SPRING RAINS
HOPE REVIVED
IN DUST AREA
Tantalizing Clouds
f Drift by Sections
Where Crops Ruined
By Storms
Ttov AMOCtat ed I
Farmers and stockmen of the
nation's dust bowl looked hopefully
Thursday for a share of the spring
rains which were falling on nearly
all sides of the sector.
Light showers and sprinkles in
vaded scattered parts of the
affected area, but the fall was far
short of the amount needed to set
tle the dust and supply moisture
with which to start spring crops
and revive the grass lands. Over
most of the sector—embracing parts
of Kansas. Oklahoma. Texas. New
Mexico, and Colorado—a dust haze
‘ still lingered along with tantalizing
•louds
; There was hope in showers which
%|pJ1 Wednesday at Scott City. Kas.,
ana Syracuse. Kas., and dust-laden
sprinkles at Dodge City. Kas.. and
’ Beaver. Okla. Early Thursday a
promising storm cloud was moving
down the Arkansas river valley In
Colorado It left both rain and snow
along the upper reaches of the
stream
A heavy fall of snow on the slopes
’ of Pikes Peak relieved an acute
water shortage at Colorado Springs.
From the east showers came near
the affected area. Blackwell. Okla..
had 17 Inches of rain, and there
were showers to the north as far as
Beloit. Kas.
In Morton county. Kansas the
landing order was:
**No rain, no school."
Acting upon the request of par
nts. who feared that school buses
light be stranded in the storms,
chool board* announced schools
ould not be reopened until it
atns. . , . . .
Meanwhile, state and federal of
;cials hurried through a survey of
he stricken areas.
M M Wilson, assistant secretary
>1 agriculture, continued his in
action tour, moving into Okla
loma and Texas after meeting with
oil experts at Garden City. Kas.
Representatives of the five states
rgpmmended a two-phase program,
■lie one—a temporary measure—
wuld extend the Kansas dust bar
ter program across the entire
seeding ground of the dust and
and storms. This plan, now under
i ay in Kansas. Involves the listing

The other—a long-time anti-dust

Dems Believe Huge
Majority Will Push
Security Bill Over
WASHINGTON. April 18 </P>—
Democratic leaders prepared Thurs
day to drive their huge majority
promptly over the divided house
groups which sought to write
drastic changes in the admmistra
tion's social security bill.
So sure were they of success that
the wavs and means committee,
for the time at least, had discard
ed a tentative thought of ottering a
"sop” to would-be liberalizers in
the form of an amendment tn
crML>'ng the federal government’s
contribution toward old-age pen
sions.
The dissenters were generally in
two classes The republicans, who
on the whole thought it inadvis
able to levy the new taxes the bill
calk for; and the widely-separated
groups.
Rep. Monaghan fD-Monti plan
ned to start the voting battle
Thursday bv offering the Town
send plan as an amendment. He
conceded ahead of time that on a
rising vote only 54 to 55 members
would ballot with him and on a
teller vote he needed more than
200. so Townsendites generally
conceded their plan was dead for
this session.
The administration spokesmen
made last-minute surveys, which
showed that their biggest wrorrv
probably would be caused by a wo
man member who is a close friend
of President and Mrs. Roosevelt—
Rep Isabella Greenwav iD-Ariz).
Mrs. Greenwav had drafted an
amendment which would tax all
financial transactions and all gifts
above 1500 two per cent and set
aside 14 per cent of income taxe*
collected at existing rates. Where

Republicans Busily
Preparing to Show
Front in 936 Drive
WASHINGTON. Apnl IS.—{*>>—
With the next presidential conven
tion only about 14 months away,
republican leaders intensified Thurs
day their efforts to prepare their
party for the 1936 campaign.
Conferences aimed at revitalizing
the party and evolving tactics for
the coming contest were planned
at the capitol.
Officers of the republican na
tional committee gathered in New
York to arrange an immediate
drive to raise funds. It was indi
cated the campaign would be ex
tended throughout New York state
and ultimately over the nation if
it proved successful.
William Allen White, the editor
of Emporia. Kas . and former Sen
ator Hnery Allen of Kansas, were
expected to begin a series of pri
vate conferences with members of
congress here during the day.
Senator Capper <R-Kani said
Wednesday that White and Allen
intended to round up the ideas of
republicans in congress regarding
1936 so an understanding of sec
tional v.ewpoinls might be given to
a contemplated rally of middle
western republicans at Kansas
City in the near future.
Other regional meetings of re
publicans have been planned in
New England and on the west coast
Prom all three leaders have as
serted they expect resolutions
which will provide assistance in
framing the new party platform.
Senators Vandenberg of Michi
gan and Dickinson of Iowa, both
of whom have been mentioned as
possible presidential nominees, are
amog those who have been invited

A NATURAL LAXATIVE
YOU CAN GET IT IN THE
RIGHT PROPORTION FORA
CHILD. IN CALIFORNIA SYRUP
OF FIGS (WHICH A DRUGGIST
ALWAYS HAS OH HAND)
ENZYMES ARE A 0(Q AID TO
DIGESTION BUT TOO SMALL
TO SEE' EVEN WITH A MICROSCOPE
Any laxative your youngster takes
is going on a long journey. Through
a system easily upset, even injured,
by cathartics of violent action.
Leaves of senna produce a natural
laxative. No man-made medicines
have ever surpassed its gentle and
helpful action on the bowels.
ft works so nicely for the delicate
system of a child, every mother
should know about elixir of senna,
and how easv it is to obtain, any
where. in a delicious tasting fruity
syrup all children like. California
Syrup of Figs is what you ask for
— at any drug store. A little of this
syrup will relieve a child’s consti
pation overnight and won't upset
a six-month-old baby.
The seer el of safer relief from
constipation is reduced dosage.
If you have a child who has
“bilious spells” which cathartics
help for only a day, try California
Syrup of Figs. Get the real Cali
fornia brand. Give him gradually
reduced doses, till the bowels are
moving regularly without any help.
The action of a liquid laxative like
Syrup of Figs can be regulated,
because you can regulate the dose.
That’s w'hy doctors approve thia
form of help. And wny mother*
who once try it simply refuse to
five their children anything else.
Iruggists say that the sale of this
natural laxative is increasing by
leaps and bounds.
It isn't strange that many
mothers say California Syrup of
Figs helps sluggish boys end girls
like nothing else under the sun*
