Dr.. 6. I. Gillespie
Gives Batta|aureate
Sermon AtHJC

what Is Your Life, was the text
of the baccalaureate sermon preached
by DR.. G. T. Gillespie, president of Bel
haven College, at Holmes Junior Col
lege Sunday evening.
DR.. Gillespie spoke Of the restlessness
on the part of students as a whole this
year and of their seeming to feel that
their going to school was futile on ac-
count of the uncertainty Of the times.
He said life is uncertain to a great ex-
tent in normal times, that the most inn
portant thing one can do is to make
himself useful in a spiritual way, and
ne has the greatest opportunity to do
that now that he has ever had.
He said people judge and choose
things too much from their appearance.
Money is certainly very necessary to
life; but the most valuable things are
not those that can be bought and sold
for money. Christianity is more in the
feeling one has.
The glee club under the direction of
Miss Martha MeKie, very beautifully
sang: Beautiful Savior" Christensen;
"My God and L." Sergi; and "The Lord
Bless You and Keep YOU" Lutkin. The
invocation was given by Rev. II. S.
Robinson, Pastor of Goodman Presby-
terrain Church, and the benediction was
pronounced by Rev f. W. Ford of Good
man.

S%uperphosphate Is
Important For Pastures

With beef on the hoof valued at Z
cents a pound, a 126 percent return on
a $~9.60-an-acre investment in super
phosphate for beef cattle pasture every
3 years was reported by K G. Baker,
superintendent of the Black Belt Ex-
pertinent Station, Marion Junction, Ala,
speaking before the Mississippi Live
stock Association, State College, this
past week.
An application of 1900 pounds of SUI
perphosphate to the acre every third
year resulted in an average produc-
ton annually of 34S pounds of beef
as compared with 17.7 pounds where
no fertilizer was used, in 8 years feed
ing trials.
Beef production returned annually
$21.16 an acre on pasture treated with
superphosphate every third year, with
beef valued at 7 cents a pound on the
hoof.
Application of 400 pounds of super
phosphate annually resulted in pro-
ducing 2S6 pounds of beef to the acre;
600 every third year in producing 276
pounds; and 200 pounds annually, in
producing 231 pounds.
These trials were on plots prepared
in the fall of 1888, treated with phos-
plate and seeded with a mixture of
annual yellow sweet clover, annual
white sweet clover, white Dutch clover,
black medic, Dallis grass, blue grass
and orchard grass. The sweet clovers
nave practically disappeared, Mr.. Baker
said, and The ~clovers remaining are
white Dutch and black medic. Orchard
grass failed to stand the competition,
leaving Dallis grass and bluegrass.

Latest Battle Planes
Found Superior 10
Pilots Who Fly Them
Improvements in Design
Await New Methods to
Protect Humun Machine
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 14-Development
Of airplanes, accelerated by the war,
has made planes superior to the men
who fly them, says a medical pro-
fessor, and improvements in aviation
await new methods of protecting
the human machine.
Although the war has brought
advances in medicine as we'll as In
aviation, the nature of air fighting
makes it impossible for flyers to
benefit from many of the important
medical improvements, said DR..
Henry T. Ricketts,, assistant pro-
fessor of medicine at the University
of Chicago.
Most ailments due to flying, he
said yesterday, in lecture at the
university, are the result either Of
low air pressure or lack of oxygen
at high attitudes. He declared that
the Ideal method of combating
them-the use of the sealed pressure
cabin plane-has thus far been i'm
practical in military flying" He ex-
planned the pressure mechanism and
the sealing materials would add too
much weight to a pursuit plane, and
in bombers their added weight would
reduce the bomb load
The medical method of preventing
decomposition sickness" form
of which is known as the "bends"-
also is impractical in military flying,
DR.. Ricketts, declared. In this
method. pure oxygen is breathed be-
fore flight.
This procedure is being employed
at present in the Air Forces" he
said, but although useful it has by
no means eliminated the trouble,
One of the difficulties is that under
combat conditions, in which inter-
ceptor planes must take off at
moments notice, there is often in
sufficient time"
DR.. Ricketts, said that efforts to
develop pressure suit for dive
bomber pilots, with different pres
sure on different parts of the body
to offset the rush of blood toward
the feet and legs when pulling out
OF dive, have as yet failed to
produce an adequate model.
