Automatic Machine Hailed as Revolution in Farming World Apparently, the automatic plow, the tractor that works itself, is quite simple, much moro . so than preliminary notices said of il. A moro detailed report says it is constructed of three pieces of -wood,- u few bolts, a spring, a piece of aluminum- shaped liko a huge spoon. It was hailed at the Nebraska Agricultural College as a potential revolution iu the farming world. It will enable tho tiller of the soil to go to thc cinema or drink cider or sleep, while his fields are being plowed. It will soon bo put on tho market at a cost if a few dollars. IL is tho Invention of F. L. Zybach of' Grand Island Neb. To use this device, a fanner .must first altach a plow Lo his tractor ancl cut a furrow around the outer rim of \uH field, making the corners rounded Instead of square. Then he fastens Zybaeh's invention to the steering wheel of tho tractor, pulling the spoon-end in the furrow. He starts the tractor, climbs out. The' tractor, guided along the furro'w by Zybaeh's invention, continues to make shorter and shorter trips around the field, untiri*\ corneil to a stop in the.middle. Tests of tho device, it is declared, produced plowing like clockwork.- But when Zybaeh was first experimenting with a crude model, his neighbors warned liini not Lo lot tho tractor get loose and destroy any of their property. Once he set tho machine to plow, all night. The neighbors came over at midnight and implored him to stop it. French Doctors Would Have New Vaccine Given to All Children The success obtained by the use of the antituberculosis vaccine developed by Dr. Albert .Calmetle of the Pasteur Institute has led to a movement among French medical authorities In favor of the universal vaccination of, children. Results just tabulated up to tho present year show that from 21 000 cases of vaccination with tho Calmetle vaccine, which is known as "BCG," there have occurred only 1 per cent, of deaths from tuberculosis, while the tubercular mortality among unvaccinated children Is--shown by medical statistics to reach 28 per cent. Professor Calmetto explains that his vaccino does not inoculate the patient with thc disease, but "suggests" the disease and rouses anti- tubercular bacilli to activity. ���', This lias been done through use of vaccine obtained-through-reducing the virulence of the tuberculosis bacilli by the inbreeding of weakened bacilli until an innocuous vaccine is evolved which is only strong enough to suggest tuberculosis in tho system.' Early experiments were made with laboratory animals, and then with monkeys, over a period of thirteen years before the scientists of Pasteur Institute felt sure enough of the harmlessness of the vaccine, to test tho effect upon man. Thc vaccino need not be injected, but may be administered in foQd. Despite the apparent success, of this vaccine, French doctors report a general hostility upon the part of the public to anti-tubercular vaccination, the same objections being advanced as those opposing vaccination for smallpox and typhoid. But an increasing ni&uber of physicians are becoming interested and the use of the vaccine has. already spread to all countries of Europe..

Repainting tho buoys is not such a simple job as it .sounds, for these . are the signposts of the sea roads, and upon their accurate colors and markings anil shapes, depends tho safety of sea-going vessels, conveying as they do many and varied meanings to the ��� mariner.

Experiments Yield : Remarkable Results Famous Surgeon Sees Hope of Immun- . ity From Cancer' "I am-in hopes that means o'f immunizing people against cancer will be . discovered," said. Dr. William J. Mayo, American surgeon, in an interview at London. Ho is visiting this country to exchange views .with loading surgeons and physicians. He cited tlio extraordinary results of ihe experiments carried oui by Dr. Maud Slye, Chicago woman doctor, who is able, he said," by selective breeding, tu 'breed mice whicli will in no -circumstances develop cancer despiie all efforts to introduce It into them. On the other hand, she is.able ho declared, to'hreeiV.inice-which will inevitably be born with cancer. "These experiments," said Dr. .Mayo, "with lho others conducted hy Dr. Gyc and Professor Blair Dell lead logically to the Idea of cancel- prevention as well as the discovery of the cause. Medical science has massive evidence to prove that tho relict' of all sources of chronic irritation does much to , prevent cancer and that early operatiDns effect cures." Amazing Medical Apparatus Made by German Scicntis';' ' An amazing medical ��� apparatus whicli automatically signals whether one Is in good health.' or not has reached London, and is being used with remarkable success by a West .End specialist. Named th0 Odoscope, it. is the invention of a German scientist, aud in certain circumstances enables ordinary, diagnosis to be entirely dispensed witli, A pressure of the finger on a tiny hole and the instrument instantly records with unerring accuracy the state of the patient's health. An interested enquirer who tested U found that ho was deficient in three important salts. Not only that, but the apparatus actually traced out1 in alphabetic character tho {lash or sign of tlio salt in question. The'miracle machine, is tho result of a long scries of experiments based upon the discovery that in the sun, air and earlh and in the protoplasmic organization of man,, the creation and death of all life is dependent upon 111 different rays. In tlio Odoscope there are 111 tiny holes, each ono of which tells by\ vibrations whicli bioclic salts are deficient in tlie blood of the individual' signalling, and so denotes thc state of the health. -For Rheumatic Pains. ��� Tho pn ins Woman Suffered Nearly a Year.

O Canada's Exports Are IncreaGing at a Rapid Rate "One- of the most notable developments in Canadian industry - is tho steady growth of export trade ancl, wllh liiis progress, improved shipping and banking facilities, increased interest in overseas exhibitions, a more intensive study of foreign markets,, export procedure and export costs," according to the report of the com- morciaHinlelligenco committee of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, presented at the annual convention. Statistics wore given to show that Canada's exports have increased in valuo from $168,92-7,301 in 71900 to ?1,27-1.362,US iii 1926���a gain" of 670 per cenl. During the same time exports of manufactured goods increased 2,92G per cent. and aches of Sciatica and Rheumatism should be treated with Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil.

An Enviable Position Practically no Tuberculosis Among Dairy Cattle in Fraser Valley Dr. W. II. McKenzie, superintendent of the Dominion health of animals branch, in Uritish Columbia, is ot opinion that tuberculosis among dairy, cattle in the Fraser Valley, B.C., will be practically eradicated within a yoar. Last year almost S per cent, were infected on test; this year's inspection showed a reduction of infection to 1.11 per cent. Next year he expects the reactors will be lower than- one-hali of ono per cent, in this area. That is the rate oMcially regarded as T.E. free. Testing of herds fro(u Hope to North Betid has been done, and of tho -12,500 tested this! year only 430 were condemned. Last yoar 1,388 out of 4(5,98!) reacted. This year lie says, farmers in the Fraser Valley, realizing the valuo of healthy herds welcomed tho veterinarians who conducted tho test. The Emden in the Pictures German War Film Being Shown in London Evidence that feeling engendered by the War is dying down is forthcoming from the fact that a German film illustrating the exploits of the Emden is being shown in London by an English firm who are best known as the distributors of the British war .films "Ypres" and "Mons." Somo peoplo consider that Ihey have taken a bold step In booking his wholly German war picture, but the film is so good and so impartial lhat there is n0 reason why British audiences should not welcome it on its merits. Tlie story begins with tho Em- den's departure from Tsinglau at the outbreak of war, and winds up witli a remarkably vivid portrayal of her final, battle witli H.M.S. Sydney, oil Cocos'Island. It is as restrained and as fair as any of tho British war films, and has a stronger narrative force than any except that of Zcebrugge. without any unnecessary exaggeration of the glory or of Lhe horrors of actual fighting, the AVar Is sliown from lhe angle. of lho crew of the German raider, and particularly from that of one young officer, a reservist in business at Tsinglau, who meets his own wife as a passenger on one of the captured British steamers, is put in command of. the captured British crews, and eventually dies during llie bombardment by the Sydney. Enough glimpses of her various exploits are shown lo give ono a pretty good idea of her touch-and-go career, and the co-operation of the Gorfliian admiralty has . ensured an authentic .naval atmosphere. One episode is omitted. That is tho interval during the Cocos Battle when the Sydney; seeing the Emden hopelessly stranded, went off to capture her coal tender, the Buresk. before returning to enforce on Captain Von Mailer an honorable surrender. The British arc treated quite fairly; there is no "hate" anywher in the picture.���-London Correspondence In Free Press. Dipped Tires When you tour on Gum-Dipped Tires all roads seem equally good. There is nothing to compare with thc smooth, sure performances of these big, low- pressure tires. Jolts' and vibrations disappear. Stretches of rough going cannot disturb you or harm the mechanism and well-built structure of your, car. If it is slippery and muddy underfoot, Gum-Dipped Tires; having double the road contact, cling to the road and hold the car unwaveringly to a true, straight course. On grades there is extra traction; at sharp curve's, or in quick stops you will havc perfect control of wheel and brake. Skidding is almost impossible. Through the development of thc exclusive Gum-Dipping process, Firestone has tremendously increased tire mileage in balloon tires. This insulates and impregnates every fibre of every cord with rubber, reduces internal heat and friction and delivers thousands of extra miles with added comfort and safety. Ask any Firestone Dealer to show you the structure of Balloon Gum-Dipped Tires and to tell you their advantages.

Brief Facts About Fairbanks' "Don Q? ���*.*(' The new Douglas Fairbanks screen feature "Don Q, Son of Zorro" is, a supreme melodrama. .'���.._ It is a modern story, laid in Spain, with - most- of * - the action taking place in Madrid. . * ' Action-plus, with lightning sword- play, stunts, athletic achievements humor and romance merge ceaselessly. The scenic background is the most elaborate and pretentious imaginable for the period. Fairbanks leaps as it were from castle to castle. The plot is founded on "Don Q's Love Story" by K. and Hesketh Prich- ard, adapted for the screen by Jack Cunningham. Thc story positively has nothing to do with the Cervantes hero, "Don Quixote" or his windmill troubles. Mary Astor,u young, beautiful and accomplished, has the leading femin-1 ine role.
