'MAGNUS LOSES MILKING BEE
TO SECRETARY WALLACE AND
ISSUES BUCKSAW CHALLENGE
Minnesota Senator Hints at
Fraud, but Agricultural
Head Grunts at Abb OF
Challenger

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Magnus
johnson, the dirt farmer from Min
nesota, and Secretary Wallace Of the
department of agriculture, attempt
ed today to- settle their feud with
milking contest. But the result was
so inconclusive that Senator John
son challenged Secretary Wallace to
a further contest with a bucksaw.
Two of the heaviest milking aristo-
Gratis of the soldiers home herd were
selected for the contest. Secretary
Wallace took Concordia Dekol and
Senator Johnson took Cor: Johanna
Fresna Dekol. Both are celebrated
advanced registry matrons of the
Holstein- F'riesian. Anti-kickers and
tail holders were barred and the
rules called for dry hand milking,
two quarters at a time, three gal
lon pals between the knees.
Major General Tasker H. Bliss, re-
tired, commandant fthe soldiers
home, held the watch, and when he
said go" the senator and the sec
rotary put the tops of their heads
into the cows flanks and went to
work in the old-fashioned way which
became extinct with the advent or
the modern farm hand and the milk
ing machine. For five minutes there
was ~ sound except that of the
steady streams of milk pouring into
the buckets. When both cows were
reported clean the time was given
as five minutes and when it was
measured it was announced that
Secretary Wallace had won by a
half pint.
Senator Johnson protested that his
cow, which was on test with four
daily milkings, evidently had been
MIXED Just before the contest; that
his hand was a little off since COM
ing to the senate and that anyway
his wife and children were the real
milking experts on his farm in Min
nesOta.
Secretary Wallace heard the pro-
test without emotion but at its con-
cIusion remarked with a specially
selected emphasis:
Huh! Us dirt farmers.
Senator Johnson replied with his
proposal of a return match with
bucksaws and a wood pile.
Secretary Wallace took it under
advisement.
Diligent inquiry at the soldiers
home barns failed to disclose any
body who would take the RESPONSE
bility for stating how much milk
Senator Johnson or Secretary Wal
lace actually got in the five minutes
of effort.

rest, said he thought it was about a

Newly-Discovered Fish
Shouts as He Swims,
Biologist Tells Body

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 22.-One Of the
most interesting addresses delivered
today before the group OF scientists
comprising the Federation of Amer1
eau Societies for Experimental BIZ
ology which is holding it's sessions
here was that by DIR. c. w. Greene,
University of Missouri, who has
made extensive research into the
habits Of newly-discovered fish which
has been named porto thysnotatus.
In a ten-mlnute paper, DIR. Greene
told OF his observations of this I'M
usual fish which shouts as it swims.
The fish is illuminated by $50 gleam-
ing phosphorescent lights and was
discovered in the waters of Monte
rey Bay, Calf. Because Of the Pc
culiar construction of it's swim blad-
der, it is able to shout. The bladder
is "U"-shaped, each leg about the
size of mans finger. Between the
two legs is a membrane with small
hole in it.
When the notatus bears down up
on a smaller fish, it drives some OF
the gaseous contents of the bladder
from one end TO the other, the speak
err said. This produces the noise.
The swim bladder contains a gas
with a. larger percentage of oxygen
than atmospheric air, sometimes as
high as 80 - 80 per cent oxygen.
Hundreds of tests were taken to de-
termine this Iact, said DR.. Greene.
The sessions will be concluded this
afternoon in joint session Of the
physiological, biochemical, pharma-
Geological and pathological societies.

SEES WIDE ADVANCE:
IN USES Of REMEDY

CINCINNATI, Dec. 29.-By the
Associated Press. (-Insulin, recently
discovered remedy for diabetes. may
render a humanity a vastly greater
service than the already demon
strated through it's curative qualities,
and possibly will lead to startling
revelations in the field OF medicine,
DR.. j. J. r. Mcleod, of the Univer-
sity of Toronto, predicted before the
American association for the ad-
vancement of science today.
"Insulin places in the hands Of the
psychologist a new instrument of re-
search. 1t is like a new instrument
in the hands OF a surgeon. 1t pro-
vides a key which may serve to open
the doors to hidden mysteries OF
metabolism," the Canadian doctor
who is joint holder of the Nobel
prize in medicine as a result Of his
discovery, told the scientists.
The possibilities of further devel.
opment drought administration of
insulin lies not in its effects upon
those suffering from diabetes, but in
the reactions which take place when
it is introduced into a normal body,
he declared, and results have OBJ
tanned, greatly different from those
obtained in the case of diabetices,
though as yet scientists have been
unable to fnrstell what these results
indicate.
The substance, obtained from the
pancreatic glands of animals. may
aid greatly in the study Of disorders
OF the human body resulting from
glandular deficiencies, and certainly
will result in a. greater knowledge
Of metabolism, DR.. Mcleod predict
ed. He would not, however, venture
an opinion as to the final outcome
of the studies now being carried on.
A strong plea that ViVlsectlon be
permitted, was part of the address,
telling of the laborious series of eX-
periments which preceded final an
nouncement of the new discovery.
DR.. Mcleod said the perfection OF
insulin would not have been posi-
BILE had he not been permitted to OBJ
serve it's effects upon animals before
introducing it into the human body.
The task of any scientists who
delves into uneXplored fields inVarIa-
bly, results in a battle against lg-
norance, prejudice and superstition.
DIR. Mcleod declared, in telling OF
the many futile efforts to perfect
insulin. The first work in the dis
covefy of the substance was done
years ago, he said, but was continued
in the face of discoura cement and
unforeseen difficulties.
Later the following were elected
members of the executive commit
tee of the association:

IN PSEUDO TACK

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S-Ef-
fectiveness of the Panama Canal as
a means Of national defense will be
put to the test next month when

zone, 5000 strong, both the Atlantic
and Pacific fleets, and an expedi-
tionary force of marines from
Quantico, Va, will participate in the
joint maneuVers, the first of the
kind ever attempted.
A war department announcement
today said the maneuver plan was
based upon the assumption that
strained relations exist between the
United States and imaginary enc
mics, equal to us in resources, man
power and naval strength"
THE Blue government (the
United States) has resisted the pub
lie demand for consolidation of its
Pacific and Atlantic fleets for fear
such an act would precipitate hos
tilities," the announcement added.
early in January a black fleet
enemy appears in the middle of
the North Atlantic ocean and causes
the Blue government to order it's
Pacific force to sail for the Atlantic.
"Our Atlantic fleet will represent
the Black. fleet for the purpose of
maneuvers, while the Pacific fleet
and the Panama canal department
will remain Blue The safety of
the canal during the passage of the
Pacific fleet will depend upon the
regular army garrisons in the Canal
zones"
Instructions giving details of the
situation have been sent to army
and navy commanders to be opened
at noon January IA, and the opera
tons will occur between January JIG
and %. Chief umpires will be AID
miral Eberle, chief Of naval opera
tions, and Major General Hines

the Panama Canal open in war with
the means, both in personnel and ma
terial, placed at it's disposal for the
purpose; second. to obtain data as
to the time required to effect con
centration of the fleet in either
ocean by means Of the canal; third
to test "the practicability of joint
supervision of the army and navy
forces in an operation which necessi
tates the joint use of all our de
