THE BAD PERIsHEs AND THE
GOOD SURVIVES IN GRIFFITH'S
~BIRTH OF A NATION.

That our glorious nation is founded
on right and justice and will, there
fore. always endure, to embody to a
world the soul and conscience Of the
earth, cannot be more forcibly dem
onstrated than in D. W. Grifith's i'm
mense pictorial production. "The Birth
Of Nation"
In it "stoneman." the professed
NEGRO lover" and father Of the-car-
petbag rule in the South, would wreck
and devastate mighty section, but his
wild political schemes miscarry and
boomerang upon his lucklsss head.
Lynch, the mulatto. drunk with wine
and sudden power, traitor both to
bis own and to the white race,
dreamed of black empire and a lily
white empress as his own, but his
devilish ambitions were founded upon
stinking mud instead Of solid rock,
and . conquerfnE flood descended up
on him, washed them away and snuffed
out his wretched life with them.
The "Clansmen." born Of desper-
ate and ready need, went forth boldly
to rescue their white women from the
ravages Of an unleashed menace and
to deliver their loved Southland from
the hands Of the oppressor, but when
they became . corrupted band Of ma
rauders and revenge seekers. mailed
Almighty hand reached out and
clutched them from the earth. The
great and good man. Abraham Lin
coin, met An untimely end at the
hands Of cruel ASSASSIN. but swift
and ignominious death soon overlook
the latter. while the former lives in
the hearts Of his countrymen and will
ever be glorified in history's choicest
pages. And 30 the great tale unfolds
itself, clear through a national chaos
to a perfect peace and living arsu-
ment Of right over might.

U. S. WORKERS FORM UNION
One Object Of Organization, 1t Is Said,
Is to Prove That Government Jobs
Are No Sineeures.

Approximately 5000 workers in the
government service at Washington are
already enrolled in the newly formed
union of federal employees, and
branches are already being formed in
other cities, according to H. NJ. Nc
Larin, president of the union.
Every cabinet department and every
independent bureau in Uncle Sans
establishment is represented in the new
union. Membership includes all ranks.
from laborers, messengers, and low
paid clerks to chiefs of important di-
visions and highly trained experts in
scientific bureaus.
'"The union is an organization of
Uncle Sans Understanding en-
plOyees for the benefit of the workers
and the service" declares McLariu,
"AbOve all, the union proposes to make
efficient service in the government rec
Ognized by the general public; to
make clear to every citizen that gov
ernment positions are not sinecures.
but responsible opportunities for pub
lie service"

BIG SEA THERE ONCE
Western Plains and Rocky Noun
tains Under Water.
Uncle Sans Geolosists Re-create In
Imagination Even Forests That
stood on Sandy Shores.

Uncle Sans geologists have recon-
structed In imagination the great sea
which they say once covered all the
great western plains and part II not
all of the Rocky Mountain region
They have conjured up even picture
of the forest which grew on the sandy
shore of this sea, naming the species OF
trees which grew there.
"a study of the rock beds upturned
along the eastern base of the noun
tains and Of we'll records and tosslLl-
erous rocks farther out on the plains
saws a bulletin of the United States
Geological Survey, "shOws that In Gre
taceous time the sea covered the
great plains and the larger part or all
Of the Rocky Mountain area, and that
it remained here so long that the muds
and sands deposited on Its bottom
reached a thickness Of more than a
mile in the area now drained by South
Platte River.
"The latest deposits in this sea now
form the Fox Hills sandstone, whicf
is 800 to 1000 feet thick in northeast

ly IA miles long. The bridge proper,
over the main channel of the river, Ia
slender iron structure more than g.
400 feet long, disposed In five arches.
Two mighty abutments on the right
and left banks, together with six stone
piers and ice-breakers, support this
section which is elevated more than
100 feet above the water, thus enabling
the tallest vessels to pass beneath it
without hindrance.
The bridge cost the Roumanian gov
ernment nearly $7,OOO,OOO. With its
completion Bucharest was brought
within seven hours journey Of the
Black sea shore. The eastern end OF
the bridge Is 80 miles In an airline west
Of COnstantza, and 90 miles east Of
Bucharest. The distance by rail be-
tween the capital and the port is lat
miles. Owing to the Importance Of this
line in the handling Of troops landed at
COnstantza by Russian transports,

FIND POTASH IN LAKE MUDS
Uncle Sans Chemists Make Impor-
tant Discovery in the Salt
akA Desert

Lake Desert.
In the brines and muds of the Sal.
durO marsh, a sink in the Salt Lake
desert, about GO miles west of the
southwest edge of Great Salt lake
Uncle Sans chemists have discovered
what 1t is believed will prove to be
a valuable supply of potash.
Singularly enough the salt crust
left at the surface of the desert
through the evaporation of the brines
contains little QOre than a traEe of
potash, most of the potash being con-
fined to the brines ami to the muds un-
DERIVING the salt crust. The success
full extraction of this potash is a
fascinating as well as most pressing
problem for the chemical engineer. Ac-
cOrding to the analyses made by the
geological survey, the brines and muds
from the Salduro marsh contain con-
siderable magnesium chloride, as well
as chlOrides of potassium and sodium,
and so are somewhat similar in COM
position to the deposits from which
potash is manufactured In Germany.
Therefore, it appears that success in
methods of manufacturing potash at
the SaldurO marsh should prove COM
paratively easy. While no extensive
exploratory work has been done by
the survey to show the area of the de-
post 1t is believed that the amount of
potash present in the region, If it can
be extracted with commercial success.
Is sufficient to provide a valuable
source Of supply to the country.

Band Saws Freak.

When band saw in a st. Louis
plant broke the other day, the acci-
dent was marked by peculiar fea-
lures. AS the saw was cutting
through a large log it came across
a spike that was imbedded in the
wood, and as the band was travelling
at immense speed when 1t snapped,
one end of 1t broke off and passed
through the log as If shot from a
cannon. This part was eight feet in
length and half of 1t projected and
as 1t came out in a curve, it is to be
surmised that the other half remains
coiled in the log in the same form.
The occurrence was no less unusual
than remarkable.

eral feet higher than the original sur
face of the ground.
Sometimes after the trees have
grown tall the sand moves away in
stead of piling up and the roots are left
bare, twisting and twlning in curious
shapes.
Some of the sand dunes are more
than 10 feet high, and in many in
stances their tops and sides are carved
into beautiful and strange shapes by
the lake winds.
Especially desirable Is the preserva-
ton of u part of the dune country as a
park and reservation for wild life near
a big city, because in addition to its
wealth Of plant growth 1t is one of the
great way-statlOns Of the birds In their
flights to and from the South. The
chain of the great lakes bars the North
and South pathway of the birds for
hundreds of miles, and in their multi
tudes they sweep round the western
edge Of Lake Michigan to find the first
open road. In the spring and fall hun
dreds of different species stop over In
the wooded country Of the dunes to rest
their wings.
Eagles Seen There.
Prof. H. c. Cowles Of the department
of botany in the University Of Chicago,
who has worked and studied In the
dunes for 20 years, has often seen
eagles there. Many varieties Of owls
and hawks are also among the feath'
cred residents.
A large part Of the dune country
which is adjacent to Chicago has al
ready been exploited. The manufactur'
I ing town Of Gary was built among the
dunes, which were leveled to suit the
purposes of commerce. Another big
tract Is used as a sand mine and ruined
as an object of natural beauty and IN
| terest.
1t happens that during the Gary
boom a tract Of $500 acres, lying be
tween Dune Park station and Michigan
City, was bought up by a local syndi
cate and Is still held untouched In 1t:
original condition. 1t fronts eight milei
on Lake Michigan, and Professor
Cowles is authority for the statement
that Its beach cannot be surpassed b!
that at Atlantic City. The slope out Il
deep water Is most gradual, and thu
sand itself is much finer than ordinar!
sea sand, because it is sifted by tn
winds, which leave only the finest.
