Hard-working Farm Hands
Find Time for Daily Dozen
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13— (£>)—
The director of a radio broadcasting
station here says many California
farmers are going through their daily
dozen with the aid of the radio.
Promptly at 7 o’clock every morn
ing physical culture expert broad
casts directions for setting-up exer
cises. and there is a piano accompani
ment. Whole families sometimes ap
pear to attend in the privacy of their
homes the class in waistline reduction.
The only objection thus far received
by the broadcast director came from
some farmers, who asked for an ear
lier hour for their daily dozen. They
wanted their exercises before milking
the cows. But since the farmers are
in the minority and the city radio fans
consider 7 a.m. early enough, the hour
is unlikely to be changed.
Many in other states pick up the
gymnastic broadcasts. The oldest ra
dio daily-dozener to report is a 79
year-old Civil War veteran in the sol
diers’ home at Yountville, Cal. The
youngest is a five-year-old-girl in Bel
lingham, Wash. Among the corre
spondents are women between 70 and
80 years of age, and some of them
have asked for more strenuous mat
exercises.
It is estimated that 20.000 are tak
' ing the service.

Records of 1800 Show
4 Eggs 5«:d for a Cent
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.—
(/P)—'Department of Agriculture ex
perts, in hunting down data for a
statistical compilation of the price
range on agricultural products dur
ing thepast 100 years, have come
across some astonishing exhibits of
the low cost of foodstuffs in by
gone years.
It is a matter of record that Caleb
Hitchcock, a merchant of Perry coun
ty, Ohio, purchased from Holten Ma
jors, a farmer, 35 dozen eggs at
three cent a dozen, and sold to him
two gallons of whiskey at 25 cents
a gallon. But this happened in 1860.
The records further show that
Hugh Mianney, of Lake City, Mississ
ippi, in 1848 sold 98 pounds of raw
cotton at 8 1-2 cents a pound. In
1860 corn in Minnesota sold for 30c
a bushel, and wheat for 75c a bush
el. In 1846 in Chester county, 111.,
ham sold for 7c a pound, beef 21-2
a pound and stove wood $1 a cord.
In 1848 in Charles county, Mary
land, two pounds of chewing tobac
co sold for thirty cents. In 1834
in Cleveland, Ohio, corn sold for
from 15c to 20c a bushel and wheat
from 50c to 60c. During the same
year in Morgan county, 111., cows sold
for from $10 to $20 and live hogs
at two cents a pound.
Horses Wear Snow Shoes
to Cross Rocky Mountains
MISSOULA, Mont., May 13.—(£»)—
Weather conditions in some parts
of northern Montana, particularly in
the mountain sections, make it ne
cessary at time to resort to rather
unusual efforts to circumvent na
ture’s handicaps.
An instance is the reported plan
of G. S. Hinkle, superintendent of
construction work on the Lolo pass
road project, to theborder between
Montana and Idaho where the high
way crosses the Rocky Mountains.
With snow still two and a half feet
deep and the beginning of the sea
son’s construction operations plan
ned, Mr. Hinkle decided to send 30
horses over the mountains^ on snow
shoes.
Boards about a foot square are
fastened to the feet of the horses.
These, Mr. Hinkle says, will be suf
ficient to support the animals weight
and it is said they quickly learn to
handle the unaccustomed footgear.
Fred Morrell, district forester for
the northwestern area of Montana,
says his men occasionally find it
necessary to resort to the same ex
pedient in crossing the summit of
the range.
Taste In Colors Called
Criterion of Civilization
DENVER, Colo., May 13.—(ff) —
Prof. Thomas Russell Garth, of the
department of education in the Uni
versity of Denver, declares that pref
erences in colors denote types of
civilization and orders of intelli
gence.
He pointed to a recent test made
by the University of Texas, which
found that white children cared most
for blue and evinced a particular
distaste for yellow.
“The more white people are edu
cated,” said Prof. Garth, “the less
they esteem red. In fact, they sup
press all colors except blue as they
become more educated.”
A previous examination of 1,000
Indians shows that red was their
favorite color. They disliked yel
low, avoiding its use whenever pos
| sible. One thousand Chinese child
ren, given the same test, displayed

London vaudeville companies are to

Each company will have a bevy of

succeeds in Great Britain and Ire

sent to the continent where they
