Answering Your Questions! Myra Fuller, Chicago: Don’t know | if Wayne Morris has a regular girl, but he was squiring a cutie named Mildred to a Hollywood late I spot the other evening. Bruce Cabot is really going in for racing. A horse he just bought in Australia is said to have cost $20,000. Its name is being changed and it will probably see action at Santa Anita. Borrah Minevitch, who makes a harmonica sound like a full symphony orchestra, has written a history of the instrument. The harmonica, he says, is another invention of Benjamin Franklinconceived by that famous American during a trip to London in 1760. Germany perfected the instrument and called it the "Holz- > harmonika". Far from being a musical toy, says Minevitch, the harmonica has had music written for it by Mozart. Beethoven and J. G. Neuman, among others. Chatter. . . . Deanna Durbin’s telephone number is so private that even the publicity boys at Universal are not allowed to have it. . . . Sunburn put Eleanore Whitney in the hospital for three days at Catalina. She is still suffering so much she can hardly rehearse. . . . More fun at the party Ernie Westmore gave the other afternoon. Prankish Donald Barry poured gravy down the host’s back and someone squashed a cake in his face. The whole party showed up later at the Tropics for dinner. . . . Mary Carlisle Is swell in the new Crosby picture, they say. About time she got a break. ... The gal with Buster Keaton at the Hawaiian Paradise was Inez Gorman. You’d never recognize Buster around the late spots these nights. So sedate.

> —♦! ACTIVITIES OF ADAMS COUNTY 4-H CLUBS Roundup Report It thrilled our hearts as wc were gliding along and slowly came to a stop in front of the Union Build-1 ing on Wednesday morning, June 16. We were at the Purdue roundup! First, we registered at the Union building and then got our! sleeping quarters. The visit to the agricultural campus was very interesting. Dr. Robert Withrow explained fully the newest methods of raising plants. In the nutrient solution methods of crop reproduction, plants are grown without soil.. Fine gravel, containing no lime, I is used in place of soil. The fine) gravel is put into a waterproof! box and seed is sown. The chem i ical solution is pumped up into] the box and let down again every two or three hours. An electric time switch is used. The plants may be taken out and examined and put back without wilting. The soft solution is used until the plants have grown the desired height and then the hard solution is used. Plants may be taken I from the solution and put into the i field without harming the plants. I The plants, when in the solution,' grow at a very rapid rate. Dr. Withrow said that one plant grew an average rate of three and onehalf inches per day. The cost is two cents per square foot per season. The solution costs sixty cents per thousand gallons. Several mornings some of us boys took morning swims. On Thursday morning, June 17, the Adams county team entered the judging contest of dairy cattle. Fifty-four teams were entered in ■ this event, and a total of 180 in- , dividuals. We were given three classes of cows to judge, including a class of Guernseys, Jerseys, and Holsteins. There were four cows in each class. We were given about fifteen minutes per class to place the Jerseys and Guernseys and about twenty minutes to place and write the reasons for the placings in the Holstein ciass. Our team ranked thirteenth among the fifty-four entered and Chester i Schwartz was tenth man in individual ranking out of 180 competing. Some very interesting demonI strations were given by the roundup delegates. Union county topped them all by demonstrating on how to maintain an economical ■ cooling tank on every farm. They showed how a series of ordinary barrels connected with pipe, from the water pump to the stock tank | will serve as an efficient cooling 1 facility. Fluent speeches, conspicuous charts, near, formal dress, a fine display of attractively decorated equipment and the practibility of their demonstration helped , those boys immensely in winning. Their demonstration was elaborately worked out and presented. They l were awarded a loving cup and I
