The masters vision was never completely realized, but the stamp. of his greatness abides In the interior with, its soaring arched ceiling. Dinkelsbuhl was founded long-- before the Normans conquered England. More than a .thousand years ago a group of Franconian peasant warriors had ' settled on an elevation in the Wornitz .valley; There, when not engaged in fighting for their existence against- raiding Franks or- Magyars, they raised grain. About the year 928, at the command of Emperor Heinrich the First, walls were erected arou.nd the tiny settlement, and there came into being a fortified city destined to withstand the strifes and intrigues of a millennium and . to play an lm- -' portant role in the pageant of history which those ten centuries ' were ' to (Prepared by National Geographic Society.

People live placidly, farming' the fertile fields of the surrounding valley or . 'conducting the same small enterprises which engaged the attention of general tlons of .their forbears. ' There is no air of dilapidation about the place.. Everything is' incredibly old but extremely well preserved. Tradition is hallowed and' kept alive here, and changes that would alter the medieval characteristics of the city are not tolthat. erated. The council sees to-i- t when, repairs have to be ma.de on the houses they are carried out in such a manner as to preserve the original form, and no shrieking signs may be ' , 'displayed. . ' The main streets of the "city, radiate toward the cardinal points from a central plaza and. are lined with shops and with fine .old patrician houses. buildings, gabled and timbered, rest cozily .against each .other,' while occasionally an architectural giant rears Its steep-side- d roof above the others, proclaiming to all comers its. sturdy old age. Branching off from the main thoroughfare are narrow, winding lanes and side streets which abound in treasures of medieval artistry. Exquisite examples of ' frame and stucco building, Intricate, hand-forge- d iron rails and gratings, . and beautiful, secluded courts and gardens await the explorer of these enchanting byways. Old Trades Survive. ' Trades that' are dying out in other places still exist in Dinkelsbuhl. Coopera make barrels by hand in the open air.

One might infer, that at some time in Dinkels-buhl- s history the guild of smiths was a power within the town. At any rate, the signs lend to the streets over which they swing a note of peculiar interest. As in so many South German towns,' the houses are for the' most" part gaily painted. The color combinations are perhaps a bit startling, but they are always effective. And flowers vie for color supremacy with the brightly tinted houses. .No nook or cranny where a plant might grow has been overlooked. Masses of vines cover the garden walls, while nearly every house has Its window boxes filled with petunias, geraniums, Wells and and other gay blooms. fountains are ringed about with the same living colors. Overshadowing the market place, as Indeed it overshadows everything else in the city, is the Church of Saint George, built during the latter part of the Fifteenth century, when Dinkelsbuhl was at the height of its influence. To the 5,000 inhabitants it represents something more than a place of worship. It Is an expression of all the civic pride and aspirations of the sturdy old burghers who directed its erection.

Last summer Shuman fed 52 head and sold them September 23, when they were six and a half months of age, averaging 204 pounds each. They paid well for their feed. They were fed corn, wheat., oats, tankage and soy bean oil meal. They used 391 pounds of feed for each 100 pounds gain, according to the report which Shuman made on them to E. T.

One of the cheapest and easiest methods, if one has a car, is to use carbon monoxide may gas. This gas, which is very dangerous, is made in the motor and is released through the exhaust pipe. First block all the holes so that they are as airtight as possible and prevent the animals from escaping.

Some authorities claim the early Franconian settlement was on a low hill (buhel) belonging to a man named Dinko or Tinko. Thus 'Dinkelsbuhl. Others assert that the chief crop of the locality gave the city Its name, and that it means wheat (Dinkel) hill (Buhel). However the City came by its name, it prospered. The location was a favored One, easy of defense, and .on a d route from the old Roman empire into Germany. .

Lu- It is common knowledge that when people lost their temper they feel that other people are to blame. Those possessed of bad tempera, in consequence, tend to lead lonely lives and may even be forced to accept the ignominious idea that their outbursts are due to their brains or livers. But experience has shown that the relief to be obtained by blaming ones own bodily organs Is not comparable with that which proceeds from blaming ones neighbor. A man may not be responsible for the behavior of his liver, but if he blames it the suspicion tends to lie against h4m that, in days past, he failed in the duty of abstemiousness. It Is good news, therefore, that a case has been made out for the theory that one Inherits bad temper from ones ancestors. The evidence, If not perhaps conclusive, is good enough to satisfy an angry man. It is aet forth in the Kings College Hospital Gazette, but derives from Francia Galton. He found that in 25 fanJJes in which both parents were the number of d children was only 4 per chilcent, while really dren amounted to 52 per cent In the case of families where both paron the conents were trary, only 30 per cent of the chilAll dren were really the others, except 10 per cent who were showed no special tendency either way. Doctor Still, who contributes the article, points out that a child who lives with parents is handicapped from the beginning, and that no doubt is true; but such a child has before it an awful example which might well tend to direct its mind into gentler ways. That its mind is not often directed thus Is witness of the strength of heredity. It is comforting to find that the Lancet endorses the case against ancestors so far as to offer them as a substitute for wayward or backsliding organs, and that, further, even the faults of such organs may be laid at the door of heredity. This man back brings the at once Into association with his fellows. When bis face reddens toward explosion his children or his friends will feel no longer creeping over them that uneasy suspicion of their guilt which before caused them to flee from his presence. Soon they will say comfortably to themselves, he will be giving his grandfathers mem- ory s bit of his mind. man is Indeed, the likely to become an object of the sympaihywMnh goes out to the deand highscendants of sheep-stealeway men. Doctor Still has mnch to say about coefficients of Irritability and lays it down that we have all our flash-poiof anger or irritation, of irritabut in some the flash-poition is lower than the average. This Is no doubt true, but, as the Lancet Justly observes, most of us have encountered men who were cheerful while their affairs were In good train, but who became Irritable and whining in the face of disaster; the cantankerous wife of an unsuccessful husband may be transformed into a delightful person by the removal of financial anxiety. Thus the blame Is spread evenly between ancestors and stockbrokers. Upon backs so broad and sturdy It may reasonably and profitably be left London Times. Predicted Hurricanes Many months ago Herbert Janvrln weather foreBrowne, long-rangcaster of Washington, predicted that 1932 would be a notable hurricane year. In a recent announcement he claims his prediction is beginning to be fulfilled, and cites the fact that several typhoons, the equivalents of West Indian hurricanes, have already occurred along the western fringe of the Pacific, including the severe Philippine storm on April 29, one in Indo-Chlnanother in Bengal, and a fourth at Mauritius. Similar storms, he says, have occurred In the hurricane region of the Atlantic. And if we take the word of Mr. Browne for it there will be others as the hurricane season advances. e j Tty lydls E.
