NEW DUSTSTORM STARTS INKANSAS Ré_in Skirts Stricken Areas, Leaving Southwest at * Mercy of Winds. li the Associated Press. Rains today skirted the dust-stricken partion of the wheat belt, leaving res- idents and live stock ‘at the mercy of new soil-laden wings. Dust was reported “about the same” over Southeastern Colorado. Dodge Clty, Kans., advised “today's dust- storm is just getting started. It is tao early to tell how severe it will be." In that region a wind from an un- usual quarter, the northeast, had reached a velocity of 24 miles an hour and there was general fear of cansiderable blowing. ‘Parts of Eastern Kansas and Okla- homa were pelted with hail and there was rain there as well as in much of Missouri. A foot of snow fell along the Continental Divide west of Denver. Rain Far Short of Need. In the dust area the light showers and sprinkles that have fallen in the past 48 hours are far short of the amount needed to settle the dust and supply moisture with which to start | Spring crops and revive the grass lands. Over most of the sector—em- | bracing parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas. New Mexico and Coloraa & dust haze still lingered along with tantalizing clouds. There was hope in showers. which fell Wednesday at Scott City, Kans., and Syracuse, Kans.,, and dust-laden sprinkles at Dodge City, Kans., and | Beaver, Okla. Early today a promis- | ing storm cloud was -moving down the Arkansas River Valley in Colorado. It left.both rain and snow along the | upper reaches of the stream. A heavy fall of snow on the slopes of Pike's Peak relieved an acute water | shortage at Colorado Springs. From the East showers came near the affected area. Blackwell, Okla., had 1.7 inches of rain. and there were sghowers to the north as far as Beloit, Kans. “No Rain, No School.” In Morton County, Kans., the stand- tng order was: | *No rain, no school.” | Acting upon the request of parents. | who feared that school busses might | be stranded in the "storms, school boards announced schools would not be reopened until it rains. Meanwhile, State and Federal offi- cials hurried through a survey of the stricken areas. M. L. Wilson, Assistant Secretary of | Agriculture, continued his inspection | tour, moving into Oklahoma and Texas after meeting with soil experts at| Garden City, Kans Representatives of the five States | recommended a two-phase program. | The one—a tcmporary measure— | would extend the Kansas dust barrier | program across the entire breeding | ground of the dust and sand storms. | ‘This plan, now under way in Kansas, involves the listing of deep furrcws at right angles to the prevailing winds. The other—a long-time anti-dust plan—includes the resodding of land susceptible to hluwing with grass crops.

Landon of Kansas, who aceompanied Wilson over part of the sector, said he was not sure that the listing program would prevent the soil from blowing, but added, “It’s the only program that has been offered.” FULTS CAPTURED BY TEXAS OFFICERS Recent Running Mate of Outlaw Hamilton Trapped in Blind Lane. By the Associated Press. * DENTON, Tex., April 18.—Ralph Fults, recent running mate cf the con- demned outlaw Raymond Hamilton, was captured near here yesterday by three Denton officers who chased him to the end of a blind country lane. Officers Luther Allen, Roy Moore and Sam Gentry, who made the cap- ture, said the youthful fugitive ad- mitted his identity. Fults, who crove desperately to elude the trio of officers after they trapped him on a ro>d l-ading to Lake Dallas, surrendered withcut firing a shot, al- though he carried a pistol. Before dawn the cfficers made an unsuccessful search of Fults' known hideouts n-ar Lake Dallas. They were driving back to the city when they encountered Fults as he drove along | the highway. He swung his car around and sped east. The officers raced | after him and he attempted to elude them by swerving into the lane. a smart hat for Easter... easy to find at Harris’, where a big collection enables vou to choose from 2.95 up. Jusbh o JAPAN INCREASES EXPORTS OF RAYON If Rate Is Maintained Will Oust U. S. From First . Place This Year. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, :Aprfl 18.—Japan's rapidly expanding textile industry, having already snatched from Great Britain world leadership in the export of | cotton goods, is forging to the front | yesterday in rayon production. Japanese industrialists predict that | should the present rate of increase be | maintained through 1935, Japan this | year will replace the United States as | the largest producer of rayon yarn, the | raw material for artificial silk fabrics. Rayon yarn production for the first | quarter of this year totaled 41,000,000 pounds, & 54 per cent increase over the same period in 1934. With several new factories scheduled to begin pro- | duction during the Summer, estimates | of the 1935 output range from 220, 000.000 to 225,000,000 pounds. The industry’s expansion is reflected | in the exports of rayon textiles, which | for the first quarter totaled 32,000,000 yen (about $9.000,000), showing a 43 per cent increase above the same | quarter last year. |~ Rayon textiles are firmly established in third place in Japan's exports, only cotton goods and raw silk playing & more important role. So great has been the rayon boom that the ministry of commerce and industry has begun an investigation of the danger of over-expansion, over- production and a possible subsequent collapse of the market. Meanwhile, however, new factories are being opened, new markets exploited and profits are rising. ‘The boom coincides with and, in a measure, is compensating the national economy for the recent slump in the raw silk export market, which for a generation was the backbone of Ja- pan’s international trade. Most of Japan's rayon yarn is con- sumed by her own mills, which turn out fabrics for foreign markets. Asia Is Best Market. British India, the Dutch East In- dies and Australia are the largest buyers of Japanese artificial silks, al- though Argentina, Uruguay and other Latin American states are suffering an expanding market, The export of rayon in the yarn stage, although on a smaller scale, is growing even more rapidly. For the D. C, THURSDAY, first two months of 1935 it was valued at 3,256,000 yen (about $911,000), seven times the figures for the first two months of 1933. Japan's rayon industry has surged to the front only in the last five years. In 1930 the production of rayon yarn was only 40,000,000 pounds, about & fifth of this year's estimated out- put. In 1933, for the first time, Japan displaced the British cotton industry as the largest exporter of cotton tex- tiles. In 1934 Japanese cotton cloth exports reached a total of 2,568,000,- 000 square yards, half a billion yards above the British total. Pocket X-Ray Set Devised. Dr. A. Bouwers of Holland has per- fected an X-ray set which may be carried in the pocket and plugged into an ordinary lamp socket. It is only % inches long and will take an ex- cellent photograph in two seconds. Dr. Bouwers also has perfected a tube capable of withstanding the pene- trating X-rays, yet it is much smaller than anything now used for the pur- pose. JuLius GarrinckeL & Co.
