PREHISTORIC RACE In
UTAH PROBABLY IRRIGATED

OGDEN, Utah.-Belief that the anci-
emit jewellers Of Utah used water for
irrigation purposes is held by forestry
officials here as the result of the re-
cent unearthing in the Sewer forest i'll
southern Utah of what is said to be a
stone pipe line.
Discovery of the pipe line was made
in 1917 by two forest rangers whc
went to France with the American
forces and did not report their find
until they returned recently from over
seas. Forestry officials then looked
into the matter and they say, from
observations made, that the pipe line
probably was used to carry water for
domestic purposes also. The relics
will be turned over to the University
of Utah archaeological department, it is
said

MEET ETHYL And
METHYL ALCOHOL
Two Most Prominent and Inter-
esting Members of the
Family.
MANY OFFSPRINGS ARE KNOWN
Difference Between Grain and Wood
Alcohol Clearly escribed-F atal-
tiles Due to Amateur Attempts
to Make Grain Alcohol

Chicago--While there are seventeen
chemistry, there are two of general
commercial use in the country-ethyl
alcohol or ordinary alcohol, the kind
we used to be able to buy for medici-
nal purposes" and methylated spirit,
or industrial alcohol, which is popular
ly called wood alcohol" and which
does contain an amount of that fluid.
Ethyl or ordinary alcohol is formed
by the spirituous or alcoholic fermen-
tation of saccharine juices. The fer
mentaton must be completed before it
is distilled. 1t is made from grain,
also known as grain alcohol. The
formula is ca H. OH.
Methylated spirit, or industrial alco-
hol is made of ninety parts of ordi-
nary alcohol and ten parts of wood
alcohol-methyl alcohol.
Source of Wood Alcohol.
Wood alcohol is obtained by the dry
distilIation of wood. The common
method of obtaining this is to take
cordwoOd which has been seasoned for
about two years-beech maple, and
birch are best-place it in iron or steel
retorts over slow fire. The intensity
of the fire is gradually increased as the
distillation progresses. until at the end
of from twelve to eighteen hours moth
ing remains in the retOrt but charcoal
The distillate is passed through a
condenser. and the liquid thus gath
cred is allowed to set in tanks until
the greater part of the tarry matter
in it has subsidized. The lighter part is
then drawn off and saturated with
slaked lime to fix the acetic acid 1t
is then distilled a second time and the
distiIlate sent to the retineries as wood
alcohol Sawdust or any woody fiber
or cellulose can be used in place of
cordwood.
Wood alcohol. either in its pure form
or as an ingredient of industrial alco-
hol, is a poison. and has Il selective
action upon the optic nerve, in which
it often induces condition of perma-
nent atrophy which results in total
blindness.

Harding to Seek
Opinions Of Many
Men and Women
Conferences During Present
Week to Include Some of
Most Prominent Lead
ers in Country.

Marion, Dec. l2.-As he continued
his consultations Oh all asso-
citation of nations, President elect
Harding let it be known that he en-
pected to seek opinions of more than
100 men and women before Inaugural
hon day and that his conference dur
ing the coming week would include
some of the most notable figures in
both political parties.
w. ]. Bryan, Elihu Root and Her
bert Hoover are among those he will
consult virtually at the outset of his
effort to find middle ground on
which divergent schools OF national
thought may unite.
Mr.. Hoover is to be here tomor-
row, Mr.. Root Monday and Mr..
Bryan Friday. From each Mr.. Har-
ding expects to gather much of an
Informative nature as we'll as much
advice on the practical problems of
diplomacy.
The appointment with Mr.. Bryan,
like those of Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
Root was made at Senator Harding
request. Since the league of nations
discussion begun there has been
much talk about the Bryan arbitra-
ton treaties as possible basis fol-
international amity of a broader
scope and it is understood that for
one thing the president-elect is
anxious to hear first hand, about ne
gotiations from which these pacts re-
suited. Mr.. Bryan's advice is ex-
pected to be interesting, in view OF
his active effort to secure ratifca-
tion of the Versailles treaty with
reservations.
Mr.. Roots position as secretary
of state has been buttressed by sew
eral weeks of consultation with lead
ing statesmen of Europe in formu-
lating a world court under the YER
sailles league. Provision for some
such court has been favored by Mr..
as part OF an international
peace movement and the work done
is expected to be one of the principal |
subjects of his talk with Mr.. Root. |

Washington, Dec. l2.-By unani-
nous consent the house late. this
Saturday voted to carry the John
son immigration bill over until Mon
day for final vote on passage.
Consideration OF the bill was con-
Guided, but many members had to
leave. Washington and all wanted to
GO on record either for or against

As finally whipped into shape, the
bill provides for suspension OF al,
immigration for a period OF II
months, two months of which are
left open to immigrants who may
be on ships coming to this country
o: holding passports and waiting Tor
ships at the time of the enactment
of the law. The status of Chinese

interfered with by the bill and all
efforts were defeated to have the
bill provide against Japanese immi-
grafton. 1t was decided by the
house to leave the question OF Japa-
nese immigration to the State de-
partment for settlement with Japan.
Before the bill is through the
house, a vote will be taken or

Cuban Representative Gets
Applause by Asserting AS /

Course of Procedure. I

Geneva, Dec. l2.-The manner Of

hristides Aguero. Cuba; DIR. Welt \
ington Koo, China; A. ]. Balfour,
England, and Edward d. Miller. Au-
stralia, we're the principal partici-
pants.
The Cuban delegate was applaud
ed when he contended that the as
sembly was able to decide for itse.f
what its procedure should be.
Mr.. Balfour said he doubted the
right of this assembly to commit
future assemblies by fixing the term
of membership in the council be-
yond one year or by appointing
members from different parts OF the
world as proposed.
H. Branting, Sweden, held that
the adoption of the clause attribu'-t I
ing three members to Europe and
the Americas and one to Asa
amounted to an amendment of the
covenant. e.,
World disarmament must be
slow and gradual process, the league
commission which has been delib-
Grating on it for more than three
weeks decided. Opinions of leading
members are that neither the polit-
sal situation nor public opinion is yet
lady for full realization of that OBJ
yect. .-
In fact, even beginning reduction
of armaments is not considered pos
sible by the commission at present.
Accordingly the program to be pre-
sented to the assembly is to proceed
in three stages. The first involves
an agreement between the powers to
make. no further increase in arma-
ment. The second will provide a
gradual reduction on a basis to be
laid down by the armament commits
sion. The third will provide for gen-
eral and complete disarmament when
it may be found that the situation
permits it.

Plea for Erin
Addressed to
Head of League
Cablegram Sent by Represent
ative Mason Asks That Truth
About Conditions in Ire
land Be Made Known.
Chicago Tribune -Omaha Bee Leased Wir.

Chicago Tribune-ORAha Bee Leased Wire.
! Washington, Dec. II. - A cable
gram calling upon the league of ma
tons to permit America to know
the truth as to conditions in Ire
land was sent 10 Paul Hymans,
president OF the council of the
league of nations. by Representative
William Z. Mason, Illinois, in his
capacity as member of the house
foreign affairs committee.
Five distinguished, Americans"
the cablegram reads, representing
committee of 100 eminent citizens
of all shades of opinion organized
to study all phases OF the war in
Ireland in the interest of internation-
al understanding and world peace,
obtained passports from the Amer
lean government for visit to Eng
land and Ireland to make first-hand
inquiries.
"The British government has re-
fused vises. America, as evidenced
in the recent election, has little faith
in the league of nations as at present
constituted, believing it dominated
by British and other imperialist gov
ernments for selfish ends.
Can Advance League.
Nevertheless you and your col
leagues at Geneva can do much to
advance the leagues influence with
the common people of the world by
affirming the inviolability of interna-
tional communication of fact and
opinion as the fundamental requisite
of international understanding and
world peace.
"In the present instance. the
league of nations is afforded an ex-
traordinary opportunity to prove to
Americans its freedom from British
domination by inducing the British
government to permit the truth to
be known to America as to condi-
tions in Ireland.
Americans do not accept the is
suances from London as the truth
of the situation, and until the Brit
ish government vouchsafes to the
peoples of the world the right of
free and untrammeled international
communication the people will, in
my opinion, continue to consider
the world as a vast Jail, to which
the British government holds the
keys"
