The latest Sono Art-World Wide
Thrill-O -Drama, Hell Bent For
Frisco which comes TO the Dit
mann Theatre beginning today Is
filled with thrills from start TO fin
ish with never a let-up. Some OF the
most exciting sequences are those in
which racing automobiles play a
major part.
In the first place, there are some
truly remarkable shots OF an auto
mobile race around a board track
during the course OF which one Of
the car turns over. Nothing as ex-
citing as this has ever been filmed
even in the newsreels. Another Sc
Quence which will make audiences
hold their breath Is one in which an
armored car chases another auto
mobile containing two bandits down
the winding road OF q mountain side.
In a marvellous example Of trick
c-ving the bandit car is forced off
he road and falls several hundred
feet down the mountain.
The man who does the driving in
this second ca thrill IS none other
than Charles Delaney who, before he
turned 10 the films was a well known
Tier during the war.

NEW WAY MEASURING HAY
System Comes Within Per Cent
of Count BY Bale

In the Western and Great Plains
States, where range stock is
brought into the valley in the Fall
to be Wintered on alfalfa stubble
and hay, cattlemen customarily
buy hay in the stack. A recent
bulletin from the United States
Department of Agriculture states
that this department has found
that the usual methods of estimat-
ing the quantity of hay in the
stack are inaccurate, and it has
formulated new system of meas
urement. w. H. Hosterman, hay
marketing specialist of the de-
partment, has classified haystacks
into three types, according to their
general shape and employs with,
length and over-measurements in
obtaining estimates. The over
measurement is the distance from
the ground on one ide over the
top of the ground on the other
side. To obtain in cubic feet the
volume Of a square, flat-topped
stack, he subtracts fifty-five one
hundredths of the width from ff-
ty-six one-hundredths of the over
measurement and multiplies the
result by width and length. To de-
termine the volume of a high,
round-topped stack, he uses the
same general method, but substi-
tutes forty-six one-hundredths of
the width and fifty-two one-hun-
dredths of the over-measurements
for the corresponding figures.
Low, round-topped stacks are es-
timated in the same way as high
round-topped stacks, except that
forty-four one-hundredths of the
width replaces the corresponding
figure in the previous formula. The
new method of estimating has
been checked by the department
and by the Agricultural Expert
ment Stations in California, Idaho,
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska,
Nevada. Oregon, South Dakota and
Utah. In all cases the estimate
was within 5 per cent of the ac-
curate measurement. Mr.. Hoster-
man has prepared a table, showing
the number of cubic feet of stack
ed alfalfa, timothy and wild hay,
respectively, required to weigh a
ton, and also table of volumes of
round haystacks of varying dimen-
sions.
