PAGE EIGHT HEPPNriR GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1937. PINTO-POINTS From The Hehisch The indoor relay carnival was one of my objectives while in Portland last week end, and it was well worth the dollar of which they relieved me before permitting my entrance. Sponsored by Hill Military academy, tV.i mpot has the lareest indoor en try list in the world, including both wpd and college trackmen. x Five world champions were among the entries in the largest indoor meet west of the Mississippi: Glen Cun nWham. miler: Gene Venske, 1500 meter champion; Norman Bright, 5000 meter champ : George Varoff, nole vault title holder; and Cornelius Johnson, who holds the high jump record. The first three men ran in the invitational Glen Cunningham Mile. In this race with just a lap to go, the champion miler had just started his famous home-stretch sprint when he hit a soft spot in the track, and although not tailing to the ground, he was forced back to third place. Bright and Venske were alreadv sprinting, and the ex Kansas trackman was unable to overtake the two leaders. Bright, Venske, and Cunningham finished first, second, and third, respectively. The events which held my interest were the pole vault and the high jump. Varoff vaulted fourteen feet, three inches, clearing it easily, but as he was favoring his right leg, Bill Hayward, Oregon track coach, de cided that his pupil had better call it a day. The ducky Californian, Cornelius Johnson, easily outclassed his opponents, his highest jump reaching six feet, six inches; but as it was an exhibition; he also decided to. call it quits for the evening. "The local high school baseball team has six games scheduled, and from all indications it looks as if that is the extent of it. As lone and probably Lexjngton are not putting out teams, the competition stand point offers a serious problem, the nearest competitor being Hermiston. Six games is' not a very strenuous schedule, but trv as they may, Hepp ner's promising baseball nine will probably have to be content with opposition in the form of only six contests. ' Some of the bovs in the intra mural softball league surely do sock the ball around the horse corral at the rodeo grounds. Outstanding tal ont Vino elinwn nn in these games, es oeciallv in the out-field. When a fly comes out their way, lower classmen snare them like veterans of the old school. Texas leaguers . . . Sunday's pa pers stated that the Walla Walla team was endeavoring to win the state title for their coach, more than for themselves. Local track turn out is far larger than last year's a few of the boys seem to think the arena a place in which to loaf, but most of them work industriously at it . . . shortage of pitchers is a prob lem facing Coach Tetz. Rumors have it that an independent baseball team is being organized. The track team has a stiff schedule ahead of it. This Saturday Heppner people will get their first taste of the nation's national game when the Mustangs take on the strong Umatilla squad. The river team, a heavv-hitting' ball club, walloped Arlington 6-0 in a game featuring a pitchers duel. Roberts, Umatilla pitcher, held the Honkers to one hit. This should make Saturday's opener a fast one, promising to be a pitching duel be tween Gilman and Roberts. Faithful Dairy Cow Now Producing Wool Is your new spring outfit made of milk? Sounds like a silly question to ask Milady, but she might in all serious ness answer, yes. For milk is being worn this spring, according to Miss Mariorie Behrens of Baker, sopho more in home economics at Oregon State college, who described the new material and its manufacturing pro cess in a recent talk over the state owned radio station. KOAC, The "casein wool." as the new fi ber is called, can be dyed with wool dyes in all the beautiful new spring colors, and made up in plain or fan cy weaves or knitted. It will not shrink, and is not attacked by moths. It has a nice warm feel, Miss Beh rens says. Its disadvantages are a At Heppner CHURCHES METHODIST CHURCH REV. R. C.

First he recommends correcting any short comings that may be found in the feeding practices or housing facil ities. Clean litter, frequent feeding of green feed, and the careful avoid ance of frightening or overheating the chicks have been found to aid in preventing or reducing cannibal ism. A helpful practice after cannibal ism has started is to darken the brooding chamber by placing black or dark red cloth over the doors and windows, admitting just enough light to permit the chicks to move around. In such darkened quarters they will do a minimum of picking, Knowlton says. Most poultrvmen keep on hand a can of one of the brands of red grease designed to control cannibal ism. At the first sign of picking, this blood-colored, vile-tasting ma terial is smeared generously on not only the chicks that have been pick ed but on a dozen or so that have not. One or two mouthfuls are sufficient to teach most chicks that all that is red is not blood, Knowl ton says, and if started in time this method is often effective in check ing an outbreak of cannibalism.

"The casein is easily extracted from the skim milk by a precipita tion process in a chemical solution," Miss Behrens says in describing the manufacturing process. This white mass is dissolved in an alkali bath and the paste formed is squeezed through exceedingly fine holes or Kninnerettes. The material, then fittingly called vermicelli, is passed through a hardening bath ot chem ical solution and the fiber is formed. Now the processor uses a bit of cun ning and cuts the hair-like filaments into short lengths to give it a wool like appearance. This wool spins well alone or in mixtures due to the regularity and elasticity of the fibers, she says. It may be woven on machinery set un for wool. or. if the fibers are cut to shorter staple leigths, it may be done on cotton machinery, thus keeping the cost of production rea sonably low. The inventor of the new fiber is Comm. Antonio Ferretti of Italy, who realized Italy s need for a new material and brought forth "casein wool," Miss Behrens says. It has passed the experimental stage and is being made on a commercial scale, she says. Chick Cannibalism Prevention Told Although the various causes of cannibalism are not yet thoroughly understood, and no simple, positive remedy" is known, it is a fact that properly fed chicks, housed in good brooder houses providing ample room per chick, generally give less trouble in this respect than those fed improper rations or housed in crowded quarters, says Frank L. Knowlton, professor of poultry hus bandry at O. S. C. Whatever the actual cause of can nibalism. Knowlton beleves that af ter it has once started habit plays a large part in its continuance. For this reason, he savs. it is important to check an outbreak before the chicks learn the habit so thoroughly that it can never be stopped. A number of practices have been found helpful in checking cannibal ism, although none of them are "sure PIANO BARGAIN. Beautiful small size piano like new, also larg er piano must be taken up.

These forecasts have proved to be an ac curate basis on which to plan sum mer water use. Representatives of various cooper ating agencies including the U. S. forest service, U. S. reclamation ser vice, power and light companies, and irrigation districts have been invited to district meetings where Arch Work, superintendent of the Med ford branch experiment station and representatives of the bureau of ag ricultural engineering, and J. ii. Ryan, assistant state engineer, will make reports. The meeting schedule is Medford, April 5; Bend, April 7; Pendleton, April 10, and Walla Walla, April 11. At the Walla Walla meeting repre sentatives from Washington, Idaho, Montana. Wyoming and British Col umbia will also be present to afford a summary of all watersheds of the Columbia. A final state summary will be broadcast over KOAC Mon day evening, April 12, at 7:15 o'clock.
