It's All in the Interest of
Scientific Experiment.

MINNEAPOLIS.-Three rats are
playing marbles on the University
of Minnesota campus-an in the in
terest Of scientific experiment to
determine if they can work together
as a team.
DR.. William T. Haron, head of the
animal psychology department, said
the object of the experiment was to
discover il rats can cooperate in a
given task as do human beings,
and, because thought processes of
rats are not unlike those of man, to
shed further light on mans habits
in modern society.
The rats are cooperating in the
research because if they don't play
marbles they don't eat. And hum
ger. DR.. Haron explained, is the only
real motivating factor in their lives.
The marble game is taking plenty
OF time. Already the rats have been
at it four months. Here's how the
game has developed so far:
Late last fail the marbles were
placed on ledge in the cage, so
the rats could knock them off acct
dentally. And as each marble
rolled off, an electric hookup re-
leased pellet of food in the rats
dish.
In short order the rats learned
that when they wanted to eat they
had to knock the marble off the
ledge. But then the experimenters
made the game more difficult, re-
quiring that the marbles be rolled
up a slight incline and through a
small hole.
At present the rats are learning
the hardest part of the game-that
of their working as a team. One
must roll marble about six inches,
the second must lift one over a
small ledge. while the third pushes
marble up an incline
And when the rats learn their
present task, they will be put in a
cage together. They will be re-
CURED to handle one marble-each
doing his particular JOB.

HUGH JACKSON'S
LETTER
TO My Fellow Piegans:

To My Fellow Piegans:
Since established banking houses
will not under write innovation,
why should you?
The government your council is
trying to pilot, happens to be an in
novation. Did you ever have any
luck trying out something you
know nothing about? Those things
usually cause hardships, don't they?
This innovation you have made tie
unto is costing you $4,000 annual
ly, less expense for employees. Did
you like that?
Is your government for the people,
of the people, and by the people?
We have been under this setup of
the reorganization act several years
now. I have listened to many of you
full bloods express your opinion,
your reaction and feelings in the
matters bitter and miStrusting in
deed. AS for myself, it looks like a
case of wolf eat coyote, and coyote
eats the sheep. The cause of all this
mistrust and bitter feeling is the tri-
bal money. Very close to 100 per
cent of you want your money paid
direct to you. The very small per
cent that think you should not have
the proceeds of your oil revenue,
are the ones that are receiving be-
nefit and pleasure from your funds.
All of that is rectifiable in accord
ance to the way you feel about the
matter. With your vote, you are the
boss. There is only one outstanding
issue in the coming election. have
heard you talk about that for sew
eral months past. 1t is your money
and it IS not strange. Do the right
thing by your children; start bank
roll for them with the proceeds Of
their oil resources. 1t is virtuouS.
Yours very truly,

satisfied until someone can prove to
me that our natural oil resources
are limited.
1t is easy to understand that oil
storage is cheaper in the ground
than in the tank and that there are
no taxes on it, but it is not so easy
to understand its limited amount.
What we must do is to draw upon
that vast unlimited supply, and

I would like to hear from some
of the prospective candidates as to
what they have in mind for the fu-

others waiting.

Government Seeks
Increased Sales

WASHINGTON, March 0. CUP)
The immediate objective of the
governments proposed program to
subSidize food purchases by re-
lief clients will be to increase sales
of dairy products, citrus fruits and
fresh vegetables, officials said to-
day.
Milo Perkins, president of the
federal surplus commodities COR
poration which drafted the pro-
gram, said the list of products
made available for relief clients
would be varied from month to
month to aid in the disposal of
surplus seasonal crops. The first
list of products probably will in
clude citrus fruits, dried fruits
eggs, dried beans, vegetables. dried
and fluid milk, butter and cheese.
The plan, expected to 90 into
effect by April Is, provides for the
Issuance of free stamps to relief
clients good for the purchase of
surplus foods designated under the
scheme.

In a speech before a separate
session of the contractors, John
Possehl, vice president of the build
ing trades department of the
American Federation of Labor, ex-
pressed opposition to government
interference in labor relations"
IT never have been in favor of

tions of employment, through legis-

at their national session. 81 would

He predicted that the present

Lectures Federal
Agency on Economy

WASHINGTON, March 9. (UP)
President Roosevelt's son, Ell
lott, gave a government agency
lecture on economy today, and
defended his recent attacks on New
Deal acts delivered over a 23-sta-
ton radio network in Texas which
he heads
He also told the federal COM
munications commission that he is
having sponsor trouble" The
backer of his radio blasts, he said,
is thinking of changing to a gar
den club program"
The discussion about economy
came up when Commissioner Paul
A. Walker asked Roosevelt whether
he believed the government should
construct its own 500,000-Watt sta
ton to be operated only in emer-
gencies. Elliott previously had tes-
titled that 'Super-power" broad
casting was an economic mon
strosity" and that it would be used
effectively only when the country
is at war or is stricken by ter
rible catastrophe.
His testimony was a tacit en-
dorsement of the commission ac-
ton in ordering the nations 100000
watt broadcaSting station, WLW,
Cincinnati, o., to return to $4,000
watts on March l. In reply TO
Walkers question, he said:

expense. 1 would be against vast

In that unfinished attic of yours.
All very WELL, you say, to have
that extra space, but can you afford
It? Oddly enough, you not only can
afford it, but actually can save
money by doing it in the proper
way.
There is no mystery about the
process. If your attic is properly
refinished with a board that insu-
lates as it builds, you will save
about SO per cent of the heat loss
through your roof. Too many houses
apparently are trying to heat the
great outdoors by allowing their
heat to leak out. The roof area of
the house is the main culprit in this
respect.
BY turning the attic into q fin
ished room with insulation board
