a disease then unknown in Eu- rope, he returned to France in 1886.
 In 1541 Cartier returned to Canada with five ships and es- tablished a settlement, which he named Charlesbourg-Royal, near the present site of Quebec. The rigorous climate and at- tacks of hostile Indians so dis couraged the settlers that Car tier abandoned the place and took them back to France in 1542. He lived quietly at St. Malo until his death in 1857.
 While Cartier did not found a permanent colony, his explor- ations blazed the way for the building of a great empire but under another flag.

Why More Farm Land !?

It should be evident to any student of the agricultural sit uation that there is too much land under cultivation in this country already. The Secre- tary of Agriculture himself says that i've need to reduce our present acreage by 30 or 40 million acres"
 In spite of this situation, which has existed for several years, we see the government spending hundreds of millions of dollars on Boulder Dam, which is intended to bring un- der cultivation a vast area of farm land through irrigation. Numerous other irrigation pro- jects have been built by the government for the same pur- pose, and more are in prospect
 There is now before Congress a proposal to spend some 40 million dollars On the Colum bia Basin irrigation scheme, whereby about a million and a quarter acres more would be made available for farm pur- poses.
 While these things are go- ing on, the Farm Board is spending half a billion dollars in futile effort to handle the surplus farm crops already on hand. And all the taxpayers, including the farmers, must dig in their pockets to pay the bill.
 Commenting on the situa tion, Farm and Ranch, a leading ag- ricultural publication, says:
 That this Columbia Basin project should be turned down flatly by Congress, if the inter- ests of the country and espec- ially of the farmers are to be | served, will be recognized by | all unbiased men. The federal ! government should leave all 1 economic activities to private | enterprise"

 Seattle Times announces dis continuance of the daily ex- tended stock and bond tables of the New York Stock Ex- change and Curb. Good idea. More newspapers should adopt it. Public confidence in Wall Street is at a low ebb, and if newspapers refuse to pander to the desire for gambling date 1t need never return. The Times decision is significant, for this newspaper was one of the west offenders during the boom, and was also a strong advocate of the type of blue sky law which diverted capital from legitimate industry into 'tock speculation.

EXPLOSION HITS
 COAL FIELDS IN
 THE STRIKE ZONE
Six Quarts of Nitroglycer- inc Had Been Stolen Be- fore the Blast, Said the National Guardsmerl

Cadiz, o, April 20-(U. P.) = A mysterious explosion rocked the strike-torn Harrison County coal fields to-day shortly after National guardsmen reported theft of six quarts of nitroglycerine.
 Marshall H. A. Arbuckle said every house in the hamlet of Jew ett was haken by the blast.
 He said he was unable to deter- mine the cause of the blast.
 National guard officers refused to reveal where the nitro-glycerine had been taken but said. they knew the thieves.
 It was believed the explosion was touched off in one of the several trip mines that dot the area.
 A sporadic outburst of revolver fire was reported during the night near Adena, locale of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company's Som- CTS mine. No one was injured.
 Both disturbances followed day of calm after three miners had been wounded by troops firing on a crowd of pickets.
 Fears that strike sympathizers may bring in plane to spy over mine properties led Colonel Will liam l.. Marlin. commandant of To- cal troops. to order anti-aircraft guns he said.
 The action was taken after a mystery plane" had circled over the Somers mine early yesterday while two national guard scout planes were grounded. Strikers said two planes had been sent out from the Rocking Valley fields, pi- loted by World War veterans.
 Colonel Marlin said he would in- struct his guners to fire if the planes put in their appearance.

WHITES, NEGROES
 AT FORUM LECTURE
L. HOlIingsworth Wood Talked on "After the
 DepreSsiOn-What?
A PLEA FOR THE NEGRO

'.After the Depression--What ?' was discussed by l.. Hollingsworth Wood in open forum before mix cd group of Negroes and Whites at the Y. M. c. A. last night. Dr James F. Gregg, who was former ly superintendent of Hamden In- stitute. presided over the forum. The Royal Chords Quartet sang a number of Negro Spirituals.
 MT Wood a former football cap tain at Haverford College, made a hit with the young men of the Y. M. c. A. and after the forum he answered a barage of questions. He said ''The Current business reces- sion has set the negro back. Occu- pations in the household field have been taken over by the others. Jobs in hotels and apartment houses have been lost. There are fewer servants, seamstresses, barbers and contractors. Street cleaning and street paving jobs formerly done by Negroes are being done by whites. In certain cities there are fewer negro hotel walters than white.
 "This competition between whites and negroes for jobs, shows that race prejudice is not as deep seat ed as the economic depression, and after the depression and now. the Negro must choose and prepare for
