"Gas Mounds"

Gas mounds is the popular name
In Texas for the low, circular emf
nences. averaging 20 feet in diameter
and two feet in height, which abound
in forest and prairie regions in Louisi-
ana, Texas, southern Arkansas and
Oklahoma. On the supposition that
the mounds have been raised by
ascending gas from subterranean oil
pools, they are regarded as indicating
oil beneath. government geologist,
who has examined the mounds. dis
putes this theory of their origin. They
occur in many districts where not the
least sign of oil or gas has been dis
covered. He thinks that they owe
their existence mainly to the unequal
settling of the ground in poorly drained
areas subjected TO abundant periodic

R0SARIEs FROM HOLY LAND
Important Bethlehem Industry Is the
Manufacture Of Beads From Ma
terial America Sends.

Ten to twenty tons of the pearl
shell waste of American button fac
tories-broken pieces and butte ends of
shells-are shipped monthly to the
Holy land, where, in the village where
Christ was born, the material is con
verted into beads and ornamental OBJ
jects. For many centuries the manu-
facture of such products has been the
only important industry of Bethlehem,
They find a market largely in the
United States. In 1920 there was
shipped from Bethlehem to this coun-
try at least 100000 worth of rosaries,
made of motheEof-pearl beads, with
silver chains and strung on wire of
the same metal, or white metal' for
a substitute. For making larger car
ven or other ornamental objects Beth
iehem obtains supplies of pearl-oySter
shells from the Persian gulf. from In
dia and from Australia The chains
of silver and white metal are import
ed from France. Hand labor is en-
ployed exclusively in the industry, and,
inasmuch as it is very cheap, the idea
Of using machinery is regarded with
diSfavor.

Eiremen Pull Out a Rat

Many funny requests come over the
phone of the newspapers and to the
phone information" but a new one
was sprung recently in Marblehead
when the phone rang at the Franklin
street fire station and hysterical
voice called for the department to
come Immediately to Circle street as a
most peculiar cracking noise had
been heard all night in one of the
rooms.
The firemen rushed into their coats
and boots with a vision Of something
iuing in the smoldering fire line. On
arrival no signs of fire could be dis
covered and the woman, much agi-
tated, showed the men whence the
noises came. Armed with axes and
picks they assaulted the dresser. from
which the noises issued and after a
stubborn struggle managed to subdue
d good sized rat in drawer of said
dresser. The woman was grateful to
the firemen, who now feel qualified to
fight pests. bipeds or any walking
creature. as well as the fire fiend.--

GRAVE COST OF INDECIsIoN
Gap johnson Tells Of Incident Which
Should Convey Moral to the
Intelligent Reader.

my cousin, Hank Buckley, paid SO
for a dog a couple of weeks ago. re-
lated Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge,
Ark, "and directly gave the dog and
four bits for a fiddle. Pretty soon he
swapped the fiddle and six bits for a
shotgsnl. He hadn't much more than
got settled with the gun than he fig
gered he'd ruther have dog than a
shotgun, and swapped the gun for the
varmint.. and the feller made him give
81 to boot. After a spell he got to
studying and decided that he wanted
a fiddle worse than he did a dog. So
he swapped with the fiddle man and
gave him 81 to boot

Section Men Watch Step.

Section men are known for their
deliberate movements. They never
get in a hurry unless there is some
urgent work to be done. AS long as
they are on the go they are supposed
to be working fast enough.
Track workers on the subway lines
are even more deliberate in their
movements than men employed on
regular railroads. Where the old-time
section workers had to look out for
f1iers and occasional freight trains.
the subway track men have to be on
the watch for express and local trains
passing every few minutes. In addi-
tion, they've got to have care for
the third rail. In crossing the tracks
every movement is taken with the
death-dealing current always in mind.
A hurried, reckless step might end
fatally. Probably in no other line of
work Is efficiency so measured by
slow work.

LIE IN WAIT FOR UNWARY

ut makes no difference whether your
capital is So or million times that
will need just the amount you can
raise.
For 81 or So you can buy hive OF
bees; the bees will swarm the next
day and you will have two hives.
Keep this process up a few weeks
and you will have thousand hives,
and as bees can work the year round
in Cuba, flowers being continuously
in bloom, each hive will make you S25
and thousand hives mean S25,OOO a
year. A neat income even in an ex-
pensive resort like Havana.
"If you have a few hundred dollars
you will be advised to go into the
chicken business and your adviser
will tell you how eggs sell at or 8
cents piece-they don't sell them by
the dozen in Havana-and each hen
will therefore earn S12 to $15 yearly,
while her board will be $3.50 or some
such sum.
''If your fortune is up in the thou
sands you are advised to go into the
lumber business and you will be told
of the tremendous demand for poles
on which to hang tobacco while it is
being cured. The American who is
explaining the huge profits from these

tops are covered with figures on a

New England Men
Urge Action on Bill
to Buy Cape Cod Canal

Washington. April 12.-Ncw England
uayigators urged the House interstate
commerce committee today to report
the Winslow bill providing for acqui-
sition of the Cape Cod canal at an es-
timated cost of $11,500.000 and under
which tolls would be free.
Captain w. II. Haley and other
spokesman said the outside channel
was the most treacherous along the
New England coast because of shoals,
current and fogs. They advocated the
improvement of the waterway so as to
provide a top width from 800 to $50
feet with a 35-foot depth.
Capt. w. D. Porter, skipper of ]. p.
Morgan's yacht, the Corsair, said he
did not see why the taxpayers of all
parts OF the country should be taxed
to give free tolls.
Chairman Winslow told him. how
ever it was national policy for the
govern to operate such properties
free.
Calvin Austin, president of the East
ern Steamship Co., said that tolls as
charged now are a detriment and that
with the proposed improvement his
company would be able to operate big
ger freight and passenger ships be-
tween New York and Boston. Mr..
Austin thought government ownership
and operation might result eventually
in freight rate reductions.
