WASHINGTON, Jon. 2I.-
It'll b a long time bsfore the
people who ron the third tsrm
ipouourotion show f.or,ost
about the time they had tok-
ing core OF all The governors. I.
Ar Of the 48 governors were
invited to come down and see
the Inauguration. Slightly more
than holt accepted: most OF
the rest promised to send their
lieutenant governors or other
officiol representatives.
ltwos then up to Col. Horace
Smith the inaugural commit
tees general chairman on or
ronoements, to see thot the
visiting dienitories we're prop
erly entertained.
The Job looked simple, at
first. On Inauguration doy
there would be the ceremonies
themselves, the parade, q
White House luncheon and q
White House teo. In the eve
ming there was to be q big in
oueuroI, ball. All in all, every
ones time would be thorouoh-
" filled.
Then plans for the big ball
in the evening were cancelled.
Colonel Smith ond his helpers
hod to foce the possibility that
two dozen governors would
have q long evening in the
copitol with nothing to do. So
they got in touch with the con-
9ressionoI delegations and the
stote societies and saw to II
thot some sort Of banquet, ball
or coming out party was stog-
ed for each of the distinguish
ed visitors.

Vacation With Pay Urged
For Cows by Dairymen
Nv the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio.-Dairy cows
are in the money again-and Ohio
State University specialists recon-
mend that they be given six or
eight weeks vacation with pay"
annually to keep them in condition
for the production campaign, just
now speeded up for the national de-
fenSe program.
The dairy husbandry experts ex-
plain the need for bovine vacations
by saying dairy cows are artificial
animals created by man from early
models which gave only few hun
dred pounds of milk each year,
Now dairymen want cows that av-
erage 10000 pounds of milk an
nually.
Milk contains a high percentage
of water, but it also contains min
erals and other food constituents
that are manufactured within the
cows body. If this manufacture
proceeds continuously from one
lactation to the next, the ceaseless
drain on physique reduces vigor
so the milk production over period
of years will be less than if the COW
had rest periods each year.
