ROAD WORK PUSHED

LAREDO, 'Auril 9.-CP)-Con-
struction work on the Mexican high
way between Nuevo Laredo and Mon
terey, a section of the Nuevo-Laredo-
Mexico City highway, is progressing
rapidly. Grabbing operations have
progressed to the point where the
grubbing force has been reduced from
1900 to 800 men. but the force of men
engaged in grading and in other opera
tons has not been reduced.
Eleven kilometcrs of the highway
have been graded from Monterey
northward toward NueyO Laredo.
while seven EilOmeters have been
graded from Nuevo Laredo south
ward toward Monterey. Twenty-Five
kilometers of the Nuevo Laredo di-
vision of the highway will be graded
within 30 days. Between Nuevo La
redo and Monterey the highway is
grubbed. with exception of about 10
kilOmeters. and grubbing forces are
now rushing operations on this
stretch.

KEECHI, Tex. April 9.-LP)-A
leopard may not change its spots,
but an ordinary hickory sappling in
many parts of Texas may be startled
into bearing pecans. D. Il. McKin-
non, well known Leon county resident.
has proved it and on a rather extern
1--WE scale. He buds pecanS on the
hiekorieS. Presently the hickory for
gets that it ever grew hickory nuts
and grows pecans.
When Mr.. McKinnOn came here
several years ago he viewed hickory
trees with speculative. not TO say
hostile, eye. They encountered his
property along with poStoak and
blackjack. and all of it meant little
more than wood. merely kindergarten
stuff. while pecans, he reasoned. had
taken a postgraduate course and had
become a producer of something
worthwhile.
FAILURE FORECAST.
! Finally he evolved the idea OF
making the hardy hickory bear conSid-
cradle of the pecan's burden. Budding
improved varieties Of the pecan. he
believed was the answer. He inquired
about il but hardly anybody would
agree with him. Some cOntended that
only very small per cent Of the buds
would live. If they did. some Of his
informants said, a very bad union
would result because. they argued,
the pecan would grow much faster
than the hickory, thus leaving a very
small base and an overgrown trunk
above. Moreover, they insisted. this
would encourage entrance of insects
and decay organisms, which would be
injurious 10 the tree. Some also con-
tended that pecans budded or hickory
would have a tendency to be much |
smaller than on the parent budwOod |
free.
But Mr. McKinnon was persistent. |
He didn't believe anybody knew it all |
and though there was a fine chance |
that he might learn something him |
self. so he set out TO test these va |
rious theories. He found that by |
clearing away all Of the hardwOods |
except the hickory trees enough hiSk- |
DRY stock would be left on the land |
already growing to make an average
stand for the proposed pecan grove.
The small hickory trees. and sprouts |
were available for budding immediate

and more in diameter. were cut back,

A New Russian Marriage Law.

Russia has enacted a new bigamy
law, which Furnishes by fine of $3.50
or by Imprisonment at hard labor any
man who takes more than one wife at
a time. Exemptions, 1t is explained
in the news dispatch, are provided in
the cases Of those who acquired null
tiple wives prior to the present enact
ment. 1t is further explained that this
new law applies particularly to the
mid -Asiatic areas, where many of the
natives are polygamous.
This Is most praiSeworthy, though
difficulties are likely to be met in the
enforcement of the anti-bigamy statute
in Asia, perhaps even in European
Russia. And 1t should be noted fur
thermore that there will probably be
some confusion in all Of Russia grow
ing out of the change of mood on the
part Of the ruling group of COM
misSars.
Under Soviet rule marriage has been
made so easy and divorce so facile
that the family has been well nigh de-
stroyed. The general situation has
been a virtual state Of progressive
polygamy. a successive bigamy, so to
speak. "Off with the old love and on
with the new" has become practically
the national song. Doubtless the COM
.ynissars argue that if divorce is so
asy there is no justification for actual
'6igamy. Their reasoning Is perhaps

Natures Reminders.

Disasters breed fear as we'll as cause
destruction. When any community is
hit by a storm Of great violence 1t
breads the possibility of another vista
ton. When a region is shaken by a
rremor of the earth's crust its people
ever after live in apprehension of a
recurrence. This week has been mark
ed by two instances of acute dread in
duced by the close approach of dis
aster. in repetition of previous expert
ences.
The other day southern Florida be-
came greatly alarmed when a re-
port was received that a storm Of
intense fury was raging in western
Cuba. destroying property and ship
ping and taking lives. With the mem.
ory OF the storm Of September, which
took such a CHASTITY toll. still vivid.
this close approach of another hurri
cane caused a state of mind near to
panic stage. Preparations were made
for defense and many people living in
the area of the earlier visitation fed

A Temporary Airport.

Impetus was given to the District
Of Columbia municipal airport move
ment yesterday, when representatives
of the District Chapter of the National
Aeronautical Association called upon
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, executive
officer of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, to urge es-
tablishment OF temporary airport
pending congressional action upon a
permanent field. In asking for action
by the commission the committee
pointed out that even if Congress acts
promptly on the project it will be at
least five years before the proposed
site, between Hunter and Gravelly
points on the Potomac, can be filled
in and made available and suitable for
an airport. 1t is for this period that
a temporary field is needed and the
committee expressed hope that means
may be found by the commission to
provide the necessary facilities.
There is not the slightest question
but that municipal airport would
be a desirable addition to the con-
veniences and improvements Of the
National Capital. 1t is a project that
has received the Endorsement of busi-
ness men of the city and is one that
would in no wise interfere with the
beauty and orderly development of any
park area that might be selected. On
the contrary, if properly regulated, it
would tend to enhance any such area
because of the betterments that would
have to be made in order to render
1t flying field of high standard.
Five years is too long to wait for
elimination of the plans for a munich
pal airport. The commission should
bend every effort to make a park area
available for airplane use. Washing
ton should take it's place with other
progressive cities in this respect and,
pending congressional action, plans
should be worked out for the tempo
rary airport which is so earnestly de-
sired, not only by the aeronautical in
terests, but the citizens of Washing
ton as well.

v the tornado was headed eastward

/ ly the tornado was headed eastward
| instead of westward or northward, and
Florida escaped, with merely the in
convenience of a few hours of high
wind, which did no damage worth
mentioning.
Yesterday morning a series Of earth
shocks occurred on the Pacific Coast,
affecting several midwestern California
counties. They were felt in San Fran
cisco, the residents of which recall
with horror the visitation of 1905,
when that city was wrenched and
broken and then burned. AS the
ground began to tremble and as walls
swayed and glass cracked and fell,
the people instinctively fled from their
homes. None could tell when the
tremors would become so violent as
to bring buildings crashing down, TAX
ing lives and perhaps starting a con-
flagration. In a little while, however,
the shakes ceased, gradually feeling
Of security was restored and the
panic" was over.
Those who have never passed
through such terrifying experience
as hurricane Of the violence of that
which swept Florida a few weeks ago.
or as the quake and the resultant fire
which despoiled San Francisco twenty
one years ago, can quite appreciate
the reaction caused by recurrence
or a menace of a renewal. The stout
est hearts quail. Panic may not en-
sue in terms Of wild, frantic rushes,
but the instructive tendency is to
escape, If there is any way toward
probable safety.
In this latest conjunction Of expert
ences, at the extremes of the con-
tinent, there is perhaps some consola-
ton to Florida, which has been hard
hit in prestige as resort for health
and pleasure by the September dis
aster. California, rival tourist mecca,
is not well served by Nature in this
renewal of the reminder that the soil
Of the State is still in process of set
tlement and adjustment and that that
process is unfavorable to the peace of
mind

The Smithsonian Centenary

With the imminent arrival of Wash
ington's long-looked-for giraffe, it is
worth remembering that without a
Zoo" there would be no home for His
| EIighneSS here. And the reason that
the National Capital enjoys such a
remarkable collection of animals is
the fact that there exists the Smith
sonian Institution, which established
and administers the National Zoologi
cal Park and which today celebrates
a happy and successful centennial.
| To a majority, perhaps, the Smith
sonian is known as a dark brown Nor
houses "a lot of fossils and a bunch
| Of highbroWs." It has some fossils,
| at that, and some Of the highest
brows in operation, but there is moth
ing fossil-like about this remarkable
| organization. It is very decidedly
alive and has been described, with
out exaggeration, as "the world s
most wonderful clearing house of
| facts"
One hundred years ago today an
| English chemist, named James Smith
son, with a broad-minded eye toward
the opportunities afforded by the
| future Of the young republic, named
the United States of America as the
trustee of his fortune, which was to
be used to found an establishment
for the increase and diffusion of
knowledge. This country accepted
the bequest in the spirit in which it
was offered and through the wise ap-
pointment by Congress Of Joseph
Henry as it's first secretary, started
the institution on career which has
been fruitful for science and educa-
ton, agriculture and commerce
throughout the world.
The Smithsonian is not a building;
1t is, as it's name implies, an institu-
tion-a living, evergrowing thing, far
bigger than any building. Established
under the President and all the mem.
bers of his cabinet and administered
by board of regents headed by the
Chief Justice Of the United States
and by permanent secretary, whose
name is known and recognized wher-
ever knowledge is valued, it includes
the National Museum, the National
Gallery Of Art, the Freer Gallery of
Art, the Bureau of American Ethnol-
ogy, the National Geological Park, the
Astrophysical Observatory, Interna-
tional Exchanges and the Regional
Bureau for the United States Cata-
logue Of Scientific Literature.
To enumerate all the different types
Of service which the Smithsonian In
stitution has rendered. is rendering
or may render to man, would be an
impossible task. The National Capt.
tai congratulates the organization on
the completion Of what is is hoped
will be but the first of many centuries
of patient, valuable labor; it congrat-
ulates itself, the Nation and the world
at large.
