SALTON SEA is DISAPPEARING
Possibility That the Land 1t Has Cow
cred Will Be Soon Available
for Agriculture.

An inland sea which, according to
biologists. has changed from sea to
desert, and mack again to sea, at least
fifty times since its inception, is one
of the wonders of the Imperial valley
in California. AT the present time the
SaIton sea. which is 100 feet below
the oceans level, is receding from its
banks at the rate of approximately
mile a year Today the sea is 1S
miles long and nine miles wide at its
widest point. In the heat of the tor
rid season the temperature in its
neighborho0d is from 10 10 20 degrees
cooler than that of the surrounding
country and outdoor dances are held
on one of the abandoned hSh-piers
left high and dry by the receding wa
tiers. The Salton sea is situated in
the very heart of the principal date
producing region of America. The
land left bare by the retreating wa
tiers is eagerly sought by agricultur-
lists. who stake their claims far out
into the water in anticipation Of fur
ther recessions. The soil Is of salt
incrusted adobe clay and very fertile
Mud volcanoes, miniature geysers and
bubbling 'paintpots" attract many
tourists to the spot. The quality of
the volcanic "paintpots" Is declared
to rival the best European sienna and
umber. Utilization of this new-found
color supply may soon render the con-
tinuation of European imports OF such
pigment unnecessary.

SOUVENIR OF SACRED SOIL
FROM vITRY-LE-FRANcoIs.
peopIe of French Town Express In
Touching Way Their Gratitude
to American Defenders.

New York.-Mr. John d. Rockefeller,
Jr. has received from Miss Monica
Moore, one Of the very efficient trained
nurses whom the Rockefeller Commits
sion for the Prevention of tuberculosis
in France has had in the field since
the outset of the world war letter of
appealing interest and sentiment. Fol
lowing is an extract from Miss Moore's
recital of a recent experience:
81 want to tell you now of very
pretty thing heard of at Vitry-le-Fran-
co.'s. The marie presented us-Dr.
Wyatt and myself-a little box made
from the earth of the battlefelds OF
Champagne. Before the separation
vitry-le-Francois was in the province
of Champagne. 1t seems that there
were about 10000 American boys fight
ing near there. great many were
wounded and about 20 killed. The peo-
ple of the town wanted to show the
wounded boys their appreciation and
love. and so they had these little Jars
made of the earth of the battlenelds
for them to take home as souvenirs.
They were hoping that the boys would
be able TO take one home to each fami-
" that had lost a son, and in these
jars they planned 70 place some OF the
earth from the graves of the fallen.
They felt that it was the most sacred
gift they could send the mothers, made
from the earth that the boys had
fought for and filled with the earth for
which they had died and which now
covers them. But unfortunately the
boys went home before the jars were
made. and so that group of Americans
never realized the deep love and ap-
probation the French of Vitry-le-
Francois have for them.
"When the American government
wrote asking what the cost would be
for the upkeep of the graves the town
of vitry replied by requesting that the
town of Vitry-le-Francois be allowed
to meet all those expenses. that they
would consider It sacred and pre-
cious duty to care for the graves of
the hoys who had given their lives for
them. They were deeply disappointed
when the American government an
swered that this could not be done,
that America had to care for their OVID
graves"

RHODE ISLAND WILL
TEST PROHIBITION
Supreme Court Gives the State
Permission to Bring a Suit
Attacking Amendment.

Washington.-The Supreme Court
decided to pass on the validity Of both
the Federal Prohibition Amendment
and the act Of Congress prescribing the
manner of its enforcement.
The courts decision will be rendered
on proceedings to be begun by the
state Of Rhode Island, which received
permission TO bring an original suit.
In briefs filed in support of the mo-
ton the Rhode Island authorities al
legged that the amendment was an in
reference with the state police powers
and a violation of the Fifth Constitu-
tional Amendment. They also alleged
that the amendment was "usurpatory,
unconstitutional and void"
The state of Ohio asked the Supreme
Court to expedite consideration Of ap-
peals brought by George S. Hawke, an
attorney of Cincinnati, to determine
the validity of the Ohio constitutional
referendum amendment.
The question was involved in two
proceedings Instituted to enjoin state
officials from submitting the Federal
Prohibition and Suffrage Amendments
to a referendum vote in November, on
the ground that the referendum amend
ment was invalid. The trial court held
that that state amendment was CON
stitutiOnal, and it was upheld by the
state supreme court.

And II IL Wasn't.

The man who had served through
out the war as private In the base
hospital at Anglers was loud In his
scorn of a neighbor who hadn't gone
into the service at all. A friend let
him rave on till the Anglers soldier
had used the word Stacker. Then he
said:
That's right, give 1t to him. All he
did during the war was hang on to
nice soft job as testing pilot for the
Curtiss people. All he had to do was
to fly each machine long enough to
see if it was safe for one of our avi-
ators."-The Home Sector.

The advantage Of storing coal under
water, where deterioration is much
less than in the air, has been amply
proved. 1t is recognized that the gases
concealed in the pores of the coal
oxygen in particular-are responsible
for both heating and deterioration,
and their escape should be prevented
as far as possible.
