QULMILE GROP OF TREES GROWN U. S. Nurseries Devoting Energies to Battle on Soil Erosion. By the Associated Press. The Government expects to produce | enough trees in the coming year to create one of the largest forests in the | world. Officials announced yesterday that | Federal and co-operating nurseries | will have an output of 600,000,000 | trees and shrubs, which will be| planted in reforestation projects at | the rate of about 1,000 to the acre. Officials said the new tree crop should be enough if planted in one tract to cover 940 square miles. It was em- phasized, however, that the trees will not be planted in one tract, despite last vear's proposal for a forest “shelter-belt” to halt erosion and dust- storms. In addition to the trees and shrubs, officials said the nursery program calls for collection of 1.000.000 pounds of grass seed not available commer- cially. Nineteen new nurseries will be estab- lished, the announcement said, bring- ing the total operated by the Soil Con- servation Service to 83, located in 38| States. The average nursery was said to contain about 50 acres. Fifteen of the nurseries were said to | have been established primarily to | provide trees for planting by the 545 C. C. C. camps. | A large proportion of the 600,000,000 trees and shrubs, officials said, will be used in forestation phases of erosion | control work on farms and grazing lands. ‘The 1,000,000 pounds of grass seed will be used to anchor the soil on land retired from cultivation under the erosion control program. i ELECTRIC AUTHORITY | OFFICE COMING HERE Transfer From Chattanooga to Capital Is Announced by Officials. By the Associated Press. ‘The Electric Home and Farm Au- | thority announced yesterday its prin- | cipal offices would be removed imme- | diately from Chattanooga, Tenn., to Washington.

GIRL’'S MURDER CHARGED 25-Year-Old Laborer Held Slaying of Mill Worker, 17. « BIZEDEFORD, Me., September 4 (). —Probable cause was found by a court yesterday to hold Alexander Cloutier, 25-year-old laborer., for the York County grand jury on a charge of murdering Florence Grenier, 17- year-old mill worker. | Cloutier, who pleaded innocence to the charge a week ago, was remanded to the county jail at Alfred without bail.

THE EVENING STAR, Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. WHAT, AGAIN? I’!‘ SEXMS that another of these “you just can't lose” schemes is current here. It works out something like this: A takes a coin card to B, C and D, on| which their names are written. The last three put in a quarter each. For it they get a card to be filled in like manner. Then A mails his card in an envelope provided for the purpose and | receives a carton of cigarettes. As soon as the other cards on which the names of B, C and D appear are filled, they, too, receive a carton of their favorite cigarettes. The cigarettes bring the company | $1.50 or $2 a carton, and yet the con- | tributor is assured he can't lose . . .| * ¥ K % ANCIENT TROWEL USED. "THE original trowel used by George Washington in laying the corner stone of the Capitol also | was used in laying the corner | stones of the Washington Monu- | ment and the new Commerce De= partment Building. e WANT TO KNOW WHY. SEND an international money order to a friend in the Irish Free State | these days—and see what happens! This waysider did the other day and officials at the Benjamin Franklin Station immediately wanted to know the whys and wherefores behind the sending of the money. ‘When it was explained they seemed relieved. “We thought it might have some- thing to do with these Irish Sweep- stakes,” observed the authorities. “You know we are bearing down on that.” Incidentally, the amount one can send in one international postal money order is limited to $100. To send $500 to a person, it would be neces- sary to fill out five identical applica- tions. . ‘THIS IS SWORN TO! 'HIS tale concerns an exceedingly pretty model at a downtown store, | who, when not busy, has a habit of gazing out of a show window in a dreamy sort of way with her face as expressionless as the side of a wall. One day recently, while in such a trance, with her hand on her hip | and her face looking over a slightly raised shoulder, a couple of customers walked up. One of the women reached toward the model's skirt as if to examine the material. Whereupon the dreamy model moved suddenly, and that are on the required list for GIRLS “‘Shirley Temple”” Dresses $1.95 —We've sketched one of the new Fall dresses the little It _comes Smart for Cotton Blouses $1.15 Prilly and tajlored stsles including_the uniform model in all the Pall shades and white.

Girls’ Coat Sale WASHINGTON, D the shopper jumped back in amaze- ment, exclaiming: “Gosh, she's alivel” * %k X A YOUNG SOLOMON. UBUA!.LY at the theater the mother who explains to her child what the show is all about is as much of an annoyance as the old sub-title read- er pest of the silent movie days. But one night last week it was different. During the vaudeville act, this par- ticular mother was explaining to her young son what each performer was to do. Everything worked out as she said until a comic was announced as the next act. “This one’s a comedian, dear; he's going to make you laugh,” she said. L) Well, to make a short story shorter, this comic was so bad he didn't draw the semblance of a laugh from any one, Finally, impatient, the child turned to his mother and asked: “Mama, when's the funny man com- ing out?” * ok kX NO THOUGHTS OF REWARD. GIRL employed in the American Federation of Labor Building is convinced of two things. First, that it pays to advertise, and second, some people are honest, even when there is no expectation of reward. “Recently,” she said, “I lost a pack- age containing $19 in hirmail and | airmail special delivery stamps. “I advertised in the paper and also had the loss broadcast. “They were returned to me in a o0 plain envelope, with no return address given.” * ok Kk IT SOUNDS FORMIDABLE. IT’S much easier to find the Arlington Memorial Bridge if you just go around hunting for it instead of trying to find it from mk address given in the telephone The bridge is listed all right, but its address is written this way: “Arlington Memorial Bridge, Bas« cule Draw Span.” * ok kX LIVELY IMAGINATIONS. ONE District employe needs no con- vincing from Freud or any one else with respect to what an imagi- nation can do. Only recently, he said, there was a number of sharp complaints about what appeared to be a dead cat on the roof of a building near Juvenile Court, the property of the District Government. The complaints piled up, each more lurid than the last, and finally a ladder was procured and the objectionable object was removed. It was a teddy bear, the toy of some child. Earthquake Recorded.
