Former President Taft, the up
standing American, will soon make a
tour of the country speaking in be-
half of a world league to enforce
peace. Mr.. Taft originated the league
of nations idea while he was president.
Although badly discredited when he
retired from the presidency he is
looked upon by many today as
Americas leading citizen since the
death of Theodore Roosevelt and it
is more than a possibility that he
may again be leading candidate for
president. This much is certain Mr..
Taft was a much misunderstood man
while chief executive and this coun-
try could 60 much further anr fare
considerably worse than by once more
siderably worse than by once more
electing him to the presidency.

is barely possible that Vail had more
than a passive influence in the big
increase in long distance telephone
rates which Mr.. Burleson is attempt

Government control of public utilities
to date has meant inferior service at

Reading the sporting pages these
days one is impressed with the no
ton that the big base ball moguls
of the country have the necessary in
fluence to have the stars of the game
released from military service in
plenty of time for the opening of the
base ball season. The Herald is
anxious to see all of the boys in
France brought home as soon as pos
sible, but just why the ball players,
many of whom ducked service as long
as was possible, should be brought
back ahead of the boys who went into
the service and to France months be-
fore them; boys who gave up fine po-
sitions in necessary occupations, is
beyond our understanding.

Lake of Salt in Australia
Supplies an Immense Crop
Carts and Pl0Ws Are Used

In South Australia there Is a Won
herful lake of pure salt. 1t is huge
depression in the earth which fills up
In the winter months. In the summer
The water quickly evaporates, leaving
a thick deposit of pure salt. Seen
from a distance the surface of the
lake has all the appearance of being
covered with a sheet of ice. The salt
is so thick that strong men and even
carts and plows can traverse it with
perfect safety. Yet below the crust
there is considerable body of slug
gish water. After the rays of the sum-
mer sun have played their part, the
salt is gathered. This is a simple
operation, the salt being raked into
heaps, making pyramids that are a
striking feature of the landscape. The
salt is then shoveled into carts and
conveyed to various works to undergo
the process of refining.
Gathering the salt is trying work on
account Of the great heat and the daZ-
cling reflection, and it is often neces-
sary for the workers to wear colored
glasses to protect their eyes. After
the loose salt has been collected from
the surface plow is run over it,
when another harvest of the valuable
material can be reaped. The yield
Of salt from this strange lake amounts
to several thousand tons q year, and
1t Is among the finest obtainable The
lake is several square miles in area
and is naturally a very valuable
property.

OF THE EPIPHANY

Fair Eastern Star, thou art ordained to
run
Before the sages, to the rising sun,
Here cease thy course, and wonder that
the cloud
OF this poor stable can thy Maker
shroud;
Ye heavenly bodies glory to be bright,
And are esteemed as ye are rich in light.
But here on earth is taught a different
way,
Since under this low roof the Highest lay.
Jerusalem erects her stately towers,
Displays her windows and adorns her
bowers;
Yet there thou must not cast trembling
spark,
Let Herod's palace still continue dark:
Each school and synagogue thy force re-
pels,
There Pride enthroned in misty error
dwells;
The temple, where the priests maintain
their choir,
Shall taste no beam of thy celestial fire.
While this weak cottage all thy splendor
takes;
A joyful gate of every chink it makes.
Here shines no golden roof, no ivory stair,
No king exalted in a stately chair.
Girt with attendants, or by heralds styled.
But straw and hay enwrap a speechless
Child.
Yet Sabae's lords before this Babe unfold
Their treasures, offering incense, myrrh
and gold.
The crib becomes an altar; therefore dies
No OK nor sheep; for in their fodder lies
The Prince of Peace, who, thankful for
his bed,
Destroys those rites in which their blood
was shed;
The quintessence of earth he takes and
fees,
And precious gums distilled from weeping
trees;
Rich metals and sweet odors now declare
The glorious blessings which his laws
prepare,
To clear US from the base and loathsome
flood,
Of sense and make US fit for angels food,
Who lift to God for US the holy smoke.
Of fervent prayers with which we him in
woke,
And try our actions in the searching fire,
By which the seraphins our lips inspire:
No muddy dross pure minerals shall in
feet,
We shall exhale our vapors up direct;
No storms shall cross, or glittering lights
deface
Perpetual sighs which seek a happy place.
Sir John Beaumont.

The little girl with saucy eyes and
bobbed hair shown in this picture is
evidently posing under protest. Even
SO, she cannot contrive to look any
thing but pretty in this new finery of
chambray, which anticipates spring
flowers by blossoming out in January.
Along comes a troop of pretty frocks
early in the year, in gayly colored cot
tons and in white, so that the outfit
ting of the small fry and Of flappers
may be disposed of. Weightier matters
will district the mind of mothers when
Easter approaches, and the more seri-
Gus matter of choosing her own or 9TH
er grown-up apparel takes the atten-
ton of the head of the household.
Two of the new frocks made of
chambray are shown here. Both en-
ploy white cotton material with q
color, and the color may be any one of
the usual popular tones of blue, pink,
rose, tan, yellow or light green that
are sure of a welcome every spring.
These staple fabrics and colors are al
ways used. 1t Is the variation Of de-
sign and simple ornamentation that
add interest to the seasons styles.
The frock at the left has a triple
box plait down the front of the short

Big Jobs Are Filled by the
Men Who Produce the Results

Some men are cursed with the abili-
ty to do chores. They can do all the
little tinkering jobs well and can't get
busy with the big ones until all the
petty tasks receive attention. To be
sure the great man is master of details.
He will know every step in his busi-
ness. But he will delegate to others
what belongs to their work. No man
can be the brains for the whole bust
ness. Neither can he be the handy
man for the concern and direct its
policy at the same time. If he is the
business is small. Where you find q
man who delights more in winding the
clock that he does in keeping his desk
clear you can mark him factotum and
recommend him to any one of a thou
sand big firms that need handy man.
But that's as far as he will get. The
big places are filed by men who get
down to business.

which they could unload their bombs
uninterruptedly, If possible, and then
flee. They often penetrated into the
heart of England. ~
Six Zeppelins were brought down In
England, the first by Lieut.. Leefe
Robson at Cuf1ey. He was awarded
the Victoria Cross. The incendiary
machine gun bullets which he used
had been issued for the first time only
the day before the raid, September
2, 1916. The second Zeppelin was
brought down in flames at Great Bur-
sted. Out of 13 Zeppelins which raid
ed England October 10, 1917, the Ger.
mans lost four. One descended al.
most intact near Mersea island, at
the northeast corner Of Essex. An
other was brought down in flames
near Potter's Bar, and two other Yep
pelins were forced to land, but the
crews destroyed their ships.

sending Zeppelins against explosive

protected against that device) she In

The glory of evening wraps has re-
turned. Sumptuous is a good word to
use in describing them; they combine
the richness of costly brocades and
velvets with the handsomest furs, and
extravaganza in furs is written into
the history of this winters fashions.
But extravaganza in furs is not reck-
lessness; they have intrinsic value, like
jewels or fine oriental rugs. The wom'
an who owns good furs should cherish
them, for it seems inevitable that they
must advance in price. There is moth
ing in apparel that may be remodeled
more successfully or that gives such a
certain return in satisfaction upon the
required investment as good furs.
Such thing as a furless wrap is
hardly to be found. In evening wraps
ample fur collars are the rule, but
there are gorgeous models in which
wide borders of fur divide honors with
regal fabrics in the body of the wrap.
These wraps are full, voluminous, the

style fitting the character of stuffs
used for making them. A good exam
pie, not an extreme, but handsome
wrap, appears in the style shown in
the picture above. Huge silver roses
on dark satin ground make the love-
ly brocade of which this capelike wrap
is fashioned. Nothing could look bet
ter with it than the luxurious collar of
dark, glossy and long-haired fox fur
that finishes it. This collar fairly in
vites its wearer to cuddle down into
it and makes a beautiful background
for the evening dress it reveals when
thrown back from the shoulders.
The dress in this particular instance
appears to be of black satin and black
velvet, which is a happy choice to
wear with a glorious wrap. One must
know where to leave off in the use of
color Everything in the toilette pic
tured is commendable the neatness of
the coiffure and all the care of detailf
which insures exquisite finish.

candle might be used for belt of this
kind, as it is laid in plaits. A pretty,
childish decorative feature is made by
two fiat pearl buttons sewed down
with black cotton. Diagonal slit pock-
cts are outlined with needle work in
black also, and little embroidered flow
er motifs are made to correspond.
This piquant touch of black is note
worthy in spring style for little folks.
With collar and cuffs of white this
frock is a crisp and brilliant accom-
plishment, employing only simple and
familiar means.
At the right an equally clever de-
sign shows the same simple means
used in q different way. In this frock
the bodice is heightened into front,
back and side panels, with the cham
bray set between them by inverted
plaits. A tiny chemisette, set in at the
front of the collar, adds one more I'M
expected joy to life for the small girl.

about 2,500,000 cubic feet, thus IN

was quickly countered by improved de-
fense methods in Britain. The Zepps
carried about $500 pounds Of bombs
each.
The first time the Zeppelins visited
London the people took it as a great
joke, flocking to the housetops to see
the incendiary bombs that were
dropped. Only six persons were killed
in the initial raid, although 80 incen-
diary bombs were heaved overheard.
The men in the later type Of Yep

The captain and navigating personnel

ward gondola and the crew, generally
about twenty men, from the engine
and midship cabins. In the face of
disaster, however, there is no record
Of any member of a Zeppelin crew
having saved himself by this means,
either because the machine became too
quickly enveloped in flames or fell too
rapidly for the parachute to open out.

Only the severity Of the climate
and lack of adequate transportation
together with Indifference on the part
of the government prevented the 81
berian gold fields from becoming the
greatest in the world.
Alluvial gold was first found in the
Province of Eniseisk in 1880. After
wards gold was discovered in great
amounts throughout the whole prov
ince. The gold is found in many
cases in the sand of rivers and small
streams.
The geological formation of these
deposits varies, but in many cases
shows predomination of slate rocks.
The thickness of gold-bearing strata
varies in places from IA feet to q
feet, and their extent from fve-tenths
to 35 miles
The proportion of gold is also diff
ferent, according to the depth of the
deposit. A thin layer of alluvium,
called 'turf," usually covers the gold
strata.

Times, Now He's Home Safe

Hardy is one of Uncle Sans soldiers
that the Huns couldn't kill. Eight
times his name was on the casualty
list, but now he's back home safe and

Twice he was gassed by mustard gas.
He spent nine weeks in a German
prison camp, from which he made a
daring escape. Hardy was one of the
first 10000 American soldiers on the
firing line in France and he served
with two United States divisions
which were practically wiped out. This
twenty -three-year-old lad has been
complimented by General Pershing for
bravery. He declined to try for a
commission. "I wanted to be in nc

BY employing the proper method, it
is possible to diminish the dampness
within the piles where the air does not

To avoid this, substance which ab-

on the potato must be employed, and
for this purpose it is found that lime
is the best substance, as it costs least,
is easy to handle, and is best known.
In practice the method can be ap-

EmployingDisab
Soldiers
EnsGshmen Are Taking Their
Duty Seriously

Advertisements printed in the Lon
don papers by British business con-
Germs frequently carry this line:
"We have put a disabled soldier on
our pay roll. Have you?"
The extent to which the line is used
indicates that Englishmen are taking
their duty to employ injured British
soldiers very seriously. They are not
talking vaguely about the nations
debt to the army. They are paying a
debt to the men.
Every concern employing any con-
siderable number of men has places
that can be filed by partially disabled
men, and whenever such place is
filed the disabled soldier should have
the first chance.

piled in the following way. 1t is to be
remarked that when potatoes are
stored up after being well cleaned be-
forehand, they commence to exude
moisture, and must be gone over again.
The storage place is sprinkled with
quicklime, and each layer of three or
four inches of well dried potatoes Is
/sprinkled over with lime; the same
on the outside of the pile. When sort
ing as above stated, the imperfect
ones need not be thrown away, but the
bad parts cut out and the rest fed to
stock after cooking or passing through
dryer or baking in q furnace; or they
can be sent to a starch factory if one
is near by. AS to the. amount of lime
to be used, the proper quantity is
about ten pounds of lime to 1000
pounds of potatoes. Il.
