Seeing America Last ByHelm Esmyt

the sky were grey. too. I had a feeling of
unreality.
This was no actual body of water No
landscape that melted into an imprisoned sea.
It was probably dream. wasn't there at all.
Suddenly a radio loud speaker blared dance
music out over the water. High up on Black
Rock, for which this beach on the lake is
named. slender girl in a bathing suit was
dancing. NO dream at all this, but a lively
modern world.
Back on the beach the dry sand was crusty
and painful to the feet. We laughed at each
others bewildered expressions.
Wherever the water touched the skin it left
a thick coating Of salt crystals The dry and
hot sun Of the high plateau had quickly
evaporated the water and left the salt cling
ing to the face. arms and legs
We were individual salt cellars slight
shaking and the salt scattered. Down the
lake shore a mile or so, salt was being
naturally refined by the same evaporation
method. Great quantities Of water pumped up
from the lake was spread out thinly over
large surface The water evaporated. The
remaining salt was scooped up, refined and
exported for table uses.
Once Fresh Water
AS we drove home Old Resident explained
the geological story Of the Great Salt Lake.
The bottom Of the lake is lower than the
surrounding land. Since it is impossible for
water to run uphill, the lake has no outlet
and has gradually but surely dried up.
Centuries ago it was great freshwater lake.
Scientists agree that the shells and pebbles
found high up on surrounding ridges are
marks Of its original boundaries. The shells
and pebbles prove the water was not always
salt.

Shock Cure
ToBe Tried
On Insane

Official utilization Of the insulin
or "shock" treatment for victims
of dementia praecox shortly will
be inaugurated by the United
States Government.
Such was the promise extended
today by physicians at st. Eliza

ton for the insane, who said the
new formula will be tried on IL
of the sanitarium's 3,OOcfdementia
praecox patients in alb out two
weeks.
The treatment has been effec-
tive abroad and at Bellevue Hos
pital in New York, it was reported
by DR.. Alexander Simon, st.
Elizabeth's staff physician, who
will supervise the innovation here.
If all the dementia praecox pa
tents could be given the treat
ment, he said, the country might
need one-fourth fewer hospital
beds, since half of them are de-
voted to insane persons, of whom
one-half have dementia praecox.

Trainor said:
"a person anticipating a large

his physician for advice. The
doctor refers him to the bureau
which analyses his budget, deter
mines what he can pay, and over
what period he shall pay. The
doctor then agrees to limit his
bill accordingly. Hospital bills
are reduced to a minimum and

SENATORS PLAN
STUDY OF CABS

Having listened for a full day
to taxicab drivers, taxicab owners,
insurance executives and repre-
sentatives of citizens associations,
the Tydings subcommittee Of the
Senate plans to meet tomorrow
in executive session to decided
what action should be taken on a
bill to compel cabs to carry liza
bility insurance and a bill to
limit the number of cabs.
The District insurance depart
ment will be questioned on a pro-
poSal to require a statement Of
financial responsibility from cab
owners in lieu Of insurance. Cabs
would be limited to those who de-
pend upon them for their entire
livelihood.
If affirmative action is taken
on the measures, a provision will
be written into the law to permit
increase in fares to meet the added
expense of providing bond or in
Surance.

House Bill Attacks

A bill to lessen automobile traf-

day under the sponsorship of Rep
resentative Albert E. Carter RO
of California.
The measure would make it I'M
lawful to create or cause I'M
rea :onably loud, disturbing and
unnecessary noise in connection
with the use and operation of mo-
tor vehicles in the District of Co
lumbia."
Representative Carter quoted
Mayor LaGuardia, of New York,
as saying that the anti-noise cam
paign in that city had cut down
the number of accidents. The
penalty attached to violation of
provisions of the bill is a fine not
to exceed $50 or so days in Jail

ruling of the United States Court
of Appeals that children Of non

in the District must be carried to
the public schools here.
The situation, already acute,
was further aggravated by admis'

not comply with fire department
