It is estimated there are from
to 600 horses which have become
bane of cattlemen and sheepmen
because the wild horses consume
much of the forage from the glazing
lands and often run the cattle and
sheep from water holes. In carrying
out the big round-up, the government
will co-operate by lending airplanes,
which will be used to spot the herds,
and with the roaring motors of the
planes stampede the horses toward
cowboys, who will do the rest.
Schools Aided Thru Loans
Of 3300,000,000 by PWA
The Public Works Administration
has loaned 8300,000,000 to finance the
construction of school buildings,
gyms, cafeterias and the like during
the past four years. About 70 per
cent of all school construction has
been financed by Federal funds. More
than 6,300 building projects have
provided 33,718 additional classrooms
which accomodate appoximately a
million and a half school children.
There is a drive on foot at the pres-
ent time, caused by the New London
disaster, to supply loans to all school
districts which are using condemned
buildings to house their pupils—and
there are more than a thousand such
buildings in use.
Odds and Ends From
Around the World
The sun was covered by moon Tues-
day for a period longer than any in
last 12 centuries; only partial eclipse
in portions of U. S.; full eclipse in
Pacific Ocean. . . Rains in the drouth
stricken states caused drop in price
of grain; prospects for wheat crop
good in Northwest. . . Even with a
raise of a thousand dollars a year, the
members of the House of Commons
in England receive only $3,000 com-
pared with $10,000 received by U. S.
Congressmen. , . If the labor unions
should run John L. Lewis for Pres-
ident in 1940, which is entirely with-
in reason, it has be^n predicted that
the Republicans and Democrats will
join to draft Roosevelt for a third
term.
Group Urges Tax on
Childless Parents
Taxes on the childless parents for
the benefit of large families was
urged at a meeting jj>i the Eugenics
Research Association last week. The
birth rate is dropping exceedingly
fast in all classes except the unskilled,
the illiterate and the non-self-sup-
porting, where it remains high. It
has been urged that the enormous in-
crease of useless and degenerate peo-
ple should be lessened, and that taxes
should be lowered for families in or
der to encourage the intelligent,
hard-working people to bring children
into the world.

ULCERS
Many curious stories are told about
how places got their names, none
more odd than a postoffice in Lincoln
county, West Virginia. Inhabitants
made the usual petition for mail ser-
vice and after determining to grant
the request it is said that the Post
Office Department asked what the
office should be called. “Call it what
you please,” was the reply, “only we
want a post office.” And “Wewanta"
it was and it is.

No-Man’s Land in Colorado is a
tract of about 1,200 square miles in
the north central part of the state,
about 50 miles from Denver. Lying
between lands included in the Louis-
iana Purchase and in the Texas Pan-
handle Purchase, it is not part of
either, but was obtained in the ces-
sion of the Ute Indians under the
treaty of March .2, 1868. It was in-
cluded within the boundaries of Col-
orado when that state was admitted
to the Union in 1876. On August 9,
1936, at Breckenridge, Colo., Gov. E.
C. Johnson proclaimed American sov-
