The Investigations of the geological
survey in 1912 into sources of potash
salts in the United States included a
continuation of deep drilling in Nevada,
begun in 1911; a continuation of the col
lection of samples of rock salt brines
and bitterns and of the study of the
scalt industry of the United States I;
the examination of various dried or part
ly dried lakes, playas, flats or marshes

either been published or is in process of
publication by the survey.

Why Moving Pictures Have Killed Melo-
drama

The July American Magazine contains
q most interesting discussion OF the NOV
ing picture business discussion which
contains many facts and ideas not gem
orally known. Following is an extract:
in the motion picture the actors are
called upon to face, not mere technique,
-hairbreadth escapes and rescues which
the audience know are feigned. but the
actual crisis of life. This is one reason
why the movies have driven off the
stage the oldfashioned melodrama. In
the outdoor scenes they actually do the
things that are shown ON the screen;
they ride the horse, run the automo-
bile, row the boat In bitter winter
weather the actor leaps into the ocean
and drags to shore the drowning hero
inc; or some young girl descends by
rope ladder from the fifth story of a
tenement; or in the battle scene soldiers
fall from their charging horses and lie
on the ground, trusting the other riders
not to trample them. Surely this takes
courage This is not melodrama
in the old sense, not merely aetingt it is
life itself one of those rare crisis that
call out the unusual courage of hero
inc.
do not think for moment, either,
that the inspiration of the audience is
wholly lacking. Not only are there the
trade papers and theatrical journals
which regularly criticize the films, and
praise or damn the actors; but if YOU
were a moving picture fan there are
twenty million fans in this country
alone) YOU would know what fame comes
to the actors. Ask the first department
store girl you meet just who her idol
is. and she will promptly say; Costello
Who is Costello? He is the handsome
man of the Vitagraph Co. : Ask the
office boy here about his favorte comic
actor. Bunny he will say; Bunny,
whose amazing face has penetrated far
Their this wilderness of earth than Pears

an who comes in for days scrubbng
could tell off quickly such names as May

ner, Rose Tapley, Ruth Stonehouse, and

FRAUDULENT "CURES"
FOR CONSUMPTION
Are Reported to Have Profted Their
Promoters not Less Than S5o,ooo,oo0
in the Last Five Years.

Within the last five years, no less
than 500 fraudulent cures" for con
sumption have been tried upon thou
sands of victims in the United States
and the exploiters of these nostrums
than 100000 This is an estimate
made by the national association for
the study and prevention of tuberculosis
in bulletin issued to-day.
The national association estimates
that not less than S20,000000 is invested
in the business of manufacturing and
exploiting fake cures for tuberculosis,
and that the annual income from these
concerns and individuals is $15,0000O0.
About one third of this amount is spent
for advertising, leaving a profit of SlD,-
O00,000,00O a year which is blood
money taken from ignorant consump-
tives.
Three kinds of consumption cure
frauds are distinguished by the associa-
ton, the first being the institute"
fraud, where pseudo hospital or dis
pensary is established and the willy
doctor" or professor" administers
treatments" at so much per head.

order business with great profit. The
second group of cures contains over a
hundred different kinds of drugs and
patent" devices. any OF which may be
purchased at a drug store. Usually the
consumptive is charged from 81 900 to
$4,000 for these and the institute cures"
when he could make them up himself in
exactly the same form for from one to
five cents.
The third group Of "cures" includes
homemade remedies, which certain self
deluded individuals believe will cure
tuberculosis. Among them are such
things as onions, lemons, coal smoke,
pigs blood, alcohol, dog oils, teas of va
rious kinds, and a variety of diets, in
Guiding goats meat, clabbered milk and
a score OF other articles. These are not
usually advertised for profit. but are
usually given publicity in various ways.
The eonsumptive il the most hopeful
individual in existence when the ques
ton a cure is suggested. The nation
al association has stated that no specific
cure for tuberculosis has been discover
ed except the well.tried hygienic -dietie
method Of fresh air, rest and good food

United States bureau of education. The

About Those Headaches.

/ Most OF the so-called nervous head

your headache comes from--if you ar,

strain, are frequent source OF trouble

fore to good looks, as any sort of eye
strain induces wrinkles about the ewes
that are hard TO remove. If yol arc
sure you take care OF your eyes and
there seems to be no other bodily
trouble and still the headaches persist, it
will be we'll to consult an oculist to as
certain whether you require glasses. In
these sensible days, to wear glasses
doesn't mean that you have left the
ranks OF youth, and to some faces glass
es are even becoming than otherwise.
Don't wear them on that account, how
ever.
Many dull persistent headache may
be cured and kept from returning by
attention to the diet and to the con-
dton of the digestive tract, accompanied
by proper exercise out of doors, or at
least before an open window, with a
cold plunge or sponge in the morning,

tumblerful of water with little salt

that their attacks usually come when
the system is run down. If this condi-
ton il the result of overwork or over
taxing the strength in any way, the
remedy is obvious; if not in the hands

place to leave you. If you are going to
try to cure yourself, however, attempt
ii through the tedum of plenty OF
sleep, eating the things which you
know agree with YOU, cold or lukewarm
water baths in the morning, exercise
and deep breathing of fresh air If
you must, perforce, remain in the vi
tiated atmosphere of a street ear or
room for time, give the lungs bath
of fresh air as soon as possible by in
hailing slowly and deeply and exhaling
just as slowly several times. In any
case, do not, / pray you, resort to any
of the many headache cures" with
which the market abounds. They do not
remove the cause; they stupefy the
nerves or depress the heart. and in the
end the effects are anything but pre-
servers of youth or beauty.

PIERCE WIRES IN
COPPER CONDUCTS

"A person little realizes the expense
and Time some manufacturers go 10
in order TO eliminate every possible
chance OF trouble" Is the statement
made by Frank Botterill, manager OF
The Tom Botterill Automobile company.
Take for instance, the wiring Of the
Pierce Arrow. The company uses what
IS called the single wire system-that
is, they use half the usual amount Of
wire and make the chassis do the work
OF the other bali. These wires naturally
have to be strung along the frame. Com
stant vibration would cause wear and
eventually hreakage or short circuit. SO
the Pierce Arrow factory after expert
menting with several different kinds OF
material. now runs all this wire through
copper conduits.
These conduits are very tight fit,
and after they have been bent TO lt the
frame It is impossible 10 change the To-
cation Of the wires in the conduit either
by force or vibra ton.

way that there are electric wires used
In a machine, but when he stops to con-
