Ferns That Grow Everywhere

Two ferns are common throughout
the world. One is the common brake
found on the floors Of all California
canyons, known as pteridium aQullli-
mum. The other is the polpod found
on rocky canyon sides and known here
as pOlypOdium Californicum, and else
where, the world over as PolypOdium
vulgare. The specific differences are
due entirely TO geographic range.

Forest Fire Losses Small.

A loss to the government of $780,
3S5 in timber, forage and young
growth was caused by fires on the na-
tional forests in 1916, according to
statistics compiled by Uncle Sans
forest service. Although there was
more than the average number of
fires, the loss is the smallest that has
been sustained from fires since the
national forests were established. A
favorable season in the regions where
the most severe damage is usually sUs-
tnined is given as the chief reason for
the relatively small loss.

TEST YOUR LUNGS.
A Simple Method by Which One May

A Simple Method by Which One May
Measure His Development
People often suffer from weak, un.
developed lungs without suspectlng It.
True. small, feeble lungs are usually
associated with a small, narrow or
sunken chest, but not invariably. BY
means of the misuse of physical cul-
ture it Is possible to develop large
chest muscles, thus acquiring big
chest measurement. while the lungs
remain small and Ill nourished.
Again, lung mischief is often SO slow
and insidious IN its approach that the
trouble is not discovered until 1t Is
irmly established. Here, however, Is
4 simple test which will tell you
whether your lungs are healthy or not:
Take as deep breath as you can,
and then, IN a slow but distinct voice
count from one onward as far as you
:an, without tuking in more breath.
rhe number of seconds you can con-
tinue counting is pretty reliable in
lex to the state of your lungs, SO You
should have some one to time you.
If your lungs are sound and normal
ly developed your range will be be-
tween twenty and thirty-6ve seconds.
II your limit is between ten and twen.
ty seconds there Is no need to be
alarmed; probably your lungs are
merely in need Of exercise, to be read
lily obtained by regular deep breathing
in pure air. A range less than ten sec
onds, however, points 10 more or less
mischief, and you should not delay In
having your lungs examined by med
ical man.

OLson's Invitation

Utah would be injured, as Idaho has
been injured, by a public utilities
law; that there Is a wide distinction
between eastern and western states
in this matter; that our prosperity
can be and will be impaired by at
tempts to cripple our developing
business interests, and we have made
so bold as to urge the legislators
to let we'll enough alone
Moreover, the absurdity Of rail-
way regulations by forty-eight differ
ent states is Just beginning to be
understood. In one state cuspidors
are required by law; in another state
the cuspidors must be locked out Of
sight. In one state cars of certain
length must be used; in an adjoin-
ing state cars Of another length
must be supplied. In one state cars
must have platforms at a certain
width; in another state the width
must be different. The regulations
are getting to be a joke. but tragic
joke.
The time has come when the fed
eral government should govern all
the interstate roads of the country
according to uniform regulations,
for only by such means can the rail-
roads earn sufficient money to make
improvements and provide extern
sions. Utah needs development, but
cannot develop IL 1t shackles its pub
lie service corporations. Idaho and
California have tried the experiment
and have suffered. If we are wise
we can avoid the same abyss. But
Senator Olson invites us to jump in
to the abyss and discuss the details

Under the above heading the Salt
Lake Tribune sheds some light on
the methods adopted by the present
legislature. The Tribune's treatment
of the case is exactly in harmony
with the statements of members Of
the legislature. A senator told US
yesterday that Senator Olson had the
nerve to inform the committee that
he was going to report this bill IA
vorably even though it had not been
acted upon formally by the commit
tee. Because the democratic caucus
decided upon 1t, because the party
steering committee approved it, the
people be damned. 1t must pass. The
Tribune says:
'In letters Of invitation sent out
by Culbert l.. Olson, chairman Of the
judiciary committee of the senate. he
announced that the committee would
hear all persons desiring to be heard
on the senate public utilities bill.
The chairman did not simply invite
the public to come, he dared them.
In the following words he told them
Just what they might talk about and
what was barred:
"'No arguments will be heard on
the question OF policy in passing an
act of this nature, that question
having been determined by the peo-
pie in party convention and at the
polls. Only arguments as to details
of the bills will be heard
