BRITISH PRESS IS
 DIVIDED ON DEBTS
Morning Post Says America Will
 Suffer More Than France
By The sgociated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Dec. 31,-The question of the French debt and the Franco American relations arising thorefrom are occupying the attention Of the politicians and public here, and big share Of front page space in the morning newspapers is given to long dispatches from Washington, New York and Paris.
 A great majority of the papers re- frain from editorial comment, but what is available suggests strong division of opinion for and against France such as characterized the controversy regarding the evacua- ton of the Ruhr some time ago
 The Morning Post, championing France, declares: The main diff culty to be faced Is to convince the American people that these debts are not commercial transactions and that, if they are vigorously treated as such, the creditor will in the long run suffer much more than the debtor" IL adds that in saying this it does not seek Ito disparage either the intelligence or good faith of the American people,"
 After lcngthily arguing it's posi- ton the paper continues: If the American pressure on France Is re- solutely maintained, several things will follow:
 First, the Dawes scheme itself may be jeopardized. IL Is clear from 1 V. Clementefs statement that France cannot and dare not be gen. erous to Germany. if the last sou is 10 be dragged from her savings. Second, the good relations be- tween France and Great Britain may he put to severe strain and the entente upon which the real recovery of Europe depends may be indeh- niteIy postponed.

OLD ECLIPSES OF . VALUE ID SCIENCE
Show Little Changes in Length
 Of Day and Month

New Haven, Dec. 31.-"OId rec ords of eclipses have been of great help to astronomers by proving that there are small changes in the length of the day and lunar month" said Prof. Ernest W. Brown of the department of mathematics and as- tronOmy at Yale today. "Tbe as- i tronomers have repaid the debt by showing that good record of an
 ancient eclipse will fix the date for
 the historian" The professor who . Is chairman of the committee on

 The tracks of eclipsos q thous-

 lar place and the historian can fix the century the astronomer can . nearly always fix the year. day and 1 hour because 1t will generally be the only total eclipse visible at that place in a century"
 Though the track on the carth Of total eclipse may be many thous- and miles long, the professor said,
 lt will only average hundred miles or so wide and though one or two occur each year any one place may
 get within the track only once in

tester found the following relation
ship between feed and production
which conclusively proves the value
of balanced rations. A certain dairy
man in November fed an unbalanced
ration to herd of 20 COWS, consist
ing of roughage and 1856 pounds of
grain, which together cost him s29.52,
and from which he secured 1920
pounds OF milk In December he fed
a balanced ration to the same COWS
number of pounds of grain which to-
gether cost him s42.17 or s12.65 more
than the unbalanced ration From
this, however, he received 1900
pounds OF milk, or an increase of
2,140 pounds which tested 3.9es Civ
ing him an additional fat production
OF S3.5 pounds which he sold for
Acc a pound or S37.5s more than his
