DUST CLOUDS
FADING OVER
NORTHTEXAS
Fresh Winds Bring
Relief From Day
And Night of Big
Sand Storm
iBy The Afc*oc»ted Prt
Texas set about to clean its grimy
face Friday as the season's most de
vastating duster gradually disappear
ed in south Texas and the lower Rio
Grande Valley.
Clear, cold weather supplanted the
duster In north and west Texas and
the pranks of nature continued as
residents reached for topcoats in
some sectors.
The sun. loser in a two-day tussle
with choking sill, beamed again in
most sections. However, light drizzles
wen reported in the Rio Grande
Valley.
Only remnants of the duster re
mained a; Austin and the pall was
lifting quickly and floating south
ward Han Antonio reported the can
cellation of air trailic as the flying
particles stubbornly remained in the
territory. Visibility was still limited
- to one halt mile.
Brow n viile welcomed a light driz
zle which sifted through a mild
haze. A northerly wind gave promise
of mure rain and continued dust.
McAllen's first duster was felt but
light showers aided in hastening its
departure. A yellowish haze remain
ed Friday, however.
From the stricken west Texas
plains and Panhandle came reports
of the disappearance of the scourge.
San Angelo said a light norther ap
peared and the dust was -practically'*
gone The weather was zippy at Abi
lene and not a particle of dust was
in sight expect on floors and furni
ture.
A chill norther dreve the dust away
at Wichita Falls. The temperature
skidded to 42 degrees and skies were
clear. Early truck crops were severe
ly hit by the duster and grain In the
Wichita Falls vicinity was damaged
an estimated 33 per cent.
a brilliant sun and chill winds
was the dish served up for Fort
Worth and Dallas. The weather was
cold and clear at Corsicana and dust
was settling tepidly.
In east Texas the sky cleared and
Longview, Sherman and Tyler re
ported brisk, chilly winds.
Clear weather again prevailed tn
the dust-swept region near Shreve
port. La., and flying at Barksdale
field, army airport, was resumed.
Dust clouds were fading at Corpus
Christ! after the first visit of the
silt to the coastal city.

Power and Influence.*
“Moses saw the needs of the
people," he said, "and made it hi*
purpose to help them, and was will
ing to sacrifice everything if need
be in order to accomplish that end
These three things, a social vision,
a powerful purpose and a sacriliciai
service, are the secrets that glorify
ones life and bless the world as
we live and serve." The emblematic
colon, of the Young Peoples Divis
ion, white and gold, were in evi
dence in the decorations.

NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. April 12. >/—While
the silver sheen appeared to have
laded to some extent in Friday's fi
nancial markets, a fairly steady to
firm tone prevailed in most cate
gories.
Disappointment was expressed in
speculative circles that the gov
ernment's increase of the domestic
silver rate had not brought out a
strong buying movement in stocks.
But the action of leading equities
apparently was satisfactory to the
market analysts. Silver mining issues
were still in demand and the rails
climbed out of their groove for a
moderate upward flurry. Elsewhere
prices were extremely narrow.
Profit taking halted the forward
movement in wheat and other com
modities were listless. Cotton was
somewhat reactionary. Minor chan
ges were the rule in bond dealings.
Foreign currencies did little.
Although metal shares did not run
away, gains of fractions to around
a point were recorded by U. S.
Smelting. Cerro De Pasco. American
Smelting and Howe Sound. The rail*
got up a point or nr re m a lively
10-mmute splurge. Coca-Cola was a
soft spot with the loss of some 2
points.
A more than seasonal decline in
freight car loadings for the week
ended April 6, was net unexpected.
The total was off 71.858 cars from
the previous week. This was attribut
1 ed largely to a fall in coal shipments
because of fears of labor troubles.
Various carrier stocks seemed to
have attracted attention because of
expectations that the supreme court
will soon hand down a decision on
the constitutionality of the railroad
pension law.
Wall Street sought for explana
tions of the market's indifference to
the silver spun. Some observers ad
vanced the suggestion that the ad
ministration's action on the white
metal far from having an immed
iate inflationary intention, was for
the purpose of heading off currency
expansionists at the capital.
In the meantime the New York
prices for foreign silver imported for
commercial use was advanced 2 s*
cents an ounce to 681? cents, another
new top since 1926 In London the
silver rate was also stepped up to an
equivalent of 68 43 cents an ounce.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW' ORLEANS. April 12.-iAV
Cotton opened from 6 to 8 points
lower Friday and early trading!
held within a narrow range at
these levels.
Trading was act.%c but aside
from the decline at the first call,
there was little pressure on the
market*
May opened 6 points lower at
11.45, while July at 1130. Oct. at |
11.20 and Dec. at 11.28. represented
similar declines.
Liverpool reported a reactionary
market with some profit taking
and selling induced by reports that'
New England mills might be forced j
to close unless the processing tax
was removed. This served to un
settle prices.
The initial losses were extended
as the day wore on and around noon
declines of 9 to 14 points had been
shown by active positions.
May dipped to 11.39, July to 11.47.
October to 11.13 and December to
11.21 as light pressure was exerted
against these positions.
The lower price movements Fri
day were considered to be a typical
reaction to Thursday s spirited ad
vance that carried some positions up
os much as 82 a bale.
The report on spinners takings as
issued by the exchange showed a
sizeable advance during the past
week.

American Acquitted of Spy
Charges by German Court
BERLIN. April 12. ^—Rich
ard Roiderer, pale, nervous nat
uralized American linguist, shout
ed his opposition to war and dic
tatorship* Friday and was ac
quitted of espionage charges by
five stem-faced nazl Judges of
the peoples' court.
The session, open to the pub
lic, lasted five hours and 20 min
utes. and the judges deliberated
for another 45 minutes. The
warrant against the former
Cleveland and Chicago man was
quashed and the state was or
dered to bear the costs of the
proceedings.
Roiderer. who spent nine
months in a Munich Jail before he
was transferred to Berlin for
trial, was a pathetic figure. He
was red-eyed and pale and his
face was deeply lined and pallid.
His nose was scarred from a fall.
Rotderer smiled when the ver
dict was read. He nodded con
tinuously as court President
Sprlngmann gave his opinion
from notes, reading for ten min
utes.
The language teacher had been
specifically charged with taking
notes on nazi military matters,
damaging to the reich. The Judges
held that the prosecutor had not
proved that Rotderer sent the
damaging material out of the
country, but that they still enter
tained strong suspicion against
him.

TUBERCULOSIS
CURE CLAIMED
Artificial Fever Kills Germs
In Animals; To Try
Humans
DETROIT. April 12. —<AV- An
artificial fever cure for tubercu
losis, which lias succeeded on 50
per cent of the monkeys and other
animals given the new treatment
was described Friday at the meet
ing of the Federation of American
Societies of Experimental Biology.
The animals all had the human
form of tuberculosis, which was
given to them by inoculation. The
results were so favorable that It
is now planned to try the treat
ment on human beings, and start
already has been made.
The report was made by R. C.
Major and H. P. Doub of the
Henry’ Ford hospital. De^oit
The fever was ghen there in an
air-conditioned chamber designed
by Cl aries F Kettering, automobile
scientist.
Unlike most of the new apparatus
for raising body temperature to
fever height, this Kettering cham
ber uses no radio waves. It causes
the fever by sir heated electrically
to temperature* of 160 to 170 de
grees In a humidity of 35 to 50 de
grees. The animals stand this ex
cessive heat without too much dis
comfort and apparently human be
lli s are capable of doing likewise.
The heat raises the body temper
atures of the animals to fever*
ranging from 106 to 107 degree*.
Heat treatment last four to five
hours. The treatments are well
spaced and the greater number giv
en so far have been | If a dozen
.-pread over a period of uiree months
The animals all had acute tuber
culosis of the lungs and some of
them were in or near the last stages
About half of them recovered and
x-rays and other clinical signs in
dicate that their cure is complete.
