.-Th dinner of WELDON,
by the Pilgrim Society to the Ameri

Gently, was enyeloped in far deepe,
/ interest than usually attends such ar
event to a new ambassador. Not only
was it Mr. Harvey's first public an.
pearance since his appointment but
there was general expectation that
ne would reveal something of the
new administrations policy toward
Europe.
The ambassador did not dissapoint
MS audience for he brushed aside
any lingering illusion that the United
States would have any relations with
the league of nations. He also an
nounced his appointment to represent
the president in the supreme council
IN the discussion over Silesia.
Mr.. Harvey's plain words ON the
league were a revelation and his plea
Tor the closest cooperation between
Ihe TWO great English-speaking coun-
tries was impressive.
The British premier rather disan-
pointed those who hoped for more of
International plain speaking. He
described the plight of Europe. en-
neshed in ancient feuds, and gave
warm welcome to the new cooDera-
ION OF America in world affairs.
