IS Students Study
North Dakota Mill

Grand Forks, N. D., April &c.
Ninety-five students of economic
geography at the state university
completed an inspection trip through
the state mill and elevator here Tues
day. The trip was made in connection
with the study Of cereals and was
under the direction Of Mr.. E. c.
Pietsch. instructor in geology. The
trip through the mill, elevator.
power plant and laboratory required
about two hours. The guide. furnish
ed by the mill for anyone who wishes
to 60 through the plant, conducted the
inspection.
This visit to the mill and elevator
IS taken every year by the economic
geography class according to Mr..
Pictsch. and he believes it to be one
Of their most profitable field trips
since they have an opportunity to
study the most up-to-date processes
Of milling.
Points Of particular interest to the
class were the methods Of cleaning
wheat, using four gallons Of water to
the bushel. and extracting the dirt
and foreign materials by means of u
series of scparators, the purifying Of
the ground wheat, insuring uniform
quality Of flour, and the new modern
bleaching process. In the laboratory
the Class saw how the protein test
was made and how every hour . sam
pie is taken and made into bread. /!
insuring uniform mixture that
makes the largest possible loaves Of !
the best quality. In this manner the |
gluten strength of the flour is deter |
mined and kept to the standard that !
goes into Dakota Maid flour and the !
five other grades that are milled.

GUARDSMEN TO
BEWELLFBDAT
SUMMER CAMP
Cost of Feeding Each Man at
Encampment Is Figured
at 50 cents a Day

Devils Lake, N. D., April 26.-Lp)-
| Mothers whose sons encamp here mex
June with the North Dakota nationa
guard need not worry about the kline
OF: qaulity Of food that will be served
them. according to information re.
cived here from the office Of Adju.
tant General Frasier.
| Contracts will be let in the nca,
future for tons of groceries of all
| kinds to feed the states military
| force and none but the best quality
will be purchased.
The cost, puard officials estimate,
will be about 80 cents day for each
man. IT there were more men in the
outfit or If they stayed in camp long
or the cost would be even less. Guam
tity buying and less waste, guard Of.
ficers say, explains why the army
can feed man for less than it costs
him to eat at home.
Official estimates indicate that L..
1893 officers and men will attend the
camp this summer as compared with
1877 last year.
The daily menu this year will be
approximately the. same as last when
fresh fruits, berries, fresh vegetables,
butter. chicken and other poultry and
ice cream were served frequently.
Butter was served at every meal and
occasionally there were flapjacks or
hot biscuits to relieve the monotony.
The bin for butter. eggs, poultry. zee
cream and similar items listed as
delicacics totalcd $l,5O7.32. This
year, with moro men in camp, it'll
probably will be larger.
In addition to other items listed
as sweets the men this year will
again be plcntifully supplied with
jam Of the same variety that rcigned
in every American training camp dur
ing the war. The reason is the need
for sugar in the ration. Last year
IL big cases and six extra bottles
were consumed at the camp. A bottle
contains five gallons.
The cooking will be done, for the
most part, by guardesmen who will
incidentally receive additional train |
ing under the watchful eye of army
instructors. the idea being to fit them
for their jobs so that they could give
a good account of themselves and keep
the men in their respective conipa- |
MES in fighting trim If called upon
in an emergency.

Helpful Hints by
Golfng Stars

In the semi-final round Of match
play tournament for club teams the
result depended upon the last match
which was carried to the nineteenth
hole. Here A played her opponents
ball after the tee shots and thereby
Immediately lost the hole under Rule
2. Neither player, however. knew the
rule and they proceeded to play out
the hole, 3 having dropped another
ball, and the result was win for A.
It was then pointed out that this
could be regarded as the waving Of
penalty" and would mean the dis
qualification Of both players, and this
would leave the contest between the
two teams undecided.
The affair was eventually settled
by the two players replaying the
nineteenth hole. B won this. which
was perhaps entirely satisfactory. as

over the first quarter Of last year.
While the bulk figures for the indus
try show marked increase in pro-
duction the Oldsmobile figures are
based on actual retail deliveries and
are indicative Of a remarkable gain
in public preference for Oldsmobile

erS.
Preliminary reports for the frs:
ten days of April and orders on hand

Would II be possible for only nine
men to be listed in the at.bat column
in u regular nine-inning game!
While such q thing is possible.
il is highly improbable.
For such thing to happen it would
be necessary for the first two men in
each inning to get on without being
charged with q time at bat.
This. Of course, would be possible
by having the first two hittcrs receive
base on balls or be hit BY pitcher.
Then. to get the inning over with
only one player actually at bat. the
third man up would have to hit
into triple play, retiring the side.
This procedure would have to be
repeated in each Of the nine innings.
Thus the only player actually charged
with time at bat would be the
player hitting into the triple play.
Nine such innings would show nine
players in the time at-bat column at
the finish.

Billy Evans Says
.urderer's Row

Murderer's Row
Murderer's row was a rather an.
propriate name given to four or five
sluggers on the New York Anne ricans
q few years back.
American League pitchers certain.
~ regarded them in that light as
| one after another Of these much.
feared sluggers faced them.
The. passing Of Wally Pipp. and
the slump experienced BY Ruth and
Ward. caused the title to be aband.
oned last season. The old punch was
missing.
Looks as if it would be revived
again this year from the way the
Yankees arc hitting the ball.
Ruth IS doing comeback. while
Lazzeri and Koenig have been added
to the combination. These three
provide something for pitcher ia
worry about.
Rude Reception
Nine runs and nine hits in one in.
ming is an experience entirely new
to the great Dazzv Vance, star pitcher
Of the National League.
The speed ball king was treated
to such a happening in one Of the
spring games between the Yankees
and the Dodgers.
Seven of the hits were singles, two
were doubles and one error was
mixed in for 4 total of nine runs.
Never in all his career has Vance
been SO rndely handled in q single
session and it is doubtful il it ever
happens again.
NO-TIit Game
Most Of the star pitchers Of the
majors have at some time during
their career turned in q no.hit game.
Grover Alexander is one of, the few
exceptions.
Walter johnson has one to his
credit and on another occasion held
the st. Louis Browns hitless for
seven innings, only to have rain
end the game and spoil his chance
OF adding another hitlcss affair to his
record.
On one occasion Alexander had
two strikes on the batter and two
out in the ninth, only to have him
scratch hit. pop fly back Of sec.
ond. to spoil the big chance.
Now that the baM has been toned
down a>bit. Alex ha: hopes.
Most Valuable
Received query the other day as
to whom ! regarded as the best south
paw in the American League.
While there are several lcft-hand-
ers in the American League who !
have more stuff than Herbie PEN |
mock. to my way of THINKING he is
the most valuable.
Pennock has good assortment Of
stuff. . particularly good curve, fine
control and world of courage.
In addition. ne has perfect poisc,
which means nothing bothers him;
no situation is too difficult for him
to tackle and, when hardest pressed,
he seemingly does his best work.
Yes. sir! Herb Pennock could pitch
on my big league ball club if I
owned one.
Promising Rookie
OF the young pitchers saw in the
south. none impressed me more than
Elmer dutch" Levsen Of the Cleve-
land club.
Levsen is right handler who, aside
from having good speed, boasts q
mighty fine curve ball.
Last season he was with George
at Rochester in the Inter-
national League. Stallings has q
habit Of developing good pitchers.
He says Levsen is one Of the best
that ever worked under him.
II Levsen is able to win for Cleve-
land the. Indians hopes Of finishing

 A month later, on June 1415, 1919, two British aviators, Captain John AL cock and Lieutenant Arthur w.. Brown, succeeded in making the first non-stop' flight across the Atlantic They flew in a Vickers Vimy bomber from St. Johns to Clifden, Ireland, a distance of 1900 miles, in sixteen hours and twelve minutes.
 The first nonstop dirigible Trans atlantic flight was accomplished the same summer, in July 1919, by the British dirigible, R-34, which crossed the Atlantic from east to west, and from west to east. Commanded by Major c. H. Scott, the R-34 flew from East Fortune, Scotland, to Mineola, New York, distance of 3,200 miles, in 10S hours July 27. The return trip July 1914 from Roosevelt Field to Pullman, England, a shorter distance, was accomplished in seventy-five hours.
 The Atlantic ocean was again crossed in October, 1924, this time from Friedrichshafeh Germany to N. J., 5,O6O miles in eighty one hours, by the ZR-3, later the Los Angeles, then commanded by Hugo Eckener.
