Ne,os of Interest Gathered Here and There in tue State
STATE AIR LINE TAKES
 NEW LEASE ON LIFE

The Apache Aerial Transportation Go. has purchased seven-passenger plane from the All-Metal Airplane Co. of New York.
 The first payment of $2,500 was for warded by the corporation commits sion, which body has acted as the cus- todian of the company funds raised by the sale of stock since the office of the company for the sale of securities was closed.
 The total purchase price of the air plane is $15,000. It carries crew of two and seven passengers, and it has a flying radius of $50 miles on the fuel carried. The expense of operation is figured at only one dollar an hour.
 The plane is to be delivered imme- diately. The plan of the company is to fly it to Phoenix direct from New York some time this month, and put it into service between that city and Globe at a fare of $25 one way and $50 round trip, according to informa- tion received by the commission.
 Experimental trips are to be made to Los Angeles to determine whether the demand for this rapid transporta- tion between there and Phoenix is suf- ficient to justify putting planes regu- largly on that run.
 Wesley A. Hill, president of the Apache Aerial Transportation Co.,, has been in New York for several months on the business of securing the air ship.

TEACH FOREIGN WOMEN
 AMERICAN COOKING WAYS

When woman comes from a coun- try where housewives of her class have fed their families for generations on black bread, olive oil, and cheese 1t is not easy in new country to learn new methods of cooking. Many mis- takes in selecting proper food are ant to be made. The United States De- partment of Agriculture realizes this, and the home demonstration agents from the department and from the diff ferent state colleges are now teaching the foreign women how to select and cook American food. In Bayonne, N. J., the home demonstration agent and the foreign workers of the Interna- tional Institute cooperate. It is found that many of the cheap nutritious American foods are unknown to the Italian and Polish Women. But few used oatmeal, and those few prepared it improperly. In one month last winter in Bayonne 25 mothers were taught by the home demonstration agent how to prepare oatmeal prop erly. In the % families there were 92 children.
 A Bayonne girl of 13 years lost her mother last fall during the influenza epidemic. She has entire charge of six younger brothers and sisters. Her father gives her $1 day for food for the seven. Coffee and cake were the staple articles of food in the children's diet three times day. The home demonstration agent has now taught the little sister-mother how to pre- pare simple, cheap, nutritious dishes.

SEASON FOR FOREST
 FIRES, so BE CAREFUL

Too much can not be said about the danger of fire as the dry season ap- breaches, Last year western forests suffered millions of dollars loss from fire ravages. Hundreds and thou ands of acres of grain fields were de- stroyed, not to mention millions of dollars worth of residences and busi- ness property.
 One of the principal dangers to field and forest used to be throwing cigar cites or cigar stubs from train win dows into the dry grass. There is now a greater danger in the thousands of automobiles passing along the high way, from which person flips cig- arctic or cigar. Also camp fires left by persons not familiar with outdoor life.
 Be careful; put out fires; see tha. no waste is left around your premises cut the dry grass next to buildings; clean up the oily rags around your garage, and don't take chances.

SHEEP RAISING STRONG
 IN NEW ENGLAND STATES

Interest in sheep raising in the New England states is as strong this year as it was last year, when special im- petus was given the industry as war emergency, reports representative of the United States Department of Az riculture who recently visited the sheep extension specialists of the de- partment in Connecticut, New Hamp- shire, Massachusetts, Maine and Yer mont. In a number of counties ar engagements are being made to pool the wool and market it comparatively. The Sheep Growers Association of Addison county, Vt., which was formed at the suggestion of the county agent and sheep extension specialist of the department, agreed in May to pool the wool clip.
 As a result carload of approxi- mately 16,0O0 pounds of wool will soon be shipped from the county, the. first car lot shipment from the community in many years. This shipment will be followed by two others, making a total of approximately 48,000 pounds of wool Marketing will be handled by a committee of sheep raisers of the association, and arrangements have been made to grade the wool at the shipping point so that each grower will get his individual grade at the time of loading The wool crop from the Governments Morgan Horse Farm, located in the county, where about 200 sheep are kept for experi- mental purposes, will be included in the pool and marketed through the association.

TINY KINGDOM PROSPERS

Most persons do not know that there exists little privileged kingdom or province called Lebanon in Northwest ern Palestine, on the shore of the Mediterranean. And yet, since 1864, when the Maronites with their former enemies, the Druses, and fought so whole heartedly that they obtained un- usual recognition from the Porte, the people of Lebanon have been free to till their soil and watch their flocks comparatively unmolested. Their pop ulation has grown steadily until it is now over four hundred thousand, and, as a consequence, many Lebanonites have emigrated both to Egypt and America.
 Since the country is primarily agri- cultural and pastoral the inhabitants are of unusually fine physique and independent in spirit. They still have partners, wolves and foxes to con tend with; eagles, vultures and wild pigeons are common, and the cultiva- ton of mulberries, silks, and olives has helped to keep them in their simple state of civilization.
 Lebanon has government which was directly dependent upon the Porte, which acted, before the war, in con- sultation with six western powers to direct and appoint military gover- nor, who was Christian in the service of the sultan, and approved by the powers. This type of rule, since the people were naturally peaceful, seem ed to work very well. No doubt they will be freer than they ever were be- fore, now that the power of the sultan has been broken.

NoIsELEsS SOUP SPOON

W. D. Trites, the novelist, was astonished, on a recent visit to Chi cago, by the almost deafening sound made by the Chicago soup eaters in a fashionable restaurant.
 "The sound," said MT. Trites, "bears strong resemblance to violent surf, the surf of the Bay of Biscay, for ex- ample, heard at distance. It's very curious. Very curious indeed"
 A moment afterward, however, find ing it impossible to hear his neigh bor on account of the noise of soup eating that arose from every side, MT. Trites turned to the nearest soup eater and said courteously:
 Permit me, sir, to offer you the latest European invention--a noiseless soup spoon"
 And he handed the Chicagoan a straw,

POTASH ERUPTED BY
 VOLCANOS IN ITALY

Dr. Henry s. Washington, of the Carnegie Geographical Laboratory, has published a computation of the total amount of potash present in the lavas of the six chief volcanoes along the west coast of Italy that have erupted leucitic lavas. A conservative estimate is 10 billion tons of potash. Doctor Washington believes that in these volcanoes, Italy possesses one of the largest visible supplies of potash known to exist, if not the largest. Im- Iortant silicate rock sources of potash are also available in, the United States, including the leucite hills in Wyoming and the belt of glauconite that ex- tends from New Jersey to Virginia. The latter is estimated by Doctor Washington to contain 2,034 million metric tons of potash.

FIRST SHIPMENT TRUCKS
 TO ARRIVE IN FEW DAYS

PHOENIX, June 3.-Shipping direc- tions for 108 trucks, the first appor- tionment to Arizona by the depart ment of agriculture for road building, have been sent to Washington, says Thomas Maddock. state engineer.
 "This is only the beginning" said Maddock. "The state will get great many more trucks, together with trail CTS, concrete mixers and every con- ceivable sort of equipment used in constructing highways. The equip ment was bought by the war depart ment for other uses overseas but with the signing of the armistice it was turned over to the highway bu- reau of the department of agriculture for distribution"

29,OOO YUMA ACRES
 TO BE RESURRECTED
 BY ELECTRIC POWER

The state corporation has issued a certificate of convenience and necessi- ty permitting E. F. Sanguinetti and F. l.. Ewing of Yuma to supply cleo trical energy for power and lights to the inhabitants of the county outside of theNcity of Yuma and to the Yuma Ice Co. within the city limits.
 The granting of this certificate will mean the immediate development of some 29,000 acres of land through the supply of cheap power for pumping irrigation to districts which heretofore have been held back through the in ability of other concerns to furnish such power.

USED BY OLD GREEK SURGEON
Instrumsnts Employed Two Theusand Ysars Ago Much Like Thoss
 sf Modern Day.

American surgeons realize now how much . rubbish heap may teach a man. A complete set of surgical in- struments was found recently by men digging in a scrap pile in Colopon. an ancient Greek city. In spite of the fact that they were used 2,0O0 years ago there Is not much difference be- tween them and the implements that are poked into the anatomy of mod ern man. In the set are small knives with handles of decorated bronze, a metal which the Greeks thought was especially healing. There are also several pairs of forceps, one of them used to extract the heads of arrows and lances from wounded warriors. Another instrument Is for drilling holes in the bones of the skull, an- other for cauterizing the flesh. Be sides these are vessels for cupping and bleeding, . small covered bronze box for delicate instruments, q slab of stone for mixing certain drugs, and pair of scales which still balance perfectly. In addition to these there Is the handsome purple glass beaker, probably the drinking cup of the un- known surgeon who made use of all these instruments.

SALUTATIoNs

Many persons say, "What is the use of salutations? When I meet lady in the street, why should I raise my hat?" And, by the way, young men, it is worth your while either to salute a lady or not to. The habit of touch ing your hat is vulgar habit. It is like, in letter writing, using "gent" in stead of gentleman"

Award Contracts
For klamath Road

Three contracts have been award
ed for road and bridge construction
in Northern California in connection
with the klamath River road project,
and are as follows:
The Happy Camp section of the
klamath River road was awarded to
w. A. Bechtel Of San Francisco, the
amount of the contract being ap-
proximately $2S5,O00; length of the
road to be constructed, Is miles.
This section of the klamath river
road is a continuation OF the present
road west from Hornbrook toward
Eureka, and the award of this con-
tract marks the first step toward ac-
tual construction of q road over the
50-mile gap between Happy Camp
and Orleans.
Another section of this same road,
the Orleans-Somes Bar section, was
awarded to William B. Arndt of San
Francisco, the amount of the con-
tract being approximately s150,000
for distance Of IA miles. This
section of the road is a continuation
of the existing road from Orleans
north along the klamath river to-
ward Happy Camp. The construc-
tion of these two sections will leave
approximately 26 miles, for which
II is expected that contracts will be
awarded later in the season.
At the same time notice was re-
ceived Of the award of the contract
for the construction of the Salmon
River bridge to Frank L. Smith OF
the amount of the contract
being approximately $1,000, This
bridge is on the line Of the road be.
tween Yreka and Somes Bar, where
the Salmon River road connects with
the klamath River road, mentioned
above. About four miles of this road
lying Immediately west of Forks of
Salmon, has previously been con-
structed by the department OF agri-
culture. AS soon as the bridge has
been constructed work will be start
ed on another section of the road
Immediately west of the bridge.

time, Williams said He contends
that no blaze of accidental origin
could have consumed such an expanse
of bridge in so short time as was
the case in this fire. The location
of the bridge, he declares, is ideal
for the staging of a serious wreck
and only the presence of mind Of the
engineers of the first locomotive,
who applied the air before jumping,
thus bringing the train to a stop,
prevented the two helper engines, as
well as the rest of the train, from
going into the ditch, at the probable
cost Of many lives.
