LOOK FOR POTASH IN WEST
Laboratory to Be Established at Fall
Ion, New, for Analysis Of Salts.

Washington, Sept. Tone result OF
the trouble with Germany over the
potash contracts has been to redouble
the efforts of the Geological Survey
to find in this country the ingredient
so necessary in fertilizers. Several
parties are now out in the west
though so far no definite encourage
ment has been received.
Information. however, Is considered
definite enough to justify the estab-
lishment OF a laboratory at Fallon'
New, where free analysis of salt sam
pies will be made for any one having
a salt deposit which he thinks Is val
liable. The survey recently found un'
expectedly large deposits OF phosphate
rock In the Northwest and nearly y.
400 900 acres have been surveyed and
withdrawn. Nitrogen and potash are
essential, however, In making com
plete fertilizer" and the search ID
being continued In the hope OF finding
potash In commercial quantities.
The formation OF the arid Western
country is favorable TO the location OF
uch deposits, as the salts are LETT by
the evaporation OF what have been old
sea beds. and to this class OF forma-
ton much OF the arid country belongs

Little Mlss Margaret Moore Had
Narrow Escape

While playing on q bridge over the
sluiceway in the rear OF the H. p.
Bradford company's mill on Main
street Wednesday afternoon, Margar-
ct Moore, the ten year old daughter of
Mrs. Gertrude Moore Of l15 Bradford
place, lost her footing and fell into
the swiftly moving water, which car
ried her toward q deep pond at the
end OF. the run. Before she had reach
ed the end Of the runway her cries
for help attracted the attention Of
Myron Barton, who ran to her assis.
lance and succeeded In removing her
from her dangerous predicament, thus
probably saving her life
The accident which nearly resulted
fatally occurred about 4:30 o'clock,
just after the child had returned from
school. She was playing on the
bridge which she had to cross on her
way from school and in some un.
known way lost her balance and fell
into the sluiceway.
The child called for help and had
been carried about 100 feet when she
reached a plank that was fastened
across the top Of the sluiceway. This
the child grabbed arresting her pro
gress. She had held on to the PLANK
for some little time and her grip Oh

taken out by Barton who beard hel
cries.
Aside from being badly scared the
child was uninjured. Barton IL EN-

ing fewer hours of work, is undoubted'
ly responsible for the constantly
diminishing number of white women
who enter domestic service. This is
not true of the negro servant. But.
doubtless, many more negroes now
have homes of their own than used to
be the case. Possibly the diminution
of the supply of white help has been
more rapid than the increase Of negro
help to take its place. Perhaps the
habit of keeping servants has grown
upon us, just as have other extrava-
gances, faster than we think, thus
making greater demand than was for.
merly the case. But, whatever the
cause, the reports from the South are
much alike and all agree that the situ-
alton in regard to domestic help was
never SO bad and that it seems to be
getting worse all the time.

MEASURE SOCIALISM
BY REAL VALUES

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
saw recently a letter in your COL
umns voicing a protest against social
ism and deplortng the fact that club
of collegians had been organised for
its propagation in this city. Your cor
respondent was much exercised over
the possible growth Of this theory and
the subsequent smash of our boasted
institutions" AS Is usual when at
tacking any new thing, some unkind and
untrue statements were made, and II
is TO speak Of these that I ask space
in your columns.
Why cavil at a theory because 1t Is
imported? Do we on the same grounds,
object to our coffee? Does woolen wear
any the less we'll because It is made in
England? Why not measure things by
their value rather than by their origin
These boasted constitutions" for which
our fathers fought" were for the
most part imported from the very Eng
land with which they fought.
Socialism is a political and economic
theory. AS such II has no more to do
with religion, marriage. or social ethics,
than has the Republican or Democratic
party. To endeavor to connect 1t with
these is evidence of either ignorance OF
what socialism is or a desire to con-
fuse the issue. Impelled to say some
thing about a thing we dislike we are
often led to ridiculous speeches.
AS to conflicts between labor and
capital, one might with as much rea-
tells an eclipse Of influencing the move
ments Of the heavenly bodies as to as
sert that Marx brought about the fric-
ton between these. classes which he

carry one when travelling. But II Is not
from any fear of contracting disease. It
Is from the same feeling, usually called
squeamishness. that makes me prefer to
use a clean plate at the table rather
tnan an unwashed one, even though
the person who previously used 1t may
have been entirely above suspicion as
regards cleanliness.
The bubbling fountains on our streets
may be sanitary. but they are not very
inviting. Since ! have seen the negro
children playing about them. rubbing
their hands over the vent and spurt-
ing water upon 1t from their mouths,

germs.
would like to suggest a modification
Of the present practice. Place cups at
all public fountains. but permit those
who wish to use thetr own cups or to
buy a paper cup to do so. Those who
are not squeamish or have no per
can use the public cup. In this way
every one will Be served and no one
will be injured. In this way. too, the
suspicion Of graft in connection with
the sale of paper drinking CUPS will be
avoided. r. s. MOORE.

EFFORTSTC DISCREDlTHOME-
MADE BREAD.

The hearthstone has a new heresy
to combat. President Schulze, of the
National Association of Master Bakers
has been speaking slightingly of the
kind of bread which mother used to
mathematics now, and will continue
to make, unless she starts to work in
bakery. He insists that the staff OF
life, as turned out in the average home
is but a poor crutch at best, and that
the public bakery alone knows how to
make bread that is fit to eat.
This statement is calculated to en-
gender hard feelings, but before it goes
too far it should be borne well in mind
that it is made by the head of the
master bakers. The litigant who quoted
in an English court the well-worn
phrase that the "man who pleads his
own case has a fool for a CLIENT was
met with the smiling reply from the
bench, "Never do you mind, Mr.. Smith
that proverb was made by the law
yers." This sudden assault upon home
made bread does not come from a dis
interested quarter. The Master Bakers
may be only jealous, after all.
If the bakery side of this contention
is sustained comic literature evil be
robbed of large part of its |pabulum,
Fancy a young husband twitting his
wife at breakfast with the remark that
she Satronizes no such baker as his
mother used to trade with! And then
what is to become of the sentimental
conviction that most any kind of cereal
rises better with a little love by way
of leavenr Must this be reduced to
the status of a mere myth invented by
the poets and romancers for the decep-
tion of willing worldH Isn't it hard
enough at best to keep the household
gods duly supplied with oil and wine
and incense without exposing their
feet of clayH
1t is at least a hopeful sign that
the housewives of Chicago, where this
heresy originated, have arisen as one
man to protest that bread baked in the
home oven still has a charm of its
own. 1t has nurtured some great men
and good women in its day, and there
is a body of sound opinion which in
sists that its day has not yet passed

EXAGGERATED DANGER
OF THE DRINKING CUP

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Is It not about time that the super
stition regarding the danger of con-
tamination in public drinking cups was
exploded? The vendors or patent
faucets. bubbling fountains, and paper
drinking cups have surely received suf-
ficient consideration, let US now consid-
er the needs of the plain people.
have been hearing and reading for
years of the dangerous germs that lie
in wait in the public drinking cup, but In
all that time have heard Of only two
cases In which 1t was actually claimed
that disease was contracted in this way.
In one of these cases, at least, the evil
dence as presented in the article by no
means established the guilt Of the de-
fendant beyond a reasonable doubt. This
leaves but one case that has been
brought to my attention in lifetime
Of reading where a disease was con-
tracted by the use Of a public drinking
cup During the same period I have
read at least three cases where q per-
son died from eating beans. Just plain
North American beans. The facts show,
therefore, that beans are three times as
dangerous as drinking cups. However,
I still eat beans.
confess that I never use a public
drinking cup when II can be avoided.
I have my own cup in my desk. and
