Several newly developed devices
for study of the upper atmosphere
will be tried out next week in a
test balloon flight to the Sub
stratoSphere," $4,000 feet above
tha earth, the National Geographic
Society announced here today.
If the instruments perform salts
factority, they will be taken along
when the Explorer II, Army Air
Corps balloon, leaves the Black
Hills of South Dakota next June
in an effort to climb II miles into
the shakespeare.
Next weeks test flight will be
made from Scott Field, Illinois, in
a balloon of 10000 cubic foot
capacity, inflated with helium.
The new devices, developed by DR..
o. H. GiSh of the Department Of
Terrestrial magnetism Of tie
Carnegie Institution here, include
a machine that looks like a three
foot length of stovepipe for meas
uring the electrical conductoVity
of the atmosphere at high altt-
tudes, and four electrically oper-
ated thermometers for recording
the super heat" that will develop
in helium at the various levels.

HOWE REMOVES
OXYGEN TENT
TWICE DAILY

Col. Louis McHenry Howe, the
Presidents secretary, who has
been critically i'll in his room at
the White House for two months,
is at a stage in his unprecedented
recovery where he can be taken
out of his oxygen tent for two
45-minute periods a day, for d
smoke and other light relaxationS.
Navy physicians who are attend
ing him, although expecting him
to recover, believe he will be an
invalid for an indefinite perioo.
The case of Col. Howe bids
fair to be one of the freaks Of
medical history. He has been a
sufferer from asthma for many
years and caught a severe cold
more than two months ago, fol-
lowing which he had a severe
heart attack, coupled with pneu-
monia in one lung. He was so
weak a month ago that the
White House Correspondents AS
ISOLATION changed the date OF
their dinner to the President from
March 81 to April 81.
Colonel Howe was not expected
to live; his heart stopped beating
at least twice and the end was
looked for. He was unconscious
nearly all the time.
Suddenly he grew better, under
the care of Naval physicians who
kept him in a go per cent con-
centration of oxygen. He rallied
so much that President Roose-
welt felt he could take a Today
rest in Florida; and since that
time Colonel Howe has been on
the mend, but is still spending
all his time, except two brief
daily periods, in an oxygen tent.
The physicians have been bcf-
fled by his recovery, which they
say is against all previous ex-
perience in a man suffering so
many serious complications and
falling to so low an ebb of
vitality.

lie farmer has to receive diff
ferent prices for his milk.
he receives his highest price
for milk sold in a bottle.
This price generally ranges from
4 to 7 cents a quart ; in Wash
ington it is 7 cents plus a
quart.
The farmer receives lower prices
for the rest of his milk that
the public doesn't use in bot
ties, depending upon the SELL
ing price of the products into
which it is made.
Butter is an object lesson in the
rule of price. It takes about
1917 quarts of milk to make
a pound. With butter retail
ing at 40 cents, say, the price
of a quart of milk used for
butter is obviously limited.
What the farmer gets is not
what the milkman might like
to pay. It all rests with the
public what people are
willing to pay for butter, for
cheese and other milk prod
ucts.
The costs of raw materials can
not be more than the final
selling price of any product.
This is a law of business the
centuries have not changed.
Scientists may question the
law of gravity a straight
line may become q curve
but 6 cents of cost and a five
cent selling price won't keep
a business going.
The milkman enjoys no immu-
nifty to the laws Of economics.
Income must exceed outgo or he
ceases to be liquid.
No business that pays out more
than it takes in will long be in
position to pay anything, to
serve anybody.
The milhman must know arith-
metic as well as milk.

Gov. Eugene Talmadge yesterday

The Georgia anti-New Deal gov

on an unconstitutional and illegal
penalty act" =,

to work for a living" Talmadge
commented.
His letter to the President point
ed out that farmers still are being
charged with processing taxes de-
spite scores of federal court decl-
sions temporarilynenjeining their
collection, and suggested that Mr..
Roosevelt stop the grave injus-
tice" by exercising his authority

In the meantime, Talmadge adj
vised farmers to protect them
selves by holding their cotton and
not ginning it until final court &C
ton is obtained on the processing

81 believe that the policies OF
the AAA and the processing taxes
are a direct violation of the con-
stitution of the United States" re
said, adding:
eff you collect money on an un-
constitutional act, it is the same
as stealing, because it is taxing
the money illegally"
Textile manufacturers and meat
hackers have secured numerous
temporary injunctions against the

Talmadge himself, suing as a cot

Miami S Ministers
Charge Inquiry In
Storm Whitewash
But Report To Sholtz Is
Same AS That Made
To President

MIAMI, Sept. 12.-UP)-The
Greater Miami Ministerial associ-
alton yesterday demanded further
investigation of why the Florida
Keys were not evacuated before
the Labor day hurricane smashed
more than 500 persons to'death
there.
The association branded re-
ports to President Roosevelt that
no human agency was to blame
for fatal delay in efforts to res
cue World War veterans working
in FERA camps on the Keys as
"a deliberate attempt to white
wash known facts"
The president was asked to
name a new investigating commit.
tee to make further impartial
inquiry into conditions before,
during and after the-hurricane."
Aubrey ! Williams, assistant
FERA administrator, and Colonel
George E. .1Jsms, assistant veter-
ms administrator, reported to
Mr.. Roosevelt Sunday night that
preliminary investigation con-
WINGED them the catastrophe was
IAN act of God" :,
Williams and Ijams concluded
that upon the basis Of weather
bureau warnings there was no
Equitable delay" in dispatch OF
an evacuation train to the tERA
camps. The train left Miami late
Labor day afternoon and was
wrecked in the already raging
hurricane at ,Islamorada. More
than 800 of the estimated 500
death toll were veterans trapped
in the FERA camps.
A similar report was made to
Governor Dave Sholtz by States
Attorney G. A. Worley. Details
of the states probe will not be
made public until it is presented
to President Roosevelt, Governor
Sholtz said. -.
The ministerial Association
charged the investigation cOnclu.
sions reported by, Williams and
Ijams were an attempt "to ignore
the inefficiency and irresponsible
lily of those in charge"
