the wight who wakes to find his
person free from aches; he has no
topic and no theme to justify a roar

A song was popular a few years
ago in which the singer confessed
or boosted that he was "the guy"
who added the distinctive quality TO
very nearly everything with which
men r now familiar. One Of the
lines, I believe ran
I'm the guy that put the salt in
the ocean"
1t is In order to ask who put the
salt into Salt Lake? For that lake
was not always salt. There was a
time when what is now Salt Lake
extended over a vastly larger area
and it was an inland sea OF fresh
water.
Two conditions made 1t salt.
First, 1t shrank. and secondly. in
shrinking 1t fell below the level of
its outlet. The insoluble solids that
are found in all bodies OF water
were so diluted before this time as
not TO have seriously affected the
quality of water. But after that,
the rains washed more salt and al
kali into the lake bottom. and the
evaporation left them all there.
The lake shrank and became more
salt, and shrank some more and
became still more salt; and now 1t
it so nearly solid that you cannot

BIG NAVY AND WASTE

By a vote of 1S2 toe the House of Repre-
sentatiyes refused to reduce the appropriation
fer naval construction for the next year and
decided to go on with the three year construc-
rton program which. according to the best naval
authorities. will by 1924 give the United States
a dreadnaught fleet, 81 per cent, stronger than
Great Britain's dreadnaught fleet.
But. when that is accomplished what aiter
all. will we have? If there was any lesson
that we learned from the recent war II was
that naval strength does not consist Of hghtins
ships alone. In the first place. with such an
enormous fleet there must be men to handle
the ships. Warfare today is a matter almost
entirely of science. This is particularly true

O. Is it true that someone once
tried to kill Queen Victoria? c. ID.
A. Records show that there were
three attempts made upon the lie

@. Is the vocabulary of the aver

Of Shakespeare? I. A. A.
A. The vocabulary of the average
man today is not SO varied nor ex-
tensiye as that of Shakespeare, who
used over $4,000 words in his writ
ings. 1t is estimated that the vocab-
ulary of the average educated per-
son of today seldom exceeds $500
words.

tions. In historic times it was pos

@. How much Indian blood must

of the land the government gave the
Indians? X. K.
A. The Bureau of Indian Affairs

REFORMING THE FARMERS MARKET

Efforts Of the Chamber of Commerce 10 nave
reforms brought about at the farmers market
will be watched with a great deal OF interest,"
There is no doubt about there being room Tor
Improvement there. but the thing has been
tried so many times before that 1t seems almost
hopeless.
The farmers market has come to be an IN
stitution in Perth Amboy. 1t is recognized all
over the country as one OF the most successful
ever inaugurated. 1t is natural that around any
thing that is so successful abuses should arise.
1t is the duty OF the Board Of Aldermen to see
that the farmers market is exactly what Its
name implies. 1t was started as a place where
the produce dealers and the people generally
could go TO get fresh vegetables direct from the
farm. When that purpose is no longer served
the purpose of the farmers market has failed.
As for the various line OF ~drygoods and other
merchandise offered for sale along the sidewalk
in the vicinity of the market 1t would seem as il
his matter could be regulated by ordinance, II
the ordinance now governing the market does
not already do so. In the latter case all that
is necessary is to enforce the ordinance.
It is to be hoped that now. before the sum-
mer opens the city authorities will be able to
tackle this problem in a way that will be final.
