sioner of Agriculture Brig
ham, Says II Is Needed.

Burlington, Jan. l3.-The Joint con-
Yention of the Vermont dairymen and
Vermont sugarmakers opened its sec
ond days session at the University of
Vermont gymnasium yesterday with
very large attendance.
President =. L. Harris opened the
session for the dairymen He called
attention 70 the fact that there is a
tendency in Vermont to make il a
milk-shipping state rather than one
which manufactures high grade butter.
He said that cooperative creameries
are now endeavoring TO restore Yer
mont TO its status as butter state by
assisting farmers i'm the better care of
their cream.
Prof G. y. Collingwood. Of the for
estry department at Cornell univer-
sity, urged the sugarmakers Of Yer.
mont not only to have state organi.
cation for marketing their products
but TO assist in forming national or
ganization.
Among several other interesting ad-
dresses was one by f. S. Brigham.
state commissioner Of agriculture, on
the progress OF tuOercuIosH eradlca
tion. He advocated a state expendi-
ture Of s25o,ooo annually for six years
to eradicate tuberculosis He has In
corporated the suggestion in his bud
get of estimates. He said the pres
ent appropriation Of 100000 is INSULT
cient.
Last evening the Women's Auxiliary
Of the Dairymen's association held It's
meeting and elected Mrs II y. Farm

FRANCE is SEEKING
4 NEW PREMIER
One Section Wants a Man Who Will
Not Take Lloyd George as His
Foreign Minister

Paris. Jan. President Millerano
was engaged to-day in conference will
political leaders with view to naming
man who would form cabinet to
succeed that of George Leygues, which
resigned yesterday. Raymond Poin-
care, former president of the republic;
Rene Viviani, former premier, and
Raoul Peret, president of the chamber
of deputies, were most frequently men,
toned as the head of the government.
Foreign relations was the rock on
which the Leygues ministry split The
attitude of the cabinet, which resigned
yesterday, in connection with conces-
sions to Germany relative to disarma-
ment and enforcement of the Versailles
treaty, especially its at least partial ac
ceptanee of the British viewpoint on
important questions regarding Ger
many, did not meet with approval. The
Republique Franchise sums up this feel
ing on the part of the people by saying
"All we ask is that the new premier,
whoever he may be, shall not take Mr.
Lloyd George as his foreign minister" ;"
In political circles there is unanim
ity on two points that the crisis
must be settled a. soon as possible
and that the new foreign minister must
be a man of experience, reputation and
authority. All other considerations APP
pear to be secondary.
A study of the vote which resulted in
the defeat of the Leygues ministry in
the chamber yesterday affords no guild
ance for President Millerand. 1t was
heterogeneous in character, the mo-
tives behind it were confused, and no
political tendency was indicated.

HoPI INDIAN RITES.
Nation Still Clings to Pagan ceremO-
: mics Such as Snake Dance.


Even among the Hopi IndiaDs Of the
American southwest, where many an
cient ceremonials survived, there is a
tendency among the younger Indians
TO relinquish the long cherished forms.
But the Hopis, more than any other
tribes, have persisted in the tradition
al pagan rites. Here in the Isolation
of the cleaning desert and mesa coun-
try one may witness still the corn
dance. the snake dance and other pie
turesque ceremonials which the influ-
ences Of the white man have as vet
little changed. Among all Of the Pue-
bio peoples there has been preserved
much Of the old Indian culture. Here
more than anywhere else the Indian
has been allowed 70 have his own Ife.
This Is easily understood when one
considers the character Of the Pueblos
Dwelling in ancestral villages century
after century, avoiding war when pos
sible. and in their remote mesa homes
resisting even the disintergrati0n infiu-
ence of the white man, these interest
ing tribes have preserved some signi-
fcant art, poetry and religious senti
ments which are now in danger Of eN-
tinction. Just az the white student of
Indian life Is beginning to appreciate
their value. il seems that IN time

A twin sister in the family Of visual
helps is the graph of diagram, which
is coming to be used more and more
in every line of work. Clergymen,
philanthropists, economists financial
and trade statisticians, workers in the
field Of science municipal, state and
national governments, all use Stats
tics in some way. The only means by
which they can bring to a focus and
actually visualize complex mass of
detail is by using some form Of Wis
ual presentation.
"By means of diagrams the stock
holders and board of directors can be
made to See through rather than be
required to think through complica-
ted details and statistical data. said
Mr.. Auerbach. 1.-The production man
ager uses graphic production con-
troll to race and analiZe the causes
for delays and congestions. Control
charts make these factors actually
leap out, SO to speak, in the form Of
pictures. Because the picture
tells the story in simple Ian
guage, the General Electric Company
has resorted to visual aids in prepar-
ing it's alien workers for naturaliza-
ton. In their Americanization clas-
ses simple charts tell in unmistaka-
bic language how the United States

instances as an admirable example of
quick visual summary, the chart in
to which the U. S. Biological Survey
condensed the results of five years
research and study of the crow. By
this chart a child can understand
why the crow is regarded as one of
our most useful birds, an efficient
destroyer of insects and protector of
crops. In the graph the crow holds
the center of the picture; around him
are ranged the caterpillars, spiders,
toads birds, small mammals, beetles
and other insects on which he feeds,
all drawn to q scale which apprroXi-
mately represents their proportion of
the aggregate consumed. Here in

nothing of the examinations Of the

the $4,000 records tabulated, all Of
which met certain requirements as to
accuracy and completeness. l67,024

ords of negro children
Boys under 6 years of age were
found, according to the report to av-
erage from one third to one half an
inch taller and to weigh about a
pound more than girls Of the same
ages. They were also heavier than
girls of the same stature. California
children were found to be slightly
taller and heavier than other groups
in the study-a difference for which
climate OF some factor other than the
nationality composition of the popu-
lation, which closely resembles that
of other parts Of the country, is held
responsible. The shorter stature no.
ted in the New York City group, is,
however attributed to the presence
in that group Of larger proportion
than in the country as whole OF
short-statured races, such as the
Italian and Jewish.
A selected group Of children of
native parentage showed very little
deviation in average height and
weight from the averages of the
larger group including both children
Of native and those of foreign born
parents. Children in rural areas
slightly exceeded the average for
city children in both stature and
weight, while the heights and
weights Of negro children under 4
years of age as compared with white
children of the same ages showed a
deficiency in weight of II ounces for
boys and ounces for girls. and sta
ture deficiencies Of two-fifths and one
fifth inches respectively, These de-
ficiencies, greatest at l year of age
and under, may result from the poor
nutrition and unfavorable social and
economic conditions that cause a high
mortality rate among colored infants,
or perchance, may be due to racial
difference in rate Of growth. At five
years of age practically no difference
in average height and weight is found
between white and negro children.

Another instance Of the effective
use of graphic charts in educating
the public is the diagram published
by the U. S. Bureau of Mines. This
graph shows that domestic consul
mers waste more than 80 per cent of
the natural gas received, and that
the efficiency Of most cooking and
heating appliances could be easily
trebled, making one foot of gas do
the work of three.
Another reason for the wider use
of pictures in industry. declares Mr..
Auerbach, is their superior reliability

lens is nothing less than an unpreju -
diced mechanical eye" The Ameri-

Information which would be con-
sidered "dry," uninteresting stuff" in
books is now studied with interest
in diagrams and pictures. Advertis-

many demands upon our attention
today that there is no time for the
