DESERT NO FRIEND OF MAN
Q q g q g g g g q q q q q

| Los Angeles Herald: Man has not yet
conquered all the wild spots of ma.
ture in this country, despite the marvels
| of aviation and radio. This is borne in
| upon one by reading only a few days
| ago of the death in the desert, not far
from civilization in Southern Califor
| MIA, of three men, two with a stranded
| auto and the other in a wagon drawn
by two emaciated burros.
| Men and women still living can re
member when they learned with awe
of the dangers of the Great Sahara
desert in Africa. Later the school geo
graphies carried meager information OF
| the Great American desert, which
stretched west of the Rookie and end
ed no one knew where.
| The terrible fate of dying from thirst
was later impressed upon US by the
tales of travellers and their animals
leaving their bones on the desert, as
| they iourneyed overland from the East
to the great West.
! Today we hear little of these things
which used to make such vivid impres
! sion on young minds. Often we are led
| to believe the dangers of the desert
have faded away before advancing civ
l ilization. An occasional news item
like the one in question, however, re-
| minds US that we have not yet rid our
| selves of the perils with which nature
has surrounded us.
We can visualize the time when in
dividual radio apparatus will put the
desert traveller or the mountain dwell
er in communication with his fellows at
all times, while aviation will make it
| possible to reach him in a brief space
of time. Still, for the present, desert
travel offers some of the same menaces
of yore, although each succeeding de
cade sees definite steps toward the hap
py time when the waste places will be
cultivated, or at least made readily ac-
cessible, through the genius of man.

One day, when Uncle WiggilW was

monkey doodle gentleman who had
been with circus. The monkey doc
die gentleman carried on one paw a
large basket.
"What have you there?' kindly
asked Uncle Wiggily. ''Are you sell

such things are sold at the circus.

Soon he met Johnnie and Billie Bushy

Strictly speaking, it is not true that
only one side of the moon is visible
from the earth S surface. The moon s
rotation in her orbit is not uniform,
therefore, two small strips of surface
in addition to the regular plane are
visible from the earth. These parts of
the surface run from pole to pole on
the east and west sides, and become al
ternately visible. Because the moon +
axis is not perpendicular to the orbit,
part around the North Pole is visible
during one half and the corresponding
part around the South Pole during the
other half of II her revolution in her
orbit. The combined effect of these
variations is that we can see altogether
about 80 per cent of the moon s sur
face.
Only Al peg cent is at all times Wis
