SPEAKING WHAT ONE THINKS

morrow thinks in hard words again. I"
To the visionary and the recluse
this may be easy, but those of us
who live close to our kind, who take
color from them, who can never dc
anything without being conscious Of
an effect upon them which reacts in
turn upon us-such vacillating and
feeble chameleon folk as these love
to run to the cover of the ANONYMOUS.
They wrap themselves snugly in

Ideas come to them with a rush.
They have so much to say, now that

ACCOUNTING FOR SALT LAKE
Fact That WelI-Known Body OF Water
Has No Outlet Is Reason
Why II Is Saline.

Great Salt Lake has no outlet.
Jordan river, which enters it from
the south, is the outlet of Utah lake.
Bear river, coming from the north,
carries the outflow from Bear lake.
The waters Of Utah and Bear lakes
and of Jordan and Bear river are
fresh, and so is the water of Weber
river, the third great tributary of
Great Salt lake, but the lake into
which the three rivers flow is saline.
1t is saline because it has no outlet
The fresh waters of the rivers con-
tain some saline matter, but the
quantity is too small to be discovered
by taste.
As stated by the chemist, in parts
per million, the quantity seems mi
mute, but when account is taken of
the total volume of water brought by
the streams to the lake in year their
burden of saline matter is found to
be really great, amounting annually
to more than five hundred thousand
tons.
Year by year and century by CEN
fury the water which they pour into
the lake is evaporated, but the dis
solved solids cannot escape in that
way and therefore remain.
They have accumulated until the
lake water is approximately satu-
Yated. holding nearly as much min
eral matter as it can retain in solu-
ton. The lake contains over five
billion tons of common salt and nine
hundred million tons of Glauber
salt (sodium sulphate) as well as
other mineral matter.

USERS OF TOBACCO cENsURED

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, May Is
The Methodist general conference re.
fused today by vote OF 435 to 800 to
remove from the discipline Of the
church the clause which provides the
penalty OF expulsion for church mem
bers who play cards, dance and at
tend the theater.
More stringent regulations regard
ing the remarriage by Methodist
ministers OF divorced persons are
provided in a report submitted by the
committee on the state Of the church.
The church has never recognized any
cause for divorce except adultery and
has always forbidden remarriage in
any case where a divorced wife or
husband is living. BY the proposed
change a minister who performs such
a marriage ceremony is guilty OF NAL
administration and is to be held an
swerable 10 his conference.
The total abstinence by Methodist
church members from the use of to-
bacco is urged in another report,

Under this falls a chiffon skirt of a

quite the fashion to mingle pinks, fire

and ate grain from the fields and
barns. A very few farmers stated that
the pigeons were beneficial to the
farms and ate many weed seeds. The
number Of pigeons in farm sections
not kept confined was reported to be
diminishing greatly as the country be-
came more thickly settled
Other varieties of pigeons men
toned, in addition to those reported
from the large pigeon farms, were the
Runt and the common pigeon. A few
breeders separated the sexes during
the molting period; that is, during late
summer and early fall. Slightly more
than one-half allowed their pigeons
free range. Barley, rye, sorghum seed.
and prepared mixed pigeon feeds were
additional feeds mentioned. Most
farmers who did not keep their pi-
geons confined fed only grains which
they raised, such as corn. wheat and
oats. Twelve per cent mixed fine salt
with grit and oyster shell, and per
cent fed the salt dissolved In the
drinking water. Oyster shell and grit
were supplied by most breeders. A
few used special tOnics during the
molting period. Only 33 per cent re-
ported the use of tobacco stems or
leaves. as against so per cent among
the larger breeders.
The diseases most frequently men
toned were canker, going light. and
roup. The principal method of treat
ment was prevention; by keeping ev-
everything clean, using dislnfectants
freely, and killing sick or diseased
pigeons. Remedies mentioned for pre-
venting sickness were the use of kero-
sene oil, permanganate of potash, lime,
copper sulphate, carbolic acid, quassia
chips, epson salts, venetian red, tine
ture of gentian, or tonic in the drink
ing water. Dry sulphur and diluted
peroxide of hydrogen were used in
treating canker, and kerosene oil for
roup. A few allowed diseased pigeons
their freedom when they had been
kept confined. About one-fourth re-
ported some loss from rats but most
of the larger breeders made their pens
rat-proof. Losses from hawks and cats
were reported in some cases where the
pigeons were allowed their freedom.
The average yearly profit from each
pair of breeders varied from 20 cents
to $3.50. and averaged 1929. The
profit from breeders who sold stock
largely for breeding purposes varied
from $40 to $40 per pair. The average
yearly feed cost per pair varied from
40 cents to $4, and averaged $1.32.
Fifty-f1ve per cent sold squads for mar
ket only, 80 per cent both for market
and as breeders, and IL per cent for
breeders only. The number OF
SQUADS marketed from each pair OF
breeders varied from 5 to %, and nv
eraged 1873; the weight per dozen
SQUADS varied from tc IS pounds, and
averaged 1O.1 pounds. Squads were
marketed at from 3 to weeks; the
average being AZ weeks. The aver
age price for the year received per
dozen SQUADS varied from 60 cents to
Sc and averaged $3.01.

LEGS AND LIVER OF CHICKEN
Make Hens Scratch for Their Food,
Advises Poultry Expert-Fat
Fowls Make Records.

There is a correlation between the
legs and the liver Of a chicken. Liver
activity is absolutely necessary for
egg production. so make the hens
scratch for their food. is the advice OF
N. L. Harris, superintendent of poul-
try, Kansas State Agricultural college.
"All grains should be fed in deep
litter" says Mr. Harris. "Oat straw
or alfalfa hay is good for this purpose.
Hens should be fed literally but should
not be fed until they are willing to
work for their food"
There is an old-time fallacy that
aen can become too fat to lay. Ex-
periments have been carried on to de-
tprmine the laying ability Of fat and
lean hens, and in every instance the
fat hens have outlaid the lean ones.
The egg begins its formation. with the
yolk, which is practically all fat, and
SO it IS absolutely essential that hen
have excess fat before eggs are
formed A hen does not cease laying

FriIIs and Puffines Will Quickly Con-
vert the Simple Elbow cape
into a Furbelow.

TO make a pelerine is no difficult
matter, especially if the silk chosen is
soft and bright. Pussy willow and
sOiree are perhaps the best. but they
are rather expensive and great many
of the imported capes are of taffeta,
which, with modelling, achieves most
bewitehing effects.
The simplest little cape is the circu-
lar one corded three times around the
shoulders, yoke fashion. and trimmed
with double box-plaited ruching or a
] pinked ruffle. but puffs. ribbons and
laces may be added and an ostrich col
lar makes q pretty neck trimming.
Those being worn most in Paris are
of light color, although it is said that
black ones will increase in popularity
as the season Of thin dresses advances.
Gray shot with pink or turquoise. beige
with nile green or brown with rose are
lovely combinations. and they tone up
