VOCATIONAL EDUCATION To
IMPROVE DAIRY INDUSTRY
r.. w. HELM, VOCATIONAL IN
STRUCTOR, FOR BETTER MILK
Calls Attention to Bulletins Issued
BY Federal Board of Agricul-
ture for Benefit of Farmers

Millions of dollars could be add
ed each year to the incomes of
dairymen in the United States by
improving the quality of milk,
cream, and other dairy products,
according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. Farm
ers who produce high-quality milk
may often obtain from to 20
cents a hundred pounds more than
farmers who produce poor quality
milk, the Department states. It
is with these facts in mind, there
fore, that the Federal Board for
Vocational Education has issued
it's bulletin No. 154 Analysis of
Special Jobs in Quality Milk Pro
duction," containing reliable sub
iect matter for use by teachers of
vocational agriculture in giving
systematic instruction on certain
operative jobs connected with
quality milk production. Fourteen
different jobs are covered in the
Boards bulletin. Among them are /:
Maintaining general sanitary con-
ditions on milk-producing farms;
maintaining sanitary conditions in
the milk house; cleaning and car
ing for milk equipment; keeping
cows clean; milking; pasteurizing
milk; testing milk for bacterial
content: and maintaining the
health of the daily herd. A spec
ial new feature of this bulletin is
the interpretive science and relat-
ed information which accompanies
the analysis covering each job
For instance, accompanying the
analysis for teaching the job OF
cleaning and caring for milk
equipment is a scientific explana-
ton of the reasons why cool water
is better to use in cleaning milk
utensils than hot water: of the
comparative merits Of different
methods of killing bacteria il
dairy utensils by the use of chem.
icals; and how to make the chem
ical solutions recommended fol
this purpose. Similar information
accompanies the analysis of th'
other Jobs described in the bull
letin. Many vocational agriculture
schools over the United States arr
located in sections where dairyins
is an important farm enterprise
In numerous instances a consider
able portion of the cash income O
the farmers in these sections /!
derived from the production anC
marketing of milk and milk prod
ucts. Dairying therefore common
ly appears as an enterprise II
courses offered for the various
groups served by vocational edu
cation in agriculture in such local
tiles. Because of this fact, there
fore, it is the feeling of the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Educa
ton that the production of qualit.
milk should, from the standpoin
of health and economics, merit
prominent place in dairy instruc
ton in vocational agricultur
schools. The Boards bulletin
therefore, is an attempt to provid'
information on the use of teaching
material for such instruction.

COURT EXTENDS MERCY
TO ESCAPED PRISONERS
Four Boys Under Suspended SEN
tence for Breaking Out of Ma
tional Training School.

Justice Peyton Gordon in Criminal
Division today suspended the impoSi-
ton of sentence on three white boys
and one colored boy recently indicted
under the new law making 1t a felony
to escape from Federal prison. The
boys were in the National Training
School on Bladensbury road under SEN
fences from other jurisdictions and still
had portions of specific sentences to
serve. To punish them for their escape
the court would have 10 impose pen
atty to be served at che expiration Of
their present sentences. Justice Cor
don decided to hold the possibility of
an added sentence over their heads IN
the nature of a deterrent to prevent
further attempts to escape from the
institution. He remanded them to the
National Training School.
Two of the white boys, Austin Hearell
and Central Norton are only IS years
old, and Harvie Pritchard, the other
white boy, is 10. Herman Norman,
colored, is 10 years old. Some Of them
had made as many as four escapes
from the institution and others had
left two or three times. The manages
ment of the institution reported the
matter to the Attorney General and
recoursed was had to the new Escape
felony statute to have them removed,
but the wording of the statute interfered
with the accomplishment of that pur.
pose and Justice Gordon was disin-
clined to add an additional sentences
without giving the boys another trial.

POSTAL BRIBERY
CASE IN PROGRESS
Department of Justice Pre-
pares Case Against Indiana
Member of Congress.

The case against the Indiana mem
Der of Congress- who has been charged
by the Post ONCE Department with &C
cepting money from four postmasters
for their appointments, is being pre-
pared in its final details today by the
Department Of Justice criminal di-
vision. George r Jeffrey, United
States attorney at Indianapolis, is in
ference yesterday with Nugent Dodds,
newly appointed Assistant Attorney
General in charge Of the criminal di-
vision
Meanwhile, Justice Department off,
Gals stuck to their contention that the
name Of the member of the House in
volved should not be made public until
formal action Is taken by the Govern
ment. The four postmasters, sum-
marily dismissed by Postmaster Gen
eral Brown after being accused of buy
ing their appointments, lived in the
district OF Representative Rowbottom,
Republican, who was defeated in the
November elections.
. Attorney General Mitchell, although
pledging the department to swift action
in the case, would not disclose the ac-
ton contemplated. He said the normal
course would be for Jeffrey to place the
charges before grand jury at the
earliest possible moment unless facts
are uncovered to preclude this move.
The case against the unnamed In
diana Representative came as a result
OF information given the Post once
Department by Senators Watson and
Robinson, both Indiana Republicans.

FILIPINO KIDNAPPED
AND ROBBED OF SEC
Freed in Monument Grounds
After Being Held Blind
folded Six Hours.

Abducted by two men as he stepped
into his car early last night. Gregoria
A. Soria, 34-year-old Filipino, of 1924
Thirteenth street, was blindfolded and
held prisoner for nearly six hours after
being robbed of $50, he told the police
today.
Soria was released by his captors In
the Monument Grounds about O'Clock
this morning. A lookout was broad
cast by the third precinct station, where
he reported the case, but the two men
were still at large today.
Police were told by Soria that he was
getting into his machine parked near
the Columbia Hospital at Twenty-fifth
street and Pennsylvania avenue about
$3.50 o'clock last night when the men
leaped into his car.
One pushed a revolver into his side,
Soria said, while the other afixed a
handkerchief over his eyes, His money,
about S56, was taken and the pair then
drove him to house In an unknown
section of the city.
Soria said the men did not remove
the blindfold until they left him in
the Monument Grounds in his own
car and he had no idea of the loca-
ton of the home where he was held
captive.
The victim Of the robbery described
his captors as being about 6 feet tail
and wearing grey overcoats and caps.
He said 1t was too dark at the point
where the men entered his machine to
determine whether they were white or
colored.

NYE WILL PROPOSE
GUSHING OF DAVIS
Senator's Election Cost Too Much,
Says Chairman of Prob.
ing Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Pennsylvania Senate seat, now held
by James j. Davis and long vacant
while the conflict over William S. Ware
ragged, again Is threatened.
Because expenditures of the Repub-
lican ticken upon which Davis was
elected reached a sum placed by Chair
man Nye of the Campaign Funds In
vestigating Committee at about 81 ,200,-
600, the North Dakota Senator has an
nounced he will introduce a resolution
to unseat the former Labor Secretary.
His action, said Nye yesterday, will
come probably in little more than a
week, as soon as the committee has
completed it's Pennsylvania investiga-
ton and report and after other press
ing business Is disposed of.
"On the record as 1t stands now, I
don't see how I could be consistent
and refrain from offering such a reso-
luton if others do not do it," he said.
cit Is not pleasant thing, but the
only thing to do. This will be de-
termined move and more than a ges-
ture. The Senate at least should be
given an opportunity to vote upon it,"
Davis withheld comment.
Nye asserted there was Slight diff
ference" only between the Davis case
and that of Ware, who was denied a
seat on the grounds Of excessive ex-
penditures and other charges in con-
nection with his 1926 primary cam
paign.

RED CROSS LISTS
AID FOR ARKANSAS
S192,930 Used for Relief in
State Since January |,
Report Shows.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Hungry Arkansas farmers have re-
ceived $192. $3.50 from the National Red
Cross since January /.
This sum brought to $4s5 PA the total
Red Cross relief there, exclusive of what
local chapters have spent since Deem
Der 81.
De Witt Smith, assistant director of
domestic operations, reported today the
national relief fund was being more
heavily drawn upon not only in Arkan-
sas but in other drought States where
the Red Cross has taken charge.
Up to the first of the year, he pointed
out, the localities concerned have borne
their share of the burden, local Red
Cross chapters in Arkansas contributing
$107,006, as against cash grants of
$185,197 from the national organization.
Smith said that even now, in many
cases, it was only necessary for the Red
Cross to give many families small
grants to supplement their own food
to bring it up to normal rations. He
emphasized that each family is con-
stdered as an individual case, and
helped according to its need
OF $849, 965 spent prior to December /,
$292,284 was in the State of Arkansas.
