MILK EXPERIMENT
TO BE CONDUCTED
HEALTH ASSOCIATION AND
SCHOOL COOPERATE IN PROMO
TION OF HEALTH PLAN.

A health experiment to determine
the effect of the feeding of one half
a pint of milk day to sAsaool child
rem will be started Monday by the
Moscow Health association, a branch
of the Idaho State nti-Tuberculosis
association, according to announce
ment by Mrs. w. F. Morgareidge and
Mrs. ]. S. Heckathorn, executive Off
GERS of the association in charge. The
MOSCOW public schools will be glad
to cooperate with the health associa-
ton.
The experiment is designed to de-
termine whether feeding a half a pint
of milk a day to school children is
going to be favorable or not to the
health and scholarship of students.
WhitwOrth School Grades
The funds Of the association will not
permit the conducting Of the expert
sment with the entire Moscow school
system. The association has there
fore decided to limit it to two of the
upper grades in the Whitworth build
ing. In order to be impartial the
five upper rooms of the Whitworth
building drew lots to determine in
which rooms the experiment should
be conducted. The children of the
fifth and sixth grades of the Whit
worth building have agreed to the
experiment.
In these two rooms 35 children have
agreed to drink the milk furnished
by the health association. The ex-
pertinent is to run for the rest of
the school year.
Any of the children out of the 35
may, If they wish, contribute to the
milk fund Of the association, but there
Is no compulsion. Any contributions
by parents of these children will go
to the health association milk funds
The milk to be used will, of course, be
sanitary and served in the most sani-
tary way.

Washington.-The battle fleets Of
the American navy of the future will
have crews aboard who will be as
skilled in the handling of aircraft as
they are in the operation of the mon
ster floating engines Of war, Secretary
of the Navy DENLY discloses in spe-
cial article on fleet aviation published
In the National Aeronautical number
of Aerial Age.
The naval secretary calls attention
to the general order recently issued
by Admiral Hilary 2. Jones, COM
mander-in-chief of the United States
fleet, calling on all officers to partici-
pate in classes on aviation subjects.
This order Is regarded by Secretary
DENLY as highly significant. "It
MEANS" he said in his Aerial Age ar
ticle, ''that fleet aviation is certain
to have very important effect in a
future naval campaign"
Zone of the first duties which will
be required of fleet aviation in fu-
ture wars" Mr.. DENLY said, will be
to carry out reconnaissance over enc
my bases.

"At the present time our navy has
but one aircraft carrier, the Langley,
which is the remodeled collier Jup-
tier.
by knowledge gained from the COM
paratively inexpensive Langley we
have been able to design an efficient
type Of carrier by remodeling two of
the giant battle cruisers under con-
struction, which were at first intend
ed to be scrapped under the terms of
the limitation of naval armament
treaties. Under these treaties we were
allowed to convert the battle cruisers
Saratoga and Lexington
Their speed, which Is developed by
electrical propulsion, Is equivalent to
80 miles an hour on land. The pc
culiarities Of these ships are the COM
pleteness Of radio installation for
sending and receiving messages; the
elevators for lifting aircraft to and
from the decks and the storage space
below; the cranes for hoisting out
board and inboard heavy reconnais-
sance planes; the methods of ventila-
ton and removal of exhaust gases
from the smokesta cks, and the maneu-
variability Of such huge ships in sea

RECOMMENDS HUGE
WHEAT SALES AGENCY

Crookston, Minn.-Wheat produc-
ton will show American growers a
profit only when the production is
reduced to little less than the
American consumption of 600,000,000
bushels, declared John r. Mitchell,
member of the federal reserve board,
speaking at the banker-farmer con-
ference, the first of a series to be
held in the northwest
This would mean, Mitchell said, that
the American consumer would pay
$1.6O bushel for wheat, figuring the
price as the Canadian wheat price
plus the cost of transportation and
the 80 cents a bushel tariff.
Mr. Mitchell recommended one huge
wheat marketing agency with various
sections Of the country divided into
groups and producing wheat accord
ing to the dictates of the agency.
