DUST BOWL
international News Service

Old Bill Baker, well-knoWn ar
cheologist, has read the tree rings
of SIS evergreens in Cimarron
county. Okla, and predicts that
the drought soon will be over and
the southwest dust bowl area will
prosper again.
Baker, who paid visit to the
Department of Agriculture on re
quest of Oklahoma Agricultural
and Mechanical College, to offer
his help on wind erosion legisla-
ton, said that after examining the
trees, he found the average age
of the trees was 1872 years. He
said:
I'VE could tell by an examina-
ton of the rings that each tree
had experienced three or four
drought periods, but tn at
drought never lasts more than
five years at time"
The current drought is going
into its fourth year, after three
years of playing havoc with cattle
and crops.

ReScuers Claw
Way Thru Sand
To Save Youth

CHELMSFORD, Mass, Oct. 30.
(UP)-Trapped waist-deep nearly
IL hours by recurring slides in a
sand and gravel pit. Manuel CANA
cho, 10, was rescued early today by
street department workers who
clawed him free with their hands.
Hurried to st. Josephs hospital
in Lowell, he complained only of
numbness. Doctors reported that
there were no broken bones.
Twice during his long siege, slides
covered him completely, but rescue
workers were able to uncover his
head before his breath was cut off
completely.
Volunteers, police and firemen
were hampered by the slides. AS
fast as they would remove gravel
more would pour in around the
youth.
Arrival of 20 to 25 expert street
department workers from Lowell
proved the turning point.

THE OUTER RIM
BY Una Alice Rands

The Universe-how it does grow;
At least, it seems to us tits so.
Once stars were lamps hung up TO
light
The Earth, as its especial right.
The moon and sun, by night or day,
Were made so man could work or
play.
The Universe-oh, how it growsl
The more Man sees the more he
knows.
Through lens and research science
found
That stars and Earth alike were
round.
Man and Earth stood not alone,
But how the Universe had grown!
Then telescopes increased their range
And found a Universe most strange.
A world of worlds, in single light,
Were then revealed to human sight;
And thus to far infinity-
The more men know the more they
see!
And now they scan far spaces dim,
Searching for the Outer Rim
The Edge Of all the Things There Are
Beyond the farth'est, faintest, star.
Oh, does the mind Of man outgrow
The Universe he's come to know?
But when the Outer Rim they find,
At last will Men be of one mind.
With scaling ladder, auger, awl,
They'll want to pierce that Outer
Wall;
They'll want to scale its top to see
Just what the Other Side can be!

How do you do, sir? noticed
that you have been watching our stu
dents go through their PAGES. Are
you interested in flying?
Il certainly am. l have always
wanted to learn to fly, but 1 have
never gotten any further than a
couple of short hops with barnstorm-
ers. had made up my mind to be
flier about ten years ago, but when
inquired about the charges for in
struction | changed my mind. The
rates were $500 per hour"
am not surprised that you were
frightened away. Just few years
ago person had to be wealthy to
fly, but you should have kept in
touch with the prices. We are only
charging So an hour for instructions
and 81 after you solo.
only $500! Well, in that case
you may consider me a student.
How soon can l start learning?"
Right away. AS soon as this fell
low who just landed gets in with the
plane, we'll go up. BY the way, do
you know anything about the con-
trolls of an airplane
ooh, yes, have subscribed to sew
eral aviation magazines for years and
l have pretty good theoretical know
ledge of how to fly"
That will be big help to you, but
you mustn't get the idea that you
have nothing to learn. You can have
degrees in Aeronauticar Engineering
from five colleges, and while your
learning would be of help to you,
you would still have to learn to fly
by actual flights in an airplane.
Well, hop in and we'll start the first
lesson.
