DAMS CREATE LAKES.
Landscape May Be Spoiled, But
Fishermen Rejoice.

The construction of great dams for
storing water for irrigation and
power often spoils the landscape in
the immediate vicinity of the dams.
but the Disagreement is amply
atoned for by the creation of lakes
capable of supporting great quaint
ties of food fishes.
In this relation it is of interest to
note what has been done in the case
of the impounded waters in the
Sierra Nevada Mountains.
The building Of the Crane Valley
dam created Bass Lake. Il sheet OF

In the state of Louisiana there
are no counties" as in other States,
but instead the subdivisions are
parishes, due to the fact that in 1907

districts formed. o. .ginally Louisiana
was divided into IL counties, how

heal TIL BOARD
Fight TAKEN UP
by POLITICIANS
State Republican Leaders
Center Interest on Long
SquabbIe.

While the protracted State board
of health squabble has been agitating
the funny-bone of many an anti
administration politician, the affair
is assuming an unsavory taste to
at least two State officials likely to
be out for reelection or other Of
fees next fall.
Al concerted effort is being made
by Republican leaders to efface this
threatening blot on the administra-
tion's record, now that the general
election campaign is under way.
While the actual leader Of the
health board instruction cannot be,
reached, because he is a Democrat,
his two followers, Republicans, are
the targets of entreaties from all
quarters Of the State to lay off in
the name of the party
The unfortunate destinies of the
health board, since early last sum-
mer, have been guided by three
members. DR.. Homer G. Haas Of
Peru, Miami County Republican
chairman; DR.. James Allan Turner
of Nashville, Brown County Repub-
lican chairman, and DR.. T. Victor
Keene, Indianapolis, Democrat.
Keene has been the leader of the
movement against DR.. William F.
King, secretary. Keene has been
the leader Of the movement against
DIR. William f. King, secretary.
Keene has been ably assisted by
Drs. Turner and Haas, much to the
delight of Democrats and to- the
woe of Republicans.
Ir spite of the appeals Of Repub-
leans in general, Dr.. Keene's In
fluence over his two satellites has
been little short of magic. Some
Republicans have held out for the
insurgents, but their array has been
negligible.
Drs. Turner and Haas were named
to the board last spring by a statu-
tory committee composed of Gov
ernor jackson, State Auditor L.. S.
Bowman and Secretary of State
Frederick E. Schortemeier. Jackson,
it is known, was a little chary about
the appointments. His views were
overridden by Schortemeier and
Bowman, who then had given little
thought to this years campaign.
Now that the two have plunged
themselves into the race for re-elec-
ton, they have grasped the public
pulse and register concern.
Friends of State Senator George
W. Sims Of Terre Haute, an an
nounced opponent of Schortemeier
are making political capital of the
latter's responsibility in the board
of health affair.
Schortemeier found himself facing
the facts last week when he spoke
to Associated Building Contractors
Of Indiana at Terre Haute. The
contractors adopted a resolution CEN

Desert Warriors Who
Keep Faces CoUered

Out In the central Sahara men of
wandering desert tribes go yelled and
bare-faced women have as free and
independent status as their sisters
In Europe.
Bearing traces of having started out
as matriRrchy, this warlike nomad
race of Tuaregs, very little known to
Europeans, was the subject Of an adj
dress by Francis ROdd to the smem-
bers Of the Royal Geographical society
at London recently.
Mr. ROdd has made prolonged stay
In northern Africa studying the Gus
toms and language Of this strange
race, Of whom there lis cultural evil
den00, he says, Of having once enjoyed
a higher degree Of civilization than
that displayed IN their present state.
They have written script which is
not used by any other existing people,
the origin dc which scientists have not
Jet been able to trace. That a pasto-
raj race Of confirmed nomadic habits
should have a welI-developed script
when their daily life calls for no need
of writing is, Mr.. Rodd points out, ex-
ceedinAiy remarkable.
Though Mohammedans, the Tuaregs
are homogeneous and women occupy a
position OF independence, very unusual
IN desert tribes. They choose their
own husbands and are the repositories
Of learning and the art Of poetry.
They teach the children to read and
write and the lore Of their people.
They have men friends who are not
relatives, give evening parties to re-
cite their poetical illusions and enjoy
independent property rights as well.
The early history Of the People Of
tha VEIL" as classical writer's called
them, seems to be lost for the most
part, and scientists cannot agree on
the basic facts in its reconstruction.
More Investigations are needed, &C
cording to Mr.. Rodd, to clear mp the
mystery Of the origin of this little
studied race.

WEDDING IN PERSIA
rs LENGTHY AFFAIR.
But 1t is Preceded BY Arrangement.

But 1t Is Preceded by Arrangement.
for Divorce.
The marriage ceremonies which
solemnize a wedding among the Mo
hamedans OF Persia are among the
! most curious and elaborate in the
world. Any American bridegroom
who dislikes what men are wont to
describe as the fuss and bother Of
formal wedding should regard the
case OF his Persian brother and take
heart.
The Persian ceremony may take
from one to two weeks for its compile
ton. Often the betrothal is matter
of many years standing.s having been
az anged by the parents when the
rinciples were still young children.
When the time for the marriage ar
rives. the guests are summoned by
heralds, who go about the neighboring
villages, bearing gifts of apples,
cloves and roses to accompany the in
vitations. When some powerful per-
sonage is to be invited. the father of
the bridegroom does not send a herald
but goes himself, bearing as rich a
present as he can afford to give.
Before the wedding, there is also
curious little business arrangement
entered into. This is the matter of
''kaben," or the price of divorce. A
sum is agreed upon in advance by the
payment of which the future husband
can put aside his wife at any time.
When it is desired to make divorce
difficult, the ''kaben" is set at some
impossible sum or commodity The
husband may be required to give the
bride hundredweight of mosquito
wings, or 5ne of his arms or legs be
fore he can divorce her, condition
which generally makes the marriage a
permanent affair.
The actual wedding festivities ex-
tend over days. The guests are given
rooms in the house and served with
rich foods and sweetmeats. Musicians
and dancing girls are hired to enter
tain them, and if the families of bride
and bridegroom are rich, the favorite
sport of, the Persians may be staged
by a pair of professional wrestlers.

sion Of Michigan is preparing to car

Forestry association.
The state now owns, in round num-
bers, $4,000 acres of land. 1t is pro-
posed to plant trees at the rate of
1880 acres per annum and, in what
is known as a period Of rotation con-
sisting of sixty years, all Of 100000
acres can be planted. One-half of the
other 100000 acres will in the next

duce sufficient material, which by cut

Beginning with 1947 it is thought
advisable, according to the plan, to
cut at the rate of 1850 acres per an
nun and plant If at the same rate
with the more valuable pines. By
1877 the remaining $4,000 acres will
be treated in a like manner SO that

lands will have been completed in

GIVES REALITY TO FILM.

Projection System is AID TO MOVIE
Production.
Things about us seem solid because
each eye sees from a slightly differ
ent view. This can easily be tested
by looking through a window. Close
first one eye and then the other, and
the window framing crosses the view
at entirely different points.
What really happens is that each
eye looks around" rather more of
one side of an object than the other
eye: and it is the combination of the
two Impressions on the brain thar
gives us the final impression of
solidity or body.
In a system Of projection for motion
pictures recently patented by M. F.
Sullivan, this principle is applied so
as to give an effect of reality or
solidity to the film projected on the
screen.
BY using two films which give the
point of view from each eye and pro-
jecting pictures from each film strip
alternately on the screen. the i'm
preston of solidity is attained, since
it is only necessary to allow that
eye to view the screen. when its cor
responding film picture is being pro-
jected thereon. Popular Science

Hear Music.
The Bay of Kizuki is a Japanese
watering place, and like any watering
place in America, it has fine sandy
beach stretching half a mile between
two long green hills. and great hotel
and a casino, and good fishing. In adj
dition to these things, it has a sacred
temple and wonderful rock.
The hotel is sufficiently different
from any outside the orient, for its ev-
cry room is open to the street and you
may. see at a glance dozens of families
playing, eating. sleeping. The Japan
ese do not know privacy as the occi-
dent knows it They go about all
things openly.
All day at Kizuki bay the people
will disport themselves as man has
disportetd by the sea since before his
memories began. The water will be
filled with splashing figures and the
air with the shrill voices of children
and women, the deep outlaws Of men.
There is music, too, of the Japanese
sort, and men put out in boats to fish
and sail.
But the event of the day comes in
the evening, when the sun drops into
the bay, turning it into gold, and the
protecting arms Of the hills are plung-
