JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Novem.
ber 30.-The exacting and com.
plex machinery of intercolle.
~ giate athletics in the South
will receive it's annual over.
hauling December "a, when arbiters
of sports from members of the
Southern Conference gather here in
legislative assembly.
The conference embraces every
State in the old South excepting
Arkansas and Texas.
Each year has been an epoch-mak-
ing period for the conference. The
continual expansion of sports in the
Southern States, now eaching parity
with athletics in the North, has de-
manded continual adjustments to pre-
serve the harmony of athletic rela-
tionS throughout the extensive ter
ritory.
Lay fandom attending any great
collegiate athletic classic usually has
little idea Of the tremendous frame
work of regulations and organization
which has made it possible for col
lege sports to reach phenomenal
heights without serious interference
with classroom work and without the
loss of amateur idealism. 1t is to
this work that the constitution Of the
SouthernoC Conference Is dedicated. The
purpose and function of the confer
ence is set forth as the promotion of
intercollegiate athletics in every
form, TO keep them within their
proper bounds by making them an
incidental and not the principal fea-
ture of intercollegiate and university
life.
Rules Are Ironclad.
The conference and similar bodies,
which control the smaller institutions,
including high schools, prescribes the
path for the athlete as he progresses
from the common school teams TO the
college yarsities. A scholarship re-
quirement is demanded and pure anna
teur standings are preserved through
the exercise of ironclad rules.
The object Of the program is to
guard against an over emphasis of
collegiate athletics by compelling the
athlete to consider his games as only
"A part and not the object of his col
lege education. and because the per-
sonnel Of the representative athletic
teams of each college necessarily
comprises a small portion of the stu
dent body, the conference strives to
eliminate one-sidedness by encourag-
ing games for ali students. This has
given rise to the promotion of intra-
mural athletics, the participation by
the whole college body in campus
games.
Leading the fight for a large empha
sis on intramural contests is DR.. S.
V. Sanford, faculty chairman of ath-
letics at the University of Georgia
and president of the conference since

PUREBRED BEEF BULLS
IMPROVE COMMON COW
OFFSPRING BY $1,000

A great preventable loss in Amer
ican animal production is in the low
quality of the sires used, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. In not other phase of ami
NAL husbandry is it possible to make
such direct, such marked, and such
profitable improvement at such slight
cost as in the use of superior pure
bred sires.
Records Of the beef-cattle breeding
work at Sni-a-Bar Farms, Jackson
County, Mo-, furnish examples of the
value of a good bull. Common COWS
in calf to common bulls were pur-
chased as foundation stock for the
demonstration farm. These COWS
were later bred to purebred beef
bulls. The first-cross steers brought
50 a hundredweight more than the
common steers.
Since the dams of the two lots
were essentially the same and the
methods of feeding and marketing
were identical, the difference Of 50 a
hundredweight in their value may be
fairly attributed to the superiority of
the purebred sires used for the first
cross as compared to those used on
the farm from which the foundation
COWS were purchased.
At the average of 1000 pounds
live weight for the animals, an in
crease of 50 a hundredweight in the
value at marketing time of the off
spring of a purebred bull brings an
increased value of $24O a year on a
crop of 12 calves, ,.if it is assumed
that the heifers improved equally
with the steers.

MISTAKEN IDEA OF TORNADO
CORRECTED BY SCIENTISTS

The commonly accepted definition
of tornado, often found even in
dictionaries, is erroneous, according
to the Weather Bureau of the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture. The "funnel-shaped cloud like
waterspout, sand column, or dust
whirl" is not the tornado itself, but
phenomenon that occurs with it,
prOphen of the violent and de-
structive winds that constitute the
tornado. In meteorological terms a
tornado" is a small, violent, ro-
tating windstorm, sometimes con-
dined to an area Of thousand feet
OF less.
A cyclone, as meterologists I'M
derstand it, is a system of winds
accompanying an extensive region of
low barometric pressure. 1t may
cover an area of a thousand miles
or more, and is usually character
lied by clouds and precipitation. A
hurricane" is cyclone, which US
ually originates in the warm waters
of the South Atlantic or Caribbean
Sea, and consists of violent destruc-
tive winds that damage property
and el hanger life. This same type
of stor is called a typhoon when
it occuH in the vicinity of the China
Sea and the Philippines. The pro-
bable direction of a hurricane can
be predicted from observations,
and the speed of its progress is
reckoned from it's measured wind
velocity. The Weather Bureau
sends out by radio and telegraph
warnings of approaching hurricanes,
so that ships at sea and persons.
at all points in their paths may
take steps to protect themselves.

ARE CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS
REALLY EXPENSIVE Z

The daily current expenditure per
grade pupil was 45.0 cents, includ-
ing transportation expenditure, in
the SO consolidated schools in IL
linois that spent the most for pupil
transportation in 1924-25. In $50
of the 745 one-teacher schools OF
six counties in the same part of the
state, the daily current expendl-
ture per pupil was 46 cents or
more. These facts are shown in
study recently reported by the re-
search department of the Illinois
State Teachers Association. 1t
states further that 34.1 per cent OF
the teachers in the consolidated
schools were in "Class Az the high
est grade, while only 1913 per cent
of those in one-rOOm schools were
in this class.
Other studies and statistics have
shown that consolidated schools
may be operated at approximately
the same per capita cost that one
teacher schools require. A great
saving results when each teacher
has full quota of pupils, since the
instruction item is the largest of
the school budget. Instead of seS-
eral one-room schools in a COM
munity, some of which may have
only a few pupils but each re-
quired to maintain separate Or
ganizatiOn, it would be possible in
many localities to have one central
school operating at almost, if not
quite, the same cost as the sew
eral. This, the Sc consolidated
schools Of Illinois that spend the
greatest amount for transportation
found to be true.

MILLER AND DAUGHERTY
WILL BE TRIED AGAIN SOON
Former Alien Property Custodian
Must Again Face Jury

Harry NJ. Daugherty, former Uni
ted States AttOrney-General, and Col
onel Thomas w. Miller, former Alien
Property Custodian, whose recent
trial on charges of conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government of their best
judgement as Government officials
resulted in a disagreement, will be
retired, United States Attorney En-
ory r. Buckner announced Wednes-
day. He placed the case on the cal
endar before Federal Judge Angus
tus N. Hand and said he would ask
that the trial be set for December.
Daugherty and Miller were in
dicted on May Z charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the United States
of their honest services and judge
ment in obtaining an allowance of
a claim against Colonel Miller as
Alien Property Custodian. AS re-
suit of conspiracy, it was alleged,
about $7,O00,O00 was paid over by
Miller to a Swiss corporation. The
Indictment named also the late John
T. King, a prominent Republican
from Connecticut, and Jesse W.
Smith, a former Court House, Ohio,
who lived with Daugherty in Wash
ington, D. c., while the latter was
Attorney-General, from 1921 to 1924.
The indictment alleged further
that Daugherty and Colonel Miller
shared in fund of $441,00O paid by
the Swiss corporation in return for
the allowance of their $7,000,000
claim.
Daugherty and Miller were placed
on trial before Federal Judge Julian
w. Mack and a jury in the United
States District Court, September z.
The jury, after being out three days.
disagreed.
An important witness in the case
is known to be abroad, and Mr..
Buckner's announcement of another
trial was taken to mean that this
witness had been located and had
agreed to return to testify again. Mr..
Buckner would not say that he had
obtained any new evidence, but it is
known that he and several members
of his staff have been steadily at
work on the case ever since the dis
agreement.

AVOID SWEET POTATO
DISEASES BY SELECTING
SEED IN THE FALL

Sweet potato seed should be Sc
lected in the field at harvest time
says the United States Department
of Agriculture. Selecting the seed at
this time will enable the grower to
note the yield per hill, the relative
size and shape of the potatoes, and
the presence or absence of disease.
Only medium-sized well-shaped po-
tatoes from productive hills free of
disease should be saved for seed.
Sweet potatoes are subject to a
number of diseases, the worst of
which are stem rot, black rot, foot
rot, and, in the Southwest, root rot.
The presence. of these diseases can
be noted at digging time, the names
being descriptive of the condition to
avoid either in the potato or the
vine and underground parts Of the
stems.
The fungi or organisms causing
these diseases live over in sweet po-
tatoes in the storage house and
grow from the diseased seed pota-
toes into the plants developed from
them. In the early stages these dis
eased plants are hard to detect, and,
consequently, many of them are set
in the field, where the fungus con-
tinues to grow. Setting out diseased
plants can be largely avoided by
careful selection of disease-free seed
at harvest time while the potatoes
are still attached to the vines. Only
sound, healthy potatoes should be Sc
lected, and only from vines the
stems of which are not rotted or
otherwise abnormal.
The selected seed should be stored
in baskets or crates, in part of the
house where they will not come in
contact with the general stock.
