Mountain Run,blings Heard

Washington Biologists and Japanese
Scientists Find House Range Had
Been Actire for Years.

Survey, to whom he reported the phe-
nomena, were not particularly i'm
pressed after learning their informant
was the only permanent resident of
an arid region the size of a small
European Kingdom, and had lived by
himself more than a quarter of a
century 35 miles from the nearest
post Office.
Visits by a Washington geologist
and a Japanese scientist, however,
proved the desert cattle raiser was
not imagining things and that the
House Range of mountains. forming
the western boundary of the Sewer
Desert, had for years been making
audible sounds-sort of a grumbling
expression of the growing pains they
had been experiencing.
Made Entries in Diary.
Watson, who first settled in the
area in 1887, has kept a diary, and
over long periods made daily en-
tries of the unmountain-like actions
of Swazey and Notch Peaks. Some
times the noises were accompanied by
temblors so perceptible as to frighten
his horses and cause them to snort
and shake with fear, especially in the
night. The activity would usually be-
gin with the advent of cold weather
n late Fall and sometimes continue
several months.
After As years of this periodic be-
havior, however, the mountains sud-
denly stopped "acting up" and they
had been quiet nearly three years in
advance of the recent quake which
shook Northern Utah and Southern
Idaho
At this time, Watson reported, he
felt the shock very plainly, and what
appeared to be a column of heavy
black smoke. 700 or 800 feet high,
rose from the floor of a barren val
ley some 80 miles distant. 1t lasted
an hour or two. Watson as yet has
been unable to investigate to ascer-
tain if break in the earth's crust
had given birth to a small volcano
but, his diary shows, something of
the kind happened in the vicinity
many years ago.
Not Considered Volcanic.
The House Range is not considered
of volcanic origin, but there are a
number of places where steam or hot
vapor issue from the surface. Both
Swazey and Notch Peaks, which are
only about 1000 feet high, are of
fossil formation-mountainous masses
Of fossils on a granite foundation.
The desert from which they arise is
only about 400 feet above sea level
and at one time was believed to have
been a shallow bay of the Pacific
Ocean. They have been gradually
rising since that time, biologists be-
lieve.
The area receives usually less than
6 inches rainfall a year, springs are
40 to SO miles apart, but by i'm
pounding water in pot holes" in the
quartZte rock, Watson has been able
to make a success of cattle raising
in this almost unexplored wilderness.
Studying geology and keeping a daily
record of geological happenings help
him to pass the time.

blades.
The matter of balance was consid-
cred at even this early stage of con-
struction, Story's staff weighing each
OF the blanks until the four blades
were within ounces of each other.
The gluing was done in a room in
which a constant temperature of 1876
degrees Fahrenheit was maintained,
this because the glue, special type,
jells so rapidly it would harden before
application in a lesser temperature.
The glue Is capable of withstanding a
testing strength of more than 5000
pounds per square inch.
After gluing. the blades were stored
away for two weeks. Experts checked
them each day for warpage or distor-
ton. Then they were shaped to their
final form.
The finished propeller weighs nearly
half ton, including the hub. Driven
In the tunnel by an electric motor de-
veloping 1000 horsepower. the i'm

piece of paper and places it lightly
upon the tip Of one of the horizontal

the perfect balance. The propeller
turns until the paper drops of at the
bottom Of revolution.
Story explains the propeller must
be perfectly balanced, because even
the slightest vibration at high speed
would shatter it. At 1000 revolutions
per minute, he says, each Of the four
blades would be pulling away from the
hub with force equal to pressure

THREE PARTY DRIVE
STIRS MINNESOTA
Farmer-Laborites Open Campaign With
Advocacy of State Entering Business.
Big Fight Over Senatorship Seen.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ut. PAUL, Mimi, April 7.-Min-
nesotas three-ring political
circus, truly the only one of its
- kind in the Nation, is embark
ing on its biennial tour.
Setting the pace in the perform
ance is the newest, but most powerful
unit-the Farmer-Labor party
which, to continue the metaphor. drew
the center spotlight late this week.
The Farmer-Laborites held their
State convention, adopted platform
demanding State entrance into busi-
ness on a big scale and indorsed a
slate of candidates in anticipation Of
seizing all major State offices.
Republicans, hopeful mainly in re-
tanning control Of State department
salvaged from the wreckage wrought
by the Farmer-Labor drive to the gov
ernorship two terms back, will hold
their State convention shortly. Demo-
Gratis are undecided because Of the
party split two years ago. Two con-
ventions for this group may be the
outcome.
Shipstead Faces Struggle.
The big fight will be over the
United States senatorship with Sem
ator Henrik Shipstead. only Farmer
Laborite in the upper house, facing a
stiff struggle. There is opposition
within his own party and Representa-
tive Finar Hoidale. Democrat. is
vastly popular
1t was Hoidale, not yet formally
entered in the senatorial race, who
four years ago almost squeezed out
Senator Thomas D. Schall. Hoidale
ran good race for the National
House two years ago in the free-for-
all precipitated by reapportionment
and failure of State redistricting
act to stand in the courts.
Had not Representative Francis
Henry Shoemaker been able to stir
so much enthusiasm for his attack on
Senator Shipstead before the State
convention, Representative Hoidale
probably would have disdained to try
for the senatorship, say political OBJ
servers. And he may decide yet to
run for reelection. but, in view Of
strong opposition in his district. the
general belief is that he will decide
that the gamble will be no greater in
the senatorial race.
Republican Dilemma.
While Senator Shipstead undoubted-
ly lost strength through ShoemakerS
attack, veteran political writers pre-
dict that he will gain heavily because
of the Republicans dilemma The
only person now bidding for Repub-
lican senatorial backing apparently Is
Tom Davis, Minneapolis attorney.
whose political career has been spotted
with strangely mixed allegiances.
Should Davis get the Republican
nomination. it is freely predicted that
strong G. o. p support will be swung
to Senator Shipstead. who, among
other things, has the backing Of news

"FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE"
USED FOR TREE BLIGHT

ITHACA, N. Y. (P).-The old adage
fight fire with fire is receiving prac-
tical application at Cornell University
in checking the tree disease called
fire blight.
This disease. while producing the
effects of a fire which burns holes
In bark and then goes out. does not
come from a burn in spite of the
name. Fire blight is canker caused
by bacteria.
The new Cornell cure Is the acety-
lene torch. It's like cauterizing a
human wound. The remedy was de-
veloped by DR.. E. M. Hildebrand in
the department of plant pathology.

papers which ordinarily favor only the
Republicans.
There will be much ado from now
until November over the congressional
campaign. Farmer-Laborites, mainly
because the 1882 election was on an
at-large basis, now control five of the
States nine seats in the national
House. The Republicans hold three.
The other Representative is Hoidale,
the Democrat.
State Offices which will be fought
for by Farmer -Laborites and Repub-
licans, since the Democratic split
threatens to again make them i'm
potent, are attorney general. treasurer.
auditor. secretary Of State. clerk of
Supreme Court and railroad and
warehouse commissioner. The re-
election of Gov. Floyd B. Olson,
Farmer Labor chief Of staff, seems to
be conceded and the Republicans are
expected to yield at least one or two
of the State Offices they hold.
The Republicans, judging by their
campaign statements. will try to
make taxes a main issue, with the
Farmer-Laborites courting Democratic
support in the contest for State
Offices with pledges Of allegiance to
the national administration. 1t was
an unofficial Democratic Farmer
Labor coalition two years ago that
helped Roosevelt carry Minnesota and
aided the third party in increasing
its strength in the State House
Gov. OlSon's statement before his
party's State convention that his
group had only to contend with
corpse in dealing with the Republic
ans at the coming State elections,
brought quick retort from the de
ceased" Ward Sem. Minneapolis. a
Republican leader, said: THE Gov
ernor will discover before next Fall
that the Republican party is the
livelest corpse he ever played around
with"
Extravagance Charged.
He emphasized Olson is tax spend.
ing and extravaganza" and referred
to an increasing tax rate which ac-
tually has grown in the face of ad-
ditional State revenue collected and
due in the form Of State income taxes,
chain store taxes and beer and hard
liquor taxes.
Some Democrats already are plead
ing for party solidarity. In filing for
attorney general late this week, Alric
Anderson. st. Paul attorney. said:
The Democratic party of Minnesota
is like family Of honorable and
upright heritage fighting among
themselves over matters of minor i'm
port. In so doing, they have injured
one another and imperil the very ex-
istence of the party and this conduct
tends to its ultimate elimination
He charged the fight within the
party now centered around the sole
effort to have either the regulars or
the jumpers win in the primary in
order to name the party's next ma
tional committeeman and without re-
gard to the contests for State Offices.

Manners and
Morals
BY JANE JORDAN


Don't give up until you've tried every.
thing! Perhaps Jane Jordan has the
right answer to your problem. Write
and see!
Dear Jane Jordan-I am %
years old. My husband is 40. I
have three children. My husband
drinks most of the time. Last
week he went on a drunken spell
from Friday till Sunday When
he came home I was pretty blue
and it made him sore. He said he
was going back to the beer joint.
He started out and started, too.
He said for me to stay home, but
I just somehow made up my mind
If he was going, was, too. He
slapped me about ten times. I
left with the children and stayed
all night with a friend. When I
came home I found he had left.
He had a spell in March. There
was a woman in it then. When
he comes home he says all women
are rotten. He is terribly jealous
at times. I see no reason for it
because I have always been
straight, before marriage and
since. Two years ago he was gone
for seven days. Like a fool I took
him back. I have tried my best
for thirteen years. He says he
loves me. What kind of love is
this? Or is it love? Can you sug-
gest something? 1 have run out
of ideas. UNHAPPY.
Answer-Your problem is far be-
yond my ability to solve. I only car
tell you that talking to your hus-
band will not cure him. The chronic

hands, the seeking mouth-of all
the incompatible sensations a
mother knows when she looks
upon the living atom she has Gre
ated out of her body.
1t is the aliveness of a baby
that remains an ever-moving mir
acle to the mother heart.
And I felt like cursing prodigal
nature for having been so partial
to one woman, and stupid man
for denying to so many others the
happiness they could gain from
one-fifth of Mrs. Ernest Dionne's
experience.
We deliberately thwart nature
in her other excuses. We cut
down superf1uous trees, Gull out
poor fruits and flowers, pull up
weeds and otherwise exercise au-
thority over her ruthlessness. 1t
seems rather sad that we can or
will do so little about better baby
distribution.
Many women eat their hearts
out with longing for children, yet
because of economic ill-adjust-
ments and social convention we
say to them, Thou shalt not"
Other women, tired and ill, rebel
at the thought of having more. To
them we say, Thou shalt"
Old Mother Nature is a cruel
harridan; society a laundering
fool. Between the two of them
humanity suffers.
