This priceless soil layer, on which
all of the worlds land vegetation and
land animals are dependent. is nothing
more than broken up bits of rock into
which the decayed remains of vege-
table and animal forms have been
mixed. Chemically, there are three
broad types of soil: alkaline, neutral.

their physical characteristics, how

CHOOSE HERD SIRE

Highly Important Factor in
Milk Production.

Milk production is what is known
as cumulative quality; that is II de

character. For this reason II Is more
difficult to hold the quality of high
production and at the same time get
high quality (butterfat) than 1t is to
retain single quality, like. color. 1t
Is therefore very important that heavy
milk production should be a DOM
inant character in both the dam and
the sire. Strange as ii may at first ap-
pear. the male line seems TO have more
influence in stamping high milk pro-
duction on the progeny than does the
female. This means that extra care
should be exercised in selecting sire
to head a purebred herd. The chief
reason given by dairymen for changing
sires once in five or six years is that
most breeders do not care to use

bulls are too expensive proposition.

Due to Plant Growth Pecu-
liar to Certain Areas.

Washington.-"The character of the
soil-the few inches or few feet of
ground that form the outer skin of
the earth-has very largely nodded the
wav of life of millions of people
throughout the world" says a bulletin
from the National Geographic society.

temperature. are important in plant
growth" continues the bulletin, "but
the fundamental factor is the soil it.
self, the medium in which roots can
anchor themselves, and from which
they can draw their food supplies.
"The great loess region of north
China is striking example of the
effect of soil on customs. This light
loan, deposited by the wind. is easily
drained, and none too well supplied
with moisture. 1t dictates the growth
of wheat and other hardy grains in
stead of rice. The northern Chinese,
therefore, are non-rice eating folk.
Their dry soil also DEGREES the rails
ing of live stock; so it is here that
China has its greatest concentration
of sheep and cattle.
Flood Irrigation.
"The lower Yangtze valley forms a
marked contrast to the loess region.
With its basins of rich alluvial soil.
which responds well to wet culture,
it is the center of China's rice produc-
ton. In this region the soil condition
has brought about dependence almost
exclusively on rice as a vegetable food,
the practice of flood irrigation, and
the raising of poultry rather than
large farm animals.
I'm the United States the great
corn belt near the center of the coun-
try has been marked out by deep,
easily-penetrated soil, although tenn
perature and moisture conditions also
are important factors in making this
the greatest maiZe-prOducing region of
the world. Corn is an excellent food
for animals. 1t is largely because of
its soil and temperature, therefore, that
this region has become the great cat
tle-fattening and hOg-raising section
of the United States.
Two of mans chief luXuries, tObac-
co and wine, are more strongly af-
fected by soil differences than almost
any other agricultural products. In
the United States cigar leaf tobacco
is grown best on certain soils of the
Connecticut valley, New York, Pennsyl-
vania. Ohio, and Wisconsin. The Bur-
ley types grow on the. bluegrass soils
of Kentucky and adjoining states to
the north; and the bright tObaccos,
used in cigarettes. on the light soils
of the Carolinas and nearby Virginia.
"The most famous Cuban tobacco
which has at times sold as high as
$40 pound. can be grown only on
soil in about % square miles. Two

1t is very important to treat your
skin while reducing, as it needs special
care in order to avoid flabbiness or
drawn, haggard look. Quite some time
ago l had group of women expert
ment with treatment which proved
highly successful. First the skin was
thoroughly cleansed. Then a nourish-
ing cream applied-a rich, oily emol-
lfent-and without removing this
cream a quite strong astringent pat
ted over face and neck. The astrin-
gent penetrated and frightened while
the emollient nourished and softened,
thus avoiding any drying effect. Such
treatment will keep the skin smooth,
the muscles taut' and the contour firm.

me warn you not to reduce too fast
lest it takes its toll from the skin-to
say nothing of it's detrimental effect
on general health.

to remove them would very likely be
injurious to the surrounding skin. Try

cream, allowing the cream to remain
for five or ten minutes. A stronger
bleach can be made with pumice pow

paste. Apply over the freckles, allow
to dry, remove with cloth moistened
with cool water and follow with the
nourishing cream.

Three Sides to Your Face


THERE may be two sides to every
L other vital issue, but there are
three sides to your face No doubt
you are familiar with the full-face re-
Election you usually see in your mirror.
But do you intimately know the right
profile-and the left? If you do, then
you know also that each differs rather
radically from the other.
Precious few faces are perfectly
balanced. And no matter, for slight
asymmetry is said to indicate in
terest and versatility. But, pro-
nounced lack of balance can by
careful study, adjustment of make
up and couture be minimized.
An elaborate study of the three
sides of your face" will tell you why
the triple mirror is so necessary and
so valuable to every beauty-loving
woman. The full-face view, which
is the one we ourselves are most ia
miliar with, is usually the kindest of
the three. But others see the two 9TH
er sides. So let us study ourselves
and see ourselves as others see US and
strive to make each of the three pic
lures a very perfect one.
Buying a new hat-and new, thrill
ing experience each should be-shOuld
mean a very careful study in front of
a triple mirror. Your own experience
can teach you more than any beau
&c fn
itself. You can suddenly discover that
a little asymmetrical turn or twist on
one side and a different treatment on
the other will serve to enhance each
profile view, without in the least de-
tracing from the full-face picture.
That is precisely why the tri-cOrnered
hats with the third corner placed
here, there and everywhere were be-
coming to so many women. Don't
choose a hat because II gives the wax
manneQuin an intriguing air. How
does it fit your face? And how does
it enhance every one Of the three
views?
That subtle art-the application of
makeup-should also provide food for
study. with the triple mirror as your
constant helpmate. Vanity? Indeed
not. Precision and perfection TO an
exacting degree is what you are striv-
ing for. Scrutinize your makeup from
all three views. The profile usually
tells the truth. And often rouge placed
a wee bit differently on one cheek
almost imperceptibly so. or course,
bit higher or lower or extending out
ward a little more-will give the face
more balance and more beauty.
This applies, of course, to your Golf
fure, too. And this is the reason for
the introduction of so much swirling
and Inhalation and the unbalanced
hair arrangements.

The Washington times., 1932-07-19

A ny action on the part Of
"A the recent Allies in Eu-
rope wh C h means the
abandonment of the utterly
mad and inhuman idea of
trying to collect the whole
of the reparations demanded
of Germany marks an ad-
vance toward sanity. No
sane person ever thought
such reparations could be
collected, and no just man
ever thought they should
be.
It is unfortunate that the
action Of these nations
should have been so con-
fused by expressions of
European statesmen as to
create the impression that
one of the purposes is to
attempt to intimidate the
United States into paying
the reparations in an in
direct way.
The denialS from Euro
pean statesmen have failed
to quiet the proper resent
ment here because they have
been contradictory; and
there has been a disposition
to assume that Chamberlain
was not deliberately misrep-
resenting when he told the
Commons that the United
States had been consulted.
We now have a denial of
this from Mr.. Hoover, who
announces, in a letter to
Senator Borah, that we were
not consulted, and that he
does "not propose that the
American people shall be
pressed into any line of ac-
ton or that our policies shall
be in any way influenced
by such a combination,
either open or implied. "
He might have added that
Congress, backed by over
whelming American sentl-
ment, has declared unequlv-
ocably against any further
reduction of the debts to us
by the transferring of the
obligation to pay from the
nations that borrowed the
money and used it for their
own purposes to the Amerl-
