carried when she disappeared last
week. all telegraph and radio stations
on the Pacific csan side of eight
Philippine islands were brought into
the hunt for clues today.
The Philippine post office depart
ment, which controls the island tcle-
graph and radio service, instructed
nc stations to "exerr the utmost eff
forts tn secure from reliable persons
the identity of any plane that may
have flown over their locality July
20, and wire us immediately"
The stations also were instructed
to contact persons IN the wild and
remote areas along the island. These
areas have been carefully searched by
army and navy planes
Four days of continuous scouting
forced four big army Dombers out Of
the vast search for the Hawaii Clip
per today and army officials called
a conference to determine future
moves after another "a hours of hunt
ing in vain.
The bombers returned to their base
at Fort Stotsenburg to be serviced
after long daily flights at sea.
Army authorities did not indicate
what they expected to develop from
the conference, or whether it would
result in their complete withdrawal
from the search.

Former Officials

trict Attorney Thomas Dewey today
named Former District Attorney Will
liam c. Dodge, an active city magis-
trate and former city magistrate as
having been involved in brides or init
midations in connection with the late
Dutch Schultz, multi-million dollar

In addition to Dodge, Dewey named
Magistrate Hulon Capshaw and the

ney, appeared to enter his plea.

Raleigh, Aug. TT appears to be
the Raleigh consensus that the spe-

The gesture will be absolutely mean

Minnesota farmers are FORUM

farmer who uses mares for work
can raise his own colts and sell the
older animals at years Of age, for

How can one tell when fattening
cattle have reached a full feed of
grain or approximately q full feed?
The experienced feeder can
usually detect this by the behavior
of the cattle but for the mex
perienced it is not so easy. When
some animals begin to leave the
feed hunks before the feed is all
cleaned up, all the animals are get
ting all the feed they can hande.
Since a little less than a full feed
of grain is generally more profit
able than self-feeding, or "full
feeding" it is good practice to feed
no more grain than will be just
about cleaned up by the time the
first animals leave the feed bunk
at each feeding time. w. H.
Peters, chief, division Of animal
husbandry.
Is IL practical to kill small
patches Of Canada thistle with
sodium chlorate? Will the chlorate
work on low land? I intend to use
alfalfa for larger areas.
Spraying Canada thistle patches
with sodium chlorate is practical
for small spots, but alfalfa is best
for field size plots. The alfalfa is
best cut twice, with the first cult
ing being taken off a little earlier
than usual If the low land is high
in organic matter, the effectiveness
Of the chlorate will be lessened. In
such areas it might be best to try
reed canary grass or Sudan grass
unless the patches are small II
the low spots are not too wet to be
worked. it will probably be best to
put in Sudan grass and cut as FIRE.

LOVE AND HAPPINESS
I. M. Totep, Author
The modern woman who has an
unhappy or unsatisfactory love life
is faced with a serious problem.
She is free-free from Victorian
conventions and the double stand
ards Of morality. And since she
can earn her own living, she has al
so been released from her former
economic bondage to man. Yet one
question has not been answered. It
is this: How far may she go in
exercising her freedom without en-
dangering her soul or her body or
her position in society. And If she
does venture forth, will she find
more happiness than pain?
A distinguished physician has
written this book to help women
arrive at satisfying answer. He
himself is a true modern who calls
a spade a spade and ignores old
wives tales. He sets forth ar
guments for and against sexual
freedom and points out what the
best course is as indicated by the
many experiences that women have
confided to him. He is not dogma
tic; he is, as all scientists are, an
experimenter. His book is written
simply, directly, and warmly-in the
tone Of a friendly doctor to a pat
lent. It can therefore serve as a
real guide and counsel to the wom-
an who wants to know whether or
how she can avoid an inadequate
sex life.
