NEW EMERGENCY FUND GIVES
ELMS A CHANCE

The campaign against the Dutch
elm disease which the government
has been waging for the last. two
years has been intensified recently.
both within the 50-mile radius of
New York harbor, where the infec-
ton is concentrated, and in the out
lying areas where a few diseased
trees have been found and re-
moved, or where there is any
other reason to suspect pres
ence of the infection. The apparent
decrease in the number of diseased
trees shown by this years scouting
inspires greater confidence in the
only practical control measure now
prompt discovery and re-
moval Of every source of Infection.
A fund was recently made available
by the president for this work as a
WPA project, under the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture.
This seasons intense and wide
spread activities should go far to-
ward bringing to light the possible
presence Of the Dutch elm disease at
points outside the known infected
area. With the elimination of infec-
ton from outlying areas and con-
tinued thorough work in zones of
known infection, the diseased trees
may be eliminated thus giving elms
Of America chance for life.

 ANNUAL PRIZE
Wins Shakespearean Con. test-HOnOrabIe Mention
 to Jonathan O'COnnelI

William B. Elwell, head of the English department at Crosby high school, announced this morning that John Roland of l84 Plaza ave- nue, son of MT. and Mrs. J.

 Honorable mention was given to Jonathan O'Connor of 37 Bronson street, son of Mrs. Margaret O'Con- nor of that address. O'Connor will enter Carnegie Tech in September.
 The prize this year went to the student who made the best showing in an examination on the play Twelfth Night" and who submit ted the best essay on the theme, "The moving picture offers a suit able medium for the presentation of Shakespearian plays"
 It is interesting to note that the winner, who did not see the Warner Bros. production of "A Midsummer Nights Dream" stated that he thought moving pictures were suit- able, and the student who received honorable mention was of the opin. ion that they were not. These opinions, however, had no bearing on the awarding of the prize.
