PARIS, october 14-Premier Ed
GUARD Daladier will declare state OF
emergency when Parliament reconvenes
Tuesday, it was learned officially last
night, in an effort to push through a
gold franc program in whirlwind
fashion.
The premier, following tactics Ray
mond Poincare used when he saved the
franc in 1926, will ask the Chamber OF
Deputies to adopt a procedure labeled
Exceptional urgency" in the hope q
bill to balance the budget will be voted
and fears of initiation will be allayed by
the end of the week.
Two-Third Vote Needed.
M. Daladier, who says he will stake
the life of his cabinet on the proposal,
must marshal two-thirds majority on
the emergency project.
This will limit the Finance Commit

days and will cut debate in the Cham

each article.
Three measures will be introduced
Tuesday: First, budget bill on which
special procedure will be sought; pub

MINERS WIN OUT
|NOH|OF|ELDS

COLUMBUS, Ohio d.N.S0.-
The ranks of labor have won two
great triumphs in the southern
Ohio coal fields.
After six years, they have
forced the coal operators to adopt
the CLOSED shop" policy. The
operators have at last agreed to
recognize the United Mine Work
ers Union.
Moreover, the miners have sue
cessfully withstood a demand by
the operators that they accept a
substantial pay reduction. After
numerous wage conferences, the
operators have consented to con-
tinue paying a scale adopted a
year ago which calls for pay
ment of 38 cents a ton for load
ing and 1928 for day labor.
Operators banned the union
from their mines in 1927 after a
bitter strike in which several lives
were lost. Repeatedly thereafter
they refused to negotiate with
miners through the union repre-
sentativeS, or even to meet the
union representatives in confer
ence.

uncertain terms.
It was Captain Kelly who made
martyr of Sylvia Marder, a
Brooklyn girl, who went to Jail
rather than keep her shoulder
strap in place and risk getting an
uneven tan on her back. Magis-
trate David Hirshfield gallantly
rescued Miss Marder from the
confines of a Coney Island Jail
and administered a verbal lash
ing about policemen who devote
their time to such trivial matters"
Takes Job Seriously
But Captain Kelly doesn't take
his duties lightly, even in the face
Of judicial rebuke. His rigid CEN
sorship is not going to fall on the
maidenly head this year, however.
It's the male who is coming un-
der his paternal eye. He doesn't
think the manly chest is fit OBJ
ject to gaze upon. For that rea-
son. he has issued an edict that
men will not be permitted to bathe
without the regulation trunks and

Shirtless Bathing Banned
At Coney Island

NEW YORK SD.-The
bathing season at Eastern beaches
is in full swing-and so was the
annual controversy as to just how
much, or how little, one might
wear while indulging ones self in
aquatic sports.
Reports from Atlantic City, the
Northern New Jersey resorts, and
most of the beaches in New York
indicate authorities are inclined to
, follow the advice of doctors and
allow bathers to absorb all the
ultraviolet rays they desire.
But not so in Coney Island.
For Capt. Henry E. Kelly is
the guardian of public morals
there, and he just wouldn't be able
to sleep of a night, if he thought
his charges were galloping around
Coney's white sands and prancing
between the breakers in scanty at
tire.
Problem Not New
This annual problem is nothing
new to Guardian Kelly who, last
year, thought the girls we're wear
ing suits with too much back

The General Commission of the
World Disarmament Conference
adjourned today until october Is.
Decision to abandon formal
disarmament negotiations for the

he explained why it would be wise
for the commission to adjourn.

NRESIDENT ROOSEVELTS reforestAtlOn
- program is in complete accord with all
aspects of the current forest situation
as it is known to the Forest Service
cording to l. F. Kneipp, assistant United
States forester. The latest data available show
that out of estimated area of 496. .000, 900
acres there over "a, ,o0o 900 acres which now
support little no tree growth. The restora-
tiOn of this vast area to productive condition
would have tremendous social and economic
consequences.
Much Of this denuded land occurs along the
upper stretches Of the great mountain chains
and within the watersheds of the major rivers
of the United States. In other words, says
Mr. Kneipp, this land forms a part Of the roof
of the Nation and is badly in need Of shingling.
These minor roofs" embrace the slopes of
the great Appalachian chain which stretches
from Vermont to Alabama, the great Contin-
entail Divide. great many lesser ranges of the
Pacific Coast. the Sierras, the Cascade Range
and the Siskiyou. Many of our great rivers
come tumbling down from roofs" These
rivers are fast and carry top soil into the
valleys
In the East erosion Is bad In the South
large agricultural areas have been destroyed.
Systematic protection is restoring many of these
denuded areas, but reforestation is urgently
needed to restore optimum watershed condi-
tions The time that it would take to complete
this program, says Mr.. Kneipp, depends upon
the rate of planting 1t would probably cost $5
to $40 per acre
A typical section of roof that needs
"Shingling" is the watershed of the Arkansas
River. In the balmy period of our mining his
tory, known the Cripple Greek Days" the
mountain slopes of Colorado feeding this river
were denuded of timber for building, snoring
shafting and fuel. Fire followed in the wake
OF this deforestation and destroyed such young
timber as remained Erosion followed gullies

cred with rock and in some places, 1t has been
carried away.
From the standpoint Of watershed protection
the maintenance of q forest covering is essen
tial An example of the importance of this
may also be found in Colorado. This State
has long been dubbed the "roof-tOp" Of
America. 1t has a mean elevation Of $500
feet above sea level. Only about one-fourth Of
it lies below 5000 feet in elevation. In the
State are more than 100 mountain peaks at
tanning a height of 10 900 feet greater The
great Continental Divide cuts it from north to
south entirely across its central portion. On
the eastern slope Of this divide rise the head
waters Of the North Platte, Arkansas and Rio
Grande Rivers, whose waters serve an enormous
area through the plains region to the north
and south The first three of these i'm
portant feeders Of the great Mississippi On the
western slope of the divide rises the Colorado
and many Of its major tributaries Thus Colo
radios physical characteristics, coupled with
great rain and snow fall in the mountain areas,
make the State tremendously important
watershed. And, as a consequence, water stor-
age regulation of run-on, erosion, flood con-
troll, handled in Colorado, directly affect all
neighboring States, and their influence bene-
ficial or otherwise extends to Lower California
and the Gulf of Mexico.
Colorado alone is sufficient argument for q
studied national reforestation program.
Where destructive processes have not gone too
far. says Mr.. Kneipp, I'VE should employ fire
protection for the preservation of remaining
timber restrict timber cutting and grazing ue
Where destruction has taken place 1t will be
necessary to replant This should be done with
trees indigenous to the area depleted. In the
Lake States white pine and Norway pine would
seem to be the most desirable trees to put out.
In the Rockies pondercsa pine Douglas fir and
Colorado spruce suggest themselves as most
desirable. On the coast Douglas fir Is perhaps
the most valuable tree, and In California

Japan, 1t has been said would have been

ROOSEVELT VICTOR

MO one idea of Franklin D. Roosevelt drew
more derisive criticism during the last
presidential campaign than his plan for put
ting a quarter million young men to work in
reforestation projects; nor did any of his ideas
work out any better in actual practice
Now the American Tree Association hav-
ing done some research, reports that the late
Calvin Coolidge himself had the same idea
before the 1882 campaign began. In one of
the articles he wrote for the New York Her.
ald-Tribune after leaving the White House,
Mr.. Coolidge said:
IF the government ever needs to give
work to the unemployed an enlarged sys-
tenn of reforestation would be a partial solu-
ton, free from objection. It would not in
terfere with rates Of wages or marketing of
production in any existing industries E.
Under cooperation OF federal and local gov
ernments a national policy of reforestation
should be adopted without delay"

brightest angles of the new deal"

THE PRICE OF SKILL

NNE of the most interesting lawsuits of
recent months is the half million dollar
damage suit filed against a New York law
firm the other day by Conrad H. Mann, for
mer head of the Eagles lodge.
Mann was convicted in federal court of
violating lottery laws, and promptly was par
doned by President Roosevelt. The law firm
which he has sued served as his counsel dur
ing his trial, and he is asking the damages
as compensation for humiliation, shame, and
disgrace" suffered through alleged unskillful
handling Of his case.
The suit raises neat question: What
claim has client on his lawyer if he feels
that his lawyer hasn't done his best for him?
Mann feels that proper conduct of his case
would have won his acquittal Whether he
will be able to persuade a court that this con-
tention is correct is another question; mean
while the legal profession gets an interesting
new angle on the old problem of a lawyers
relation to his client.

had wide experience with childrens theaters
abroad, has been chosen by the sponsors as
director. with Louis Simon as his principal
production assistant.
Subjects appealing to children, the COM
mittee believes, are robust American folklore,
historical adventures, at least thread of
romance for the girls, balloon trips to the
stratosphere, motors television, airplanes To
these, they should add, we believe, animated
comedy cartoons operettas, musical shows,

PRAISE FOR WOODIN

OBSERVERS at Washington do not expect
- that Mr.. Woodin will return to active
duty as head Of the treasury department.
Meanwhile, it is worth while to call attention
to the very real service that Mr. Woodin rem
dered his country.
The first days of the present administra-
ton were extremely dark The banks had
closed, most of us were running around in
circlos trying to figure out what was coming
next and the prophets of despair were pro-
claiming that the whole business was about
to come down about our ears.
But down at Washington there was a srnil-
ing, graceful little man who drifted back and
forth between the treasury department and
the White House as if the sky were blue and
cloudless.
Whatever else Mr.. Woodn did he at least
helped to quiet our fears. It was impossible
to look at his cheerful elfin figure without
feeling that maybe things weren't as bad as
we thought.
Mr.. Woodin did very valuable bit of work
in those dark days of last March Let it be
remembered to his credit now.

Of course, it is important to real
ize that this condition occurs in
epidemic form and that single cases
are usually not seen.
In studying methods of control of
this disease, it has been found that
large doses of quinine take care of
it satisfactorily, perhaps because the
causative organism, whatever it may
be, yields to quinine as does the
causative organism of malaria.
AS physicians have investigated
new diseases throughout the world,
it is being found that disease as

FOUNDATION is REACHED

II ECONOMISTS who discuss the business up
~ turn which has taken place so far this
year usually point out that we can't really say
that prosperity is returning until the pro-
ducers' goods industries begin to revive.
These industries are the ones which pro-
duce basic commodities used in production of
other goods sold directly to the public--such
things as machinery, engines and turbines,
foundry and machine shop equipment, agri-
cultural implements structural metal work,
and the like. Until their business improves,
good times will remain in the distance.
Now, however, it is announced at Wash
ington that producers goods industries are
beginning to feel the revival. If this is true,
and if the revival continues. we shall have
the best of reasons for feeling encouragement
about the return of prosperity.
