CHICAGO, March 6.-From Jan.
/, 1926 to Jan. l, 1928, 440 highway
grade crossings with railways were
eliminated In this same period
the total number of highway grade
crossings increased from S,701 to
236,283. This means that in this
two-year period 3,022 new grade
crossings were constructed, or that
highway authorities are building
new grade crossings about seven
times as fast as previously existing
crossings are being eliminated.
THE net increase in the number
of grade crossings" states report
submitted here today at the
thirtieth annual convention of the

 House Bill No. AZ, accepting for the Alaska College 100000 acres of land, held up for the past three or four days, finally passed through it's second reading this morning. Another House measure, relative to constructing airplane landing fields and hydroplane moorings by the Territorial Road Commission was also considered in second reading. As it passed the House it only re- quired cooperation from munich palities of 1000 or more population, calling for 9 per cent of the funds expended from that source.

cepts the benefits of the Act of Congress extending to the Territory the Smith-Lever Acts applying to land grant colleges. This Federal Act would bring to the college $l0,000 annually without obligating the Territory to spend a cent and would also operate to bring addi- tional funds to the college provid- ed the Legis S lature appropriates money to take over the work.
 Senator Hess explained that Dr. Bunnell, President of the College, was anxious to have both measures passed as quickly as possible, par ticularly the latter, as all details had to be settled at once if the college is to get the $10oo0 for the next fiscal year.
 Both Are Held Up
 The Senate majority, however, he'd different ideas. Senate Frame moved that both of them be referred to the Finance Com mittee, a motion identical with one made by Senator Sundquist last Wednesday. At that time it was beaten by four to four vote. Yes terday, the minority secured a di- vision of the motion, voting on each measure separately By a four to four vote, the referring of the bill accepting the 100000 acres of land was lost, Senator Benja- min voting with Senators Dimond, Dunn and Hess to keep it on the calendar. But on the question of referring the other bill, he voted with the majority side and the bill, which carries no appropriation whatever, was sent to the Finance Committee. Last Wednesday he had voted not to take that action.
 Senator Sundquist then asked that the other measure be contin- ued on the calendar to give him time to study it. This was grant, ed as the minority seemed reluc- tant to force the issue and made no protest against it.
 Delay Seems Deliberate
 Senator Hess charged that the tactics of the majority were design ed to delay deliberately these meas ures, intimating that it was the result of the Houses slashing of the Controller bill. He protested vig- orously against such tactics and was joined by Senator Dimond There was no denial by any of the members of the charge, but President Steel retorted that the opposition had the right to act on it's own convictions.
 Aside from the Controller bill, the Senate's session yesterday was largely routine. It considered SIX House measures in second reading, one and advancing five to the general file for final action today.
 Rejects School Bill
 The Senate this morning by vote of six to two voted not to concur in the amendments of the House to the Senate school refund bill, and asked the House to recede from it's position As is passed the Senate, the measure called for a straight refund of 85 per cent

SENATE FAILS
 TO CONCUR IN
 HOUSE CHANGES
Reie cts Amendments to Controller Bill-Blocks
 College Legislation

The Senate yesterday afternoon by a vote of five to three refused to concur in the House amendments to the Steel measure for re-organi- zation of the executive branch ot the Territorial government. Sec retary Cash Cole was directed to notify the House of the Senate's action and ask the former to re- cede.
 There is no likelihood that the House is going to be that accom- modating just now. It's move, which is the one taken in normal cases where differences arise over bills will be to refuse to recede and sug- gest to the Senate that it appoint a committee on conference to meet with a like Committee of the House to discuss the points of divergence of opinion.
 Get Down to Business
 And when these committees have been appointed then the two op- posing forces will be able to get down to real business. What has happened so far has been more or less routine The Senate majority had no difficulty in passing the original Steel measure. It wasn't even considered necessary by it to make any speeches on the sub ject. And in the House the op- ponents of the Controller Bill mus ter sufficient strength to have kill ed the Steel bill entirely. It chose instead to strike out the Controller features and pass the other DOT tions of the measure for the cre- ation of an audit department and the election of an auditor and treasurer.
 The minority in the Senate would like to concur in the House amend ments. Senators Dunn, Dimond and Hesse voted for concurrence yDSbtIQdy. AACJ oAoO AAASsSS SAA effort to have the House amend ments considered separately in or der that those which did not deal with the controller features might be considered at once. But the majority stood solid against such a procedure and forced the matter as a whole back to the House.
 Effect on Legislation
 That other legislation will be af- fected by the situation was clearly indicated in the Senate yesterday. On the calendar for the day were two House measures in which the Agricultural College and School of Mines is interested. One pro- vides for the acceptance of 100000 acres of land granted by Congress to that institution. The other ac-

Trees Retain Moisture
Cast by Drifting Fog

Trees and other vegetation catch
water from drifting fog. and often
shed 1t on the ground below In imita-
ton of rain. This Is called fog drip.
The legend OF the rain-tree OF the
island of Ferro Is explained rs a case
OF fog drip, and the dewponds OF the
downs are not fed by dew, but to a
large extent by fog drifting In from
the sea and caught by plants around
the ponds.
A scientist made the experiment of
measuring fog-drlp. by exposing two
rain-gauges on Table mountain, South
Africa-cne In the ordinary way, the
other with number OF upright plnnt
stems attached to 1t In such why as
to catch water from the mists and
clouds floating over the mountain.
During SO days the first gauge caught
only four inches Of water. and the
other nearly eighty Inches.

Washing Udder Helpful
in Stimulating Yield

When cows are stabbed much OF
the time the udders and rear quar-
ters usually become more or less
soiled. This can be prevented In a
measure by clipping the long hair
around those parts but even then
frequent washing is necessary.
II the best quality milk Is to be pro-
duced the udder should be washed
before each milking. One man should
go through the barn with soft cloth
and a pail OF warm water doing this
Just before milking Is started.
Such a plan not only insuros clean
illness but 1t Induces the cow to let
her milk down more freely 30 that
when the mixer comes to her the
udder is ready for the process OF
milking. Some cows are slow to
give down" and for them the mas
saying or manipulation OF the udder

washing lis especially useful.

DAIRY FARMER OF

Will Not Permit Cow to Eat
Up Profits of Another.

well-bred dairy cattle, which will be
fed largely from luxlrlant. home

of the future will know how to live
better and will live up to the best
that he knows. That is tie prophecy
of ]. {. Mcdowell. of the bureau of

''rle dairy farmer of today is
progressive he says. "but in many
eases he is passlyely progressive. He
knows what tn do but he does not al
ways do 1t. The farmer OF the future
will never allow one COW to eat up the
profits another COW Is making. He
Will allow only high-produclng and
profitable dairy cows on his fertile
farm.
AT the present time the average
dairy herd produces about $50 pounds
Of butterfat year per COW. The
time will come when our dairy herds
will double that production. This.
however, will not result in overpro-
duction OF dairy products, because we
shall then keep fewer and better cows.
By doubling the average production
per cow. IT is possible. to triple the
average income over cost OF feed.
Thus the dairy farmer will make more
money.
But why do dairy farmers want
more money? They want 1t In order
that they and their families may have
better living which includes better
homes and better schools. The time
Is coming wien our dairy farmers
and their families are going to have
not only a good living and the adj
vantages of the open country but also
many of the opportunities and conven-
fences that are now enjoyed by the
