TEXAS RANGERS FADING FAST Austin, Tax. —(UP) —Texas Rangers, once famous the country over are fast becoming a tmditlon, says Paul E. Fidler, of the staff of the University of Texas Bureau of Municipal Research. “There was a time," he wrote In “Texas Municipalities,” "when one could boost with pride and conviction that one Ranger was sufficient to quell one riot, but our sister states must wonder whetiher such & reputation is merited when notorious criminals can roam the vast areas of the state, robbing, killing und kidnaiping as they go for months on end without being apprehended.” Fidler doesn’t blame the Ranger individually. It’s a change of times. The Ranger method isn't suited to fighting modern crime. “Texas is trying to fight modern criminals with obsolete and outmoded police methods," he said. A central bureau to fight crime is his suggested solution. The Legislature has proposed this in several bills. Fidler finds them all faulty. Instead of a commission, as proposed. he advocates a Safety Chief appointed by the Governor, with control over one force embracing present separate forces. Besides Rangers, motor patrolmen and other state officers, he would place in the bureau state game officers and-, fire marshals. He would give the bureau supervision of firearm sales.

His eye lit on Edith Nash. Thirty minutes later, she was tr. makeup and was working with Sister I Ann in her first motion picture scene. Foor George Barbier. Income tax filing time brought out a secret that will have Hollywood giggling. On® i night recently, the actor was taking his dog for a stroll near his home. A pretty woman stopped to admire the dog. and she and George fell Into conversation. Also Into step, for it seemed she was going his way. Imagine George's surprise a moment later when he felt a gun in hi-s ribs and a feminine but stern voice told him to stick 'em up. He did and his pretty companion took charge of the actor's wallet containing $350 and a letter w ith a check for SIOO. George stopped the check the next morning, but he dreaded to report the robbery of the cash for fear of his pals’ laughter. It was another thing, however, when his lawyer told him he couidn t put the loss on his income tax, unless he reported the incident to the police. George took a deep breath ani made the report. An automobile accident sent Georgia Caine to the receiving hospital and is giving R-K-O's “Hurray for Love" troupe plenty to worry about. The actress swerved to avoid another car and smashed into a tree She suffered an injury to her knee

Manuring the lawn in the fall as a means of protecting it from wini ter injury is an old-fashioned idea I that is fast being discarded. It is ' now known that a mulch is of no value as a protection. Where large lumps of manure have been spread, it may actually ( harm by emothering out the grass I beneath the lumps. While it is ! true that manure contains some j plant food, its content is very low and its results are doubtful, since most of its plant food content is i leached out and te lost in the i water which runs off the frozen soils. Turf authorities agree that the use of manure brings in large quantities of noxious weed seed. Some of these seeds may germinate and start grcwth the first [ year, while others may not germinate for many yeans. Weed in- | festation following application of i manure, therefore, is not a onei year evil but may become prevalent whenever bare spots appear in the lawn or the grass becomes thin. In addition to these disadvantages there is always the danger of disease infection from tetanus (lockjaw) and gae gangrene. Medi-

LUMPS OF MANURE, SPREAD ON A LAWN IN THE FALL AS A MULCH.DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD- — Tq * • : ' tARCSPOTI ! ■ ! .iiiiumi. >.Pi. WHEN THE MULCH IS REMOVED IH THE SPRING BARE SPOTS WILL BE EVIDENT WHERE GRASS HAS SMOTHERED UNDER | LUMPS OF MANURE. » cal scientists know that manure, especially horse manure, harbors the spores of these diseases and certainly the lawn — the chief playground of children — should not be "seeded" with these dreaded organisms. Winter damage to lawns is not caused by freezing, but by poor drainage and the heaving action of frost. Both are easily corrected. Do not allow low spots in a lawn where water stands. Early in the spring a lawn should be rolled with a light roller to compact turf which has been lifted by frost heaving, and place the roots in contact with the soil before they have dried out.
