EXPERIMENT SHOWS EFFECT OF WIND ON GROWING TREES
Minneapolis, (S.S.—An experiment to determine the effect of wind strain on the growth of trees is being carried on by Dr.W. S. Cooper of the University of Minnesota botany department. He has placed thirty-five young Monterey cypress trees in large flower pots. A sliding frame, driven by a small motor, is attached to the trunks of the trees. The motor causes the frame to slide back and forth, and this makes the trees sway as if in the wind.
Doctor Cooper found that until recently, the trees were adding wood and getting thicker at right angles to the strain instead of along the plane of wind pressure. However, in the past few months, a slight change has been taking place. There is evidence to show that in the trunk of each tree, above the point of contact with the frame, the wood is becoming thicker in the plane of the wind strain as was originally expected.

WARNING IS GIVEN DEALERS AGAINST SCALE MECHANICS
Washington.—Warning against itinerant scale mechanics who often damage weighing devices while pretending to repair them was issued to the National Conference on Weights and Measures.
De Forest McLin, inspector of weights and measures for Huntington County, Ind., described some of the sharp practices of travelling mechanics who sometimes pose as inspectors to win the confidence of unaware merchants. By tampering with the scale in some way or using test weights that are not correct, the bogus repairman often convinces the owner that he is short weighing the public.
Engineers Are Unselfish,
Horning Says at Meeting
White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.-The world's most unselfish man is the engineer, and the best way to treat him is to fire him. At least, that's what H. L. Horning told the Society of Automotive Engineers meeting here, in discussing unemployment among technical men, which, he stated, was not a serious problem.
"No class of men live and serve with such unselfish devotion as those in technical pursuits" Mr. Horning said.
teachmew people.
"Thethey have in their makeup a strong philosophical viewpoint which keeps them from the meaner passions of men. Their feelings go deep and unheeded, for they have a rather undeveloped means of expression."

Hone Supports Hoover Action
Garden City, Ks.—Congressman Clifford R. Hope of the seventh district believes President Hoover made a "master stroke" with his suggestion of a war debt moratorium.
"I believe this section of Kansas will benefit materially from such a moratorium," Congressman Hope said, "through increased prices for agricultural products." Hope sent a telegram to President Hoover promising to give his support to any legislative action needed to put the moratorium into effect.

SCIENTIST SAYS COMMERCE DEPENDS ON MEASUREMENTS
Washington.—Commerce is the exchange of measured things, said H. D. Hubbard of the U. S. Bureau of Standards in a radio talk given under the auspices of Science Service over the
network of the Columbia Broadcasting System.
Mr. Hubbard contrasted the measuring instruments used in different places and at different times, for the simple notched stick of primitive peoples to the interferometer, which is so exact that it can measure the diameter of a star which appears as a dimensionless point of light even in the most powerful telescopes.
