MADE BOAT FROM SIDE CAR
liable Use for his Motorcycle
Attachment.

On the opening day Of the duck sea-
son at Baldwin Lake, CAL. last fall. u
strange craft was sighted in the ell
grass OF the shooting grounds. Its
occupant was known to have ridden
a motorcycle In more than $50 miles
of mountain and desert road, and then
to have been so unfortunate as to find
all the boats gone. When he came in
that night with his limit Of birds, 1t
was seen that he had made q queer
but efficient duck boat out of his
motorcycle side car.
Wood plugs closed the bolt holes
where it was removed from the frame,
and can of pitch, judiciously applied,
sealed all possible leaks. Rock ballast
OF some sixty pounds steadied the
somewhat cranky craft, and its in
conspicuousness aided the ingenious
sportsman in securing an unusual bag
of birds. SO well pleased was he with
the adventure that now he cOntem-

sALTON SEA is DISAPPEARING

for Agriculture

An inland sea which. according to
BIOLOGISTS. las changed from sea to
desert. and back again % sea. at least
nifty times since its inception. is one
OF the wonders Of the Imperial valley
IN California. AT the present time the
Salfon sea. which Is 100 feet below
the oceans level. is receding from It's
banks at the rate Of approximately
mile year. Today the sea Is Is
miles long and nine miles wide AT its
widest point. In the heat OF the tor
rid season the temperature In its
neighborhood is from 10 to 20 degrees
cooler than that OF the surrounding
country and outdoor dances are held
ON one of the abandoned fish-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
incrustei 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.

NEVER LET GO OF SUITCASE
Former Congressman on Visit to
France, Proved Himself Superior
to Adverse Circumstances.

Dudley Doolittle. who used to be In
congress from Kansas. recently re-
turned from Europe, where he went on
a secret mission for the United States
government.
While in France, Mr.. DOolittle had
the unusual experience Of roaming
around several hundreds of battlefields
with seventy,six-pound suitcase
clasped firmly In his arms. Shortly
after Doolittle landed In Paris, and
just before he started for the battle
fields, the handle broke of his suit
case. which contained a number Of
valuable documents and papers which
were almost as heavy as hardware
samples. There was no porter around
to help Doolittle into his automobile,
nor was there any around during the
ensuing ten days Of his trip. There
fore, there was nothing for him to do
but to clasp the suitcase firmly to his
chest and get the best view Of the bat
tlefields that he could from behind the
obstruction.
Doolittle says that he got so used to
viewing war scenes from behind the
suitcase that in order to enjoy movies
Of the war now he has TO take min
iature doghouse to the motion picture
theaters with him and hold it on his
lap throughout the performance.
