sPARRCW's NEST IN AUTO
Carrying It and Eggs
Around.

RushvilIe, Ind.-Rex Innis, farmer
living west of Rushville, has just dis
covered that he is carrying sparrow's
nest with four eggs in 1t around IN
his automobile.
A few days ago, when he filled the
gasoline tank under the front seat, ne
found the nest neatly tucked In the
corner and securely fastened between
the end of the tank and the seat. The
mother sparrow had evidently gained
access to the unusual place by flying
up under the seat,
Innis says that he parks his ma
chine In the same place every night
and he presumes that the sparrow sits
on the eggs every night while the ma
chine is not In use. The nest has with
stood the test of all kinds of roads,
no bumps being too high or ruts too
deep to dislodge it.

500 RAPIDS NO MORE
Once NavigabIe Stream Reduced
to Rocks and Pools.
Fishermen Gather Bio Catches In
Streamlets Where Once Angry
Torrents Ragged.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.-MOdern en-
cheering has broken the prestige OF
the old-time SEQ rapids, reducing to
rocks and shallow pools stream
which. in the days before the civil
war, schooners piled with no fear of
hitting bottom.
Completion Of the last Of the COM
pensating dams above the rapids has
brought to the surface moss-clad rocks
hidden for centuries, and 1t is now pos
sible to wade across a space where, In
1852, there was stream Of such re-
spectacle volume that the sailing
schooner Uncle Sam passed easily.
Capitulation Of the rapids, which has
drawn nearer and nearer during
seventy years, reached It's climax with
startling quickness recently when,
within an hour after the closing OF
the dam, the rapids became gaunt
rock and disconsolate rivulets.
The scent of fish and moss filed the
air. In pools were some unwary crea-
lures Of the water who had not fed In
time, and anglers hastened for their
kits. Most of the fish in the rapids
had taken refuge In the lower river
as the water receded.
But the passing Of the rapids brings
some joy, for fishermen believe the re-
naming pools, some Of them several
feet deep, will attract the rainbow and
speckled trout, and that these will be
more easily shared
Dams above the rapids were con-
structed to regulate the depth OF Lake
Superior and to obtain q steady drift
of water In the locks

perience with two large rattle
snakes While on a berry pick

some distance from the rest of

humming noise. and turned
about to see two snakes near
her. The child was motionless

saved her life. Other members
of the party saw her standing,
investigated and killed the
snakes. which were as large as

WHAT NORMALLY MEANS

People probably have differen
ideas as to what is really required tt
bring us back to normally, or wha
normal conditions really should be
A good many seem to be of the i'm
ression, which is perhaps only hui
man, that everything should drop in
price but the article which they may
have to offer the public. This senti-
ment, of course, entertained by
many people, has a tendency to keep
normally at a distance.
The Daily Financial American has
some definite ideas as to what nor
malcy is, or should be and gives out
for the consideration of the public
what it calls its fourteen points in
normalcy." They are:
1. Drastic reduction of government
expenditures.
2. Immediate enactment of equit-
able taxes.
8. Complete severance of politics
from business.
4. Utilization of our gold hard
in foreign credits.
5. Reduced costs of production
6. Reduced costs of transportation.
z. Reduced costs of distribution.
8. Utilization of water power
white fueD.
9. Liquidation of building materi-
ais and house furnishings.
10. Price sterilization on lower in
come level.
II. Control of our raw material
sources in foreign lands.
~. Scrap surplus equipment
IS. Vocational training of wounded
and idle soldiers and sailors.
IA. Accurate cost knowledge of
production and distribution.
We hear much of the number of
people out of employment at the
present time. Figures given out
from Washington, D. c., however,
show that something near two million
more men were out of employment |
in 1914 than the estimated number |
now. Under ordinary conditions
there is always a large number of |
men unemployed in this country, for
various reasons. The condition seems
serious just now by COM
parison with the abnormal demand
for labor at high wages which pre-
vailed during and following the war.

ASFELON SLEEPS
GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL FOR NEW
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT LAW
IN NEVADA

Carson City, March 31.-A bill
providing for the use of lethal gas

Governor Emmett d. Boyle.
Signing of the bill abolishes other
forms of punishment. Hitherto con-
demned men had the choice between
hanging or shooting. Nevada is be-
lieved TO be the first state to include
gas as a means for capital punish
ment.
Under the new law, the death war
rant must designate a week within
which the execution must take place.
The law calls for suitable cell
for inflictinG the penalty where gas
is used and provides that the war
den, competent physician and six
other citizens must witness the exc
cution.
The bill gives no details concern
ing the cell. but sponsors for the bill
