The planting Of more cherry

replace those killed by a high
river last year, will be asked Of
Lieut.. Col. q. s. Grant, Sd, a
park committee from his office

It is not likely. however, that
the trees will be Of the Japanese
variety, because of the length Of
time needed to obtain them.
Trees in the parks throughout
the city are said to be in better

mittee also intends to recommend
the planting of more nutbearing
trees in Rock Creek Park to pro

WATER DENIED
1,700 At FORT
p s'''ss

"Water, water, everywhere, but
not a drop to. drink" is the plight
under which Fort Humphreys
carries on.
According to authorities, there
is sufficient bathing and washing
water from the river, but this Is
not suited for drinking purposes.
The river water can be filtered
and chlorinated until it is clean,
but the chemical taste would
make it almost impossible to
drink.
If the 1,7Oo men could drink
that water, they would be sub
ject to various intestinal dis
orders, it was said.
When the 121St Engineers
Regiment went down on it's an
nual encampment several weeks
ago they instituted one-truck ser
vice and now the truck is joined
by another tank truck which is
carrying water to the post proper.
Each truck has a capacity of
1900 gallons per trip and makes,
usually, four trips a day.

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Aug.
15.-Despite the efforts Of fight
ers, the forest fire on Sleep
Greek Mountain, near the Nor
gan Berkeley county line, about
Is miles from this city, which

worst to occur in this section Of
the State for many years.
Broke Out I'm Three Places
It broke out in three separate
places almost 10 days ago, but
was subdued by backfires., A
stiff wind the following day scat
tered sparks over the tinderlike
growth and the mountain was
quickly ablaze once more.
Since then the rangers and
volunteers have worked continu-
ouSly, but have been unable to
check its spread.
Thus far, efforts to keep the
fire from entering the extensive
meadow branch game preserve
have been successful, and more
fighters have been recruited from
both counties.
Backfires Used
Backfires, several miles ahead
Of the advancing blaze have been
built in efforts to checks the
flames.
A number of rattlesnakes,
driven from their denS with their
young have been killed by the
rangers.
Slight rains today and the
promise Of more favored the fire
fighters.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
National Advertising Representatives
An "Odd Jobs" Campaign

There are two ways Of meeting any sort Of mis-
fortune. One is to sit down and call on the world
to witness that you are being foully treated. The
other is to roll up your sleeves and go out and do
something to make things better.
AS far as the present economic depression goes. the
first method seems 70 be more popular with most Of
Us. We read and hear Of men who are close to the
situation because they can't get work. and we shake
our heads and feel very sorry for them-and let 1t go
at that.
There are exceptions. however. In Racine, Wis,
the citizens decided to adopt the second course; and
they have gone to work so effectively that their action
deserves TO be broadcast over the nation so that other
cities may copy it.
An intelligent columnist named Tex Reynolds, who
writes for the Racine T~1mes-Call, got the idea that
a bit Of a job, no matter how paltry, does a iobless
man q lot more good than a lot OF public waiing.
With the aid Of his paper, he launched what you
might call an Odd Job Campaign. urging everyone in
Racine who possibly could to find. or invent, some
sort Of odd job that some unemployed workman
could fill.
Business and civic leaders fell in line enthusiastic
ally. The unemployed men were enrolled, so that
people could see just how many men needed work.
Citizens who had regular Jobs looked around for
chances to hire men. Some engaged men to clean
their furnaces. Others found they could pay a couple
OF dollars to have ashes hauled away and rubbish
removed. Others found other small jobs. All in all,
a good many men we're given work that they needed
very badly, and a good many flat pocketbooks got a
little much-needed stuffing.
Now the important thing about all Of this is that
It is the sort Of measure that any city or town can
take. 1t is adapted to the biggest city in the country
and to the smallest. 1t does not need a lot of wealthy
people TO make IL a success. The man Of modest
means can take an important part in it.
Some Of the jobs obtained In this manner prove
permanent. Most Of them last only a day or a week.
But In either case they are extremely valuable to the
men who get them. A five-dollar bill looks pretty big
TO the man who hasn't worked since May. And it's
a lot better for him to get it by earning it than by
having some charitable organization hand 1t to him.
1t is hard to over-eStimate the gain that might be
made If every city and town should put on a similar
campaign A great deal OF misery and suffering
could be averted and a real stride toward better. more
active business could be made. Why not give 1t a
try? These Racine people have an idea that deserves
copying.

All OF this stuff about lovely Clara Bow and the
rubber checks she issued TO the Nevada gamblers who
took her for $4,000 IS beginning to 90 Just a little
stale.
It is very interesting, OF course. to learn that Clara
went TO a gambling house escorted by VIII Rogers
that she plunged heavily with the luck against heT
and that she stopped payment on the checks she pre-
scented. But. after all. the fate Of the nation hardly
hangs on our proper understanding Of the matter. !:
is hardly worth mulling over any longer.
So We can only hope that the whole business will
speedily be forgotten. We have heard Just about
enough of it. It really isn't very funny any longer.
