Persia Has Salt Lake Larger Than Dead Sea Five thousiiml feet above sen level In Persia Is to be found a huge, salty inland hike. It In known ni Urmia and Is 250 miles around, covering an area of .1,000 square miles, and bousta of some 5(1 Islands. It Is among the highest bodies of salt water on the globe. Ninety miles long by some thirty wide, it completely dwarfs the Dead sea, something like a mile and a quarter lower in level, and contains a greater percentage of salts in solution. Urmia is fed by a number of small streams and Is the catch basin for n :considerable area, but as it has no outlet whatever except evaporation the salt that comes In stays In. Constant leaching by the streams brings lit a continuous supply of salt, nnd given enough, this results in a salt lake, for while the evaporation takes care of the water it must leave the salt behind. And this Is what has happened to Urmia. For years and years it has been becoming saltier and saltier, probably exceeded In this respect only by Karabugcs, the salt water annex of lhe Caspian sea. No fish live In it. Many English Words Are Arabic in Origin The Arabs have given the Englishspeaking people more words to express tlieir thoughts titan any other of the Semitic, Asiatic or African groups. “When in summer you wepr your ‘mohair’ or ‘cotton’ suit, avoid ‘alcohol,’ enjoy “sherbet’ with ‘candy’ and ‘coffee’ with ‘sugar,’ or lie on a ‘sofa’ or ‘mattress’ reading a ‘magazine.’you nre drawing on that vocabulary," Prof. Philip K. Ilitti of Princeton told the Linguistic Society of America. "In a complete English lexicon. Arabic would figure in no less than 198 entries under the letter A alone.” Many of these words have come into English indirectly through the romance languages, he said, but Arabic also has served as a medium for transmitting a number of words of Greek, Latin. Persian, Sanskrit, Egyptian, Turkish. Coptic or Hindustani origin, such as apricot, azure, borax, camphor and ebony. St. Augustine’s Chair The wonderful old chair of St. Augustine. in which the new archbishop of Canterbury sits on the occasion of his enthronement, has had a loivg history. Tradition asserts that it was formerly the throne on which the old kings of Kent were crowned, but it Is generally agreed that it dates, at any rate, from the commencement of ’.lie Thirteenth century. It is composed of three pieces of Purbeck marble in the design of a Roman state chair and stands in the chapel of the Corona In Canterbury cathedral. Each archbishop of Canterbury Is enthroned in this chair, thus signifying I his assumption of the primacy of England. No Law Against Thinking Even very small girls have their quarrels nnd following one of them this little girl came home to her mother much exercised over their little difficulty. “Mother, Mary Lou is a cat,” the one little girl said, probably echoing a term she had heard older people use. . "Oh you mustn’t sa.lT such things,” her mother reprimanded, “you mustn't say things like that about your little playmates. Lots of times we may think things that we shouldn’t say.” “Well, then, I think Mary Lou Is a cat,” was the reply. Old Elephant* A traveler says that an elephant when old goes on a high cliff and commits suicide, but it is doubtful If any considerable number of them hurl themselves from cliffs in this manner. It appears to he true however, that the herds of wild elephants have their own natural cemeteries in the swamps or jungles, to which the old and weak crawl to die. Some of these places nhe known to the natives of Africa and are valuable ..oitrces of Ivory. Other wild animals are said to adopt this practice of going to particular spots to die. Dad’s Dilemma “How's tlie family?" Inquired Jenks of Bing, his happily married friend from the other side of town. “Well, my children nre at a diffl colt age just now." "Difficult? Why. they've all passed the measles and teething age, haven t they?” “Long ago. Rut you don’t know a father's troubles. M.v children ere nt the age where If I use slang my wife says I’m setting a bad example. And if 1 speak correctly, the kids think I’m a hack numhet. Which would you do?"—Kansas City Star. Signs Long in Use The history of signs goes back to ancient Egypt and reaches America by way of Greece, Rome, Italy, France. Germany and England. Inns were among the first industries to avail themselves of signs, Rome lending off with a bush swinging he fore the tavern door From it came the adage “Good wine needs no hush The cross was used for Christian way farers and the sun and moon foi pagan travelers.

Beware of COLDS NOW! whether you’ve had the FLU... or not rThis is the time of year when serious cold troubles, ! such as deep chest colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia are [ always at their worst. | Just now, with so many people in the weakened condi- I tion that follows a flu attack, it is more important than ever to heed every cold as a danger signal and check it | prohrptly before complications can set in. | Quick Direct Treatment ► At the first sign of a cold, melt some Vicks in a bowl I of hot water and inhale its healing vapors. Also place some up each nostril and snuff well back. This quickly . I opens the air passages. I At bedtime, rub Vicks vigorously over throat and chest I and cover with a warm flannel. Most cvids yield over- | night to Vicks two-fold action: . I Act* X Way* at Once (1) Its medicated vapors, released by the warmth of I the body, are inhaled direct to the inflamed air passages, I loosening the phlegm and easing the difficult breathing. I I (2) At the same time, Vicks acts through the skin like ! a poultice, “drawing out” tightness and soreness, and • thus helping the vapors to break up the congestion. | Mothers especially appreciate this simple j external treatment because it cannot up- ; set children’s delicate stomachs, as top much “dosing” is so apt to do.
