Clark did the work which led Jrom clieese studies to the winning of the Nicholas medal is one tale. How he got his ijueer nickname initials of "pH" Is another, Inseparably bound with the first. But to go back to the holes in the Swiss, cheese.

Dr. Clark found that the holes, or eyes, of the cheese were produced by a gas. And the micro-organisms in the irheesc created the gas. How much gas the organisms produced determined the size and spacing of the holes and also the flavor of the cheese. so (scod.

But ask the question, "What conditions cause the micro-organisms to produce the right kind and right amount of the gas?" There you have tho cru.x 01 Dr. Clark's early cheese study. was necessary to- study the metabolism of micro-orsariisnis; what they usci: tor food, how they created gas out of the food, and what conditions ot existence varied their metabolism. Flnffs Difficulty Because there are cheeses and cheeses in the world. Dr.

Clark as scientist found difficulty In reproducing in his laboratory controllable conditions for his experiments. Thus he was driven to growing his organisms on what, the bacteriologists call media;" jeliylike foods that provide the best "living" conditions for the organisms. He ha'd to learn about different kinds of media from start to finish and made contrlbulloas in producing "reproducible" media which would grow the organisms the same way each time. Whether the media were acid or alkaline seemed to be an important factor In how the nrennlsms grew. CookVPtea for 'Vindication' ie ws North Pole Argument NEW ORLEANS' Basement Coal Mine Feb.

WE INVITE YOU ALL To The Herring Hotel Lobby-Where Our Motion Pictures Will Be Shown Continuously, Beginning At2P.M.Tuesday.AmarilloFolks especially Invited. W. 0. CULBEKTSON ARE going- to have a Chuck Wagon Dinner at oui' ranch at Dumas, Wednesday, March 11.

The meal will be served as long- as there is anyone to be served. We will have a few cattle to show. Everyone can return in plenty of time for the sale. We invite all cowmen and their ami to come. There is a paved highway.

Cars will leave the Amarillo Hotel at about 10:80 Wednesday morning. Anyone who wants to attend please be there and follow the crowd. The Coon Culbertson herd consists of about 7,000 registered cattle. This sounds like a heavy load to carry and register properly. Any animal not registered on this ranch is simply an honest mistake which will occur in any herd regardless of per size.

We make every effort to register 100 cent. Some people who wear a much smaller hat than either Coon or Culbertson have been carrying a hammer. Victor Hugo said: "What the big do the less will prattle." This is why this moving picture was taken in January, 1936, just to show these cattle to the prominent cowmen of the Southwest and it shows our whole herd, not a few choice animals on exhibition. We expect a large calf crop this next year and i the cowmen are assembled in A a i that anticipate buying bulls in the future if they i make themselves known we would be doligh'tcd to show every animal on our ranches which could be done easily in two days. o.
