Bureau of Markets Work Is Explained by Prof. Mix Government Inspectors Aid the Growers of Produce and Commission Houses Testing and analyzing both field and transit rots in garden and orchard products that were shipped into New York, was the main part of the work of A. J. A. Mix of the department of botany, while he was in New York last winter, under the direction of the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Industry. After he left New York Professor Mix was sent to Florida, where he was stationed at a government field post in connection with experiments in the lettuce and celery industry. He has just recently resumed his work in the department of botany at the University. Professor Mix did was in connection with the produce that was sold to the navy for use on the troop transports. It seemed that the commission men had been in the habit of unloading all their poor produce on the navy, making the navy loss amount to thousands of dollars a month. As soon as they began inspecting the goods the producer of poor quality was turned down and large sums were saved on the navy rations. In all the large terminal cities into which large quantities of garden and orchard products are shipped, the government has stationed an inspector who is the connecting link between the shipper and the commission man. If the commission man refuses a shipment of produce saying that it is spoiled, or if he takes it only as a lower grade than the shipper classes the goods, he can call for an inspection by the government inspector, who will determine whether the spoilage was caused by field or transit rot, about what per cent of the produce is spoiled and will advise terms of settlement. Professor Mix and other men in the laboratory in New York tested all the produce that was brought up for inspection and then advised the inspector. They also gave weekly lectures to the inspectors on spoilage causes and effects so that they would be more efficient in their work. This work is a new branch of government work and is proving so profitable, both to the government itself and to the farmer and the commission man, that it is probable that it will be made permanent and will be gradually enlarged. The government now has established laboratories at Chicago and New York and an inspector from these stations goes out on inspection tours about once a month to the large cities in his district and advises the inspectors at those points in the latest developments that have been worked out in the laboratories. A large portion of the work that Rhythm Important Part in Penmanship Classes "Rhythm in Handwriting" is the title of an article by Prof. Hubert W. Nutt, principal of Oread Training School, in the March number of the Elementary School Journal, published by the University of Chicago School of Education. The article deals with the importance of rhythmic organization of the writing practice adolescent children. According to Professor Nutt, rhythm may be made to contribute effectively to quality of penmanship through the proper use of rhythmic drills adapted to the different types of letters.

STREET See them in our window Lowly English Sparrow Praised by Zoologist "The English sparrow is not entirely a nuisance as many people think, but has several very commendable characteristics," says Mrs. Bessie Douthitt, Instructor in the department of zoology. The sparrow eats the canker worms on the elm trees, she says, and also many of the wolly caterpillars. Practically the only objection the farmers have to sparrows is that they carry chicken mites. Mrs. Douglas says the sparrows drive away other birds, and does not believe they do so. Mrs. Douthitt has a collection of about seventy-five sparrows which she is dissecting and comparing with other species of birds. She shot these last summer, starting her hunt at Menken a short distance northwest of Topeka, and going to Geneseo, in Rice County, about the center of the state.
