Uhler and F. A. Warren of the federal bio- [logical survey at Washington. At Long Lake, three miles from |Moffit, Uhler counted hundreds of dead ducks, snipes, herons, gulls and shore birds. Death of the birds was due, he said, probably to alkoline Poisoning. Ducks on the Bear River marsh in Utah have met death by thousands in the same manner, Uhler r from | said.

They spoke favorably of surrounding lakes as bird refuges. The survey is being made j work will be in weather observations, |in connection with legislation passed by congress which will provide migra- tory bird refuges in northwestern states.

Professors of chemistry, military | authorities and fire-fighting experts | Were assembled to consider ways and means to counteract the air menac: Germany, speakers pointed out, i by its geographical position open to air attacks from all sides. Dr. Kern of the Carinthian Anti- Air Attack association said that there existed about 100 different kinds of war poisons, but only about 10 of them were known to the general pub- lic: the blister-raising, the corrosive, the nerve-paralyzing, and -he tear gases. To all of these, he said, there exist antidotes, but the necessity remains to know them all and to be prepared for all. Prof. Carl Hegler of St. George's hospital, Hamburg, related his experi- ence in treating the cases of phosgen poisoning arising from the catastrophe there a year ago. He said that of the 300 victims only 10 died, the others being saved by treatment which must be rapid to be effective. Prof. Robert Pschorr of the Char- lottenburg technical high school said that no gas protection devices could assure 100 per cent safety; neither would a locked door kecp out a bur- glar, but it would be a reckless pro- jecdure to leave doors and windows jopen, thus making it still casier for the burglar. Tire Chief Stein of Madgebu:s spoke of the latest chemical fire- fighting appliances that might be utilized to quench conflagrations caused by incendiary bombs. Major Grosskreutz, air expert of the former imperial army, said that tt! was a flight of fancy to imagine en- emy bombers coming over “like clouds cf locusts.” Only a fraction of a coun- try’s air force, he argued, could oe used effectively at the front. He gave an instance of an air squad which protected the Mannheim - Ludwigs- hafen indu:trial area during the World war. Three hundred ascents jwere made, but only seven times did the German flyers come into contact with the enemy, and ay eight eneaty: planes were it down—one hit in 37 tries. — Equally exaggerated, in his views, of attacks with ex- experience having shown that to destroy a balloon area of six square miles 10,000 tons of bombs would be needed, which would require the services of 200 day ma- chines or 100 night machines making 1C9 attacks cach, assuming that cach machine was capable of making 100 attacks. ‘The incendiary bomb, in his opinion, was most to be feared by the un- happy citizens of centers open to air attacks. | ive bombs, Damage Suit Against Minnesota League Is Brought in Moorhead | Lag ard Minn., Sept. 6—(P)— jAnna B.

This will be especially true in the South China provinces of Kwangsi and Kwangtung, where the princi- pal crop, rice, is below normal. There arc 49,000,000 people in the provinces and the normal rice crop is about 4,000,000 short tons. Spring rainfall this year was 25 per cent less than average in Kwangst and Kwangtung, so the farmers have passed through one of the most seri- ous droughts in 50 years. Large provincial cities depending on rain for their water supplies have faced serious shortages of the precious liquid and even the British Colony of Hongkong endured a two months’ dry spell that drained every reserve reser- voir. Thousands went thirsty and water was shipped in from Shanghai and Manila by chartered steamer. Back in the interior, conditions were worse. And now the Chinese farmer is wondering where his win- ter provisions are coming from. To satisfy the city consumer, merchants throughout South China contracted for September deliveries of rice from Singapore, Siam and Indo-China. It is also anticipated that there will be a substantial increase in American wheat flour imports, although money spent on luxuries and foreign made goods will be less than last year. Estimates of the first rice crop place the yield at between 20 and 40 per cent of normal. Coupled with the fact that there was a 70 per cent reduction in the yield of the second rice crop last fall, due also to drought, most the situation is that the farmer will need two or three years to recover, granting that 1930 and 1931 are good years. The majority are too poor to tl food for the winter, seed for the next planting and, if extremely lucky, a surplus for sale. | want Five men drove up to the house where he lives and to see Prutis.

I'm being absolutely sincere, Mr. Hall. I don’t want to do popular stuff. I'm tired of manufacturing for the trade. T’ve had enough of catering to the market.

That she did not care if he never found her a publisher. That the only thing that mattered that the book was written, and the truth told. But she knew he would think she was telling lies, if she should talk to him like that. Because it is doubt- ful if anybody ever wrote anything with the idea that nobody would read it. She hung up the receiver slowly, wondering why she had written the book, if it were true that she did not care whether it was published. ‘The half-remembered lines of a fur- tive poem ran tantalizingly through her mind.
