Grass Hats Soil Erosion

Grass not only prevents erosion
but well managed grazing land loses
less fertility, because less is taken
from the soil by pasture plants and
part OF that which Is removed Is
restored by herds. Land planted to
corn on an s to 10 per cent slope
In Missouri and North Carolina
loses from Is to II tons of soil an
acre usually. Land growing blue
grass or lespedeza loses only 0.S to
90 ton an acre. Similar results
were obtained In a comparison of

CARTER'S MIND.
ON NQUEEN,NOT
KING s CURSE
Veteran EgyptoIogist Braves
"Jinx" in New Hunt for
Tomb of Tut's Wife
By GEORGE LAIT

LONDON, Oct. 26 u.N.SJ' =
Braving the so-called Course"
which he always ridiculed, How
ard Carter, 61-year-old dean of
British egyptologists. has de
parted for the Valley Of Kings
again in search Of new treasures
hidden from the world for CEN
turieS.
He is determined this time to
find the tomb of Queen Ankh'Es-
Enamen, the wife of Tut-Ankh-
Amen, whose sepulchre he dis
covered in 1928, after a 16-year
search.
It was a discovery followed by
a series of violent deaths which
claimed several members of Mr.,
Carter's expedition in ensuing
years, and superstitiouS Egyptians
ascribed them to a purported in
scription in the Pharaoh's tomb
xutS OuFSC
Although many egyptologlSts
deny it, legend has insisted that
on a wall above the entrance to
the room which held the saFco.
phagus, the following was in
scribed:
"Here lies the great king and
whosoever disturbs this tomb,
on him may the curse Of the
Pharaoh rest"
Mr.. Carter never commented
on the truth of the report that
Tut.Ankh-Amen had thus at.
tempted to protect his last resting
place from invading hands, but he
always scoffed when his attention
was called to the fact that a dozen
or more Of those present when
the tomb was opened have since
died.
A Practical Man
Mr.. Carter is far less concerned
with ancient Egyptian curses than
ne is with the practical possibil-
ity that the tomb of Ankh-Es-
Enamen may be at last found.
He feels certain it will be To-
Gated in the Valley of Kings near
the spot where Tut's mummy was
found, and, should it have escaped
the depredationS Of ancient raid
ers, should yield treasures as great
as those found in TutAnkh-Am Amen's
tomb.
Queen Ankh-Es-E s-Enamen ruled in
the golden age of ancient Egypt.
She was the daughter of Ikhnaton,
SON Of the illuStrious Amenhotep
w., and during her lifetime came
a great revolution in Egyptian art
and building which set the pace
for centuries to follow.

FORM LETTER

The ruddy, genial face Of Post
master General James A. Farley
was trifle redder than usual to-
day-all because of CALIFORNIA; S
boiling political situation. which
finds Upton Sinclair, the re-
claimed Socialist, trying to ride
into the governorship on the back
Of the Democratic donkey.
The administration decided
early to have as little to do as
possible with the firecracker
situation in California and with
Mr.. Sinclair. Other Democratic
candidates received the usual pat
on the back and "beSt wishes"
Some of them have been aided in
more material ways. But not Mr..
Sinclair.
President Silent
It is true that Mr.. Sinclair
made a pilgrimage to the summer
White House at Hyde Park and
conferred lengthily with President
Roosevelt some weeks ago. After
that meeting Mr.. Sinclair said ,he
was charmed" and "delighted"
with his reception. From Mr..
Roosevelt emanated nothing but
silence.
Taking his cue from his chief,
Mr.. Farley. who is also Demo
cratic national chairman, has
been strangely quiet about Mr..
Sinclair and his epic plan for
saving California.
But the genial chairman reck-
oned without the ponderouS and
efficient machinery of the Demo

he built up. and of which he Is

BUSINESS FEAR
ASSUAGED BY
PRESIDENT
Address to Bankers and Bond
Club Speech by Richberg
ReaSSure Timid
BY EARL GOODWIN


Events in the higher levels
of the Roosevelt administration,
eliminating in the speech of the
President before the American
Bankers Association and in a
speech of Donald Richberg, di-
rector of the National Emergency
Council, before the New York
Bond Club yesterday, seem to
have had the effect of assuaging
the fears Of that timid individual
known as the Big Business Man.
They also seem to have coaxed
the Rugged 1ndividualist, night
mare Of Secretary Ickes, out OF
the cyclone cellar.
In fact, Mr.. Richberg described
himself as an "old-fashioned COM
petitive individualist," opposed to
so many Of the so-called radical
tendencies that have been used
to drum up votes for the opposi-
ton, that many washington OBJ
servers wonder what is left for
Jouett ShouSe and his conserva-
tive anti-New Deal Liberty League
to do.
More liberalism" Seen
But the practical men in the
Administration still believe the
next Congress is going to be some
what more advanced than the
present position of the New Deal.
It is expected the Congress to be
elected one week from next Tues
day will have in it a sufficient
number of wild men" to make 1t
necessary for President Roosevelt
to hold the reins with a firm
hand to keep Congress from run
ming off with the Treasury.
The Democratic politicians have
been boasting about the huge
sums spent in their districts by
the New Deal; new Congressmen
who have not tasted this largeSse
will, it is believed, want some for
themselves.
Already Senator Costigan, OF
Colorado, not running for elec-
tion because his term has not ex-
pired, has expressed himself in
favor Of a large enough public
works program to put every un-
employed man to work.
There will be a huge, insiStent
bloc demanding immediate cash
payment of the veterans bonus:
there will be demands for larger
Federal relief fund. There will be
patronage demands from the new
members.
Immediate reaction to the
American Legion demand for cash
bonus payment is seen in requests
to the Democratic Congressional
Committee to send strong bonus
advocates into various congress
Sional districts to help Demo
cratic candidates for the House.
Many calls have been made to
get the speaking aid of Repre-
sentative Patman of Texas, lead
ing bonus advocate.
Labor Battles Expected
The 3O-hour week probably will
have the limelight in both ends
of Congress; there will be, it is
believed by men who watch the
NRA, necessary legislation for
continuance Of the codes and the
uch-discussed Section IA which
grants labor the right to deal COL
lectively with employerS-a sec.
ton which already has caused
many a headache in spite OF its
simple expression of a law that
is already on the books.
