was in recess today while all govern
ment agencies whose activities af
fect the farming industry began the

JOINTS OF STEEL RAIL BE
TESTED BY HAMMER
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4.—
Having due regard for Washington’s
nerves, experts of the bureau of stan
dards have gone into the woods to j
make a test of joints of steel rails' un- |
der conditions stimulating those j
when flat wheels pound away nightly
and daily.
A power hammer weighing four !
hundred pounds, and driven by an el
ectric motor, was falling once every
second on a welded joint today and
the experts hoped to determine by
the tests which of four or five types
could best withstand the rough ham
mering.

OXFORD TESTS PASSED BY
A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY
LONDON, Dec. 3.—Famous men of
the past, like Milton and Macaulay,
who were familiar with Latin and
Greek, when they had hardly passed
their infancy have to some extent
a modern counterpart in a 12-year-old
Liverpool lad, Harry Mace, who ac
cording to The Daily Express, has
passed the tests qualifying him to en
ter Oxford university.
Harry is an adept at Latin, Greek
and mathematics and is eager to go
to Oxford. The modern rules of the
university do not allow the matricu
lation of so young a student.
