X plane cuts over the sky
III line and into a bank of fog
and as the plane flies the fog
disappears.
AS the fog disappears there is
rain.
Electrified sand, elected from
under the cockpit of the plane, is
the magic worker that changes
the weather in an instant.
This Is not a fairy story. 1t
is the story of a twentieth century
invention that will be used to aid
our world f1iers ride through the
fog banks of Nova Scotia and
New England.
1t promises to:
Eliminate danger Of fog to
ships at sea and in harbor.
Provide clear air lanes in foggy
weather for mail air-planes.
Yield rain to drought-stricken
areas whenever there are clouds
in the sky.
In wartime ITO disclose enemy
fleets. hiding under banks of fog OF
screens Of smoke.
Already the invention has proved
it's possibilities.
In it's most recent experiment
conducted secretly. the sand-ejectng
airplane cut a giant sky window in
a bank Of fog. and it did it as quick
ly as it could fly over its course.
Although the invention is one that
is being guarded by the War Depart.
ment, something of its miracle work
ing can be told without disclosing its
secret.
AS explained by DR.. L. F. Warren
who has conducted the experiments
at Harvard and at Aberdeen field

lieved, smoke, are naturally charged

TOM POWERS OF
WYOMING TALKS
TO CALIFORNIA;

The following clipping from a
Long Beach, California, paper will

Thomas G.. Powers, president OF
the Wyoming state senate for the
last ~ years; vice president of three
Wyoming banks and interested in
two more; owner Of $500 acres OF
agricultural and cattle land in that
state, yesterday expressed amuse-
ment at the manner In which Cali
fornia is trying to combat the hoof
and mouth disease.
Senator Powers Is a brother OF
John Powers of this city. who re-
sides at 1920 East Seventh street.
killing of cattle or other ami
mails that have become affected with
this disease Is just gross extrava-
gance in my opinion" said Senator
Powers.
We had to- fight this disease in
Wyoming, but we lost comparatively
few cattle and M by killing, &C
cording to my recollection. l had
over 5000 sheep and 500 cattle when
the disease broke out. I think one
Of my cows died. The way we treat
ed the animals afflicted was to wash
their hoofs In naptholeum and cop
peras and their mouths with bacon
grease and nitric acid. Killing the
animals is ridiculous"
r. Hofer, ealthy Argentine cat
tleman and capitalist Of Buenos
Aires, only a week & voiced a
similar opinion. that killing the cat
tie afflicted was wanton foolishness
and gross extravaganza.
Senator Powers is in California
for the purpose OF arranging for the
removal Of 106 Japanese families to
Wyoming to cultivate the land there.
For 80 years Senator Powers has
lived in Wyoming. His home Is in
Goshen county. Twenty-three years
he has not missed a Frontier day

Senator Powers has been a Re

PAN AMERICAN POLICY

The defeat of the amendment of.
fered to the immigration bill tc
place Latin Americans under the
same restrictions as Europeans has
met with high appreciation from the
Latin Americans themselves. SenoI
Manuel Giron, former secretary OF
the Guatemalan Congress. and envoy
extraordinary to this country for
two terms. expresses himself enthus-
iastically on the subject when he de,
c~lares:
Il should like to shout Viva to
every word uttered by Senator Reed,
of Pennsylvania, when he opposed
that amendment" Speaking of "the
kindly and statesmanlike utterances'
of a number of Senators opposing
the amendment, he continues: These
utterances will not have fallen on
barren soil as they are disseminated
throughout the countries of Central
and South America and the isles OF
the Caribbean. My people have
long been waiting for just such a
manifestation OF friendship"
Senator Reed piloted the immigra-
ticn bill through the Senate. and
whatever may be the final action TAX
en- as a result of the japanese eX-
clusion feature of the bill, it seems
certain that no further attempt will
be made to apply the quota restric-
tons to the Latin Americans. AS
Senator Reed well says: III we want
to hold them tthe Latin Americans)
to us-and | think we do SO long as
we maintain the Monroe Doctrine
we have got to treat them differently
from the rest of the world, and we
ought to treat them differently in
the measure now pending, because
there is no occasion for singing them
u and %clapping a quota down upon
them"
The nations on this continent are
placed in a peculiar position de
clared Buchanan. when Secretary OF

tirely distinct from that which has

truths ought everywhere throughout
the continent Of America to be i'm
pressed on the public mind.
