composition are the latest fad for
women of fashion. Introduced by
Enzel of Paris, the sandals are of
transparent glass with soles and
heels of modernistic trend, look-

glass. They are laced upon the
feet with silver kid straps.

SHREVEPORT, La. — The
"voici w.ui the tniue" .
telepi companies may give
‘service with a smile”—but there
is a limit to everything. An un-
identified out-of-town man sq
learned when he called the
Shrevepoi t telephone office to ,
find if it ran a "date bureau.”
1127 acres planted to new forest
; and 139 acres sodded to meadow.
There were 33 bur clover seed I
plots established in 1938 for pro-
ducing seed to establish winter
legume cover and green manure
crops on cultivated land. 57,929
linear feet of terrace outlet chan-
nels have been constructed and
sodded.
There have been 425 acres of
meadow established for terrace
cutlet protection and permanent
hay. There have been 28.1 acre
feet of water impounded by stock
tanks constructed to meet SCS
specifications. There have been
111.700 trees and shrubs planted
on 90 acres for wildlife food and
cover, and 421,800 seedlings plar‘-
ed on 150 acres for permanent
woods.
There have been 1.963 acre’
fields | cleared of brush and sprouts to
rows i permit sodding and mowing. 2.-
running up and down hill. There i 528 acres of pasture land
were many acres in pasture that. been. ;------ --------
were over-grazed, barren of vege- 1,099 acres, seeded to
tative cover and too bushy and
gullied to mow. There was very
little thought given to food and
cover for wildlife, and very few
acres of woods protected from
grazing and managed for future
tirewood and lumber. Many farms
were not balanced as a farm unit,
and erosion had either rendered
or was threatening to render
76.2 per cent of the land in the
watershed unprofitable for cul-
tivation.
The data that follows show
what has been done by the Soil
Conservation Service to proter*
the land from erosion and ad-
just the conditions cited above.
The area of Hart’s Creek water-
shed is approximately 31.000
acres, and of this 147 farms, com-

WPA CREW PLAYS BAI J.
BOSTON—If a group of WPA
employees had leaned on their I
shovels instead of aping major
league baseball players, Jamies
Plain police would rest a bit
easier. Irritated by the persis-
tent ball playing of a WPA crew,
a woman called police and de-
clared that as long as she was a
taxpayer she did not wish to see
her money go to waste.

PARIS—The French Govern-
