The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-03-09

started to take my bath Satidday nite, and termed the wattir on in the bath tub and went up in my room and got undressed and put on my pidjam- mers and my Indian bath robe, think ing, Gosh, I'm sleepy, wish I was go- ing to bed now inste1 of taking my bath ferst, wonder if a persin didn't take a bath for years weather they would feel eny verse.
 And I sat down on the edge of my bed, thinking, I wonder how high the wattir is by this time. I wonder If I would have time to take 40 wtnks, like people do in books, before the tub gets full?
 Wich I laid down and started to try, shutting my eyes and starting to count 40, and by the time I counted IS was 5 eights asleep and by the time l couted 19 I was too asleep to even count 20, and all of a suddin weak up with @ jerk on account of pops voice taw4ing oud down stairs.
 Gosh, G, holey smoaks. the watt1r, l thawt.
 Who the confounded doose termed this wattir on, yee gods, wat a mess, all over the floor. sed pop loud as eny- thing.
 Heck, G, jimminy crickits, thawt. And I quick ran out in the hall and called down stairs, Hay, pop, Will you please do me ? favor, will you please turn the wattir off in the bath tub? Will you please do me a favor will you please condescend to honor me with your presents for a few mo- ments? sed pop.
 {, Meaning for me to come down. Wien I did, and pop had one slipper off waiting for me, and I quick put my hands in back of me and got fearse kracks on them and quick took they away and got 4 fearse kracks ware they wasent, and then l had to wipe up the bath room floor, wich ii serteny needed it, and then took my bath.

MONTH OF BIRTH IMPORTANT
knowIedqe Said to Be of Value When Choosing Friends, or Making
 Business Dealings.

That a knowledge of a persons month of birth will be found of great value and advantage in mak- ing friends and in business dealing is the contention of those who have studied planetary influences. Ex- perts claim that months, like human beings, have their atfinities.
 For instance, if you are born from January 20 to February 19, you will be in harmony with those born from May 21 to June 21 or Sep tember 23 to October 23.
 If born from February 19 to March 21, with those of June 21 to July 22 and October 23 to No- vember 22.
 If March 22 to April 19 with those of July 22 to August 22 and November 22 an December 31.
 It may be taken as a general rule that you will be most in harmony and sympathy with those people born the third or seventh month after yourself.

INFORMATION.

Approximately speaking there are 1,OO0,0O0,OOO people of the yellow races. This includes the whole of Asia and Oceania. They form two- thirds of the population of the earth. It is hardly practical to give the negro population of Chicago. The Chicago News Almanac quotes the census of 1910 in giving it at 44,103. This, however. is hardly correct, as there has been a very considerable shift in the negro pop ulation from the South to the North in the past four or five years. The Constitution requires that the presi- dent of the United States must be a natural-born citizen. The courts have never defined the meaning of natural-born citizen as used in the Constitution in this connection.

PATHWAYS BUILT BY ANTS
Little Insects Are Indefatieable In Constructing Roads That Con.
 ceal Their Movements.

How many of us realize that there are more than one thousand species of ants, and that there Is no insect more marvellous in its habits than this same diligent little worker? Even the bird architect cannot equal it as builder of roads, towns and cities. The ants road is frequently merely beaten path from which all obstacles have been removed, but 1t is more often a tunneled highway, covered with decayed leaves, and varying from one to three inches in width to hundred or two yards in length, ending at the village. When streams of ants are seen ascending and descending a tree it is sure sign that there is such road at the base of the tree.
 Ant nests naturally vary in form, according to species. Some are in the shape of complicated tunnels, with a system of galleries partly above and partly below ground, un- der a big rock, or some other place of concealment from the ants nat ural enemy, man. Others cut pas sages in wood, preferably more or less decayed timber, where they build their houses, using small sticks of wood, covered with dirt and leaves.-Exchange.

UNDER STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR
gineers to Be Comparatively Simple Matter.

If it is feasible to tunnel the Eng fish channel, twenty miles in width, it is even more feasible to tunnel the Strait of Gibraltar, which is but eight miles wide at its narrowest part. 1 do not imagine that such a man as Samuel Req of the Pennsyl- vania would hesitate at such a job, writes Edward Hungerford in the Saturday Evening Post.
 This would mean that it would be an easy matter indeed to send a through train from London under the English channel, across France and Spain, the selfsame Strait of Gibraltar and straight to the won- derful new port of Dakar, which the French have been so quietly con- structing these past few years in Senegal at almost the extreme wes- ternmost point of Africa.
 There the Atlantic is narrow in- deed. An ordinary fast steamer can cross from Dakar to South America in four or five days, while the traf- fife experts in London figure out that, with such through rail route, from Charing Cross or Victoria to Rio de Janeiro will be only eight days and Buenos Aires nine days distant from London; with San tiago de Chile, by means of the Trans-Andean railroad, only two days farther.

Airplanes in
 the Yukon
Dawson News

Aircraft may work marvels in hastening the unlocking of the iso- lated Northland to develop and in bringing it into close contact with the older parts of the world.
 If conditions be found practicable permanent trunk line air routes may be established, and in connec- tion with them local routes may de- velop. All will appreciate the ad- vantage that would come with rapid and reliable communication between this isolated region and the metro- politan centers ot the continent. Mail, express and passenger traffic could be served.
 First class local air service could be turned, perhaps, to advantage in police and forest patrol, local mail service, prospecting, delivery of outfits for trappers and others on remote expeditions, the carrying of aid to the injured and the bring ing in of the sick to hospitals, and numerous other services.
 The dirigible, as well as the plane, may in tune be harnessed to give it's steady service to the Yukon sourdough. Volume of traffic as we'll as dispatch may yet be rem dered the Yukoner by machines that find their trails through the air rather than through the forest and over mountain and vale.
 It will be interesting to know what the aviator will find in travel ing in Yukon as compared to what he has found in older countries. Here, for one thing, he is remote, and he will perhaps need we'll sup plied-stations, where he, in case of permanent routes being established, can depend on getting gas and re- pairs and relief without delay.
 The study of atmospheric condi- tions of the Arctic and sub-Arctic both summer and winter is some thing which every government should now go into thoroughly. No country can claim to be thorough in it's aviation service if it does not have men thoroughly acquainted with Arctic flying possibilities.
 There is much to learn as to the best landings for summer and win ter, the type of machines best adapted to this region for each sea- son and the most desirable routes for thorough travel and local ser vice.
 The men now here are the trail- blazers of the air. They are but a lap behind the trail blazers who mushed the trails with dog teams. History may accord to both high honors in the development of Yukon and Alaska.

Until quite recent times sawdust
was regarded in-~wood mills as a waste
product. Now it serves many purposes
and has a commercial value of something
like ten shillings a hundredweight.
Sawdust is particularly useful in the
manufacture Of various building mate
rials. Mixed with clay it makes sp!en-
did tiles and bricks, while combined
with concrete an. economical and good
weanng flooring material is obtained.
To French chemists belong the discov-
cry of sawdust dyes. They found a com
bination of various chemicals acting upon
sawdust produced a substance which is
said to be quite as effective as the best
aniline" dyes for c~oloring purposes:
In Germany during the War a huge
amount of sawdust was used for max

chemical agents to extract certain harm

USE LESS SUGAR IN JAMS.

One-ffth to one-quarter less sugar can
be used in making jelly and Jams, expert
ments made by the household experts
in the United States Department OF Agri
culture experimental kitchen indicate.
Another sugar-saving wrinkle tested
by the experiment Kitchen is to add
~one-quarter teaspoon of salt to each cup
Of fruit juice for jelly or pulp for Jam.
marmalade, and conserve. In the case OF
nonacid fruit this makes the absence OF
the full amount of sugar less noticeable.
The salty taste will disappear after the
product has stood for a few weeks, but
the flavor will be much the richer for the
addition of the salt. Salt was so used in
England during the war, and the method
suggested was based On reports OF the
process.
With fruits of pronounced flavor, or
where lemon and orange peel or spices
are used for favoring those with mid
flavor, various sirups take the place Of
the graduated sugar. Usually half and
half is the proportion used in substitu-
tion.--Ibtu.

Horticultural Commissioner F.
". Waite Completes Ar
rangenents for Excellent
Kind of Windbreak Free to
RuncherS.

County horticultural Commission
er F. W. Waite has completed ar
rangements whereby Imperial Valley
ranchers can secure free cuttings from
the government experiment station at
Indio of the new Tamaraix Articulat-
or. a tree which makes an excellent
windbreak and which he believes
should be in general use throughout
the Valley.
The tree which will grow on an av-
erage of 20 feet year until 1t attalns
heighth of 60 feet, has several ad-
vantages which make it superior to
the eucalyptus tree so common in the
Valley.
The eucalyptus, it is explained,
sends out tap roots in every direction
SO that for a space of many feet on
each side of the tree it is impossible
to grow crops. Other trees die because
of the sucking qualities of the eucalyp-
tus roots.
The Tamaraix Articulstor, sends
down one straight tap and threes will
grow within a few feet of the tree.
Although many varieties of this tree
are decidious this variety is an ever
green.
Ranchers can secure as many as
they wish by writing the government
experiment station at Indio and ex-
planning their wants.

feels in justice to the Imperial Valley
the same set of tests and experiments
should be carried out here that have
been carried out in the Coacheila
Valley, where success has met the eff
forts of the government.
The ten acres will be improved by
the government, buildings will be con
structed and hundreds of date cuttings
will be transplanted.
At the end of the experimental
stage, whenever this is deemed past
by the government. the farm will be

Tomorrow Afternoon to Wit

Contests at Los Angeles;
Attractive Program is Ar
ranged.

LOS ANGELES, March 20.-A
heavy attendance of racing enthusiasts
from all over Southern California Is
exnected at the races to be held on
Los Angeles new Beverly Hills speed
way this coming Sunday afternoon
These will be the fastest contests yel
staged on any speedway, the most
famous drivers in America having en-
tered the competition, which Will con-
sist of a series of three 50-mlle sprlnts.
The great stars Of the "Ioarmg ROAD
game have conspired with mallce
aforethought to smash to smlthereenS
every short-distance speedway record
now on the books, and it looks as II
they had a good chance for success.
Sensational as wa sthe recent open
ing race, it did not contain one-tenth
the number of thrills that the much
faster 50-mile dashes will provide. So
dizzy will be the speed attained, that
only eight cars will be allowed on the
track at one time. There will be two
heats, the eight fastest drivers OF
the lot tangling in the final. Speed
such as has never yet been seen on
any speedway in the country will be
the result. Only the pilots who drive
wide open" from red to checkered
checkered flag have chance to WIN;
never yet have these famous dare
devils entered contest that was SO
truly a race with death. for the speed
will be so excessive and the competl-
ton so close that every pilot In the
race will be taking chances such as
he never took before.
Out-of Los Angeles enthusiasts who
were prevented from seeing the first
races on account of their double post
ponement and bad weather are send
ing in tickt orders by the hundreds
to the B. NJ. Dyas company, Los Ar
geles. which is handling the seat sale
for the coming speedway attraction
Many repeat orders are also being
received from fans who saw the open
ing race and want more.
Final practices constitute the pro-
Crane of preparations on the speed
way this week. Eddie Pulien, Art
Klein, Tommy Milton and Joe Boyer
the four pilots who provided the most
hair raising thrill sand the keenes'
battles for the well-known pole II
the opening race, are out to stage 8
comeback. All four were forced out
of the opening race on account or me-
chanical troubles. With this quarte'
of wild men fighting for revenge ant
Jimmy Murphy and Joe Thomas cas-
in the role of first and second place in
cumbents, not to mention Ralph d.
Palma who also figures he can stag
a surprise, the competition will be fas
and furious enough to thrill into ever
the most blaze spectator.
All the pilots are agreed that Il
will be the fastest race in which they
ever put foot to throttle. Eddie Pull
len estimates the probable speed aver
age at 10S miles an hour, Klein ant
Boyer say it will be nearer 109, while
the veteran De Palma, conservative
at estimates if there ever was one
declares it will be 110 miles an hour
a hitherto unheard of rate of swift
ness for short-distance speedway con
tests.
The Los Angeles fans are predict
ing all sorts of thingssfor Sunday
races, and it looks as if they would
draw even bigger crowd than tha
of opening day.

GIVE TEACHERS
MORE MONEY PLEA
OPT. ASSOCIATION

The sentiment, general throughout
the country, that the teaching profes-
sion should receive better compensa-
ton. crystallized into something tang
ible in Imperial Tuesday evening,
when the Parent Teachers Associa-
ton, in p.onthly session, passed reso.
lutions favoring a minimum salary of
$1,000 per year for teachers Of the
elementary schools in the county, and
p minimum salary of $500 per year
for the high school teachers.
The resolutions follow:
Whereas, Many teachers have left
the profession and the enrolment in
the normal schools of the country is
below normal, thus creating serious
shortage Of teachers. and
Whereas, The cost of living has in
creased very materially within the
past few months, thus creating a ser
ious situation for those employed on
a salary, and
Whereas. The increase in the pay
of teachers has not kept pace with
the increased cost Of living, now
therefore
Be it resolved: That the Parent
Teachers Association favors any ac-
ton by the board of trustees of the
Imperial schools which will secure for
the teachers of the elementary schools
of Imperial county minimum salary
of 5000 per year and for the teachers
of the high schools a minimum salary
of $500 per year.
Be it further resolved; That We
! favor much large county school
fund and we request the board of sup
ervisors of Imperial county to make a
county tax rate sufficient to make a
minimum of $1,000 possible through
out Imperial county.
