Nine schools have entered the league and the teams are divided into a southern | and northern group. Mid-week games | are planned in order that the entire! schedule may be covered before the schools close for the summer. Local high school boostrs are at- tempting the formation of a similar| league of the schools in this district and it is suggested that the schedule could be worked out to advantage by arranging mid-week games in addi- tion to the week-end games. It is likely that this plan will be agreed upon, since a number of the schools feel that the schedule could not be covered otherwise. WHALEY_RETURNS FROM MOVIE OWNERS’ MEETING Oliver Whaley of the Harding- Whaley Co. returned this morning from Minneapolis where he attended the convention of the Minnesota Mo- tion Picture Theater Owner’s asso- ciation, held the first part of the week. He reports a very business- like convention and states that the convention held no discussion re- garding the showing of “Fatty” Ar- buckle films, since that meeting was ended before the result of Arbuckle’s trial had been made known.

Liquid air for cracking nuts is the latest application of sclence. Experts of the national bureau of standards were appealed to for a method of breaking the shells of the chicha nuts, without damaging the kernels. They found that it took a weight of nearly a tou to crack the nuts, and that after that effort the meat of the nut was broken in many small pleces. Phen they applied liquid air to the problem. They did not freeze solid a plece of rubber and use it for a ham- mer, as Is done In the classic stunt of physies classes, but, they simply im- mersed the nuts In Jiquid air for 30 seconds and cracked them easily, with- out damaging the kernels. Now the physicists are trying to find out wheth- er this method can be applied com- mercially on a large scale. Chicha nuts are grown in South America. Their dense strong shells were used during the war to make charcoal for gns masks and the ofl from the kernels is a valuable food, similar to copra.—Science Service.

CENSUS TAKEN BY ANCIENTS Records Show That Babylonia Had Figures Made in Connection With Country’s Fiscal Control. ‘When and where was the first census taken?

There are at the British museum some of the | returns of a later census in Babylonia | ir: the form of a part of 30.000 tablets dated some 2,500 to 2,300 B. C. These of the temple property, with agricul- ture, stock raising, and the produce of farms and gardens.
