There are many silences, many moods
There is the silence. hushed and almost
tangible. just as the first faint spears
of light reflect from the fast disappear

and the dawn breeze stir with gentle
and ever-increasing insistence the
black-edged woodlands. Then there is
the mood of nightfall. Sounds die to
muted humble and live again in the
swishing underbrush. bent under the
pattering passage of night-prowllng
creatures. Rainy days have black, dis
elal moods, with mountain freshets
lending a wild. hysterical note. There
is the madcap tempestuous mood OF
many caprices induced by the lashlng
high wind hurting storms across gray
cloVeed peaks. Then there is the soft,
healing mood of pure sunshine. The
forest is healing comforter, supplying
a complement to every temperament.
Nature Studied.
Members of the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps sense unconSciouSly these

camp. Daily pilgrimages were made
to inspect the queer creatures and
measure their slow development to
maturity. The foul odor pervading the
atmosphere near the nest was the most
pronounced characteristic, members
finally agreed.

Asylum for Indians here. today denied
charges from Washington against his
institution.
The Interior Department charged in
q statement yesterday that perfectly

institution were "sickening" and in
tolerable." The accusations were made
after an investigation by DR.. S. A.
Silk of Washington.

Anybody can come here and see con-
ditions for themselves. We have moth
ing to hide. In fact. we want to get
this thing in the open and see what's
behind It,"
Dr. Hummer intimated that politics
was the reason for the charges. He
added he was considering asking a con-
gressional investigation.
The Canton director asserted Govern
ment officials. in attacking conditions
at the hospital, were actuated by q de-
sire to close 1t. because, he said, it is
the only one Of its kind in the country
and they don't want to be bothered

PREPARE TO BLOCK
MILK AGREEMENT
independent Distributors to
Fight Proposal by Produc-
ers' Association.

independent milk distributors met to-
day to plot a course of action to block
adoption Of a code proposed by the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers
Association.
The producers proposed code was
filed by John McGill. jr.. secretary Of
the association.
If the agreement adheres to those
promulgated in other milk sheds, 1t
eventually will result in higher prices
being paid. for milk by consumers, in
the opinion Of dairy.nen.
y The code, as published in The Star
a fortnight ago. called for prices OF %
cents a gallon for class ! milk and %
cents for class 2, with the price for
class 3. the so-called surplus. to be
determined by agreement between pro-
ducers and distributors
Propose to Fight Agreement.
The meeting of independent dis
tributors. recently organized rs the In
dependent Distributors Association. was
called by Robert L. Dickson Of Alderney
Dairy, president Of the group. 1t is the
purpose of the association to fight the
proposed producers agreement on the
ground it is unfair to the producers.
Members of the association have come
out fatty against continuation Of the
three class plan of milk purchase and
are prepared to seek in its place adop-
ton of a one-price plan. which they
contend is fairer to the producers in
that they will not be at the mercy of
big dairy interests in the fixing of
prices.
McGM Will Be Witness.
Coming on the eve of the resumption
OF hearings In the Senate District Com
mittees milk investigation, the subnis-
sion Of the proposed agreement was seen
by Elwood H. Seal, committee investlga-
tor, as move to seek approval before
the full results of the investigation have
been disclosed
Seals inquiry so far tends to prove
virtual control of the producers organ
ization by the National Dairy Products
Corporation, he said.
McGill will be Seals first witness
when the hearings resume at the Capitol
at 10 am. tomorrow. He will be fol-
lowed by Frank Walker, president OF
the producers association, and Isaac
Heaps, manager Of the Eastern States
Milk Marketing Association to which
the Maryland and Virginia group has
assigned its contracts.
