Danish Political
Crisis At An End
Sale Of Islands May Be Accomplished
Without An Election

London. Sept. 5.-A Copenhagen
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company says the Danish political
crisis arising out OF the proposed sale
OF the Danish West Indies shows sign
OF collapsing very suddenly.
Although a general election seem.
ed inevitable yesterday" the dis.
patch adds, it now looks as If the
sale might still be accomplished with.
out an election. The leader Of the
conservative party today, proposed to
the premier that negotiations for the
formation of a coalition cabinet be re-
opened and the premier consented.
The fact appears to be that all the
parties are beginning to feel that an
election would be calamity now and
should be avoided. IL possible.

SLEEPING CARS MADE INTO
COLLEGE poRMlToRIEs

Two Pullman sleeping cars consti.
tute the novel addition to the dormit.
ory equipment of Blackburn College,
carlinville, H., according to the Sep
TENDER Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The cars were acquired during the
past year because OF the rapid IN
crease in attendance at the institu.
ton. While no longer suited for ex.
tended Journeys, they are in excellent
condition and are very popular with
the students. They were switched
to side track near the campus and
then lifted from their trucks and
transferred to brick foundations close
to the college buildings. The cars are
connected with hot water heating
system which makes them very com.
Portable in winter.

American Mineral
Wax

The American need for o2okerite
"a substance commonly known as
mineral wax has heretofore been
largely met by imports from the
mines in Galicia, Austria, but as the
war in Europe has seriously affected
ocean transportation, interest In the
domestic supply OF this material has
been stimulated. In order to obtain
Information regarding the deposits OF
ozokerite in Utah, the principal de-
posits in this country, a geologist OF
the U. s. Geological Survey, Depart.
ment of the Interior examined in Sep
TENDER, 1914, the deposits near Sol
dier Summit and Cotton, in the CEN
trail part of the State.
As described in the resulting report
by Fl. NJ. Robinson the ozokerite Is
found in assures and brecciated zones
principally In the Wasatch formation
OF Eocene age. Tests made by the
Bureau OF Mines on six samples show
their specific gravity, solubility, melt
ing point, and the fractional distil-
Iates they yield, and 1t is suggested
that by boiling crude ozokerite with
strong denatured alcohol a CONNER
cial separation of the refined product
ceresin may be made. On account OF
the irregular distribution Of the ozok.
erite no safe estimate can be made
as to the quantity Of undeveloped or
okerite, but the quality, as far as
the melting point is concerned. COM
pares favorably with the Austrian
product and the market conditions
brought about by the war in Europe
offer exceptional opportunities for the
development of Utah ozokerite.
Ozokerite is a nonconductor of cleo
trlcity and is extensively used for in.
sulating. Candles made from cocker
lite have superior qualities, Much OF
the ozokerite mined is converted into
ceresin, a highly purified product
which is used to replace or mix with
beeswax and has variety of other
uses. Ozokerite is also used as a
foundation for various wakes and pol
Ishes; as a covering to protect metal
surfaces from the action OF moisture,
acids, or alkalies; and for wax fig.
ures and dolls.

Declares Law Make Shift

Washington, Sept. 4.--There was
a lively tilt in the House today over
the eight hour law enacted last week
to prevent the threatened railroad
strike. Representative Moore OF
Pennsylvania, Republican, criticised
the President and Congress, insisting
that the law was a make sn.ft, like
~ to bring on strike later when II
would be a-greater calamity. Repre-
sentative Adamson, author OF the
act, denied all of Mr.. Moore's asser-
tions and declared that the law was
only part of legislative program
to be completed at another session.
Senator Reed of Missouri today in
iroduced a resolution to authorize the
Interstate commerce commission to
investigate the effect of the eight hour
day law on the cost Of operation Of
railroads and to report to Congress in
December. The resolution will be
called up for consideration tomor

Ii more than holding its own against
the new competitor. The local de-
mand for horses Is greater than 1t
was year ago, and higher prices are
predicted.
The steam locomotive, the electric
motor and the bicycle never drove the
horse of the roads. Automobiles to
the number OF hundreds of thousands
are in daily use, and there is no lack
OF work for the horse. The advan'
tages OF heavy motor trucks have
been proved, and yet more horses
than ever are in demand.
The explanation Is that as the coun'

Ing for all classes OF vehicles and
that under certain conditions the
horse is the most available means
for moving commodities.

LOOKING ON THE
SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE

There is a great difference in the
various kinds OF wrinkles stamped on
the human face by emotions of one
sort or another. There are the wrin.
kies of sorrow, laying across the fore
head and around the eyes, giving the
face, even when smiling, an express
sion OF sadness pitiable look of
grief. There are the wrinkles of dis
content and anger marking crows
feet between the eyes. drawing down
the lips with querulous lines from
nose to mouth and giving general
air of fretting TO the whole face.
Then, last and best Of all, are the
lines OF mirth, leaving fine wrinkles
around the corners of the eyes and
sometimes a semi-circular line in
each cheek from smiling. The lines
OF mirth are all curves, rather be-
coming than otherwise. II we must
have wrinkles at all, let us have
these. They are the Landmark of
many happy years gone before and
many happy ones to come, for the
man or woman who has learned to
smile at life need never fear the fu-
ture.
More and more we are coming to
realize that happiness Is within the
reach of all IL we will but stretch out
our hands to take It. AS the practic'
al farmer said when a visitor ad-
mired the picturesqueness Of his farm
house, oval, it's all in the pint OF
view" And so 1t Is with happiness,
Its all in the point Of view," for
what some of us find happiness OBJ
ers would call misery.

HAWAIrs TAME VOLCANO

Honolulu. Hawaii. An interesting
visitor to the Isles of Peace recently
was Thomas II. Watson, who as a
colleague with Alexander Graham
Bell, constructed the first practical
telephone some forty years ago. Mr.
Watson spent several weeks in the
islands, and has now returned full of
enthusiasm to his home In Boston.
He was particularly charmed with
the climate which Is described by him
as the most equable he ever knew,
and he has stated his intention of
describing the islands to his friends
as the finest summer and winter re-
sort in the world. Mr.. Watson is a
member of the Hawaiian Volcano Re-
search Association and takes great In
terest in the good work heing per-
formed at the observatory of the IA
nous continually active Volcano OF
Kilauea, generally known as the
only tame volcano in the world and
the objective point of every visitor
to the Hawaiian Islands.

Urges Earlier
Closing Hours
For Saloons
Church People Would Have Bars Shut
Their Doors at Six O'Clock
In the Evening

Ogden, Sept. members OF sew
eral church congregations yesterday
signed petition to be presented to
the city commission asking that the
request Of saloon men for a midnight
closing law be denied and that the sa.
loon be closed at 6 o'clock pm. in.
stead OF o'clock as at present.
Since July, 1911, Ogden saloons
have closed at 9 o'clock pursuant to
an ordinance passed by the city
council preceding the wet and dry.
election of that year. In view OF the
almost certain passage OF prohibf
ton law to take effect next year, the
ualoon men recently asked the com
mission for permission to remain
open for business until midnight.
In protesting against the granting
Of this request, the prohibitionists OF
the city will declare that public sen.
tlment Is in favor Of curbing rather
than extending the business hours of
saloons and will ask that o'clock p.
M. be made the closing hour.
The petition signed yesterday will
he presented to the commission this
week and It is thought 1t will be
given a public hearing at the same
time the petition Of the saloon men
is brought up for action.

There was plenty Of shooting, but we
