Everywhere she went a shadowy

recommendation on this aspect Of the general situation is considered likely.
 To Study Reforestation
 One important phase of the study will concern itself with reforestation. At present, government figures show a small decline in the use of wood products but two or three years ago the United States was using wood at a rate which was threaten ing the forests. Many students of the farm problem have advocated turning the less desirable land into new forests and congress specifically charged the farm board with the job of inquiring into this subject.
 Of perhaps more popular na- ture. however. will be the boards study of the effects of scientific pro- duction methods, machinery and crop and animal hygiene on pro- duction. The highly technical study of birth and death rates to deter mine the problematical trend of population during the next half century also will engage the board in an effort to make consumption estimates.

 A remarkable change in the Milky Way takes place in the region of the Northern Cross, All the way from the northeast horizon this luminous stream follows a single course. But in Cygnus it divides into two dis tinct branches.
 As the divided stream sweeps southward, the western branch fades out. while the eastern branch continues on: and before it sinks out of sight below the south horizon. this branch gathers into the great star clouds of Sagittarius, which mark the direction of the center of our vast stellar system.
 If we could follow the course Of the Milky Way farther into the southern hemisphere we wou'> find it sweeping down to within 80 degrees of the south celestial pole before turning north again to com plete it's circuit of the heavens. The Southern Cross is in the middle of the Milky Way at its southern extremity.
 The Southern Cross appears above the south horizon in the spring in the extreme southern part of the United States For all places more than 30 degrees south of the equa- tor it is visible throughout the year circling around the south celestial pole without setting, just as the Big Dinper never sets for us.
 The Southern Cross is much smaller than the Northern Cross and not so impressive, although the sur rounding region of the Milky Way | is an interesting one. because it contains large "'coal sack" or very dark region in the midst Of the galaxy,

FARM BOARD PLANS

 Suiting Crops to Soil

Washington. Aug. P)-As soon as some pressing tasks have been disposed of. the federal farm board intends carefully 10 inquire into the whol" problem Of land utiliza- ton, condemnation, and reforesta tion
 This field of study is regarded by the board as holding an important key to the solution of agriculture difficulties. but just what will re- suit from is inquiry can hardly be forecast. The board realizes that. despite diligent study already given by experts, the questions involved are still unsettled. great many of the scientists of the department Of agriculture believe, however, that the problem will resolve itself into plan for specialized growing of certain crops on the soils best suited 10 them and the setting aside Of the poorer acreage for the more easily adaptable branches of farming and Horticulture.

BORAH WOULD HAVE BRITAIN CUT NAVY
Says Reduction to Parity Would Be Economical and Peaceful

Washington, Aug. 2 P@Cnlike many who have expressed their views on means of attaining parity between all branches of the British and American navies, Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee apparently would rather see British scrapping Of ships than American building or a combination of the two.
 "If Great Britain will follow our axa mple at the Washington confer ence and sink some of her ships and thus come to parity he suggests. it will not only save the taxpayer but r<duce the incentive 10 warrior huge armaments are always an in centive to war parity or no parity, nut if we have to build up 10 parity. it vastly increases the burdens of the taxpayer and augments the incentive Q war"

 Hoover Remains silent
 Mir Hoover, himself. meanwhile. seems to have said all he intends to say in the subject. for the time be- ing. at any rate. in his letter 70 Pa aul V. McNutt commander of the American Legion, who, protesting against the suspension of construc- lion of three cruisers, suggested "continued cruiser building by America or extending cruiser scrap- ping by Great Btain." or a ''combi- nation of these methods"
 The president replied that the problems presented "are for more intricate and far more difficult than can be solved by the simple formula which you suggest and expressed confidence that the legion would be sympathetic with principles of par ity by negotiating and by reduction and Imitation of armament instead of competitive building"
 Senator Borah described as livery discouraaing news dispatches from London to the effect that Great Britain will not reduce it's cruisers, holding that If parity were used 10 justify the building of huge arma- ments, it would become a menace in- stead of d security

Mr.. o. P. Lindsey of Columbus

to attend the fair, visit friends and
look after some business matters.
He was caller at the Democrat of
flee, and in the course of his con-
versation related an experience he
had undergone on an evening a
week or so before, when he was
held up at his barbecue stand and
filling station in the edge Of Colum-

arated from ten dollars which luck
lily was only a part of what he had
at his place of business at the time
The ten dollars was in bills which
Mr.. Lindsey had laid down tempor-
arily on the counter, and which
looked better, it would seem, to the
bandits, than the sandwiches he
had just prepared for them, and
was about to hand them when they
demanded the money, covering Mr..
Lindsey at the same time with
three guns, in three exits respec-
lively, to enforce their demand.
