INAUGURAL BALL WILL BE ATTENDED
BY 900 PERSONS, 1T is ESTIMATED;
NEW MEXICO AUTHORS AND BOOKS

Tickets for the inaugural ball are
being placed on sale throughout
the state and judging from the
reservations already made the Cap
ital City will be thronged with Wis
itors over New Years. 1t is quite
likely that there will be a. gather
ing of political clans at that time
and that there will be making of
political history on the side. Lo-
cally, ball tickets are going well
and first estimates place the prob
able attendance on the dance floor
at 500. The Woman's Board of
Trade, which will have charge Of
the serving of refreshments, is al
ready at work to make this feature
of the ball one to be remembered.
The decorations committee, in
charge of Gerald Cassidy, the art
list, has evolved an artistic dream
that Is being made a reality both
in the ball room at the DeVargas
and in the new museum where the
reception will be held in the after
noon. The executive committee
desires to emphasize that no for
nal invitations will be sent people
in the state. the invitation being
general and intended for every
one. The presence of the cadet
officers from the New Mexico Mil
tary school at Roswell give military
eclat to the events of the day.

"RED EARTH" POEMS BY
SANTA FE WOMEN,

Members of Santa FEES literary

Christmas book shelf in distin-
guished and distinctive way. Fore
most among the volumes of poetry
from press at this time, Is "Red

From the Bay to the Bronx.
But it is forever the same:
There Is no life there.
Watching a cloud on the dest,
Endlessly watching small insects
crawling in and out of the
shadow of cactus,
A herdboy on the horizon driving
goats,
observation-disclosures
Nothing but life on the desert,
Intense life.
This is one of five cantos of "In
the Desert" each In a different
mood. The first, which begins
with: I Isl AxatS
II have seen you, o king of the
dead
More beautiful than sunlight"
is in o vein of high exultation that
conveys a note of personal self
revelation as an overtone to the
fundamental world surge. One
wonders at the mastery crafts
smanship which selects words with
an apparently unerring instinct to
profound visions, all in a short
phase or a single cadence.

vibrates haunting, minor chord
a trembling on the threshold of

of description, preciseness of de-

make the Pueblo and Desert song

n The book, incidentally, is en-
cased in a striking cover of black

tinction in the art world, and have

volume is a companion book to
1.-THE Indian-His Book" which is
a classic on Indian folk tales and
music just as this new publication
records the proverbs, beliefs and
customs, songs and tales. of the
Zulu and other tribes of Africa.
A polished writer as we'll as
talented musician, Mrs. Burlin
brings to her books a deep insight
into the primitive spirit of earth's
children of other races than the
Caucasian. She has recorded and
Transcribed the music of the weird
folk-songs OF the dark continent
for her readers and vests their
mythology with rare charm. She
renders service not only to science
but also creates a literary work of
much interest. Take her opening
sentence to the chapter on africa
and the Africans" which dramati-
eally outlines the relation of the
races of mankind and especially
that of the blacks to the whites:
1.-THE future of the black African,
whether on the dark continent or
in the Americas, is today sharply
silhouetted against that red which
still burns in the sky although the
fires of war are quenched." 1t
compels one to read on. 1t is a
journey really worth while which
the reader takes as he follows Mrs.
Burlin into the heart of the dark
continent. The book is beautifully
arranged and printed with many
attractive illustrations. The print
ing of the music is especially well
done.

From the poem Sunrise on the

the book makes capital reading,

to quaint cowboy lingo. With time,

The discovery was made by a man
who was working with a gas drilling
outfit near Court, Saskatchewan. in
1918. During one of his tours
through the country he came upon
what he thought was a large lake. At
some distance he noticed that~ in
spite Of the high wind which was
blowing the surface of the water was
quite smooth. On closer examination
he found that the lake was. a solid
crystal. 1T tasted like washing soda
and some samples were sent away
for analysis. The government states
that the sample was pure glauber
salts. The lake is as clear as ice and
visitors walked from end to end on
the solid crystal. 1t is about. a mile
long and one thousand yards across.
Test pits showed that the. depth
ranged from, two feet neal. the shore
to eleven feet near the middle. By
putting down a pit in the centre OF
the Jake it was found that it was
fed by a spring which gave forth
strongly impregnated water.

Man Injured IN Separator

Ma,afa Of Thief River Falls. Who was
injured so badly while operating q
threshing machine near Milton two
weeks ago that it was found necessary

Malafa was acting as separator mar
on the Malafa Brothers threshing
outfit and had gone up on top Of the
separator when the thin boards above
the cylinder broke letting him into
the revolving, machinery. The left
leg was so badly ground by the
cylinder teeth that amputation was
found to be absolutely necessary.
