Sunset Colors.

The gorgeous sunset colors are due 10 the red light which is transmitted through the cloudy sky and is the re- verse of the blue of the sky. Water ! Ia. apparently blue In itself when one looks through a sufficiently long layer. If, however, there were nothing to re- fleet the light back, the water would, of course, look black, and certain lakes do show exactly this phenomenon. If there is small amount of refecting particles the water looks blue. With more suspended particles a certain amount of yellow is sent back, and the water becomes green. In the tropics the water is an intense blue, except near the shore, where 1t becomes an almost equally intense green.
 The water of the Rhone where 1t flows out of the Lake of Geneva is blue, while the Rhine of Strasbourg is green, and we find that the Rhine contains 70 per cent more suspended calcium carbonate than the Rhone. Sometimes the water in a swimming tank will be green. This is due to sus- pended solids in the water. The same effect can occasionally be obtained in a porcelain-lined bathtub. The clear brown brooks that one finds in many places in New England owe their color to the presence of brown material of the nature of tannin, so this would really be a pigment color and not structural one.-Scientific American.

Tie dwelling Is the headquarters of tl!e farm business. Chores are done before breakfast and often after sup per, the stock need close attention, certain farm seeds are kept in the house, the hired man may sleep there, and the women folks take care of the poultry; thus 1t is almost essential that the house be reasonably close to the other buildings.
 The value of the house constitutes an important part of the real estate value of the farm, says the United States department of agriculture. On the higher-priced corn-belt farms and the low-priced cotton-belt farms the valle of the dwelling represents from

AMERICAN RED CROSS
 TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and Community Welfare Is Now
 Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns of less than 5000 population benefit in very large part by the public health and community welfare work of the Ameri- can Red, Cross. Almost all of the $500 Red Cross chapters have some rural sections in their territory. There fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
 Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv- ice is to assist people to get out of life more health, wealth and happiness. In this purpose public health instruction and general educational progress of both children and adults play a big part.
 Recreation Is found to be one of the biggest needs in rural life. There Is lack of sufficient play-life for the chill dren and social life for. the adults. Picnics, pageants, debating clubs, baseball leagues, community singing and other social events which bring the people of surrounding communities together have been organized and car ried on under the guidance of Red Cross rural workers to great advan- tage. In many instances solving rec reational problems and getting people together proves to be the awakening of the community to other conditions which may be improved by united action.
 AS a result of community organiza- tfon, townships in which there had been neither plans nor interest in community progress have been organ ized to work together with the unified purpose of bringing their community up to the most enlightened standards. Lecture and musical entertainment courses have been started as a result of community meetings, as well as cir culating libraries, Red Cross schools of instruction in Home Nursing, Care of the Sick and First Aid. In the larger towns the need for restrooms and pub lie comfort stations is being met. Play grounds for the children have been established and recreational activities worked out for the year.
 In order that there may be concerted effort in carrying on the programs of the various welfare agencies in the rural districts, Red Cross Rural Serv- ice helps the organizations already on the ground. The main object of the service is to lend a hand everywhere and take the lead only where neces- sary.

JONAH MERELY A MOUTHFUL
Monster Fish Recently Caught at MI. ami, Fla. Could Have Accommo-
 dated Twenty Prophets.

Was Jonah swallowed by a whale1 According to the biblical story it was . fish of this nature that entertained the prophet in it's interior for three days and nights, but the limited size of ahe whales throat precludes the possi- foilfty of its swallowing a man.
 However, there was caught at Mi ami. Fla, recently, fish that could have lunched on 20 Jonahs without suffering the slightest pang of indiges- fdon, and among the many persons who have seen the fish are clergymen who have formulated the theory that 1t was really a fish of this species that swal- lowed Jonah.
 Here is the way this denizen of the deep shapes up in the way of dimen- isfonal figures: The net weight of the nsh, when caught, not including it's last meal, was 5000 pounds. Its liver alone touched the beam at 1,70O pounds, which is about the weight of n hefty bullock. From end to end it measures 45 feet which is equal to the bsombined length of eight normal men. At the thickest part the circumfer- snce is 23 feet inches.
 One of the most impressive features ef the fish Is its month, which is 90 Inches wide and 43 inches deep. In- Ede of the mouth is a tongue 40 inches, and 1t has 8 multitude of teeth much smaller than a baby's. Nobody has ever attempted to count these molars. Hhe tail resembles the caudal append age of an airplane and measures 10 feet from tip to tip.
 But big as the fish Is, 1t died in in- 1ancy. Scientists who have measured its cartilaginous formations say they are far from developed and that had this monster attained full growth it would have been two and a half times as large as it is now.
 According to the scientists of the Smithsonian institution the animal is . whale-shark, and Is the first speci- men of its kind that has been captured They state further that 1t is an inhabi- tant' of water of 1,50O feet depth. its hide of sufficient thickness to with stand the most enormous water pres sure, and its eyes, which have no lids and consequently were never closed, Indicating that it dwelt as depth where eyes are of no avail.
 The Smithsonian scientists believe that it was thrown up by some subter- Fanean volcanic disturbance, which in- 1ured its diving apparatus so that 1t was unable to return to its natural levels and that thus disabled 1t strayed beyond confines fixed for the mon- sters of the deep.
 Capt Charles H. Thompson of Mi ami. caught the fish while cruising for tarpon off Knights key, Florida New York Independent.

RED CROSS RELIEF
 IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance of the American Red Cross during the last year, large proportion of the 2O,0OO,- 900 population of the Balkan States might have starved or perished from disease or exposure. Six million dol lars worth Of food, clothing and medi- cal supplies have been sent to the Bal kans-Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece since the beginning of Red Cross re- lief operations in Central Europe, while millions of dollars worth of food alone has been sent to the needy in these states.
 The money expended by the Red Cross in this stricken portion of Flu rope has been used to set up hospitals, orphanages, dispensaries, mobile medi- cal units and to help in the general re- construction of devastated areas Amer iican tractors and other farming imple- ments have been sent to the agricul- tural regions where aid has been giv- en in blowing the land.
 By the last Of this year probably all American Red Cross agencies ad- ministering relief in Central Europe will have withdrawn. By that time, 1t Is believed, the people will have ap- preached a normal state of living and will be able through their own agencies which the Red Cross has helped set - | -y-=.;..s fer themselves.

HIGH PRICES FOR EGGS

Here are some of the ways: Select pure breeds that lay more or larger eggs, such as the White Leghorns, Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds or Orpingtons.
 Give better care, food and shelter. with dry, clean, vermin- proof nests.
 Confine males except in breed ing season.
 Collect eggs frequently, espe- cially in hot or muggy weather. Store eggs in a dry, clean, cool place.
 Use small and dirty eggs at home.
 Market frequently, with pro- tection at all times from heat. Sell for cash on a basis of size and quality, 'loss off," instead of cease count"
 Use an attractive package. Combine shipments as a mat ter of economy.

ALAsxAhs ger TOGETHER

The specious plea for Republican votes made by MT. Grigsby, the Dem- oczatic candidate from Alaska. on the ground that he would join National Committeeman J. c. Mcbride in re- comtnending Republicans for territor- iai positions has been properly rebulx- cd. The attempt to create dissention among Republicans by swing the im- precision that the Democratic delegate to congress had working agreement with the Republican national com mitteeman on the distribution of ap- polntive ofIices in the territory has met with little success. MT. Mcbride utterly repvdiates any such purported agreement and announces ernphatical. ly that there is the i,est of feeling and the closest harmony between him and the Republican candidate for delegate Senator Dan A. Sutherland.
 In his opening campaign speech al Juneau several weeks ago Mr. Griss. by sought to convs1 the impression that Senator Sutherland and J. c.

pubiicans could look to him for help. He promised to recommend Republi- cans for territorial positions when Warren G. Hnrdins takes once and to go along In pleasant compnnionss,iT with tho Republican organization. f The fret that Committeeman Nc. Bride has vigorously repudiated the charge of lack of harmony and the suggestion tlsat he hns some under. saandins with Mir. Grissby. the Demo- cratic candidate. Is q hopeful sign. Il indicates a seA-tosether spirit amons Alaskan Republicans which is certain to strengthen the party in the terri tory. In a public statement In North. ern newzpapers MT. Mcbride says:
 '.I wish to state at this time thai Mir: Sutherland. the Republican nom- inee for delegate to congress. and my self are in accord and that perfect harmony prevails. and when Senator
 Harding takes once as president oi the United stntes of America, 1fArch [ neut, no Democrat will be consulted by me regarding the distribution of of- fces in Alaxica.
 "rn this attempt of Mr. Gs1ssby to create distrust and dissension In the Republican party, and to cAst donbt on my loyalty to my party and my duty to support its candidate. I nnuss earnestly appeal to all Republicans and other good citisens In Alaala to rally around Mir.

 Elsewhere in the country there fe no division in the Republican i.arty, no anta.sonfs,ic sroups working at cross-pnrposes. rast differences have been forgotten. and this year the rarty win present united front to the op- position.
