PASTOR JUSTIFIES REVOLT OF
COLORADO STRIKERS
Washington, May 2O.-While John
D. Rockefeller waited here to again
testify before the Industrial Relations
Commission, Rev. Eugene S. Gladdis,
a Methodist clergyman, formerly in
charge of the company's sociological
department, denounced the methods
employed by the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Co.
Mr.. Gladdis justified the revolt of
the strikers against military and 9TH
er constitutional authority in Colo
RADIO on the ground that laws for i'm
proVement of the miners conditions
had been ignored and there was no
other way left to seek a remedy.
He charged that officials of the
company were directly responsible
for the strike in that they ignored the
law, dominated the employees in a
brutal manner, fostered saloons, OBJ
structed efforts to improve working
and hygenic conditions and even con-
trolled elections in direct conflict with
state laws.
81 have never seen a situation more
damnable than that" he declared.

MOVING
AND : WATERING
Of LAWN
Federal Experts Say Too Free
quent Clipping Causes Per-
manent Injury.

WASHINGTON u. Go aug:
There Is NO hard and fast rule 70
be followed in connection with now
ing the lawn, but clipping twice 9
week Is not ant to injure 1t. ana will
induce the formation OF good turf,
according to the lawn specialists OF
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture. Too frequent clipping,
however. is drain on the vitality OF
the grass, and frequently results IN
permanent injury.
Remove Clippings.
There is some difference of optn
ion as to whether clippings should
be removed after moving, but In
general their removal is advised. es-
pecially during wet weather, since
II left to lie on the surfaee they arc
conducive to the growth of moIds.
which in turn produce injury to the
turf. on new seedlings, however, or
where the grass is thin. clippings
can frequently be allowed to remain
with benefit.
New seedlings should not be clip
ned closely, and during the hot
weather oflmidsummer and early fall
the mower should be set high for
old and new grass alike. The roller
should be used discreetly. New
grass is FREQUENTLY benefited by
light rolling after the first cutting.
Old sod should be rolled in the
spring to firm the surface that has
been loosened by freezing and sthaW-
ing. but during midseason 1t is very
doubtful if the lawn should be rolled
even lightly, especially where the
soil is of a heavy nature.
Many Mistakes.
There are probably more mistakes
made in connection with the water
ing Of the lawn than IN any other
phase Of it's, management. The
practice of sprinkling as it is almost
universally followed is fundamentals
" wrong, not that the sprinkler does
not furnish enough water to the
grass during the season. but that It
does not furnish It in properly dis
tributed quantities. Sprinkling for
a short period may appear to wet
the sod thoroughly. but In reality the
water does not penetrate much be-
low the surface. This encourages the
formation of surface roots and makes
the grass less resistant to the severe
conditions OF weather and usage.
Except in rare cases. the lawn
should not be watered oftener than
two or three times q week. provided
watering is done properly A thor
.ouRif soaking Is necessary and should
be given in the late afternoon or
early morning. The ordinary type
of revolving spray Is quite satisfac-
tory. but the amount of water applied
by ii Is usually much less than APP
pears. The point to be borne In
mind is that the ground should be
thoroughly saturated at each applt-
cation to at least three inches in
depth.

SALT OUTPUT
FORCES AHEAD
Keeps Pace with the Rapid
Growth of The Population
of This Country.
WASHINGTON, "A

WASHINGTON, Aug. :--A y
salt industry is In some respects
unique among the mineral industries;
Although most Of the metallic ana
of the other nonmetailtc industries
reflect Industrial world conditions
and sometimes sharply huctuate with
them. the salt. industry. presumably
from its intimate association with
the food supply of man. forges slow
" but steadily ahead, generally
keeping pace with the increase In
population. There has been q steady
downward trend In the cost OF this
most necessary commodity. owing to
the abundant sources OF. supply ana
also to the great advances made IN
the last few decades in methods OF
manufacturer The widespread dis
tribution of salt, however. has led to
great multiplication of manutactur-
ing plants. 30 that plant capacity has
greatly outstripped demand. This
has tended to lower prices and to
increase greatly efficiency of opera
ton In the plants that have survived
the keen competition.
The salt production of the United
States in 1914 was the greatest yet
recorded. according to w. G. Phalen.
of the United States Geographical
Survey, namely, 34.304.683 barrels

Compared with the production OF
1918, which was the largest pre-
viously recorded, there was an In
crease in production of 405, 1856 bar
rels and Of $148,219 In value.
The domestic marketed production
of salt In 1914 was "a, s94.683 bar
refs and the Imports were 934s310
barrels, the sum OF the two quantt-
ties being 1915, O02 barrels. This
figure. however, does not represent
the quantity consumed, for there
were exported $50. s18 barrels. leav-
ing for home use 3F.151.1S4 barrels,
an increase Of 14S.485 barrels over
the consumption of 1913. The Inn
ports declined III .147 barrels. COM
pared with 1913, but the exports In
creased 1878 barrels. The Inn
ported salt constituted only 81 per
cent of the domestic consumption.
Salt occurs naturally in two dis
tfnct ways, as rock salt In beds or
associated with bedded or sedimen-
tary rocks, and In the. form OF natural
brines or bitterns. It is prepared
for market by simply mining. crush
ing and cleaning the rock salt, or by
evaporation. which may be either
natural, as when the suns heat is
utilized, or artificial. when steam or
direct heat is applied.
