interest on the part of Big Bend

the 194l acreage planted to wheat
would produce, at normal yields, more
than 200 bushels would be affected

Under the quota, cooperating farmer,
one who plants within his wheat acre
age allotment, is free to market all
he produces, plus his carryover wheat.
Wheat in. excess of the quota on over
planted farms is subject to penalty
unless it is stored under seal. If a
quota is proclaimed and disapproved,

ion of the law, marketing quota
proclamation ia mandatory whenever

supply Of wheat for the next market
ing year will exceed normal years

more than IS per cent. Present indi

ELECTRICAL ENERGY AT DAM
Is AID TO NATIONAL DEFENSE

Initial generation of electric energy
by Grand Coulee dam on the Columbia
River was hailed as an aid to national
defense by President Franklin D. Roos-
evelt
In a letter to Frank A. Banks, Sup
e1vjsing Engineers of the giant project,
President Roosevelt declared that put
ting the dam to work two years ahead
of schedule ''is fine job we'll done -
The project, the president said,
"Gerved to provide much useful employ
rnent at time eight years ago when
it was important that we find at once
a means of avoiding complete economic
stagnation, and it will serve now to
provide the power to make aluminium
for airplanes and otherwise to speed
our protective arms
Grand Coulee dam, the greatest
structure ever completed by man, will
be the largest source of hydroelectnc
power in the world when all generators
have been installed. The first energy
from the project, constructed by the
Bureau Of Reclamation was generated
last Saturday when two l0,000,kilo-
watt generators were turned on. The
10000 kilowatts of power they pro
duce viii he only symbol of the enor
snous energy which will flow later
from the largest generators in the
world. (Ultimate capacity of the pro-
icct will be 100000 XIV.

Resigned to Life
In 'Phobic Prison
University Professor Has
Terror of Distance.

MADISON, WIS.-William Ellery
Leonard, University OF Wisconsin
professor, observed his sixty-ffth
birthday anniversary resigned to
spending his last years in his SELF
imposed '.phobic prison."
Chained to a six-block campus dis
trict by terror of distance induced
by roaring locomotive when he
was little more than two years old,
the white-haired poet-professor has
written Of his phobia in his auto
biography. "The Locomotive-God."
Today, seated in his spaciously
windowed, third-hoor campus apart
ment, the man whose flowing wind
sor ties have been familiar to uni
versity students for IS years, was
without hope OF ever extending his
boundaries.
Furthermore, he said, he has no
plans for retiring from his teaching
position, although he is eligible to
do So
Il plan to go on with my teach
ing he said. II feel we'll. feel
the university needs me, and I'm
going to stick with my regular
work"
Although Mr.. Leonard first was
stricken with the phobia while only
a child, it did not become pro-
nounced until the tragic death Of
his first wife, Charlotte Freeman
Leonard, which he described in
1.-TWO Lives book Of sonnets con-
sidered to be among the finest in
the English language.
Sharing his prison walls is Char
lotte Charlton Leonard, his fourth
wife. She was his second wife, too,
and spent 20 years with him before
divorcing him in 1884. His third
wife was Grace Golden Leonard,
once his student, whom he married
in 1884 and from whom he was di-
vorced in 1897.

BOYS Trained in Michigan Industry
HeIp to Put China Back on Her Feet

DEARBORN. Mich.-A hundred
young Chinese students who re-
ceived technical education a
few years ago in Henry Fords
automobile plants today are using
this training to help put China
back on her industrial feet.
The Ford-trained youths have
become first lieutenants to Rewi
Alley. the New Zealander who
originated the unique idea OF vest
pocket industries to revive
nation left helpless by military
invasion.
Equipped with mechanical,
engineering and administrative
knowledge acquired in the Ford
school system, the students
started working with Alley In
1888 to put across the system OF
Chinese Industrial Cooperatives.
At last count, these small "guer-
rilla" industries numbered 5000
units, producing 100 different
items ranging from shoes to
chemicals.
Kuan Pei Liu, former Ford stu
dent and now general secretary
of CIC at Chungking, China. COM
municated recently with Ford om-
cials, explaining the important
part his fellow students are play
ing In the cooperatives.
Most Of our key mon are Ford
men," he said. All over China you
will find Ford-trained mon making
use OF their training. Most Of
them are on the road In technical
work, some Of them occupy high
administrative positions"
Liu explained that the boys
were sent to Michigan from China
for training between 1922 and
1880 through the efforts OF Joseph
Bailie, a Californian who was in
China building roads. Feeling the
Chinese youth needed Z cater
technical skill, he arranged " h
Henry Ford for the training of
100 students In the Ford pIa It.

Goats Start Landslide
That Destroys 4 Village

BUCHAREST. RUMANIA. = The
Bucharest press said tonight that
an entire village in the Carpathian
foothills had been destroyed by
landslide blamed on goats.
The goats, it was said, killed trees
by nibbling the bark, the trees were
cut down, their roots decayed, and
loose earth, rock and shale slipped
under pressure of melting snow
More than 200 acres of land en-
quilted the village, it was reported,
leaving 100 families and their live
stock without shelter. The reports
did not mention casualties. The
press denied foreign reports (pub-
lished by the official DNB news
agency in Berlin) that the slide was
caused by an earthquake. (The DNB
report said 800 dwellings, church
and school were destroyed. The
same area was severely damaged
by the earthquakes of last Novem-
Der 10)
