water~orks in tn. psssrt.

In the big desert of Chile there is
a considerable amount of brackish
water, but no water that either hu-
man beings or stock can drink.
Science, however, has come to the aid
Of the rainless section of the coun-
try in the form of an ingenious desert
waterworks, consisting of a series of
frames containing 10000 square feet
of glass. The panes OF glass are ar
ranged I'm the shape of a V, and un-
der each pane is a shallow pan con-
tanning brackish water. The heat of
the sun evaporates the water, which
condenses upon the sloping glass and,
made pure by this operation, 1t runs
down into little channels at the bot
tom of the Y and is carried away into
the main canal It is said that nearly
a thousand gallons of fresh water is
collected daily by this means.

ENGLISH LAW INVOKED
ASSOCIATED Press)

Dade City. July 2.-The Pasco coun-
ty authorities have invoked an old
English law in order to prosecute Or
lando Sparks, negro, who escaped
recently while serving a sentence of
five months on the county roads for
stealing chickens. Sparks was recap
tured in Pinellas county and to make
an example of his case the authori-
ties decided upon prosecution. When
the county commissioners applied for
warrant they were disappointed to
learn that the legislature never had
seen fit to enact any law providing
punishment for a convict for escap-
ing. 1t later was learned that to es-
cape from prison is a crime under the
common law of England and since
there is an old provision in the state
code that the common law of England
shall be in full force in Florida unless
otherwise provided by statute, a case
has been docketed against Sparks
charging him with the common law
offense of Escaping"

Panama Canal Locks.

There are few things more interest
Ing to the average traveller than TO
pass through the great locks of the
Panama canal. The vessel enters very
slowly and as she does lines are taken
aboard leading to electric motors or
mules" which keep her in the center
of the lock. Then the great gates at
the rear swing together and the water
is turned into the enclosure thus
formed. Looking over the side Of the
steamer one sees great bubble OF
water rise from the bottom, then a
second and third appear until finally
the. whole surface of the lock is boil
ing. The pressure is so great that
often fish sucked into the drains that
lead from the Gatum lake, are drawn
I'm and thrown several feet into the
air. When the proper level Is finally
reached the gate ahead Of the vessel
opens and the mules start forward,
dragging the vessel free from the lock
before she moves ahead under her
own power.

Modifying Our Farb Practice to
Meet Conditions

Our farmers are now confronted
by one. Of the gravest issues they
have ever been called on to meet.
Our farming practice must be re-
organized. There is no way around,
over or through this difficulty ex-
cept by the institution of new meth
DDS and the immediate establish
ment of an adequate program Of
crop diversification.
Along what lines should we pro-
coed? There are number of things
which should be kept in mind at
all times. First Of all, it is neces-
sary that we provide an adequate
living for the people who own and
operate land and reside in our towns
and cities. There must -iso be an
abundance of food provided not
only for the live stock now on the
farm, but for the large INCREASE in
the number of animals which we
must of necessity maintain in Geor-
gia in the future. We must also
bear in mind that money is need
ed on which to predicate a desir-
able farm practice. While the farm
err can live largely at home, he must
purchase a considerable amount of
his supplies, and these he should
handle on a cash basis, primarily
for the sake of economy. AT the
present time he must do this as
completely as possible because OF
the difficulty of securing large and
necessary money credits.

NARY MEREDlTH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

AS I have seen your advice to
others, I want you to advise me a
bit. will give you a little descrip-
ton Of myself, so you can refer to
my looks if you wish.
I have brown hair and eyes, me-
dunn brunette complexion, am five
feet five inches in height, and weigh
108 pounds. Are girls wearing long
wasted dresses this season, and do
they become short figures?
I am only four feet, ten inches
tall, and weigh 80 pounds.
Do you think Cuticura treatment
good for the complexion? I use it
for pimples and think it all right.
How should I dress my hair? I
have a medium-shaped face. Hope to
see this in print, and thank you in
advance.
irish ROSE"
Yes, long-waisted dresses are
worn! also the jumper dress is
very becoming to short girls and
women, as well as the tall ones.
Cuticura soap and salve are
excellent for pimples and a
rough, itching skin. Young girls
are wearing bobbed hair, and it
is attractive as can be on many
Of them. But if your hair is
thick and long, I wouldn't ad-
wise bobbing it. Curl it on rags.
You are small and curly hair
would be quite becoming.
