PERSONALITIES
By Nellie DOdsOn

u
waited for class to take up. Among
the parade of students coming up
the walk, I saw a gel who was in
an English Literature course with
me in winter quarter, and so hol-
Tered to her and she stopped just
below where 1 was and we ex-
changed some long-distance CONVEX
sation. (Quite common occur
renee these spring days when
everyone has yen to stick his or
her head out of window and greet
the whole worldly
"Say," SEE /, "what did the old
boy give you in Lit. last quarter?"
She wrinkled up her nose and
hollered back: 81 only got a &C.
from him. What did you get?"
"Same thing! He's so darn
stingy with marks that it's a
shame!" hollers I back at her.
cts no use trying to get a de-
cent mark from himw she shouts.
''Nope, I didn't even study!" I
SEE.
And so we signed off, and
turned around from the window to
go to my seat. Imagine my en-
barrassment when I found class
had assembled, and students as
well as the instructor had over
heard my smarty-alec whooping
out of the winow!
"Well, Miss Dodson," SEE the
prof, eff you're through talking,
class will begin" Boyoboy, was my
face red!
Here and There: "Pug" Lund
has had more trouble with that
new Ford which was given to him
by the Northwest Ford dealers. He
has had the license plates stolen,
and has run into something-or-
other and smashed things up bit.
Wonder what'll happen next?
Stan Kostka was driving around
the campus in neat-looking grey
gasoline buggy last week. I've
heard from three sources in the
past few days that some of the
too-terrible acts on that big Sum
day mite amateur hour over NBC
are bogus. In other words, some
of them are deliberate "plants" to
amuse listeners. I've been wonder
ing how few could have been so
lousy. -. Charles Holley is wear
ing one of the new collegiate an
CORA sweaters. Norman Light
comes out in some of the neatest
shirt-and-tie combinations. While
one of the most well-known of the
men-about-town always wears
shirt-and-tie combinations which
look slightly wilted. I detest that
sort of thing in supposedly we'll
dressed male. +. That white Iowa
City fraternity house which was
closed because the men were ac-
cused of having wimmin in their
rooms got put on the spot for do
ing what is secretly being carried
on in some Greek letter houses all
over the country. Sophisticated
college life isn't as morally uplift-
ing as lot of people think. In
the case of that Iowa house, some
body must have done too much
talking. /. A little over a year
ago in Minneapolis, there wasn't
any vaudeville at all, and now the
town has four theatres which are
presenting stage acts. The Or
pheum maintains the most consis-
tently high standard, though.
Rolly, the blonde piano player in
the State theatre band, used to be
with Emmett Longs bunch at the
Shubert, or else it was two other
guys. Anyhow, he is getting too
fat. Nick Lucas voice is only
former echo of what it used to
be. And it sounds to me like Bing
Crosby's warbhng is slipping.
Geo. Dewey Washington's nose dive
from the peak looks like perma-
nent affair. Nina Mae McKin-
ney is in the new Jean Harlow pic
krrr.n Nno.l-ln.

Old Dobbin Still
Useful on Farm
Twenty Thousand Horses
Will Be Needed in New
York, This Year.

College OF Agricuiture-WNU Service.
Despite cogs, wheels, pulleys, and
other evidences Of the machine age,
the demand for oil Dobbin remains
steady. In the spring Of 1884, 10000
work horses were in demand on New
York farms. The demand promises to
be greater, and the supply less next
spring.
New York farmers now have about
100000 horses. Since the average work
ing life of horse Is about fifteen
years. about 10000 horses will pass
the age of usefulness within one year
and a like number will be needed as
requirements. To meet this demand,
less than 5000 home-bred colts are
coming into the working age. and farm
ers in the Empire state must look to
other states to buy about 1900 horses.
The United States has about 17,OOO,OOO
horses and mules. Requirements call
for more than 1,O0O,OO0 colts of work
ing age, but only one-half of this num-
Der can be had.
Because of the small supply, prices
are high and will be still higher before
enough horses can be raised to meet
the constant demand. Some farmers
can raise horses needed for replace
ments.

Legumes Check Nitrogen
Loss in the Corn Crops

Although Illinois corn crop this year
was the smallest in 81 years, it re-
moved so much nitrogen from the soil
that 1t would take more than q mil
lion dollars worth of nitrate of SODA
to replace it, according to f. 81. Crane.
assistant chief in soil fertility at the
college of agriculture, University of
Illinois. For every rs bushels Of corn
that are taken off the land, a quarter
of ton Of nitrate of soda costing
around $40 would be needed to put
back the nitrogen that had been re-
moved. The past years corn crop is
estimated at 160,816,OO0 bushels.
Fortunately, farmers do not have to
buy this 21 million dollars worth of
nitrate Of soda, for they can replace
the lost nitrogen cheaply through the
use of legumes for soil improvement
or for feed crops, provided the manure
is taken care of in the latter case,
Mr.. Crane pointed out.
In fact, the economic solution of
many problems of soil management de-
ponds almost wholly on making full
and proper use of the assistance plants
can give, he explained.

Making Concrete Block

good quality concrete block can
be made of mixture Of one part &C.
ment to two and halc parts of sand
and three parts crushed stone or
screened pebbles not over three-quar-
ter inch in diameter. To make cubic
yard of finished concrete of this mix
ture will take six and a half sacks of
cement, three-fifths of cubic yard of
sand and three-quarter cubic yard
of crushed stone OF pebbles. This
amount of concrete will make some
what over 60 blocks by 16 inches with
air spaces amounting 70 33 per cent
of the total volume. Bank run gravel
should not be used for concrete blocks
unless it is known to contain the cor
rect proportions Of sand and pebbles
for concrete of maximum density.

Sorghum Seed Used as
Feed With Other Grain

Sweet sorghum seed contains consid-
cradle tannin which makes it astrin-
gent. Its feeding value IL only about
two-thirds as much per pound as seed
from the grain sorghums like kafir,
milo maize and feterita 1t can be
fed to live stock as part Of other
grain mixtures. In three trials at the
Kansas experiment station, says re-
port, pigs fed ground sorghum seed
with protein rich supplement gain 1.2
pounds daily, compared with 1.6 pounds
for pigs fed ground corn in place of
sorghum and 1.49 pounds for others
fed on ground kafir. LII these trials
ground sorghum was worth only 63 per
cent as much per 100 pounds as ground
corn and only 70 per cent as much
as ground kafir.

Leads in Raising Goats

The West has been interested in
the raising of goats for some time.
California leads with the most goats !;
Texas is second. It is claimed that
six goats may be maintained for the
same cost as it takes to care for and
feed one COW. A goat does not need
much space and likes to browse among
brush, weeds, leaves, twigs and bark.
Goats are not the solution of what to
do with ones old razor blades and tin
cans. However, they do eat the paper
from tin cans. They like paper, as it
supplies fiber for them. Their feed is
very much like that of COW, consist
ing Of alfalfa, hay, barley, bran and
silage.

Longview - Two tons of smelt
have been canned by the United Pro-
ducers' league at the Evans cannery
here during the past four days. The
pack totals 800 cans. About half of
the smelt was smoked and the re-
mainder was packed in the cans with
mustard sauce flavoring added and
the cans then steam cooked.
Spokane Several Spokane per-
sons were highly pleased to find
their telephone and electric light
bills had been paid by stranger
but: John Glass, 80, hit upon the
method of cashing rubber checks by
paying other peoples bills and pock-
citing the change. He passed nine
checks for a profit of $235, accord
ing to the county prosecutor.
Prosser-Seeking an allotment of
$4,000 VERA funds for construc-
ton and equipment, landowners in
the Allard-Vernita vicinity have
doubled their efforts to develop
new irrigation district. The district,
to be known as the Riverland Irri-
cation district, will have 1000 acres.
1t is said that all the property own
ers in the proposed area had signed
the petition, now before the county
commissioners.
Winlock-When Waino Alko was
taken to the St. Helens hospital at
Chehalis for an operation for what
had been diagnosed as appendicitis
the attending surgeon was greatly
puzzled by the fact that he complain
ed of intense pain on the left side.
Not until an incision was made, how
ever, was it revealed that his ap-
pendix was opposite from where it
was supposed to be. Alko is recov-
ering from the operation.

TAKES RAP AT
DARWIN THEORY
New Idea Put Forward as to
Descent Of Man.

Probably no biologist doubts the
validity Of evolution. On the other
hand. natural selection and the sur
vival of the fittest, the very core Of
Darwin's theory, are no longer ac-
cepted as the sole agencies at work
In the creation of new species and
varieties. Since the days Of Mendel
1t has become apparent that the me-
chanism Of heredity is both delicate
and complex. Moreover, there are
the endocrine glands, with their ire
mendous potentialities for modifying
the organism. Lastly, the relation
iOf that organism to its environment
is not nearly so direct and simple as
Darwin assumed. How the more
Imaginative biologists think about
evolution and especially the problem
of mans descent is well exemplified
by "rhe Coming of Man." a recently
published book In which DR.. r.
Broom, an English authority on
amphibians, sets forth his own n.y.
pothesis.
It Is generally agreed that life first
fdeveloped in the sea. How, then,
ibid the first amphibian evolve7
What was the bold animal that first
yentured on land and adapted itself
wholly or partially to life under en-
terly new circumstances? When we
ask such questions it is apparent
that natural selection and the sur
vival Of the fittest do not meet the
case.
Doctor Brown holds that physical
structure, courage, pugnacity, eff
cheney were not solely responsible
for the transition. There was some
thing unstable about the first adven-
turer that came out of the sea. He
was like an unstable chemical COM
pound that changes into something
else-s0mething out of which q rep

Shelter for Live Stock

With shortage Of feed facing farm
ers in many parts Of the country the
need to provide animals with shelter
against the cold Of winter becomes
more necessary than usual. 1t is nec-
essary not only because it will add to
the thriftiness of all live stock and
lessen the chances Of loss, but also be-
cause 1t decreases the amount Of feed
necessary. Animals exposed to the
wet and cold are forced to draw on
their own body fat for energy and this
fat must then be replaced by feed.

Discovery May Lead to
Victory Over Cancer

The growth of the human infant,
the chick in the egg, bacteria and the
toad can all be represented by the
same mathematical equation. DR..
Norman G. Wetzel, associate Fro
fessor Of pediatrlcs at Western Re
serve UniversityMedical school, told
the National Academy of Sciences.
Proper Interpretation of this math-
ematical equation Of growth, Doctor
Wetzel said, eventually might lead
to conquest Of cancer, since cancer
was growth problem-a situation In
which body cells grew without re-
straint. The equation, which is what
mathematician call a second de-
gree differential, represents the re-
latfon between heat production and
growth. he added.
Four factors, he found, were In
volved In growth. One encourages
growth, a second retards or inhibits
growth, the third Is the net external
work Of growth. He calls the fourth
the "coefiicient of inertia growth"
In cancer, Doctor Wetzel said, It was
evident that the factor which retard-
ed growth was not operating.
He urged that medical science en-
bark on a study Of the influence Of
various hormones, v1tamins and the
like. with a view to fitting them Into
their proper places in the equation
of growth. David Dietz, Scripps-
Howard Science Editor, In the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

tile could evolve, something that was
the result OF a crisis.
Examine G.. the other animals, and
the transition from an old to new
er form seems always to be the re-
suit Of critical instability. Despite
the convincing array of fossils that
shows plainly enough how the one
toed horse of today evolved from an
ancient, five-toed equine animal not
much bigger than st. Bernard dog,
the jumps are marked. Between
five toes and four toes there is no
gradual transition, nothing like a
digital diminuendo.
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1935-03-15

Crisis, everywhere crisis, whether
1t be fish or amphibian, reptile or
mammal. With man it is the same
one of the most unstable creatures
ever evolved. In a state Of some
thing like fermentation, he has al
ways been in a critical turmoil. I'm
like the ant or the bee, he is not
highly specialized. If he ever does
settle down, his history will be like
that of most social creatures-a rep
etition over hundreds Of millions of
years Of the same biological events
and facts. He will cease to evolve.
