APAN'S INDUSTRY
DEATH FROM SKIES
Heavy Toll Taken by Planes
m Spreading Poison "On
'.Warm Spgs. Reservation
Washington, July 16,
The commerce department said
today available statistics Indi
cated that Japanese industry "Is
slowly deteriorating under the
continual strain of the struggle
in China."
Factors responsible for the
volume decline in output of
Japan's industry during the year
were reported as shortages oi
skilled labor, materials, fuel and
electricity," a press release said.
Heavy industries, - the state
ment added, were handicapped
mostly by lack of materials.
while consumer goods industries
were affected by loss of foreign
markets and restrictions on sales
at home.
Decreased production was in
dicated particularly for cotton,
silk, and rayon textiles, cement
ammonia sulphate, paper . and
sugar.
Output ' of wheat flour in
creased slightly last year and
mining also gained.

The crawling invaders were de

Meeting this years invasion,
two birds with deep throated
roar sifted to the crawling
ground a poison that spells
death as surely as did the sky-
filling thousands of gulls. Day

been winging over the reserva

Two years ago on this ground
mormon crickets coverea - iuu
square miles in a month, cutting
a path 27 miles wide, one norae
branched off , into ine green
wheat fields of Sherman county ;
and became a tumbling, uresis-,
tTble' river of death a mile wide, i
tweeping inexorably onward.
' Tour, years ago they inched
down on Sundance, Wyo., blan
keting that town of 500 persons
at the foot of the Black Hills
until there seemed not a foot of
uncovered ' ground. Forced ; on
ward by those behind, they cov-'
ered the streets and sidewalks,
invaded ' hbuses and left the
town denuded of every blade of
vegetation, , . . .
In 1938 at Kennewick, Wash.,
guards with brooms were -posted
on the Snake River' bridge
to sweep the invaders from Wal
