Baltimore. Nd. Dec. 7.-lR-By
measuring the depth of liquid
when only four bilionths of an inch
separated its surface from the bot
tom. Drs. J. c. w. Frazer And
Walter A. Patrick, professors of
chemistry at Johns Hopkins univer-
sity, have solved a problem which Is
expected to aid in the solution of
many other problems of their
science.
Although such a delicate measure
ment usually is considered sum-

undertaking. it was done here a one
step in broad program designed to
unravel some of the skeins Of mys-
terry which entangle the fundamental
concepts of the little known but in

The immediate purpose was to

existed as to the magnitude of the

the molecules of gas or vapor to

ARKANSAS DAIRY
Interests GROW
Art Bo@tetd BY Work Of
III Club

Fayetteville. Ark, Dec. tPi-
Boosted by the work Of All club
boys and girls, Arkansas dairy in
terests areadvancing in an ever
expanding program.
College OF agriculture official at
the University OF Arkansas de-
scribe the club work as factor of
major importance. In counties
where clubs have been operating
a genuine desire to realize dairy
opportunities in the fullest has
been manifested.
Almost without exception. busi-
ness and professional m have CO.
operated with agricultural agents
in sponsoring club work. Each
man selected boy or girl club
member and created a fund for the
purchase of purebred calves. and
made numerous visits to the farms
to offer aid and advice. During
state and county fairs, stores and
places of business were neglected
Ivy these men while they helped
their club members prepare their
stock for the show ring.
In return the club members are
repaying their loans by growing
good crops. Acre crops Of cotton,
corn, rice. and potatoes are help
ing the boys and girls esta
full ownership of the purebred
dairy calves.
Among the outstanding individ-
ual calf club members who have
made this work foundation for
successful dairying is Roy Buell..
OF Green Forest, said by college Of
agriculture experts to be one OF
the most promising Jersey breed
ers in northwest Arkansas. All his
COWS and heifers are related to the
calf he bought as club member.
The quality of his herd may be
computed by the fact that daugh-
ter and a granddaughter Of his
first calf won the state dairy con-
test two successive years.

breeds that have been held holy by

being imported and raised by Cult
Coast cattlemen in great herds
Already they have spread from
Texas to Florida and breeds
now are being shipped as far north

Their ability to Withstand the

about the early importations OF
the cattle from India. 1t now has
been found that in cross-breedins
they add to the hardness of native

Foil, with Smith constantly hover

In the Nationwide Presidential
Poll, Hoover now has about fifty

the Poll his percentage was much
higher. His percentage Of the to-

IN which he also leads, is fifty

The closeness of the balloting
indicates a very close battle in
