WASHINGTON, April Z. OPP
Planting of hundreds of millions
of trees is urged by Department OF
Agriculturists as a check on dust
storms that roll each spring across
the vast. unbroken expanse Of the
midWeStern dust bowl.
Dust storms already have strip
ped 50.000000 acres of top soil in
the rich breadbasket of the nation
and have damaged l0000O,OOO other
acres. Recent drouths have made
the top soil loose and have added
to the destructiyenesS of dust
storms.
Foreseeing the danger of a great
American desert in the Middle West
if the dust storms We're not check
ed, the federal government began
the planting three years ago of a
shelter belt" of trees from Texas
to the Canadian border.
This scheme was ridiculed by
some and made difficult by two m-
precedently severe drouths. But the
government stuck doggedly to its
task, planting millions of trees. To-
day there are 1.277 miles Of shelter
strips.
High Number Survive
Government workers planted an
average of TAO trees per acre. An
average of $50 trees survived and
now range from 20 to 80 feet in
height Government silviculturists
declare the shelterbelt is a proven
success.
Experience gained thus far in

The history that is now being

in an address to the Association of

that a secret service man used

Inroductions were unnecessary

this the gay blade who had n

Capt. William H Houghton of
the secret service told a story that
indicated "Dapper Dan" has slip

story.
Richard Lehman, a secret serV-

"Dapper Dan" and his associates by
telling them he could impersonate

IA Rabid Dogs
Found in City
Since Feb. |

Fourteen rabid dogs were found
in Ell Centro, Imperial and sur
rounding areas since February /,
to prove the necessity of the quar-
rantine effected in Ell Centro, said
DR.. Warren F.. Fox, county and
city health officer.
The quarantine, which forces
dogs to be confined upon the prem
ises of owners or kept on leash at
all times, will be in force until
May II.
Necessity for the long quarran-
tine is explained by the long incu-
baton period in rabies infection
before the disease is apparent, Fox
said. If dogs had been permitted to
run at will the disease would have
been widely spread, Fox declared.

THIS AND THAT

What's the matter with American
popular music. Charles Wakefield Cad

in the September issue of Kiwanis

Declaring that al times he is alarmed
over the American publics lack OF
artistic standards, Mr. Cadman SAYS:
Let's call it just plain low taste"
He speaks with feeling of the TOO

dramas or cheap musical programs" and
adds.
1T is unfortunate for American cul-
uure that so much cheaplv conceived

performed and badly sung and PLAYED
