DEAD SEA SALTS
 MAY BE HARVESTED
Hope Expressed That This May
 Be Profitable

Jerusalem. July IT 0pp-Efforts soon will he made 10 exploit the vast mineral wealth Of the Dead Sea. and Palestine, the richest country in the world for potash resources. may besin 10 yield up some Of Its riches.
 A government announcement says that in view of the existence Tn the waters Of the Dead Sea of certain minerals. the winning and market ing Of which for commercial pur- poses is believed to be practicable, the crown agents for the colonies, acting on behalf of the government of Palestine, are prepared 10 receive applications for the grant of rights 10 undertake operations.
 The volume of the Dead Sea is somewhere in the neighborhood of l2O,O0o,000,00 cubic metres. Hence the area contains roughly 30,000,- 000, coo tons of mixed salts, Of which possibly 1.500, 0,00O,000 tons are potassium chloride. The salts occur as a strong brine. Immediately ready for evaporation and specialization for the production of pure salts by the natural heat Of the sun. The average percentage Of salts in the brine IS at least 25 per cent, Of which 34 per cent is sodium chloride, four to seven per cent potassium chlo- ride, and sp 10 one percent or more of magnesium bromide.
 The surface of the Dead Sea lies 1922 feet below the sea level. It is 48 miles long and i 2 miles wide, as big as the lake Of Geneva. It is es- timated that 6.500,o00 tons of water fall Into it daily. Because of the ex- traordinary evaporation caused by the intense heat the water Is im- pregnsted with mineral substances. of which common salt constitutes seven per cent, Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea, which destroys nearly all organic life.
 The official announcement that the government Is prepared 10 grant q concession for the exploration of the mineral resources of the Dead Sea follows several years prospecting by group Of Jewish nnanciers of Palestine and England. Recently an American oil company which

has been prospecting for petroleum In the southern part Of the Dead Sea region, has displayed keen interest In the bromide deposits, Other American companies have sent out engineers to examine the brine,
 II Is understood that, because Of the competition, the government de- cided to invite tenders from all in- terested parties before granting concession.

CR0Y'S NEW NOVEL PORTRAITS LIFE ON |R. Y. D. MAIL ROUTE
 JOSIE HAS TROUBLE
LATE BOOK BY PROMINENT AU- THOR SHOWS GRINDING DE- TAILS OF FARM LIFE-HEROlNE
 DIFFERENT FROM FARM GIRLS

NEW YORK, Jan. F (United Press) So many realistic Lochinvars have come riding out of the West on liter ary chargers that this middle ground of the United States has almost sup planted Russia as a hotbed of real ism.
 Homer Croy's new novel, "R F. D. No. Three" is story of farm life from which none of the grinding, suf- locating, burdening details have been omitted. But against this background gleams the figure of the heroine,- Josie Decker, whose mother, city wo- man, had worked to the end that Josie should be saved from the routine that had dulled her life.
 And Josie, young and beautiful, adapted herself to all these easements from drudgery. But Josie had lad vantages." AS result she was asked to do an interpretative dance at the unveiling of the soldiers monument at Junction City. That led to her en- tering beauty contest. The effect of all this, the promise of a movie en- gagement if she won-her absorption in movie literature, and movie dreams, is vividly portrayed in the workaday setting of rural life
 To those who do not understand this middlewest farm life with it's nearby town influence, Josies psy- chology may seem strange. But Ho- mer Croy has done faithful, almost photographic delineation of character and background. Her one desire is to escape from this farm life, symbol ized by R. F. D. No. Three" She jilts her rural farmer sweetheart when she is stirred by dreams of a movie fu- ture.
 She next meets a flashy young salesman, Floyd Krock, who with his city talk, inspires her dreams with a more definite purpose. The villain VI IiAo UOoh dppdI IS BUSH f1lS0- bee, the richest man in the country. He is in love with Josie and jealous of Floyd. A fistic battle at the coun- ty fair prompts Josie to elope with Floyd.
 And here Homer Croy falls beneath the sway of ali obvious complex. For some reason or other, the heroine having proved herself just plain dumb about delaying her marriage, chooses the home circle to advertise what is commonly known as "her disgrace. ? Floyd proves to be thief, is arrested and Josie goes back home So far so bad. But she proceeds to stay there and tell of the illegitimacy of a com ing child accommodating plenty of scan dal to fill all the local gossips for time to come

PAGE THREE

Just why MT Croy insists on this conduct which he inaugurated in his book, Just West of the Water Tow er"-thereby lowering the quality of an otherwise excellent bOok-is baf- fling. One girl might do that sort of thing, but it is beyond credence that two would. Let's hope he does bet ter with his next heroine
 At any rate Josie is saved from in- tolerable gossip by her marriage to Bush Highbee with his many ducats. She had previously loathed this man, reeking of the soil, whose first wife died of overwork in building up his fortune. But Bush had lost an arm through an accident due to Josie. He also lost his pigs through her carry ing cholera to his farm Still he loved her, germs and all, and all things considered there was nothing else for her to do but marry him.
 The characterizations and local col or of the book are excellent, if you were raised on farm.

Sixty Million Dollar
 Depot for Windy City

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-A new epoch in railway terminal development will mark the opening of the sixty-million- dollar Chicago Union Station on or about February 15.
 Spreading out over a larger and larger area, the gray-limestone term inal has continued to grow until, in it's massive style of architecture, it resembles an imposing temple of an- tiquity. From atop the bridges span ming the Chicago River it stands out like new city,
 When the completed terminal swings open under suspicious ceremonies, the terminal building will be quick ly demolished. The whole transfor- nation, including all work on the new terminal, will have been carried out without interference with a single train. This is just one phase of the unusual engineering skill.
 Three baseball diamonds could be laid out upon the great floor of the main waiting room. The concourse building will have a fifteen-acre roof of glass, extending 1,4OO feet beyond the main structure, to form the train shed. Steel umbrella train sheds, ex- tending over several blocks, are al most finished. Several months ago most of the exterior, made of blocks from Indiana's quarries, had been vir- tually completed.
 Parts of the terminal are now in operation, and other sections are be- ing put into use as rapidly as possi- ble. It had been hoped to climax the ten-year undertaking by opening the station Christmas day as a Santa Claus gift to the city" But the date was found to be pI."cature.
