But this particular skeletal group is
highly treasured by Smithsonian pal
eontologists because it will reveal ex-
actly how these ancient animals laid
down and died. Moreover. for this
particular prehistoric era the group is
unusually complete. Oftentimes CEN
turies-old bones are found in such
widely scattered state that 1t is a
painstaking and well-nigh impossible
lob for the preparator to assemble
them properly. In this case the task
was relatively simple, for all the bones
were found very close together on
sloping hillside composed of rather
smooth surface of sandy clay.
The peccaries were discovered about
a year ago in Idaho by Smithsonian
exploration party in charge of c. L.
Gain, assistant curator, division of
vertebrate paleontology. In essential
respects these wild pigs resemble those

mounting a skeleton of a walrus.
The walruS in question is very well
upholstered. You notice that he is
wired together and perched upon two
iron stands. The reason he's being
remounted is that an exhibit is now
under way to show the various types
of locomotion on land of fur seals, hair
seals and walruses. This has been
comparatively simple in the case of
the first two animals. However. for
years learned Smithsonian scientists
tried to get the exact information
needed as to the peculiar maneuvers
on land of the Pacific walrus. But in
vain. Apparently no scientist on hand
here actually had seen one of these
powerful sea swimmers treading on
mother earth. Purely by accident
came the solution of the perplexing
problem. One day in movie theater
DR.. Garret Miller of the National
Museum staff saw a series of interest,"
ing news reel pictures showing baby
walrus walking about in the Los An
geles Zoo. So he sent word to the
ZOO authorities asking for stills. En-
largements were made from the film
and some 200 feet of this were for
warded to Washington. And all was
well.
AS hinted earlier, Osteologist Mir
guet is considerably more than wal
rus authority. Often his daily duties
take him from the ponderous to the
precise. Which is one way of saying
that he will avoid the walrus entirely
for hours at time and concentrate
on mounting the tiniest birds irnagin-

Erosion Hits MARYLAND.

MARYLAND, a State not usual.
-'A associated with erosion, never
theless has been seriously affected,
according to a survey made by the
Department of Agriculture. Approx
mately 80 per cent Of the area OF the
State. exclusive Of cities, has been
damaged by sheet erosion and nearly
% per cent by Outlying.
Approximately 100000 acres have
been affected.
Regional conditions in Maryland.
as disclosed by the survey, were sum-
married. as follows by Glenn L. Fuller,
soil erosion specialist, who conducted
the survey:
Through the western part OF the
State, moderate erosion has removed
one-fourth to three-fourths of the
topsoil along the valleys and on the
more gently rolling lands utilized for
crops Some mountainous slopes,
which had been cleared and utilized
for pasture or remained in woods but
were subjected to logging or severe
burning, also show moderate sheet ero-
sion.
Carroll Baltimore. Hartford and
Frederick Counties have considerable
areas influenced by moderate sheet
erosion. A very large percentage of
the land is utilized for crops, with no
attention to erosion control. The
coastal plain south of Washington
shows large areas of land which in
general have lost one-fourth to three
fourths of the topsoil. This occurs on
rolling topography where sandy clay
subsoils retard the downward percola-
ton of water. In Kent County. on the
Eastern Shore, moderate erosion pre-
walls.
Severe Outlying occurs with both
moderate and severe sheet erosion on
more than 100000 acres south of
Washington. Here the topography is
rolling and the soils contain relatively
impervious subsoil layers which allow
very slow percolation and attendant
rapid run-off of rainwater."

Child Labor Banned.

CHILD labor prohibition in so ia
~ as the sugar beet fields are con-
cerned continues despite the Supreme
Courts ruling on the N, I. r. A, foi
a provision in the sugar beet benefit
contracts provides specifically that no
child under the age of IA may be en-
ployed in the beet fields and those
between the ages of IA and l6 are
limited to eight hours a day.
Compliance with this provision is
essential if the grower is to obtain
benefit payments
The only children not subject to
that rule are the children of the
maker of the contract and the chill

Watching you kiss the girl you think is l.
A creature fashioned out Of sickIy dreams
And balLid chimeras; ,Craith vho seems
To kiss you back and laugh and flush and sigh
The syllables you taught her to reply;
Seeing you fremble at the meaningless CLEANS
That light her empty eyes, my jealous screams
Rise to a TEMPEST in my throat and die.
And thus it shall be al,cays. I SUPPOSE,
SO you may love your phantom ,cifhom fear.
Who spares the seed cannot destroy the rose
And shall not intrude you, my dear.
But sit beside you tVhile you stroke her hair
And neuer let you guess that am there.

Christess Nuptials Result Almost Inevitably in Unhap=
 piness, Destruction of Sanctity

sacraments of Confirmation, Holy Eucharist and Holy Orders must be received in the state of sanctifylng grace. How you prepared for the other sacra- ments, for your confirmation. for your first Holy Communion! Did you go on adding sin to sin to pre- pare for these sacraments? You have to invite Christ to your court ship and your marriage.
 Christ Not Invited
 "The reason for so many un- happy marriages is that Christ IS not invited. If He had been in- vited to the thousands of marriages that find their way to the auction mart of the divorce courts where so many wives are legally knocked down with the hammer of divorce those wives would not have been untrue, those husbands would not have been unfaithful. How many families are unblessed just because Christ was never invited to become a member of the family?
 There is only one power which will guard the house against the apostles of licentiousness and in fidelity, which will strengthen it against the countless social infiu- ences, which today are disintegrat- ing the home, robbing it of its sanctity, breaking down its sacred barriers and sullying its purity. That one influence is the presence of Jesus Christ in the home."

Tonight is the last, for the showing of Nancy Carroll in "I'lI Love You Always" and "A Night at the Ritz with Allan Jenkins at the ever popular Warner Brothers State theater. "A Night at the Ritz" with Allan Jenkins and his funny antics is one of the breez- fest of medies. Beautiful Miss Carroll is wonderful in her lead, 'I'll Love You Always" and for an evening of real entertainment these two films are highly recommended by the management of the State.
 One of the seasons outstanding shows opens at the State tomor- row. The picture is "Traveling Saleslady" with Joan Blondcll and Glenda Farrell along with Hugh Herbert, and this trio has never been better in any film to date. On the stage the State offers another smashing five-act vaudeville show that is q knockout.
 "Traveling Saleslady". is the freshest and Hveliest comedy of the year. Women will be especially delighted for 1t proves conclusively how a young girl with initiative ard personality gets the better of her male rivals in the world Of business. The story is rot with out it's romances and share of love tangles in addition to it's comedy, for Miss Farrell as the jealous rival of Miss Blondell for the affections of William Gargan the handsome star salesman is a riot. Hugh Herbert as the inebriated tooth- paste inventor has never been SC funny. You'll laugh and laugh al this rollicking new comedy skit.
 For stage show the State presents again five Broadway vaudeville acts headed by the Three x Sisters, the radios finest harmony and novelty trio direct from Station WIZ. The Three x Sisters have been heard over the air by millions of people and have thrilled audiences with their charming voices and personalities.

which settles as the storm blows onward is detriment to land on which it falls. The valuable fine material of the soil is almost al- ways blown out to sea.
 These plains farmers are hardy, independent people. They have seen drouth and hardship come and go. But at last they are beginning to fear for the future. One horny handed west Kansas old-timer shook his head as he said I've farmed this territory for more than 50 years, and I swear there was never anything struck this country as terrible as this a t dust storm"
 He had been over his fields after the worst of the dust cloud had passed. There he saw his winter wheat with roots exposed, certain to die with the return of the sun, and the best of his topsoil gone forever.

 There are thousands like him to- day. Many were even worse off, and saw the tender green shoots of the winter wheat blown rgiht out of the ground. roots and all.
 Tn great pdTLS OL OkldHOHlh, Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado, men and women are "digging out" today almost as the people of Naples dug out after the eruption of Vesuvius which buried P m . peii.
 They are burying the dead whose lungs, already weakened by pull monary trouble, gave way under the' added strain of fine dust par ticles. They are burying the vic- tins of auto accidents caused by the fog-like haze of dust. They are washing off or shoveling out the dust mantle.
 And as they dug their way out, new storms swept across Okla homa and parts of Kansas. Wyo- ming, spared the brunt before, saw huge dust clouds roll across the state.

 But all this, terrible as it is, seems nothing to the plight of the areas where the real damage was done. It is not the territory where

 renee, their toll, what can be

 By NEA Service
 Kansas City, March 2S-Blacker and more terrifying than the cloud of dust which Is dragually subsiding, there hangs today over the whole plains region of America the specter of still more dust storms to come.
 Unless merciful rain comes soon, literally millions of acres of wheat lands will be forever destroyed. The farmers know that despiet any long-range remedies, nothing will help thi spring and summer but rain.
 The drouth which brought bil- Hon. dollar calamity on the plains states last summer has not ended. It has been, up to now, a dry win ter, and a hot, dry spring would open the way to still worse dust storms than those of last year or this.
 Rain or Ruin
 The long time future may be in the hands of Shelter-belts, sorghum and cover crops, or different meth ods of tillage. But unless rain comes this spring it will be impos- sible to get root-crops started at all, and the barren surface of the plains wheatlands will then be at the mercy of the winds at any time that they happen to arise during the summer.
 That is why thousands of plains farmers pray today for rain. They know that immediate relief from the scourge of dust is beyond the hands of man.
 If anyone had said few years ago that winds could literally blow state out of the union, it would have been good for q laugh. But it has actually happened. The soil erosition service estimates that 5.000,000 acres have been complete ly destroyed for any possible crop ping purposes by these recurring dust storms. That is an area roughly as big as Massachusetts.
 Damage Already Heavy
 And a larger area of between oU,VUU,UUU ana SV,VUU,UUU acres ndS already suffered severe damage and may go the same way. That is as big as a state nearly as large as Montana. Look at the map, and see what this means.
 An area almost as large as Con- necticut is being abandoned today in eastern Colorado and westeTn Kansas. The farmers who knew it and loved it as q region of fruitful farms are fleeing from it as the Belgians fled before the Germans in 1914.
 Dozens of ranch houses stand desolate and forsaken. The drifting dust piles up about the doorsteps The rence-corners. heaped with dust. will soon fall to decay. The region loks exactly like what it may soon be-a desert. The pro- ductive soil is gone, right down to hard-pan or gravel.
 It takes nature from 400 to 1900 years to create an inch of virgin topsoil. And government experts in a test in Texas have measured the blowing way of nearly 16 inches of good earth within few days.

NEW ART CLASSES
 ORGANIZING HERE
Previous Training Not Els. sential For Membership;
 Results Gratifying

Due to the interest being mani fested by those students who have not already availed themselves of the opportunity to enroll in the classes of commercial art and N- illustrative drawing conducted under the Emergency Educational Pro- gram, new classes for beginners will be formed according to a re- cent announcement by Thomas Kelley instructor in these subjects.
 The formation of new classes in the fundamentals results from the widespread attention directed to these classes as 8 result of the progress already made by those students who have been in attend ance since these classes were first instituted. G
 The advancement made by the members of these classes, some Of whom had had no previous knowl- edge of the fundamentals of draw ing, has been phenomenal. MT Kelley is planning to feature an exhibition of the work of these students at the conclusion of the school term. An invitation Is ex- tended to the public to visit these classes and to review the work tha: has been accomplished in the first two months since the classes have been in progress.
 The formation of new classes will be welcomed by those who have had no previous training and will prove an invaluable aid for q better appreciation of commercial art. Classes are conducted each evening except Wednesdays. be- tween and D. m. at the Cros- by High school. Those desiring to register may do so with Miss Edna Harmon at Crosby High school.
