yTASHINGTON-It might seem
w funny if Congress and the ad-
ministration had had to turn the
business of saving the farmers
over to Interior Secretary Harold
ickes, but the idea isn't as absurd
rs some people might suppose it
% be.
The attempt to graft the AAA
onto the soil conservation act is of
especial interest to Ickes and his
pals, because Ickes conceived the
conservation plan, sold it by MAX
ng the public "soil erosion con-
,cious," built the Soil Erosion
Service, wrote the act, robbied It
through congressional committees
and then the whole show was
snatched away from him Just be-

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY, RODNEY BUTCHER

Stephenson was named chief of on
eratiOns in January, 1884, and by
June the SEES was spending $780,,
900 a month and was busy with
1000 employees on 40 projects oil
erosion control.
Ickes boosted the allotment tt
| S20,000,000. The force was dou
bled by fall.
Ickes and his subordinate!
preached erosion control, reams Of
propaganda were sent out, the coun
try began to get the idea, and soor
nearly every farm county was hol
lering for a demonstration prof
ect.
Timing his plan with the FIRST bis
dust storm, Ickes decided the serv
ice should be permanent and haG
legislation drafted. His mer
preached the idea to Congress anG
his bill was reported favorably
THEN some persons in the Agri
= culture department got to work.
ins under cover One day while
Ickes was in Florida, Roosevelt au
thorized Tugwell to introduce 8
resolution to transfer funds ant
personnel to Agriculture, at
meeting of the special public works
board.
The board, Of which Ickes was
chairman, voted the transfer unani
mously and Roosevelt signed an or
der to that effect. Ickes read about
it in the newspapers.
The bill. setting up the Soil Con
servation Service, was amended b,
substituting Agriculture" for an
terror" at the last minute.
The Ickes group thinks the serv
ice hasn't amounted to anythin,
since. But the fact that the ac
is being administered under Secre
tary Wallace saved the administra
ton from having to appeal t.
Ickes for an act under which tt
operate farm program.

MAKE 1T PERILOUS

You can hardly tune in on the
police radio in any large city for
more than a minute without hear
ing report to police cars Of the
theft Of an automobile. No one
who has not studied the figures
has any idea of the enormous
number of automobiles stolen
every day, yes, every hour, in
the United.
Vt one period in bygone days
horSe-stealing was common
though never in the proportion
rearhed by misunderstanding.
But horse stealing eventually be-
came rare because horse owners
organized and took positive steps
to discourage horSe-stea | n @.
Thrv pursued horse thieves re-
lentlcssly until they caught them;
then they punished them. In some
sections horse thieves were strung
ur by their captors without delay.
Up other sections they were SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for as
long as twenty years. That re-
sOlute trailing and drastic punish
ing Of horse thieves virtually put
an end to horse stealing. The
booty was not worth the risk. You
could leave your horse anywhere
and find him where you left him
unless he had Straycd away or
run away.
The same rigorous treatment of
automobile thieves as was accord
ed horse thieves would put an
end to automobile stealing as it
did to horse stealing.
The trouble with us is that we
have got soft and silly about our
criminals. We, sternly slap their
wrists when we catch them; but
the odds are great that we will
nos catch Thorn

care. The horse is dangerous no
matter how handled. The auto
mobile under reasonable circlm-
stances is perfectly safe. The
horse under no circumstances is
perfectly safe.
If the trucks and the autOmo-
bile on our highways today We're
replaced with horse-drawn vehi-
cles, our highway accident rates
would, venture to say, be higher
than now. Statistics would prob
ably show that mile for mile, the
deaths and injuries occasioned by
horses, exceed the casualties
caused by motor-vehicles. If motor
vehicles were driven no faster
than horses travel, accidents on
highways would be negligible.
My own experience with horses
covers about the same length of
time as my experience with auto
mobiles. I have never had an &C
cident with an automobile, but |
have had a number of serious &C
cidents with horses and will carry

Daylight the following morning
found Tex far out on the Kanab
Desert, pounding along at a steady
lope. He had three horses and was
changing from one to the other
every two hours. In this way he
did not have to halt to rest them.
All through the scorching day he
rode steadily. At evening he halt
ed for half an hour at a brackish,
green scummed water-hole. While
the horses were drinking and rest
ing Tex wolfed down a couple of
powdered sandwiches, took a long
drink at his canteen, rolled a smoke,
then resumed his steady ride,
The pale moor rose, arched and
descended. The black heart of the

TEXAS GUNS
FOURTH INSTALMENT
BY L. p. Holmes

A week after they had gone on
their quest Tex Whipple and
Johnny Clehoe rode slowly up out
of the gulf of the Kanab Desert,
to where the San Juan Plateau
doomed dim and purple in the
violet dusk. They were gaunt,
hollow-eyed and weary. Their
faces their clothes; their horses
were gray with dust and the CRIME
of the desert. Their eyes were
bloodshot; their lips cracked and
raw from the bite of alkali dust.
In front of them, slow and pond
erous, moved the cattle they had
regained from the rustlers. 1t had
been a terrific task to nurse ex-
haused and faltering brutes across
the torrid wastes but the job was
nearly done now and the cattle
were travelling faster, having smell
led the water in the troughs On the
slope above.
Arriving at the corrals Tex and
Johnny turned their charges over
to Pinky Crosby and Pod Fortune,
all that remained of the Box D
punchers, then unsaddled their
horses, turned them into the pas
ture and walked with stiff, awk-
ward strides up to the ranchhouse.
San Juan Delevan and his daugh-
ter Ronny were on the veranda.

have been particularly effective in
the fight against ~illiteracy, having
reduced the percentage of i~lliterates
by 80 per cent in the last twenty
five years. Hundreds of school
teachers have been sent to the rural
schools which have multiplied con-
~siderably. The open-air schools of
painting are considered one of the
most significant developments in
their modern education work. Be-
sides their interest in schools the
women living in large cities have
organized civic and social better
ment clubs. At the next election
in Mexico women will have their
first opportunity to cast their
votes. They have made great
strides even though the world out
side hears little of individuals who
are responsible for this progress.
Women who are good in marks
manship r always a little surpris-
ing, probably because they have SO
little practice. But when you hear
of a college dean who can hit the
bullseye every time, or nearly so,
she is hailed as a CHAMPION, even
though the demonstration IS on the
college campus and before an infor-
NAL gathering of students, as was
the case recently when Dean Vir-
ginia C. Gildersleeve of Barnard
College, New York, cracked a
whole series of targets amid the
cheers of the undergraduates. She
is a daughter of Colonel H. A.
