At an average cost of thirty-.seven cents per test, the state division of animal industry tested 2,234,000 cattle for tuberculosis during the past blennium. The preceding biennium shows 1,970,072 tests at an average of 46 . cents each. The saving of nineteen per cent is attributed to the men making more tests per month.

Stubblefield will . be second assistant warden and will have charge of the old penitentiary. At'a meeting of the standardization \ board on prison products the possibility of manufacturing auto license '- plates and soap, as well as numerous ' other articles, at Illinois penal institutions was discussed. Studies of various articles that might be manufactured under the new prison labor law in addition to goods already manufactured have been made by the board. Machinery for making the license plates would cost about $100,000. Soap : manufacture is considered of some ' importance since the state institutions use $175,000 worth of cleansing products annually* Under the new Illinois law, it will be imperative for the state and its political subdivisions to buy Illinois pjrison-made goods in cases where the state can furnish the desired articles. The state department of agriculture announces that peaches from southern Illinois are more plentiful than ever before and the ideal season has given the fruit an unusually desirable flayor and texture.

Rural schools without library facilities may obtain collections of books for the use of their students from the Library Extension division, Springfield. Books for informational as well as recreational reading may be borrowed either singly or in collections, the size being determined by the ^school enrollment. The collections are sent either by express or parcel post, and the cost of shipping is the only expense incurred by the school. Applications for this service should be made to the Division by the teacher, principal, or school director.- Useful Actim Though 1 may not he afrte to Inform men more than they know, yet I may give them the occasion to ^onelder.-- Tern , *•-' • r ,1 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPOC ?

Over four years have elapsed i&inee Lindbergh "hopped off" from Roosevelt field for the first successful nonstop flight to Paris. The tremeudous interest that attended his trans-Atlantic flight has persisted during successive years, owing to a well timed series of aerial accomplishments. These have belied any possibility that the first transcendental exploit merely the result of luck. < ^ Hii-ftood Will frtp< In four years since he .startled" the world he has been the _object of attempted exploitation in every field, desipitt* which he still is best identified for his contributions to aviation. 'After his return to the United States in 1927 he soon embarked on a nation- wide t»urs- under auspice® of the €»u'ggeiihelm fonndatiohv ^'hich filmed to bulW up popular interest in aviation--- in a a$;ord, to help make the public "air minded." This eventful and safe tour was estimated of great , importance as an encouragement to commercial aviation. - " ~f ' Hi^ next great effort) semidjplomat-, lc in character, wa& a "good Will trip" to Mexico apd countries in the Caribbean region. ' - Lindbergh's next important contribution to the progress of aviation was. as ^nsultant engineer In the projeetionvbf transcontiu£ntal Joint air and mall service, which was inaugurated successfully. . " • In 1929 Lindbergh piloted the Inauguration of an air line down the Antilles to Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana, on the north coast of South America. In the next year Lindbergh had a new thrill in store for the country, a feat which he Shared with his wife, Mrs. Ann Morrow Lindbergh, soon to participate in his fortunes on the far eastern flight. : f Set Coast-to-Coast Mark. The couple left Los Angeles In the morning, stopped at Wichita, Ivan., in the afternoon for refueling, and the same night hurtled into Roosevelt field, N. Y„ for a new transcontinental record. The flight of about 2,700 miles was made in 14 hours 45 minutes and 20 seconds, at an average of ISO miles per hour, beating the previous record of Capt. Frank M. Hawks by 2 hours 52 minutes and 44 seconds. ^ -The Lindberghs' transcontinental flight was made at high altitude,* from 10,000 to 15j000 feet, and f6r the announced purpuser "to"test life'"theory" that airplane speed and efficiency are to be sought above storm areas, in -rare atmosphere." This achievement kept th£ Lindberghs at the peak of national esteem, iwrfn a technical as well «s popular 'standpoint. It proved to aviation authorities that Lindbergh 'was not inclined to "stand .still" in his profes sion, but disposed to press onward for new successes which would be of practical value to aviation. Aviation experts now are convinced that Lindbergh's far eastern flight aims at specific technical results of which the public has not yet been fully apprised. The flight, therefore, will command the attention of technicians as-jyell as of the masses in many countries who find In "Liiidy's exploits" a serial story of never fading Interest.
