page of notes down while I was

the shirt had forgotten the notes,

Great Patriots OF America
Boosted Beer
Washington, Madison, Adams,
Jefferson Advocated Brew
ing AS Incentive To
Moderation

Many of the leading figures of the
American Revolution of 1776 were
brewers or advocates Of brewing as an
incentive to moderation, it was dis
closed by the Brewers Institute of
Maryland, in statement preparatory
to the celebration of Independence
Day. Among the great American
patriots were Thomas Jefferson,
Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, Israel
Putnam and DR.. Benjamin Rush.
James Madison pleaded in Congress
for high duty on imported beer in
the hope that such encouragement
would induce the brewing of beer in
every State of the Union, and George
Washington's recipe for making beer,
in his own handwriting, was recently
discovered in an old notebook in the
New York Public Library.
Considering beers long association
with American history, it does not
seem uniting that the flag that flew
over Fort McHenry and inspired
Francis Scott Key to write "The Star
Spangled Banner" should have been
made in a Baltimore brewery. Be-
cause of Old Glory's great size, the
work was done on the floor of a brew
cry formerly owned by Mayor Ed
ward johnson of Baltimore. Mrs.
Mary Scott Piekersgill and her
mother and daughter sewed the flag
that inspired the national anthem.
These facts and other interesting
historical data were gathered by the
late Warren Milton Persons, sta
tistician, author and professor Of
economics at Harvard University.

Study Shows That Only One
Out Of Every 400 Persons
Has Trouble Hearing
Over Telephone
Bell Telephone Laboratories
Announces Results Of Tests At
Two Worlds Fairs

A recent study of more than half a
million hearing tests taken by visitors
to the Bell System telephone exhibits
at the New York and San Francisco
fairs, revealed that only one out of
every 400 persons has hearing impair
ments that interfere with the use of
the telephone.
About one person in every 1875,
however, has difficulty in hearing a
direct conversation, and one in every
25 has trouble hearing in an audi
forum.
In this, the widest survey Of hearing
ever made, the Bell Telephone Labora-
tories, who were particularly inter-
ested in the findings from a telephone
research standpoint, disclosed that
women generally hear higher tones
better than men. The masculine ear,
however, excels in the lower notes.
The study included persons from 10
to go years of age.

GOOD DAIRY COW
PAYS ITS BOARD
High Producing Animals
! Prove More Profitable.
BY ELMER J. MEADOWS

One dairy cow that produces 545
pounds OF butterfat a year will re-
turn as much money above feed
cost as two cows that produce $50
pounds, or more than IS cows that
average 152 pounds of butterfat an
pua1ly. That's what experiments at
the Colorado State college indicate,
says Elmer J. Meadows.
One 545-pound cow will return $108
above feed cost during a year, ac-
cording to figures Meadows has
compiled from actual experience.
This figure is based on butterfat sell
ing at 40 cents pound.
Two cows each producing $50
pounds of butterfat year will re-
turn only 81 year more above the
feed cost than the 545-pound cow
and will cost $168 to feed. compared
to $40, the feed cost of the large
producer. Thirteen 152-pound cows
win return $101 40 above feed cost
during year, and it will cost $689
to feed them.
IF the extra labor required to milk
and care for Is cows producing 152
pounds of butterfat each compared
to 2 producing $50 pounds each, is
figured, it would further emphasize
the necessity of keeping and breed
ing only cows with the ability to
produce large amounts of milk and
butterfat.
And so the question evolves
"Why not take a few cows that pro-
duce at least $50 pounds of fat a
year rather than whole corralful of
the 152-pound group that produces
only about 20 pounds less than the
average dairy COW in the United
States?"
