DIRTY BIRDS DISCREDITED.

Elsewhere in this issue appears an
article on the work of the late con-
gress in general. Utah people are,
however, naturally especially inter-
ested in what their representatives
have done towards making the late
congress an histronic one and parulc.
ularly in what they have done for
Utah. Comparing the success of their
efforts in behalf of this state with
those of any other congressional rep
resentatives the state has had, the
work of Senators Smoot and Suther-
land and Congressman Howell stand
out in bold relief. In short they have
got pretty near everything they went
after and they went after good deal.
Take for instance the appropriations
for Utah on the irrigation PROPOSE
tons. They have secured millions of
dollars which will be expended for
the benefit of this state. They have
caused Utah to be recognized as en-
titled to consideration equal to that
of any of the other states in spite OF
the efforts of the knockers we have
Gin our midst" the dirty birds who
foul their own nest. They have been
in complete harmony with President
Roosevelt and the administration.
Their recommendations in regard to
appointments have been in every case
honored, and the dirty birds at home
have been completely discredited
both abroad and at home. -.

THE CHARM OF EFFERvESCENCE

What is there so fascinating about
"fizzing" beverage? Why, says
the Literar y Digest, are the soda
fountains thronged by crowds who
would not touch their product after
the dissolved gas had passed off? The
reason is doubtless partly psychical
but does not seem to have been clear
ly stated. A writer in The Lancet
Uondon, May 26), makes an attempt
at it, and succeeds in raising some in
teresting questions, at least. He notes,
in the first place, that artificially aer-
ated waters are a comparatively mod
ern invention. They were suggested,
no doubt, partly by natural sparkling
waters and partly by effervescent fer
mented liquors. He goes on:
Whatever may have been it's origin,
the discovery of artificially aerated
water, as exemplified in the universal.
ity of soda-water, seltzerwater, and
potash-water, proved to be the begin
ming of an enormous industry, and
millions of dozens of aerated waters
are now made annually, involving the
employment of probably at least $4,000
persons in this country alone. This
fact, coupled with numerous devices
which enable the consumer to prepare
his own soda-water at home, would
seem to indicate that the introduction
of aerated waters filled place in the
requirements of modern life, and the
question arises as to whether the fire.
quent drinking of waters strongly i'm
pregnated with carbonic-acid gas has
any prejudicial effect upon the health.
1t is an interesting feature of the case
that total abstainers formed at one
time the chief patrons of aerated bev-
erages. The pleasant, sharp taste of
| soda-water, lemonade, and so forth
formed an agreeable contrast to the
usual drinks of the teetotaler. The
lemon-squash made with sodarwater
was much more interesting beverage
than still lemonade, and so the min
erals made very acceptable addi-
ton to the beverage of a class of per-
sons whose views we all respect"
But the writer goes further He
asserts that there are scores and scores
of persons who would never have cul
| tivated the taste for whisky unless
they had had the opportunity of mix
ing it with soda water and converting
it into an effervescent beverage. He
says:
Soda water has increased the sale
of whisky enormously. The man who
drinks whisky for the sake of it's flavor
rarely mixes it with aerated water. A
bubbling liquid, endowed, moreover
with stimulating properties, proves to
be singularly attractive beverage
and harder to resist than the non
sparkling fluid. What is this charm OF
effervescence? Champagne would be
miserable stuff without it, and beer
that is not brisk is not only unattrac.
tive but unwholesome. Probably there
are two reasons for it; first of all, car
bonic-acid gas gives piquancy to bev-
erage, a briskness to it, and an ACID
taste; moreover, effervescence implies
freshness, and the eye is pleased with
the continuous succession of tiny bub-
bles upward through the liquid Sec
ondly, there are reasons for believing
that the effervescent properties of a
liquid promote digestion in two ways,
firstly by the carbonic acid acting as

CARRIED HIS OWN WARRANT.

GREAT INCREASE IN RECEIPTS.
Payments on Imports viii Far Ex-
coed Those of Any Year

The records of the Treasury Department
show that tho receipts from customs during
the present fiscal year viii far exceed those
OF any previous year in the history of the
government. Up to today, with fifteen days
OF the fiscal year yet remaining the receipts
aggregate S2s5, 1928 which is nearly a
million dollars in excess of any other full
fiscal year. and the prospect is that by
June 30 the excess over any previous year
will approximate S25, 100000 and exceed
those OF last year by at least Si0OO0:0O0.
The second heaviest year In the history OF
the country was 1901, when the customs re-
ceipts amounted to S2s4 497, 5S1.
The receipts from internal revenue also
show remarkable increase. and the indi-
cations are that on June 30 the receipts
from this source will be nearly $50 900, 900,
or $4,000 900 In excess of last year.

away. The vehicle went over an embank-
ment and the young lady and her escort
went with IL.
Mr.. Harrison escaped injury, but besides
the injury noted Miss Evans suffered from
nervousness and shock and her condition
was such that she was forced to rest be-
fore she could be removed TO the city. She
was taken to a roadhouse and cared for
until after l O'Clock In the morning and
then she was brought 10 the city. Her con-
dition Is not serious.

Rev. R. A. McEachen's Theme.

An interesting paper was by Rev. Roder-
lex A. McEachen of Barton. Ohio. who took
for his theme, THE Apostolate of the I'm
migrant
Father McEachen told many stories il
Illustrative of a wholesale detection from
the faith among later immigrants. After
explaining the difficulties under which a
foreign priest labors In this country
through ignorance of local conditions.
Father McEachen declared that ''the
American priest is fitted for the strife. He
understands the dangers and struggles or
American life; he has been brought up IN
a commercial air. The flower of the work
ia without doubt the mission school The
children become the little apostles that
very often awaken their parents to their
Christian duty by sense of Christian
training. 1t requires an energetic effort TO
gather up the children, and even a more
persevering strife to keep them in attend
ance.
Mrs. Burke. in paper on "Fhe Sunday
School Movement" advised the organiza-
ton of training classes for catechists, and
pointed out the success that has been
achieved by non-Caehoic churches
through such activity. Father Smith of
the Paulists, contributed a paper on The
Literary Propaganda" and Mr.. VIM. f.
Downey of this city explained the workings
OF the Good Samaritan League. Father
Daniel Cunnion of New York. who con-
ducts a mission on the Bowery. told of the
work that Is being accomplished in that
field.
Much regret was expressed in the closing
talks that the missionary conference Is not
a yearly event and furthermore that there
Is no national organization.
The delegates this morning at O'Clock
attended mass In body in the chapel of
the Apostolic Mission House, said by Rev.
Walter Elliott. the dean of the Institution.
II was followed by benediction, and at its
conclusion the delegates separated to take
up their work anew In distant parts OF the
country.
