Muskogee, Okla, Aug. II P(-Of- ficials of district number 2l United Mine Workers of America today an nounced plans to seek an injunction to prevent Sheriff John Russell from forhidding prayer meetings' of striking miners in the Henryetta district.
 The announcement said the peti- ton would alege that the sheriff's order is in violation of the constitu- tional guarantee of the right Of free speech and voluntary religious wor- ship.
 The prayer meetings" an innova- ton in the strike which has been in progress for several months, were forhidden by the sheriff on the ground that they constituted yelled threats against the safety of employ ed miners.
 The meetings are held at various places in the open, particularly at the mine entrances and in the high ways. supplication Is made for the safety Of the m,n who are regarded by the union men as strike break ers.'
 An offer of legal assistance from l the American Civil Liberties League has been accepted by the strikers.
 The miners union made public a telegram from Attorney Clarence Darrow, at Greedy. O.. in which Dar- row said he was not an attorney for the Civil Liberties Union, but en- lorsed the miners efforts to oppose the sheriffs order.
 "No one is sure enough of any opinion to deny the right of oper discussions, said Darrow. The tele- gram vas in response to reports that Darrow would represent the Civi Liberties Union in the injunction e,Iit

POPI AR TREES

An apparently insignificant look Ing bundle, there lies in a corner In the hearing room of the board Of public works d small parcel, which upon casual examination resembles nothing more than d dried-up bunch of seaweed. This harmless looking package represents, according to City Engineer Joseph D. Williams, a source of annoyance and consid- erabe expense to the city of New Britain.
 It represents an almost unsur- mountable difficulty. Yet 1t Is noth- ing more than bunch of roots. no larger in thickness than an ordinary lead pencil, averaging about five siXteenths of an inch. From this thickness they range downward to the thickness of a thread,
 Much york, much damage and much expense is attributed by the board of public works 10 poplar trees, According to Mir. Williams, they work insiduously but effective ly.
 The parcel in the office of the board of public works represents the cause of sewer being dug up in a certain section of the city. One tiny root no bigger than a hair, vormed Its way through the connections be- tween sewer pipes. Inside the pipe. where everything was nice and wet and there was plenty of food. the | root prospored and multiplied until In a short time the pipe was filled with roots and the accumulated sewage had so completely blocked drainage that if was necessary to tear up the street and remove the pipe,

POSTAL EMPLOYES
 NOT SATISFIED
Retirement Act Does Not Please
 Govt. Workers

Cleveland, Aug 14 H9 - The present retirement act for postal employees will be the chief topic of speakers at the meetings of eight organizations that will celebrate postal week" here August 23 to 29.
 At present, clerks and carriers retire at 65 and supervisors at 70 and are paid s60 a month, provid- ing they have spent 30 years in the service. If they have served less than 80 years the pay is pro rated.
 Local postal workers say the pro- visions of the act are "utterly in- adequate to meet reasonable service and employment needs. The annuity granted is so small that employees appear to accept it only under pres sure and the age for retirement Is fixed 50 high as to practically defeat the very purpose for which the law was intended"
 The discussions on the retirement act are expected 10 take place at the meetings of the national asso- citation of postal supervisors, the united national association of post office clerks and the national rural letter carriers association.
 Other subjects 10 be discussed during the week include the "Ef- feet of the new postal rates" and the Expansion of the air mail service"

STATE CROPS ARE
 HURT BY RAINFALL
Survey of Connecticut Shows
 Considerable Damage

Hartford, Aug, 1i Pt-A potato blight, considerable rot among peaches and the hamperns ol to- bacco curing and hay crop harvest ing are included in the troubles caused by the frequent small amounts Of rain that have fallen during the past two weeks, An un- usual situation IS presented in weather conditions despite the con- tinued showers, in that the total rainfall this month is below the average tor August during the past several years.
 B c, Southwick, county farm agent. reports that while crop con- dltions are not yet critical, unless several successive days of sunshine come soon a serious amount Of damage may result in the bIights and diseases that foster in damp weather.
 stanclif Hale, fruit grower, Of Glastonbury, said last night that considerable amount of speaking" is showing on peaches and that hot sunshine is needed 10 offset the damage already done. He said also that the potato blight had gained considerable headway because of the continued dampness.
 Mir. Southwick recently returned from Vermont and reports that con- ditions theer are worse than in Connecticut because of heavy rains. The greatest difficulty presented, he said, is in harvesting, the con- tinued rain maki"g 1t almost impos- slble tc carry on the work and meanwhile the pests and crop dis eases increase.
 The market garden situation has been materially different, with early vegetables more abundant and of better variety than for the past several years, Leonard H.

 NEA Service Writer.

New York, Aug. 14--August may be q dull month for the buyed of clothes, but not for the designer and the dealer.
 During his month the buyers for the foremost American houses are busy in Paris, and the French coutu- riers are working overtime getting the models ready for inc American houses. Every boat is bringing in new and colorful models. with no startling Innovations, but with Q general perfection and finish that charms.
 Tt appears that the supremacy of the straightline frock has gradually been broken, and that the faring lines have gained the day" taid Henri BendeL New York importer and designer. as we looked over some of the newest Paris versions of the mode, but this does not mean that the straight line is not still featured.
 "The full skirt is excellent for tho slender figure and the futtering ends. floating panols, and all the sug- gestions of motion and vibration that are the last word, are very effective. But the larger figure needs different treatment, So fall models must be chosen with discrimination"
 How about the silhouette?" l asked him. what is the present status of the waistline-"
 "Still 8 variable" he replied. "Cn- doubtedly there os a desire on the part of many designers to raise it, and the full skirt is a powerful up- ward influence, but the fact remains that the low waistline Is much more becoming to the average figure than the normal one.
 The girl with small. naturally slim Waistline is never more lovely than in the type Of frock which em- phasizes this line of beauty. but it is sartorisl suicide for the mature fig ure to call attention to one that has

increased past the point of sym metry,"
 Perhaps the corset will come back" I suggested. That has been a matter Of speculation for some time
 The woman of today may wear a eirdle or corset" Bendel replied, but only in order to get an uncor- seted look. not 10 get what we used to call a figure. The woman of to- day leads an active life, and will not return to the old style of corset which hampered her.
 Her clothes. too, must be de- signed not only from a point of view of beauty and richness of fabric and trimming, but in order to give the necessary room for action. They must not only be right when she is standing erect, but when she Is dan , cing and engaging in sports. They must conform to the natural lines of her body.
 T venture 10 say it will be some time before the silhouette changes much because it is the natural, nor nal onc. and suited to our times and OUT mode of living.
 This years styles illustrate more clearly than ever before that every woman is law unto herself, and that to achieve chic she must know her type and play 1t up to the best advantage. If is possible today to wear very long or very short skirts, and still be up to the minute. The waistline can be practically any where it wants to be. All colors are permissible, with the pink and red shades particularly good, and all the blues 10 tho fore.

The total number of local lea
der classes was one hundred and
sixty. These one hundred and
sixty women attended the local
leader classes and in turn helped
several of their neighbors in this
work. The reports indicate that
two hundred and thirty dress
forms were made as the result of
this local leader work. Mrs. Ed
win Boreen. the woman member
of the executive board of the
county extension committee in
cooperation with the local lea
ders from the different groups
put on a clothing project booth
at the County Fair which was
held at Pine City on the ninth,
tenth and eleventh of Septem-
Der. There was always one Of
the local leaders in attendance of
this booth explaining the work
to those interested. This booth
was one of the leading attrac-
tons of the county fair. Through
the effort of Mrs. Boreen and the
local leaders people were reached
in this form of extension work
that could not have been reached
any other way.
III Community Activities.
The county extension office
has co-operated with the follow
ing communities in putting on
a community fair during the past
year: Bruno, Hinckley. Kerrick,
Sandstone, Finlayson, Willow Riv-
er, Beroun, Cloverton, and Mark
vile. The fairs put on this year
were exceptionally good and fea-
tured the work of the Junior
Club members in the county.
The Markville fair was the out
standing fair in this respect. A
canning demonstration was put
on at the fair, with three canning
teams competing. Dairy Calf
Club members showed their
calves, also the poultry and pig
project members. The atten-
dance at these fairs was very
good and we believe that through
a community fair of this kind the
amount of good can not be esti-
mated in dollars and cents.
(g) Boys and Girls Club Work.
Junior club work has been one
of our important projects during
the past year. In order to put
before the boys and girls of Pine
county the meaning of club work
item one day short courses were
arranged and held at the follow
ing places: Sandstone, Brook
Park, Askov, Finlayson. Pine
