Between OIdfeld and De Palma
bad blood of the most vfrulent

all possible skill in handling the

have shown more skill than Oldfield

this they both, owe their lives.
The matches were In three heats.
As L gave them the nag for the

BALDWIN GIVEN
CONFIDENCE
VOTE
Support Overwhelming as
English Councils Report
Is Submitted
By F. A. WRAY
international News Service

BRIGHTON, England. Oct, 81
Premier Baldwin's government was
today given an overwhelming vote
of confidence by the conservative
party conference here.
Efforts of dissidents to pass
vote of censure against the govern
ment were futile. only two lonely
delegates voting for such action.
Test in Report
The test came when the executive
councils report %aS submitted 10
the conference. This report indorsed
Premier Baldwin's policies and de-
clared that his efforts to remedy
the. ills of the nation had not yet
been fully tested rs they were just
beginning to bece ne effective.
I'VE gave Mr.. Baldwin a big ma
sority. but we didn't present him
with a magician's wand" said Sir
Percy Woodhouse, presiding at the
conference and speaking in behalf
of the executive council report. we
did not give the premier the magical
power to cure unemployment ana
other evils of IT,. state in twelve
MONTHS" said Sir Percy, replying
to charges that the Baldwin govern
ment had failed TO act upon TIC
problems confronting it.
Odds Opposing
Although the dds were openly
against them small group OF dis
satisfied tories courageously moved
that the report Of the executive
council be referred back. They
urged the adoption of this motion in
order that the conference might
s'show the government how grave
and serious is the discomfort
throughout the country with regard
to the conservative inaction.
The motion also censured the gov
eminent for it's failure to remedy
unemployment and denounced
Premier Baldwin's ignominious
surrender to Emperor Cook" by
granting a coal subsidy to maintain
present mine wages, to stave of
threat from A. J. Cook, secretary
of the Miners Federation, that
strike would be called IL wages
We're reduced.
For a time it appeared that the
motion might have some slight sup
port. but the dissenters were showed
under a flood Of pro-Baldyin oratory
and when the vote came only two
of the dissenting delegates had the
courage to vote their convictions.

ScripturoI Mama

According to the Scriptures, mama
was the food of the Israelites for 40
years. The food was gathered every
morning, every man according to his
eating, and when the sun waxed hot
it melted" 1t is described POLITICALLY
as food from heaven" and bread Of
the mighty" No substance is known
which in any degree satisfies all the
requirements of the Scriptural refer
ences but one proposed is to identify
mamma with lichen which grows upon
the limestone in the Arabian and other
deserts. The older masses become de-
tached and are rolled about by the
wind. When swept together by sudden
transforms in the rainy season they
may be collected in large heaps. 1t is
a form Of nOurishment in the desert,
especially when eaten with the sugary
mama from the trees.

Waterways That Are
Small but Important

To be told that there is an Ameri-
can waterway a little less than slx
miles in length that carries more
freight than the entire Mississippi
river from Cairo to New Orleans
would be startling to geography classes.
Yet such is NewtOwn creek, a short
tidal arm of the East river, that
winds its way inland and, with three
miles of main channel and two miles
more of tributaries, furnishes hundreds
of New York industrial concerns a wa
terway service.
No one has been named great In
the school histories as the discOverer
of NewtOwn creek, and its muddy wa
ters resemble most Of the streams
that carry more than their share Of
commercial burdens. But the spars
of shipping and the tall chimneys Of
factories tell its story. 1t is dirty and
lacks romance, because 1t is used for
other purposes.
These short streams that seem to
have no particular usefulness suddenly
take on great Importance when To-
Gated where they can be utilized by
an industrial population. The Chicago
river is hardly on the maps, but its
importance in giving Chicago several
precious miles of port facilities has
never been underestimated. The Big
Muddy in southern Illinois may some
day be one of the greatest coal car
riers in the world.
In the waterway world a stream
does not have to be large to be useful
Size counts for little. The wonder II
that in places where nature has beer
so generous with her waterway bount!
we have made so little use Of it.

Gunpoupder's Inuention

The origin Of gunpOwder is In
volved in considerable uncertainty,
but it is believed that the mixture
and it's characteristic properties have
long been known, even before its use
to propel a prOjectile from some form
Of artillery. There is evidence that
the recipe for making gunpOwder was
in the hands Of some Of the alchem-
lists Of the Thirteenth century, and,
on the strength Of passages in the
works Of Roger Bacon, he is often
spoken of as its inventor. The dis
covery of gunpOwder is also assigned
to Berthold Schwartz. by whom 1t was
mentioned in 1928.

Tree Rings Win Tell
Secrets to Scientists

Scientists of the Field Museum of
Natural History expect to learn what
the weather has been like for 200
Gears or more in the Vicinity of Chi
cago by studying the rings on oak
and willow stumps, says a museum
bulletin. It has been found that trees
of various kinds register within their
trunks a fairly accurate record of the
seasons, because the wood that grew
in the summer and that which grew
in the spring can be distinguished in
the annual rings. BY these compari-
sons, deductions as to the amount Of
rainfall and sunshine that the trees
received can be made.
Carrying the study further, the mi
crOscope is expected to disclose what
part of the wood was formed during
cold, rainy and dry seasons, for the
structure of the little sap tubes diff
fers according to these conditions.
Experiments and observations also
have shown that the greatest growth
In trees occurs on the side opposite
the direction of the winds. For In
stance, there are trees in Colorado In
which the heart of the trunk is close
to the bark on the side from which
the prevailing winds blow.

Largest Water Wheels

Water wheels in the western world
are rivaled in size by four giants
which have served to make famous the
town Of Hama, in northern Syria, on
the River Crontes. The largest Of the
four wheels is Of wood, and is about
seventy feet in diameter.
The wheels are driven by means of
what is known as the undershOt prin-
ciple, the wheel being turned by
water flowing beneath it. The creak-
ing Of the wheels is incessant day and
night, for they are never stopped. The
water is used not only to supply the
needs Of the town, but for irrigating
the surrounding gardens as well. This
is a most primitive form Of water
supply. but is, nevertheless, quite ade
quate to meet the needs Of the town OF
Hama.
