Lack Of Exercise In Cows
May Be Cause OF KetOsis

Ketosis, mainly a disease Of high
producing cows, can also strike
others if they are poorly fed, Dr..
R. P. Link, University of Illinois
college of veterinary medicine re-
ports.
In severe cases a COW may die
during an attack of ketosis unless
She is treated early. On the other
hand, a COW with a mild case may
recover without treatment.
To combat ketosis, COWS should
have good nutritious feed during
their dry period before calving.
If ketosis develops, it's generally
soon after calving when the milk
flow is heavy The cows milk sup
ply usually falls off and she loses
her appetite. Most cows with keto-
sis act sleepy and are wobbly in
their hind legs. Some are excit-
able and hard to manage.
"a COW with ketosis has too many
ketone or acetone bodies in her
blood" DR.. Link says. "Unless
she gets enough starch from corn
or other grains, she uses too much
of her body fat, and ketosis de-
velops."
Many cases of ketosis occur dur
ing the winter when cows get too
little exercise. Without exercise
they can't use enough of the ke-
tone substances, or they can't get
rid of them fast enough.

Largest HeIicOpier, Kills,
Being Developed fOr USAF

Largest helicopter ever to bt
built and capable of carrying tht
biggest load and with the longes
range ever achieved by rotary
wing aircraft is currently being de
veloped by the Piasecki Helicoptel
corporation, Morton, Pa, states
the United States air force.
Des grated the XH-l6 by the
USAF. the huge transport hell
copter follows the tandem-rotor
confcuration pioneered by Piasecki
and already proven so successful
in the ten-place "Rescuer" tan
dem-rotored helicopter now in pro-
duction for the navy, marines and
coast guard.
In fact, the huge XH-16 has a
smaller prototype in the XHJP-l,
an al-metal twin-rotor helicopter
which Piasecki has developed and
built for the navy and which has
made a number Of successful
flights. The air forces XH-16 is
actually an enlargement" of the
XHJP-l in general dimensions and
streamlined appearance.
To give an idea of the tremend-
Gus size Of the USAF's new devel-
opment, the XH-l6's al-metal
aerodynamically clean fuselage
will compare in general shape and
dimensions to the body of the
familiar four-engine Douglas C-54
airliner.
Marking a radical innovation in
rotary wing aircraft, the XH-16
features the use of a large, quickly
detachable capsule which just
about doubles the payload Of this
'truck-and-trailer" of the air.

Derris in Ecuador

Derris is a why plant, the roots
of which contain rotenone. This
insecticide provides the only prac-
teal control for cattle grubs, and,
in addition, is effective against
many insect pests of farm and
garden. In concentrations used in
insecticides, it is not toxic to ami
mails and humans. Derris was in
troduced into the western hemi-
sphere from the Far East It grows
well in fertile soils at low attitudes.
In warm, moist, tropical climates
the harvesting of roots may be
commenced about Is months after

Seniors To Present
Berkeley Square"

The big problem now facing the
senior class in presenting Berkeley
square" Is, Should we censor
eighteenth century lines as writ
ten in the play?
Noted dramatic critics of New
York and London. such as Gilbert
Seldes, have described this play as
"A play which is fascinating and
tender and wItty-it is pure enchant-
meat." Richard Lockwood in the
Evening Sun acclaimed it to be
A play of imaginative delicacy and
charm; of wit ana Of romance. One
at the most COT pletely satisfactory
plays now available And the Lon
don Daily Mail believed Berkeley
Square to be a play of singular
imagination and beauty" Accord
mig to the authorities of the 18th
Century, 1T was a foul-mouthed,
coarse and hard living age. Upper
class life was for the most part
brilliant, dissolute and cynical-It
was very much the age of the arts
socTat" The "aristocrat brought
distinguished manner into every
day Life. An aristocrat spent all
his. leisure hours acquiring style |
and ton; and his leisure hours, 20 |

amounted to twenty-four a day.
1T was, indeed, a brutal and !
audicious age of crime, with pick
pockets in every crowd and high
waymen along every road; a stealthy
and menacing age, blood and muir
dering one. Women who murdered
their husbands could still be burned
at the stake. Traitors were cut
down from the scaffold and, while
still breathing. disemboweled. There
came to be 100 ofenscs punishable
by death-among them, chopping
down a tree in q garden or being
seen for month with gypsies. So
many men were condemned that !.

The Hoover commission on re-
organization of the executive
branch of the federal government
has made its report to the con-
gress. 1t has been on the congress
sional desks, some of it, for
matter of months, yet there has
been done exactly nothing to
bring to fulfillment the monu-
mental task of the commission.
The answer as to why is obvious:
Cd many agencies with impor-
tant support from those with
whom they do business don't
want to be reorganized and (2)
the question of how particular
governmental function should be
carried out frequently collides
with the policy of whether it
should be carried out at all.
A case in point is the postoffice
department. Everyone agrees that
there should be no deficit in the
postoffice department, but there
agreement ends. Nobody agrees
on how to get rid of that deficit.
In the past, attempts to reor-
ganize the executive agencies
has resulted in exemptions for
some in the bill, which open the
door for exemptions for all. Pres
ident Truman and ex-president
Herbert Hoover stoutly oppose
any exemption status for any
agency. But the log-rollers will
get their work in. The house has
passed a bill which would give
the president broad powers to re-
organize by executive order, but
gives the congress power to over
rule him within 60 days after
submission of his reorganization
plan The senate has a similar
bill, which would permit either
house to overrule the president
Various groups are seeking ex-
emption for their pet agencies,
various individuals and organi-
cations want the army engineers
left out of any reorganization
plan; the Railroad Labor Execu-
tives' association wants railroad
regulatory agencies exempted; !;
American Bankers association
wants special status for banking
agencies, etc.
The Hoover commission would
reduce the number of executive
agencies reporting to the presi-
dent from IS to %; it would give
the president authority to name
heads of units in his department
without senate confirmation.
In the department of the treas
ury, the reorganization would set
up nine agencies transfer the Re-
construction Finance corporation,
EXport-Import Bank and Federal
Deposit Insurance corporation to

You can never get ahead OF
anyone as long as you are trying

Much trouble is caused today
by workers who don't think, and
thinkers who don't work.
One short life will soon be past,
Only what is done for God will
last.
When a fellow doen't like to
look at pretty girl, hear a
good sermon, or eat strawberry
shortcake, he's finished.
Few things are impossible in
themselves, it is want of per-
severence rather than ability
that generally causes failure.
Statistics show that women
eat less than men. You can't eat

and danced with Clark Gable
Among her fondest recollections
is that one of her best beaus was
Bob Mitchell, uncle of Margaret
Mitchell, who wrote the book
Gone With the Wind" Bob used
to take Lucy buggy rides on
Peachtree street, and proposed
marriage to her several times.
l first saw Lucy when l was
a reporter for The Journal. She
had been at Red Bird stadium
keeping score for the annual Old
Timers baseball game. Bob Hooey
Journal sports editor, had asked
Lucy to write the story.
At l1:00 p. m. she swooped into
The Journal, laden with para
phenalia. She carried pencils,
erasers, rule books, score books,
folding stool, and two large
fish-net shopping bags. These
contained pretzels, popcorn raj
sins, candy, peanuts and several
other edibles which she spread on
several desks and asked all of us
to help ourselves. We did. So did
Lucy.
But before settling to the type
writer, she had to take off sew
eral outer garments. The night
had promised to be cold. Lucy
had worn sweaters, scarves, a
wool hood, overshoes and a fur
coat. She chatted as she typed
She wrote for two hours, and we
all enjoyed the night.
Speaking of the clothing, the
food, the folding stool-Lucy is
always prepared. The equipment
she carries with her is astound-
ing. She is addicted to a green
eyeshade. Her tall figure, both
hands clutching bulging shop
ping bags, has been a familiar
sight here for 80 years.
1t will be difficult for me to
,, list all her honors. The Agonis
club and the other sports organ
izations have held numerous
testimonial dinners for her. In
1916 she was elected (by all Red
Bird fans) the official grandstano
manager, and as a reward travel
ed on road trip with the team
In our recent conversation
Lucy said her husband died ir
1922 and had been ailing for sew
eral years previously. He died in
Caldwell. His grandmother was q
half-sister of Robert Mckee
Rownd, the Civil War veteran
who died last week at the age OF
1O4.
Lucy's children are Charles
Red" Caldwell of New York
City, and official of the Saratoga
Racing Association and Mrs. John
McEntee 207 w. Kenworth road.
Lucy is one of the most unfor-
gettable characters l have ever
met. She talks daily of Gone
With the Wind"
Every time l see it again,

before" she told me.
