The logical result is the lowering of
wages to the minimum and the en-
ployment Of women in place Of men
where the former can do the work re-
quired. Another result is the deterio-
ration Of the race owing to the hard
SHIPS endured by the mothers during
the time they should be most carefully
nurtured.
All the Dreadnsughts that can be
built and 1oated from now until
doomsday viii not be sufficient TO pro-
tect Great Britain unless the future
generations Of men are capable OF
standing behind the guns. one fea-
ture Of the employment of women is
observed in the demand for the ballot
and the ferceness of the struggle being
made by the militant suffra gettes for a
share I'm the conduct of government
affairs. Perhaps when that object is
attained. as it seems likely TO be. some
means will be discovered to remedy tbs
existing condition of things and the

tions for which they are unified by
nature

much more than in recent years. So
Great Salt lake cannot be used by Pro
fessor Lowell TO point a moral or adora
a tale
The professor is probably unduly
alarmed owing to the prohib ton prop
uganda and the number Of localities
which have gone dry in the last de-
cade. and his theory that the earth is
drying is caused by fear that if we all
get on the water wagon the supply viii
run short. Again. the professor may
have been employed by the brewers
and liquor interests to throw a scare
into the voters 20 the end that the
aqua pura may be conserved and the
various handmade drinkables allowed
to be used IN the capacity Of substitute
for the only liquid that really quenehes
thirst. Now that the hot summer
months are approaching. however. it is
certain that the words of the professor
viii have great weight and that uany
a man viii blow the foam off the top
Of a hagon OF some special brew with
the idea in view Of doing what he can
to make the water supply hold out as
long as possible. Conservation Of the
natural resources IS regarded as OF the
highest Importance at the present
time
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1909-04-07
..MORETON FREWEN
is THE EARTH DRYING UP7

Professor Pereival Lowell asserts
that water is becoming daily more
scarce. and one Of the things which
planetoIogy foresees is the relative
drying up Of the earth" He offers in
proof Of his theory that there is an
eternal period of drouth ahead of Us,
the alleged fact that the moon and
Mars bear marks Of having had seas.
Coming down from the realms of space.
the professor makes the following OBJ
servations.
The spread of deserts on earth even
within historic times is noticeable. The
same shrinkage is at work in the sea.
Bodies of water have been cut off, and
we can tell that Salt lake, for instance,
is drying. This gradual Withdrawing
of the water seems unpleasant. But it
holds out the hope that some day there
viii be no more sea.
From the earliest times to the
present the earth has grown a steadily
better place for us to live in II its
future seems a thought less attractive.
We at least shall not be there to see it
II is true that there are deserts which
bear evidence of having once been
covered with water but it is also true
that the high plains and even the
