PUCH'S GOLD

It's smooth as glass and glaaier-worn, The color of Missouri corn. I'll work this claim with Number Two Said the new-made miner Pugh. I'll strip the hills of birch and spruce. And show these sourdoughs how to sluiCc.
 He started in to work his claim, And worked just likea house aflame. He rigged sort of rabbit snare To catch the goId-dust in the air. A pretty shovel. he could throw, and send that muck mile or so: To see him make that black muck fly Would make an old time miner sigh A whiskered sourdough saw him toll.

Smoked Gull Highly
Esteemed in Iceland

To shoot a sea gull, take it rome
and roast it would be a foolish deed,
for the coarse and fishy flesh would
be uneatable; but in Iceland the sea
gull is so prepared hat it is better
than young chicken. 1t is, in fact, the
favorite Iceland plate.
Gulls in the early summer nest by
the hundred thousand in Iceland. The
young gulls, which are as fat as but
ter, are taken from the nests by pro-
fessional gull catchers, who at once
kill and skin them. The bodies are
then dipped for a few seconds in boil
ing water. This absolutely destroys
the fishy taste.
The young gulls can be eaten i'm
mediateIy, or they can be hung
smoke till dried. The latter is the
favorite method, as it provides an
abundant stock of gull meat for win.
ter use.
These smoked gulls are as delicious
as any game bird, while they are fat
and nourishing beyond belief.

GROWING PLANTS BY


THE electrical experts of the West
= inghouse Manufacturing company
have worked out a plan by which
fruits, vegetables and flowers al be
grown and developed at will, regard
less of the season. This is done by a
system of electric lights which furnish
an artificial substitute for sunlight.
This light can be turned on, day or
night, all the year round and the
plants can be kept growing on rainy
or cloudy days, in winter as well as
in spring or summer.
Old man Fessler had the same idea
many years ago, although he didn't
know anything about electricity. In
one Of his quaint poems, James Whit
comb Riley told Of old Bee Fessler
down in Posey county, Indiana. Fess-
Ter was not only a great authority on
bees, but he was also a thrifty soul.
He hated to see his bees loaf all win
ter, so he boxed his hives and took
them down to Florida in the fall. When
he turned the bees loose, they thought
they had slipped up on their calendar
and that it was another spring. So
they went to work as hard as they
could, making honey. In the sprins
Fessler took them back to Indiana.
where they worked al summer. and in
the fall, he shipped them down to
Florida again. In this way he got
twelve months work out of them, in
stead of six.
But afterwhile the bees got tired of
perpetual work. They got confused in
their calculations. Riley says they said
seems like this summer never vi
end" So they went on a strike and
refused to work at all.
Evidently, the growers Of vegetables
by artificial sunlight are wiser than
Fessler. They plan to let their plants
sleep for an hour after shutdown end
then turn the lights on for five hours,
during which time the plants work on
the night shift. Then they turn the
lights off and let the plants sleep until
sunrise.
If this plan is successful. the food
question vii. be solved for all parts Of
the world where electric light can be
secured. Whether these electrically
grown fruits and vegetables will have
the flavor and no%urishing qualities of
those grown by sunlight remains to be
seen. We know that sunlight is nee
essary for the growth of all living
things. But there may be qualities In
the light from the sun that cannot be
produced artiicially. This world has
needed and used light from the sun for
millions Of years and there may be
something in the sunlight that neither
the electrician nor the chemist has yet
discovered.

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor Of "HEALTH"
H A TIE DIFFERENCE?

eide by side on the picture page of
~ one of our Sunday newspaper sup
plements appear two pictures, one OF a
girl, twenty-one years old, who is only
thirty-six inches tall, and the other
Of the biggest man in Europe, who re
Gently arrived in this country. He is
seven feet and nine inches In height
and weighs three hundred and fifty
pounds.
Probably there have been smaller
people than this little girl three feet
in height. and taller people than this
giant of nearly eight feet. History
records astonishing variations in hu-
man beings. The celebrated Tom
Thumb, whom Barnum exhibited all
over the world, was only twenty-one
inches high. Chang, the Chinese giant,
who was another of Barnum's freaks,
was eight feet tall.
Nor are these the limit. History tells
Of a member Of Frederick the Greats
regiment of giants, who was eight feet
and six inches tall, while Button, the
French naturalist, says he saw a man
who was only sixteen inches in height.
What is the difference between these
very little people, who never grow
beyond the size of childhood, and these
giants, who are like the monsters OF
fable? 1t isn't age. 1t isn't the food
they eat, for they have all had much
the same diet as ordinary people. 1t
isn't their surroundings, which are
much the same. 1t isn't heredity, that
scapegoat on which we are fond of
unloading all our shortcomings. The
parents of both pygmies and giants are
usually ordinary-sized persons.
What is the difference? Nobody
knows. Yet 1t must be some difference
in the machinery or working Of their
bodies.
Modern scientific study has shown
that each part of u wonderfully
complex bodies, no matter how small,
has a definite work to do, and that we
have normal development and health
only as each part does its work. If
any of the numerous glands in our
body either overwork or underworld, 1t
affects the entire body.
Some of these glands we know a
good deal about. We know that If the
gland or its %secretions are less than
they should be, the body does not grow
to natural proportions.
Most of the dwarfs one sees on the
streets are persons in whom, in child
hood fha thvrofd Gland urac dofeiput
Wonderful changes have been pro-
duced in these 'cretins," as they are
called, by feeding them the thyroid
glands of sheep or calves. Giantism
is probably due, in sope cases, to dis
ease of the pituitary body, a gland at
the base of the brain. But how to pre-
rent it or to cure it no one knows.

ROAD
BUILDING
HIGHWAY BUILDERS
FACE HARD

The number Of automobiles and
trucks in this country has multiplied
more thar IL times since 1918. This
gives an idea Of the tremendous prob
lem faced by our road builders. and 1t
explains why our highway system has
not been able to meet the traffic de-
mands. The extent to which motor
vehicles can be used depends entirely
upon the available good highways. The
motor vehicle. and the adequate road
forms a combination which works for
the best interests of the entire COM
munity.
Within recent years there has de-
velOped a new vision Of trade posi-
bilities. We need national road sys-
tems-systems that will give us a de-
pendable transportation to supplement
our national highways. We need good
road systems ID order that the radius
of motor traffic may be heightened and
its benefits extended to all commune
ties and all classes of people.
The people CT this country are de-
manding roads that will bear the traf-
fc requirements of today, roads that
will bear the shocks of great loads
driven at high speeds. roads over
economy, and over which all kinds of
highway traffic can operate regardless
of weather or season. and above all,
roads that will be permanent. There
is no economy in temporary construc-
ton. With such construction, vast
maintenance, which In the end will
be far In excess of the amount re-
Quired for permanent construction In
the beginning.
During the 10 years that have
elapsed since the start was made for
a highway system in the United
States, practically every type of road
has been built, and of the few that
have been able to come through IN
scathed the hard surface seems to have
proven itself superior in actual SER
vice.
A surface which will remain even
and regular and unchanged by the
hammering of vehicles is one of the
advantages of the hard surface. Mod
ern traffic moves rapidly and the
wheels deliver an Impact far greater
than that of any horse-drawn traffic.
If the material of which the surface
is constructed has not the rightly
and strength to sustain the weight
and impact of passing loads the sur
face will be deformed into waves,
holes and ruts, and the quality OF
evenness will be lost. Obviously, if a
paved road is to be made good it must
have a sufficiently hard surface to
distribute the weight of heavy wheel
loads over a large area of the under
lying soil.
Such pavement surface is imper-
viOhs to climatic changes. Heat does
not soften the binder, permitting it
to flow cold does not make it brittle,
causing it to chip. Its gritty surface
! gives as good traction when wet as
when dry. thus preventing dangerous
skidding. Los Angeles, Seattle, and
Portland, where they have more or
less rain during the winter. use hard
pavements on the hills.
