He said he would ask congress to appropriate between 13 and 15 million dollars for this count and that it would require the services of about 25,000 persons who would be given special training for several months. The census would not only, take up an enumeration of those classified as unemployed," said Roper, but we want to find out which trades or industries the unemployed would fall into. We would also like to help the states in classifying the unemployed from the unemployable. There are many economic questions involved. Some families have enough income to support them, but one or more members may be out of work. We want to obtain information on this phase. Government Bqys 9 Million Acres of Poor Farm Land F EXFORD G. TUGWELL, anadministrator, nounced that the government had acquired more than nine million acres of land considered unsuitable for crop production, and he added that it should buy ten times as much. The Resettlement administration is committed to pay for the land, under option in 210 different projects in 44 states at an average price of $4.40 an acre. These acres, Tugwell said, could not support human subsistence when used as they have been, and so were being restored to grazing, forestry, recreation, and other use for which they were naturally fitted. $39,-916,6- Hitler Scraps Another Treaty Clause A DOLF HITLER has tom up an-oth- er clause of the Versailles treaty the one that international- ized the German rivers and canals. He has announced that the reich has resumed sovereignty over all such waters. The treaty clause was designed partly to give Czechoslovakia free access to the sea, and that nation now has agreed with Belgium to protest formally against Germanys action. British Foreign Minister Eden rather mildly criticized Hitlers course. Belgium Asks Specific Pledge From League VAtiti embarrassing directness Belgium has demanded tha the League of Nations be specifii on what help an attacked membe: nation could count on."

San Franciscos Bridge Formally Opened O AN FRANCISCOS dream of 30 years was realized when the great bridge across the bay of Oakland was formally opened with elaborate ceremony. This largest vehicular bridge in the world has been under construction since July 19, 1933, at a cost of $77,000,000, the funds being largely supplied by the Reconstruction Finance corporation.

Aon few the ago everybody train Im traveling on was talking politics. Today everybody nearly is talking football. Exceptions noted thus far: 1. A middle aged lady talking symptoms. It seems she has had practically everything except lockjaw. And as for operations well, her whole life must have been an open book. I gather she never had a secret that was not shared with at least three doctors. 2. A gentleman connected with the movies talking movies. In an eighteen-hou- r shift. 3. Another gentleman talking self. Irvin S. Cobb We can tell that, up to now, he is just browsing around the edges of this fascinating topic. By tomorrow we expect him to get really into the meat of it. 4. An elderly gentleman talking steadily. He has been going since we left Los Angeles. We dont know exactly what his subject is. Praising Grand Canyon. CCOOTING across Arizona I was moved to weave into this a complete description of the Grand Canyon. But mercy stayed my hand. Instead, I have decided to send to all deserving applicants souvenir postcards showing views of the canyon. This will give the general idea. It looks just like the postcards, only larger. Theres one thing about the Grand Canyon long after every other nat- ural wonder has been desecrated with architectural doodads and the scribbled names of individuals whose signatures would look all right on the register of any dollar-a-da- y American plan hotel, but are sort' of out of place when smeared over one of creations masterpieces, the Grand Canyon will still be unspoiled. . California Rivers. TS fun to cross a river with at least a trace of wetness in it. It must be my early raising, but I like a river to be dampish in spots, T anyhow. After two years I cant get used to southern California rivers, where, for nine months a year, the only craft you can navigate is a stone-boa- t, and unless they use a sprinkling system you cant see where youre going, and they deepen the channel by blasting and not by dredging, and you come back from an aquatic trip full of hayfever dust. They do say the fish have to learn to swim all over again every fall, and down between the steep banks the poor little frogs suffer terribly from sunburn. Its a great country for Holy Rollers but hard on Baptists. Crater Versus Manville. T M TORN between temptations. Id like to follow the search now on again for Judge Crater, who has been mysteriously missing all these years except for the two or three hundred times when somebody said hed been seen. On the other hand. Tommy Manville, the husband of his country, is reported as having fresh woman trouble back east this time of a blonde nature. Still, I can always prowl the deserts, looking for the judge. Out here, we hunt him at regular intervals. Hes different from the Liberty League.
