LAND WATERSPOUTS TRICKS PUZZLE BEST EXPERTS

SHEZLBOURNE, Ont., Aug. 17.- (UPJ-Farmcrs here are discussing the "land waterspout‘ which ltcuck the John Sanderson farm.

The storm started out; like a regu- lar western “twister? witnesses said, but the dipping, whirling spout, coming from an almost clear sky, tilled a dry ditch with water. Then it crossed an oat field, flattening the crop "like a giant steamroller." Fin- ally, flooding one part of a. back yard with water, it stripped one flower bed of all vegetation without injuring adjoining beds.

. The water was believed to have been picked up by a small cyclone from Georgian Bay, or sucked up from a near-by stream.

CHINESE ENTER PROTEST AGAINST COOLIE CONSCRIPTS

PEIPING, Aug. 17.-(U.P.; — An appeal to General Chiang Kaislick has been made by the Rclici Assoc- iation of Honan province against the practice of conscrlpting coolics for work with armies.

This practice has bet/n universal in China in recent years, and has worked great hardships on the coulic class, who are removed forcibly from their homes and sent to distant pro- vinces.

The petition to General Chiang says that oflicials at Chengchow, l-lonan, were ordered to send 2,000 laborers to Klangsl to assist in the warfare against Communists, and that 1,000 were seized in the streets and shipped off.

The association declares that the coolies were shipped to Hankow in closed iron freight cars, to prevent their escape, and that many nicd of the heat. “Not even dumb animals should be treated in such a man- ner," says the petition.

Washington “Letter on ‘lhomu r. sour. onus

Stat! Correspondent)

WASHINGTON, Aug. l'I.—(U.P.) —'I‘hs ‘bomplcts latter writer’ Ior government oillcisls should be s big book with only one sentence written across each page, and that inmdlnklndlsflmboldohnr- actors: '

"It you must write a letior, write it so timt it cw. be rug irom the housetops."

m it seems that ‘sooner or lntsr most letters from government oi- iicials are doomed to be published and then it is too late tor the Wflifll‘. Hi3 up; _, IDDOBCDE words msy take on s. dliiarent meaning when lined up in the col- umns oi’ a wws-pc, . Or their real meaning may become much more significant.

But despite all the trouble that letters can cause, lovers and gov- ernment ofllcials still continue to write the sort that bring difficul- ties.

Every year iurnishts abundant proof oi this tact.

' 7 1.-

To the “complete letter writer" for government ofllcials might be added one other line: '

“Be especially ca ful in writing to congressme ."

Washington recently was treated to one oi those incidents that arise from time to time, involving the us- ual triangle o! a cabinet officer, a letter and a congressman. Now the whole country knows that Secretary 0t Commerce Lamont wrote a. letter to Rep. Francis Oondon, dent, RJL, in which Lamont was interpreted as recognizing the inevitability oi wage cuts by saying that some industries were in such position that they either had to cut wages temporarily, or shut down.

The wage cut question is s. dell- cate one with the administration which has used its influence in pub- Iic pronouncements to hold reduc- tions to a minimum. So naturally the letter caused quite a tum;- and immediately brought denials that the administration had changed its policy. But no one publicly ever undertook to say what Lamont really meant. He seemed to mean Just what everybody read into his lcttor. ' v

This was another one oi these let- ters that is made public by a con- gressman. Condon lets the cat out of the bag and how it did trawl, with sinister screechings, about the capital ior a. day or two. Lamont

Another Letter

oi the nomination oi Judge John J. Parker, oi North Carolina as an as- sociato Justice o! the Supreme Court. Assistant Secretary Joseph M. Dix- on wrote to President Hoover that the appointment would be a good thing politically in the south.

This letter somehow got in the file of correspondence on the Par- ker nomination that was sent to the senate judiciary committee, and that turned out to be quite unfor- tunate.

Veteran attaches oi the govern- ment usually are careful to pass the word, when they can, to lncomint ofllcials about the difference i‘ writing a letter as c governmz, ofllcial and as a private citizen, t in private business. But despite th.. cautiomeve: so often the mistake is made, and there is‘ resultant squirming, explaining and regret and occasionally the retirement oi the letter writer irom the govern- ment service.

CHINESE BHOPKEEPEII LAYS CLAIM TO FIVE SAGES

SHANGHAI, Aug. 17.—(U.P.)-A

‘ Chinese scholars have studied his case, and declare that although he

‘can barely rend and write he is nble,

when in s trance, to compose poetry in the finest classical style. He also is able to speak several dialects in the purest classical , they declars.

Some neighbors came ‘to ask his advice about how to repair an anci- ent temple dedicated to a f scholar. The shopkeeper went into

a. trance and was heard speaking a dialect which he does not know,

When he awoke, he said the sage himseli, dead for live centuries. had spoken through him, and said, "I understand now that burning in- cense before my image is useless so I advise my worshippers to let the temple fall to pieces."
