Washington, Feb 22.-(UP)-- Here is Q George Washington story in honor of his birthday: A mili- tary attache of the United States mbassy at Berlin attended a re- sception one evening. The nt- tache, new to his post, met many people, including distinguished old man with whom he fell into a discussion of military tactics.
 The American, in the course of argument, referred in sighting fashion to Washington's military ability. His tactics, the young off, ficer suggested, were not all they might have been.
 To his surprise the German rosc to Washington's defense. The first president was distinguished gen. eral, said the German, and pro- ceedcd to cite so many examples of Washington's cleverness that the the American finally was compelled to reluctant agreement.
 At length the old gentleman drew out his watch.
 "I'm afraid it's my bed time" he said. Thank you for the fn- teresting discussion"
 "Thank iyou," responded the American. II didn't catch your name. With whom have I had the pleasure of talking"

 Failure of the stock market to follow through the rise was a dis couraging factor that induced sub sequent selling. That failure was attributable to three outstanding items: 1. Weakness in utilities en further government efforts to elim- mate holding companies; 2. An- other decline in railroad shares that was based on poor earnings outlook; and, 5. President Roose- velt's message asking extension of the NRk
 After the supreme court decision was out of the way, the congress launched into an orgy of bills and suggestions, many of which were detrimental to market boise. These included suggestion to pay a sol- dier bonus with baby bonds; nu- merous tax proposals, and progress on the Rayburn bill to destroy util- ity holding companies. The com panies themselves began a fight against the bill. their executives holding 1t would be highly detri- mental not only to the utilities themselves but to business. in gem eral.

Legionnaires To Aid.
 Policemen In Crime
Campaign of Education Started to Assist in Siencing
 Wave Now Gripping the Nation

their offensive weapons. but the greatest aid that can be .endered Is education of the general public to the tremendous cost fin lives and property that results from a sym pathetic attitude toward criminals and an apathctic attitude toward enforcement inefiiciency.
 To this end. Charles R. Mabey, chairman of the legion's national committee on law and order, has issued a call with the full approvei of the national commander. for every American Legion post to hold a law and order rally before March 1 as a start in this cam paign of public security. These rallies are proposed in order that the posts may discuss local crime conditions and decide upon the most effective methods fo. combat ing lawlessness in their individual communities.
 They will mark the beginning of A continued and determined drive by the legion against crime in all of its forms.
 Nc Police in Politics
 The National Law and Order committee was created by a man. date of the Chicago national con- vention in 1893. The legion was aroused by the spectacular depre- dations of organized bandit gangs wfich necessitated mobilization of tre Legion Vigilance committees to assist the regularly constituted au- thCrities. These developments brought conviction to the legion that the time to throw it's full strength into the active support cf hard-pressed law enforcement agencies everywhere.
 Out of the initial deliberations of the National Law and Order committee came a set of recom- for the best ways and means of suppressing crime and inculcating respect for law among tho masses. These recommendn- tions included:
 Strict regulations of firearms.
 Extension of federal jurisdic-
 ton over transitory crim-
 inals. A national vagrancy law.
 Removing of police depart
 ments from politics.
 Training schools for law en-
 forcement officers.
 Educating the public to re-
 spect the law.
 Closest cooperation between
 the American Legion and
 law enforcement agencies even
 to the point of actual physical
 support.

DUST STORMS IN WEST PLOTTED
 OUT SUNLIGHT
Assembled Snow Blizzard
 as It Drove People From Streets

Kansas City, Mo, Feb 22-(CP, Dust storms that plotted out the sun, drove people from the streets blinded motorists and halted air plane travel, swept over sections of western Kansas and Nebraska, Col orado and Wyoming today.
 The great clouds of gray and black dust, swept up from dried out soil by winds that reached vel ocities of from 50 to 50 miles an hour, apparently were worst in western Kansas. Great damage was believed to have been done to wheat, although estimates varied.
 Fine as snow, the dust sifted into homes, crunched underfoot and settled on furniture. There was nc escape from 1t. It adds an unplcas- ant taste at the dinner table. The sky suddenly became over- cast yesterday. Within q short time the sun was blackened out. At mid afternoon lights were needed In shops and homes. Motorists moved slowly and cautiously. By nigh:fall highway traffic moved at 10 miles an hour. Headlight could not pierce the fog-like clouds more than q few feet. Paved streets and high ways, laden with the silt, looked like dirt roads. Chickens went to roost pre- maturely, fooled by the false dusk. Farmers sheltered livestock. The drst, whipped by the wind, cut like sieet. In Kansas telephone lines were reported down in Scott, Wichita and Greeley counties.
 Air travel through the affected area was stopped. Pilots who test ed the fringes of the storm area reported there was no ceiling and visibility was zero.
 w. J. Matthias, county farm agent at Hays, Kan, feared the crop loss would be heavy. Wheat roots would be denuded. he said, and thousands of tons of rich top soil blown away.
