HEALTHY BABIES OF JAPAN
They Seem to Have a Hard Time, Ac-

According to our modern scientific

babies, those of Japan would seem to

healthier, nor fatter looking little NOR

however, that this latter treatment
often does affect the eyes Of the chill

many with babies on their backs. The

Modern Jerusalem.

The ancient city Of Jerusalem, where
Christ did SO many of his mighty
works, now has a modern waterworks
system. The reservoirs known as the
Pools of Solomon were not really
Solomon's at all, hut were made by
Roman engineers. These have been
cleaned out and their leaks stopped.
Now two of them are at work again.
They hold 40,OOO,0OO gallons.
The pools are supplied from a spring
in a cavern called Biz Darash. A
large quantity of gravel and stones has
been removed, and the aqueduct and
tunnels between the spring and the
pools repaired; and Jerusalem has its
lp-to-date waterworks-a splendid
tribute to the science Of ancient Rome.
For many years the origin Of Jeru-
salem's water supply was a secret.
During the siege Of Jerusalem the be-
siegers we're disappointed in their hope
Of the city su%rrendering through lack
Of water.

BksKING SHARK NEVER BITES
This May Have Been Fortunate for
Men Who Caught Monster
of Long Key.

The 40,0OO-pound sea monster
caught off Long Key has been identi-
fed as an Indo-Pacific basking shark
by L. l.. Mowbray, vice president OF
the New York aquarium. The bask-
ing shark, Mr.. Mowbray announces, Is
harmless when let alone. Permit him
to bask placidly on the undulating
bosom of the sea, and he bears no
creature Ill will.
1t is fortunate for those who so
down to the sea in ships or down to
the surf to swim that the creature Is
thus disposed. 1t required an all-day
struggle and so shots from a high-pow-
cred rife to subdue him. once his
wrath was stirred by the stab Of a
harpoon. He was 35 feet long, % feet
In greatest circumference and had a
tail span Of II feet.
Were such a creature Of an agrees
siye nature the sea in his vicinity
would be hardly safe for the average
submarine, while pleasure boats would
afford no protection whatever from
his fury, and If he used the waters Of
the North Atlantic coast as a basking
ground surf bathing would soon be-
come obsolete.
Hitherto the children Of the earth
have found abundant reason for graft
tude that r~attlesnakes cannot fly Like
hawks, or tigers run like antelopes, or
housefiies sting like wasps. To this
list Of blessings we may now add the
fact that basking sharks do not bite.

GRAZING LAND QUESTION

In the contention of John Yelland.
appearing elsewhere in this issue,
there is a lot of merit. The lands
of this state are nominally owned by
the government, which is abouG the
same as saying that they belong to
everybody or nobody. Somebody is
getting their use. but no one is in a
position to retain it and count upon
it as much as a year OF a mouth
ahead. Under the laws of Nevada
the state engineer has granted title
TO the water in numerous desert
springs to stockmen applying sot it.
accepting certain conditions and max
ing certain improvements, but not
TO the land in which the water rises
or from which it flows until it sinks
again. This belongs to the govern
ment and anybody has a right to use
or occupy 1t. Local stockmen re-
spect the rights of their neighbors
through friendship and common con
sent, but with the transient sheep
men from Utah, Idaho CT Montana
there are no such ties. 1t means
that the Nevada taxpayer, paying
upon the improvements erected at
these springs, frequently loses the
accruing benefits.
And, as Mr.. Yelland says. il title
TO these lands could be passed II
would give the state a taxing power
that it does not possess. II rs adding
to the wealth ard e of the
state. But this, important as it is,
is not as much so as the benefit that
the state would derive in the form
Of giving stability to a business that
needs what friendly measures of sup
port that may be given it without
oversteppnng the rule of granting
special privilege to none.
This land question is an old-timer
and there will be thousands to .op-
pose disposal of public lands to
stockmen. Others oppose letting the
state have a say in their handling
1t is plain that they are not being
utilized for the benefit of the public
at large and the question may turn
on that of whether the national gov
eminent will administer them to
their real prophietors. the people,
with less fraud and scandal than the
state.

their station the. rest of womanhood
and mankind.
Many things may be said ard done
in the name OF logic, which are minus
the element of reason and common
! sense. This is one that can be argoed
10 what may be termed a logical con-
clusion, but it is based on the as
sumption that the i'll that is sought
to be eradicated IS so overwhelming
as to submerge every other thing
that is good and bad in the whole
world, social state, civilization the
| home and all.
The divorce evil is had enough,
but the state of things in Germany
and Russia where free love is prac-
ticed to a larger extent ttan the
world in general knows, is Il great
deal worse. What Jldge Lindsay
suggests in effect is that America be
dragged down to the same level.
Rather to strive to discover condi-
tions by which unhappy marriage
may be reduced to a minimum and
eliminate divorce as far as possible,
he would at one fell swoop dc away
with marriage entirely, bringing the
happy homo to the state CT the for
eign howell of illicit sexual traffic, fill
ing the world with fathcrlei IS Off
spring, reducing to the level of the
common law wife the mother whose
exalted view OF life and the hereafter
has commanded her to prize her vir-
tue above all else in this world
AS we'll to cure horse stealing
make it a law that horses are not
property and any one may take and
use them at will. In like manner,
since recently it has been shown that
murder in America surpasses the
earth, go back to the old system Of
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth, letting men rend and STAY each
other without hindrance from the
law. Because some small percentage
of the people are engaged in the no.
BILE art of auto banditry and the law
officers have proved to be unable to
cope with them, remove the restraints
and legalize the profession, inviting
everybody to engage in it.
1t comes down to one thing. IL is
either have respectable society, in
Guiding the home and hearthstone,
with motherhood, fatherhood, sister
hood and brotherhood, these un-
tainted and nothing for which they
need apologize, blush or explain away
or bolshevism. The Lindsay screed
leads directly to the latter.
One trouble with the vastenss OF
the literary output of the dey is the
fact that more and more fl FAX road
ing matter must be furnished to en-
terrain if not edify the supposedly
hungering populace for all that bor-
ders upon salaciousness in print and
all the inns and outs thereto. This
Denver jurist cannot be fair to him
self and say that he expects or has
hopes of having his ideas written
into American law or custom, and
he cannot deny that in a~ycd1cating
his Ideas of alleged marital reform
he is but pandering to a taste which
finds its expression only ia these

Jones to work for his board. Every

appeared in the court of Colonel
Sam Steele, commander Of the mount
