 "It is evidently not necessary to soak the soil around the roots with the material, as the plant ab- sorbs enough of it to do the kill ing. If the poison ivy is growing over stone walls or piles of stone it may be necessary to put on a second application later in the sea son. One should be particularly careful not to get this solution on anything other thap the plant to be killed, as it will destray all green vegetation with which it comes in contact.
 This chlorate solution is not particularly poisonous to animals and no special care need be taken, to keep animals away from it after it is sprayed on the plants. The material does not kill large trees and shrubs unless sprayed di- rectly on them."

New Haven, Aug 17-Experience has shown the Connecticut agri- cultural experiment station that spraying with calcium chlorate is the most effective method of eradi- eating poison ivy.

 In reply to many inquiries the station has released the following directions:
 "The best thing we have found to kill poison ivy is calcium chlo- rate used at the rateof one-half pound to a gallon of water, this material to be sprayed on the

 When the boat is not in mo- tion, the hyrofoil is submerged. As the speed increases, the craft gradually leaves the water until only the steel band and a tiny fin in the rear is touching the surface of the water. The rest of the boat is clear. creating the impression of flying boat"

HITLER CRITICS
TOLOSE JOBS

BERLIN Q.NSO.-Existence of
a whispering campaign" against
Nazi rule, even among government
employees and workmen engaged
on state projects, has just been
formally admitted by Hitler's
strong-arm man, Capt. Hermann
Goering, minister-president of
Prussia.
With the same frankness that
he shows in avowing the discon-
tent in the ranks, Goering, in
circular to all Prussian employees,
lets it be known that all those
found grabbing at or even gently
kidding the present regime will
not only lose their jobs, but be
treated as disguised Socialist or
Communistic agitators.
Goering's action, it is under
stood, was prompted by the recent
tearing down of a Swastika flag
and it's dragging in the mud by
a young Polish Jew, Jacob Ehren-
freud by name, in Wilmersdorf.
The desecration of the Nazi en-
blem was accomplished, it ap-
pears, in the presence of a group
of workmen engaged by the gov
ernment for road repairing, and
who never protested.

Braden has informed the county
board.
In addition representatives of
two firms which would bid on
furnishing the pipe for use in the

could find a suitable site and if
they received the bid.

Question of Rejoining A.F. OIL.
Expected to Come Up Again
In National Federation
By DUNCAN FORSYTH


Indications were today that the
coming conventions Of the Ma
tional Federation Of Federal EN-
ployes and the American Fedora
tion of Government Employees, to
be held, respectively, in KanS.s
City and Washington, win SerVs
to release the greatest outpouring
Of pent-up grievances Federal
workers have expressed in history.
The National Federation's con-
vention will open on September 4,
and the rival group meets the
following week.
OF late a militant faction has
been urging, in view of the crisis
In Government service brought
about by the economy measures,
that the National Federation re-
affiliate with the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, and it Is con-
sidered a strong probability that
q demand for reunion will be
made on the convention floor.
Division in the ranks of Fed
eral employees, due to the break
with the American Federation of
Labor, has resulted in the adop-
tion of entirely different tactics
by the two national organiza-
tions, but both are insistent upon
restoration of standards in the
Federal service to the status that
existed before the economic crisis.
Favor Old Standards
The National Federation of
Federal Employees will be faced,
at the Kansas City convention,
with a host of resolutions sub
mitted by local unions, most OF
them concerned with broad gen.
eral policies. The convention,
which is counted upon to produce
plenty of fireworks, will un-
doubtedly take strong stand in
favor Of the traditional standards
Of the civil service.
The other group. operating in
Its own fashion, will seek code
protection for government work
ers, analogous to that given pri-
vate industry by the National Re
covery Act. Inasmuch asp this
code protection cannot be af-
forded by General JohnSon's or
ganization, it will be sought from
the President and Congress.
