Ancient History OF the Gulf of
Mexico.

Mexico.
Most people know in general
way that large portions of the Unit-
ed States have in the past have
been covered by the ocean, but it is
perhaps not so generally known
that the continent is now rising in
some places and sinking in others.
There is every reason to believe
that minor movements of the land
are constantly taking place. Not
very long ago, in a geologic sense,
the Hudson River flowed through a
deep canyon or gorge at New York
City. Soundings show that this
gorge extends through the harbor
and far out to sea. 1t is evident
that the land surface has been low
cred in this region, allowing the
ocean to creep in on the land, fill
the old river channel, and in places
wholly submerge it. The submerg-
ence of the land was greater at one
time than it is now In eXcava.
tons for some of the New York
skyscrapers remains of oysters and
other saltwater animals have been
found. AS rule the only availa-
bic knowledge in regard tothe form
er submergence of an area is de.
rived from the marine shells and
other animals found in deposits
laid down by the sea. By the nat
ure of the fossils biologists are able
to tell approximately when the
ocean invaded the land. They have
found evidence of a submergence of
much greater magnitude and much
older than that which now floods
the Hudson Valley. Gothamites
and others need not, however, feel
alarmed at this statement of the
ups and downs of the continent. for
while geologically this submergence
is not so very old, the geologist
thinks and speaks in terms of |
thousands if not millions of years.
Along the Atlantic coast from
New Jersey southwark, it is not I'M
usual to find quantities of sharks
teeth and other marine fossils in
the gree sands that are now
located far inland and are used for
fertilizers. In certain sections of
the Mississippi Valley where lime
stone is not readily accessible
farmer will 60 out and gather
wagon load of fossil oyster shells to
burn for lime. The shark bearing
rocks of New Jersey and the oyster
beds of Tennessee are of the same
general age and represent one of
the later of the great invasions of
the ocean on the North American
In geologic parlance
these rocks are said to be of Gre
taceous age.
In the course of it's investiga-
lions of the geology of the country
the United States Geological Survey
has been making a study of the
Cretaceous deposits of the Eastern
States and has found that the ocean

In fact, they need it all the

For dyspeptics hot water is often
best.
A glass of water should be taken
a half hour before breakfast.
Two and three glasses should be
taken slowly between meals.
Unless one eats directly before
retiring water should be taken
then.
All water should be taken a

The Dress of
a Business Woman

hRESS to the business woman is
- very important.
For while the most tasteful costum-
ing can not make a good business
woman dressing in bad taste can go
great way toward destroying the eff
cheney of the best office
The greater part of the business
woman S life is spent in business clothes
then why not make them something
of a study, since it is desirable to be as
attractive as pOsslbleY
The basis of the business woman's
wardrobe should be a rather plain tai
tornado suit, of good material, made
in a way TO conform to the general and
best features of the prevailing style
and yet to bring out the best lines IN
her own particular figure. While tins
is not the simplest matter in the world,
every woman can, by thinking out the
problem as she would any other ques-
ton coming up in her business, deter
mine it in a manner to make the most
Of her individuality.
Good material in this suit is sine
qua non. A cheap cloth muses. and
wrinkles and after a few weeks looks
like an old garment, while good cloth
is worth in lasting qualities and SUI
perior appearance many times the diff
ference in price.
One good, first-class suit Of this kind
is worth two or three fimsy dresses,
and there is always something about
the trim, talor-made woman that com
mands the respect and admiration of
her co-laborers of the opposite sex.

Here Is What One Won1-
an Says About WooLtex
WOOLTEX AS FIRST AID
BY HELEN WALSWORTH LESTER

o HAVE the train hours late and to be obliged to
hurry straight from the station to fashionable
tea-wth chance of getting at TRUNKS test of
woman's serenity.
The tea in my honor, and there was in travel
ing garb. But was quite serene because wear
ing Wooltex suit. Spite of my trip half the
continent it had kept its look of quiet elegance Every
line shapely when | started and good
brushing made me quite content with my appearance
AS slipped into my place beside my hostess, she
gave me quick, appraising glance, then nodded APP
proval. Inwardly I said, "Bless Wooltex"
Wootex garments have often proved frst-aid to
me- AS a teacher, am forced to 60 direct from my
schooroom to concerts, lectures and teas, and yet
am always suitably dressed in my rreproachable tailor
mades
And it's not only looks. A teacher is expected to
be well dressed at all times and her clothes must stand
exposure to all kinds of weather. wealthy woman
can afford to buy watch just for the beauty of its
case but if she had only teachers income, she would
demand guarantee to the inner mechanism.
Wooltex garments certainly troube-savers
too l send my suits to the tailors for occasional
my suits and refuse to out in any reasonable
tme-and they keep their look of good style straight
through.
AS a frst-aid to anemc bank account, Wooltex
garments excel spending less clothes and yet
know am far better dressed than possible before

NITRATE FiELcS OF
CHILE FURNISHING
WORLDS EXPLOSIVES.
yyo.So::,.so.S:e,o.t.Y. 900:

Where is all the raw material com
Ing from for the vast amount OF pow
der that will be needed in the great
European war? That is a question
that South America can answer, &C
cording to a news note in the July
number of the Monthly Bulletin of the
Pan American Union, Washington,
u. c.
Strange to say, the one country in
the world which in times of peace sup
plies the greatest agent 70 increase the
productiveness of the earth, will now
be called upon for identicaly the same
agent to supply the means Of destruc-
ton. That country is the republic OF
Chile, and the product which has now
assumed such tremendous importance
is the mira; e OF soda which it supplies
to the world The nitrate fields of
Chile form a wonderful asset in the
national economy. and this news note
states that the government will sell at
public auction, on Aug. 10. in the city
lof Santiago. certain lands located in the
province of Tarapaca. thus opening up
I for development additional areas con-
tanning this remarkable product.
/ The greatest use in recent years Of
4
blades Of grass grow where -
grew before and in this capacity 1t
has been a Guessing TO humanity. The
use of nitrate OF soda as fertinZer,
tho very general now, has been known
/ 10 our civilization less than century.
: The story goes that an old Scotchman
who lived near the present nitrate
, fields about 1916, spread some soil con-
tanning white crystals over part OF MS
garden. Things planted in this par
/ ticular spot grew wonderfully sam
/ pies of the soil were sent to Scotland
for analysis and the nature of the SUBJ
/ stance and its value as fertilizer was
/ soon esta blished. According TO tradi-
!! ton, however centuries before the
| Spanish conquest. the Incas of Peru
and some of the natives of Bolivia
knew of the fertilizing value of the
white crystals, and are supposed to
have known how to produce them from
the crude material.
Today Chile enjoys practically a
world monopoly in the production OF
nitrate, and it's use is constantly grow
ing. In 1913 the exports reached the
high water mark. Nearly 100000 tons
were shipped from the various ports OF
the country and went to increase the
productiveness Of the, soils OF many
different nations. Incidentally, Chile
derives golden harvest from the pro-
) duct. The revenue derived from the
export duty on nitrate, If equally dis
trihuted among the. inhabitants OF the
country, would give every man, wom-
an, and child not less than $40 annual
ly. This great revenue is being used
to build railroads, improve harbors
foster education, and to build up the
nation generally; and, taking into con-
,, sideration the number of its inhabit.
ants, makes Chile one of the riches
countries in the world.
