Much Cane Land In
Porto RicO's Swamps

New York, Aug. S.-(P)-Sugar
cane worth millions of dollars could
be produced on swamp land now ly-
ing below sea level in Porto, Rico.
This swamp Of 10000 acres was dis
covered by DR.. H. A. Gleason, cura-
tor Of the New York Botanical Gar
den, who recently completed an eco
logical survey of the island.
DR.. Gleason said that this potential
wealth would need a system similar
to Hollands bikes for drainage anG
pointed out that in this and other
now useless areas the drainage might
be carried out with windmilla be-
cause of the constant winds.
Once Was Dry Land
DR.. Gleasons geological survey,
conducted in cooperation with the
insular government, constituted the
first complete study of the plant life
and possibilities of Porto Rico.
He also believes that this sunken
land once sloped down to the ocean.
AT some prehistoric time" he as
serted, "it was dry land sloping down
to the north shore. Along that north
shore great ridge Of sand was piled
up by the wind and in the course OF
time gradually consolidated into rock
4hCh tliO ldII0 USSdH " S1lh, ItlC
ridge of rock was brought down to
the level of the ocean, and the waves
pounding away at it for thousands of
years finally broke the gaps in the
rock and let the ocean through"
Plant Life Differs
Great differences in the plant life
on the north and south sides of the
island were discovered. although the
island Is not more than fifty miles
wide at any place. This was ascrib-
ed to the variation in rainfall. which
averages sixty to eighty inches an
nually on the north and only half
that much south.
While the swamp is prevalent along
the north shore, the south shore was
found similar to the deserts of Ari-
iona and Mexico. Scrubby thickets,
cactus and century plants were found
along the south shore, among them
being cacti which climb trees.
The Palo de Polio, or Wood of
Chicken" also received it's first sci
entif1c notice. Shooting out large
buttress roots the trunks at the base
often attain q circumference of q

CAR HIT RAKE AND THE
RAKE WALLOPED MAN

When the rake with which he was
spreading gravel was struck by a
speeding autoist Wednesday after
noon, w. Zumwalt, employe of the
state highway department, was pain
fully injured.
The driver of the car who gave his
name as-W. H. Forester of Ell Paso,
Texas, kept on toward Flagstaff, be-
lieving that Zumwalt had tossed the
rake near the Ford as joke, and
not realizing the man had been hurt,
he testified in justice court here yes
terday. ~
A phone call to Flagstaff by City
Marshal c. w. Harp, resulted IN the
detention and return Of Forester TO
Winslow, where the case was set
tied amicabIy before Justice Sam
Proctor, Thursday morning.

Feed in the desert, is beginning to
become scarce, said the secretary,
and in view of the fact that lambing
time is approaching, the herders are
driving and shipping to Imperial val
ley and other California points.
A general feed shortage in the
valley has been noticed by all the
sheepmen, Miss Hodges stated not
only because of the lack of water, to
keep the wild feed in growth, but be-
cause Of the short crops in grain
which were replanted by the farmers
here last season. 1t is the general
belief, she added, that a good fall of
rain will change the plans of many
of the local sheepmen who have not
yet left, but are planning on driving
their stock through to California.

METAL FINDER BACK FROM
METEOR TRIPS SILENT

William A. Sharpe of Denver, in
ventor Of apparatus by which he
claims to be able to locate bodies of
metal underground, has returned to
Phoenix after an expedition to Meteor
mountain, near Winslow. Mr.. Sharpe
said that his "cameraphone" showed
the meteor to be resting out Of line
with the huge crater formed and to
be at a depth of 1400 feet. He was
not prepared at present, he said, to
name the kind of metals contained in
the body.
Meteor mountain has been a scien-
tific marvel for years. Numerous ex-
cavations have been made there with
out success and test drill holes have
been made to the depth of 1900 feet.
The celestial body in striking the
earth left large crater, which has
been visited by many scientists.

One of our English teachers got the
quickest and most complete results we
ever heard of the other day. She told
her class that the four chief requisites
to short story writing are brevity,
a reference to religion, some associa-
ton with the aristocracy, and an IL
lustration of modesty. "Now," she
said, with these four things in mind,
! will give you 80 minutes to write
story.
At the end of 10 minutes a boy
held up his hand. He said his story
was done. The teacher complimented
him, and asked him to read his story
to the class. He read:
My Gawd,' said the duchess, take
your hand off my knee"
Doc. E. S. Miller phoned US outabed
theothernite to read to us. this poem
he'd justrit:
Mary had a little cold,
1t started in her head,
And everywhere that Mary went,
That cold was sure to spread.
1t followed her to school one day:
There wasn't any rule;
1t made the children cough and
SneeZe,
To have that cold in school.
The teacher tried to drive it out,
He tried hard, but--kerchoo!
It didn't do a bit of good,
For teacher had it, tool.

the gooses that when their noses be-
gins to sneeze don't hiee their beaks
