visions of forecast heights Tor the
greatest flood in the history of the
Mississippi valley and hundreds OF
stories OF havoc and misery wrought
by the murky waters of the upper

engineers of the grave danger III
which the lower valley stands from
the approaching flood.
The fifth Louisiana levee board is
sued a statement warning the peo,
rle of the gravity of the flood
menace and sought to impress upon
residents of the lower valley that
the section faced the hardest high
water fight in it's history.
Don't let the temporary fall lull

much more hard work is now nee
essary than ever and eternal vigil

The engineers estimated that the

urged that all levees in the Par

New Orleans, sitting serenely be>
tween the river and Lake Pont-

city of half a million below the

riedly about its ordinary work. Bu.
beneath a placid exterior there were
signs of perturbation.
SO numerous were. the calls upon
the weather bureau that DIR. l. M.
Cline, forecaster, issued a statement
saying that "the city of New or:

imminent danger from the unprv-

English Scientists Prove
Butter Has Food Value
Oleomargine Does Not Compare
With Pure Dairy Products and
Builder of Children

British scientists are now boost
ing the business of the Minnesota
dairy farmer. An experiment re-
Gently conducted by the M, dical
Research Council of the Privy
Council of England has proved to
be one of the finest endorsements
of the value of butter as a food
with which the dairy industry has
ever been favored.
Ninety boys were selected for
observation, under meJ.cai super
vision. They were divided evenly
into three groups andseach group
fed "basic diet" consisting of
meats, fish, vegee ,blas, fruits,
bread and cereals, in wide variety.
The boys in these groups were of
similar ages, ranging from seven
to IL years, and had been careful
ly observed for year preceding
the experiment and were free from
illness or disability in any form
All the boys were similarity housed
and cared for under excellent mod
ern conditions.
One group was fed the "basic
diet" and also butter. "A second
group was fed the "basic diet" and
vegetable oil margarine but no but
ter. The third group was fed the
"basic diet" without either butter
or margarine.
Butter Group Excells
The group fed the basic diet and
butter made an average gain in
height of 2 20 inches and an aver
age gain in weight of 6. 80 pounds
during the year. The group fed
the basic diet plus margarine made
an average gain in height of only
1 "a inches and an average gain
in weight of only 5 .21 pounds dur
ing the yea The group FED only
the basic diet 81 owed exactly the
same again in height as those fed
margarine but did not show as
much average gain in weight.

formation on every aspect of state
park and forest development is dis
tributed to the growing numbers
of those interested. It's creed has
been thus formulated:
'aTo urge upon governments, To-
cal, county, state and national, the
acquisition of land and water areas
suitable for recreation and pre-
servation of wild life, as form of
the conservation of our natural re-
sources, until eventually there shall
be public parks, forests and pre-
serves within easy access of all the
people of the nation, and also to
encourage the interest of nongov-
ernmental agencies and individuals
in acquiring, maintaining, and
dedicating for public use, similar
areas; and as a means of cement
ing all park interests into har-
monious whole, to provide for a
conference, and exchange of ideas
by an annual meeting of such in
terests, and the formation of ia
cilities for the exchange of infor-
nation and ideas between confer
ences."
The ideal to which state park
and forest planners are working,
in an adequate and co-ordinated
program by state, regional, coun-
ty and municipal agencies, is a suf-
ficient number of sites of moder-
ate size, form a few dozen to few
hundred acres, along the principal
state highways, and near the cit
les, ITO serve picnicking and tour
list camping needs, and in addition,
larger wilderness preserves, with
whatever of wild nature state aft
fords, including mountains, lakes,
forests, sea beaches and dunes; to
serve every variety of outdoor
need, especially for those vacation
seekers of harder type, who seek
spice of adventure. Where a
large park can be acquired near a
metropolitan district, it's recrea-
tional value is very great.

By United Press Leased Wire

Howard Jones of Southern Califor-
MIA has clamped lid on the Notre

ers are concerned.
"Football--not verbs and adject-
ives are going to win or lose us a
crucial football game with the I'm
iversity of Washington Saturday" "
the coach told his assembled ath-
letes at practice last night and then
ran his charges through a heavy
drill
Jones has maintained fairly con-
sistent attitude through the heated
pro and con talking that has follow
ed the Trojans return from Chicago
and Morley Drury's now famous
"robbery" speech, which he later
tried to qualify to some extent.
Coach Jones declared that he be-
lieved a "gravc mistakc' in judg-

a touchback instead of safety on
play in which Riley of Notrc Dame
fumbled an intercepted pass on his
own goal and Trojan recovered.
The coach pointed out to his play

waxcd merrily on but that the rec
ords showed Notrc Dame Z; South

way through time. He therefore

RUMORS TRADE
GEORGE SISLER
TO TWO TEAMS
Brown Star Due to Quit
st. Louis According to
Reports.
By GEORGE K1RKsEY
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, Dec. Now that
the football season has beer dis
posed of winter comment is turning
towards baseball with the stove
league engineering numerous trades
the principal one seems to involve
George Sisler, first basemap and for
mer manager of the st. Louis
Browns.
Sisler once was voted the most
valuable player in the American
League. He has hit well over 400
and his fielding is classic. Yet
last year when Sisler hit only 1926
there came feeling through the
major leagues that Sisler would do
better in another uniform.
Dan Howley, manager Of the
Browns and the one who succeeded
Sisler, always has said he could find
no better first baseman than Sisler.
However, talk this year indicates
that Howley may dispose of him.
One trade often mentioned is
that Sisler will go to the Detroit
Tigers for Heine Manush, Lou Blue
and A. Wingo. To contradict that
comes a rumor that Sisler will GO
to Washington in exchange for Joe
Judge.
Another rumor puzzling the stove
leaguers says Urban Shocker, veter'
an Yankee, will no longer be mem
Der of the world champions. A re-
cent statement of Miller Higgins
New York manager, as to his 1928
pitching staff failed to include
Shocker's name.
1t also seems certain that Flint
Rhem and Lester Bell will not be
with st. Louis next season. The
new manager of the Cards, Bill Nc
Kechnie, has let it be known that
they are trading material.
The rumor gained momentum that
these twos .w.QYld come to the New
York Giants for LindstronlS and
Barnes. This was promptly spiked
bv John McGraw.
+, Then there is the case of the two
veterans-Ty Cobb and iris Speak
er. Both are available for this
season and rumor has it that either
one or both may go to the Giants
McGraw merely says he is willing
to "think over'' both players.
