 Tests To Begin Soon
Move Being Made in Conjunction With the Statewide Plan to Counteract Tuberculosis Spread-Gram-
 mar and High School Pupils to Be Examined

It has been found that by talk ing X-ray pictures of the chest the presence of tuberculosis is easily discovered. In cases where posi- tive symptoms are found Dr Hem nessey will, 1t is expected, private ly inform the students parents.

The use of the X-ray for such work was dis cussed at length at a medical con- ference In Torrington last week and its use in the schools was strongly urged

Flatiron Aid
To Scientists

PASADENA, Cal, Jan. %. UP
n housewives flatiron, photograph
ed in a pitch-dark room, has given
science further proof Of Kirck-
hoffs law which holds that a sur
face which absorbs much radiant
energy makes a good conductor.
And through this proof. aStron-
Cmcrs have been able to photo
graph far distant stars which pre-
viously had been undetected, even
through the most powerful tels-
scope.
The flatiron was photographed
on a supersensitive infra-red plate
by II. d. Babcock, astrophysicist at
Nit. Wilson observatory. The iron
slightly warmed, was reproduced in
detail on the plate.
Previously, an aviator flying over
South America had given visual
proof that the earth is round, by
photoghaphing the distant Andei
Mountains. which, were not visible
TO the naked eye.
Through this minor discovery
scientists now can calculate the
curvature of the earth.
When DR.. Babcock made his flat
iron experiment, he placed three
jnkspots on its smooth surface
The ink was such a good conductor
Of the heat within that the spot,

PROTEST GUT
IN PEA TARIFF

Protesting so per cent reduc-
ion of the tariff on green peas
grown in Mexico, a telegram was
sent by the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce to Phil D. Swing last
Saturday urging that he, toge-
Their with other members of the
California delegation in congress,
Join in protesting any reduction in
this tariff.
1t is understood locally that the
tariff is sought by Mexican inter-
ests which are at present consult
ing with the tariff commission in
Washington. If this tariff were
reduced it would mean that the
American markets would be flood
ed with peas grown in Mexico on
cheap lands, and by cheap Mexican
labor, AS a result these Mexican
peas could be sold at a price far
below those produced in the Uni
ted States, where lands are more
costly and labor is higher.
In protesting this reduced tar
iff, Robert Hays, manager of the
El Centro Chamber, pointed out
that green peas are now one of I'M
perial Valleys principal crops and
that their production is annually
becoming more importast to Cali
fornia as a whole. Local peas would
come into direct competition with
those grown in Mexico and the re-
suit, with a lower tariff and lower
cost of production in Mexico, would
be disastrous for local pea grow
ers.
In addition to tle objection
made by the Ell Centro Chamber,
protests have been made by the
Calipatria Pea Growers Protective
association of Imperial Valley and
the Imperial County Farm Bureau,
and it is expected that northern
communities interested in pea pro-
duction, as we'll as other chambers
of commerce of the state, will take
immediate action to assist in see
ing that the present tariff on Mex
ican peas is maintained.
