which they take up their duties
and the way they enter into 9th
er things during their play time.
The craftsmanship that is char
acteristic Of their games is true
to the finest traditions of Amer

On their several activities
these young men should have the
backing of all our loyal citizens,
in the things they do voluntarily
as we'll as the duties required in
their military training. All the
people Of Kentucky, Indiana,

thusiasm among them and 4
greater number Of boys who will
follow them next year. | hope

WINTER BARLEY As
WHEAT SUBSTITUTE
(By Assvciatcli Press)

Lexington, Ky. Aug. 23-Manv
Kentucky farmers are searching
for a beardless variety Of winter
barley which can be seeded or
their farms this fall to take the
place Of wheat, according to i'll
quiries being received at the Ken
lucky Agricultural Experiment
Station. Scores of requests 10

have been received by the station
agronomists during the last fe-
weeks from farmers who arc

according to T. 7. Kinney, i
member of the station agronom,
department. there is only one va
rlety of beardless winter barley.
this one having been produced By
the tennessee Experiment Sta
ton several years ago through,
the crossing OF the Tennessee
winter variety with a beardless
spring variety is hardy and fairly
satisfactory, it does yield quite
as we'll as the bearded while the
grain which it produces is, less
plump than that of the bearde,
barley. 1t also is inclined to tan
gle worse on rich lands, Mr.. Kin
ney said.
Under the present system OF
crop management, there is nc
reason TO be prejudiced against
boards since little handling of tie
crop IS necessary, he added.
Disappointing returns obtained
from wheat during the last few
years are held largely responsible
for the fact that many farmers
are planning to switch to wintc,
barley. Many farmers also have
found that barley furnishes excel
lent hog feed when ground or
soaked. The fact that the cro7
can be marketed through hogs
also provided possibilities for in
creasing the returus from the
small grain crop of the farm, the
agronomists say.

began to pucker and his eyes
seemed to pop from his head. In
stead Of music there came forth
from his instrument weird, pro-

moan diminished, droned down and
ceased. The champion could not
blow a note. The contest was over

New Yorl, An
endurance test for the trombone
playing championship OF che North
Atlantic has just concluded and the
title has passed 70 the challenger
despite claims o. foul made by the
loser. The umpire OF the unique
event will have difficulty with MS
hearing for some time TO come. Ee
is being congratulated, however, On
retaining his reason, although he
admits that the ordeal was one that
had him on the verge Of a brain
etorm.
Harry Brown, trombone player in
the band Of the Steamship ETeSI-
dent Fillmore OF the United States
Lines, is no longer long distant
horn tooser Of the North Atlantic.
Wearing the laurels Of victory to-
day is Carl Jacob, trombonist eX-
Sraordinary in the band Of the
steamship George Washington. He
is not champion because Of greater
lung power, nor because Of better
lip control, but rather because Of
an unexpected calamity that put
the former champion hoTs de com
bat. But being a good sport, as
well as an excellent trombonist, the
new champion declares he will
shortly give his dethroned advers-
airy another try for the title.
Brown came into the trombone
footing title after series Of elm
inatior contests and won his crown
after a decisive victory in Bremen
haven, Germany, when the top
notch performer Of another steam
ship line went down before his
glorious blasts. Then came the
challenge from Jacob Of the Steam
ship George Washington.

How slo Ia an Electron7

One very noteworthy experiment in
measuring an electron was performed
by an American, Professor Mlllikan of
Chicago. He introduced minute drop
OF Of! of about l-10.Oo0th inch in diam
eter in a chamber between two plates
whose electrical charge was subject to
control The drop of oil was strongly
illuminated and was viewed with a
Telescope. By controlling the poten-
tais OF the plates the oil drop could
be made to fall or rise at will The
drop continually picked up and lost
electrons. As 1t picked up an electron 1t
would move toward the positive plate,
BY carefully observing the action of the
drop Of oil, Millikan was able to deter
mine very accurately the charge added
to It by Its picking up one electron.
