 FOOD TEST SUBJECTS

 The small amount of food re- quired. the short life cycle, and the simple laboratory requirements for producing insects recommends their use, staff members say.
 Less time is required for experi- ments if beetles are used, they say. because developments come more quickly than when animals are used.

Eleventh Hour Repentance

Farmers 81 the Northwest must have been somewhat
amused BY the recent address Of Senator Nye Of North
Dakota in which be predicted that a farm relief meas
ure would be passed at the short session Of congress
regardless Of which party won the national election.
While u IL not unlikely the republicans would de-
sire to get credit for farm legislation II smith were
elected, Senator Nye should not overlook the fact that
President Coolidge will remain chief executive until
the end Of the short session on March 4. In view Of
ms two vetoes and his pronounced opposition to the
farm relief program, in which mr.. Hoover appears w
concur il would be anything but consistent for the
republican INTEGRITY to pass a farm relief measure at
the short session.
Senator Nye's remarS were probably intended for
campaign purposes. but there is little probability that
the American farmers, after waiting eight wears FOR the
promised relief, will place much faith in the eleventh
hour prediction Of the North Dakota senator. The
voters Of his own state. normally republican. are nov
threatening to r~epudiate that party as a result Of the
failure Of the farm relief program. Even the republic
can governor Of that state has joined the democrats N
the program TO remedy the farm situation by equal
iznE the tariff and passing a farm relief measure
which will embody the fundamental principles Of the
McNary-Hangen bill.

The World and All
cow NOT TO WRITE

There II 4 fine. fat book before me. I picked it
nm. three weeks ago. with a thrill Of anticipation. be-
cause the subject IL one I love. The book Is Leonardo
the Fiorentine,' by Rachel Armand Taylor. II Is nicely
bound, handsomely printed. It has several interesting
ruIl-pare Illustrations. II has an extensive biblioEra-
ply and a noble index in the back Of the book.
The subject is one that interests most students Of
men and their ways. for Leonardo da Vinci, Of Flor
ence, is one Of the outstanding figures Of world his
tory. He was a genius, o painter, engineer, chemical
experimenter. wonder-worker. His personality attracts,
and the romanticism Of the period in which he lived IS
Or compelling interest.
This book, / noted with satisfaction. has $50 pages,
compactly printed. Here, surely, ! would satisfy all
my curiosity about the great Leonardo. ] would have
some jolly hours!
For three weeks. then. l have struggled along, try
ing to get into the heart Of this book. / found the
opening chapters tiresome. but ! felt that the thing
must warm I'D a. I advanced into the body OF the work,
for surely nobody could write about Leonardo without
shedding some light and warming the heart Of the
reader.
With great regret. l give h up. Someone here has
striven with a writing job. and has failed. 50 far ~ \
am concerned. to create the slightest ripple Of interest.
although the subject is one Of the most interesting in
the whole cataloE Of subjects.
Here, then. is an example OF how not to write. Let
me give you a paragraph Of IT.:
The terrible bow Of the Alps lay 70 the north VI
the Plain Of Lombardy. the terrible bow that loosed
the maddened arrow Of the invasion, time and again,
for the god Of those awful. indifferent peaks had ~
compassion for either side Of his dreadful defiles when,
in huntsmans mood, he wound his starry, taunting
bugle- The far Apennines closed the east; on Me west
the Plain ran fair and fruitful to the Adriatic."
There are pages upon endless pages Of this "fine
writing" There is a sort Of fogEy frenzy running
through III the lines. totally ObscurinE the great fig.

The moral Of this story is this: when you write,
write about something. Don't watt yourself millions VI
