Ever since I can remember have
been an advocate of the simple life. The
frills in life are the things that make
men and women lose the grace and agility
of their youth. History will prove my
theory and my case proves my belief.
Look at the Romans and the Greeks!
Why, in the days when they were hardy,
simple living warriors they were the
greatest nations in the world.
ut was when the women of those times
began to strut around like peacocks and
bring their boys up to lead luxurious,
pampered lives that Greece took her flop.
When the Romans began to stage all
night parties, go to afternoon teas and
listen to jazz music all the time Nero's
little red wagon stalled and there wasn't
a man in Rome able to crank it up again.
$50 much for history to prove that the
simple life is the best. Now let me
give you my own story. 1t is not vanity
that prompts me to keep my girlish figure.
/ want to feel good and be able to go
through a days work or play without
being dead when night comes around.
Keeping my figure trim is, after all, only
one of the visible results Of leading the
simple life declared Gwendolyn.

The Worlds Greatest Rookery

larger than goose egg and chalky white.
The eggs of the blue heron or crane are
beautiful blue, almost like those of the
robin, but of course much larger. Those
of the cormorant are white, with tiny
freckles of rusty brown.
Thousands of young seagulls, looking
almost like young barnyard chicks but
with longer, sharper beaks, scramble from
the path of the intruder and squawk
feebly If too young to scamper to safety.
The strangest sight of all is presented
by the focks of young pelicans, which act
like so many sheep. Great, ungainly
bodied, butter fat, SO clumsy that they
can scarcely waddle out of the way, these
young birds flock in droves. With their
long yellow beaks, sharp as sword points,
they would be able but for their clumsi.
ness and helplessness to make it ex.
tremely uncomfortable for any man. But
they are so helpless that they may be
herded together like sheep and driven at
will across the sand and in the sage
brush.
When these ungainly birds are pursued
they disgorge the contents of their
pouches. 1t has been charged that the
pelicans destroy many trout, bass and
other game fish, but among the thousands
of dead fish one sees on Hat Island there
will be found less than dozen trout or
bass.
AS the sun nears the western rim Of
the lake an uproar is heard. Far away to
the northeast specks are seen in the air.
They are the adult pelicans returning
from the mouth of the Jordan River or
from Bear River, fifty and seventy miles
distant, laden with fish for the young.
Their pouches are distended with carp
and other fish. and the young pelicans,
always hungry, set up maddening screams
when they see the old birds approaching.
The cormorants are as numerous on
Hat Island as the gulls and pelicans.
The cormorant is famous fisherman, and
although he has "gripsack" beneath
his bill like the pelican he carries great
carp across the seemingly limitless ex
panse of brine to his young. They, like
the young of the pelicans, are fat as
butter balls.
