EXPERT ON MET TO SPEAK Dr. E. V. MeCollum of Johns Hopkins Will Lecture Here. "Choosing the Human Itation in Wartime" will be discussed by Dr.

L. V. McColIum, Johns Hopkins University, at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night in the College of' Agriculture Auditorium. Mr. McCollum's work at the University of Wisconsin agricultural experiment station has marked him as one of the great investigators and students of human and animal nutri tion.

It was while engaged in nutn- tion experiments wun animals mat ne discovered facts which are causing a great readjustment in accepted knowledge dealing with diet. Herbert Hoover, United States Food Administrator, under whose auspices the speaker is traveling, says Doctor McCollum's discovery and research work is the most valuable contribution to the world's knowledge of food made in the last hundred years. Mr. McColIum believes his message to be so important at present that he is giving his time to trans-continental speaking tour. Just now when persons are limiting their diet though necessity or patriotism they should understand that the omission of certain elements will cause diseases.

Hundreds of cases of eye troble in Japan and Denmark were caused by improper diet. When the diet was corrected in keeping with the knowledge developed by Doctor McColIum. the malady disappeared. Whole milk was the medicine used The lecture is free and everyone is invited. GRAIN PROCEEDS TO KEI) CROSS Itereliits Frum One Day's Threshing Chen Ily Ben Williams.

SEES M. U. STUDENTS Ran Across Ray Miller and William Neil Who Were Made Lieutenants. Captain R. R.

Hudelson, former as sistant professor of soils In the College of Agriculture, recently returned from Franco and is spending a few- days In Columbia. Captain Hudelson, while in France, was billeted in a small town In Brittany training Amer ican troops. He never reached the actual fighting line. He says the French people are cor dial in every way toward the American soldiers and feel that the Amer icans have really saved the day. He was stationed in the home of some French people whose son had been killed in the fighting about a month before the arrival of the American soldiers in the town.

The two old people took him In as their son, gave him the son's room, helmet and gas mask and some, souvenirs from the front and treated him as a member of the family. According to Captain Hudelson, there are many cases where other American officers havte been treated In the same manner by the French. Yankees "Pal" Willi Cliildren. Captain Hudelson says that th5 Americans go around with English-French, and the French with French-English "dictionaries In their hands. They are able to learn a few nouns and verbs but most of the talking Is done with motions.

The French children learn, to say things in English and get the pronunciation better than do the older people. The Americans and the French children are great friends. When off drill, the soldiers sit around in the towns where they are billeted and hold the children in their arms, give them little presents and talk to them as best they can. The children learn the American salute even faster than some of the American recruits. They are able to distinguish the officers by their Sam Brown belts and never make a mistake by saluting a private.

Transports Crowded. Life on a transport Is monotonous, accoiding to Captain Hudelson. The ships arc crowded to their fullest capacity Drills arc conducted as well as possible in the small space, schools are conducted and reports are organized so that they can be presented when the landing is reached. Captain Hudelson in France met Ray Miller, a graduate of the College of Agriculture in 1917, and assistant in animal husbandry last year. Mr.

Miller is now first lieutenant in a pioneer infantry company. Capt. Hudelson also saw Wm. Neil, another former University student, who was returning to the United States. He was promoted from the ranks to a second lieutenancy after he reached France.

Captain Hudelson will go to Camp Funston, to train a new division of artillery soldiers and expects to leave with them for France In about three months.
