modern conveniences. He also pre-
sented her with horse. that she might
keep in touch with the homes of her
pupils and for her recreation.
In establishing his Rapidan camp Mr.
Hoover recognized the great bulk of the
population of the United States lives
now and will continue to live in the
Eastern third of the country's conti-
mental area, 1000 miles and more from
our Western national parks. If he could
focus public attention on this condi-
ton and thereby get the minds of the
people directed upon the desirability of
establishing a great national park in
the heart of the dense population area,
he thought he would be rendering a
distinct service thereby. Building his
own camp in that area would serve
greatly and without parade to keep the
Eastern national park area idea before
the people.
Seeing that Virginia was rapidly
moving forward to the presentation to
the Federal Government of its great
Blue Ridge area, the President was only
too glad to allot part of Virginia S
share to the building of a great park
way along the crest of the Blue Ridge
in the Shenandoah National Park.
The glorious parkway of a thousand
vistas, rare in its beauties, superb in its
engineering and a truly national recre-
ational asset was the result.
The restoration of Virginia's shrines
that are national in their aspect and
interest has always found in Mr.. Hoover
an earnest supporter. He was deeply
interested in the building of the great
boulevard to Mount Vernon and in the
rebuilding of Wakefield, the birthplace
of George Washington Likewise he
joined a hearty hand to that of Louis
Cramton in the establishment of the
Yorktown-Jamestown Colonial Monu-
ment and of the splendid parkway that
unites them. The marking of the great
Civil War battlefelds of Virginia like
wise also has commanded his fullest
support.

WOMAN is CONVICTED
IN RAIL TICKET SALES
Charged With Reselling Return
Part of Excursion Coupons
Bought From Passengers.

Charged with the illegal sale of rail-
road tickets. Ethel Clawans of Newark,
N. j., was found guilty of operating an
unlicensed brokerage business by Judge
Ralph Given in Police Court yesterday.
Sentence was set for next Saturday.
1t was the second time the woman
had been convicted on the same charge,
the Court of Appeals having ordered
new trial February "a, 1882, on the
ground that prejudiced evidence was
admitted when she was tried last year.
Miss Clawans was accused of SELL
ing the return portion of excursion
tickets between New York and Wash
ington after purchasing them for small
amounts on the trains from passengers
who did not intend to return to New
York. Employees of the Pennsylvania
Railroad testified they purchased tickets
from her. Miss Clawans is said to have
realized sizeable profits from the sales,
while the railroads complained that
they lost hundreds of dollars.
A libel suit asking 500, 900, fled by
Miss Clawarls against Lieut. Nina Van
Wrinkle, former head of the Woman's
Bureau, was dismissed last January by
the Supreme Court. Miss Clawans
charged the policewoman made false
and libelous statements on a commit

UTAH'S FAMED SALT LAKE
SAID TO FACE EXTINCTION
Worlds Second Largest Dead Sea Losing Water Sup
pIy Through Agriculture and Industry

now being used for agricultural
and industrial purposes.
The lake, now covering 1850
square miles, is dropping yearly.
The salt content remains around
% per cent, which is from four
to six times as salty as the seas.
II is fed from three small rivers,
the Weber and Bear rivers on the
north and east ends, and the JOY
dan on the south. 1t has no out
let into any ocean.
For the last seven years. It's
depth has decreased five feet.
Some claim, however, that the de
crease is periodically in seven
year limits, and that the water
gradually will rise during the
next seven years.
The only commercial value OF
Great Salt Lake is the phroduc.
ton Of salt and other minerals.
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1933-04-13

From the salt residue is taken:
Calcium, 1877 per cent; chlorine,
$500 per cent; bromine, .1SS
per cent; sodium sulphate, 1862;
carbonate, POT; potassium. 1.lO6,
and magnesium, 1926 per cent.
Attempts were made at the
last state legislature to provide
laws allowing diking the lake in
to two sections. The dikes would
run from the northeast mainland
shore to the northeast shore of
buffalo Island, one Of nine in
Great Salt Lake, and from the
northwest shore of the mainland
to the extreme north shore line
Of the island. a fresh body of
water would be formed, since 1t
would drain into the larger body,
and be fed from the Weber and
Bear rivers. Evaporation is the
cause Of the heavy salt content.
