MARYS OF WOODSTOCK, 46 20 by Tom Bolger, Jr. For fifteen minutes and fortyseven seconds McHenry High's basketball team held St. Mary's of Woodstock scoreless in a basketball pme at McHenry Tuesday night. With only thirteen seconds remaining in the first half, Dick Hurley sank a free throw to tfnake the score 32 - 1 at the intermission. McHenry opened the second half with a revised lineup that found Bolger and Conway at forwards, Still- ! ing at center and Peterson and Jackj son at guards. This combination , worked out "okey" but lacked the fast They say that politics make strange j break that results from the quick , _ fg^outs of Conway and Stilling from their guard posts. Joe Jackson again paced McHenry with twenty-one points, eighteen of ""hieh Wr?re made in the first half. Dick Conway made fiv:? baskets out of but seven shots. Bob Stilling turned Bed-fellows.

Freund, Jr. rolled a 202 Egg Hatchability It Effected by Hinjlmg The hatching power of eggs can be completely destroyed by improper care while they are being held before being incubated, cautions E. M. Funk, University of Missouri, Columbia. He names the three things most likely to cause a reduction in hatchability during the time eggs are held as: too high or too low a temperature, holding the eggs too long, and rough handling. For best results hatching eggs should be held where the temperature is fairly uniform and between 50 and 60 degrees. The embryo begins development at temperature above 68 degrees, and such development weakens # the erftbryos and thereby lowers hatchability. The embryos of eggs held at low temperatures are also weakened, and hatching results are lowered or destroyed. Eggs held for only a few days at temperatures as low as 35 degrees, or as high as 85, will not hatch. A basement or cellar is a good place to hold batching eggs because such rooms usually have a high humidity and a low temperature. A dry room will cause the eggs to shrink, and the size of the chicks hatched from such eggs to be small. Turning is not neeessary unless the eggs are held for more than one week. Eggs may be turned by tilting the egg case in which they are held. The hatchability of eggs is greatly reduced by rough bj^DdJUngT' Eggs should be packed in cases with the small end down, and handled so there will be but little jarring of the case. Many poultrymen favor the 15-dozen cardboard cases for delivering eggs to hatcheries. 41 461 St. Mary's 0 1 11 20 j Free throws missed--McHenry, 16; ' St Mary's 9.

Major Iadastry The exportation of canned pineapple and pineapple juice is ft major industry of Hawaii. The exports ter 1940 were valued at $54,000,000. George Larkin of Crystal Lake spent the weekend at his home here. Agricultural Income in N 1940 Topi' for Decade American agriculture's income in 1940, including cash received from the government, exceeded any year's earnings of the past decade with the possible exception of 1937. About $9,000,000,000 flowed into the pockets of farmers from sale of their products and from government benefit checks. Cash income last year was $>3,500,000,000 and in 1929 $11,200,000,000. Despite loss of most of the already restricted foreign market for farm products, farmers found themselves protected from the shock of the European war's disruption of trade partly by the very fact that their business abroad has been poor in fecent years. A national farm economy built along domestic lines to bolster farmers' income through depression years was converted in 1940 into an insulator against the international trade paralysis of the new war. There was a sensational farm commodity price collapse coincident with the fall of France. But, to a large extent, this represented only the pricking of a speculative bubble and it left prices of many commodities at levels little, if any, lower than those of recent years. When this speculative war boom faded, it was replaced with the more reliable, broader, demand generated through swelling payrolls and as national rearmament gained momentum and domestic consumer buying power revived. Pygmies In America? Die late Dr. Henry Fairfield Oeborn, noted scientist, claimed that there existed in North America about the hiiddle of the Pliocene period, a high form of Anthropoid, with a leaning to the human side, to which he gave the name Hesperopithecus. Great Indian migrations of prehistoric times, shown on mapped illustrations of the Smithsonian institution, might have some bearing OC the race of people from which this specimen came. Those maps reveal the routes by which prehistoric tribes marched for generations from west ef the Mississippi toward the Atlantic ocean, pioneering in exactly the opposite d&eetion taken by the whites.

The caves were shelters for all sorts of queer people during the Middle ages. They are in a long ridge of sandstone known as Kniver Edge. In the last century a builder turned them into bouses. The fronts were built ol rough stone and the parts of the roofs projecting from the front of the caves were covered with heavy stone slabs.

He captured some bees, rubbed honey on his head and hoped they would sting him and thus raise bumps^-but the bees died. "*^8 He placed a thin mattress on a floor and lay upon his back for nearly 50 hours "to relax niy bones." Then he had .his father and brother carry him stretched out on an improvised stretcher to the New York university gymnasium where the firemen's examination was being held. Just before he get off the stretcher he struck, htamlf on the head twice with a wooden mallet and raised two skable bumps. The map w^th the measuring machine infbrftled the youth he had gained fiVe-eighths of an inch, but •till was a half inch below standard. Gino pdssed the other physical tests, however, and was given conditional approval--provided that he can stretch that other half inch within six months.4 £> . f FALLS "ON STAIRS ero a ^6mmon cause of accidents.
