RADIO river. There is no authentic rec
ord of further explorations until over
200 years had elapsed. In 1915 two
franciscan friars, in their attempt to
find the shortest way to the Pacific,
went from Santa Fe to Utah Lake. The
Great Salt Lake, however, was not dis
covered until 1924 when James
Bridges, trapper, in wandering
through this region came upon this
huge, inland, salt sea.
But the real history of Utah begins
with the rise of Mormon power there.
Discouraged by the agitation in Illinois
and Missouri, the Mormons decided to
emigrate to the great West. In large
caravans they travelled across the
plains and in 1917 came to Salt Lake
City where they settled. Here they
tlOurished, increasing their numbers
and by 1852 they reached total in
this vicinity Of over $4,000. Meanwhile,
in 1913, by the terms of the treaty Of
peace with Mexico, a huge western
tract, of which Utah was a part, was
coded to the United States. AS no
definite government was arranged for,
the control of affairs locally was for
q number of years entirely in the
hands of the officers Of the Mormon
church. They, accordingly, made up
a constitution and organized under
the name of the State of Deseret. This

plication was made for admission to
the Union, but this was refused and
the federal government instead organ
lied the Territory of Utah in 1850. The
first governor was Brigham Young the
successor Of Joseph Smith and presi-
dent of the Mormon church.
The attempt to do away with polyg-
amy met with little success until In
1890 the Mormon church finally agreed
not to countenance it. Meanwhile,
growing antagonism between the Nor
mons and non-Mormons verged nearly
on civil war. Finally a general am
nesty was declared and after many re-
quests Utah was accepted as the for
ty-fifth state of the Union in 1896.

explorations in Wyoming but they
seem unfounded by fact. Probably the
first white men to visit this part Of
the country were Sieur de la Veren-
deze, and his sons who passed through
this region in 1743 in search of loca-
lions for trading posts. In 1904 the
Yellowstone was first visited by hunt
ers, although the fame of it's scenic
beauty was not given much credence
until 1870 and it was set aside as q
federal reserve in 1872.
The first permanent fort in Wyo-
ming was erected in 1884 where the
Laramie river flows into the Platte.
Later when the stream of immigrants
passed through this region on their
way to the California gold fields q
string Of forts was erected along the
Oregon Trail to protect the travellers
from attacks by the hostile Sioux In
dams.
Through Wyoming went not only the
Oregon Trail, which was opened up
by Lieutenant Fremont and his guide,
Kit Carson, in 1912, but also the
Salt Lake trail. Along these
routes many travellers crossed Wyo-
ming, but few stopped and settled
there as the country was the most
| arid Of all our states. The discovery
of gold in 1867 led to the founding Of
South Pass City and in the same year
Cheyenne was laid out by the Union
Pacific Railroad company.
Wyoming became the fOrty-fourth
state Of the Union in 1890 and is
eighth In size with an area Of 1894

LAND FOR CANADIAN SOLDIERS

The forest reserves held by the Ca nadian federal government and all sit uated in the West, comprise an area of approximately 27,5OO,OOO acres, and consist of tracts of land unsuitable for agriculture which have been set apart permanently for forest production. At the request of the soldier settlement board areas totalling about 4SO,OOO acres were withdrawn from the re- serves in order to be made available for soldier settlement. For the most part these areas consist of small tracts of few hundred acres, withdrawn from a number of different reserves. Only in the cases of the Riding moun- tain and Porcupine reserves were the areas larger, about 220,0O0 acres be- ing withdrawn from the former and about 24O,OO0 acres from the latter.

BRETON HAS NEW TELEPHONE

A new telephonic device already in actual use in England is the larynga- phone, transmitter in which disk is placed against the throat Of the speaker and the sound is transmitted by the vibration of the vocal chords, says a London dispatch to the New York Tribune. It is suitable for use In noisy factories and workrooms where the ordinary telephone mouth piece transmitter would pick up the other sounds in the room and so pre- vent conversation.
 Tn appearance the laryngaphone re- sembles the ordinary telephone except that there is smooth rounded rub her disk instead of mouthpiece. The receiver is the same and the messages are received in the ordinary speaking voice.

ENGLISH LENTEN CUSTOMS

Though many ancient customs are rapidly disappearing in England, sev- eral old and quaint usages of the Lenten period are still preserved. Mid-Lent Sunday. sometimes called "Mothering Sunday" is kept as kind of festival in various sections. The term "Mothering Sunday" arose from the country custom of allowing lads and lassies in service away from home to take the day off In order that they might visit their mothers. It was usual for such young people to carry a cake as a present to the mother, but nowadays the present is generally some inexpensive purchased article of no particular significance. In Shrop- shire, however. not only do they still take a simnel cake, as of old, but also the first violets of the year. which gives rise to the local saying, "whO goes a-mothering finds violets in the lane"

VOLCANIC FIRES IN ALASKA

At meeting of the American So- ciety for the Advancement of Science, Dr. Robert F. Griggs described a fiery flood which occurred in Alaska, in the "Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" Here he found traces of the flood of fire which, issuing from a Assure in the earth, swept roaring torrent of molten sand through the fertile valley, devastating all in its path for a dis tance of more than 15 miles. From thousands of Assures live steam, heat ed gas and smoke issued. One could do ones cooking in any of the smaller holes. And that was the only salva- tion of the expedition, for all fuel had been destroyed by the flood of fire. It is only few steps from the steaming Assures to cave in the side of glacier in order to have the most per feet refrigeration in the world. The explorers tents were steam heated, as 1t were, and the bathing conditions were of the best for a stream from the glacier fed crystal pure lake and fin the middle of the lake steam jet bubbled and it was possible to get any desired temperature.-Scien Amer ican.

BUDDHIST PRIESTS TAME FISH

There is a certain bend of certain river in Burma, where the fish are venerated, tanned, treated as pets and called to meals by priests. Just why this particular bend of this special river should be so signally set apart Is not known, but as these priests are Buddhists there is perhaps connsc. ton between this favoritism and the fact that in every land where Bud dhism is the faith, there are certain places dedicated to Buddha, and strange superstitions woven about the place. These fish are a species of cat Ash which grow to a large size, and they swim to the bank when called. The priests not only feed the fish, but they pet them as we do a dog or cat. Some are 50 tame they do not even squirm in fright when they are picked out of the water and gently handled.

LIBRARIES IN HISTORY

Harvard college led the way in America to the first library. This in- stitution was established in 1888. Six ty years later, in HOO, a public library was founded in New York city. The following year the Yale library was founded and in 1781 Benjamin Frank lin started subscription library in Philadelphia, the first of It's kind in America. The United States library. now called the library of congress, was established in 1900, but in 1874 1t was burned by the British. It was rebuilt and now contains nearly 2,0O0,- 900 volumes, and is one of the finest in the world. AS far back as 64O B. O., the first public library known to the world was founded at Athens. England's first library was established at St. Andrews in 1411.-Chicagc Journal.

THE SEVEN SEAS IN ITALY

The Seven seas (Septen Maria) are extensive lagoons of salt water in northern Italy, generally separated from the Adriatic by narrow strips of sand or embankments, partly nat ural and partly artificial, but having openings which admit the influx and effiux of the sea water. and serve as ports for communication with the mainland. The best known and the most extensive of these lagoons is that in which Venice is situated, which extends from Torcello in the north to ChiOggia and Brondolo in the south, distance of over forty miles. These lagoons formerly were much more ex- tensive, and afforded continuous means of internal navigation from Ra- venna to Altinum, few miles north of Torcello. That city, like Ravenna, originally stood in the midst of la ROOD.

UNDER POWERFUL PROTECTION

On a transcontinental Santa Fs train we saw two interesting kiddies, boy of three and q girl of six, who were bound from Albuquerque, N. M.. to Omaha. The little girl wore . stout manila envelope pinned to her frock, with the ticket inclOsed. On the outside of the envelope were their names. parents names and des- tination, and some few odd charac- ters, which showed they were children of a member of one of the worlds mlghtiest fraternities. Many train men belong to 1t, and in every car full of people you will see several more who are entitled to wear 1t but don't These symbols would have carried the children from Uz to Tmbuctoo, or any. where in the civilized world, in as ab- solute safety as men could furnish, and in every car they met men who would have risked their lives for them if necessary.-Kingston Journal.

TRAVELLING BY STAGE COACH

A poster advertising overland stage San Diego, Calif., in 1860, has been found, which makes interesting read ing these days of fast and palatial rail accommodation. Overland to the Pacific" is the heading attracting pub lie attention to the line. The poster calls attention to the fact that this line has been in successful operation for three years, and will convey pas sengers fin new coaches drawn by six mules over the entire length of our line, excepting the Colorado desert of 100 miles, which we cross on mule back"
 According to the advertisement coaches left semi-monthly from each end, trips being started on the 9th and 24th of the month at 6 a. m. At tention was called to the fact that an armed escort accompanied the coach "for the protection of the mails and the passengers through the Indian country" It was stipulated that pas sengers were provided with food dur ing the trip, except where the coach stopped at public houses enroute, when the passenger was expected to pay for his own meals. The fare between San Antonio and San Diego was $20O, with less amounts charged between those stations and other points. such as Fort Clark, Tucson and Fl Paso, while it was announced that the fare to intermediate stations was 15 cents n mile.

THOREAU SPEAKS OF WHITMAN

He said that I misapprehended him. I am not quite sure that do. He told us that he loved to ride up and down Broadway all day on an omnibus, sit ting beside the driver, listening to the roar of the carts, and sometimes ges- ticulating and declaiming Homer at the top of his voice. He has long been an editor and writer for the news papers-was editor of the New Orleans Crescent" once; but now has no employment but to read and write in the forenoon and walk in the after noon, like all the rest of the scrib- bling gentry.-"Henry David Tho reau," by F.

BE SQUARE WITH YOURSELF

The habit of making excuses to your self and accepting them will soon undermine your intellectual stamina and begin to sap your moral fiber.
 Be square with, yourself at least. Tell yourself the truth, and take no excuses whatever
 List your faults and your failures, and blame yourself for them. List your bad habits, and try to get rid of them. Admit that 1t was incidence that made you let job go over till 1t was too late to do it, and bad tenn per and not bad health that made you peevish with people who had a right to expect cheerfulness and courtesy from you.
 Be your own severe but just judge. Make no excuses and take none. And you will soon find that you will need to make none, for you will have no derelictions to excuse.-John Blake in the Chicago Daily News.

 Today Miss Ruby Lowitski is to give a reading during the regular Normal morning chapel period" Chris topher and Columbus" is the title of the piece. The story is one that be- sides being educational has many comical parts and portrays some beau tiful pictures of life.
 Mir. Drake has started organizing the boys basket ball team for this year. Last night was the first meet ing of the fellows and there were ten men out with suits on to the first con test for a place on the team.
 There will not be any boys games until after Christmas, but they are go- ing to try to get an earlier start so that they will not be so much handi- capped as they were in preparing for the football season.
 Wednesday morning Miss Lintz and her students in intelligence testing, tested the children in the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades of the training school, using the national intelligence tests.
 The men of the faculty are plan ming an assault upon the neighboring duck ponds, hoping to gather in enough of the wary birds for facul- ty dinner, some time next week.
 Physics, geology, mathematics and such may be all right in their places. They may apply to astronomy, teach ing school or something to that ef- feet, but when it comes to shooting ducks we would advise that they leave them tricks at home and not let a duck get away because it won't line up with another and make it possible to kill them both with one shot. Low CT your sights, Mir. Gunter, and try again; the ducks will learn by and by.
 To Miss Martha Dewey is awarded the long distance dressing champion ship of the Normal faculty and a lot of others. Miss Dewey while return ing from the institute at Phoenix on the night train, slept in her berth un- til the train arrived at Flagstaff. The train only waits here for ten minutes or less, but aside from the loss of a few articles of dress, Miss Dewey won.

PEACOCK FEATHERS DISLIKED

Peacock feathers are looked upon as unlucky in many countries. Their mere possession is reputed to be . harbinger of misfortune to the owner. Every kind of loss will have to Dc sustained by the occupiers of the house they adorn, including illness and death, and many country people, even now, would be horrified if any one were to bring under a roof one or more of these feathers. It is further said that children will never be healthy in rooms adorned with these iri- descent plumes, and that 1t is the most unlucky thing in the world to give as a plaything to the youngsters.

DRESS AND INSURANCE RATES

Swiss women who wear short skirts and lOw-necked gowns will have to pay higher rates of life insurance than those who do not The Swiss insurance companies have announced that in fix ing the premiums on policies of wom- ems lives they will take into considera- ton the women's wearing apparel. The shorter the skirt or lower the decol- lete, the higher the insurance rate will be.
 The Swiss companies justify this ac- tion on the ground of great increase of illness and disease among their women clients which they claim is due to the wearing of short skirts and low. necked dresses.

HAVE ABJECT BELIEF IN FATE

In the Koran is found the idea that on the brow of every human being are inscribed invisible characters which decree the events of his life and his appointed time. The first Is termed "Kismet," the second "Edjel." From this belief springs unquestioned sub mission to the decrees of fate. Death Is considered by Moslems terrible only in the abstract and when viewed from distance. In polite society 1t is nev- CT mentioned save under some poet ical name. "Cupbearer of the sphere" is one of the more common phrases. And never Is 1t mentioned except when prefaced by the words Far be it from you"

most any plot of ground; pepper grass and mustard should be sown early so that it may be used with lettuce as salad. Spinach, chard and sorrel, as well as other weed plants, are all wholesome cooked for greens.
 A platter of lamb chops garnished with a generous border of water cress may be eaten with only sprinkling of salt.
 Dandelion greens found under leaves or pieces of wood are white, tender and especially delicious dressed with olive oil and vinegar with bit of chopped onion.
 The tender young onions (the multi pliers), are the earliest, full of mineral salts and vitamines needed to tone up the system.
 The poke in the South, the milkweed stalks, just as they appear, make most delicious eating; for asparagus lovers the milkweed makes dish which will appeal, for 1t Is very similar to 1t.
 Dock and wild mustard make very good cooked greens, While the sneep sorrel, so common in field and pasture. Is another.
 For simple lettuce salad there is no dressing which can take the place of the French dressing but one which has the French dressing for basis with other highly seasoned vegetables will make pleasant variety such as: 1:

Garnlsh with thickly sliced red radishes and serve with a well-seasoned French dressing passed with the salad. The blanched leaves of early dandelion may be used in place of the water cress, making a most attractive and tasty salad.
