IS 1T THE CLIMATE?

INDICATIONS are that either Stanford
l or University of California will win
the annual |. c. A track meet at Cam
bridge, Massachusetts today, and sports
writers throughout the nation will un-
doubtedly credit the victory to Califor-
mia climate.
1t is not likely that there will be any
objection raised to this by Californians,
who are somewhat notorious in their
praise of this feature of life in the Gold
en- State.
The other states specializing in climate
propaganda may look at us in scorn II
we credit climate as the reason for su-
premacy in athletics but there must be
something to it.
College men in the east are Just as
good physically as the students IN our
own universities; they have the same ad-
vantage of excellent coaching and yet
California teams have been running away
with the |. c. 4-A. title for many years.
1t is the blue ribbon event in college
athletics and as such the honor is eager
" sought by those competing for their
various schools. Time was when the Big
Three-Yale, Harvard and Princeton
ruled the nation in track and field the
same as they did in football.
This day has passed and honors IN
both sports now find California up
'front.'
1t might we'll be argued that young
men who from infancy have been able to
be out of doors 365 days in the year have
an advantage over those who spend
considerable period of their lives dodg-
ing colds and numerous physical Ills.
If climate isn't the cause for athletic
supremacy what is?

MILK PRICES FIXED
BY TWO STATES
New York and New Jersey
Join in Experiment to Aid
Dairy Farmers.
BY the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated Press.
| ALBANY, N. Y, June New York
and New Jersey have joined forces In
an experiment designed to improve the
financial condition Of $4,000 Eastern
dairy farmers by controlling the price
OF milk The price-flxing test is being
watched with interest by the Nations
dairy industry.
While the New York Milk Control
Board studied first reports Of rising in
come on some Empire State dairy
farms, the New Jersey Milk Control
Board, was getting ready to enforce its
first schedule of minimum milk prices.
Prompted by Troubles.
Prompted by acute financial troubles
among dairy owners, Legislatures of
both States acted drastically this Spring
to increase the size of the farmers milk
check.
Fines, jail sentences and even loss of
the privilege of selling milk have been
threatened for dealers who fail to pay
the required minimum price to farmers.
New Jersey will require that farmers
NC ptlu db lSdSJ 0T2 CSIltS d uudAG 1OA
grade "a" milk and at last cents
weeks New York State has had similar
requirements.
Dairy owners in recent months have
been getting as low as / u cents a
quart, considerably below the cost of
production.
The minimum retail price for grade
"a" milk delivered to a consumers
doorstep in either State is 13 cents a
quart. Grade "B" delivered costs II
cents. In upstate New York the basic
price Is 10 cents. Dealers are required
to pass any benefit from these prices
back to the producers.
The Empire State already has given
one dealer the choice between a 5000
fine or loss of his selling license for a
violation of its orders.
Keeping in close touch with the milk
board in its brother State, the New Jer-
sey board has learned that some New
York farmers already have received
enough additional income to help to-
ward paying their monthly food bills"
Kenneth F. Fee, director of the New
York board, said he could make no gen.
eral estimate of the additional amount
producers are receiving, but when asked
whether the average farmer" might be
getting $3.50 or $40 month more" he
said: Probably $3.50 is better guess"
Earl Ladlaw, leading Northern New
York dairyman, said while the board
was not guaranteeing farmers enough
money to meet production costs, the in
crease will go long way to help us
pay our bills"
Milk Goes to City.
Most of the milk from the two
States flows into New York City. which
was found to be a center of vicious
trade practices and cut-throat COM
petition"
The boards heard numerous cases
in which farmers were unable to buy
sufficient food or pay for necessary
medical care. Some had become men
tally i'll from worry.
The milk boards were set up under
emergency laws. The New Jersey
body will function for two years. 1t
includes the State Secretary of Agri-
culture, the Secretary of Health and
dairymen's representative.
The New York board, created for
one year, includes the State Cort1mis-
sioners Of Agriculture and Health, and

commissioner. will deliver the initial
address. on Insurance Regulation" in
connection with the proposal in Con-
gress to place insurance under Federal
supervision and take control away from
the States. Discussion viii be led by
c. A. Cough, New Jersey commissioner.
Among problems to come before the
convention is the question Of emergency
regulations governing loan and cash
surrender privileges Of policy holders.
Emergency regulations restricting loan
and cash surrender values were adopted
here last March at a special meeting of
the commissioners.
It was debtatable, insurance men said.
whether the commissioners would con-
tinue the restrictions or modify them.

How Batik Is Made

In making batik, the design is first sketched on the cloth with a pencil then all the intricate portions which are to be protected from the first dye are car fully covered on both sides of the cloth with melted wax. This is done by hand. by means of a tiny spouted cup the size of a thimbie. By dyeing. removing the wax, rewaxing and redyeing several times. the piece of batik is finally made. It seems simple enough, but weeks. or perhaps months of patient labor go Into its making Some of the best cloth, worked in beautiful designs, is restricted to the use of royalty and the court dancers.

How Pipe Tobacco Is Made

Pipe tobacco is made by passing the dried leaf through cutting machine, stoving or banning 1t on hot metal plates, and then cooling 1t. It is then subjected to hydraulic pressure, which forms it into hard slabs. which are cut into bars. wrapped and again pressed. Most pipe tobacco contains portion of Perique or Latakia. the former grown in Louisiana and the latter in Asia Minor, both too strong to be used alone. Rolls or twists of tobacco are also prepared for pipe smoking. The leaf is spun into coils or ropes of uni form diameter. the rolls are baked for a few hours, and are then placed in strong presses. Olive oil may be added to the leaf if black product Is desired.

The question How big is a bridge?" is asked by "Wire Engineering" pub lication. and answered by the state ment: That depends on the meas. uring stick"
 Some say the Golden Gate bridge will be the biggest; others say the George Washington will still hold It's first place in suspension bridges. For the third place, the Ambassador and the Delaware compete, while for the fourth place, the Delaware, Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges are contest. ants.
 Bigness in suspension bridges, there fore, is a matter of the factors picked for the measuring.

HOW.

\ ANV ------------------------------ THE WORD "GERRYMANDER" STA RTED = ITS MEANING.-- A gerrymander (prOnounced with hard "g" Is an unnatural and un- fair division of state or county into election districts or other civil divisions for the purpose of giving the largest number of votes to the political party in power. Hostile voters are put into districts certain to go against the dominant party and friendly voters added to districts where the parties are equally di- vided.
 The name originated In Massachu- setts in 1872, while Elbridge Gerry was governor. Governor Gerry influ. enced the legislature to redistrict the state to insure victory in the next election. When the Democratic legislature finished with it's work. one district in Essex county resem- bled a dragon In outline. This was shown on a map of Massachusetts which Benjamin Russell. the Feder- alist editor of the Boston Sentinel. hung up In his office.
 The celebrated painter, Gilbert Stuart, coming Into the office one day and observing the queer shape of the Essex district, added with his pencil head, wings and claws and exclaimed: That will do for salamander Better say a Gerry mander," replied the editor. Thus the name was coined and soon came into general use.

Stewart Prosperity Increasing

While our own little burg continues to languish in the doldrums created by the de- pression and resultant decad- ence of silver mining, our Can adian neighbor, Stewart, B. C., is developing an increasing prosperity as result of recent mining developments in that locality and particularly to the reopening of the United Em- pire property, where some thirty-odd men are employed.
 Being situated virtually in Stewards back-y a r d, t h effects of the mine payroll are becoming increasingly appar- ent in the inflow of money to local business houses resulting from enlarged purchasing. Re- sumption of development at the Big Missouri will also tend to improve business conditions by increasing employment of local workers and providing considerable freighting busi- ness.
 The several leasing operat- ;ons at the Dunwell are also an important factor in aiding the communal prosperity.
