Of the lapidary's art (perhaps 1t was
merely a means Of safe keeping) was
discovered in Rome at the close Of the
sixteenth century. In making repairs
to an old house just outside the city
limits, the owners gave orders to break
up and remove two large stones that
were in the way.
"On breaking up the mass the work.
men were astonished to find, embedded
in a cavity that had been followed out
where the stones were joined, q funeral
urn of alabaster. Inside it, and
mingled with the ashes, were q number
of trinkets Of gold and ivory, and about
20 crystal balls.
Tombs Yield Crystals.
LET us hope that these had already
performed their mission, for we are not
Informed concerning the final place Of
deposit either of the treasure or Of the
remains so rudely disturbed. The
sepulchre Of Childeric, discovered in
1853 by a stone mason, Is believed to
have contained a crystal ball, and the
tombs Of several kings of France,
broken into at the time Of the French
Revolution, yielded number, some OF
which are still in existence, If we may
believe the records. The burial places
of royalty or others of high estate In
several other European countries have
so often yielded similar relics as to
leave no doubt regarding the esteem
and veneration that formerly were at
tached to the crystal sphere"
No particular magic attaches to the
National Museum crystal, but 1t is con-
sidered one Of the most curious and
beautiful objects to be seen in
Washington.

AlRPLANE OUTPUT
SHOWS DECREASE
$500 Manufactured Last Year
Compared With 3,437 During
Boom Period of 1880.

Falling below the boom" record Of
1880, American airplane manufacturers
during the past year produced total
Of $500 planes, according to a report
made public by Clarence NJ Young.
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for
Aeronautics.
The decrease from the total Of 3,437
airplanes, built in $780, is due to over
production in that year as a result of
overexpansion. Surplus stocks. how
ever, were disposed of during the past
year and the beginning Of 1882 finds
production on a more stable basis.
One Of the features of the year was
the appearance Of the autogiro on the
commercial market. Several companies
producing aircraft Of this type manu-
factured a total of 60 Of the flying
windmills" last year. Licensing Of
autogiros was begun by the Department
of Commerce during the past year.
OF the $500 planes built last year.
1907 were manufactured for domestic
commercial or civil use by a total Of
345 firms or individuals. There were
three companies which produced 100
or more airplanes each and five which
manufactured from so to 80 planes.
There were 284 companies or in
dividuals which built but one plane
each during the year.

THE ISSUE OF INTOLERANCE.

We cannot afford to temporlze with
paternalism.
The only way to keep the Federal
government from unjustified interfer-
ence with the rights Of the states and
Of individuals is to fight every move,
of whatever kind, that would extend
the power Of a centralized bureau
cracy.
It is true beyond question that
many Of the so-called reforms" Of
recent times have come about. not be-
cause Of the popular will but because
organized ninorities have seized
political power and have frightened
elected officials into actions that are
against their better judgment.
Intolerance is great issue. Those
who wish to regulate their neighbors
have had a day of triumph. Since
the turn Of the century the trend has
been away from State and individual
rights, toward Capitalization Of power
at Washington. The Federal govern
ment has taken on police functions
never intended for 1t by the founders.
There is hope that now, at last, the
trend Is the other way. We have
learned that If we try to mind other
peoples business, other people will
mind ours. And there is strong and
growing percentage of good American
citizens who are convinced that we
need less law. not more, and that it is
time for a return to fundamental
principles of human liberty.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO
THINK?
BY Edison r. White
Shawnee, Oklahoma

That many good people are some-
what dazed over this much advertised
world economic condition. Instead OF
being all humility in their confession
that they do not understand it, they
are asking, who does understand II
anywayp' They are ever asserting
that nobody understands It,
So while big business men and
members of different governments are
trying to find out what 1t is all about
and the cure for 1t, there are people
everywhere who would like to barter
something they have in exchange for
something they need that somebody
else has. There is rich variety OF
things that could be exchanged to the
satisfaction Of all, and the proper
channels to use are the classified
columns Of the newspapers.
Classified ads are busy little things.
To secure place to board, house
to rent, or a furnished room, read the
CLASSIFIED ADS.
If you want to find opportunities
for buying, selling, or exchanging, use
the want ads. You will always find
them ready reference for anything
you may want. They are the quick,
efficient, sure way of getting you in
touch with what you need.
You will find good buys and trades
in the want ads. They are constantly
performing many valuable missions
which are to the advantage of all.
Everybody should get the habit of
using the want ads. They will save
time, trouble and money.

STATE FACULTY MEMBERS
WILLING TO TAKE WAGE CUT

Washington State College, Pullman.
The move to cut salaries proposed
at the recent Tacoma meeting of
presidents of higher institutions and
chairmen of the boards of regents has
met no opposition whatever from the
State College faculty members, ac-
cording to views expressed at the last
faculty meeting.
The educators expressed themselves
as willing to take pay cuts to assist
the taxpayers of Washington during
this depression. Furthermore, the
faculty of the State College do not
want to impair the educational OPP
portunities of young men and women
Of this state who are well prepared
and able to do good college work. Ad-
ministrative and faculty salaries at
the beginning of the 1928 school
year will be reduced according to the
following schedule: $500 and up, 10
percent; $4,000 to $500. seven and q
half percent; s2loO to s25Oo, five per
cent: under $1,000, no reduction.
Employees Of the college and its
divisions have donated s7445 during
the past three months to charitable
organizations In the state, at the sug-
gestion of Governor Roland H. Hart
ley, who called upon all state en-
ployees to donate dey's pay for three
months to help relieve distress. The
fourth months donation will be APP
|proximately $500 at the college, max
ing total Of nearly $4,000 for the
four months. This money has been
sent to various districts where the
unemployment problem is especially
acute.

Profitable Egg Production Depends On
PLENTY of Water al Right Temperature

how can we induce the laying hen to
drink her maximum amount OF waterq
Plenty OF trough room, four feet oil
trough per hundred hens, is import
ant,
Fresh clean water, always available
is also necessary.
And what about the temperature Of
the water? Trials at both the Oregon
and Idaho Experiment Stations prove
that hens reduce their consumption Of
water 20 percent to IS percent when
the temperature drops close to freez-
ing.
Laying hens drink their maximum
amount of water when It is always be-
fore them, clean and fresh, with suf-
ficient trough room, and at q temper
aturc close to 80 degrees.
A cold spell Of weather is nearly al
ways attended by slump in egg pro-
duction. This slump can be overcome
by keeping the water up to normal
temperature OF SO degrees to S. de-
grees F. No need to keep 1t warmer
This means, according to the expert
ence Of poultrymen, an average OF
twelve to twenty more eggs per hen
during the winter, the time when eggs
are high In price. Twelve extra eggs
per hen in a flock Of 1000 hens means
an increased income Of $500 to $40C
during the winter.

Water, next to air. is the cheapest
thing we have which can DO turned
into money" declares Mr.. W. D.
Buchanan, Extension Poultryma n
State College of Washington.
The problem Is, how can the poul-
tryman turn water Into money!
In the first place, eggs are about
eS cent water Mr. Buchanan says
that sShe water in eggs sells ut the
rate of SLIGO per gallon, when eggs are
selling for soc per dozen, as there ia
a pint Of water In dozen eggs.
To get maximum egg production
from flock Of layers, It Is necessary
that each hen has plenty Of fresh
water, at the proper temperature
available at oil times.
To stimulate water consumption by
the layers is to stimulate egg produc-
tion--not only more eggs, but larger
eggs, that are worth more money.
Beside the water that goes into the
production Of large eggs, the hen, In
heavy production, needs more water
for other purposes than when not lay
Ing up to capacity.
zone hundred hens laying heavily,
Mr.. Buchanan says further, "expell
three to four gallons Of water day
Non-layers expell only half that
amount Of water.
water plays an important part in
digestion It serves to soften the feed
and make 1t more digestible. It serves
as a carrier, transporting feed from
the digestive tract to all parts Of the
body.
Still more important is Its function
in keeping the birds healthy by carry.
Ing off waste products. It serves to
equallze temperature of the body by
evaporation. It even serves as a lubri-
cant for the muscles and joints Of the
body.
A scarcity of water can cause 9
mott, because the birds cannot assimi-
late enough food to make eggs, and Of
course sudden deficiency Of proper
food results in mott.
Any scarcity of water for any cause
retards production to a degree. 1t also
causes decrease in the size Of eggs
These are well proven facts.
Now the next problem naturally is
