NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Makes Safe Dirigible From to Britain Flight Montreal, Canada. R-1- By EDWARD W. PICKARD big dirigible, Britain's Great mane a successful and uneventful crossing of the Atlantic ocean, taking off from Cardington, Wales, and reaching Montreal about 70 hours later. There, at St. Hubert airport, she was tied up to the mooring mast that had been built for the purpose, and her passengers landed, well pleased with the trip. Until the airship readied the vicinity of Newfoundland she maintained a speed of between f0 and 70 knot?, but the fogs then forced a Blowing down until she got well into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Inning passed over the Belle Isle straits. While passing over Quebec the airship sustained some damage to the fabric covering one of the fins, and the motors were shut off until repairs had been made. This delayed the arrival at Montreal somewhat and prevented the tieing up of the ship to the mooring mast until early Friday morning. Throughout the voyage radio" communication was kept up with buses in England and Canada and with ocean liners. The northerly route was taken, following the great circle by way of north Ireland to a point south of Cape Farewell, Greenland, then to Belle Isle and along the St. Lawrence river to Montreal. Squadron Leader It. S. Booth was In command, with four ofticers and a civilian crew of 39 men.

The Liberal government, bended by Mackenzie King, was decisively defeated by the Conservatives, ami Richard B. Bennett, Conservative chief, will he the new premier. Mr. King himself was reelected to parliament, but many members of his cabinet lost out, these Including Finance Minister Chnrles A. Dunning, who drew up the budget Increasing tariffs against the United States and lowering them to Great Britain, which constituted the main Issue of the campaign. A quick call to a session of the Canadian parliament Is considered one certain result of the political upset. Canada's extension of tariff preferences to Grent Britain, without exacting tariff preferences In return, can be expected to be withdrawn or modified as the result of the election. The electors turned it down In defeating the government candidates. Cnnada, in other words, will make its trade treaties with the world. Irrespective of empire ties and sentiment. The St Lawrence seaway plan is once more thrown in the realm of po lltlcal controversy and uncertainty.

Mr. Woodcock proposes to have the dry law agents trained "to act always as gentlemen" and to resort to the use of fireurtns only In He called the administrators and special agents all in to Washington and laid before them a statement of Ids policies which was said to have been approved by President Hoover and General Mitchell. Schools Attorney will be set up to teach the agents to use their brains rather than their brawn in discharging their duties, to train them in methods of gathering evidence, in knowledge of the law and In habits of discipline." Five major points were emphasized in the Woodcock statement aside from the proposal to maintain high personal standards for agents. These were: (1) Establishment of a system of daily reports to Washington by deputy administrators; (2) scientific research into such problems as drunkenness statistics, nlcoholtsm deaths, and hop and corn sugar production ; (3) efforts to obtain more state aid In dry law enforcement; (4) efforts to secure more uniform sentences for violators; and (5) concentration upon the commercial liquor traffic rather than upon "pitiful, plcnyunlsh, non commercial cases." Supervisors of industrial alcotiol permits also met in Wasldngton and, with their chief, James M. Doran, con sidered how they might best combine their efforts with those of the prohibition enforcement unit President Hoover's law enforcement commission will issue a second formal report of its work tlds fall. Arrange-menifor formulation of the docu ment will be completed at a meeting here early In October. Leaders of nearly all the dry organ izations In the country Issued a signed declaration of policy which was looked upon by many as a recognition of the growing antagonism to prohibition en forcement as it has been carried on in the past. In it they repudiate nil en forcement policies that do not regard and safeguard every persona! right guaranteed by the Constitution, and pledge themselves to a campaign of education. The declaration states It is the paramount purpose of the Eighteenth amendment to destroy traffic in intoxicating beverages, and that the enemies of prohibition try to make this appear ns offensive sumptuary legislation.

The world vve know is the world we explore with our fingers, tongue, eyes, ears, nose, nnd all the receptors with which our body is so abundantly supplied on or in tlie surface or within. We know some objects, beings, qualities aud quantities, well ; some, not so well. Included In this knowledge of objects are attitudes toward objects. We learn eventually to let sleeping dogs lie, and many objects, persons and situations alone. Dont monkey with that! But vve do. There is more monkey than rabbit In our Inheritance. As a result, a lively hoy or girl of fifteen years knows as much as the "average American. Here is a baby. It has learned the location of Its eyes, ears, nose, and toes, and can reach and grasp and handle. Assume that it has been carewhich usually means fully guarded It knows next to nothing. Offer it a t peach, pin, stick of candy, match, poker, cat's tail, firecracker; same reaction ; baby wants it It may learn enough in one lesson to alter its behavior thereafter to each of these objects. Why? Because hot pokers, firecrackers, cats tails, pins, candy, etc., have their own behavior. Sooner or later baby learns that the tail of a cat is not a handle to a plaything. con- LINE with the Hoover program helping business, representatives of tlie various branches of the building industry and allied agencies of finance met in Chicago and created a permanent national conference on contraction. Julius II. Barnes, chairman of the national building survey conference last fall, presided and wa made bend of a committee to complete arrangements for the organization of the conference. A statement Issued said : "Tlie meeting was held for the purpose of reviewing tlie principal intergroup problems of the construction Industry and to determine the practicability of developing a continuing organization to assist in tlie solution of such problems. Aspects of realty finance, Including problems of legislation, appraisals of property, methods of home financing and credit practices were discussed. Possible means of securing greater stabilization of the construction Industry, a number of aspects of taxation and practical methods of Introducing economies in the building and financing of residences and Income properties, were considered."

Ieacb can also stimulate the skin of band, or body, or face; also the nose, the tongue, and sense organs in tlie canal and kinesthetic alimentary senses. By tlie time the exploration is complete, tlie etiiid knows a peach. Through the responses to the many diverse stimuli a peach can make, tlie child knows more or less of its color, shape, weight, hardness, odor, taste. That ft has a skin, that the skin is tough and covered with down, that the down is unpleasant to skin of hands, face, mouth nnd tongue, etc., etc. Knowledge of peach was built up. Visual stimulus was adequate to provoke grasping response; odor stimulus provoked another response ; and so on. By and by any one stimulus may call forth all the responses of all the other stimuli, because these responses are conditioned.

If bite nnd scratch are serious, and especially if mother yelled, "Don't! at the top of her voice, we are likely to know harks and meows, and when such melodies stimulate our ears, we do not need sight of dog or cat to complete our perception.

All power was centered In a supreme Soviet committee. Gangs of Communists, beaded by squads of Red troops, surrounded buildings marked off by the supreme command for depredation. Orators proclaimed the Communist purpose to distribute the surplus wealth," and selected followers entered the buildings and transported furniture and valuables to the street, where they were auctioned off. The proceeds were pocketed, after which the coolies and town riffraff were invited to enter and complete the looting. After this the places were burned and the crowd moved on to the next building scheduled for destruction. More than 200 foreigners, 20 of them Americans, were at the summer resort at Kuling, near Kiukiang, and were considered to be In grave danger. On Wednesday the American gunboat Palos, which was approaching Changsha, was fired upon by Communists and five of tier crew wound ed. The Palos returned the fire, using machine guns and three-incrifles at close range, and finally dispersed the Reds. The Inlos had previously evacuate helped foreigners from Changsha and was returning to survey the ruins of the city. Two American missionaries, Rev. William I. ingle of Salisbury, N. C., and Rev. Allen Cameron of Lawrence, Kan., remained In Changsha because they had conscientious objections against accepting protection from gunboats. 1 ' ' i by George A. Dorey. 223 students attendFt.

A. Williams of Indiana. A mixture of six pounds ground corn, two pounds ground oats or hnm, and one pound of oil meal Is a mixture he recommends. As soon as the desired condition has been obtained, replace the corn with bran and ground oats. At least ten days before freshening feed equul parts of bran arid oats with possibly one pound of oil meal n day and greatly reduce' tlie quantity. For several days before and after calving there is no feed so good as' bran mashes because of their cooling and laxative properties. If constipation develops, give a quart of raw linseed oil or one pound of epsom salts. Clover, alfalfa or soy bean bay may be allowed with possibly a limited amount of silage. Many cases of milk fever can be avoided by care at this time. After calving, supply plenty of water but increase the grain ration very slowly. Coin and oats must be sparingly used until about the fifth 'day the regular ration of four when pounds of corn, two pounds of oats and one pound of oil meal at the rate of four to five pounds a day nmy be used. Increases should be made at the rate of one pound every third or fourth day until maximum production hits been reached. When a cow no longer responds to increased feed, drop hack slightly when it will be noted that site will Increase still further in production. Full feeding had test be deferred until four to six weeks after freshening. Air. Williams calls attention to the fact that at the time of calving, certain substances called harmones are liberated into the cow's blood stream which stimulate milk production. These harmones. he says, become exhausted as the lactation period advances or if the cow Is in poor flesh, Get Excellent Results From Balanced Ration A great many fanners do not feed a well balanced ration to their dairy cows because for some reason or other they think that such a ration Is necessarily much more expensive than one made up of the ordinary farm grains. If a protein feed has to be purchased the price usually seems high. A ton of a high protein concentrate always costs more than a ton of corn or oats or barley, and unfortunately many farmery compare the price of feeds on the ton basis. The thing thnt so many do not seem to realize is that a given amount of a high protein feed properly mixed with grains will bring a lower production cost because the more perfectly a dairy ration is balanced with reference to protein. carbohydrates nnd mineral matter, tlie more economically will it ba used by tlie animal. farm-grow- Early Cut Sunflowers to Keep Up Milk Flow Sunflowers cut about 88 days nfter planting, or about tlie middle of August, proved to lie tlie most pnlatable and kept tlie milk flow of the cows closest to the level of corn silage In trials made In Illinois. Tlie Mammoth Russian variety was used in rows about 3 feet apart and about 10 Indies apart in the rows. When about 23 per cent of the plants are in bloom and show the yellow rajs plainly, and tlie upper leaves are green, is tlie best time to cut sunflowers for tlie silo. Two other lots of sunflowers were tried out, one lot ing cut and ensiled wiien 95 per cent of tlie plants were in bloom and half the leaves were rusted dry, while gt the third cutting tlie plants were about dead and entirely dry ami woody. Pasture Supplement As late summer approaches tlie need for pasture supplement becomes more acute. It Is during this period that pastures become short, due to dry weather. Silage has proved to be the best forage supplement for pasture, although soiling crops, such ns green corn, oats and soy beans may be used, if the labor Is available. It pays to supplement these feeds with one of tlie grain mixtures and hay. In order to keep up tlie production of heavy milking cows. James V. Hopkins, Monongalia County, West Virgnnia.
