Three definite types of areas will be designated for their educational, his- torical and research values, the Forest Service said. The first—a system of “natural areas"—will be of growing value, the announcement added, because of the “increasing scarcity of v forests of the type that were associate with the early history of America A number of “primitive areas” will be designated, it was said, for the bene- fit of people who crave the “back to nature” type of forest recreation. “It is expected that from five to ten experimental forests will be required within each of the 12 or 13 forest re- (Continued From Second Page) | species.

FORMER DIRECTOR IN BERRY TANGLE Raymond Wells Says Wife of Actor Left for Las Vegas on Business. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, September 20.— Raymond Wells, former motion picture | director, took the center of the stage | today in the marital differences of Noah Beery, film actor, and his wife, Mrs. Marguerite Beery. Wells, returning from Las Vegas, Nev., last night, where he went with Mrs. Beery September 8, said, “I am astonished to learn that Mr. Will Hays, with his rigid laws of censorship, would permit any one in motion pictures to malign a_woman.” After Mrs. Beery departed for Las Vegas and had been gone a week, Beery reported her disappearance to police, saying he would prosecute any one| responsible for enticing her away. Mrs. Beery, upon her return recently, stated she had gone to Las Vegas on business and was amused and surprised to learn her departure had been a “disap- pearance.” Wells said he was at home to any officers or others who wished to in vestigate the incident. He said, as did Mrs. Beery, that the Nevada trip was in connection with a film they expected to_produce. Mrs. Beery reiterated her statement she would decide whether to return to Las Vegas to seek a divorce after efforts to iron out differences, chiefly financial, with her husband had met with success or failure. Beery retired to his ranch and an- nounced he was waiting for his wife's | return. | \UTAW'S PERIURY FARM | BEARS OUT PROPHECY | }unn Who Was Jailed for Raising | Wheat Without Irrigation Lives to See Much Dry Wheat.
