the author and his associates The
new data concern principally the ge-
ology Of Mexico, Cuba, the Western
States, and Canada.
On account Of the long time requir-
ed for the elaboration Of this great
task, preliminary separate edition
of the geologic map Of the continent
was published over a year ago. The
entire edition of this map, though
obtainable only by purchase and at
a relatively high price, was exhaus-
ted before the appearance Of the ex-
planatory text. An edition has been
printed to accompany the text and
the whole is now obtainable gratis
from the Survey.
For easy and simple reference
from the map to the text and vice
versa, the map is divided, in accor-
dance with the scheme adopted for
the standard international map OF
the world, into rectangular areas for
ming horizontal zones or tiers and
vertical rows, 4 degrees Of latitude
in height and degrees Of longitude
in width, each east west zone or tier
being designated by letter and
each north.south row by a number.
The map is about feet high by 5
feet wide, on scale approximately
so miles to the inch. On it the dis
tribution of the various rock systems
Or formations Is delineated and diff
ferentiated in colors, so far as prac-
ticable, though the scale does not
permit the representation
in radily visible dimension Of geolog-
ic divisions whose outcrop occupies
strips less than 4 miles wide. The
geology of some remote areas Is so
little known that the space on the
map Is either lett blank or colored
for the grand division to which 1t
Is thought the ROCKS probably belong.
On the other hand, the scale obvious
y does not permit the representation
Of nearly all the formations present
in many regions Of the country
where the strata are steeply tilted
Or the geologic history has been
worked out in detail. For these re-
sions the inquirer for detailed or To-
,al photographic information must
consult the original publications cited
md bibliographically listed in the
ext. So also those searching detail.
I'd information regarding the mineral
wealth of an area must go to the
original publications, in particular to
he works dealing in detail with the
mineral resources of the different
parts Of the continent, rather than
with the geologic history and struc-
.ure. AS already stated, this volume
mas been prepared to meet the ur-
gent needs of the professional teach
or and the advanced student in geo.
ogy.

SHE DOES HER
own HOUSEWORK

In the December American Maya
zine appears an article about Mrs.
Frank Amber Pattlson Of Colonia,
New Jersey, who does her own house
work and is one of the most efficient
housekeepers in the land. She has
studied out various time and labor
saving devices which have enabled
her to get along without servants
and still entertain quite extensively
ind enjoy considerable leisure. An
extract from the article follows:
Mrs. Pattison rises at GAS. Her
Homework on the average occupies
about five hours of the day, and all,
even to the most laborious detail, is
accomplished without assistance ev.
en- when entertaining. except in two
instances; a handy man cleans the
cellar and washes the sixty-five out
side windows (she attends to the in
side), and a laundress spends few
hours each month at the washing
machine.
Standardization is an important
principle. AS the best system OF
bookkeeping or the quickest adding
machine is adopted in banks or of.
fees everywhere, so should house
keeping devices and methods be in
vestigated and compared and the
best adopted in every household.
THE time wrested from the old
weary treadmill can be devoted, as
the individual chooses, to social SER
vice. to some earning activity, to
identifying the home or garden to
more intimate companionship with
the children to the development of
that finest Of arts, the creation of
home atmosphere.
"A very important by product is
the increased knowledge of the che
mical composition of foods, of the
laws of mechanics and physics, and
the general broadening of the intel
lect. Such, in brief, is the new gos-
pei.
Mrs. Pattison declares that house
keeping must be raised to its right
full place as an art and science.

ognized. AT present, after a careful
canvas, no graduate of any such
course has been found anywhere in
the country actually employed in do
nestle service and working for wa
ges.
The critical of course can find
mistakes and crudeness in the work
at Colonia. All cannot achieve as

The GEOLOGY OF
OF NORTH AMERICA
Educational Reference Work Issued
BY The Geological
q Survey

1t is now four years since the Uni
ted States Geological Survey publish
ed as a help to teachers and students
OF geography and photography a pa
per by Professors Salisbury and At
wood, of the University Of Chicago,
on "The Interpretation Of Topogra-
phic Maps" The demand for this
publication, which was strictly edu-
cational in character, was so great
that, Notwithstanding two editions
were printed, even the small allot-
ment held for sale is now nearly ex-
hausted. Meanwhile teachers Of ge-
ography in all grades in many parts
of the country have been receiving
most practical aid in their work as
the Geological Survey has issued to-
geographic sheets covering the areas
in the vicinity Of their schools. The
Survey has also recognized the need
of professional men educationally in
terested in the different branches of
geology by the publication of such
works as Clarke's Data Of Geochem-
istry," now in its second edition, and
papers on paleontology and glaciol-
ogy.
The Survey has now issued anoth-
er large work which will be Of es-
pecial value to teachers and advanc-
ed students Of geology. This work,
which concerns biologists more than
geographers and which is printed as
Professional Paper II Of the Survey
is entitled Index to the Stratigra-
ply OF North America by Bailey Will
lis, accompanied by geologic map
Of North America, compiled by the
United States Biological Survey in
cooperation with Geological Survey
Of Canada and the Institute Geologi- |
co de Mexico, under the supervision |
of Bailey Willis and George w.
Stose." AS its title implies this |
large volume, comprising nearly 900
pages, is a description of the strait |
graphic geology of the continent; it |
Is not in any sense textbook in ge- |
ology. The author of this report, |
which is comprehensive in its scope |
and naturally has been very difficult |
of preparation, is a geologist of inter |
national reputation, formerly chief |
geologist of the United States Geo.
logical Survey and now temporarily |
engaged in the organization of sur
veys for the Government of Argen-
tina.
The preparation of this great work |
required the examination of vast |
amount of geologic literature of all |
sorts, published during more than a
score of years and covering Green |
land, British America, Central Amer
lea, and the West Indies as well as |
United States. In it's accomplish |
ment, and particularly in the compil-
alton of the map, Mr.. Willis receiv- |
ed the friendly cooperation of the |
Canadian and Mexican geological sur |
veys, as we'll as of the State geolog-
lists OF our own country. For the |
most part the descriptions of the sew
eral regions or districts are either |
quoted from the original authors or
presented in the form of abstracts. |
Though the work is essentially com
pilation or combination of published
geologic knowledge of the continent |
it contains also much hitherto unpub-
lshed information, contributed by

The Fortnightly Club program for
last Tuesday evening was decided sue
cess, although on account of an unfor-
seen occurrence the program was de-
layed in beginning and this made the
proceedings continue to an unusually
late hour.
A piano duet, by Mrs. Turner and
Mrs. Essley, opened the program and
was so pleasing as to be instantly en-
cored.
Mrs. Pratt read a selection on the
"Club Woman, which contained SO
much of merit and was SO fitting to the
occasion that it proved highly humor-
ous
The next number was an original
poem by Mrs. Fowler. The author
certainly has the poetic instinct, and
the poem was we'll received.
Mrs. Denecke next read a negro dia-
lect selection which was very funny
and served well to display the Iady's
talents as a reader.
The next number on the program was
a song by the club, "Old Black Joe, !"
followed by the debate.
The question was: Resolved, That

Floods Boost Hay

According to reports current among
hay buyers the prices on hay are sub
ject to boosts most any moment, due
to the heavy purchase by the govern
ment of baled hay to protect the Mis-
sissippi levees in the flooded district.
The demand is proving a moneY-maker
for the ranchers and commission men
of the tract. The bales which when
wet make good ballast, are worth more
to the government than even sandbags.

A City Park for Richfeld
All the Conditions FaUOrable to the Creation of a
Beauty Spot of Surprising loneliness

TNHE Irrigation Company very considerably fit
to reserve for future a strip of land about two
hundred feet along the couee just east of town. 1t
has been suggested that this tract be converted into
park which could be made surprisingly beautiful with
but little expense All the conditions favorable such
project have been amply provided for by nature such
the rock with which to fashion attractive rustic seats
abundance of moisture in the soil at all times afford
nourshment for the trees the flowers and the grasses
The beauty Of the tiny waterfalls the miniature cata
racts and the rushing sparkling rapids all there and
the effort and cost to enhance this picuresquey beau
tiful spot would be reduced to the minimum. Until
the trees should arrive that stage of their growth that
would afford sufficient shade and protection from the
sun rays, the park would prove inviting place dur
ing the evening hours and the of the pleasure
seeker choice spot for those seeking respite from wor-
ry and inspiration to the tired brain and over
wrought nerves. Nothing more than good road out
there would be necessary to induce many strolers to
bend their footsteps in that direction The
pany has expressed its willingness permit our towns
people to take charge of the matter and and
maintain public park out where the couee nearly
approaches the town. n o doubt the company will also
help in many other ways to make of the project an as
sured fact after the movement has assumed def
mite and tangible shape.

Senator Boruh Wins at Last
After Valiant Fight Idaho's Peerless Statesman
Succeeds in Getting the House His Measure for
the Election of Senators by Popular Vote

The efforts of Idaho's peerless Sena-
tor to secure action on his measure pro-
viding for an amendment to the CON
stitution to permit the election of
United States senanors by direct vote
of the people, was adopted by the
house Monday by vote of 237 to 80.
The senate had already given its sane
ton to. the resolution All that re-
mains to be done is the formal signing
of the instrument by the president
and the issuance of proclamatio to
the states to signify their wishes on the
proposed change. The danger of ne
gro domination was the cause of the
opposition by southern members, aa
such elections are to be under the su-
pervision of the federal government.
There was not a single Republican
vote cast against the resolution, which
was adopted to the accompaniment of
thunderous applause.
Direct election of senators first was
taken up by congress in 1926. From
time to time attempts have been made
TO make the senate a popular body, and
have its members elected as are the
members of the house Numbers of

sPRINGTIaIE A3TD THE FLY
Now is the Time to Prepare for
Its determination

Spring is here. Already in our midst
the house fly, the dirty fly, the typhoid
and cholera infantum fly. will soon be
swarming in thousands and millions un-
less precautions are taken. The house
fly, which we are taught in our child
hood to treat with kindness, has been
exposed Its habits are filthy; it breeds
in stables and garbage pals and car
ries the filth it revels in and tracks it
over the sugar, the butter and the
beefsteak. 1t paddles it horrid feet,
gummed with the vilest rotten matter,
in the baby's milk. The doctors have
declared war on the house fly. 1t prob
ably dsseminates every disease. 1t is
a nuisance 1t must be exterminated.
1t can be driven out of every city. In
an age of knowledge, screens and
cheap disinfectants there is no excuse
for flies in any household. Now is the
time to clean up. Get rid of breeding
places of flies and you will get rid of
flies JAMES H. WALLIS,

WOULD SUCCEED HIMSELF
w. l.. Clifford a Candidate for
Secretary of State

Secretary of State Clifford has SHE'D
his hat in the arena for the second
time as candidate for reelection to
the Office he now holds. Thus far no
other aspirant for the place has ap-
peared on the scene and, in all ptoba-
biity, Mr.. Clifford will have no opposi-
ton. AS an officer he has made good
and is entitled to denomination. In the
announcement of his candidacy he says:
It It has almost invariably been the Gus
tom in Idaho to grant second term of
Office to all state officials who have
faithfully and efficiently performed the
duties of their Offices. l trust it will
not be regarded as out of place or an
exhibition of egotism if l express the
hope that | have conducted the affairs
of the Office of Secretary of State in a
manner to warrant me in coming be-
fore the people a second time Acting
upon this hope and belief, my name
will be presented to the Republican
voters of the state at the coming nom
mating primaries for denomination for

of the office as all who are familiar
with the facts will testify Having had
many years of similar work bef re TAX
ing charge of this office, have been
able to make the experience so gained
of much value in simplifying and sys-
tematizng the work of the Office A
new system of filing and indexing has
been introduced, which has resulted in
saving much time as well as securing
accuracy and precision. One result of
the new index system has been the dis
covery of delinquent corporation taxes.
During the past two yesrs consider
able sum of these delinquent corpora
tion taxes have been collected and
turned into the state treasury as re-
suit of the new system, and the method
now employed will insure the prompt
collection of these taxes in the future
In short, | believe l can say that
every branch of the department of state
government in my charge is conducted
along modern business lines. If the peo-
pie of Idaho believe this true and see
fit to renominate and reelect me,
need hardly say that | shall be much

A Six-Year Term

Representative Clayton of Alabama,
chairman of the judiciary committee of

May the following resolution as an
amendment of the constitution:
'The executive power shall be vested
in President of the United States of
America. He shall hold his office dur
ing a term of six years and shall be in
eligible to a second term.
The spectre and fear of Caesarism
will thus be forever removed. 1t will
enhance the efficiency of d president as
his acts will not be influenced by the
hope of reelection.
