Drought Continues

Washington, Aug (P) - The worst recorded drought in the coun- try's history continued today to pile up new endurance records-and the end was not in sight.
 In hundreds of communities pas turcs were as bleak as if they had been killed by frost and the green or the forests was broken by autumn-like splotches of yellow from dead leaves. Forest fires were prevalent danger in sections east Of the Mississippi where at this sea son they ordinarily are unknown.
 Streams and lakes had receded leaving in their wake dead and dy- ing fish. Water shortage was acute in~the hills. Many church congre- gations have met to pray for rain.
 Crops Damaged
 Hot weather in the Mississippi valley added to the anxiety. II caused estimates of damage 10 corn, already placed at hundreds of mil lions of bushels. 10 mount. Sharply 'i'SAi'l plIItS U!l tIle STdlH eSCQdnEeE resulted.

The camp is considerably better than the boys expected. many of the boys have radios in the barracks and the music can be heard as they walk down the company streets.
 The barracks are crowded and the result is that captains have to share their rooms with one and two others. The second lieutenants are occuping one barracks to a regi- ment and the first lieutenants are also in one barracks.
 Newspaper men in camp have the best sleeping quarters. They have a special barracks in a cool. shaded spot and there are only two to 6 room. They are the envy of the major, captains and lieutenants Ar engagements are made for daily con- ferences with a representative of di- visonal headquarters who arrives at II o'clock in the morning when he is assured the newspaper men have had opportunity for plenty of sleep and hearty breakfast. Until today there has been seven reporters m | camp. Six Of them are from Con- necticut

Violates Fire Law
 To OutWit Boomers

Some of the steady roomers in the Hotel Central, at 320 Main street near the railroad crossing, have slipped something over on their pa tient landlady, Mrs. Mary Mccarthy and in trying to stop the practice she is said to have broken law. This was not held against her, how ever. nor was she bothered by the police.
 Mrs. Mccarthy has many male roomers, and sometimes they watch their opportunity to sneak" friends through the rear entrance and 10 the rooms, and forget to pay Mrs. Mccarthy for the extra guests.
 When Mrs. Mccarthy found thlt some of her roomers were cheating, she locked and bolted the rear en- trance. Some of the roomers who use this entrance exclusively could not get in, and they went to Deputy Fire Chief Barnes and complained that Mrs. CcCarthy was breaking the fire exit law. The deputy chief investigated and told Mrs. Mccarthy that she must not lock the rear door

Worst Wave in Years

Chicago, Aug. 4 P-One of the longest and most intense heat waves Of recent years held the nation in it's merciless grip today.
 The effects of the blistering sun and wind were felt in nearly all cec- tions of the country. but the prnci- pal crop damage was in the middle of the continent where three weeks of drought have made serious in roads on the cornfelds.
 Governments forecasters saw no permanent relief in sight. There is some chance of local thunderstorms and very sight rainfall. they said, but the heat wave is not expected to be broken for at least another week.
 Corn Crop in Danger
 To the farmer whose principal crop is corn. this meant cerious hardship. Another week IS hot and dry as the last two would seriously damage even late planted corn. The earlier part of the crop has been hurt to such an extent that private estimates suggest a loss of around 4O0,000,000 bushels already.
 Pasturage has also been burned badly and may affect dairy products. Rivers and lakes are so low, the U. S. bureau of fisheries announced, that the nations fish population is in the most distress ever experienced. The Mississippi has fallen so much that river navigation is hampered and many boats are grounded. One of Nations Worst . Yesterday was one of the hottest days ever recorded in the United States with records falling in the east. the middlewest and the south west. Boston. 96, set a new high mark for the season and equalled the all time record for August. It was 100 in Washington, 96 in Balti- more, s4 in Philadelphia and 92 in New York. It was the hottest day in | Providence, R. l., since 1917, ther- mometers reaching 97. The 105 re- corded at Keedysville. Md. was among the highest eastern tempera- lures.

Kansas City's government thermometer reached 107.2 and the mean tenn perature for the day was 97, the highest on record. Other high tenn peratures included Sac City, It.
