The storm destroyed all remaining vestiges of vegetation and killed many cattle. Successive shocks were also felt at Phllippopblls, Tapazli, Tchirpan and Staratogora.

He had the chemical department in one place, the tesing apparatus in another, and the refining ma chinery in still another place. These are all to be assembled under one roof, by the time of mint harvest next summer. Thus Salem is to have a full fledged peppermint oil refinery. Tbe place has not yet been se lected. Mr. Herrold has several places under consideration. Can Handle It All The cspacity of the refinery will be 400 pounds a day. This will be sufficient to handle the whole crop of this section. Last year, the Willamette valley and the district on the Washington side of the Columbia r:ver. opposite the Oregon shore, produced about 125,000 pounds of peppermint oii from about 3500 acres of land. The major part of it was produced in the Salem district. The value of the crop was around' half a million dollars. Without running over time.

AP) The treatment of fertilized hens eggs by x-ray so that only female chickens can" be batched was one of a series of remarkable experiments described to the Associated Press today for the first time by Dr. William H. Dleffenbach of the Flower hospital. Tbe experiments extending three years he said, nave nrougni iu light that chickens hatched from ;ggs which have been exposed to :-ray show certain marked Popul arities. Exposures up to several hours produce chickens with de formities or mutilations from nor mally inherited . characteristics such as absence of wings. In many instances, he explained. these mutations are for the better and tend to create' a new and im proved species of chickens. Dr. Dieffeabacb and his assistants in the New "York homepathic college and Flower hospital regard the results of, the experiments of extraordinary importance to the scientific world, involving factors of great interest to the ' general public as well. To the scientist. Dr. Dieffenbach believes his discoveries hold out the definite prospect of reaching the ultimate goal of all biological science, the control and under- Standing of the life force itself. To the general public they promise in the near future bigger chickens, better eggs and more of them. The most startling revelations were reached by gradually increas ing the "dosage" of x-ray. A defin ite deviation from the normal sex ration in chickens hatched from x-rayed eggs was noted and the change was all in favor of the fe males. In other words the longer the eggs remained in the range of tbe x-rays the larger was the percent age of females hatched. The fact was easier to find than explanation. One explanation sug gested by scientists who have ex amined the experiments,- Is that the powerful rays succeed even tually in destroying the male pro ducing chromosome within the fer tilized eggs. That would sound like additional proof that the fe male Is hardier than the male even when it is only a germ cell, but Dr. Dieffenbach Is inclined to ap proach that solution of the phe nomena with caution. Three years ago Dr. Dieffen bach who is one of the most fa mous American specialists in electro-therapeutics, undertook a ser ies of experiments to determine the effects of x-ray on the human body. He believed that the' full benefit of x-ray had never been realized and he decided to start at the beginning. For this purpose he began ex posing ordinary eggs of Plymouth Rock hens to x-ray and observing tbe results. He found that he was producing new species of chickens. some of them deformed and others showing notable Improvements. He succeeded in obtaining hens which were above normal weight and combining certain physical muta tions which enabled them to begin laying eggs sooner than their sis ters of equal age whose germ cell had lacked the benefits of x-ray. tn general however, the results obtained by the lower "dosages" of x-ray . were abnormalities.' and (ConltBaed from pg 7.)

If Governor Alfred E. Smith oi New York carries California's 2 delegates his political strength will be Increased to the extent of probably assuring his nomination, political observers agree. Should Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, or Senator Thomas J.
