1t is a relief that no one has re-
ferred to Alberto Lowell as another
Luis Anel Firpo, despite the fact
that the latest Argentine heavy
weight halls from the same town on
the Pampas.
Lowell defeated Luigi Rovati of
Italy in the final heavyweight bout
in the 1882 Olympic Games. He
became a national hero in the Ar
gentine. Little was heard of him
in the United States until recently,
when he popped up in California
seeking more glory and some OF our
gold.
In his second professional U. S.
fight, Lowell was tossed against An
DIRE Lenglet. The towering French
man was riding high. Shortly after
the opening gong Lowell was on the
floor. Three times in the first
round he was sent to the canvas by
the Frenchman's punches. But each
time Lowell managed to climb back.
Later he put Lenglet down for a
short count. Then he went on to
pound out a decision.
Make Rosenbloom dropped his
work at the studio long enough to
test the South American and suf-
fered fine going-over for his pains.
Not many of the big boys are out
smarting the cagey Make, even at
this late stage of his career, but
that is exactly what Lowell did.
Later came Red" Burman, Jack
Dempsey's heavyweight hope. Bur-
man connected with one of his rights

FEEDING COSTS
MAY DROP WITH
new EXPERIMENT
Matanuska Studying Var
ious Feeds for Cows
and Sheep

In the Matanuska Valley. an ex-
pertinent has been inflated by Don
l.. Irwin, superintendent of the
Matanuska Experimental Station
that may lead to lower feeding costs
for Alaskan stock.
Mr. Irwin said the cost of feeding
"a calf during the first year has been
found to be STA and that it is pro-
hibitive for farmers. Cows have
been shipped in from the states in
stead of raising calves.
The new experiment will determ-
inc whether calves can be raised
successfully on a diet of skim milk
instead of whole milk Six months
from now conclusions will be posi-
bic 1t is hoped that the skim
milk will cut the feeding cost to
about $50
Another experiment already I'M
derway at the Matanuska station is
in winter diet for sheep in an
attempt to cut feeding costs.
In the experiment With calves Mr..
Irwin plans to put 10 on a diet OF
skim milk and two others with
them on whole milk diet. One
pound of powdered skim milk mixed
with nine pounds of water will pro-
duce gallon and half of skim
milk. This will be mixed with
finely ground grain.
During the first 10 days of life,
the calves will be fed whole milk,
gradually changing to skim milk
The amounts will be increased over
period of six months.
BY comparing the calves on the
kim milk diet with those on the
whole milk schedule the experiment
station will determine whether the
new diet Is success.
In the experiment with sheep the
experiment station has divided is
sheep into three groups One group
Is being fed ordinary hay off the
tide flaas. chopped fine and dried.
The second group gets oat and pea
hay, chopped fine and dried, The
third group gets oat and pea hay
from the field.
The sheep are watched to deter
mine how they prosper. When
necessary the diet is supplemented
with home grown hay In six months
the results will be known.
Mr.. Irwin pointed out that some
farmers have asserted the cost Of
winter feeding for sheep makes 1t
prohibitive for them to keep herds.
They have been using oat and pea
hay for the feed with about half
pound of ground oats and barley
mixed with it daily. The cost was
estimated at about $40 per head per
winter The new diet may reduce
the amount.

SCIENTISTS LEAVE

Der ia party of scientists winged
across Grand Canyon today on the
first leg of perilous journey to an
island in the sky" they hope will
take them $4,000 years back into his

Tonight they camp on the north
rim of the canyon, and Tuesday
morning they plan to begin Cruel
ing climp up Shiva's Temple, a mile
and-a-half-high plateau that juts
straight up from the gorge's floor.
What they will find atop this wooded
relic of that ancient time, when
receding glaciers cut away the soil
around it and left stranded all the
creatures that inhabited it, they do
not know. Not in the memory of
man has any one scaled the temple
How the descendants of those
marooned creatures-probably only
spruce squirrels-have survived the
ages is what the scientists, headed
by DR.. Harold E. Anthony of the
American Museum of Natural History
and Edwin D. Mckee, chief nat
uralist Of Grand Canyon National
Park, seek to learn.
They will set traps and, returning
with their specimens, compare these
animals with their cousins-descend-
ants of those beasts fortunate enough
to escape isolation when the glacier
glided by. BY this means they hope
to learn important facts concerning
the effect of environment on species.
Mckee and NJ r. Tillptson. su-
perintendent of Grand Canyon Ma
tional Park, expect to fly back to civ
ilization late this week, but DR.. An

MARINE CAPITAL
"STR|KE' FEARED
Lack of Private Funds and
Enthusiasm Threaten u. S.
Subsidy Plan.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
A prospective shortage OF private
capital threatened today the success Of
the Governments program to rebuilo
the American merchant marine.
e Joseph P. Kennedy, chairman of the
Maritime Commission, said survey
now nearing completion indicated ar
apparent inability on that part OF
the ship lines to hold up their end OF
the subsidy program upon which the
Governments plans are predicated.
4 AT the same time a lack of en-
thusiasm for the subsidy program was
reported in maritime circles. Many
ship owners, it was said, do not ap-
prove of the provisions of the law
Y Certain New York ship operators
went so far as to say the operation of
the merchant ship subsidy plan was
-lmpossible." They predicted the Gov
ernment would have to build the ships
itself if a new merchant fleet is
launched.
= The subsidies which the Maritime
commission is empowered to offer shin
operators in the building of as many
- $50 merchants ships, would equalize
the difference between the American
costs of building and operating ships
and similar expenditures by foreign
competitors.
Prograhm Unlikely.
z. 1t has planned $3.50 ,O00, 900 subsidy
program. Unless private capital is
willing to invest to the extent of the
non-subsidized COSTS there will be no
building. however, for the commission
to subsidize.
Disclosure of this possible capital
strike came in the midst of mari
time labor troubles.
1.-The National Labor Relations Board
Saturday called for Wagner act cleo
lions within week at East Coast
and Gulf ports to settle a prolonged
struggle between c. I. o. and A. F.
Of l.. maritime unions. The C. I. O.
group had threatened strike.
While ship owners indicated the
lack of private capital for the COM
missions program was due to dis
approval of the law, Kennedy was
emphatic that ship operators were
unable to finance their part.
Kennedy said when the report is
made public about October /. the
commission would have to let the
country know" that it appeared i'm
probable that the merchant marine
program would be carried out as spec
med by Congress in setting up the
maritime commission in 1896.
III Couldn't Put I'm a Dime.
Commenting on the ship operators
forecast that the commission would
nave to build its own feet. Kennedy
declared the Government would not
90 into the shipping business, either
10 build ships or run them.
one OF his associates said the ship
line operators couldn't put up
dime for construction even if the
Government guaranteed them every-
thing except the profits.
The ship owners said their chief
complaint against the subsidy plan
was the certainty Of controversy over
foreign and domestic construction
cost differentials.
The subsidy law requirements that
ships be built according to naval spec
ncations for speed and have gun en-
placements also were criticized by the
owners.
Other points OF opposition were
ealo to be the subsidy requirements
nmlting top salaries of the private
operators to $4,000 a year and re-
curing that books be open for Gov
ernment inspection.
