 That system dates clear back to 1887, when the Hatch Act author ized research in rural home cco- monies and sociology with a fla yoring of agricultural experi- menting. The states had to match the money if they got it.

Schools Will Again
Get MantOux Test

tuberculosis is still the chief cause
of death between the ages of Is and
As. In 1910, more than 2,4OO people
in Minnesota died of tuberculosis. In
1888, this had fallen to 800. How
ever, according to state health author
tiles, some of these could have been
alive and we'll today had they taken
the Mantoux test and discovered
their tuberculosis early, when the
germs were at work in the lungs,
bones or some other organ in the
body. This disease is durable if dis
covered early. This test will be Of
fered to all high school students who
have not had the test in the past
three years and also to adults who
have come in contact with tubercu-
lOSiS.
Pine county spent about $4,000 in
the past year for the care of tuber-
culosis patients. Much of this money
could have been saved had these pa
tients discovered their tuberculosis
early, when it would more easily
and quickly have been cured. Thus
giving the Mantoux test and X-rays
saves money as well as human lives

And voice softly said Come"

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

The chief manipulators of the in
ternational puppet show have de-
veloped a habit of creating their
first-rate sensational and dramatic
stage plays on Sundays-and March
II, this year, was no exception, for,
all of a sudden the news exploded
that Benito Mussolini, Italy's dicta-
tor, had left Rome, had gone north,
had, indeed, entrained for a small
Italian town near the Bremen pass
for the purpose of meeting his Ger
man colleague, Adolf Hitler, and that
this meeting was likely to cause most
important reverberations.
While the Mussolini train sped
northward, train from Berlin sped
southwark, carrying Hitler, Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop
and their staff, all prepared to meet
the Italian ''duce," Foreign Minister
Galeazzo Ciano and the other Roman
advisers.
What are they up to now?
That was the worlds question.

"stole the show" at four expositions

sorts, imposing iron ore mining and
other industries, alluring fishing
scenes, the enchanting beauty of its
wilderness areas, where still stand
the forest primeval, accessible only
by foot and canoe trails involving
picturesque portages.
This display is designed to give
the spectators vivid impression of
the natural recreational facilities
Minnesota affords and also what the
people here are doing to help make
them readily available for the en-
joyment of the visitors, according to
Mr.. Johnston. 1t has been exhibited
at four outdoor shows already this
year-one in st. Louis, Mo-, two in

international News Review
COnjectureS.

The question remained unanswered
even after the meeting between the
two executives had taken place in
Mussolini's private car; there was
conversation extending over a little
more than two hours, and there was
a statement to the effect that ''the
meeting had been conducted in
cordial atmosphere. Beyond that,
there was nothing-at least, nothing
announced at the time of writing.
From some sources came report
that Hitler had emerged from the
Italian railroad car with pale and
grim face, Mussolini had been BEAM
ing and smiling. And interpreters
of international events had no more
basis than that to build their guess
eS on.
There were three such guesses:
one was that Hitler had thought the
time ripe for reminding Mussolini,
that-after all, my dear Benito!-
Italy really is military ally of Ger
many, and ought to do something

to stop him from going to Sioux Falls
