would accept a smaller farm income
These new owners took toll from the
soil, soon found it impossible to OBJ
tain farm income enough to meet
their needs, and left the farm.
Farms so poor that they were un.
salable were occupied by families who
acquired possession by squatters
rights. These families could not
wiring living from the soil but lived
in community that required children
to attend school and that would not
permit neighbors to starve.
The burden of supporting the
schools and of providing relief fell
upon farm owners who had managed
their lands to retain its productive
ness and upon townspeople who de-
pended upon prosperous agriculture
to provide a market for manufactured
goods and for services. Road build
ing to isolated farms and snow re-
moval to permit egress from those
farms in winter increased the finan-
cial burden.
People in the affected sections of
Wisconsin decided they should be CIV
en- the power of decision to say what
should be done with distressed farm
land. They obtained the legal right
to designate land as being untitled
for farming and to forbid it's occu-
patton for that purpose.
Squatters could not move into
shacks and await provision of roads,
schools and food. Mr.. Rowland did
not suggest the Wisconsin law to Ohio
extesion agents as a solution for Ohio
land problems. He advised that Ohio
continue its land use studies and
make its own decision of the best way
to improve the situation here.
He emphasized the Importance of
rural people working on land use
study committees so they would have
first-hand knowledge of local condi-
tions and an interest in correcting
any undesirable features. The adop-
ton of corrective measures would re-
quire the assistance of townspeople
living in the area so it is important
they be informed of work done and
proposed by the land use committees.

CCC Plan Reclaims
 2,3OO, ,OOO Young Men
Huge Enrolment Since 1883, Which Might Have Be- come an Economic Liability, Now National Asset

of the enrollees makes the eco pro- gram important educationally and in terms of defense, the report showed. It was found that thirty per cent had never had jobs of any kind before entering the CCC. Of the remaining seventy per cent ,46 per cent had had mo more than one job each. The average duration of the jobs previously held was only 2.2 months. In fact, fifty-six per- cent of those who had held jobs had worked less than one month. Their pay had averaged about $S.50 per week.
 Besides building up health and work experience, the eco provides character and citizenship training that help to build morale, which is also vital to defense, the study indicated. The report recommend- ed that the enrolment of each camp be kept up to capacity by sending youth to the camps. more frequently than every three months, the presen procedure, since tho administrative cost of camp is the same regardless of the number of youths in it..
 This study of the eco and a com- panion study of the resident cen- ters of the National Youth Adminis- tration were made by special staff of the American Youth Comnis- sion, of which Owen D. Young is chairman, Floyd w. Reeves is di- rector, and Paul T. David is acting director. Subsequent sections of the survey will be. presented to govern ment officials and the public as the analyses are completed by the staff.

Washington, Sept. 2O.--As a result of the Civilian Conservation Corps program, 2,S0O,O00 young men who otherwise might have become econ- onlic liabilities have been turned Into national defense assets since 1883, according to the first section of a thorough analysis of the pper- ations of the eco made during the last four years for the American Youth Commission of the American Council on Education.
 The young men who have been through the camps who are now in the age groups that will bear most of the burden under the con- scription law not only have been improved physically and in morale by their eco training, but also have obtained oWork experience that will be of great value in the defense pro- gram, 1t was found.
 sThe boys who have been through the camps" the report said, "are generally speaking much. better qualified for military and non-mili- tary service in defense of their country than they would have been without such training"
 The eco this year is operating 1900 camps with maximum en- rollment of 311, 900, including youth, war veterans, Indians and terri torials, it was reported in this first section of the staff,s analysis. Of this number, 270000 are young men, per cent of the nations al- most 4,000, 900 unemployed youth. The annual cost is about 5000 a man.
 By pioneering in work camps in America" it was reported, "the eco is building morale and train- ing youth so that they can later take places in defense industries and, if need be, in military service. But, besides this, the corps is inno- vating in this country the work camp principle, by which youth get a chance to acquire work experi- ence before they are thrust into the competitive job market. This has long been wide gap in the edu- cational process"
 The American Youth Commis- oAOll D Sbuuy VI bklC wv ICHulIGQ d staff that at times during the four years included as many as 125 persons. The study had the cooper ation of one hundred colleges and universities, and covered 250 CCC camps scattered throughout all 48 states. Psychological tests were giv- en to 14O00 enrolleeS. An advis- ory committee of twenty educators and sociologistS and fifteen consult- ing specialists aided in the work. After the initial research, the CCC invited the Youth Commission to conduct experimental programs in several of its camps.
 Kenneth Holland, director of the study and associate director of the American Youth Commission, pre-. sented the first section of the eco analysis to J. J. McEntee, director of the Civilian Conservation Corps at c conference in Washington of officials in charge of various phases of the CCC. Others at the con- ference included Fred Morrell, rep resenting the Department of Agri- culture; Conrad Worth, representing the Department of the Interior; General James A. Uric and Colonel Kenneth B. Bush, representing the War Department; c. w. Bailey of the Veterans Administration; and others.

Priesthood Beauty Services
As Important AS Doctor
And Dentist Routine,
Say Child Experts

Fortified with sun and vitamins,
protected by check-ups by the doc
tor and the dentist, next week
mothers darlings by the hundreds
will be trudging back to school.
Beauty experts, taking the cue
from child experts, this year, more
than ever before are trying to i'm
press on the mothers minds that
pre-school beauty services are as
much a p%re-school routine as visits
to the doctor and the dentist. Child
experts say that a feeling of in
feriority, growing out of stringy
hair, bad skins, OF any of the other
beauty blemishes to which youth
is heir, may handicap the child
throughout her life.

The Vogue meets both require

clusters of petal-like ringlets, and
letting ends fall casually into clust-
ers of vertical or horizontal rolls
and puffs. These make excellent
foundations for the recomlng for
classes, when the curls lose their
individual identity and are caught
in a velvet peruke, and the crown
petals are brushed out into a wavy
forelock.
