VITAMIN DIET FOR COWS

MADISON, Wis, January 13.-The

DR.. Harry Steenbock Of the University
of Wisconsin, who originated the process

BY his process, still in the experiment

The resulting ilk would then contain
vitamin D, which, with other sub

MILWAUKEE HAS CASH
City Enjoying Surplus as Most Num-
cipalities Are Needing Cash.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, January 13 Up.
A little trick of municipal hnance-
the ability to enjoy the benefits OF
bond issue year before the bonds are
sold-was explained today by Milwau-
kee city officials.
It is one of the simple devices which
gives Milwaukee, the city that started
the year with surplus OF $4,000 OO In
cash, amazing financial stability at a
time when the credit Of many cities is
not so strong
Two Reasons Responsible.
Milwaukee has financed permanent
improvements, and yet for as long as
two years has not paid interest on the
bonds. James Barr, grey-haired Scots
man and secretary Of the board OF
estimates, who watches the nickels drift
into and out Of the city treasury, holds
two arrangements responsible:
First of ALL city money is in one
general fund There are no strings on
any dollars Milwaukee owns. 1t may
be spent for the health department,
Fairgrounds or any other city pur-
pose Only in the budget are depart
ments held to specific allotments, put
no debt has claims on any speclfc
dollar.
Bond Sale Delayed.
A permanent improvement may be
desired. Bonds are authorized and
printed. But when the time comes
to pay the contractor who effected the
Improvement there may be enough in
the general fund to meet the bill The
contractor gets his money from the
general fund, Barr explained, and not
until the fund is running short are
the improvement bonds sold. Mean
while the city has paid no interest
charges.
The second arrangement is provided
FOR by ths tax-readjuStment law, a
measure which assures ready cash In
the general fund. Each year Mil
vaukee collects a half-mill tax above
all budget requirements. AS these
funds accumulate, Barr explained, they
place one department after another or
a cash basis.

AS there was no partial score, this
was not a game contract, and when my
opening lead of the 10 Of spades was
permitted to win the trick I knew
something was wrong.
CulbertSon'S declaration of two no
trumpS after my partners spade bid
showed either two shoppers in spades
or one stop with all the aces and kings
that were not in sight.
LEM Points Out Error.
Had he held all the missing high
cards he would assuredly have bid up
to a game contract. If Jacoby had the
king, queen, jack of spades he would
doubtless have overtaken my 10. So,
with but two spades in dummy and
three trumps to ruff with, the obvious
hold-up fourth hand could mean only
one thing, and that was that Ely
thought he was playing no trumps.
When my partner got in trump on
the second round of diamonds, Ely
claimed the trick, and I pointed out
his error.
How did you know that thought
the declaration was no trumps?" ne
asked
Psychic reasoning" I replied.
Although the contract could have
been easily made. the inadvertence re-
suited in set of one trick, but at the
preferred declaration of three no
trumps the game could not have been
lost. But, of course, Culbertson was
not using the official system.
Bows Head in Shame.
In one of our sessions CulbertSon
pointed out to the press that my poor
bidding system was responsible for fail
ing to bid two small slams that I sue
ceeded in making. One of these slams
required a single finesse, which came
off nicely, so possibly his criticism was
well founded; but on the second one
well, look it over and ponder:

CoMDR. LIGGETT (soUTH)

Obviously, all that I needed to make
my contract Of six hearts was either the
favorable location of the ace or queen
OF clubs or the opening Of some other
suit than clubs. However, at the mo-
ment this hand was dealt, Fate was not
turning a smiling face in my direction
and so Mr.. LenZ, departing from the
precepts of whist days, elected to
make a typical Culbertson lead, the
nine of clubs.
Liggett won the first trick with the
queen, laid down the ace and returned
the third round Of his suit, permitting
Mr. LEM to trump and thus cash three
tricks before I even obtained the lead
Had card of any other suit been led,
instead of making 10 tricks, I could
not have made less than II and might
possibly have made 10.
The factor of luck in life is incalcula-
BILE The factor of luck on any individ-
ual hand may be great indeed. In life
there is no assurance that luck will
ever distribute its favors evenly, but
in dealing with cards and in all other
matters of blind chance, the memorable
laws work TO their inevitable end.

The Book Room Table

h IOISY at the book room table. Nothing out
of the ordinary there, however, nothing
except the new College Humor. a boisterous
chap who regularly declares his entrances quite
audibly. Beside him. just now. are two or
three newspapers of the Democratic conven-
tion date. And Humors spokesman, for the
moment, Frasier Hunt, is saying that Robert
Maynard Hutchins. president of Chicago Uni
versity is "a menace to every outworn, bed
ridden seventeenth century educational hang
over that still dominates so many American
university circles; feet inches tall and
built like varsity end with rather powerful
shoulders and long. capable hands that do
great many things. Deep-set black eyes. A
caustic, double-edged wit that the ordinary man
has business monkeying with. 1t is a
good thing for Bob Hutchins that he is living
in the sub-machine gun age of changing
America rather than in the blunderbuss period
Of the inquisition.
Think for moment of the educational
crimes that without half trying could be
proved against him: First. at 80 he had the
temerity to accept the presidency of the Uni
versity of Chicago-Wnen there were tens OF
thousands of experienced and at least some
what ambitious college graybeards. Second:
He didn't have even a Phi. D. degree and, ex-
cept for passing experience in the Yale Law
Third: He actually looked upon a university as
a living part of life rather than as isolated
and sacred hermitage"
And 50 this Frazier Hunt goes on by way of
The Humor quoting strange academic heresies
from this young head of the university. But,
by this time the papers standing by are tip
ping uneasiy upon their own toes. For they
want to talk, too, want to repeat some of the
sayings IN the convention of this outlaw pro-
feSsor among the learned. Actually set up
opinions upon government and law and politics.
He accused the elders Of causing the war;" Of
passing on to the younger generation the
wreckage OF that war" The conflict was bred
in stupidity, seIhshness" and concluded in
"rapacity." He asks for the promotion Of
peace through disarmament, with or without
the cooperation of other nations; for "ad-
herence to the World Court" for "a 20-year
moratorium on war debts to revive trade" .
sharp cuts in the cost of government" and
so on through the familiar list of demands
that are beginning to growl from the ground
upward toward the high places where authority
sits. That company of the book table was in
futter of glee. slightly remindful of the
excitement caused at the convention itself by
this young sprg of democracy and of enlight-
ened education. I think you would have been
interested in the to-do if you had seen and
heard it. I was.
