SEES HIMSELF IN SPOTLIGHT
Bachelor Is Naturally Wondering If
That Is How the Ladies Really
Regard Him.

A Terre Haute bachelor stopped at
friends house the other night to
get him to accompany him to COM
munity meeting. The friend was
much married" man and his spouse
did not wish him to go to the lecture.
So she told her husband SO.
They were in the next room and her
husband was afraid the bachelor
might hear her and he did not desire
for the other man to think that he
was so henpecked. So he raised
warning hand at his wife. But she
continued in voice louder than ever.
Il don't care if he does hear. If there's
anything that makes me tired it is
some old bachelor going around clut-
tering up the earth"
The bachelor was startled. What
he wants to know now is whether or
not all women regard him in the same
light.-Indianapolis News.

FURTHER USE FOR RADIUM
Its Employment in Pottery Is Said to
Be Productive of Results of
Great Benefit.

Water containing radioactive com
pounds Is used as a curative agent for
certain illnesses. Mere contact with
such compounds for n sufficient length
of time will make water slightly radio
active.
Pottery is now manufactured which
has in it small percentage of radio
active material. This is mixed with
the clay and baked In the kiln. Water
left in pottery of this nature for a
short time will become radioactive by
Induction" and health-giving drink
is made.
Such water may also be employed in
the watering of plants with good re-
suits, since the presence of radioac-
tive compound near the roots of a
plant is very helpful to its growth

WHY SALTON SEA is SALT

Reports that plans are under way
to develop water power from the Col
orado river-which gives ample proof
of the power it can exert in the carv-
ing of the Grand Canyon-are said
to have aroused apprehension in the
minds of the operators of irrigated
farms in the Imperial valley of Cali
fornia, near the shores of the Salton
sea. The Imperial valley depends on
the Colorado for it's irrigation waters.
The Salton sea is really a part of
the Gulf of California with a great
ryke of silt separating it from the
greater body of water.
Many centuries ago the Gulf of
California extended to point about
$50 miles northwestward from its
present head" says a communication
to the National Geographic society
from Arthur P. Davis.
"It also extended up the present
valley of the Colorado river at least
to Yuma and probably somewhat
above. The Colorado river, rising in
the Wind River mountains of Wyo-
ming and the Rocky mountains of Col
orado, carved the rocks along its
course and brought the resulting sands
and mud down in its swift current,
discharging them into the arm of the
gulf near Yuma.
"As this process went on, without
cessation century after century, the
valley was gradually filed, a delta
built up, over which the river flowed
far out into the gulf. It encroached
progressively up the shores of the gulf
until it built up delta entirely across,
joining the foothills of the Cocopah
mountains on the western shore. This
cut off the head Of the gulf, and the
arid climate rapidly evaporated the
wefers thus separated and left an in
land depression, which at its lowest
point was nearly 300 feet below sea-
level. 1t is estimated that the amount
of silt carried by the Lower Colorado
river is sufficient to cover So square
miles one foot deep with dry alluvial
soil each year.
'The river continued to bring down
its load of sediment and to build its
delta higher and force it farther into
the gulf. Like all such deltaic streams,
the channel on the top of the delta
is constantly shifting, cutting one
bank, building up the other, overflow
ing both banks, and during high water
sometimes entirely abandoning an old
channel for a new one. In this way
the river has from time to time flowed
into the Salton sea for some years
or centuries, and anon has shifted to
the eastward and discharged again
into the gulf. This is the general
course the river has followed ever
since its discovery by the Spaniards
in the Sixteenth century.
"At high water the river normally
overflows its banks in the valley re-
gions all the way from the Grand
Canyon to the Gulf of California. In
unusually high water, such as oc-
Cured in 1891, the overflow running
into the Salton sink has been suffi-
cient to materially raise the level of
the lake and overflow the tracks of
the Southern Pacific railway, which
are built along its shores"

RESOURCES OF ALBANIA

Now that the Rapallo agreement be-
tween Italy and JugO-Slavia has
cleared up the status of the northern
part of the eastern coast of the Adri-
attic, Albania is the only country bor-
dering on those historic waters about
whose boundaries there is still some
doubt. AS one of the countries whose
confines will probably be fixed in the
near future Albania takes on an added
interest. The resources Of this portion
of the Balkan peninsula are dealt with
in the following communication to the
National Geographic society from
Brig. Gen. George P. Scriven, U. S. A,
who made tour of the country short
ly after the Austrians had been driven
out in 1913.
1.-THE Albanians are probably neither
SO good no so bad as they have been
painted, but certainly they are worth
the effort necessary to manage their
own affairs and to work their little
farms in the fertile valleys, to herd
their sheep and weave their garments
Of wool, If only they are let alone.
They do not submit easily to govern
ment; have no love for chance strang-
ers, and are slow to accept change
in the manner of living or of cultivat-
ing the fields.
"The mountains Of Albaniaare prac-
tically unexplored. Mineral pitch, or
asphaltum, has been known since the
time of the Romans, and near Valona
have seen specimens, clean, black
and hard, which promise well. Traces
of petroleum, too, have been found by
the Italians, and 1 am told boring is,
or is about to be, undertaken. Copper
and iron are believed to exist in the
hills about the Malik valley, and coal,
silver and lead are said to be present
elsewhere in the mountains. Gold
mines were worked in ancient times
and Albanian silver was known to
the Venetians, but the whole mountain
country has lain neglected for ages.
"The climate of Albania is consid-
cred healthful in the uplands, though
subject to violent changes, which are
trying to the stranger, at certain sea-
sons, even if he is confined to one To-
cality. But when a traveller, moving
rapidly about the country in a motor
the only practicable way of travel
ing in these days-rushes several thou
sand feet from a mountain height,
cold and windy and probably snow-cov-
cred, into warm, sunshiny valley and
back again in the fraction of an hour,
1t Is well to have a care.
MAY is the pleasantest month of
the year and the valleys then look
their best. Snow, of course, lies in the
mountains until well into the spring,
but seldom lasts throughout the sum-
mer, as the tallest peaks do not attain
an elevation of more than 5000 feet.
"The fever of the Balkans is per-
sistent, but is not especially fatal.
Still it is to be dreaded for its linger-
ing effects and the great debility 1t
causes. The usual specific is quinine,
supply of which is placed on the
mess table or carried about in the
pocket"

Of their domain by Russia does not
entirely explain it.
1.-The Tekkintzi rug, more commonly
known by the less distinctive name OF
Bokhara, is the lovelieSt product of the
desert loom. Its charm lies not in in
tricacy of design, manifold detail, or
symbolic meaning. 1t is not a picture
in wool. Brillinacy of coloring it does
not have. But in richness of tone the
TekkintZi wins its rightful place. as
queen of rugs.
Years of care in selecting the long
fibered, spotless wool, in dyeing it in
reds from Bokhara, blues from At
ghanistan, or blacks from Merv, with
a touch of orange or yellow now and
then, and in weaving it beneath the
hot sun of the dry desert, give the
TekkintZi a character which more hur-
ried methods cannot give. 1t reveals
no trace of foreign accent, for it's
language of lasting beauty is bred in
the blood.
For centuries, possibly extending
back to the Iranian peoples whom All
exander found here on his way to In
dia, the Tekke maiden had been taught
to dye and weave. When she was
the young bride took with her to her
masters hut the rugs her patient toll
had formed, and he in turn paidaa corr
responding price to her parents. Her
dOwry was her skill and its product.
She was a menial, but with the soul
of an artist. Her toll was long, but
it was not drudgery. She was not q
slave, for her work demanded the in
spiration of a soul, and she had an
enViable position compared with that
of many of her Oriental sisters in
polygamy.
Gradually these masterpieces in
mahogany, deep chocolate, terra-cOtta,
old rose, burnt orange and black found
their way to America, where their ap-
peal was irresistible. Buyers raced
one another across Europe into the
Transcaspian home of history to Sc
cure the priceless treasures of a con-
quered race. The skill of the Tekke

genius had caused the art world to
wear a path to her hut and her open
air loom. But there was the unhappy
side.
."Only the rich young Turkomans
could afford to buy a wife at the ex-
orbitant price her skill made possible.
Parents raised the price of their
daughters, consoling themselves with
the fact that if they could not pro-
duce offspring they could at least pro-
| duce valuable rugs. The age of mar
riage became higher. Caught in a trap
which skillful women had woven, the
young men revolted from the exagger-
| ated demands of the avaricious and
unromantic parents and sought cheap
er wives elsewhere, while Tekke wom-
en-, robbed of love and enmeshed in
their own skeins of fine wool, dragged
out busy lives of hated spinsterhood. .

grapefruit, one lemon, cut fine, cover
with II cupfuls of cold water and let
stand over night. Be sure that all
seeds are removed, but pulp and skin
are all used. Now cook until tender,
slowly for an hour or until the peel is
transparent. Then set away until the
next day, then add ten cupfuls of sugar
and simmer until thick. Pour into
glasses and seal with paraffin. This
recipe will make about fourteen glasses
of marmalade.
Cheese With Celery.-Take small
stalks of the inner portion of the
bunch of celery and fill with any
cream cheese, seasoned to taste. To
prepare a cream cheese at home use
any good strong cheese grated, adding
it to boiling hot cream, stirring until
smooth. Then cool and it will be
creamy and delicious. One may add
canned pimentoes, chopped stuffed
olives, cayenne, paprika, chopped
green pepper and almost any flavor
desired. A half cupful of cheese
grated will thicken cupful of boiling
cream.
Savory Sandwich FiIIing.-Blanch
one-half cupful of almonds and brown
them in frying pan with a table
spoonful of oil. Chop fine, season with
salt and paprika. Add two tablespoon
fuls of chopped pickles, one table
spoonful of chopped chutney. Spread
either bread or crackers with cream
cheese and sprinkle with the chopped
mixture.
Delicious FiIIing.-Cream two small
cream cheeses until smooth. Add
gradually two tablespoonfuls of but
ter and one-fourth of a cupful of
orange juice. When well mixed add
one-half cupful of chopped pimento,
one cupful of chopped walnut meats
and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Mix
well and spread between slices of but
tered oatmeal bread. This will make
25 sandwiches.
Puffed Rice BrittIe.-Cook in a
smooth Omelet pan one cupful of su-
gar until clear and brown; stir into
the sirup a cupful or more of crisped
puffed rice. Pour on a creased plate
and when cool mark in squares and
break
Puffed wheat or popped corn may
be used in place of the rice. With
the addition of a few nuts one has a
richer confection.
