fine, effective, doing good work,
but still they are inadequate.
1 have asked that the Public
Health Service, the National Park
Service, the National Resources
Committee, and the Geological
Survey to cooperate in the survey.
The Public Health Service
would naturally be interested in
a venture of this magnitude, the
purpose of which would be the
furtherance of the public health.
The Park Service has done marvel.
Gus work in the development Of
natural resources into popular rec
reational areas without damage to
the natural beauties and charm
associated with the park areas.
The Geological Survey has in its
files practically all that is now
known of the mineral springs re-
sources and is organized for
prompt field work.
The National Resources Commit
tee is included, for it is my be-
lief that mineral springs are as
great resource for recreation and
health development, both impor-
tant factors in the national wei
fare, as are the rivers, lakes, res
ervoirs and other resources in the
national economic scheme.

Asked to Give
Eye to Pastor
BY the Associated Press.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Calf,
March 24.-The Rev. U. E. Harding,
nearly blind clergyman from Portland,
Greg, sat in the ONCE Of the warden
here yesterday and pleaded for the
gift Of an eye from q condemned
prisoner.
Warden Court Smith granted the
pastor permission to present his case
personally to IL condemned men who
might agree to permit transplanting
of a cornea, after death, to the eye
of the minister.
Should one Of the men agree to
give up his eye, 1t would be necessary
also for relatives Of the condemned
man to give their permission and
other legal arrangements would have
to be made.
On the day Of the execution a
prominent eye surgeon, whose serv-
ices already have been promised,
would remove the cornea from the
eye Of the condemned man and graft
IT to the eye of the pastor.
Il will aid in every way possible so
long as all legal requirements are OBJ
served" said Warden Smith.

teh new manager. He looks like a guy that would pay salaries, but you never know. And say MT. Talt, you might tell us right now how many you're going to fire"
 I'm not going to fire anybody" TaIt said. I'm going to scream for help from you fellows"
 "Oh.oh said Torchy. May be I mentioned salaries too soon,".
 Bob Tait laughed. No you didn't. think we can still pay them - providing we work together. The Swingateers is still hot band. You fellows all thought a lot of Dombey. Well, before he = he was killed he made Myrna Dombey partner in the corporation. That means she's taking Lud's place. If the thing goes down, she goes with it-and so do we all. Some of you fellows in teh band were helping Lud Dom bey make bootleg records. I'm not asking woh you were, because l don't care. Lud was on the spot and I suppose you were trying to help him. Anyhow, I've been in touch with Montgomery of the recording company, and there won't be trouble, at least for a while. And I think can cinch up the contract at the Paciflc-Plaza in spite of all the mess. But here's the rub. There's people who'd like to see the murder hung on Myrna Dom- bey. If there's any guy here who thinks 1t should be, I'd like to hear from him."
 No sound came from the group crowded together there in Torchys apartment.
 That's swell. Because if Myrns Dombey gets messed up in the killing of Lud. our chances ot keeping The Swingateers intact isn't so good"
 "The Swingateers have got to keep going" one of the boys said in low tone. "Lud is just as big an idol today with the whackies as he ever was. Torchy knows his style. And we'll all do what we can, We'll swing as wide as we ever did, won't we. boys?"
 Wide as gates," another said, well send 1t out for the hickies."
 Tait grinned. He felt better about things than he had for sev- eral hours.

 "That lines been busy for five minutes" F'eeley said. would you mind not using the headquarters telephone for your private busi- ness?"
 "I've got a good description of George Weeks, and a picture. And I've got another lead. Just wanted to tell you I'm going to follow .it along without picking you up at the station. Don't be carrying of any of those Dombey papers,"
 "Dannie, you don't trust me" laughed Tait. "Everything will be just as you left 1t. Right now I'm going to talk to Torchy' Stephens he's lading the band from now on, and he might know a thing or two"
 "Go ahead" said Feeley, "but if you can get anything out os 8 bunch of swing band guys, you're good"
 "well, I can try"
 When Feeley had hung up, Tait called Stephens hotel. The musi- clan answered sleepily, and Tait said:' Listen, Torchy .-- how soon could you get the band together2"
 "1t's only four o'clock" Ste- phens answered in hurt tone. Tt ought to be easy to get 'em to- gether - because they're probably all in bed, where they ought to be-"
 Can you have them in your apartment at five2"
 A badly stified yawn came over the wire. "We-ell, my apartments pretty small. Bob. But I'll try, What's the idea, anyhow"

 Mrs. Dombey fired him. I don't mind saying it was at my request" Tentatively Tait added: Any obJections?"
 "None at all, MT. Manager Harris Rogers never was a guy I'd pick up to go on fishing trip. Come on around at five and the cats will be here"
