Stockholm, Aug. S.-The tie-up Of

so serious that King Gustav has in

conference has not yet transpired but
apparently his majesty's efforts for
peaceful solution of the trouble were
without result. for tonight 1t was
announced that the printers would
strike tomorrow and a national labor
conferee stated that by tomorrow
every dray or other wagon whose
driver not wearing an union permit
badge would be stopped by the strik-

Dillon.-George r. Featherly, who
has been taking a lead in trying to
induce the farmers of this valley to
purchase the Lima dam and reservoir
from the Chicago capitalists owning
the property, states that he has not
yet given up hope of having the deal
made.
IF that reservoir is sold to power
company" says Mr.. Featherly, that
will end development in this part OF
the state along irrigation and reclaim
alton lines. for not another reservoir
site exists where water may be stored
to irrigate the benches in this valley.
While the owners and the ranchers
may differ very much as TO the value
of the property, at the same time |
believe the owners are willing to sell
to the ranchers at a reasonable profit,
and the ranchers should not deny
their privileges to ask that profit.

for the ranchers to buy If they want

Laughter a Series Of Banks.

Laughing is barking, say the sci.
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while a series of short
barks are emitted from the throat.
However musical the banks may be,
they are banks. The laugh begins
with sudden and violent contraction
of the muscles of the chest and abb
domen. But instead of opening to let
the air pass out of the lungs, the vocal
cords approach each other and hold 1t
back. But they are not strong enough
to exercise such opposition for more
than an instant, and the air, which is
under pressure, promptly escapes. As
1t does SO it makes the vocal cords vi.
brate producing the bark.
This obstruction and liberation of
the air expelled from the lungs repeats
itself again and again at intervals of a
quarter of second. There are thus
In hearty laugh four banks a second,
and II continued, they 60 on at that
rate as long as the air reserve In the
lungs holds out. The empty lungs
must then fill themselves. and this in.
terval is marked by a quick gasp for
breath, after which the banks are re.
newed. The banks occur In series
with gasps for breath at intervals.
When laughter is violent. the entire
body participates. The upper part of
the trunk bends and straightens itself
alternately or sways to right and left.
The feet stamp ON the floor, while tho
hands are pressed upon the loins to
moderate the painful spasm.
