A vast job of conservation work is
forecast as the only possible remedy
for the blighting dust storms which
have swept Middle Western sections
of the country this year
LAS much as a billion dollars" the
New York Times estimates, may go
from the new public works appropria-
ton into land rescue work-reforeSta-
ton, erosion, flood regulation, tree
barriers against dust storms. Huge
areas of the United States are being
blown away or drying up or slipping
off into the Gulf of Mexico. The sill
yer lining consists in the very fact
that we have now got to get busy
to keep the United States from blow
ing away or swimming away. In other
words, we have an unanticipated huge
job on which to turn the energies
of the American people. We cannot
be crushed by an ever-mounting bur-
den of unemployment, as the social
prophets have been predicting, be-
cause we shall have plenty of en-
ployment for many years to come in
conservation work. When large sec
tions of Kansas start moving into
Missouri on the wings of the wind it
is obvious that we have big job
ahead of us to make this country
stay put, in literal sense"
With recurrence of these intense
storms" says the New Orleans Times
Picayune, "the fear of permanent
damage naturally grows. Govern
ment experiment stations-notably
the station near Dalhart, in the Texas
Panhandle-have been trying out
methods for checking or preventing
wind erosion, and only few days ago
it was announced that the expert
ments had proven successful under
actual test by dust storms OF mod
crate intensity which swept over the
experimental area during February.
This timely experimental work en-
courages the hope that the menace
of wind erosion can be averted within
reasonable time over a great part
of the affected region. Gov. Landon'S
appeal for an immediate start on the
protective work in Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas, Nebraska and the Dakotas
gives outsiders an idea of the i'm
mensity of the task. But the methods
as described are simple, and with the
cooperation of the farm folk who
are to benefit by it there appears no
reason to doubt their ultimate sue
cess"
These visitations," in the judg-
ment of the Cincinnati TimeS-Star,
"are more significant than the Black
Friday which filled Puritan New
England with superstitious terror
back in 1850, or than the dark days
which volcanoes and forest-and-
prairie fires have writ upon the rec
ords of men. Robbing wide areas of
their priceless heritage of top soil,
they put a question mark after the
policy of turning pasture into arabic
lands over considerable parts of the
West, and seem to declare that the
program of dry farming, inaugurated
by the enlarged homestead act of
1909, was based on assumptions which
nature declines to fulfill. The folly
of half-baked attempts to accomplish
things beyond the wit of men has had
a demonstration that should not soon
be forgotten"

A Rhyme at Twilight
BY
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
In a Lounge

Gay assembly, polished and rare,
Always on the go.
Plenty Of human drama there,
Under the amber glow.
Smoke and wine and perfume blended,
Song and dance in rhythmic tune,
Long, dim vistas somewhere ended
By sham, prismatic moon.
Scintillant, wise, mirth in their eyes;
Dancing to doomsday, merry and
mad;
Groomed for the pace. on with the race.
And, under the laughter. Lord, how
sad!

The war on narcotics is a matter
OF first Importance and one in which
the medical profession can help and
is doubtless doing so. The careless
handling of drugs is admittedly re-
sponsible for many cases of addiction
as deplorable as those which arise
from mercenary motives.

From words which seemed but to fore

A state of endless error.

Pirate Loot Finds Stir
Bermuda Wealth Hunters

It IL known definitely that at one
time pirates used to sally forth from
Bermuda to prey upon the richly laden
Spanish ships which sailed from Mex
leo and Peru laden with the loot Of
the Incas and Aztecs. The course OF
these treasure ships lay not far from
the Bermuda islands, and occasionally
one Of them would fall into the clutches
Of the Bermudian buccaneers.
These ships carried gold and silver,
marvelously wrought pieces of crafts
manship, furniture which was antique
even in these days and rare jewels.
It is the opinion of well-informed per-
sons In Bermuda that whatever trea-
sure may have been buried in years
past has already been recovered. In
fact, Bermudian homes are fairly
stocked with articles recovered from
wrecked ships and from the caches
Of pirates and privateers. One is apt
to find Spanish dcubloons almost any
where along the south shore, and the
discovery Of a really substantial chest
or collection of buried treasure is not
beyond the realm Of probability.

Sire of Chesapeake Bay
Dog Victim Of Shipw

There's one fanciful tale Of the origin
Of the duck retriever-the Chesapeake
bay. One legend unravels tale OF q
pirate ship being wrecked along the
eastern shore of Maryland and with
the tempest, those on shore noticed
through their "spy-glasses"-nary a
nvo human being was seen aboard, 70
eounts a writer in the Philadelphia In
Qulrer.
A day passed before fishermen ven
tnred out to the wrecked hulk that was
once 4 huge rowing craft for sea rob-
bers. Several dead bodies were found
= the cabins, but nothing was no
ticed otherwise except bountiful sup
plies of provisions and stolen silks and
riches from other lands in the hold.
About the time the adventuresome
seamen were preparing to return to
shore, one of the men came running
to the rail, excitedly explaining he had
found strange looking dog in one OF
the cabins. A large dog with rich
coat of brown wavy hair was brought
forward and taken to shore. The dog
was amiable and appeared not to re-
sent it's removal to the smaller boat.
In due time an experimental breed
ing of the lone survivor Of the ship
wreck and q hunting hound took place
Upon the arrival of the puppies the
newcomers had many characteristic
q the new dog, good-sized' head, 4
comparatively long body, a marcel
wavy coat and a tail which later
swung behind IN curving fashion.
That is one of the many tales Of the
origin Of Chesapeake bays. 1t is prob
ably because these dogs were raised
and lived near water they have de-
veloped to be adept duck retrievers.
