TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ.

A RESEARCH laboratory devoted
IA entirely to the study of the
soybean has been opened at Urbana.
Ill, by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in cooperation
with IL states of the North Central
region. The cooperating states are
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota. Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas, Missouri, North
Dakota and South Dakota.
Amazing increase in the produc-
ton of soybeans during the last few
years is given by government off,
Gals as the reason for the new
laboratory, Acreage devoted to the
bean has risen from 100000 acres
in 1924 to nearly 100000 in 1885.
In 1885, 100000 bushels of soy
beans were produced. Last years
crop totaled AZ, 900, 900 bushels.
Increased demand for the beans
for food, animal feed and industrial
uses coupled with the beans i'm
munity to chinch bugs and other
pests are the chief reasons for the
increase. The beans are also drought
resistant.
The laboratory will be under the
direction of DR.. o. E. Nay of the
United States Bureau of Chemistry
and Soils. Breeding work will be
directed by w. j. Morse of the
United States Bureau of Plant In
dustry.
Much of the credit for the pres
ent position of the soybean as a
major American crop belongs to
Mr.. Morse, who, a few years ago,
spent two years in the Orient in
a successful hunt for better varie-
ties of soybean than those then
known in this country.
Soybeans are used today in the
manufacture of many industrial
products including paint, enamel,
varnish. glue, printing ink, rubber
substitutes, linoleums. insecticides,
and plaStics.

vows milk, generally, has been
~ found to agree with the tastes
and stomachs of most persons. But
cases sometimes turn up in which
child, or an older person, can not
tolerate the fluid.
For these some substitute must
be found, one as nearly equal as
possible to cows milk in food value.
One of these substitutes is goats
milk. Both have been found quite
satisfactory for invalid and infant.
Goats milk, when properly pro-
duced, is an exceedingly valuable
food. For many years, it was be-
lieved that the milk of the goat
was superior to that of the. COW,
as an infants food. This idea prob
ably sprang from the fact that there
was less tuberculosis among goats
than among cows.
But it is reasonable TO believe
that, If goats were herded to-
gether in stables as cows have been,
tuberculosis would spread among
them to about the same extent that
it appears among cows. Further
more, the goat suffers more fire.

quently with malta, or undulent, fe-
yer than does the COW.
VOU should remember that goats
Il milk is not a, medicine, but a
food. Goats milk tends to form
a slightly firmer .coagulun, or solid,
than does cows milk. In proportion
to its body weight, the goat pro-
duces about twice as much milk as
does the COW.
Many persons dislike the taste of
goats milk, but there is no reason
for a bad taste if the proper pre-
cautions are taken in milking.
Soy bean milk, as its name indi-
Gates, is a product prepared from
the soy bean. 1t seems to be a sat-
isfactory food in the diet of in
valids. 1t can be furnished at a
reasonable price and is gaining i'm
portance in nutrition in this coun-
try.
The soy bean, dried, provides 71z
per cent water, SO per cent protein
81 per cent fat and 296 per cent
carbohydrate. 1t provides 1898 CAL

SPRING FLOWERS
BY JAMES ID. ROTH

d. JAMES ID. RUIH
The Master sends the flowers OF
spring,
To awaken our sense of life,
And to atone for winters sting.
With its cruel pangs and strife.
Gay colored petals opening wide,
In hues by master mind,
Blossom forth on every side;
Our faith in Him they bind.
BY Him, no promise broken ever,
Let's play our humble parts.
Those sacred ties we will not sever
To Him we give our hearts.

Squaring
the Circle
With
THE HoosIER EDITOR

THERE happens to be an Al
L. newspaper man in town who is
also swell fellow. He went to a
party the other evening and some
one showed glass of ale into his
hand.
Calmly strolling over to a COM
patriot, he gently thrust his full
glass into his friends hand, at the
same time plucking away an empty
one.

INJURED, but I've got to look like
I'm enjoying myself"
THEN there is the story of the
- gentleman who finally squan-
dered on new automobile after
driving his old one for almost five
years.
He'd been driving around Indian
apolis for almost Is years and he
looked very serene as ne steered the
cleaning new vehicle out of the
showrooms and down Meridian-st.
AT a stop-and-go light the new
car stopped. He tried the starter,
Jlggled this and that, and did any
number of things he'd learned over
Is years.
FINALLY, he called the auto dealer.
Quit stepping on the accelerator. f"
SAID the dealer, cts an automatic
choke and you're flooding the thing "
The old auto driver went back,
mutterlng something about new
tangled ideas"
Well, there's always something to
learn.
THE boys were talking about
- the floods over East and a pref
ty good story popped out.
1t seems that The Times sent a
photographer down into southern
Indiana by plane during those dis
aStrous floods few years ago.
The plane swooped over farm
houses, droned over miles of water,
and the photographer click-clicked
away, changing plates on his cam
era all the time.
Finally back to INDIANAPOLIS
came the plane. Down clambered
the photographer. And just as he
reached terra firma, out of his
hands dropped the precious plates.
Morosely, he sought out box.
He pumped himself down, cupped
chin in hand and stared wanly
at the shattered plates.

WOMAN DISGUISED BY
BARRETT EXECUTION

By Mrs. M. A. H.
What amazes me is that we can
calmly sit back without SO much as
a protest against this coming ex-
ecution. The arrangements of bor-
rowing scaffold, bringing a hang
man and three assistants here, put
ting them up at one of our best
hotels, the hangman boasting of
his many executions, keeping souve-
Mrs of the crime, of deliberately
killing man in the name of justice,
are revolving.
The whole thing is a disgrace to
our mo Mean City" If these ex-
ecutions must take place, take them
to the Federal prison where people
know these things take place. To
have this thing thrust upon us is
an outrage, and I call upon all good
citizens to voice their disapproval
against this blot upon our fair city.

CONTENDS ITALY WARS
IN SELF-DEFENSE

BY Frank L. MARITIME
Italy is in Ethiopia by right of
juStifiable self defense.
In discussing the Italo- Ethiopian
conflict, it is necessary to take into
consideration the reasons by which
Italy was obliged to invade Ethiopia.
First of all, it is necessary to bear
in mind the fact that Ethiopians
invaded, on 80 different occasions,
italian territory in Africa.
Italy never has been able to OBJ
tain from Ethiopia, in spite of regu-
lap treaty Con May 2, 1880, the
least cooperation, but instead has
met a steady opposition. The
Italian colonies of Eritrea and
Somaliland have never enjoyed
tranquility on account of continu-
GUS jraids and attacks. Mussolini

then was right in openly saying
to the world 1--WE have had the
patience for SO years, now it is time
to end it,"
What would you do if your next
door neighbor annoyed you daily,
now damaging doors and windows,
now stealing fruits from your
garden and again breaking down
your garage door? Certainly you
would be patient for a time, but
eventually the necessity would arise
to give him a good lesson. This is
precisely what Italy and Mussolini
are doing. The war in Abyssinia
is an absolute necessity for the safe
ty Of Italy's colonies
Therefore, the Italian invasion of
Ethiopia is not an aggression" or
an aggressive" war, but a de
fensive" war, which is, according to
the law of morals and ethics, both
allowable and dutiful.
HOME SCHOOL WORK
is ASSAILED
BY E. Harold Stolkin
Today, in our supposedly civilized
world, youth is confronted with a
new menace-an enemy of better
health, more recreation, and strong
er bodies. Home work should be
abandoned, and in it's place a pro-
gram of more activity substituted.
If a system like this were lnnovated
I am certain there would be far
better results in our modern system
of education.
Let us glance at these appalling
figures. The average youth spends
approximately six hours a day in
school. In addition to this he is
assigned about four hours a day in
actual study. This allows him two
hours, which is easily taken up by
meals and other necessities.
Thus, from lack of outdoor life,
many Of our students became Stoop-
shouldered and broken down physi-
cally. AS a champion of more
healthful living, and less torturous
hours in the study, invite COMPARE
son on my views.

TAX REDUCTION


A reduction of Approximately
two and three-quarter million dol
lars in taxes on personal property,
including automobiles, livestock,
stocks of merchandise and farm
machinery, has been effected by
the 40-Mill Tax Limit Law, fig
ures of the State Board Of Equal
ization Report for 1885 show.
A reduction of $4,000 was eff
fected on automobiles alone in 1885
over the 1888 levy. nGswithstand-
ing substantial increase in the
number of cars, and $40, 1000 was
saved in taxes on stocks of mer-
chandise.

es before the people for reenact-
ment at the general election No
vember 3 as Initiative ia, also
made it possible to exempt from
taxation household goods. assessed
in 1884 at S13,S15,519.
Although Washington residents
paid taxes on their furnishings,
rugs, carpets, books, pictures, sew
ing machines and Granddad's easy
chair, for many years, these artic-
les were not taxed in 1885, and
will not be taxed this year.
