SOIL EROSION
EXPERT HAS
!. BROTHER HERE

That DR.. w. C. Lowdermilk,
brother of Herbert Lowdermilk, is
the leading soil erosion expert in
the United States, will be of inter-
est to residents of the valley not
cnly from the personal standpoint
but because of the problem soil ero-
sion plays here.
DR.. Lowdermilk is vice-director of
the soil erosion service of the de-
partment of the interior and was
chief speaker at the recent session
of the Central States Forestry Con-
gress held in Nashville, Tenn.
At this meeting DR.. Lowdermlk
warned his audience that power
dams in the Tennessee valley will
be made useless unless soil erosion
is checked. He supported his state
ment with illustrations pointing
out dams that have become entirely
silted up and stating that the same
condition exists out west. Here ha
declared the damage to be even
greater because the water IN reser-
voirs is needed for irrigation in the
cry season and without the water
there can be no crops. Silt is fill
ing these reservoirs, filling the
space that should be filled with
water to be released during the
dry weather.
1.-The irrigated civilization of the
west is doomed if the accelerated
rate of sitting in the reservoirs is
not soon brought under control"
In order to do something about
the situation. the nation is faced
with a gigantic task involving far
reaching measures. Large areas
of the sleeper slopes within rain
fall zones CT torrential rainfall
must be withdrawn from cultiva-
tion and rededicated to perennial
crops of forests. This will require
redistribution of population in some
instances. In other regions use Of
grass lands must be rigidly con-
trolled and supplemented by arti-
ficial means of erosion prevention"
DR.. Lowdermilk was the first man
re make the discovery that China's
far1ines were due to soil erosion
and NOT to a change in climate. He

NEW FEATURE
IN MUSIC At
WORLDS FAIR

Each Worl6 S fair is usually re-
membered by one outstanding at
traction, and this years big fea-
ture, instead of a fan dancer. will
doubtless be the unusual scientific
demonstration: Music by Tele-
graph. according to Ed Rau. local
Western Union manager. Unique
as a World fair feature .'Music by
Telegraph is the first attraction
which it is not necessary to wit
ness at the fair alone, but which
during the course of A Century of
Progress will be demonstrated in
approximately $50 cities in the
United States.
Music by Telegraph marks
the first attempt in history of tel
egraph music. and makes it possible
for man seated before a telegraph
typewriter in any Western Union
office in the country to "play'
the famous Deagan Carlton. the
official World IS fair chimes in the
tower of the Hall of Science in
Chicago.
This remarkable feat was made
possible by Western Union engi-
neers who wished to demonstrate
that it is not only possible to wire
written communications and mon
ey, but also to telegraph actual
playings of music. They developed
a selecting device. known as the
d" Telemusicon, which is attached
to the Carlton at Chicago. an or
dinary telegraph typewriter upon
which Western Union transmits
kilograms. Thus when one presses
a key of the telegraph typewriter
one OF the chimes is made to sound.
To facilitate the playing midget
two octave piano keyboard has been
devised to fasten directly to the
keys of the typewriter.
Beginning with Saturday night,
June %, at u midnight, c. S. T.
Columbia will begin its nightly
of the program as a
"sign-off' feature. Already many
famous musicians have played the
Telemusicon, but before the end of
A Century of Progress more than
a hundred others will be heard over
the Columbia network.

CINCINNATI, O., June %. U.P)-
Vital developments in the drive of
the Catholic church for reform of
the moving picture industry were
concluded today at the home of
the most Rev. John T. McNicholas,
archbishop of Cincinnati.
The two day conference was
called to further plans in the
crusade which already has had
telling effect on the movie industry.
Members of the committee, of
which Archbishop McNicholas is
chairman, are: Bishop F. Noll, Ft.
Wayne, Ind; Bishop John j. Can't
well, Los Angeles, and Bishop Hugh
Boyle, Pittsburgh.
;, Movie industry officials attend
ing are J. I. Breen, Hollywood and
Martin Quigley, New York. The
episcopal committee stressed that
the movie men were not here to
take official part in the conference,
but merely were being permitted
| to attend and receive the decisions
of the committee"
LII dIl lIlIcI view, ATCIlDlSIlOp
! McNicholas emphasized that "the
drive of the Catholic church to
protect it's members from the bane-
full influences of salacious and filthy
moving pictures has just begun"
1--WE are not anxious to ruin any
business" he said. But we are
determined that members of the
church and particularly the youth
shall not be exposed to pernicious
influences. 1t is within the power
of the movie magnates to regulate
! their productions, and we intend
to see that they do so.
There is no justification for pro-
duction of filthy movies. The sex
mania seems to have possessed
Hollywood and it must be checked,
once and for ali.
"The church is not anxious to
| indulge in law-making mania
which also seems to be the fad
nowadays, but we still take the
correct means to achieve our end.

Perkins withheld their contents for

government mediation efforts and
also warned that if the dispute
continued, the labor department
would take a firm hand.

grams from coast commercial in
