SCHOOL WILL TRY
HOT LUNCH PROJECT

Preparations are being made to
make it possible for the children of
the first six grades of the Askov
school who eat their noon lunches at
the school, to enjoy heated portion
of each meal. According to Supt
Harald Petersen each pupil will be
furnished with half-pint easy open
ing fruit jar in which that pupil will
bring just the food he or she wishes
for each day. At the first recess
these jars of food will be collected
and placed in tubs of water which
will be heated on oil stoves and ready
for serving at noon. The jars will
be labeled and each will get his own
food.
1t is expected that approximately
140 pupils will use the heated lunch
system which will be inaugurated i'm
mediately after the holiday vacation.

ADVOCATES ROAD
OPENING MOVEMENT

Supt. Harald Petersen, of the ASkOv
school has written letter to each
of the patrons having children being
transported to the school by buses,
advocating an effort to keep the roads
open so that the motor buses can be
used all winter The letter follows:
'In the past it has been the custom
to use the horse drawn vans for a
considerable portion of the school year
because of the fact that snow made
the roads impossible for trucks. This
will also be the case this year unless
an effort is made to keep the roads
open.
when the horse drawn vans are
used, not less than 81 of the children
who attend this school have to enter
the vans before 500 a. m, and of
course these children will not get
home until after 500 p. m. During
cold weather they suffer severely
tired before they begin their work at
school.
when the trucks are used the chill
dren are not in them long enough to
really suffer from the cold. They are
transported in about half the time that
is required by the horse drawn vans.
They leave home later and get back
earlier.
Furthermore, if the roads are
kept open, passenger cars will be able
to use them, and the people of the
community will not need to hibernate
during the long winter months. Many
long and tedious rides to town will be
avoided. 1t will be possible to attend
church and other meetings during the
winter months just as in summer.
Medical service will be more quickly
obtainable. In the spring the roads
will dry out far more quickly.
"At Remer, Mimi, town about
ninety miles north of Askov, the
school children are transported by
motor trucks practically all winter.
When the roads become blocked the
farmers cooperate with each other
and open them up again. Only in

rare cases is it necessary to use the
horse drawn vans for few days while
the roads are being cleared
Last year the farmers living east
of Askov co-operated in keeping their
road to town passable for cars. They
constructed a home made pillow, and
when the road became blocked they
used eight horses for blowing away
the drifts. This year they have or
ganized again and have appointed Ole
Olesen and Helvig Christensen as
SHOWCASES" each for two miles Of
road. When the road needs attention
these men call out the required men
and direct the work. Last year Law
renee Paulsen and other farmers liv-
ing south of town, kept their road
open by using grader and several
teams.
Perhaps the same general plan of
attack could be used on the other
roads. The farmers living along
one or two-mile stretch of road could
get together and select one of their
number to act as "Snowboss" and give
him authority to call out the farmers
when he thinks it necessary. I feel
confident that the bus drivers will do
more than their share of the work.
prevention is always better than
cure. A small amount of work done
in cutting brush along the road in
places where drifts always form
would likely save good deal of
work later on. The farmers living
along the east road are going to make
snow fences out of brush. In some
places snow fences are made out of
snow. In a few places it might be
best to drive through the fields beside
the road.
The chairman of the township tells
me that the township has no money to
use for removing snow. For this rea-
son it is necessary that this problem
be handled through voluntary cooper
alton. Since everyone will derive
benefits, all should be willing to do
their bit"

A succession of speakers told the con-

MIAMI, Fla, March 81. - Six men
arrested in liquor raid on the Palm
Island estate of Alphonse Capone, Chi
cago racketeer, and subsequently re-
leased on cash appearance bonds, today
sought writs of habeas corpus.
Two gave their names as John and
Albert Capone. Authorities said they
were brothers of the gangster, despite
statements by Chicago police that Ca
PONIES brothers are named Mimi,
Joseph and Ralph, the latter Cicero,
H., night club operator.
The man identifying himself as John
Capone and frankie Newton posted
$500 each to answer charges of illegal
possession of liquor. The one giving
his name as Albert Capone and James
Vincent, Louis Cowen and L. j. Bren-
nan furnished $3.50 each on vagrancy
charges.
The raid, based on the afidavits of
sheriff's deputies that they saw liquor
in the house recently in making a
search for Crane Neck" Nugent, want
ed in Ohio on murder charges, resulted
in the seizure, officers said, of 10 sacks
and 8 bottles of liquor and a quantity
of champagne.
Authorities said they found no trace
of Al Capone in the residence.
frankie Newton, the caretaker, was
charged with violating the national
prohibition law.
Frank H. Wharton, city manager,
characterized the raid as ''grandstand

The Horrors of the Skvscrapcr

There is something very frightening about the pictures
of the city of the future which our architects arc paint
ing for us these days.
The skyscraper seems to have gone to the architects
heads. Magnificent to look upon. they seem to be max
ing it into a bc-all and end-al Of existcncc-and if their
current gucsses are right our children arc going to b?
living in a dizzy sort Of world a few decades hence.
New York realtors. in blind enthusiasm. arc pushing up
new buildings that tower over anything yet seen, like
Jacks beanstalk; and the architects are telling us that
the buildings of the future will make even these seem
small and insignificant.
We shall have buildings Of $50 stories, they tell lis, each
Of which will house some 10000 people. Tho upper 40
or SO floors will contain, observation-disclosures" the
boosters dare to call them. Under these, for a dozen or
more floors, will be schools. colleges. recreation halls,
movie thcaters, indoor golf links. restaurants. churches,
swimming pools and other modern convenienccs. Then
will come stores for a dozen floors or more; and below
these. all the way to the ground. offices.
Thus it will be possible for an American so years hence
to pass his entire life in one building. He could be born.
90 through childhood, get his schooling. indulge in all
kinds of recreation and perform all of his work without
ever stepping outside of the super -skyscraper in which he
came into existence. And if you have ever heard Of
anything more horrible than this, now is the time to
speak up.
A city filled with skyscrapers Of that kind would he
a breath-taking spectacle, to be sure. But what sane
man would want to live in it? And what man, living III
it, could stay sane very long?
The skyscraper represents a triumph Of science. The
mere fact that we are able to erect such buildings speaks
volumes for our technical skill. Putting up the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon was an infants job compared to
putting up the Woolworth building.
But there is one thing more important than knowing
how to build skyscrapers-and that is knowing when to
build them. 1t is very doubtful that all of our grea.
towers have increased human happiness in the least.
Consider the unspeakable crowding Of New Yorks SUBJ
ways, Chicasos clcvateds or any large citys surface cars
during the rush hour. reflect that this crowding is born
Of the skyscrapcr, and ask yourself how many ~l50-story
buildings you want in your city.
Our one hope is the probability that these architects arc
mistaken. The modern city needs, not to be concern
trated still further, but to be spread out. We need better
rapid transit facilities. not taller buildings.
In some respects the breed is improving: Not so
many Of the younger element this winter arc pastins
their hair into position.

TAPEWORMS

When q patient realizes that ne
possesses a tapeworm, he becomes
greatly worried, even though the tape
worm is usually easily removed.
Sometimes people are unaware that
they have these parasites, as there
may be no symptoms. Or there may
be abdominal pains. diarrhea with
neusea, and in some rare cases,
anemia. The patient is often quite
hungry and after eating q good meal
all of the symptoms vanish.
The tapeworm is known to be pres
ent at any age, from children to old
people. The beef tapeworm is most
usually found in North America. It
may measure from fifteen to eighteen
feet, or longer. The tapeworms live
in the intcstineS of their hosts. They
are flat and without any digestive
organs. taking their nourishment by
absorption through their skin. They
arc formed of a head which may or
may not have hooks and sucking
disks to enable them to fasten them
selves. If the head is hooked. as
with the pork tapeworm, then it is
called armed" If it is without
hooks, as with the beef tapeworm,
then it is called "unarmed." The
head of the beef tapeworm is larger
than the pork tapeworm. To the
head is attached a small neck, and
to it is affixed a chain of segments.
Each segment contains both the male
and female organs. The head is
capable Of forming new segments so
that the length of the chain of seq
ments is constantly increasing.
The pork tapeworm Is more often
found in Europe and Asia than In
America. It may .bc from six to
twelve feet, or longer. The head is
round and no larger than a big pin
head. The head is attached to a
throat, and from the throat the long
line of segiments begin. This worm
takes from three to three and a half
months to develop. When it has
reached the adult stage, the segments
break off. In each segment are found
thousands of ova, and each ovum has
an outer shell and inside of the shell
an embryo worm. If a hog consumes

The Elusive Riddle of Life

A German scientist not long ago succeeded in MAJ

cells,
Thus one more thing that men had always thought
only nature could produce has been manufactured by

physicist of the United States Bureau Of Standards
to say:
The body is after all simply a physical and chemical
laboratory. There is no reason why we cannot under
