 President Roosevelt opened the Red Sea shipping route to American vessels as far as the Suez Canal. That action means that United States ships now can take over from the hard-pressed British a substan- tial share of the vital task of Sup- plying the British forces who are lighting in Greece and North Africa for the security of the Suez Canal and the passage to India.
 Coupled with Americas ircor. poration of Greenland in the United States defense zone yesterday, 1t seemed evident that Britain is on the eve of receiving powerful Amer- lean assistance in the war at sea where ultimate strangulation of the British war effort is threatened by the high level of German submar- inc, surface raider, and airplane sinkings.
 The most critical threat of the day seemed cleraly to be the break through effected by Nazi armored column at Monastir Pass in the northwest where Greece, Albania and Jugoslavia meet.
 Racing through Bitolj, the Ger. mans were believed to be in the vicinity of Phlorina where 1t was thought they ran head on into Britains expeditionary force. First accounts indicated that only Q sklrmish was fought in the initial encounter between the British and Germans.
 But today the action may have been broadened as the Nazls thrust to cut pass the northwest corner of the British defense line and slash southward where they >ght take the dreek.British positions in re. verse.
 The Royal Air Force was pound- Ing at the Nazi troops as they moved down through the niounSn valleys and ravines and 1t was likely that general action could be anticipated ct any time.
 The British Greek line runs al. most due east from Phlorina to Gi- anisa, about 90 miles west of Sa- lonika. Then 1t turns sharply south- ward to an anchor in the region Of Mount Olympus.
 May Crack New Line
 Tn addition to the battle now opening in the Phlorina area, 1t was expected that the Germans would attempt to crack the line around

 The water supply Is checked as to location and protection of the source and the means of destruction of the water. Lake water Is prohibited from use for drinking purposes. Author ized drinking water sources are pro- tected wells and springs. An inves. tigation is made of the methods Of sewage and refuse disposal. Proper sub-surface disposal for water care ried sewage wastes or sink water must be provided. Privies wher used must by fiy-tight and sanitary. Burial or burning are the means ern- ployed for disposal of refuse. The inspection also covers cleanliness of kitchen, refrigeration, food handling and dish washing methods. Pasteur- ized milk Is recommended as Q health safeguard at camps. Bathing places are checked as to location WttAb AVACAChNG " uVRh1bs0 AAAubACAA and nearby sources of contamina- ton. The type of medical and nurs- ing service is aScertained.
 When all these sanitary features have been considered, the camp Is given Q sanitary rating. Any camp rated as "poor" must be cleaned up and the rating improved or the camp must be closed. Camps re- ceivIng hte classification of flair" are those found to be in need of minor Improvements Tollow-up inc spections are made in an effort to advance the rating to good"
 Without check-up, even the best of camps may slip, 1t was pointed out. To prevent this, continuous camp inspection IS necessary. Mir. Scott said that information about the sanitary rating of any Connec- tlcut camp on the basis of past in- spections can be obtained by inquiry to the state department of health in Hartford.

Johansen's
Artistry
Revealed
Pianist Gives
Recital at
Howard L.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

A pianist OF exceptional gifts was
heard last night at Howard Univer-
sity when Gunnar Johansen played
in Rankin Chapel as one OF the re-
citalists of the winter series at the
university. His program was one to
reveal both the pianistic capabilities
and the interpretive powers OF an
artist and in both Mr.. Johansen
showed that he could not only meet
the demand but do so with an indi-
vidual touch.
Place in succession the Schubert
Sonata in A Major" and the List
sonata and the measure of an artist
is taken. Mr.. Johansen, by the
beauty of his tone and his poetical
conception in the one and his tre-
mendous brillancy in the other,
made apparent the dimensions Of his
talent and the character of his
musicianship The vast technical
needs of the Liszt sonata had no
difficulties for him and in addition,
he played it with thoughtfulness
. that had taken every shadow Of an
infection into account.
LISTS gigantic work was colored
with a variety Of dynamic effects
beginning with the rather omnious
opening measures through the ro-
mantle interludes to the mysterious
finish. The fugato was a brilliant
display Of virtuosity, encompassed
with accuracy and speed. Yet as
impressive as was Mr.. Johansen's
reading of his work, it was in the
Schubert sonata that one felt the
fundamental leaning OF the artist.
The poignancy Of the music found
special appeal in the quality of Mr.
Johansen's tone and In the poesy of
his interpretations.
Mr.. Johansen has an intimate way
Of playing as II the music rested
between himself and his instrument
Beautiful as is this communion. 1t
nevertheless lacks the power OF pro-
lection and instead of reaching out
to touch the listener, he Is forced
rather, to advance to meet 1t. This
popularity holds back the electrify-
ing sweep Of what could be a COM
pelling performance. If Mr.. johann
sen could find and retain the cur
rents Of feeling that circulate be-
tween performer and audience, all
ways would be open to him. As it is,
he just misses the overwhelming
effect which his talent earns.
Three Bach numbers in Egon
Petrie arrangement, Concerto e
Fuga in C Minor" Three Menuets"
and "Toccata in D Major" served to
introduce the artist and in these he
took time to make a few remarks
about them AS a Bach player, he
is endowed with special insight. The
charming minuets in his graceful
performance Of them were delightful
contrast to the other numbers.
The final group consisted of six Of
his own compositions: Good Friday
Choral" "Toccata in the Phyrgian
Mode" Sonnet" Study in jazz"
Limerick" and Song of the
Reaper Although the audience
was of but fair size, 1t was highly
cordial in its reception of the artist.

Sweden Invents Device
To Dry Bomb Shelters

To eliminate moisture in bomb
proof rooms, often uncomfortable
for those seeking shelter during air
raids, a new device has been per-
fected in Sweden. 1t will be espe-
cially useful in places blasted out of
rocks.
Stockholm reports it also may be
used for ventilating purposes. Under
the new method the moisture is ex-
tracted from the air through con-
densation on cold metal surfaces.

Safety Rules for
Tractor OnerntiOHl

A set Of rules for safe tractor OPP
Grafton was prepared recently by the
farm safety committee Of the Farm
Equipment institute and approved by
the national safety council. Observa-
ton of these rules should result In
fewer farm accidents with TRACTORS
and machinery. Rules follow:
1. Be sure the gear shift lever Is IN
neutral before cranking the engine.
2. Always engage the clutch gently
especially when going up a NIL OF
pulling out Of q ditch.
8. When driving on highways, or to
and from fields. be sure both wheels
are braked simultaneously when max
ing an emergency stop.
4. Always ride on seat or stand on
platform Of tractor. Never ride on
drawbar Of tractor or drawn imple-
S. When tractor is hitched to a
stump or heavy load, always hitch TO
drawbar and never take up the SLACK
of chain with jerk.
8. Be extra careful when working
on hillsides. Watch out for holes or
bitches into which wheel may drop
and cause tractor TO overrurn.
z. Always keep tractor IN gear wnen
going down steep hills or grades.
8. Always drive tractor at speeds
slow enough to insure safety, especial :
ly over rough ground or near bitches.

REPORT RANGE
IMPROVE
AREA REPORTS
SURVEY HAS BEEN COM
PLETED

As a result Of less livestock on
the range, better distribution Of
livestock numbers and more faveY-
able growing conditions, range
lands In general in the Roundup
area have made rapid improve
ments, according TO Curtis J.
Spalding, manager Of the soil con-
servatiOn service I'm that area,
which includes MusselsheIl county.
In 1886 range survey was made Of
land IN Musselshen county as q part
Of the Submarginal land purchase and
land development program. In order
to more definitely determine the IN
crease in carrying capacity by area.
a recheck was made this fall on the
basis Of the 1886 survey. According 10
Spalding there has been an increase
in carrying capacity on most OF the
lands since 1895, but Of special sig
nificance is the increased carrying
capacity on lands seeded to crested
wheatgrass by the soil conservation
service.
The recheck shows that on 7.12O
acres Of crop and abandoned crop
land purchased incident to the sub
marginal land purchase program and
seeded to crested wheatgrass, the car
rying capacity has been increased
more than II times. In 1895 this land
was capable Of supporting "a head OF
cattle for eight months grazing. In
1910 this same land, as the result Of
crested wheatgrass seeding, is capable
of supporting 292 head of cattle for
a comparative grazing period. Spald-
ing pointed out that additional pur-
chased lands have been and are be-
ing seeded to crested wheatgrass
which viii also greatly increase the
range forage when these stands are
established.
