Pennsylvania State College has discovered that -the vitamin B, so important to life, Ia manufactured by the cow in her inornach in great quantities. -l :Scientists cut a little door into .the "rumen," or second stomach of thli cow, and deprived her of all food containing vitamin B. Nevertheless, in a little incubator in that second stomach the cow produced the precious vitamin B in profusion. That may mean to child life as much as the admirable fight against impure milk made by Nathan S~us. In cities people go crazy more frequently than they om:e did. Excitement, bootleg liquor and other things help. In New York State one person in every twenty-five has been in the insane asylum, accordittg to the American Psychi• atric Association.

Loneliness, that used to arive them insane by the thousands, has been softened by telephone, radio, parcels post, and, above all, the automobile. • • President Vinson tells young people of Western Reserve University that no conflict exists between science and religion; they occupy different fields. He wisely remarks that science, without religion, would lead to hopeless materialism, just as religion, when it denies the plain truths of science, leads to fanaticism and superstition. Religion and science are like astrology and astronomy, or like alchemy and chemistry. Astrono!ny started m astrology, chemistrj started in alchemy, with experimenters seeking to make gold. Science started in religion. Men, questioning the origin of things, first gave a religious answer, everything based on miracles. Then they studied more closely and bepn giving sci~ntific answers.

It is l'laimerl that Judge Morgan has been holding the city attorneyship of Murray since January 1926 and has been drawing $90 a month salary in that capacity since that time. llow delightful it must bP. to have that income in addition to a salary of $210 a month as Juvenile Judge during the same period. Judge Morgan is co.ndemned by some for holding two positions in violation of the laws he is enforcing as judge. A man who can get away with that should be considered a bright man.why not give him another job doing something else on the side. The City of Murray should be criticized for hiring Judge Morgan. They have very good atto-rtl.eys in the confines of their city, why not keep the taxpayers money to home where possible? We will have the copy boy page the Greater Murray League. Among other things happening it is noticed that a suit was filed in the Third District Court Tuesday to recover $600 from G. William Smith and E. T. Egli, bondsme,n for A. L.
