"About 2 years ago Purina Mills be-
gan a series of feeding tests at the
Purina Experimental Farm to deter
mine the effectiveness of this net en-
ergy basis for building a dairy feed.
The climax of this experimental work
was reached in a test with 60 grade
cows, divided in herds of 30 head
each.
Checked and Double Checked
"One herd was fed the regular Purina
dairy ration on the market at the
time high in total digestible nutrients"
says Summers. "The other herd was
fed ration both high in total digest
ible nutrients and rich in therms of
net energy. The result was startling.
Both herds did well, but the cows on
the therm-rich feed averaged 10 pounds
of milk daily while the cows receiving
the regular Purina ration gave IS
pounds of milk. Tests were repeated
for second full lactation period, with
verifying results.
For final and conclusive proof, the
herds were reversed and the cows that
had been given the regular Purina
dairy ration were fed on the new
therm-rich feed while the herd that had
been receiving the therm-rich ration
were given the Purina ration. The 80
cows fed on the therm-rich ration con-
firmed the results from the first herd.
BY this time our men in the Dairy De-
partment were calling these net energy
units Matchmaking therms.'
Those 60 cows gave us the informa-
ton needed to make our present i'm
proved dairy rations. Today our GUS
toners have a milk-making ration that
not only has its carbohydrates and pro-
teins balanced, not only is rich in min
erals, not only is high in total digestible
nutrients, but also is rich in milk
making therms. The result to our
customers is extra dollars of profit"

from to II inches long, composed
Of five to nine short-stalked, dark
green leaflets. These leaves are
slightly toothed and have silvery
lining.
In the case of the white ash we
find male and female flowers on
separate trees. The staminate
flowers are inconspicuous, of dark
redish to purple color, and four
lobed, while the pistillate flowers are
in panicles. On these trees you find
the light brown, paddle-shaped
fruits later on in the season. The
seed children travel on the airways,
accounting for the wide distribution
these ashes enjoy.
The wood is close and hard
grained, very strong and tough yet
elastic, easily worked and odorless.
The total stand is nearly 100000
600 board feet and largely second
growth. This stand does include
several species, of which Al per cent
is white ash.
Another thing in favor Of this ash
is its almost complete freedom from
the attacks of insects and fungus
growth. The younger trees are
often the victims of fire hazards and
many fine stands have been dam
aged by this greatest of tree foes.
While white ash is distributed by
the wind and fine trees are produced
from the seeds, stumpage value is
high. Farmers are finding out what
an asset the white ash is to them
and are not only planting them in
their woodlots, but counting on them
to meet future financial farm needs.

Trunk Mystev

The police of Albuquerque, N. Mex,
have been knocked dizzy by a trunk
mystery, unique in the annals of
crime. Or possibly it is not crime
no one really knows how it should be
classified. An unknown man got
into house, left valuable trunk,
and with f1endish ingenuity man
aged to force his way out and escape.
Nothing was missing, and the only
gain reported by the householder
was an empty trunk. At first specu-
latlon was rife, one school of thought
insisting that probably the culprit
had already been caught long ago,
years before he had committed his
daring unburglary.
A cable to Sherlock Holmes finally
put the police on the right trail, at
the cost OF almost running the finest
detective intellect in Britain. He
had, in fact, just given up, and was
in the act of sending twenty
pound note to Albuquerque as his
unfee, when DR.. Watson came in and
heard the story. "The case presents
several interesting features" re-
marked the good doctor. Lend me

THIS AND THAT
Hy Charles z. TrdceUell.

The Citizens' Committee OF section
four. Chevy Chase. Nd, has issued the
following excellent letter to Its con-
stituency:
Does your dog annoy your neighbor?
ITO each Of us his own dog is a kindly,
inof1ensive pet who Is the admiration Of
all our friends and the living example
OF the old saying that the dog is mans
best friend
"Yet this committee is constantly re-
ceiving complaints OF annoyances.
These complaints cannot be dis
missed as being from people who just
don't like dogs and therefore object
to having dogs around.
Many complaints are from people
who have genuine affection for dogs.
Complaints received most frequently
are In regard to vicious dogs.
But noise, both by day and far into
the night and in the early morning
hours, may be an even greater annoyance
to which you have no right to subject
your neighbors.
Nor is the destruction of valuable
shrubbery to be accepted as merely a
penalty of trying to keep on good terms
with dog-owning neighbors.
THE possession OF dogs is one of the
privileges OF suburban life, but this
privilege should not be allowed to inter-
fere with your neighbors enjoyment Of
peace in his home and quiet for his hours
OF rest, which also should be privilege
Of suburban life.
THE Citizens Committee takes this
method of appealing to dog owners to
have consideration for their neighbors.
Adequate restrictions placed on the
activities Of dogs would greatly increase
the pleasure of the residents of the
community and avoid much of the Ill
will which is now reflected In numerous
complaints to this committee.
Proper housing and care of your dog
is greater index OF your affection than
turning him loose on your defenseless
neighbors."
So much good will and common sense,
as well as civic pride, is manifest in this
letter that it is difiicult TO see how any
one could resist its appeal
One may feel convinced that if all
common problems were approached in
the same way most of them could be
resolved to the satisfaction Of ALL
There will be trouble even in paradise; 4;
most communities where human beings
live will have matterx arising which all
too often are looked at one -sidedly; the
approach OF good will is the best and
most feasible.
Probably the two main features most
people move to the suburbs for are to
get quiet and fresh air After all, there
are only few ways, comparatively
speaking, in which these can be lost.

Senator Overton's Victory

No one expects new taxes to be
greeted with applause in any COM
munity.
Nevertheless, the District revenue
bill, awaiting the Presidents sigma
ture, carries with it one note Of
encouragement for this community,
not from the standpoint of the tax
structure itself, which is plainly in
equitable, but because it takes a step
toward return to more equitable
financing of the National Capital, as
between Washingtonians and Ameri-
cans generally.
BY writing into basic law an author
ization for annual continuance of the
new $6,000,O00 Federal payment pre-
viously agreed upon for this year
only, the bill carries definite recogni-
ton Of the national obligation while
fixing the terms Of the local obliga-
ton. In so doing, it corrects the
grave injustice of the 1888 tax law,
which removed all national obliga-
ton from the statute books by re-
pealing the sixty-forty ratio.
For this decided improvement in
the status of fiscal relations with the
Federal Government, District resi-
dents owe thanks to Senator Overton
OF Louisiana. Taking over the Chair
manShip Of the Senate Subcommittee
on District Appropriations seven
months ago, the Louisiana Senator
plunged into an earnest study Of the
history of District finances. He ana
lyzed the minute details of the many
voluminous reports that have been
written on the subject from the be-
ginning. He familiarized himself
with the intent Of the founding IA
theirs to make this beautiful Capital.
Having already been on the Sub
committee for several years, he be-
gan his service as chairman with the
definite conviction that the national
obligation was not being met ade-
quately through the IS ,00o, 900 annual
lump sum Of the past three years;
that the lump sum theory is unscien-
titic, and that the fairest solution
would be q return to q definite per-
centase ratio, which prevailed from
1878 to 1928. Then, seeking to avoid

Lending and Paying

While there is no disagreement
with the hypothesis of Secretary of
the Treasury Morgenthau that there
is real difference between self
liquidating and non-recoverable ex-
penditureS by Government and that
substitution of the former for the
latter would be a distinct improve
ment budgetWiSe in the New Deal
financing, it is not quite so easy to
share his sublime optimism that the
$4,000, 100000 lending bill now hang
Ing fire in Congress will light the
path to recovery.
1t is difficult, for instance, to feel
confident that expenditure of
$750,000,000 in highways will come
speeding back in toll charges. AS a
matter of fact, American travel has
been pretty we'll weaned away from
toll highways in recent years and the
degree to which it might respond to
a system of pay-as-you-go roads is
somewhat uncertain.
The already strained credit of
many municipalities makes them
something less than gilt-edged risks
for $35O,000,000 in loans, and the
rocky financial condition of the rail-
roads most in need of equipment
makes one wonder whether they are
In position to lease new rolling stock

chase Of their homes seem equally
uncertain ventures, despite whatever
merit such proposals have on grounds
other than a strict figuring Of self
liquidating capacities.
In short, it would be the better par!
of wisdom for Congress to appraise
this program realistically, measuring
the desirability OF the contemplated
projects by all standards rather than
by any single and tenuous hope that
they will pay their way in hard
dollars.
If this is done it is not impossible
that a fair portion Of the program
would meet the broader test more
easily and effectively than it actu-
ally complies with standards of SELF
liquidation.

Peace PROSPECTS,

AltllUueIl TIeSlQenJ Roosevelt ana
Secretary Hull hold that Senate re-
fusal to revise our neutrality legis-
latlon is far from designed to pro-
mote the cause Of peace in Europe,
the Associated Press reports from
London today that optimism about
Danzlg now prevails in many quar-
ters which hitherto have regarded
war as inevitable. Rising financial
markets in London, Paris, Berlin and
New York reflect the slackened ten
sion.
Whether overtures for amicable
adjustment of Polish German differ
ences would originate in Warsaw,
Berlin, London or some neutral
region is not yet indicated. In the
three capitals named categorical
denials OF peace negotiations are
generally accepted. In London
authorities are, indeed, disturbed by
certain ominous parallel. They
recall that last summer Europe was
lulled by optimistic stories of
peaceful solution of the Czecho-
Slovak crisis exactly fortnight be-
fore the British Parliaments sched-
uled recess. Sixty days later came
Munich. Today, with recess again
around the corner, these fearful souls
wonder whether 1899 optimism may
not be headed for the rocks, too.
A Berlin government spokesman
expressed the belief yesterday that
the Danzig question is steering in
the direction of peaceable solu-
tion," but, when pressed for elucida-
ton OF that cryptic statement, would
only amplify it by saying that "our
intentions are SO we'll known that
anything further is superfuous.
AS Hitler's purpose to bring Danzig
and the Corridor home to the
Reich is unaltered, there is unfortu-
nately ground for suspecting that
todays inspired" Berlin peace op-
tlmlsm may in fact be Nazi propa-
ganda designed to mask Germany's
determination suddenly to impose
her will on Poland in some surprise
move that would catch WarsaW's
allies of guard.
Despite the strong public utter
ances Of Chamberlain and Halifax,
the firmness and unanimity Of public
opinion and the comprehensiveness
OF British military, naval and air
preparations, competent observers of
the Berlin political scene, the Asso-
ciated Press also reports, say Hitler
is convinced that Britain would not
hight to prevent his taking Danzig.
So the "silver jubilee" of the out
break of the World War a fortnight
hence approaches with the issue OF
war or peace hanging in the balance.
Apparently no government anywhere
Is sure In which direction the balance
will finally swing. Views as to that
are necessarily nothing but wishful
thinking at this hour. They cannot
be based on absolute knowledge, for
IN the mercurial situation existing
IN Europe, such knowledge is not
available to any man.

The Co. Signal

IL is with genuine concern Tor tne
peace of the United States and Of
the world that the administration
and a vast number of citizens of
differing political faiths receive the
news of the abandonment by Con-
gress at this session of plans for some
legislative action on neutrality to
bulwark this country against the in
CreaSingly-grave and ever-recurring
crises abroad. The concern quite
UNDERSTANDABLE approXimates actual
alarm when one contemplates the
stimulating effect which the decision
reached at last nights conference at
the White House is certain to have on
the Nazi and Fascist trouble-makers
of Europe. Congress, by its failure
at least to remove from the statute
books the rigid and dangerous arms
embargo provision of the 1887 Neu-
trality Act has, in effect, given the
restless and unsatisfied aggressors
across the Atlantic the "go" sign AS
surely as though it had adopted a
Joint resolution, Congress has notified
the totalitarian military Strategists
that they may eliminate from their
plans OF conquest and oppression the
question mark with which they had,
up to now, tagged Americas role in
the international embroglio. They
know now that Americas back is
turned and her hands are Shackled
by law II war should break out in
Europe this summer or fall-as
many competent observers fear 1t
will. To know of such shackles
definitely in advance of a military
operation should be most comforting
to scheming dictators.
The President, Secretary Hull and
the thoughtful members of the House
and Senate who waged so valiant
fight for repeal of the embargo sec
tion and enactment of practical
peace program that would deal more
realistically with developing prob
lens of the changing world deserve
the highest measure of commenda-
ton from the American people,
whose security is at stake. The issue
Is so vital to the national welfare as
to justify the President in carrying
the fight to the people. The re-
sponsibility for what might happen
as an indirect result of the postpone
ment until 1910 of the neutrality
legislation program rests upon those
who were willing to give up the battle
too easily and upon the opponents
OF the program, most Of whom, un-
doubtedly, were sincere in their opin-
ions. Those who were Influenced
against the program by partisan
considerations any there were
may have to answer not only to the
American people but to their own
consciences. 1t is to be hoped that
the fears OF an impending interna-
tional conflagration will not mate
rlallze-at least until Congress has
had an opportunity to return to
Washington and to discharge forth
rightly its constitutional obligation
to collaborate fundamentally with
the executive branch of the Gov-
ernment in preserving peace.
