THINGS UNUSUAL
HAT ISLAND
By T. T. MAXEY
co. ls3<. weste
per Union)

Great Salt lake Is the strangest lake on this continent. In keeping with this situation. one of the strangest is- lands in America Is in this strange lake. As If to perpetuate this strange ness, the entire population of this is- land consists of conglomeration of bird life-pelicans, seagulls, and heron, or crane, about 0O,000-all told.
 Hat island, appropriately nicknamed Bird island, has an area of about 22 acres and is located many miles off shore. There are no trees on 1t and no vegetable growths aside from some scrubby sage brush. There Is no rec ord of animal life on It and there Is no human life on It. Nothing having a food value grows on 1t. Further more, 1t Is said that no living thing. with the exception of minute shrimp, can live in the saltiest of salt waters which surround 1t.
 There is ditty which says, "A wise old bird is the pelican" The ex- istence of this bird colony appears to bear out the truth of this statement. Apparently, q band of roaming peli- cans from the Pacific coast concluded that the location of this isolated refuge made 1t a veritable paradise for the rearing of their young. It was practically immune from disturbance by man; 1t appeared to be free from danger to both eggs and young birds because of the absence of prowling
  favorable - the sun shining on the rocks would assist the process of in- cubating the eggs while the birds were absent from their nests. Accordingly, since no trace of the pelican, in num- bers, Is found In any other section of the western inter-mountain region, ex- cept at Yellowstone lake in Yellow stone park, the supposltion Is that the news of this find" was communicated to the haunts of the tribe of pelicans along the Pacific coast, because now, especially during the mating season, great flocks of these peculiar birds migrate hundreds of miles over noun tans, desert and plain to this rookery in the midst of this salten sea. Later. the seagulls and cranes, sensing the security enjoyed by the pelicans, fol lowed and also adopted this as their refuge
 The utter lack of food on this isle is not a serious matter because these birds are all good long distance flyers They fly to the outlets of fresh water rivers and lakes and obtain the neces- sary sustenance, the average round trip being about 80 miles.

First Bifocal Lens

Benjamin Franklin invented the bi. focal eyeglasses-oneo of the greatest of blessings-to fit his own needs. At Paris he frequently dined out where there were beautiful women in the com pany. Like all sensible men, he was fond of good food, and iond of looking at lovely women. He declared 1t to be important to see your food before you put it into your mouth; but he also wished to see the faces of the guests that decorated the table. It was incon. yenient to put on one pair of spectacles to eat, and another pair every time anybody spoke to him. He therefore hit upon the device of having the upper part of his glasses consist of one lens, and the lower of another, which proved in practice, like nearly everything he thought of eminently satisfactory.- W. L. Phelps in Some Makers of American Literature'

Gentle Judgment

When he was questioned about his religious opinlons-about all sorts of things on which 1t seems to us d gross impertinence to question stranger every letter was answered, and with such courtesy, such gentleness, such willingness to assume the best of those who criticised him, as to compel the admission that there was something of saintiness In the life of Darwin. To one who had attacked him rather vehemently, and then apologized, Oar. win wrote: Do not think I was an- noyed at your letter. I saw that you had been thinking with animation, and therefore expressed yourself strongly, and so l understood.'-A. A. Maude Royden, in ~The Friendship of God"

Great Awakening Is
 Coming to This Man

There's certain member of the Hollywood Athletic club who didn't know what he was getting into. when he joined. It seems that his wife took great fancy to the beauty parlor, and when she discovered that she could go there as often as she pleased and merely sign tab, she got the habit bad.
 Hubby. being busy man, had not gone to the club, and thinking that the bills at the end of each month were merely announcements of com ing events, he never opened them. Finally he did open one envelope, and It chanced to be letter telling him that no more service could be extend ed his wife until the account was settled.
 After inspecting the bill, he decided that this was great news and sent the club a letter of thanks-Los Angeles Times.

KEEPING WELL

DIR. FREDERICK R. GREEN Editor of HEALTH"

DROBABLY the average lndividua A doesn't realize what an impDrtan' part sleep and rest play n h. ;,n,s cal and mental well-beIns and eff ciency.
 There is occasionally q person wht apparently gets along very well w'tf less sleep but eighl honrs is the re Quiremeni of the ordinary adult II order 10 keep body anu mind fun.'iiop ing at their best
 To the perfectly healthy irdivl dual sleep Is simpl, to lie down 10 "inse the eyes. and 10 lGse ""nsrinll+ ne>S Unfortunately few nt Is ar $n ;lt'Hrly normal that going to >!erp is >s;rh g simple matter. We lie awake many minutes. sometimes many hours. be fore exhaustion finally brings sleep
 The inability to drop off to sleep aI once may be due to any one of q nun Der of things. Presenf-day life with Its complexities lack "f exercise. lack of fresh air in the sleeping room. faulty diet. worry over business or personal affairs, tasks uncoH!,,l..ted. overindul gence in tea or coffee or any one of dozen physical causes may be al the bottom of the trouble
 If we go about ! cunscientiously and with determination. II Is coinpara' lively easy to overcome most of these factors. We can correct the lack of exercise and fresh air As to diet. the diet which agrees besl rith the indl- vidual is the one thai makes him sleep best.

HOW GREAT MEN
 MAKE LOVE
 AS REVEALED BY THEIR LOVE LETTERS By JOSEPH KAYE
LAURENCE STERNE AND
 KITTY TOURMANTELLE
By JOSEPH KAYE

THE wonder has often been ex- ! pressed that Laurence Sterne was born an Englishman and not French man or a Latin. For the idea of a clergyman who was both bold and in- discriminate lover and a daring and unconventional wit is a rather incon ceivable combination for a Britisher. However, the world has had to ac. cept Laurence Sterne as is and this has in no way detracted from the ad miration accorded him as the author of those classics, Tristan Shandy" and "A Sentimental Journey"
 One of Reverend Sterne's many loves was Kitty Tourmantelle, French girl whom Sterne had known in France, and to whom the following letter was addressed after he was married:
 "I have sent you pot of sweet meats and a pot of honey. neither of them half SO sweet as yourself; but don't grow vain upon this or presume to grow sour upon this character of sweetness I give you. for if you do I shall send you a pot of pickles by way of contraries to bring you to yourself again.
 Whatever changes happen to you believe me, I am unalterably yours and according to our motto, such 8 one, my dear Kitty:

Old Mourning Customs

The Scriptures set forth many in. teresting details concerning the method of Jewish mourning. The next of kin closed the eyes of the deceased; the corpse was bathed and, If person of any consequence, the body was laid for a time in spices, or was anointed with them, swathed in linen bandages and went bareheaded and barefooted. GOV. cred their mouths and kept silence, wore black cloth and sat in ashes. Funeral songs were sung by hired sing. CTS and splendid sepulchers containing numerous inches were carved out of rock. AS a niche was filled. a stone was rolled against the opening.

Likens Modern Life to
 Pieceuork m Factory

Life is getting more and more like piecework in a factory says pr. Mary Cunning Rose, president of the Wom- ems Medical society of the state of New York.
 You push on to see if you can't do just a little extra all the time. And there Is always that push to do more
 If you drive n0torcar, and many eopLe do, your nerves are shocked every time you take the wheel.
 "Women need more sleep. Eight to len hours Some are better off with twelve.
 "The fact that so many in New York tity eat in restaurants accounts for the fact that our death rate is lower than elsewhere in the state. People lon't order or eat more than they need In restaurant Operated under the board of health. public places must have fresh, good food, not the spoiled products they sold 20 years ago."
 Doctor Rose recommends her own profession as particularly satisfying one for her own sex, since 1t demands qualifications usually found in wom- en, patience, sympathy and attention to detail-qualiticatlo which will not be wasted in such career.
 We need more doctors" continued Doctor Rose. All those l know are busy. Of course, 1t takes years of preparation, and business career seems to bring results more quickly -Margery Rex. in the New York Iourpal

RAISING SALARIES CONTRARY TO CHARTER

The Park Commission was not aware the city charter did not per- init an increase of the salary of the park superintendent without con- sent of the Common Council, so it is stated. Section five of chapter 29 of the city charter appears plain.
 The step was taken. and now the rcprisas. Air tight ordinances will be prepared 10 guide the footsteps of the Commission If the charter isn't specific enough for the purpose.
 Edward r. Hall of the board of finances and taxation seems 10 think the charter is specific; the mayor apparently is of the same opinion. Here is what the charter says: Said park commissioners shall have pow CT 10 employ such number of super intendents or assistant superintend- cnts and fix their salaries, subject to the approval of the Common Council"
 It is essential that there be order and system in all details of the city government. Raising salaries out of season is not order and system.
 The Park Commission is com- posed of mon apparently anxious to do the right thing; as the euperin- tendent of parks has increased duties they thought it was right and proper 10 increase his emolumcnt. When they realize exactly what the charter specifics they might be will ing again to exercise their sense Of right by rcctifying the error.

CONNECTICUT CH.tRN OF DRASTIC LAWS

Connecticut has not greatly chang cd it's attitude toward prohibition enforcement. The slashing defeat of the Whecl,r bill proved if. II is not that the state is opposed to co- operating with the federal govern mont in rh" enforcement of redcr- al statute. but citizens are cous,rNa- tive about taking a step that might make it more difficult 10 enforce lh" law than is the case at present
 The Volstead act is drastic. Sec ton six of the second title Of the ac, is declared by some to he all that is needed to clutch the citizens with bone dry enforcement, provided there is sufficient power behind inc enforcing machinery to make the law effective. The federal gor"rn- mrnt however, has been unabie 10 make all the stings of its Nols'ead act felt: but this cannot, be con- strued as being the fault Of states. The Wheeler bill would have gon" further than the Nolstcad act; some states have passed laws showing similar tendencies. But Connecticut which did not join in ratifying the 18th ano anJmenL will be among the
