Atlantic City, N. J.—The National
Prohibition convention concluded ita
labors here Saturday with the nomina
tion of the party atandard bearers of
four yeare ago Eugene W. Chafin, of
Arizona, for preaident, and Aaron S.
Watkina, of Ohio, for vice preaident.
In each caae the nomination waa made
by acclamation after a aingle ballot

delegatee.
Four candidates for preaident were

aa. Each in turn withdrew hie name
after the first ballot.
The leading candidatea againat Mr.
Watkina for vice preeident were Mr.
Emereon, of California and George E.
Stockwell, of New York. Mr. Chafin,
addreeaing the convention, promised
not to stand for a third nomination.
Because of a ruah to adjourn, the plan
to change the name of the party waa
not taken up for general discussion.
A. J. Orem, of Maaaachuaetta, in a
brief apeech, promised to pledge more
money to the campaign fund should
the name be changed.
“1 believe We could make the' cam
paign doubly effective if we ahould
adopt a new name," aaid Mr. Orem.
"We would be greatly aided in carry
ing our banner to aucceaa if we ahould
adopt the name ’Progressive.' ”
There were ahouta of proteat to thia

LORIMER FIGHTS BACK.
Makes Vigorous Attack Upon Enemies
Before Senate.
Waahington, D. C.—Senator Lori
mor Friday began hie speech defend- [
ing hie right to his seat. He followed
Henator Reed of Miseouri, who had
made a bitter attack upon aim and hie
election by the Illinois legislature.
The senate chamber filled up slowly
under the call for a quorum, but only
Ml senators answered to their names.
The senate galleries were not half
filled.
Ao Henator Ixirimur began his
speech, he read from manuscript and
his voice was for the first few sen
tences somewhat indistinct.
He de
clared that he proposed to give the
senate an insight into the character of
the men who, he aaid, had tried to
ruin him.
"It is true that the senate has the
right to deny me a seat in thio body,"
he began, "on the flimsiest pretext or
on no pretext at all. I intend to show
that no vote cast for me was influ
enced by fraud.
"Mr. President," he said in meas
ured tones, "thio is no joke.
This Io
a solemn and seriods question. If the
senate decides to follow the views of
the minority of thio investigating
committee, it will be travesty on civ
ilised jurisprudence, a mockery of jus
tice. It will be a declaration that the
senate has decided to follow the red
flag; that it has become the advocate
of anarchy; has adopted the doctrine
of the recall as advocated by Its arch
chumpioa."
Senator Ixtrlmar departed from
bis manuscript for a moment to refer
to the Chicago newspapers.
He de
clared certain of the newspaper own
ers and publishers there would be in
prison If the public prosecutors had
been uctive. Finally he discarded hie
manuscript and took a place in the
center aisle from which he could be
heard on both sides of the chamber.
Senator Lorimer charged that while
the Tribune property was worth from
$7,000,000 to $10,000,000, it paid
taxes on only $420,000.
He called
these newspapers "robbers of the pub
lic treasury of Chicago."
He at
tacked Victor l.awson of the News,
and charged that the News occupied
school land at a rental of $1 a square
foot and paid no taxes, while less val
uable land across the street rented for
$3.60 a foot.
Mr. Ix>rimer charged that Mr. Law-
son had secured unlawful reductions in
taxes upon his home and business
property and added that Mr. Lawson
was trying to drive him out of public
life.
Mr. Ixtrimer declared that erroneous
statements had been sent out to the
world by the newspaper agencies.
He referred to what he termed the
control of news sources by Victor
Lawson, Melville E. Stone and Frank
B. Noyes, who formerly ran the Rec
ord-Herald for Mr. Lawson.
Quoting Mr. Taft's letter to Colonel
Roosevelt in which the president ex
pressed the belief that Iorimer should
be ousted, Lorimer complained of his
treatment by Mr. Taft.
"I have no ill will or bitterness in
my heart toward any senator who
voted against me in the last conrgess,
but it does hurt me that 1 should have
been tried by the president or the ex
president of the United States, ” he
said bitterly.

teresting to their pupils by using
problems on the application of the
Babcock milk test was shown to the
teachers attending the summer session
at the Oregon Agricultural college in
a lecture by Prof. F. L. Kent, of the
dairy department.
He first gave a
demonstration of the test, that all
might understand iu workings clearly.
"The Babcock test baa done more to
revolutionise dairying than any other
one thing in a quarter of a century,"
aaid Prof. Kent in introduction. "With
it and the cream separator, dairying
has been put on a very different basis
than before. In nearly all the discus
sions of milk and its handling you
hear something of the fat content, and
the Babcock test is the one commonly
used to find this content.
The man
who supplies milk to a retailer does
so under the Babcock test.
"The test bottle in which the sam
ple of milk is measured holds an ounce
and a half, and has a graduated scale
on the long neck to aid in reading the
fat content.
There are two sources of error,
some bottles being incorrectly grad
uated on this scale, and some being
inaccurate in site.
A definite quan
tity of milk must be taken to make
the test, and a pipette (a glass tube
larger in the middle, and graduated)
is used to suck up the sample from the
container. The milk to be tested is
poured from one cup to another sever
al times, to make sure that it is of an
even quality throughout, and has no
cream standing on top.
"A third glass measure is used to
measure the acid necessary for the
test. These three pieces of glass and
the centrifugal motion whirler make
up the outfit for the test. Since the
glassware is unpatented, it is all
practically the same, but the machines
for whirling the bottles are of differ
ent types.
"The pipette takes up 18 grams, or
16.6 cubic millimeters of milk, which
is put into the teat bottle. Then com
mercial sulphuric acid is added, to
about the same quantity as the milk,
to dissolve ail the ingredients of the
milk except the fat. setting that free
so that it can rise into the neck of the
bottle. The milk and acid are mixed
by a rotary motion of the bottle to get
a uniform color, a rich, dark brown,
so that the acid may act on all the
milk.
"After the test bottles are put into
the whirler they are in motion about
five minutea. Jersey milk generally
runs as much as 50 per cent higher in
fat content than the Holstein.
The
Ayrshire has a medium fat content of
3.5 to 4 per cent.
The Holstein has
about 3 per cent as a rule. When the
test bottle is taken from the whirler,
enough hot water is added to allow
the fat to rise well up in the tube, and
the sample is whirled again. When it
is taken out finally, the fat shows in a
clear yellow band in the neck of the
bottle. The best way of measuring it
accurately is by measuring with a
pair of dividers the band of fat, then
putting one leg of the dividers on
xero, and the upper leg will indicate
the precise per cent of fat content of
the milk in each 18 grams.
"The Babcock test is being used as
one of the regular demonstrations in
schools where agriculture is being in
troduced. Teachers can get accurate
glassware by having it tested by the
state experiment station, or by 'insist
ing that the manufacturers guarantee
the goods. It should be pointed out
that one source of errors in the test is
in the taking of the sample.
Wheri
taken with a spoon from the top of a
pan after the milk has stood, the fat
content will be inordinately high.
“The Babcock test is one of the
best ways of teaching perenentage in
arithmetic classes. For example, if a
cow produces 56 pounds of milk a day,
which tests 2.6 per cent, her produc
tion is 1 456 pounds of fat a day. If
a cow gives 42 pounds, but the test is
3.5 per cent, she will give 1.47 pounds
of fat. Carrying the problem out by
means of daily records to the end of
the month, a cow producing 725
pounds in a month with a test of 3.5
per cent, will give 25.375 pounds of
fat a month.
Or, a cow giving 42
[xiunds n day, produces 1,260 pounds a
month, which, at a test of .035, gives
44.1 pounds of fat a month. The
problems may further be elaborated
by finding the gain in dollars, suppos
ing the value of the butter fat on the
market to be, say, 27 cents a pound.
By using the cost of feed and other
items, further complications and vari
ations of the problems can be made.
"These problems will help, no
doubt, in moulding the attitude of the
parents toward the school and the
common branches—a farmer sees more

Thus such an application of the Bab

boys and keep them in school longer,
but may benefit the whole community.
"Nearly all of our farm dairies of
any site keep a milk or cream separa
tor, and the cream is, for the most
part, sold to the creameries and
cheese factories.
The injustice of
paying all farmers alike for the same
weight of milk or cream, is evident
when one remembers that 100 pounds
of cream testing 20 per cent means
but 20 pounds of fat, while 100
pounds testing 45 per cent means 45
pounds of fat. Holstein milk is gen
erally about 8.4 per cent butter fat,
and Jersey 5.5 per cent."
Prof. Kent then explained the prin
ciples of the cream separator, and
shiiwed how it saved the washing of
the large number of pans necessary
where the cream is allowed to rise and

cream taken from the milk may be

America’s Score Largest
Stockholm, July 11.—Tbe scores
in the Olympic games aa announced
tonight are:
United States, 72
points; Great Britain, including
colonies, 65; Sweden, 57; Germany,
24; France, 18; Russia, including
Finland, 20; Denmark, 7; Norway,
7; Italy, 5; Hungary, 4; Belgium,
Greece and Austria, 3 each; Hol-
land, 2.
Stockholm, July 11.—The finals in
six events were completed at the
Olympic today and of tbe 36 points
tbe United States scored 13, England
6, Germany 6, Canada 3, Australia, 3,
Finland 3 and France 2.
Tbe United States and Germany had
the honor of making a clean sweep in
the weight-putting and 200 meters
swimming, back stroke, respectively.
England won the greatest race of the
Olympic so far —the 1600-meter run,
in which the Oxonian, Jackson, broke
the record by more than six seconds.
Finland won the 5000 meters in a
splendid struggle
against France,
while the Canadian, Hodgson, brought
glory to the Dominion by his victory
in the 1500-meter swimming contest
in which he hung up three records.
Perhaps never before have there
been two such contests as the 5000-
meter and 1500-meter runs on tbe
same day.
In the latter it was a gruelling con
test from start to finish.
Abel R.
Kiviat and Norman S. Taber, tbe
American representatives, came into
the stretch together. Jackson all tbe
way round tbe last lap went at a ter
rific pace, passing the four men in or
der to get up with the leaders. With
Kiviat slightly in advance ten yards
from the tape, Jackson fairly leaped
ahead and fell exhausted in to tbe
arms of bis friends. So close was tbe
race for second place between Kiviat
and Taber the judges reserved their
decision until a photograph of the fin
ish was developed before announcing
second and third man.
This Olympic is proving that Great
Britain and the United States must
waive their traditional monopoly of
field sports since other nationalities
have set themselves seriously to dem
onstrate that they are possessed of as
much muscle and endurance as the
pioneers in field athletics.
