THEIR ESTIMATES TOO LOW
Proof That Engineers Have Erred in
Their Figures Concerning the
Weight of Crowds.

Interesting experiments We're made
some time ago at Harvard university
which seem to demonstrate that en-
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused 10y dense
crowds on bridges. floors and plat
forms Forty men averaging l63
pounds in weight placed in box six
feet square caused an average pres
sure Of ISL pounds to the square foot
on the floor
An engineer has estimated the
weight per square foot of the denseSt
crowds on the New York elevated rail
ways at only 40 pounds, but since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat
forms may he nearer 1S1 than A

prepared by the United States Depart

A noticeable increase in the number
of purebred animals listed In the Bet
ter Sires-Better Stock" campaign is
the principal development during the
first three months of 1921. The re-
suit has been to raise the general av-
erage of purebreds for the whole cam
paign IL per cent. Altogether 43l,-
1870 head of domestic animals and
fowls have been enrolled by their
owners.
OF that number 22,605 are purebred
sires and the remainder are females
Of various breeding, but all were bred
to purebred males, according to the
owners pledges. Although the num-
ber o" purebreds, as noted, increased
noticeably, more scrubs also were
listed than in any previous quarterly
period, thus helping to accomplish one
of the main objects Of the campaign,
which is to grade up inferior animals
by the use Of good purebred sires.
The greatest activity during the
current year so far as enrollments
are concerned. has occurred In Ohio,
with Nebraska second. In justice to
other states it may be added that sew
