Parallel PROJECT

AS a parallel project. the COM
mittee was asked to find ways Of
improving Official market quota
tons on grain.
At the conference. members of
the trade heard that the discre-
pancies between quoted prices and
paid prices were enough of a prob
lem to warrant action.
The conference decided that the
trade itself and the actual produc-
ers Of grain were the logical peo-
pie to find a solution
The committee was also asked
TO look into variations in discounts
for low quality grain among var
iCuS dealers.
Mr. Brinkley told the conference
that dealer discounts for the same
quality grain might vary as much
as 20 cents bushel.
Variations
Along the same lines. the COM
mlttee was asked to find some
method of eliminating variations
among machines used TO check
moisture content Of grains, the
chief basis for discounts.
Finally the committee was ask
ed to evaluate the present system
of marketing ear corn on the basis
Of 70 pounds to a bushel
Mr.. Brinkley had told the con-
ference that some dealers IN the
past mad taken 80 or 85 pounds for
a buShel Of ear corn even though
the Law stipulated that 70 pounds
was a bushel

Students Are Given
Stomach Aches on
Purpose for Science

CHICAGO, Feb. 2 (CDN.-
Fifty students at the University
of Illinois are. having stomach
aches on purpose.
They are volunteers in an
aero-medical research project in
which Prof. Frederic r. Steg-
gerda is seeking to learn what
causes jet pilots to have such
aches.
The students are tested in a
decomposition chamber in which
humidity and temperature are
controlled to simulate conditions
as high as $4,000 feet above
ground level, as well as in vary
ing rates of ascent and descent.
: "At $4,000 feet, gases expand
to more than five times their
volume at ground level" Prof.
Steggerda said.
He said the pain is caused
because as altitude increases
gases in the body expand faster
than a persons system can ad-
just itself.
A physician is present during
the simulated flights"
No student is permitted to VOL
unteer more than once a week.
