Rigid Tests for Drivers
In Berlin candidates for places
as bus drivers must pass a series
of very rigid tests. When the ap-
plicant has complied with all other
requirements he is placed at a
steering wheel and confronted with
a moving picture screen in which
appears a procession of buses and
other vehicles, a runaway horse,

Tree Belfries
Many of the first Christian
church bells were fastened in tall
trees that stood near the church,
writes Satis N. Coleman in bis
book, “Bells.” Even today. In
some villages of Russia and other
countries, the bell hangs on the
brandies of a tall tree in the
churchyard. In Iceland the bell usu-
ally Is placed in the “lych gate,” a
covered entrance to the graveyard.
.The tree belfry once was common
in Scotland and Ireland.
Estimates made by the Depart-
ipent of Agriculture for coun-
tries producing 69 per cent of the
wheat in 1928 indicate a smaller
crop for this year. Wheat produc-
tion In the 26 countries include J
in the study is estimated a^ 2,
208,223,000 bushels compared with
2,347,665,000 bushels. Estimates
for 16 European countries total
947,339,000 bushels compared with
1,012,508,000 in 1928. \
Of the European countries, Prus
sia reports a smaller yield than
in 1928, white good yields o’1
wheat were below average con-
dition August 1st. Russia’s grain
reports have become less optl-
'mistic. The surplus producing
areas o fthe east have crops less
satisfactory than the commercial-
ly less important western area.
Conditions were reported as
unfavorable in Australia. Austra-
lia’s wheat crop is estimated un-
officially at 100,000,000 bushels.

this power. Doctor Schlaeppl has
succeeded in filtering milk, obtain-
ing a dear greenish liquid which
contained albumin hut no fat The
germs naturally contained in the
milk stayed back with the fat but
the power to kill bacteria remained
in the clear filtrate. This was
proved by adding germs to tbe fil-
trate, which destroyed them. ,

Dueaie Germs Cannot
Live in Mother’s Milk
Scientists have known for some
time that babies fed on mother's
milk were protected in some mys-
terious fashion from various dis-
eases such as whooping cougn,
measles, diphtheria and the like.
Now It appears that the motheffs
milk actually has the power of
killing disease germs. Dr. Fried-
rich Schlaeppl, bacteriologist at
Berioe, Switzerland, has experi-
mented with .milk from nursing
mothers and found that the milk
has this bactericidal power to a
very high degree. If tbe milk is
kept at a mean temperature this
power may be demonstrated for
sixty hours er more. Such bac-
teria as get Into ft are at least
vwy much retarded in their de-
velopment if not actually killed.

VICTORIA, Tex., Sept. 5.—A ve-
ry large gray hat led to the ar-
rest or Brown Shadle, 22. of F.’
Campo here Tuesday by Sheriff R.
S. Weislger on a charge of bur -
glary preferred against him - at
Sinton, where he is alleged to
have stolen a pistol from H. Q.
Hollan’s hotel 700m. Hollan form-
erly was a constable here. Sheriff
Frank Hunt of San Patricio Coun
ty will come here for the youth.
The only description the autho-
rities here received of Shadle
was that he was wearing a big
gray hat, was of dark complexion-
and had on a brown suit. Sheriff
Weisiger took him tnto custody as
he was waiting to board a bus for
I El Campo. He had on a blue suit
but his hat was. so large that
Sheriff Weisiger decided to ar-
rest him even if his suit was off-
color. The youth had something
wrapped in a newspaper, and when
the sheriff found it to be a pair
of browrn pants, he w£-s sure c2
his man. ' ■
“That boy had on the bigges
hat I ever saw,” said Sheriff Wei
siger. t‘It was bigger than the
hat President Coolidge wore in
South Dakota and so large he had
to take it off to enter the jail. It
was fully a 20-gallon bonnet.”
