Bruin TwizzIers
BY PROF. ]. D. FLINT.

Mr.. lima Pharmer Athart had
some money and a lot of crazy
ideas. One Of his craziest came as
the result Of his experiments in
his beloved hobby, trick farming.
Mr.. Athart created a flower bed
mounted on a wooden, revolving
disc. The disc was 10 feet in d.
ameter and was, Of course, round.
Tho object Of the whole thing was
to have 1t 30 one of Mr.. Athart's
Inventions could be used. The
invention was q machine which
oondsted Of a revolving shaft in
the center Of the flower bed, with
. long, stationary arm which
stretched out to the edge of the
disc. To this arm could be attached
various fertilizers, cultivating blades,
watering devices, etc. The device
on the end Of the arm moved in
with each revolution of the flower
bed 30 that it covered the whole
thing. The diameter of the flower
bed itself was only 7 feet, the
3 other feet being for the mech
anism in the center, etc. Mr..
Athart discovered that the flower
bed went around 218 times to cover
every little row Of delicate flowers.
How far does the device on the
end Of the arm travel?

Victim Of Abnormal Appetite
Cured After 3 Operations

diabetes patient, who doesn't have
enough insulin.
The doctors removed part Of Mr..
Mitchell's pancreas, and he went
back to the farm.
Two months later he was back.
His appetite was as prodigious as
ever.
The doctors took out some more
Of his pancreas, but his appetite
got bigger than ever.
Still a third operation was per-
formed, and this time the doctors
found something.
Appetite Now Normal.
Way back underneath Mr..
Mitchell's pancreas the surgeon ran
onto a little growth called an
adenoma, crammed with isles of
langerhans and pouring insulin into
Mitchell's system.
He shipped 1t out.
Now Mr. Mitchell eats three square
meals day and no more.
"Sure, I'm healthy now" he said
today. There's no question about
that"
In all the four years Of his illness
Mr.. Mitchell's weight varied only
IL pounds-between ITS and 1877.
DR.. A. H. Hinshaw, assistant super
intendent, said the hospital had had
only four such cases in its 25-year
history and that Mr.. Mitchells was
the most severe.

KANSAS CITY, Kans., Jan. 23.-
Four months ago Archie Mitchell,
A, had to eat bacon and eggs,
cereal, half pint of cream, roast
beef, mashed potatoes and gravy,
five other vegetables, lots Of butter,
three hamburgers, two or three
pork chops, a half dozen oranges,
several sandwiches and q couple
of pieces of pie every day or he
would collapse Of hunger.
He first noticed his condition
while he was farming q piece Of
land near Mound City, Kans., in
1888. If he didn't eat q sandwich
in the field he was likely to faint
behind the plow. 1t took a couple
Of oranges to pull him through the
evening chores.
So he came to University of Kan
sas Hospital here. Doctors told
him his pancreas was functioning
too heavily.
The pancreas is pinkish mass
under the stomach. In the pancreas
are thousands Of microscopic cells
called the isles of langerhans,
which secrete insulin.

Grange UrgesL Limit
OF $4,000 on Benefits
Paid 10 Any Farmer
Ceiling Asked for

As individuals
~ the Associated Press.

~ tne ASSoclAtS0 Press.
The Executive Committee Of the
National Grange recommended yes
terday that Congress put . limit Of
5000 on tie annual total in farm
benefit payments to an individual
farmer or corporation.
Under the present farm act, .
10000 limit went into effect this
year. There has been some agita-
ton, however, for removal Of this
limit on the grounds that large
farm corporations will not cooperate
In the crop control programs II their
benefit payments are restricted. A
group Of cotton farmers suggested
recently that the limit be waived in
case where the payments are shared
with tenants or sharecroppers.
"Our goal should be the preserva-
ton and prosperity Of the family
sized farm" the Grange Committee
said. Corporation and chain farm
ing should not be encouraged by the
Government"
The committee announced selec-
ton Of Peoria, ILL.,, for the oranges
1899 convention, to be held Novem-
Der 1923.
In a general statement, 1t de-
scribed falling farm prices and con-
tinued unemployment as the two
major issues before the Nation.
ANY program that brings to
agriculture a larger share Of the
Nations income and makes farming
profitable will 60 long way to cor
rect the problems of unemploy-
ment," the statement added.
The committee asked amendment
and simpliflcation Of the Farm Act,
but did not include specific sug-
gestions in its statement.
Discussing the railroad problem,
the committee said 1t favored con-
tinued private ownership Of rail-
roads and their rehabilitation, but
opposed imposition Of uniform reg

New Whittall
Concerts
Begun
First of Season
Excels in
Artistry
By ALICE EvERSMAN.

A concert of outstanding artistic
merit was given at the Library of
Congress last evening bv the Gordon
String Quartet. drawing a large
crowd of enthusiastic lovers of
chamber music. This was the first
concert of this season presented
under the Gertrude Clarke Whittall
Foundation, a second one being
scheduled for this afternoon at
o'clock. The remainder of the series
will be scattered throughout the
winter months with special emphasis
placed on that of December l8,
when the birthday of the great
violin maker, Stradivari, is COM
memorated.
Extraordinary finesse in interpre-
tation and exquisite blending of tone
were the salient features of this
splendid ensembles playing last eve
ming. Having chosen a program
that allowed of special appreciation
of these qualities, the members of
the quartet gave full rein to their
artistic perceptions and the mar
velous Stradivari instruments re-
sponded in richest manner. The
perfect fusion of tone which the
four instruments achieve, directed
by the oneness of intention of these
players, is of thrilling beauty.
The program consisted of the
Haydn Quartet in G Major, Op. n,
No. l." the Glazounov Quartet No.
S in D Minor. Op. 70" and the Bee
thoven Quartet in F Minor, Op. 95."
The amazing delicacy of fantasy
in which Haydn excelled is exempli-
| fed in this quartet from the light
grace of the first movement to more
dramatic quick flowing finale. The
lovely Adagio is perfect in work
manship, with deeper emotional
mood introduced by the sonorous
voice of the cello. The members Of
the Gordon ensemble performed it
with infinite care, varying the play
of light and shade with skillful
balance and spinning of phrase.
The "Glazounov Quartet" is an
excellent example of this masters
gift of melody and of emotional
| richness. To each instrument In
turn is given the statement of the
Introductory theme of the first
movement and the composers
ingenuity weaves it together with
telling effect as the movement
progresses. In the midst of
/ turbulent expression of emotional
intensity in the second movement.
there comes superb choral pas
sage where the four instruments
give freely of their full power in
an exquisite lyrical moment.
In this, and the songlike theme
Of the Adagio with its expansive
line, the artists reached the peak
of their emotional mastery. The
sound flowed together. impercep-
tibly forming unblemished harmony
while the unison in spirit of the
players was SO perfect as to create
the Illusion of one instrument play
ing. The spontaneity that marked
the performance gave further stress
to the grateful character of the
! work.
Although the program concluded
with the Quartet Serioso.' as Bee
thoven himself named his COM
position, this short quartet of the
master held also the lyrical note
as the Gordon members played it
and formed a fitting finale to a
thoroughly delightful evening Pro-
longed applause was the audiences
tribute after each number.

Goering or Hitler Visit
To itoIy Possible

MILAN. Oct. IA (P.-A possible
visit to Italy by Hermann Wilhelm
Goering or perhaps even Adolf Hit
Ter, was rumored yesterday as the
chief OF all German police, Heinrich
H1mmler, left Milan after three days
of conferences with Italian Police
Chief Arturo Bocchini.
There were unconfirmed reports
that the Villa Carlotta, on Lake
Como, was being made ready as if
for an important guest.
Himmler and Bochini, previously
reported to have met to arrange
repatriation of Germans in Italian
areas. maintained close reserve on
what they had discussed.

Berlin Expects LuI|
In War Until Italy
And Russia Speak
HitIer's Next Move Is
ProbIemoticoI With
PorIeys Under Way
By the Associated Press


BERLIN, Oct. l4-The lull in
military activity on the western
front is expected here to continue
little while longer-at least until
italy and Soviet Russia have spoken.
German conversations with these
countries we're said already to be
under way Only few high-rank-
ing Nazis, however, can predict
Adolf Hitler's next step now that
Prime Minister Chamberlain has
rejected his terms for ending the
war.
Informed German quarters said
that nothing more may be eX-
pected from France or Britain. but
they expressed belief the door still
is open for a neutral nation to step
IN as an Intermediary.
Three Planes Shot Down.
The only official comment on the
progress of hostilities in the west
was a communique reporting that
three enemy planes had been shot
down near Coblenz. The supreme
army command also noted minor
artillery activity"
In the east. the communique said,
German occupation of the Nazi
sphere of influence" in Poland was
completed as troops took over the
last sectors at the Bug River"
Meanwhile the impression pre-
vailed that Germany would launch
vigorous attacks from the sea and
from the air on the British Navy
and coastal points-which some Nazi
strategists apparently believe are
vulnerable.
Britain Held Main Foe.
As in World War days, Britain
Is generally regarded here as Ger
many's chief enemy, and alone is
responsible for continuation of hos
tilities. Quarters close to the gov
ernment declared it is completely
clear now that England wants war
under any and all circumstances"
Official comment, equally bitter.
accused Great Britain of the de-
termination to "annihilate the Ger
man people"
newspapers unanimously placed
the war guilt upon Britain's shoul-
ders. The Frankfurter Zeitung said
editorially that behind Mr.. Cham
berlain's rejection of Germany s
peace proposals stands hard and
wicked determination to continue
the war despite the fact that peace
"A sensible and permanent peace
could be had"
"Chamberlaln," the newspaper de-
clared, declined to accept the big
chance which the Fuehrer offered
IN his Reichstag speech: he decided
IN favor OF continuation of the war. -
Asks Recognition Of Guilt
The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger called
upon the American press to witness
British war guilt" The paper said
the American press had reduced Mr.
Chamberlain's speech to the formula
the war begins" and added that if
words have any meaning the Ameri-
can press is right.
AS to the positions taken by Rus
sia and Italy in respect to the present
conflict, nothing was officially known
AS yet. Informed quarters pointed
out that discussions between the Ital-
ian and German general staffs would
determine the course of Italy's fu-
ture action.
AS FAR as Russia was concerned
these quarters expressed belief that
the Russian-German agreement of
September % took care of all eventu-
alities, including even rejection by
France and Britain of German peace
offers.
