District Court Of Appeals
viii Pass on Reyiewof Case;
Meanwhile New Rate Rules

With the inception Of the
higher street car fares today,
Peoples Counsel Richmond B.
Keech and the Public Utilities
Commission prepared two briefs
to contest the raise.
BY the end Of the week; Keech
will present a petition to the
commission asking for a complete
revaluation Of the traction COM
panies' properties. 1t Is expected
that the petition will be imn1e-
diately granted. =
viii Seek Review
The commission and Mr.. Keech
also are expecting to launch their
drive in the District Court Of Ap-
peals for a review Of the case at
the same time.
Thus the matter assumed a
double struggle with the people
on one side. and the utilities on
the other.
Regardless of whether the valu-
alton is completed, the fight Is
bound to assume serious proper
tions In the appeals court, where
the decision Of Justice Jennings
Bailey, made in Supreme Court
last Saturday, will be up for
reversal.
No direct reaction to the new
fares was seen today by officials
of the street car companies.
Neither did cab drivers admit
that their cherished hopes OF
more TRIPS had matereialized.
No Business Drop
However, by the end. of the
week, it is believed. records win
definitely show Just what reaction
to the new rates the public has
taken.
The traction companies believe
that for short time their total
revenue will slacken. but when
the public becomes accustomed to
the 1O-cent fare, there will be a
corresponding increase in passen-
gers and revenue. @

REPORTS
Temperature Back to Normal;
Atlantic Seaboard Suffers
Damage and Loss Of Life

Washington weather has had
its fling at bigger and better heat
waves and it will now resume the
even tenor Of its way, Weather
Bureau officials said today.
Nothing so delightful as q cool
wave could be promised, but
then there is no more Of that
high temperature Of Saturday.
Sunday. Monday and Tuesday

Lowest Near 10
1t is estimated that the lowest
temperature viii be near 10 to-
night with the highest of about
80 today.
This is the normal temperature
in Washington for this time of
the year. And the weather man
says there will be no repeat en-.
gagement for those showers Of
yesterday. Today is scheduled to
be fair and cooler.
The lowest temperature reached
by the mercury. since the heat
wave came in was 72 degrees, at
$50 a. m. today.
The whole Atlantic seaboard
found relief as cool winds and
rain wiped out the intense heat,
but New York, New Jersey. MaSsa-
chusetts. Maryland and Pennsyl.
var1ia paid in lives and property
damage for relief.
Much Damage Done
Storms which swept away tae
torrid temperatures were accom-.
panied by lightning and nigh
winds. which damaged buildings
trees and gardens, international
News Service dispatches showed.
In Brunswick, N. j., one woman
was killed and several injured
when a tornado-Iike wind up
rooted several buildings.
Lightning killed one man in
Boston and another in Baltimore.
Shipping was damaged off the
jersey coasts and crops and gar

hard hit by winds and damaging
rains.
In New York eight new heat
victims were claimed before rains
carried relief to the metropolis.
Only slight property damage was
caused in New York city. In New
York during the hot spell rs
deaths were attributed directly
and indirectly to the heat.
Six new heat deaths were re
ported in Philadelphia.

Dreams Of wedded bliss were
shattered for William A. Gray. a
deaf mute Of the 100 block Fifth

lice Court that he had expressed
his desire to, enter upon a matri-

A few days later. according to
Gray, Quantrelle said that ne had

get married. So Gray says he
gave the money in small sums TO
Quantrelle, who was to turn It
over to Blanche, as he had been
told the girl was named.
Blanche was to save up the
money, and when a sufficient sum
was accumulated, the wedding
bells would ring and Gray'S bliss

Huston's whereabouts, mean
while, is more or less Of a mystery
to newspaper reporters, Up to a
late hour yesterday. his Washing

around national headquarters pro-
fessed to know anything about
the call.

REDS TEACHING
DOCTRINES To
CHILDREN

A nationwide effort on the
part of Communists to convert
boys and girls of student age to
the cause Of the Russian reds
has given the Federal Govern.
ment much concern. it was re
yealed today.
Officials said there has been
wide circulation of insidious
propaganda in the schools. Com.
munists maintain headquarters
in most Of the principal cities
one being located in washington
not far from the Capitol.
Law enforcement agencies of
the Government have made
study of the situation. but are
not in a position to take action
unless demonstrations. such as
have occurred recently, involve
Federal officials, diplomats OF
Government property.
Follows Depression
1t was stated that the wave of
communistic propaganda has
become more noticeable because
of the business recession and the
increase in unemployment
The Comm 5ts, besides deal
Ing through students, have found
the unemployed Of industrial cen
ters easily influenced and have
promoted number of unemploy
ment demonstrations One official
said they find little audience for
their propaganda with those
profitably employed.
Lead Are Russians
Most of the leaders in the
movement have been revealed as
Russians.
On olution of t ..estion.
as well as the crime problem gen
orally. would be serious effort
to AmericaniZe immigrants, one
of the Governments leading Grim
inologists declared. 1t was pointed
out that most of the immigrants
drift to the foreign quarters of
large cities, Immediately upon ar
rival, and frequently are in
structed in crime rather than any
legitimate means of livelihood.
Scattering of immigrants
throughout the country and re
moving them from the Squalid
tenement centerS where they OBJ
tain no hint of the principles of
American citizenship, was sug-
gested as a long advance toward
their proper education.

WINTER WHEAT SHOULD
HAVE SMUT TREATMENT

AS winter wheat is more sus-
ceptible to smut infection than
spring wheat, making the loss
from smut much greater proper
tionately, some kind of seed treat
ment is essential if a smut free
crop is to be produced. Accord
ing to agronomy experts several
treatments are dependable, their
selection depending upon local
conditions.
Trials in many fields in Mon
tana have established the fact thar
smut can be eliminated if proper
methods are used. Clean grain
can be produced if the grower fol-
lows the proper procedure. Copper
carbonate and formaldehyde r
most commonly used.
In Montana it has been found
advisable to use copper carbonate
of a strength known as 50%-54%.
The usual strength for spring
wheat is known as 2O%-22%.
Formaldehyde has given fair re-
suits but is not as dependable as
the copper carbonate, nor is it
convenient to use once a farm
has been equipped with busting
machinery. Formaldehyde varies
more in composition and is more
apt to kill grain than is copper
carbonate. The standard treatment
with formaldehyde involves sprink-
ling the seed with a solution mix
ed one pint Of fonmaldehyde to
40 gallons OF water. This amount
is sufficient to treat 40 to so
bushels of wheat.

GIRLS CLUB

Twenty-four attended club this
week. We are now copying ma
terial in our record books that
we may remember some of the
principles underlying our talks at
each meeting.
An interesting part of this pro-
gram was a discussion among the
members as to what is most
needed in our town to benefit our
young people.
We gave a vote of thanks to
those who made the municipal
tennis courts a reality.
All voiced the need of a swim
ming pool. That of curse has
been a subject of discussion for
years but is a pretty big order to
fill at present.
A small park with a long table
covered with a rooted shelter, and
a brick or stone oven for cook
ing was desired. Swings and see
saws were included. One member
desired a Girl Scouts troop.
A loud protest was heard as to
the lack of suitable children's
books in the city library.
The Woman's club and gener-
Gus donors have given us a COM
mendable library, but the need Of
good books for growing minds is
endless.
Dorothy Burgess was appointed
to appear before the club at their
first meeting and ask for consid-
Grafton.
Next meeting will be our last,
so l hope all members who are
in town will attend.
