And 1t Is better understanding.
For the earlier literature and history
relative to him threw about our mill
stary hero Of the Revolution and our
first President such an atmosphere Of
saintliness and perfection that he
& hardly seemed human being. There
wds a gasp Of sastonishment when
glimpses Of the real George Washing
/ ton began to appear. Nobody's feel
ir,gs were hurt. The American likes
his national heroes red-blooded. The
public was soon asking for more Of
the same. thank you. It got more.
And when at last It became evident
that George Washington had the maxi
ings Of "a regular fellow" II all the
truth were known, the American PED
pie were simply tickled to death and

With took his rightful place in the
{ great American heart.

George Washington, and every, now
and then something new sees daylight.
There is now no danger that the awe

tion will ever again be thrnwn over
him. The Americans Of the future
I can know the real man.
And this is the added Joy OF revela-
Z tion. The disclosure Of the mans
real nature but adds to his greatness.

WHY sALToN SEA IS SALT,


to develop water power from the Col
orado river-which gives ample proof
Of the power 1t can exert in the earv-
ing of the Grand sCanyon-are said
to have aroused apprehension in the
minds of the operators Of irrigated
farms in the Imperial valley Of Cali
f0rnia. near the shores of the SaltOn
sea. The Imperial valley depends on
the Colorado for Its irrigation waters.
The Salton sea is rea1ly a part Of
the Gulf Of California with a great
ryke of silt separating 1t from the
greater body.of water. =
"Many centuries ago the Gulf Of
California extended to a point about
$50 miles northwestward from its
present head" says a communication
to the National Geographic society
from Arthur p. Davis.
1T also extended up the present
valley of the Colorado river at least
to Yuma and probably somewhat
above. The Colorado river, rising III
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 wa on. without
cessation century after century. the
valley was gradually filed, d delta
built up, over which the river flowed
far out into the gulf. 1T encroached
progressively up the shores of the gulf
until 1t built up. delta entirely across,
Joining the foothills Of the Cocopah
mountains on the western shore. This
cut of the head Of the gulf. and the
arid climate rapidly evaporated the
waters thus separated and left an in
land depression, which at its lowest
point was nearly 800 feet below sea-
level. It 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.
'sThe 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 deItaic streams,
the channel on the tops 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 new one. In this .wsy
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 ID the general

'.rhe 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 1t does
not have. But In richness q. tone the
Tekkintzi wins its rightful place as
queen Of rugs.
"Years of care in selecting the long
f1bered, spotless wool, in dyeIng 1t in
reds from B0khara, blues from At
ghanistan, or blacks from Merv, with
touch of orange orsyellow now and
then, and In weaving 1t beneath the
hot sun Of the dry desert, give the
Tekkintzi character which more hur-
ried methods cannot give. 1t reveals
no trace Of foreign accent. for its
language of lasting beauty is bred in
the blood.
"For centuries possibly extending
back to the Iranian peoples whom AL
exander found here on his way to In
dia, the Tekke maiden had been taught
to dye and weave. When she was
married to her MOhammedan husband,
the young bride toolaRwith her to her
masters hut the rugs her patient toll
had formed, and he in turn paid u corr
responding price to her parents. Her
dowry was her skill and it's product.
She was mental, but with the soul
Of an artist. Her toll was long, but
it was not drudgery. She was not "a
slave, for her work demanded the In
spiration of 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-cott.s
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 con-
quered race. The skill of the Tekke
woman began to win its reward. Her
genius had caused the art world to
wear path to her hut and her OPEN
air loom. But there was the unhappy
side.
"Only the rich young Turkomans
could afford to buy wife at the ex-
ogbitant price her skill made possible.
Parents raised the price of theic
daughters, consoling themselves with
the fact that IL they could not pro.
duce offspring they could ut least pro-
duce valuable rugs. The age of mar
riage became higher. Caught in 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 liv9fof hated spinsterhood."

more than s3O,OOO,OOO worth of cot
ton is now stored in the warehouses
in the state system" ]. Clifton Rivers,
warehouse commissioner, said re-
Gently in speaking of the big business
the state system is handling this
year.
"The state warehouse system has
developed into one of the biggest bust
nesses Of the country Mr.. Rivers
continued. "At present we have more
than 1000 bonded employees and are
operating more than 1000 units or
warehouses, with cotton values at
more than s30,O0O,000.
"By calculations made on October
Is 1t was shown that the value OF the
cotton in storage at that time had in
creased S7,500,0O0 since the cotton
was placed in the warehouses. This
was carried at a minimum cost to the
people who are using the department" !"
During November the number OF
bales of cotton stored increased by
33,S57 over the first day of November
A great increase in the number OF
the larger warehouses entered into
the state system is shown in the No
vember business. This is attributed
to the fact that the state warehouse
receipts are being used more extern
sively in obtaining loans through the
war finance corporation and other
financial agencies, because Of the easy
facilities they afford for such pur-
poses and because they are approved
by the war finance corporation.

Conference Of Older Bows.

conference OF OlOCT DOyS-
More than 300 young South Caro-
iinlans with a number of invited
guests from Columbia gathered in the
gymnasium of the Columbia Y. NJ. G.
A. to feast, hear talks and give cheer
after resounding cheer for themselves
and others.
The banquet for the state older
boys conference was furnished by the
Columbia chamber of commerce, pre-
pared by the Mothers club and serv.
I'd by the girls of the high school,
and was worthy OF the efforts Of all
concerned.
After the banquet the speech of the
evening was delivered by C. c. Robin
son of New York, international boys,
work secretary Of the Y. M. c. A. who
came to Columbia from the boys con-
ference in Wisconsin, bringing their
greetings.
Mr.. Robinson told many amusing
stories which illustrated the point he
was trying to bring out on Some
thing More in American Boyhood,"
the address taking the form of plea
for the making Of better men for the
future from the boys Of today.
1.-The world must have different
breed of men in the future from the
men of today" he declared. After
1000 years men have reached the
conclusion that boys must be taken
as found and made into the kind OF
men desired. whereas heretofore they
were expected to be Of certain type
and continue in the same unto their
life's end
