By placing metal lids from mayonnaise jars imder each leg, we no longer worry about making holes in our tent floor. Beverly • * * • Right, Bev! Or you can use “Clean tuna or small sliced pineapple cans. Tent floors are exi ' pensive, but I guess you know - that by now! Heloise * • • • Dear Heloise: When company comes for a few days and there are more children than beds, put twin beds together, then turn the mattresses the other way and you have a king-sized bed. For verv small children, turn a double Hollywood bed side- " ways and you have a king size that holds more. You'd be surprised at how many more children get to sleep on a bed than on the floor. ' J.

Tnd than you honey chile for your words of encouragement • • • • Dear Heloise: To keep berries from spoiling too quickly in the refrigerator, place them in a wire strainer.

Serious erosion in plains states The Agriculture Department said today that wind erosion has damaged more than twice as much land in the Great Plains this year as last. A total of 2,432,893 acres were reported damage in 202 counties, compared with 1,156,567 acres in 191 counties a year ago, an increase of 110 per cent. Of the total land damaged in the 10 Great Plains states, 88 per cent was cropland and 10 per cent rangeland.

“The Secretary of War’s annual report had been most premature in its
judgment of post operations, for it said Fort Whipple was no longer needed save as a depot, and that from then on it would be regarded as only a depot garrisoned by a few extra duty men. In January this order took place,” Ray Brandes recalls in. his history, Frontier Military Posts in Arizona (Pub. by Dale Stuart King, Six Shooter
Canyon, Globe, Arizona).
How premature indeed that Secretary of War s appraisal of a military situation became evident a half-year later, in midsummer 1867. Intense activity was necessary by cavalry and foot-slogging soldiers from both Camp Wallen, on Bobocamara Creek, 10 miles west of Tombstone, and Fort Whipple, on Granite Creek, two miles from Prescott. Cochise's warriors were hit-and-run raiding in all directions. Wagon trains to and from the mines were being attacked, looted, burned, their horses stolen. Cattle were stolen from settlers. One band of Chiricahua Apache even jumped the Wallen post herd of about 100 cattle and horses and drove
them off.
The ill-chosen location of Camp Wallen (established 1866) produced much fever that summer. Men actually unfit for duty were sent of necessity in detachments against Co•chise’s bands. “Many desertions began at Fort Whipple,” Mr. Brandes discovered in post records. For example, “On Sept. 13, 1867, five men deserted from Company Eye, 8th Cavalry, and a night earlier, five men of the 14th Infantry had deserted." The campaigns against Cochise’s Chiricahuas were effective only temporarily. Guer-
rilla warfare was to. go on and on intermittently, with scant acknowledgement in reports of the Secretary of War. CLARK KIN \AIR D
Photograph of Cochise, who was described by a white biographer as “Apache chief of the Chiricahua band in Arizona from before 1860 until 1874; noted for his integrity, courage and military skill.” Remarkably, while still fighting settler intruders and soldiers, Cochise made and kept a pact with T. J. Jeffords, who had the mail contract from Silver City to Yuma, to let carriers go through without harm from Chiricahuas.

Airliner crashes
NEW YORK UPI — The Israeli air force achieved an “almost impossible” record dur- j ing the main air thrust of the ^ Mideast war by destroying 402 enemy aircraft in 492 air missions, an eminent military historian said today. Brig. Gen. S.L.A. Marshall Ret. said the 402 planes were destroyed during the Israeli air attack on 11 airfields in Egypt. The 492 sorties flown against these targets, he said, represented a third of the total number flown by the Israelis in the course of the six-day war. Marshall gathered this and other heretofore unpublished information in a series of postwar interviews with Israeli military and civilian leaders. His full findings will be reported in “Swift Sword,” a book to be published early next month by American Heritage
and United Press International. Marshall said there was no basis to widespread belief that Israeli aircraft had achieved the advantage of surprise by sweeping out over the Mediterranean and approaching the Cairo area
from the west.
He said they flew in directly, both over water and the Sinai Peninsula, but kept to altitudes under 100 feet to escape radar detection as they approached targets. They climbed up only at the last moment and generally staged attacks from about
500 feet, he said.
The French-made aircraft used by Israel normally was equipped with rockets. Israel, however, ordered the rockets replaced by 30mm cannon “and it was the cannon that achieved the most destructive results,”
Marshall said.

TANANARIVE, Madagascar UPI—An airliner carrying 75 persons reported to include Madagascar Foreign Minister Albert Sylla crashed on takeoff today at Ivato International Airport. There were unconfirmed reports Sylla, 58, foreign minister of Madagascar (the Malagasy Republic) for almost seven years, was killed. Airport officials said there were “numerous victims” of the crash but gave no immediate details. The plane crashed shortly after dawn at the start of what was to have been a flight from
Tananarive to Diego Suarez on the northern coast of this African island nation. The plane was a two-engine DC4 of the Air Madagascar. Witnesses said the airliner left the runway in normal fashion. But they said after it began climbing the plane plunged to earth and broke in half.
Horticultural Tips
Progagatin Iris: When plants become crowded, divide the offshoots from the rhizomes. They should be divided every 3-4 years after planting. To do this lift the whole group, then wash away the soil with a steady stream of water. Divide by cutting off the newer parts of the rhizomes with a sharp knife. Each division must have at least one growing point (or fan of leaves), a few inches of healthy rhizomes, and a number of well-developed roots. Be on the alert for iris borer. Cut the leaves back one-third their full height, then plant. Before Planting, spade the soil deeply and mix 2 to 3 pounds of 12-12-12 or similar analysis fertilizer for each 100 square feet of garden area. The top of the rhizome should be 1 A” below the surface in light sandy soil, and at the surface in heavy soil. Water after planting. Request HO 76-7.
Second degree murder verdict FRANKLIN, Ind. UPI — A verdict of guilty of second-de-gree murder was returned Tuesday against Phillip M. Brandon, 17, Indianapolis, in the 1965 slaying of Mrs. Oval G. Stephens, 81, in Indianapolis. A Johnson Circuit Court jury deliberated three and one-half hours before finding Brandon guilty of a lesser charge than that on which he was tried. Brandon was charged with first-degree murder. The jury recommended life imprisonment, the mandatory penalty for conviction of nonpremeditated murder. Brandon's trial started a week ago. The case was sent here from Marion County on a change of venue. Mrs. Stephens was found beaten to death in her home Dec. 12, 1965.

2 recalled by Jap Communists TOKYO UPI — The Japan Communist party Tuesday announced the recall from Peking of its only two representatives because they were "exposed to dangers” in what amounted to a break in relations with the Chinese Communist party. The announcement said Kazuyoshi Sunama and Junichi Konno have been instructed to return home. Sunama, a candidate to the Party Central Committee, went to Peking in 1965 at the invitation of the Chinese Commuinst party. Konno was dispatched to the Chinese capital last year as a correspondent for the Japan Communist party has no official representatives in Peking and amounted to a “severance of relations” with the Chinese Communists-
