whose habit it was to be friendly with visitors,
and to whom she related her weird experience.
The kindly lady took the girl to her home for
the time being and later secured suitable
place for her to stay in the city where the
contact with Christian element would be
assured But thus it was that the seed was
sown for the forming Of this institution having
for its object keeping pure the lives OF the many
girls who came here annually from small towns
throughout the United States, some seeking
employment, others to fill positions already
secured OF the many religious activities of the
CITY, indeed none is more worth while, more
elevating or more worthy.
The first location of the home is said to have
been somewhere on Sixth street northwest, and
on the first board of trustees, as mentioned in

Some years ago. as result of the demand
for further room to accommodate the guests,
house 315 c street was purchased, and this,
together with 311 street, now provides ample
room for the nearly rs girls who are privileged
to live here at nominal cost in an atmosphere
equal to any religious home in the city.
OF course, the real management of the home
is left to Miss Jennie Roberts, the supern-
tendent, who has as her able assistants Mrs.

Great Soil Wasfed.

IF there had been two-ton trucks in Chris
topher Columbus day, and they could have
passed along at the rate of. say, one every i've
seconds. the end of the line necessary to trans
port the amount of soil washed into the ocean
by the rivers of this country in one year would
be somewhere in sight about now.
1t is estimated that 513 .OOO, 900 tons of earth
are washed away in this manner every year.
OF this huge total Old Man River sweeps away
aga, 600, 900 tons. This huge total does not in
clude the soil that goes to create sand bars and
I'LL channels of rivers and otherwise harass
river men.
The seriousness of this soil wastage may be
seen in the fact that the soil contains 81 times
as much plant food as the plants themselves
use in the course of one year. The astounding
figure of 126 billion pounds of plant food is
set as the estimate of the loss through erosion.
The task of battling this situation is the
pitting of man against the almost irresistible
forces of Nature herself There are various
means of preventing the erosion. and prevented
it must be, for in the future serious condition
of famine might easily result through loss Of
soil fertility.
The cost and labor entailed in the various
means suggested are great, and it takes vision
to bring the means about, but, nevertheless,
sooner or later, many sections of the country
must come to them.
There is, for instance the system of terrac-
ing fields contour ploughing and cultivation,
proper forestry development which will provide
the necessary restraint to flood waters which
might otherwise come rushing devastatingly
down the hillsideS, and the limiting of sharply
Sloping ground to grazing and forestry develop
ment.
When little gullies develop their cause must
be discovered and corrected. before they become
big gullies Especially is this true in the case
of newly cultivated land.
The Department of Agriculture in undertaking
this study and making the findings known. is
not unduly alarmed about it, but. nevertheless.
the future danger is seen. together with the
means for preventing situation of famine i'm
this country like that of China, where the bar
rem hills have brought about famine and food
and drought in a succession of tragic loss Of
life to that nation.

YOU ANSWER THEM

There is a question of vital import
confronting the Pacific coast at present
and its interest extends back into the
middle west and indeed to the Atlantic
SeabOard.
Most of us may be wondering where
the money is coming from to enable
Santa Claus to do as good job as usual,
how the income tax is to be met, what
is to be done about coal, (this of course
not in California; heavier clothing, food
and all the necessities of life.
But the paramount issue Just now con-
Germs none of these. The big question is
How much better are the Trojans than
the Irish, if any?' 1t is accompanied by
its twin, where can get ticket ?"
But this latter twin is not as robust as
the former. Weakened by discourage
ment over the demand far exceeding the
supply, it is growing weak and puny,
and by Saturday it will be dead except
for a few brave souls who will hope on
until the whistle starts the big contest.
Not even a worlds championship
match, when Jack Dempsey was in his
glory, nor worlds series, has stirred up
any more interest than the coming in
vasion of the 'Fighting Irish from
South Bend.
Even prohibition has taken a second
seat as cause for argument as friends
meet Naturally the preponderance of
evidence in this part of the county favors
the men of Troy and some brave souls
are supposed to have become reckless
enough to have placed four touchdowns
as the margin of supremacy over the
Rambling Rocknes".
These be daring thoughts indeed. ANY
team that can lay the Notre Dame outfit
IN the discard to the tune of four touch
downs would have to be composed Of
ghosts cloaked in invisibiity.
Fortunate indeed are those who hold
the necessary bits of pasteboard and
have the opportunity of going to Los
Angeles to see the big contest. For
much less than this men have commit

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

There is little question that unemploS-
ment and the need for practcal larIi
relief in the area stricken by last sum-
mer's drought, are two OF the major
problems confronting the nation today
In asking congress for appropriations
to relieve these two conditions, IN MS an
nual message to congress, Mr.. Hoover
recognizes the need for immediate action
to relieve the situation.
His plan for relief in both directions
takes on practical form. There IS no
thought of instituting dole system to
aid those who are unable to obtain work
The Presidents plan is to create work
for them by providing funds for major
construction in various parts OF the
country.
For the farmer, facing ruin through
no fault of his own, the President would
provide seed for his crops and feed for
his stock on loans secured by the farm
ers property.
In directing the attention of the ma
ton to the need for prompt action Mr..
Hoover does so with the feeling that ne
has the moral support of congress and
the people in the present crisis.
His statement Of the need for economy
in governmental affairs is accompanied
BY broad hint indicating that the re-
duction in the income tax, granted last
year. will not be continued. 1t was not
expected that it would be in view Of the
present situation and frequent rumors
emanating from the capital. This will
prove a possible burden on the man of
small income, but certainly nothing more
severe than the load which the unem-
ployed man. or the man working on part
time, has had to carry for the past year.
No reference is made in the Presi-
dents message to prohibition or law en-
forcement, two of the vitality important
matters in which public opinion is inter-
estcd This is not strange in view of the
fact that the Wickersham commission
has not as yet submitted its report. Any
recommendations along these two lines
must necessarily await the report.
The message contains some sound ad-
vice against the danger of boarding on
the part of those whose income has not
been impaired and on the need of coop
Grafton on the part of all in relieving the
distress of those upon whom the burden
has fallen most heavily.
Not the least important was his plea
for appropriations for federal highway
work which may be distributed among
the states, permitting them to proceed

PASSENGER ON
STAGE VICTIM
OF OLD GAME

other victim last night when II. l..

Pacific Greyhound stage, employed
the lunch period in a friendly
matching game and came out MI
nus five $40 American Express
travellers checks.
Snow met two men, supposed to
be passengers on the same stage,
who suggested the game. One OF
the players had the appearance OF
being slightly inebriated and as a
consequence, laughingly recon-
mended that Snow permit the other
side of the triangle to hold his ira
velers' checks as security until they
met on the stage. Snow complied
and turn his back on the two to
ascertain when the stage would
leave. In the meantime, the COM
panions disappeared.
The checks are numbered N-3407-

a little more, Johnnie uncovered the
nut.

But I mustn't eat all OF it, l must

Johnnie felt so happy and glad
at finding the big walnut that he
danced around in ring. frisking
his big, buShy tail up and down
And then, all OF a sudden, some
thing happened. Johnnie gave a

leaping about in quite a strange
way.
Along came Baby Bunty on her

"Oh, won't somebody help me?" he

Uncle Wiggily, trying not to laugh.
Then he pressed on the nut to open
the crack so Johnnie could pull out
his tail, and the surprised rabbit
girls hurried on to school. So did
Johnnie and he gave his brother,
Billie, half the walnut. But next
time he was more careful about
frisking his tail.
