quite satisfactory.
Hollywood stars use creams

Gives Farmers a Break
By the Associated Press,

BALTIMORE, Aug. 23.-Mary.
land farmers were able to catch up
on their work in the fields last
week, and crops in general i'm
proved as the State experienced its
tlrst sunny weather in a month.
The Weather Bureau said the
warm weather aided in drying out
fields and grains in shock, improved
growing crops and permitted re-
sumption of cutting and threshing
OF grains and harvesting OF matured
crops and tree fruits.
The bureau said harvesting of
late peas ended in the Allegheny
Mountains and Northern Blue
Ridge Mountain regions and that
yields were good.
Digging of early potatoes is un.
der way again, and late potato
plants are reported good to very
good in most localities.
Early tomatoes are ripening and
are being picked. They are good
IN Western Maryland. and poor to
good in the Central and Eastern
divisions of the State. Most gar.
den and truck crops are good.

I'VE of the Pacific have felt the

Prospects for a water front rec

The Government has given the
city permission to fill in the bulk

OF the land which is used by the
boats. Action by the National Capitol
Parks is needed, however, to prevent
the houseboat owners from merely
moving the moorings further out
into the water and preventing the
completion of the bulkhead.
In addition, Mr.. Budwesky said he
has received approval of City Council
to use the stones in the abandoned
r. F. 81 p. culvert over Hooffs Run
south OF Duke street In constructing
the bulkhead. The Council authorized
the demolition of the culvert at its
last meeting.
Action is expected when the Coun-
Gil meets next week in formulating
an offer to the Southern Railway
1or the portion of land it owns on
Union street, which the Council
members surveyed last week.
Offer Called Inadequate.
The district supervisor, w. Hunter
De Butts, suggested that the city's
proposed offer of $1,000 Is made
quate, and asked for further soon
sideration of purchase price be-
fore he submits the offer to the
company officials.
Further assurance that the city
will have its waterfront park is
contained in the recent approval of
council for the negotiation of a
$4,000 loan to proceed with plans
already approved.

In report released by the In
terror Department, A. L. Nelson,
head of the Patuxent River refuge
said experimental sprayings on
tracts near Scranton, Pa, and at
the Patuxent refuge had in some
cases killed even birds. Dead birds

five pounds of DDT per acre were
applied.
In his report Mr.. Nelson said that
|DDT, when heavily applied. killed a
considerable amount of fish. Shall
low water fish and surface feeders
were affected mostly.
The report cited an experiment
in central New Jersey beach area
where DDT was applied at the rate
of one-half pound per acre.
Irregular wind conditions caused
much of the insecticide to fall on
the adjoining bay. Soon afterward,
more than $4,000 young fish, mostly
menhaden. mullet, killies and other
shore fishes were washed up dead
along the smile beach, presum-
ably killed by the DDT. Fisher
