Something to Think About
Blu F. A. DALKER

ugly word to make you thoroughly
miserable.
1t is too late now for regrets. You
have lost n day and are slipping down
hill. while the 'still small voice" is
calling in your ears to be steady,
dutious and thoughtful of your future.
Thousands of llght-headed, variable
young men and women have missed
their goal through their %unconcern Of
tomorrow.
Instead of looking forward, sharp
ening their wits. keeping their vision
~unclouded, and giving each hour the
best that is in them, they play fast
and loose with today, and thereby
misstep with the progressive and fall
behind.
Though they rail against the Fates,
which they feel will bring them the
frown of tomorrow, they shun help
full faith and courage, forget their
prayers and slip hopelessly down and
down to the yawning abyss of despair,
too weak to rise or turn their faces
toward the still smiling countenance
of Hope.

WI Salt lake in 1925. If he
should come back now. he
would I've amazed to see the long
est bridge ever constructed. where
the tracks of the Southern Pacific
railway cross the lake on n typical
American timber trestle 20 miles in
length. Originally this bridge was

the trestle have been replaced by n
I'LL.
ON, tally this bridge is called the
Great Salt lake cutoff of the South
ern Pacific road. 1t is a railway line
aid in an old lake bed from Lucin to
Ogden. Utah. 103 miles. Part OF this
lake bed is dry. part Is under water. The
part under water Is Great Salt lake.
The cutoff Is as straight as the crow
mes. Ii was built to save the greater
grades md curves and distance of the
old line. The curves the new line
saves w'lld turn a train around
eleven lines. The power saved in
moving an average freight train be-

average man $500 miles.

The place where Salt Lake City now
stands was then 900 feet under water.
But by and by there was less rain.
Lake Bonneville grew smaller and
smaller until 1t was no larger than
Lake Erie. No stream now ran from
IL, FOR its surface was lower than
the pass to the north.
Now, II you pou water into n pan.
and set II out into the warm sunshine.
by and by the water will be gone. 1t
will have evaporated. But If there
were ever so little salt in the water,
the salt will still be Ia the pan after
the water is gone.
Thus 1t was with Lake Bonneville
The rivers that ran into 1t had a little
salt in them. So long as a river
ran out of Lake Bonneville it carried
this salt away as fast as IL came in.
But when no river flowed from 1t. and
the water went up in the air by evap-
Grafton. the salt remained.
In time Lake Bonneville grew very
salty. The seasons grew drier and
drier until one hot summer day Lake
Bonneville was no longer n lake of
water, but just n lake of salt. No
n knows how long Lake Bonneville
was dry. Eventually, however, an
other change came. The seasons grew
colder. The water did no evaporate
so fast. Perhaps more rain fell and
the rivers that ran into the saucer
grew larger. AT any rate, a new lake
came where the old one had been. 1t
wa not so large as Lake Bonneville.
Al present this lake is very salty,
and it is called Great Salt lake.
Great Salt lake overs 1000 square
miles, Is IS miles long, 81 miles wide
and. in the deepest places. 80 feet
deep. II is the most salty sea on
earth except the Dead sen. In every
five pounds of water is one pound of
salts, of which 10 ounces are com
mon salt. Biologists have estimated
that Great Salt lake is at least $1,000
years old. They calculate, more
over. that there are 100000. 900 tons
Of salt In its waters.
Every three years and n half the
sun draws up from the lake as much
water as is now In II. But the streams
HCNlnp INTO tnt iuht htep IL pretty
well filled, just the same. The water
in the lake is so heavy that one can
moi sink in It. There are no fish in
Grent Salt lake. A shrimp rarely ex-
ceedlng one-thlrd OF an inch In length
lives there. Certain young flies live
in the lake before they get their
wings. Seagulls make their home
along the shore, and thousands Of pol
licnns have their homes on the Islands
of Great Salt lake. II IL snid that
no one knows where they came from.

WASHINGTON NOTES
The Debt Agreement.

The British are practical people.
They do not shirk from compromise
or concession on minor points, even
when involving considerable disap-
pointment or sacrifice, if some larger
or later benefit is assured. Such an
evidence of international good sense
is the British acceptance of the Amer
lean debt settlement terms.
The die hards" were loath to sub
nit to the burdens involved in the in
terest terms and the dollar medium of
payment. These did not comport with
either pride or comfort. But Chancel-
lor Baldwin, frank toward both peo-
pies, made it bluntly plain that this
was the best possible bargain. And
the British cabinet has had vision
enough to look to the gains behind the
settlement.
In a world landscape shadowed by
clouds in both western and eastern
Europe, this is a flash of sunshine
that stretches broadly across the At

ter-war settlements. Since the armis-
tice there has been little in the world
but friction and suspicion and disput-
ing among nations. 1t is edifying and
encouraging to have the two greatest
nations agree now on a big issue that
might have remained wearisome con-
tention.
A basic achievement is had toward
the clarifying of all after-war finance.
With the cancellation or reputation
chimera finally laid, the way should
gradually open for agreement and
composition on other debt relations.
In any or in all of these it may be
that altered conditions later may call
for revision of initial agreements
just as might be the case also in re-

Italian Budget Balancing.

What is taking place in Italy under
the Mussolini government could be re
peated to a greater or less degree in
every country in Europe. What the
Italians are doing is no more than
what any patriotic people can do in
cooperation with their government.
Mussolini is instituting sweeping re-
forms to make the Italian budget bal
ance. Governmental employees are
being dismissed wherever they can be
spared, more than 10000 workers on
the state railways having been separ-
ated from the payroll. The prevail
ing eight-hour day is to be eight eff
fective working hours. Far from tax
ing offense at what their government
is doing, the Italian people are assist
ing in every way. Groups of workers
are offering to work extra hours for
the benefit of the government, and
even war cripples are surrendering
their pension rights in order to swell
the country's resources. These facts
furnish food for thought for some
classes of American citizens who are
constantly on the alert for a chance to
raid the American Treasury on some
pretext or other.

We may have a few "diehards" of
