HOGS LEGS

Whether Chickens Get Right
Kind of Food, Another
Problem
BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH.

The Governments in sa t liable
thirst for investigation took a new
turn today when the Bureau Of
Standards announced study of
the toughness Of beef, crushing
strength Of eggs and breaking
point of hog legs.
Scientists at the bureau are now
Investigating virtually every de-
tail of human existence.
Sizes and contours Of flappers'
hosiery, the chewing power of false
teeth, heat of the stars, effect of
solar eclipses on radio, birth Of
pigs under painted canvass, SYM
thetic sugar, weight Of the earth,
warming quality of blankets. dem
sity of denatured alcohol, and
germ-killing powers of ultra violet
rays, are some of the varied SUBJ
jects under Official scrutiny.
Free Lunches Soon.
The statement OF George K.
Burgess, director OF the Bureau of
Standards, that tests made by
machines which win measure the
toughness of beef. win be checked
with the opinions Of expert meat
eaters, makes it evident that the
bureau will serve some free lunches
~ soon as the investigation gets
under way.
Just what constitutes an expert
meat eater" has not been disclosed
but officials admitted that q gala
day is approaching for Americas
champion consumers OF food.
The experts, 1t was assumed, will
be gathered about an outlay OF
beef Of every degree OF tenderness
and toughness. At the signal of
the referee they win attack these
viands in the worlds greatest meat
eating contest.
An apparatur now IN use for
testing the tensile and torsionat
strength Of beef" in the future 10
expected to- be a principal itcm In
the equipment Of every first class
The Investigation was launched
OF Agriculture.
Proper food for stock viii produce
tender meat, in the view OF ex-
pefts.
Varieties Of beef from stock fed
on a wide variety OF food viii be
studied. Stock food which yields
the best meat viii be recommended
70 the farmers.
Food For Poultry.
"In experimenting with different
foods for poultry it is important to
know whether or not sufficient lime
has been included in the diet" "
Burgess explained.
This can be determined by
measurements Of the crushing
strength of eggs.
1.-The. strength Of hog bones also
depends on the diet. The Depart
ment of Agriculture believes that
with a proper diet the losses due
to broken legs during shipments Of
hogs may be reduced.
TESTS at the bureau were made
on bones taken from hogs used in
the feeding experiments. The
bones were supported at the ends
and loaded down at the middle.
inspectors in judging the quail
lty of beef, note the appearance of
the meat. but this gives little iu-
dication Of it's toughness. The Dc
partment of Agriculture has ex-
perimented with toughtneEs tests,
but has found nothing entirely
satisfactory.
Successful Tests Devised.

Vised successful test which win

paratus is available"

visit to the University stock farm
are willing to testify that when it
comes to preparing meats, the Wyom-
ing college lad is hard to excel. A
class in butchering and preparing
meats is conducted in the college of
Agriculture and the actual work of
selecting the best type of hogs. butch
ering with the least waste possible,
and curing the choice cuts is carried
on by the Ag students under expert
direction.
The students have proven hat if
a farmer will kill and cure his own
hog he can sell himself the meat at
the existing market price and can
have the cured ham and bacon extra
for the few hours of work the butch
ering and curing will require. 1t is
found hat from an average 225
pound hog the farmer can secure
10 pounds Of sausage, 81 pounds of
lard, 3 pounds of spare ribs, the
tongue, the heart, 26 pounds of
ham and $500 worth of picnic
shoulder" In addition, there re-
mains Is pounds of ham for curing
and % pounds Of bacon.
The students in selecting the hogs
best suited for butchering, endeavor
to pick animals which will have meat
of a fine texture and which can be
butchered with the least waste. At
ter the carcass is cooled, the hog is
cut UP into standard cuts with the
idea of obtaining the most desirable
pieces with the least possible waste.

In" President
COOlidge's Inaugural
Address on March 4th

WASHINGTON, ID. c., FEB. IS
The greatest radio "hook-up" the
world has even known will be accom-
plished on the fourth day of March
at which time the address OF Presi-
dent Coolidge will be broadcast from
practically every sending station
throughout the United States; so for
the first time in the history of any
nation millions of people will be able
to heal the inaugural address of a
nations head. This hook-up. as the
radio. people call 1t, has beer made
possible by the arnes cooperation
OF the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company who will pick up the
speech and send II to all parts OF the
nation.
II has been suggested by a close
friend OF the President that AS this
occasion IL one In which every man.
woman and child Is interested that
wherever possible in schools, clubs
hospitals and other places that the
speech be broadcasted to such AS
may desire 10 hear It. II would. no
doubt. be an object lesson. as well rs
a patriotic and instructive idea, to
have someone in each community
provide the schools with a radio,
equipped with n loud speaker. for
use during the time that President
Coolidge Is speaking In Washington.
As a matter OF patriotism, II would
no doubt. be well to have the par
ents OF the children present in the
school rooms during the time that
the speech Is being broadcasted.
Should this suggestion be adopted II
would mean that over fifty million
OF our people would have an oppor-
tunity To hear the voice of the Chief
Executive OF the nation and once
more will America lead the world In
scientific attainments.

and lard and the ham and bacon is
given a curing process by the use of
old fashioned brown sugar, salt and
s%altpeter (the latter to retain the
red color in the meat). These agen-
cies are either rubbed into the cuts
or are made into a liquid solution
and are allowed to- soak into the
meat. The mea are then packed
into an absolutely clean, odorless bar
rel and left for seven days when the
curing agencies are again applied
and the cuts returned to the barrel
and left for fourteen days. The pro-
cess is continued with the ham which
is treated again with the sugar, salt
and saltpeter and returned to the
barrel and left there for a period
of 2h days per pound. Then the

GIVE HOGAN A LIFT

With the first five years or more
OF its existence (the most trying per-
iod of any organization) in the past,
The American Legion has well earn
ed the slogan "Give Hogan a Lift
which slogan Is being used by the
Department of Wyoming in its mem
bership drive.
Hogan is in reality a wounded ex-
service man whom the Legion desires
to give a lift. The Department of
Wyoming wants to advance Hogan
with the best possible care which ac-
counts for the extensive membership
campaign in progress at this time.
At this time 1t might be we'll to
review a few Of the things the Lee
gion has done. The facts are pre-
scented as follows: THE Legion made
itself an outstanding powerful civic
organization. 1t led in unearthing
the U. S. Veterans Bureau scandal;
Pushed every piece of beneficial legis-
lation for veterans; Caused the Or
g%anization of the U. S. Veterans
Bureau; Helped secure 100000 ad-
justments of disability claims; Placed
more than 1000 men in vocational
training. Obtained passage of the
'Reed-Johnson bill which permits vet
Grams to be ho%spitalized even though
disability is not of service origin;
automatically connected up thous-
ands OF tubercular and mental cases
without requiring proof of service
connection; Established uniform flag
decorating system; the national ad-
justed compensation became a law
after a five-year fight by the Legion.
With the above. the work of the
Legion has only begun and a few
of the facts as to what the Legion.
is doing and what 1t proposes to do
are further presented. The Legion
sees to it that the disabled World
War veterans get Justice = get prop
er disqualification and become reha-
bilitated in so far as may be possible.
To this end 1t: Provides for a con-
tact man between the veterans and
the Veterans Bureau in each of the
fourteen regional offices OF the
Bureau. This man is the veterans
representative with his government.
The Legion of Wyoming looks after
the comfort and welfare of the vet
Grams at U. S. Veterans" hospital at
Sheridan where 800 disabled buddies
are now confined. Members of the
Sheridan post are big brothers to the
DuuuleS III JnlS INSTITUTION. A luna
of $5,000.OOO is being sought by the
Legion. The income from the fund
is to be used in work for disabled
veterans. orphans Of the World War
and for child welfare work in gen.
eral. The honorary committee for
The American Legion Endowment
Fund is headed by President Calvin
Coolidge with Vice President Charles
G. Dawes as vice chairman.
The Legion maintains a National
Legislative Committee, with offices
at the national capital, and en-
courages every kind of legislation
which the Legion believes is bene-
fetal to the veterans or to the coun-
try.
The big aim of the Legion is to
see that the disabled veterans-and
there are now $4,000 of them in u. S.
hospitals-receive the best are and
treatment that science and money
can provide. The war will never be
over for many Of these buddies. Is
It worth while to Give Hogan a
Lift?"

Word Puzzle
Advertisements Are
Proving Very Popular

Although for various reasons this
paper has not been running a cross
word puzzle in each weekly issue,
two firms the E. Mosher Inc, and
H. Larsen's Hardware store have
been running the puzzles in their adj
refreshments with the result that con
siderable interest has been manifest
ed in the working out of the puzzles
and getting the prizes offered by
these two establishments.
Four names were published in last
weeks issue as the persons getting
er, Inc, for the correct answer to the
puzzle in the Issue of February 5th.
In all instances the persons who re-
ceived the prizes applied at the store
at an early date to get the gifts.
In this, weeks issue, in that stores
advertisement, will be published the
names of the persons getting the
gifts for the puzzle in last weeks
issue.
By noon on Friday of last week
all eight prizes offered by H. Larsen's
Hardware store were called for. In
this stores puzzle an error was com
mitted when three lines which aided
in the working out of the puzzle were
left out. Regardless of this fact
several persons worked out the puz-
zle while others applied at the store
and upon being given the additional
lines they completed the puzzle,
thereby winning the prizes offered.
One person called at the store at
7:1O Friday morning while another

BALLOU FIXES
NEW TRUANCY
RULES
Investigation and Mental Test
Required to Excuse
School Pupils

Doctor Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, acting under
his newly given power to state
under what circumstances only a
child may be excused from com
pulsory school attendance, has laid
down the following regulations:
~4AH applicants for release from
school attendance must in the fu-
ture be referred to the director of
school attendance and work per-
mits, Miss F. L. Bentley, who Will
investigate and report.
The Board of Education then
must consider the results OF an
official mental test, record OF at
tendance and progress of pupils in
classes, social history of pupil,
present status and recommendation
Of investigators.
If in the judgment OF the super
intendent the pupil should be re-
leased from school duties after this
report has been completed, the
child is excused.
Heretofore there was no. system
of excusing child. It was left
wholly to the discretion OF the
parents or teachers.

ANCIENT BIBLE FOUND
IN COLLEGE LIBRARY

LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. 3D.
Four hundred years ago, Chris
topher F'roschauef toiled away at
the newly-invented printing press
to- produce in the language OF his
people a German translation OF the
Latin Bible. A copy of his original
edition, bearing the dates 1926 ana
1929, has been found In the Watts
De Peyster Library OF Franklin
and Marshall College.
The Bible bears the colophon OF
the printer and his trade mark.
These, according to Professor e. II.
Heller, of the Reformed Theological
Seminary of the United States,
stamp the book as one of the origi-
nal edition.
How the Bible came into the pos
session of Franklin and Marshall
| College is not known. It was found
several days ago. Previous to that
time there was no record OF its
existence. There is no record TO
show how the book came from the
printing press in Zurich to Lam
caster.
The book is large and thick. It's
cover Is made OF thin boards en-
cased in leather. Brass REINFORCE
ments have protected the edges
through four centuries of apparent
~ severe usage. The Bible is print
ed in six sections, the last part
having been completed after four
years Of toll.

STANDARD OIL
INJUNCTION
DENIED
Inquiry Into Oil Reserve Land
by U. S. to Continue,
Mccoy Rules

Application of the Standard Oil
Company for an injunction to pre-.
vent Hubert Work, Secretary of the
Interior, from prosecuting an in
curry into the mineral character of
the lands of the oil company in
cluded within the Elk Hills naval
reserve, was today denied by Chief
Justice Mccoy Of the District SUI
prems Court.
The inquiry sought to be halted
was recently begun at Vasalia, Cal.
under the authority of a joint reso.
luton of Congress introduced by
Senator Walsh of Montana.
The oil company claimed that the
title to the lard had been SERVED
from the State of California more
than fifteen years ago, and that an
investigation into the claim of its
mineral bearing condition had been
held before Secretary Fall of the In
terror in 1921 who had given verbal
directions to the commission of the
General Land Office to dismiss the
proceedings against the company
which claimed this action estab.
|lished it's title and took from the de-
partment the right to make the
proposed inquiry.
