REPORT SAYS
 NATION NEEDS
 MORE FORESTS
Fewer Farms Also Sug- gested in Yearly Digest
 By Forester

Washington.-The nation needs more forests and fewer farms, Federal Forester Robert R. Stuart writes in his annual report to the secretary of agriculture. He sug- gests the restoration of millions of acres of farm lands as a partial solution of two national problems, agricultural over-production and forest depletion.
 More land has been brought under cultivation than can be
 farmed, if the farming is well done, without creating burden some agricultural surpluses," states the forester" Only within the last decade has the public thought turned toward the idea that farm ing might be overdone-that it's development did not imply the ex- pansion of agriculture at the ex- pense of the forest. Public policies are now taking shape that seek to reclothe with forests both lands on which agriculture can no long, CT be practiced successfully and cut-over lands, formerly thought to be destined for agricultural use.
 "Slackening increase in popula- ton and present trends in agri- culture make it clear that inten- sive use of our entire land area will not be necessary for a long time to come. This places us in the fortunate position of being able to locate our agriculture where 1t can be carried on more effectively. In the same way, intensive forest pro- duction should be allocated to those portions of the remaining area where production is most ef- fective and most needed"

WALTER HUSTON IN NEW THRILLER THE RULING
 VOICE" AT WARMERS STATE

Manager Julia M. Smith, of Warner Brothers State theater, an nounces tomorrow as the opening date of 'The R uling Voice." the much-heralded and sensational ex- pose of the big business operations of those who grow fabulously rich by cornering the food supplies of the country-and by using even more relentless-if more suavely disguised-methods than those em- ployed by gangs of less "class."
 The story, which was written by Rowland V. and Donald w. Lee. is a transcription of an unbelievable drama that was staged in actual life in one of our big towns not so long ago.
 Walter Huston was chosen by the producers as the man who could best portray the grim role of Bannster-czar of the milk trust. Mir Huston plays the part without any of the trappings of the conventional politician. Outwardly he Is a polished gentleman and pa- triotic citizen. Only those who come before hi mas enemies of his grating organization know the ruthless cruelty of which he Is capable.
 Of this group is one Bailey whose son has been killed and whose small milk business has been krecked. If Bannister grills him, through a slto in a closed door Bailey gets his chance, later. to re- | pay with interest.

New York.-Those who prefer Broadway as a choice of Manhat- I tan playgrounds are welcome to it.. I'll still take Second avenue! For, after a number of years of
 rambling about this town, this main stem of the East Side seems less spoiled by changing times. Oh. yes, it has changed! Attempts have been made to make it look like
 Broadway. But the nations of the earth that have settled on the fringe of this thoroughfare keep alive the gypsy fddlers; the charm ing chants of, the Yiddish ballad singers; the lullabies of black-eyed Russian girls; the soft, hollow in- tonations of the zymbalom; the dis
 sonances and sentimental heart breaks in the folk songs as played by the Hungarian bands.
 Yes, you can drop in on Broad way places where Gypsy Marakoff plays and sings or where Tamara strums a guitar mad sings glam- orous love songs-but the back ground of Broadway is there!
 Second avenue, to be sure, has made few concessions in the di- rection of Broadway. The Rus sian Arts has a dance floor and a canopy over the streets and a
 lighted marquee. And college boys and girls to romp about of
 Saturday nights. But on an even- ing earlier in the week, the att mosphere here, as elsewhere in Second avenue, agrees more ami- ably with its geography.

HALLOWEEN NOTES

Saturday, after sunset, comes Hallowe'en!
 It is a feast for boys and girls, more than for grown folk. The fact is that adults usually do not prize the feast day very highly they may be annoyed by mischief young filks do.
 A wise thing for adults to do is to provide boys and girls with wholesome fun on this occasion. A Halloween party, If it can be ar ranged, is just the thing. Ducking for apples is amusing, and there are still other ways to avoid all worry about the witches. November is "All Saints Day" In former times it was called the day of All Hallows." The night before was called ''All Hallows Eve" or "Hallows Eve" In due time this gave place to Hal lowe'en."
 People who lived in England dur ing the time of Henry VII and of the noise which took place on 1ldliOWC CLl. DuAihS thC ASL6A VI Queen Elizabeth a rule was made against the needless ringing of bells at Allhallowntide, and the ewo days next before and after" Many are the strange customs which have been followed in Eng land, Scotland and Ireland at Halloween time. One of these was the placing of hazel-nuts on a l grate above an open fire. The nuts | were arranged in pairs and named | for different persons of opposite sex. If either of the nuts "cracked | and jumped" it meant that the two persons woul6 not get along we'll together. If, on the other hand. the nuts burned brightly and steadily, it meant happy mar riage.
 Of course all that was foolish ness, but I suppose the youths and maidens took it in fun and did not guide their lives by the history o1 | the haZel-nuts.
 Ducking for apples is a custom
 which goes back hundreds of years
 Trying to catch hold of a swing. ing apple with the teeth is another | old custom. A picture made by ar
 artist of the Middle Ages show
 boys trying that stunt. Personally
 I do not recommend it-too hard {
 swing of the apple might result 1T
 loosening someone's front teeth. 1 I like to see good fun on Hal
 lowe'en, but such pranks as ringing doorbells or putting soap oI
 windows seem to me poor sport -
 and also rather silly. There arr
 plenty of ways to enjoy yoursel
 without causing trouble to othe ! persons.

DAILY NEWS LETTER

Berlin. (UP)-Vienna's leading humorist, Paul Morgan, other- wise known as "Austria's Will Rogers who recently returned from a long visit to the United States, has been regaling audiences at local vaudeville theaters with what he terms 'the low-down on the United States" Although he does not cultivate the lasso and re- frains from chewing gum while behind the footlights, Morgan em- ploys an irony reminiscent of his American contemporary. Hollywood, where he spent most of his time, collecting a large sal- ary for doing no work, as he boasts, was not wholly pleasing to him.
 Yearned for Clouds "The Californian sun smiles and smiles until one yearns for the sight of a cloud" he protested. Hollywood's feminine charm was apparently partly lost on Morgan. who has been telling inquisitive Berlin theater-goers. Hollywood women are beautiful, but stupid" "They are full of inhibitions, ,' he added, land mortally afraid of losing their figures"
 Having dined with Greta Garbo, Morgan found it prosaic to hear this star ask him while at the table, kindly pass the mustard" He quoted Greta Garbo as saying that she likes neither Hollywood nor the screen as profession to any great extent.
 Hurt Local Pride
 He did not spare the local pride of Rerliners by remarking that the Brightest district in the Ger man capital, Berlin's milky-way. Hooks like short-circuit on Broadway"
 Niagara Falls aroused his ire.
 ..eLovely--and horrible" he ex- claimed. "why. they flood the Falls with artificial light. colored like strawberry ice-cream!"
 Morgan pleases his audiences who, accustomed to reading pane- gyrics about the United States in many German newspapers. evident ly find 1t refreshing to listen to a dissenting commentator.
