By concerted effort on the part of
the highway department the state has
its own quarry, and rock for use on
roads in Washoe and other counties
is to come from this quarry. A
crushing plant has recently been
erected AID is prepared to deliver
from 300 to 400 tons of rock a day.
A spur track has been run from the
Southern Pacific road to the quarry
and the rock is shipped by rail from
the quarry direct to the job.
A unique trip was recently made
by n of the recently acquired mo-
tor trucks. over the mountains to San
Francisco. where it was loaded with
a large motor boat. The return trip
vas made without accident and the
motor boat has been launched on the
Walker lake. where it will be used

for miles surroundin. us in the form
of mountain ranges.
We can see the s~edimentary marine
deposits containing the organic liz
which was deposited in it. We see
the salt which nature used in pre-
serving the animal life until all was
in readiness. This perhaps was one
of the most important duties of the
salt. We might now go back to mans
little rendering pots to show the inn
p%ortance of this material.
Were we to procure a portion of
animal tissue today, to be rendered
out n year from today. our first
steps taken would be to salt it down
to preserve 1t for future operation.
Why would we use salt to preserve
it? Because 1t is n of the elements
nature made and used for that pur-
pose ages ago. The filling of these
big pots required untold ages, and
she was compelled to preserve her
material through the operation of
filling. Therefore, in laying down the
sedimentary marine strata of the Ter
tiary period, salt and sulphur were
added to preserve the animal tissue
in these deposits until the pot was
filled.
We see lime deposits. This was
another important element. Aside
from its duties with the fuel distrib-
uting agencies, it was detailed with
other elements to the repair shops.
Sometimes this big lid cracked. and
great volumes of steam, vapor and
hot water we're emitted. This could
not be tolerated by nature, although
no fats were lost through these
cracks as the solutions rose as vapors
until meeting with the ~condesing at
mosphere of the earth. AS water Is
e~vaporized under a much lower tenn
perature than fats, it may be clearly
seen that nothing other than water
and its affinities could escape, but
the pot must be kept at a constant
temperature and pressure to S
a perfect operation, so the cracks
must be mended, and lime did it. The
concentration of lime and other min
erals on the walls Of the fractures
sealed them, and the solutions were
showed onward, percolating through
the fat deposit. We also see the
fumerols and calcareous tufa cones
deposits Of sulphur and other EVIL
dences which proves the solfataric
heating of the pot. 1t is all here;
the operation is completed. and the
pure petroleum oil. which nature
renders in its big pots from marine
deposits. are just under the lid, and
the year 1920 of this recent epoch
will record n of the greatest events
for this particular spot on the earth
since its beginning in the Paleozoic
era-the skimming of the pot.

 This may appear ridiculous to you, fully familiar with the facts. It is not so ridiculous to the citizens of Madrid walking up and down that main street All he knows is what he sees, and he sees before him, in the midst of a great war that menaces German imperial ex- stence, that the Hamburg American Line still has every one of her ships. 1t shows how the German hangs on to a fOrlorn hope.

YOUTH IS LOVES GOLDEN AGE
Less Stable but Far More Pleasant
Than That Experienced in
Later Years.

The love Of youth is always full Of
hope. 1t is quite free from doubts and
fears. The young man and girl have
unbounded faith in love because they
have had no experience of the hearts
instability. Neither women nor men
can love quite so whole-heartedly and
truly once their faith in love has been
shaken. For this reason the palm for
true loving goes to youth. Older folks
sometimes love with more passion, but
they are also more subtle. They are
much richer in exquisite expression of
their affection, but this ability to talk
love" only comes with practice, and il
no proof Of sincerity.
This does not mean that an older
man or woman Is not sincere, but IN
doubtedly experience has taught them
that the love they have won must be
constantly oiled with sweet words If
the desire is to keep it. To certain
extent they are playing a part" while
the love Of youth is spontaneous.
"A girl does not analyze her love for
the boy nor his for her. She has per-
feet faith and yields willingly to the
loved ones authority. The love of
older folk Is hedged in by reservations
and 1t cannot stand the test of mar
riage so well.
True love need not be blind, but it
should not keep its eyes too wide open.
nor should it do too much reasoning.

of sympathy in his tone that seemed to

Steaming Paper.

task. The following method has been
found to do this work satisfactorily
Remove all furniture from the room
and take up the floor covering; place
in the middle Of the room some kind
Of q portable stove with big pan Of
water on top. Light the stove and
close all the windows and doors; when
the room becomes full Of steam 1t
will soften the paste which has been
used for sticking the paper on the
wall. After an hour or more Of the
steaming It viii be easy to remove ths

Of balance, both mentally and phys

as much consideration as one does a
child. Variety even in the serving of
milk is important. Surprises are i'm

children.
The tray should be arranged to please

including a blood test. 1t will pay
parents and it will be profitable for
the state and nation to see that every
child is examined every year. By the
system of height and weight charts
sent out by the children's bureau, any
mother may know whether her child
approaches the normal or not and, If
underweight, he should be examined at
once
Children need whole wheat Other
cereals may be used for variety. They
need fat, particularly butterfat, which
contains the wonderful substance
which promotes growth. They should
have sugar in moderate quantities and
an abundance Of fruit and fresh vege-
tables, especially those like spinach,
chard and lettuce, for in them also is
this life-promoting principle found in
milk, butter and cream.
Another food that a well-nourished
child should have Isl the egg. Serve
one in some form daily for each child

Prunes, figs, dates and raisins when
well masticated or cooked, are most
wholesome for children. Apples, baked,
are especially good; bananas when
thoroughly ripe and scraped to free
them from the stringy fibers are also
good. AS each fruit has some valuable
property in itself it is wise to have
variety. Children fed on prunes with

Our "Ain" Home Folk

If we hope to find life worth while
we must make the best Of existing con-
ditions and Of the persons around US.
Some Of them may be neither over
clever nor brilliant, but If we find them
thoughtful and conaderate they are
worthy Of our highest regard. OF
course, 1t is very pleasing to be "tak-
en- up" by REALLY smart" folk, but
sometimes this prestige lives only for
day, and then those persons go their
way, completely forgetting us and our
strenuous efforts to entertain them.
Happiness, like the blue bird Of fable,
is oftenest found at home among our
lain" home folks.
