There's seemingly a difference of
opinion as to bur clover affecting
bermuda lawns. Some say it injures;
others say it benefits. Roundabout
has been of the belief that the
clover injures bermuda—it appears
to grow so profuse that it chokes
out the grass. One man said “Clo-
ver makes a beautiful yard; it dies
out in May and disappears as soon
— ripens. Leave it atone; it will
not interfere with bermuda, but
will fertilize the ground and make
the bermuda better. The benefit is
1 vastly more than the damage." The
grounds force at the Texas state
College for Women has cut out the
clover and the dandelions; the

naval accord has been sent to Lon-
don and while not published is
understood to express unreserved
approval although appending • a
number of comments to the nature

These notes call attention to the
large tonnage both of submarines
and superannuate! craft allowed to
France. The fear is expressed, tt is
understood, that the proposal will
allow both countries to exceed the
limits of the Washington treaty in
capital ships and thus entail re-
ratification of the treaty to modi-
fied form, which is considered un-
desirable.
Fear la expressed also that if
France and Italy build new capital
ships now it will tend to nullify
hope of reaching an agreement on
abolition of capital ahips at- the
next naval conference in 1936. It
being considered.
The mayor's statement follows:
“Having boon asked many times
why no active steps have been tak-
en to bring about a reduction in
gas rates here. I feel that a state-
ment should be made as to what
has been done to this regard.
"The city administration has not .

the situation here. We found that
the local franchise, granted in 1911.
specified that gas rates should nev- l e
er ba higher than 60 cents per 1,000
cubic feet. In 1930, however, due
to inflated costs at production, the
city commission granted authority
to the gas company to raise the '
rates to 15 cents per 1,000 cuble , I
