TAKES YARDSTICK
INTO CONGRESS
Would Measure Solons as
Typical Americans.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of mem
bers Of the national house and senate
is to be attempted during the present
term of congress by DR.. Arthur Mac
Donald, anthropologist, in an effort to
determine the physical status of the
American people.
Doctor Macdonald, author of scien-
tific books, will try also to arrive at
mental and physical proportions of
the citizenry of 30 other nations
through similar examination of their
legislative bodies, which he is en-
deavoring to arrange with the coop
epation of the State department.
He believes members of congress to
represent, both mentally and physi-
cally, the American people.
The anthropologist purposes also to
compare various groups of congress
men as to legislative ability, FREEDOM
inant lineage, sociological condition
and physical status, after which he
will calculate the relation between
these factors.
He hopes that the work may lead
presently to similar classification of
legislatures by states, so that there
will be established eventually COM
parison between the legislatures of
different nations and national groups.
He explains why he is selecting
lawmaking bodies as the bases for his
tests:
'"The physical measurements of
members of congress represent the
anthropological status of the whole
country much better than. measure
ments of any other body of men.
More important still, these measure
ments will be a basis for the health
of the nation"

a cow would die. With little air her
body cannot function properly. With
plenty of air her bodily mechanism
can run normally. Milking cows con-
stantly need a full ration of fresh air
to maintain health and produce milk
abundantly. Well ventilated barns, ar
ranged so as to throw off the used, foul
air and supply clean, fresh air are
necessary for most profitable results
during the stabling period which nor
mally comprises two-thirds of the year
throughout the Mississippi valley.
The oxygen in fresh air makes it pos,
sible for the lungs to freshen the
blood, which in turn handles the ma
terial that goes to make milk, for milk
is made from the blood stream. A
COW on q half-ration of fresh air can
not Operate" at her best nor can heI
body function normally any more than
she can produce all the milk she is
capable of producing on half-ration
of feed. Milk is merely combination
of sunshine, fresh air, grass, hay.
grains, green roughage and water.
The modern dairy COW is merely liv
ing, breathing, highly organized crea-
tlre entirely dependent upon man for
the amount and quality of her sus
tenanee-even to her daily supply OF
air when she is stabled-and. man, In
turn, is dependent upon her for the
food products upon which have been
builded the nations which have
achieved the highest type of civilization.

LONE PROSPECTOR
ON RUBBER TRAIL
Texas. Offers Best Chance of
Supply of Plants.

Washington. by Thomas
Edison, quiet, One-man rubber ex-
ploration of the semi-arid lands in
southwestern Texas and the adjacent
territory in Mexico has been carried
on during the last few weeks. DR.. J..
N. Rose of the United States national
herbarium was the personnel" of the
expedition and he has brought back to
Washington number of specimens of
plants suspected of rubber-yielding
possibilities.
"The plants paid most attention
to were those belonging to the milk
weed and euphorbia or spurge fami-
lies" said Doctor Rose. "The milk
weed has long been known to have
rubber in it's milky juice, but so far
it has not been found in paying guam.
titles. The euphOrbias include such
familiar plants as the Christmas thorn
and the poinsettia and are somewhat
more distantly related to the Hevea.

source of our rubber.

found was one member of the euphOr-
bia group. A rough analysis of its

Whether this will be confirmed by
more careful examinations in special
ly equipped laboratories | have, of
course, no way of knowing just yet.
"Of course, sensational promises of
great rubber plantations in Texas
would be nothing but pipe dreams.
Mr.. Edison has made it quite plain
believe, that what he has in mind in
his present program is the develop
ment of potential emergency supply
which could be drawn upon if a war
or other calamity should cut US off
from the cheaper rubber of the trop-
icS."
The Mexican part of Doctor Roses
expedition took him south along the
gulf coast for about hundred miles
beyond the border. This was during
the time of the recent abortive revoIu-
ton; but Doctor Rose reports that
this part of Mexico was not affected
by the uprising and that in any case
most of the region was uninhabited.

Herring feed largely on shrimp eggs

OF course the wives in question are
not actually dumb. But to all intents
land purposes they might as well be.
They are dumb by force of circum-
stances, as it were. For their hus-
band can't speak their language, nor
can they speak the tongue of their
lords and masters.
Throughout the Far East it is COM
mon for white foreigners to marry
women of the country in which they
settle. Nowhere save in the Philip
pines, however, does a practically
complete lack of verbal contact seem
at all prevalent Perhaps it is the
Ienervating climate, which is not con-
ducive to the mental eXertion re-
quired in learning new language. In
any case, examples of this strange
mating are not hard to find.

Miss Beatryce Morgan, campaign

quotes the above as the spirit she

Miss Morgan has been in chau-

and gone tomorrow. In most Of
the cities where chautauQua has
been booked, the advance worke. is

In other places, the feeling has not
always friendly before the chautau-
qua opens, and it is up to the CAM
paign director to make things
friendly before the artists appear.

til we get into it and start working
with its people. Bismarck seems to
be an excellent chautauqu town,
and have had enthusiastic cooper
alton in paving the way for the pro-
gram here"
But that IS not all that Miss Nor
gan feels for Bismarck. She has
gotten a real thrill here, 81: ce it is
