lin institute here one of the broncho-
scopes which brought him interna-
tional fame, to demonstrate to the
layman how the delicate surgical
apparatus operates in removing for

honors in this country and abroad
for his invention and work, has re-
tired from active practice to devote
himself to preventive medicine. IN

institute is part of that phase of his
work.
Through the instrument placed
down the throat of a mani6in the
observer sees what the surgeon
sees ia operating the bronchoscope
and can employ the flexible forceps
to extract objects from the lungs.
Included in the exhibit is a col
lection Of the objects extracted with
the bronchoscope, including peach
stones. peanuts. safety pins Copen

It was agreed, therefore, that the
dairy program in the future should
consist of more educational work
in advertising the value and use of
whole milk, along with greater CO.
operation of farmers in regulating
production to avoid surplus milk
for which there is very limited
market as compared to that guam
tity which the consuming public
demands. Further consideration
of these dairy problems will be Civ

~ 9bushels per acre, the total pro-
auction for the year was 4,147,000
bushels. These figures were equal
ed last year but are above the av-
erage for the 1927-1936 period,
when the average yield per acre
was 27.3 bushels per acre with an
average yearly production of g.
o5o,OOO bushels on 100000 acres.

showed higher than average yields
per acre this year while buck
wheat averaged less per acre than
in 1887. The average yield for

Eden Declares Further Retreat On
Issues Can Only Bring About
Confusion; Britons Are Resolute
Says Nation Must Take
Stand Somewhere to
Keep Self Respect

STRATFORD-ON-ANON. Eng,
Sept. 2l.-Anthony Eden, former
foreign minister, speaking here
today declared that to continue
to retreat from issues could lead
but to confusion.
The English people today are
as stable and as resolute as ever
before, he said; they desire peace
and are willing to make sacrifices
for peace, but they must realize
that to retreat is only to add to
the confusion.
He did not attack the Chamber
lain government, declaring that
the government, in possession OF
the facts held the responsibility
to the people and that parliament
was the place for detailed dis
cusSion.
He recalled his previous warn
ings against optimism, and declar~
ed that the international situation
was steadily deteriorating. II ap-
peasement is to be what 1t says,
there must always be point at
which we as nation must make
q stand to maintain our self re-
Spect.
Even if the present dangers
have been averted those of the
future must be faced. The truth
is the recurrent crisis bring US
nearer to war, he said. The world
cannot progress under such con-
ditions. The best that can be hop
ed for is an uncertain peace, soar
ing ornaments and detriment to
trade.
With Englishment and Ameri-
cans, he said, liberty and law are
the twin conceptions Of civiliza-
tions. Englismen and Americans
cannot be impervious to the
threat Of a powerful nation
against weak one.
