'Unluckiest Day
For Japan Brings
Trouble Galore

TOKYO, April Ia. U.P)-Ja-
pans seers had picked today
as the unluckiest of the year
for the empire.
A summary at pm, showed
the following items:
Floods destroyed 200 houses
at Shingishu, Korea.
twenty persons we're killed at
NaganO i'm a fireworks expl0-
sion.
Forest fires destroyed many
mountain homes between Kobe
and ShimonOseki and reached
the outskirts Of Hagi and Yama-
da.
Fire penetrated HyOgOm near
Kobe.
A storm unrOOfed many hOus-
es at Fukui and interrupted
communications.
Fire spread through Matsu,
in Shimane prefecture, and was
still burning after destroying
600 houses. Runners brought aid
from nearby towns. Heavy casu-
alties were feared.
Eleven fishing boats with
their crews t0talling 20 men
were missing in the storm at
Fusan, Korea.
Kobe reported that forest
fires DESTROYED the small towns
all in HOgyO prefecture and that
of Kari, Anaga and Schichi-
1000 men were fighting the
flames.

three man board"
While committee action. drew the
major share of attention during
the morning, legislators hoped to
swing into a faster bill-passing
stride with the resumption of their
afternoon meetings. Long argu-
ments on a few subjects have per-
mitted files of both houses to be-
come topheayy during the past few
days. AsSemblymen, particularly,
we're cautioned by floor leaders to
get rid of more routine bills and
clear the way for final considera-
ton of the vital measures which
are awaiting passage of the $446,-
000000 budget bill.
Some progress was made by the
lower house late yesterday when
members defeated a bill to realign
the State Board OF Equalization
districts, and passed bills to limit
freight trains to 70 cars and loan
company compensation to II per
cent including interest and carry
ing charges.

and Wisconsin farmers say their
big danger is invasion from ad-
joining areas.
The threat extends into Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma and Tex
as. Agriculturists in those states
say there is almost certain" to
be worse plague this year than
in 1886. The soil is teeming with
eggs, they say.
The eggs and larvae were left
by the destroying armies which
marched through grain fields of
the eight northwest states last
summer.
Migratory plague grasshoppers
are the most destructive of their
kind, entomologists say. They pre-
fer cultivated crops and cropland
for reproduction. When they clean
one field they rise in great clouds
and float with the wind to an
other. In one instance, in 1886,
they were SO numerous they blot
ted out the sun for several hours.
Grasshoppers can be controlled
by poison bait-bran mixed with
poison and scattered across fields
in their path. Grasshoppers in
vading fields covered with the
bait die so fast their bodies fill
drainage bitches and creeks.
Chinch bugs are more difficult
to control

Pioneer Flier to
Reenact Record
Hop Made in 1912

BALTIMORE, April 14.-U.R)-
Glenn l.. Martin, pioneer flier and
designer and manufacturer of giant
Clipper airships, today planned to
re-enact the first overwater flight
made in this country 25 years ago.
Martin set a record in 1912-When
he was 26-by flying the 33 miles
from Newport Harbor. Cal. to Ava
Ion, Catalina island. Two years
earlier, Reb Bleriot, a Frenchman,
had crossed the English channel in
flight 10 miles shorter than Mar
tins.
Martin will use one of his giant
Clipper ships for the flight marking
the twenty-fifth anniversary of his
first attempt. Mis- mother, Mrs.
Minta De Long Martin, will ac-
company him as she did on many
of his earlier trips.

lions of young grasshoppers and
chinch bugs-potentially one of
the most devastating insect plaques
in the nations agricultural his
tory-lay just beneath the sur
face of farm lands in the central
Northwest today.
A United Press survey showed
that experts believe some of the
eggs and larvae have been wiped
out by wintr freezes" Others are
being destroyed by cold spring
rains.
The weather of the next four
weeks may determine whether
enough will emerge from the soil
to reenact the widespread destruc-
ton of 1886.
Iowa agricultural experts fear
one of the worst infestations in
history. Nebraska entomologists
report there are more choppers
ready to hatch now than at any
time in the last Ct years. Illinois
chinch bug invasion may be, in
spots, the most serious of the
past half century. North Dakota
farmers fear another serious
plague, but not as serious as last
years.
South Dakota agriculturists,
however, are confident the most
dangerous portion of the grass
hopper eggs has frozen out. In

trations of the pests. Minnesota
