IMMENSE MOUNTAIN OF SALT
President jefferson Was Misled by
Fairy Tales in Negotiating Pur-
chase of Louisiana.

While President Jefferson was ne
gotiating with France for the pur-
chase of Louisiana Territory, he
transmitted to congress one very re-
markable document. 1t was an alb
stract he had prepared of certain pa
pers relating to the territory, and pic
tured the country in the most glowing
colors. 1t told of a tribe of Indians
of gigantic stature; of bluffs 800 feet
high, faced with stone and carved by
nature into what appeared like A null
titude of antique towers; of vast
prairie country whose soil was too
rich for the growth of trees.
But most marvellous of all was an
immense mountain of pure salt. This
was said to be located about 1000
miles north of New Orleans. and near
the Mississippi river, and to be $50
miles long and 45 miles wide, with
no trees or shrubs on it. All glittering
white it stood, and from it's base is
sued great streams of pure salt water.
Jefferson had been misled by the
fairy tales of travellers. His politi-
cal opponents had no end of fun with
him in after years about his salt
mountain"

CHICAGO to London.

A special train will carry freight
from Chicago to New York in 48
hours, observes Capper's Weekly. This
freight Will be rushed aboard the great
ship Majestic, the worlds largest boat,
quilt by the Germans and now oper-
ated by an English company, and if
all goes we'll seven days after the
freight is loaded in Chicago it will be
unloaded In England. What would Co
lumbus think if he could see this mod
ern ship, says w. D. Boyce, according
TO Capper's Weekly. The Majestic
crosses the Atlantic in about one-sev-
enth of the time. 1t could carry the
three ships Columbus used, his entire
crew and 1000 other passengers, to
say nothing of the tons and tons of
freight. Four hundred years hence
they may read about our trying to
send freight from Chicago to England
in seven days, and wonder why we
were SO slow. Probably airships as
big as the Majestic will be making the
Chicago-London trip in one-seventh of
tOday's time.

1t is mistake to think that a good

And in urging the possibility of home
building On limited means there is no
need, whatsoever, to let down the
standards and use shoddy materials or
to "slap it together in such a manner

Cellar Is Safe.

Accident statistics show that the
safest place to be to avoid the pos
sibility of accident is in a bed in the
cellar of your home. Next to that the
safest place is a Pullman or other steel
car on a railroad train. So say the
accident insurance companies. A pas
senger in an ordinary railroad car is
much safer than at home, because he
is sitting still and few things can
happen to him. If he is in Pullman
and there is collision, other cars may
be smashed, but lis own vehicle, be-
ing of steel and enormously heavy, will
likely escape serious injury.

mansions of each bedroom is 10 feet
by 10 feet, the variation from this
size being only 6 inches.
Besides the six rooms there is good
sized pantry for pots and kettles and
for storing foodstuffs.
The home has two porches, the front
porch being an exceptionally large one,
extending, as it does 26 feet across the
front.
No one could be otherwise than
proud to possess as large and well-ar-
ranged home as this, and it can be
built for such a reasonable sum that
the family with anything like a real

NEW DEPARTMENT
PLAN IN 3DDAYS
President Is Expected to Act
Quickly in Matter of Re-
organization.

while best informed leaders at the
canito1 are expecting President Hard
ing's program for reorganization OF
the administrative branch of the fed
eral government to be sent in within
thirty days, they admit there IL no
chance of its being taken up at this
Congress.
Beyond this they say it is impossi-
BILE to make any forecast as to when
hearings may start before the joint
congressional committee on reorgar-
ization. because the committee has
never had a meeting to consider its
course of procedure and does not ex-
pect to hold a meeting until after the
Presidents recommendations are re-
ceived.
As already pointed out in The
Star, the scheme of reorganization
urged upon the President by Walter
L. Brown, the Presidents personal
representative on the reorganization
committee, involves attaching all
agencies as far as logically can be
done to existing departments or to
the propoSeo new oepo% eAShe Va euu
cation and welfare. Carrying out
this policy. the Brown scheme Of re-
organization would maintain only
such independent agencies as are of
somewhat judicial character, like the
Federal Trade Commission, or which
have relation to two or more depart
ments.
The application of this theory
obviously, will raise many questions.
which doubtless will mean that cab
met officers and other ofncials Of the
government will be called before the

xations to submit views Of value.

the President personally extended his
Invitation for the conference to the
other governors over the telephone
last night, said Mr.. Harding had not
indicated to them the questions to be
discussed. AS the chief executive
however. had previously announced his
intention Of calling the governors to
Washington to discuss the liquor
question next month. the opinion
seemed to prevail among those here
today that either the date Of that
conference had been advanced or the
meeting Monday had been called as a
possible preliminary to the January
session.
Preus Due Here Today.
Gov. Preus, who was due in Wash
:neton today to have luncheon with
he President. was expected to take
with him a list of the governors who
will follow him from White Sulphur.
The governors definitely accepting the
invitations were: Kilby Of Alabama.

would be unable to attend, as did Gov.

The official program for the conclud-
ng session today included only one ad-
lress, that Of Gov. Allen Of Kansas, on

the governors were prepared to go into

business, with the meeting then being
