Talked on Skin Disease
 and Modern Therapy

In his talk on "skin Diseases and Modern Therapy" at the Y. M c. A. health forum last night, pr John Fruin handled a technical subject in an able and most inter- esting manner.
 He first spoke of the structure or three layers of the skin, includ- ing the blood vessels, nerves and glands and then many of the thousands of skin troubles man has been afflicted by. Among the more common are dry and oily dandruff, acme or pimples, eczema, ring worm, i the so-called seven years itch, poison ivy and warts.
 Treatment of skin diseases is done by. ointments, vaccines, ultra violet rays the electric needle, the x-ray, the. latter being the most effective but requiring the greatest knowledge in its application.

Connecticut Issues
 Poultry Bulletin
Shows State Now Leads New England in This Field
 Egg Business Down to Science

Hartford, Januray 19,-Connec- tieut, the leading poultry state in New England, has made available through its department of agricul- ture, the most complete poultry service bulletin ever published in any state. Sidney A. Edwards. di- rector of the bureau of markets, is the author of this eigthy page bull letin which is now offered to Con- necticut poultrymen to aid them in securing more complete informa- ton about their business.
 There are twenty chapters in the bulletin, each a complete story within itself, dealing with every subject from state laws to a com plete list of poultry journals. The first chapter of the bulletin takes up egg and poultry ligislation cov- ering all the laws affecting the in- dustry whether enforced by the department of agriculture, the commissioner on domestic animals or the dairy and food commis- sioner

Connecticut has established six voluntary grades under which eggs may be sold. These grades are described in the second chapter which also gives the rules and reg ulations governing the sals of graded eggs. In addition, this chapter gives an actual grading table for one year showing the average poultryman what percen- tage of his eggs will normally fit into the different Connecticut grades.
 Entirely too few people under stand the conditions and factors which may affect the quality of an egg. For that reason considerable space has been devoted to a care full presentation of the facts per taining to egg structure and com position. A careful study of chap ters three and four will give the poultryman a better understanding of how to handle eggs, which are a highly perishable food product, ,o that they will reach the con-

He may treat the card ed in error as exposed,

Missouri Athletic Association Every week
there is play. Besides mems and women's pair
events and mems and women'S team-of-four
contests, there are a 'Mr. and Mrs" men VS..

most slams, and par hands competition" to
determine who will do best on certain set
up hands.

Sofvmg the Weather Mystery

cestor primitive man. And the interest Of
science in the question of drought, has
modern aspect when it is appreciated that the
complete climatic cycles that have endured
for many ages has average duration of
some $40 years. Three hundred years of this
period is usually of increasing aridity, which
has not been without effect on nomad peoples.
In THE Dawn of History by Prof Myres
of oxford University, the author explains the
reasons for the shifting of the peoples in that
vast tract of land known as Arabia. He says:
1.-THE Arabian desert is one of the earth's
greatest reservoirs of men. Much of it
is usually uninhabitable; but its surface, gently
sloping eastward until it dips in the Persian
Gulf is much more diversified than the Libyan
desert by hollows which are moist enough for
grass. :. When the supply of moisture is
at it's maximum, Arabia can breed and sup
port vast masses of pastoral folk, each with
its wealth of sheep and goats But If
moisture fails, there seems reason to believe
that it does from time to time in large pull
sations of climatic change, man and his hocks
must either escape or perish
Which brings our scientists back to their
speculations regarding the present variations
in weather all over the world. Five hundred
years have passed since the Renaissance ush-
cred in the present age, and while the geo.
graphic and historical evidence in regard to
the existence of 640-year cycle is thought
by j. c. Curry to be incomplete in respect to
its cause, it appears to have been clearly
marked as regards the alternating periods OF
migration and consolidation of ancient peoples.
Since the migration of the Mongol period
conditions have been settled, he states, for
nearly 600 years 1t is therefore of some
interest to reflect that in spite of radio, Of
aeronautics and of other ultra-modern inno-
vations, we find that the same forces that
transformed civilization in the past are pos
sible today.
Certainly knowledge of the causes of these
great climatic changes may prove Of the
greatest value. For, with the recent discov-
cry that there is relation between the mon
soon of India and rainfall in Africa and in
South America, it is felt that conditions that
are powerful enough to cause drought in Asia
may well be international well as local in
radius And the proposed attack of these %
nations upon this common problem OF weather
may prove to be of the most vital as well
as one of the most interesting of the studies
to be made on any subject, if it answers even
one of these climatic problems.

lion tanner who got hold of the animals tail
and was afraid to let go for fear that the lion

hand which would have defeated the declarer's
contract if she played it on the first round of
the suit. Doing so, however, apparently would
have set up a queen for declarer an entry
into dummy. So she held on, playing a low
card instead. After declarer had made his
contract her partner asked her why she hadn't

from that of ancient times, although there
remain traces of two families of the
heaths that are said to be relics OF the Ice Age
and which can be located in certain isolated
spots in the North Carolina Mountains. The

In and around the city of Washington in those

in fossil remains. Thus we can see that these
few links that remain of a far-away age have
a bearing and an interest in our present study

Wv while these tremendous changes in cli-
mate and in the possible shifting of the con-
tinents as according to the Wegener theory,
may well have occurred in the dim ages of the
past it was something that was entirely out
lawed by the modern world of developments.
Wegener's idea, in BRIEF was that there was
a migration of continental masses relative to
each other And that such masses spread out,
away from each other to their present loca-
ton, so that South America may have been
up nearer to Africa, and so There is a
very definite trace of such a former big land
area off Canada in the present Pacific Ocean,
and we know that in the Behring Sea is a very
great deep, one of the greatest of known "deeps"
in the world.
All through history grasses have been one
of the most vital needs of man. This was
recently referred to by DR.. Morris Halperin
a scientist connected with the University of
California, who stated that throughout the
entire history of man, this fact was made
evident in all ages and on all continents To-
day, we use grasses for our supply of bread
stuffs, and most of the meat and sugar con-
sumed by man is furnished by grasses. Wheat,
rice, millet, beans and barley, to name only
a few, are used not merely for food, but also
play a part in building materials, and the
greatest portion of the dry land of the sur
face of the earth is occupied by grasses.
Thus civilized man is almost as dependant
for food upon these grasses as was his an

Pest Rides Failing Fruit

THE Goblin moth, of the most serioAss,
! if not the most serious insect pest attack
ing fruit has a fine labor-saving sort of tech
nique about its destructive work.
The moth lays the eggs in the middle OF
the blossom and, after the larvae hatch, they
eat their way into the center of the fruit.
This action hastens the fall of the fruit and,
when this occurs, the larva finds itself on
the ground where it wants to be. Tunneling
in the ground, it remains there for a period.
and then makes its way back to the tree,
where it spins its cocoon beneath the oveI
tapping edges of the bark.
