In the early stages of the disease
the tubers are marked with brownish

shrunken, darker colored, and finally

Dust Cloud Covers Mid-COIumbia

From noon Saturday until Sunday
night many TONS. Of eastern Oregon
real estate were deposited over this
section of the mid Columbia. A strong
wind swept over the eastern Oregon
plains, bringing with it clouds of thick
dust. Many local folk Saturday thought
forest fire was prevailing. The cloud
was SO dense in the canyon of the CO.
lumbia that the Washington bank was
blotted out, and the suns rays were
dimmed as though by pail of smoke.
The fine dust filed the nostrils, left a
deposit on scalps. face and hands. The
polished surface of furniture was left
covered with a film.
The dust storm died down as the
wind abated. Saturday night, but again
Sunday, when the east wind again pre-
vailed, it was repeated. A dust storm
prevailed last November during a part
of the heavy sleet storm, and an inch
layer of the heavy snow was chocolate
colored.

SAYS MODERN GIRL
 NO GAYER THAN
 WAS HER MOTHER

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 1.-It is the observation of Mrs. J. Scott Parrish, of Piedmont, Va, and president of the city's Y. w. c. A., that the girl of score of years ago got just as much pleasure out of exceeding the social speed limit as does the girl of today and that at heart she was just as blase and took just as many chances as the modern girl with the bobbed hair and never-tir- ing vivacity.
 'Inwardly the girl of twenty years ago loved all the things our mod ern girl does. She took just as many chances, but she was less open about it and consequently got by, as we would say today" de- clared Mrs. Parrish in an interview here, where she was attending the Southern Conference of the Y. w. c. A.
 Mrs. Parrish, who is mother, said she could not agree with the popular version regarding the pres ent generation.
 ''But our bobbed hair, never-tiring vivacious girl of today will be the mother of tomorrow and she will make a good one. I cannot. believe otherwise.
 q have all confidence in our happy-go-lucky, frank and above board girl of today" continued Mrs. Parrish. "She has so many vir- tues that typify the real American girl"

METHOD FOUND,
 SHIPPING LIVE FISH

=
 TOKYO, Dec. 1. A method of transporting live fish long distances has been discovered by Dr. Chayo- matsu Ishikawa, professor of the Tokio Imperial University, by infus- ing quantity of oxygen in the water of boxes doubly lined with zinc in order to prevent leakage. The method proved successful and will be again tried with "ayu' . kind of trout which 1t hitherto has been believed impossible to trans port alive. It is very important for the Japanesca people to obtain freah fish, one of the national dishes being raw fish.

 But never have I seen the sign of panic among any of these people. They are used to accepting misery.

Theirs has been misery as great as that of the working class, they said, be- cause the workingman lives now adays for the same rent as he paid before the war and has more money to spend on other things.
 With the end of the war the over- crowding of Vienna became prob lem. The working-class family na- turally continued living in the same quarters. Two-room houses still serve large families. The front room, which is little more than enough for the, cooking stove, has fallen into disrepair. The concrete or stone floor is battered. A bed stands opposite, an untidy looking thing. There are ten children, the mother tells you. But where do they sleep?
 "Oh, we make up the beds every night" she says, pointing to the tot tering stack of bedsteads in the. cor ner. "The covers we pile on the two beds"
 You look dubiously at the covers enough for two beds at the most.
 Rows and rows of such households one sees in Vienna today. The fam flies have trusted that each year would bring with it added possibili- ties for life They have overlooked the inevitable fact that while every city stricken by the economic up heayal since the war has for period of years offered to the for eigner a cheap living, eventually prices reached something approxi- mately the world level. Thus both Moscow and Vienna are now as ex- pensive as London or New York.
 The brilliance of Vienna, together with the cold culture that she has so long boasted, has gone forever, and in its stead is saddened, help less city calmly regarding another winter of starvation and cold.
