There can be little doubt that the elements are taking a heavy toll from the productivity of great sections of the middle west. Huge tracts of grain land are probably ruined for years. Destructive floods largely the result of human mismanagement of the land wipe out mWes of farms. It is hopefully thought this damage mav be repaired. But even if it is. it will be years before fertility is retured to the soil. Millions must be spent in the by-no-means-certain attempt to bring ruined lands back into production. Even then, it is a question whether the cost will be repaid. An acre of grain land is worth only so much, and when it becomes be-comes too expensive, it is uneconomical. In the west, we have not suffered much as yet from floods or drouth. But we have suffered enough to serve as a warning to us. Prevention is better than cure and we must heed the grim lessons of the midwest if we do not want, in a few years, to have the same experience. We live in a fertile land. We can keep it fertile only by using our brains, applying scientific measures, avoiding the mistakes of our less fortunate fellow-citizens farther east. It should be the duty of every state to take swift, effective ef-fective measures to prevent erosion, to control floods, to stop farming methods that, in the long run, spell disaster and maybe famine. Out of 75 Here's a story about a waitress, that happens to be true. ic- She worked in a downtown restaurant; still does. Every ?day she got up at the same time, worked the same shift, saw the same -customers, went thru the same routine. Being & normal sort of girl he sameness of her existence finally jgot her down. T. The other noon, customers in the booths she tended ''found the silver laid all the wrong way knives on the left, 3forks on the right, spoons anywhere. Some of them kicked jjand some laughed. The girl explained: "I just had to do something different differ-ent or go crazy !" Most of us feel, at some time or other, very much like the waitress. Going thru the same motions every day becomes be-comes a torture. We have all wondered why the streetcar motorman doesn't suddenly get off his route and go touring all over the city. Or why movie cashiers don't jump up, sell themselves them-selves a ticket and go inside to see the show. When you feel that life is piling up on you, and that the routine is getting you down, do something different for a day or two. Get out into the country ; come into the city anything to break the chains of circumstance. You'll feel better for it. An Old French Custom The appearance on the high seas of the gigantic new Stliner Normandie, seeking to bring supremacy in Atlantic passenger transport back to the French Hag, is a little reminder re-minder that French skill in building ships is a tradition with a very ancient lineage. 1 During the last century, it has been more or' less taken for granted that the British were the world's most skillful builders. British navy and merchant marine out-classed all others; most of us assumed that it always had been that way. Yet as recently as the day of Nelson, French designers -were far superior 4o those of England. The ships with which Nelson destroyed French sea power were actually -inferior, in design and construction, to the French ships they .defeated. The appearance of the Normandie is simply a return :to the old days when French builders acknowledged no mas-"ter mas-"ter anywhere. j SIDE GLANCKS "Yes, , there's a farm about 'chickens and egsrs and . . 9 Herald the Rut - By George Clark four miles down that all that sort of thing." has OUT OUR WAY TOBtE, SOU'VE" wHV-UM- YI 6UESS YrWArS JUST WHAT?
