BUSH MAY CHANGE
AMERICAN DESERT
TranspIanting of Karroo
From Africa Thought Likely
to End Dreariness.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TUCSON, Ariz., June 1S.-Much of
the appalling dreariness Of the vast
desert stretches Of the Southwestern
United States may be blotted out with
in the next generation, If the expected
success Of a botanical experiment be-
ing conducted by the Boyce Thompson
adoretum materializes.
A humble looking shrub known as
karroo bush, imported from Africa, is
the agency counted upon to effect the
change.
If the achievements Of this shrub
in Africa can be duplicated here, the
face Of the great empire of desolation
may be transformed into a sweet"
bush veldt capable of supporting big
herds of cattle and game animals.
Section Now Desolate.
A large area in Southwestern Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada is
now chiefly the habitat of the almost
worthless sage, mesquite, ereesewood
and brambly brush, and of the prairie
tlesnake.
Two years Of research work have dis
closed that transplanting the karroo
bush does not affect its fighting quail
ties, particularly in regions where soil
and climatic conditions are similar to
those in Africa.
The karroo grows about 2 feet high
and spreads like devils grass, its
branches taking root wherever they
touch ground. It's sweep across even,
barren terrain Is almost irresistible, and
this characteristic, it Is believed, would
enable it to crowd out the waste vege-
tation and in time reign supreme where
nothing of value now grows.
Roots Active in Freezes
The roots on the African shrub re-
main active at freezing temperatures
when desert plants are dormant, and
will grow at various levels, the Boyce
Thompson Arboretum has ascertained
Patches have been planted at eleva-
tions of 1900 feet, 2400 feet and 4,500
feet and found to thrive
UnWatered karroo bush yields 1912
per cent Of protein, which is almost as
much as irrigated alfalfa.
No matter how often 1t Is eaten to
the ground it comes up again, juicy
and dcggedly persistent to spread.
If given reasonable protection at the
start it is believed the shrub will soon
get focthold on the desert areas, in
time crowding out the vegetation which
now dominates them.

QUITS AS CONDUCTOR
OF WAGNER FESTIVAL
Wilhelm Furtwaengler Resigns
and Toscanini Is Named Di-
rector at Bayreuth.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 18.-Wilhelm Furt-
waengler resigned today as conductor
at the Bayreuth festival of Wagner
operas ccincident with news that Ar
turo Toscanini, italian conductor, had
been appointed director of the festival.
The resignation of Herr Furtwaengler
was attributed to differences of opinion
between him and Frau Winifred
Wagner. widow of Siegfried Wagner.
Frau Wagner, whose husband was a
son Of the composer, Richard Wagner,
has been in charge Of the festival plays.
1t was recalled that Herr Furt-
waengler, who is conductor of the Ber-
lin Philharmonic Orchestra, recently
made disparaging remarks concerning
American orchestras, styling them
luxury puppies" His remarks, nae
during the diamond jubilee of the
Berlin orchestra, drew storm of criti-
cism from both sides of the Atlantic.

MASS MEETING TO PROTEST PLAN
AFFECTING WIVES IN u. S. SERVICE
Woman's Party Will Take Up Recommendation of
Economy Bill Conferees Today.

The National Woman's Party will hold
mass meeting at o'clock this after
noon to protest against the recommended
ton OF the House and Senate conferees
on the general economy bill that in the
event 1t should become necessary to keep
within appropriations wives whose hus-
bands also are in the Government serv-
Ice should be the first to be dismissed.
The meeting will be held at Alva Bel
mont House, la B street, where about
month ago, at similar meeting, 1t
was suggested that If Congress took
such action against married women, the
remedy for that would be for the mar
ried women whose husbands also we're
In Government service to secure legal
separations to retain their jobs.
The provision agreed upon by the con-
fereeS is as follows:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-06-19

"In any reduction Of personnel -
married persons diving with husband or
wife, I" shall be dismissed before any
other persons If such husband or
wife Is also in the service of the United
States or the District of Columbia ="
In the appointment of persons to the
Civil Service. preference shall be given
to persons other than married persons
living with husband or wife, such hus-
band or wife being In the service of
the United States or the District of
Columbia"
Members Of the Nationa Woman's
Party have steadfastly maintained that
dismissal of a woman from the Gov
eminent service because her husband
happens to be working for the Govern
ment Is unfair, and has carried on an
active campaign against the proposal.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-06-19

than IL per cent Of any appropriation
for an executive department, independ-
ent establishment or the municipal
government of the District for the 1888
fiscal year shall be transferred to any
other appropriation under the same de-
partment or establishment. The amend
ment further provides that no appro-
priation shall be increased by more
than Is per cent by such transfers.
A mandatory reduction Of 10 per
cent on the Init of cost on all public
construction and improvement projects
is required in another Senate amend
flent accepted by the conferees.
This provision affects all projects
irrespective Of whether an appropria-
ton has been made. As to such projects
where contract has been made at a
cost less than that upon which the
authorization was based. the provision
stipulates that the cost shall not be in
creased by any changes or additions not
essential for completion OF the project
as originally planned.
In another Senate amendment ac-
cepted by the House there Is pro-
vision which stipulates that in cases of
leases hereafter made or renewal of
leases previously made, the rental paid
for any building used for Government
purposes shall not exceed the annual
rate of Is per cent of the fair market
value of the property at the date OF
the lease This provision does not apply
to leases of buildings in foreign coun-
tries for the Foreign Service of the
United States.
The per diem fees for jurors is fixed
in another Senate amendment on
which the House receded at 50 during
the 1888 fiscal year. This is redue
ton of 81 day. In the same section
per diem fee for witnesses is fixed at
penses of subsistence Of witnesses Is
suspended.
Amend Reorganization Plan.
The conferees left in the bill Sem
ate amendment authorizing the PreSi-
dent to reorganize and consolidate GER
tain executive branches of the Govern
ment, subject to the veto by either
house of Congress. The conferees. how
ever, inserted an amendment exclud-
ing the War and Navy Departments. In
the case of these departments the pro-
vision applies only TO the merging Of
such activities except those of purely
military nature as in the judgment OF
the President may be common to both.
The House also receded on Serate
amendment transferring the duties,
powers and functions of the Personnel
Classification Board to the Civil Service
Commission. The House bill authorized
the President to make the transfer by
executive order In this connection
the corferees restored the position OF
director of classification. which was
abolished by the House bill. The trans
fer of the Personnel Classification
Board under the amendment will take
effect October l next.
Employees of the radio division Of
the Commerce Department. which is
transferred to the Federal Radio Com
mission. will be retained in the Govern
ment service. Under the House bill all
officers ard employees who in the judg-
ment Of the President are not needed
in the service would have been dis
missed.
In one Of the final sections Of the
bill the confereeS agreed to a Senatn

A HELPING HAND FOR SALLY

Ted and Jack drifted into a lazy conversation as they stretched out in the deep chairs that flanked the fire place. Jack lighted his pipe, and Ted reached for his.
 Sally had gone with Dr Raynor, although she had hesitated at first. Sue began to gather up the dishes, and Sarah and Joan helped her.
 "Youre generous" Sarah told her. Do you always give your men away so freely?"
 "Give my men away? It's easy to give away someone you don't want, don't you think? Besides I'm about as interesting to Joe Raynor as a rag doll. I'm some- one in whom to confide, and men need to confide. They have to have an audience that laughs at the right word, and knows some ad- jectives and how to deliver them. Of course, when they can get a heart-kick out of the audience, they prefer it, but then nobody objects to a little applause from any source.'
 "Dale Courtneys a swell person but we're related and I was just a read-headed third or fourth cousin to him. He fell for Ruth so hard I was afraid he skinned his knees or something"
 Aren't you in love with any one ?" Sarah asked, laughing as she did it. "Men are Tn love with you. You're the type. But what about you"

 Better let the romance end there," Sarah supplied, wiping the amber cups and saucers and put ting them in the yellow cupboard. "If Romeo had lived he might have grown bald and Hero and Le- ander might have had false teeth. Romance can't last too long,"

 "She would probably come for her room and board" Sue answer ed. And she wouldn't object to being a waitress and assistant host ess, I sure. Try her out. think she's changed"
 As the girls came back to the living room the telephone rang with a warm, friendly ring.
 Sounds like good news this time," Jack said, smiling as he picked up the phone.

 A DARK VIEW or THE lrAKE-
 UP PROBLEM.
 The term brunei covers q long line of women. It runs all the way from school girls with nut brown eyes, and candlelight gleams in their hair, to the black-eyed senoritas who gaze languorousiy from behind their haunting wells. Naturally, there must be types of makeup for each, If 8 brunei is going to avoid the painted look that gives her a incorporating ap- pearance.
 If your skin is fair, although your hair is brown, and your eyes are blue instead of brown, your powder will run to peach or rachel You must depend on medium rouge and lipstick to supply your color ing. Blue eye-shadow will be ef- fective, and if you need an eye brow pencil the blue effect will be better than other colors, as rule. You might try black, though, if you prefer.
 If your skin has warm olive shades, and your eyes have more brown in them than anything else, you will need one of the brunei powders. You will need a rouge that borders on flame. Brown or green eye shadow will be effect i've, and by all means use a brown eye pencil.
 If your hair is black and your eyes are, too, you will use even more vivid lipstick. If your skin is white you may prefer to em phasize this fact, and not use rouge.
 Different lights require differ- ent powders, too. Since powders are being sold in bulk it is pos- sible to have different shades for day time wear and evening wear. One of the new powder boxes has two compartments, one of which contains the shade for sunlight and the other the tone you will want when the candles shine and the orchestra finds a Hitting melody.

TEXAS BULLFROGS STALKED
 RANCHER'S YOUNG TURKEYS


 Kerrville, Tex-(UP)-Bullfrogs are making away with John Hem derson's young Thanksgiving tur- keys.
 Henderson, a rancher, became puzzled by the daily decrease in his flock. Shotgun in hand. he followed the fowls. The hen led them along a creek bank. Hen derson believed he saw a huge bullfrog leap out of the water gobble down a young turkey and dive back into the stream.
 Unable to believe it, he had be- hind a tree to watch. determined to find out whether it was true. Shortly a frog thrust its head from the water. Henderson shot 1t and ripped it open with his knife. In the frogs stomach he found the young turkey.
