Taste In Colors Called
 Criterion of Civilization

DENVER, Colo, May 13-(P)- Prof. Thomas Russell Garth, of the department of education in the Uni versity of Denver, declares that pref erences in colors denote types of civilization and orders of intelli- gence.
 He pointed to a recent test made by the University of Texas, which found that white children cared most for blue and evinced a particular distaste for yellow.
 ''The more white people are edu- cated," said Prof. Garth, "the less they esteem red. In fact, they SUD- press all colors except blue as they become more educated"
 A previous examination of 1000 Indians shows that red was their favorite color. They disliked vel low, avoiding it's use whenever pos sible. One thousand Chinese child ren, given the same test, displayed

Horses Wear Snow Shoes
 to Cross Rocky Mountains

MISSOULA, Mont, May 13.-P)- Weather conditions in some parts of northern Montana, particularly in the mountain sections, make it ne- cessary at time to resort to rather unusual efforts to circumvent na- lures handicaps.
 An instance is the reported plan of c. s. Hinkle, superintendent of construction work on the Lolo pass road project, to theborder between Montana and Idaho where the high way crosses the Rocky Mountains.
 With snow still two and half feet deep and the beginning of the sea sons construction operations plan ned, MT. Hinkle decided to send 30 horses over the mountains on snow shoes.
 Boards about a foot square are fastened to the feet of the horses. These, MT. Hinkle says, will be suf- ficient to support the animals weight and it is said they quickly learn to handle the unaccustomed footgear.
 Fred Morrell, district forester for the northwestern area of Montana, says his men occasionally find it necessary to resort to the same ex- pedient in crossing the summit of the range.

Hard-working Farm Hands
 Find Time for Daily Dozen

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.-(P- The director of a radio broadcasting station here says many California farmers are going through their daily dozen with the aid of the radio.
 Promptly at o'clock every morn ing physical culture expert broad casts directions for setting-up exer- cises, and there is a piano accompani- ment. Whole families sometimes ap- pear to attend in the privacy of their homes the class in waistline reduction.
 The only objection thus far received by the broadcast director came from some farmers, who asked for an ear Her hour for their daily dozen. They wanted their exercises before milking the cows. But since the farmers are in the minority and the city radio fans consider am. early enough, the hour is unlikely to be changed.
 Many in other states pick up the gymnastic broadcasts. The oldest ra- dio daily-dozener to report is a 79- year-old Civil War veteran in the sol diers' home at Yountville, Cal The youngest is five-year-old girl in Bel lingham, Wash. Among the corre- spondents are women between 70 and 80 years of age, and some of them have asked for more strenuous mat exercises.
 It is estimated that 10000 are talk ing the service.

Records of 1860 Show
 4 Eggs S,:d for a Cent

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.- of Agriculture ex- perts, in hunting down data for a statistical compilation of the price range on agricultural products dur ing thepast 100 years, have come across some astonishing exhibits of the low cost of foodstuffs in by gone years.
 It is a matter of record that Caleb Hitchcock, merchant of Perry coun- ty, Ohio, purchased from Holten Ma jors, farmer, 35 dozen eggs at three cent a dozen, and sold to him two gallons of whiskey at 25 cents a gallon. But this happened in 1860.
 The records further show that Hugh Manney, of Lake City, Mississ- ippi, in 1S48 sold 9S pounds of raw cotton at 12 cents pound. In 1860 corn in Minnesota sold for BOG a bushel, and wheat for 75c a bush el. In 1S46 in Chester county, H., ham sold for 7c a pound, beef 2 1-2 a pound and stove wood $1 cord
 In 184S in Charles county, Mary land, two pounds of chewing tobac- co sold for thirty cents. In 1884 in Cleveland, Ohio, corn sold for from 15c to 200 bushel and wheat from soc to 6Oc. During the same year in Morgan county, H., cows sold for from $10 to s20 and live hogs at two cents a pound
