Coed So Different From Other Girls

2 t lllYT

LINCOLN, NEH. There is a cowl at the University of Nebraska this year from Midnaporo, sixty miles west of Calcutta, India, and her name is Khnnto Hala Kai. Miss Hal is n-istored as a junior, following two years of study at IJethumo collepe In Calcutta, and Is enrolled in Christian and missionary arts. Miss Kai is of the In;;uli race. Her father is a Ilrahmin and was converted to Christianity shortly hefore Mi hs IIa I was horn. Ih? appears on the campus and in the rlass room In Imt native costume, which consists of a separate waist and a ,"sari," whh-h is made up of live yards of material tt draped as to form the fkirt of her costum and caught at the shoulder.

"I love my native costume and I do not think I shall he persuaded to adopt the styles of the American girls," Miss Hal has frequently told Inquirers. She sjieaks English fluently. When questioned as to her opinion of American stylos and American girls, Miss Hai replies: "American girls' clothes are appealing, if not carried to extremes, hut I believe they are Inclined a little toward mannlshness and they are decidedly taking advantage of the freedom which lias been accorded them." Apparently her observation of the matrimonial angles and ceremonies of the American has not changed her native viewpoints "I am well content with our own matrimonial system," Miss Hal says. "We have 'great faith in the wisdom of our elders and my sisters, as well as myself, are quite willing to abide by the choice of our parents." Miss Hai has an ambition to return to Midnapore and teach in the girls' hlKh school there, which is to be erected from donations made at jubilee meetings. It was at one of these meetings she met Hev. and Mrs. W. T. Klmore of Lincoln, who induced her to accept a home with these people during her schooling.

To Add Six Miles to Manhattan Island

Ni:V YOHK. New Yorkers who often pretend to he indifferent to the city's wonders have; h:id their imagination stirred hy the daring plan. Just announced, to extend Manhattan Island six miles down the hay hy building mammoth sea walls from both sides of the P.attery and tilling in the intervening space with earth. A company has been Incorporated to carry out the project, and T. Kennard Thompson, a prominent engineer of the city, has prepared the detailed plans. The Hroadway association, composed of merchants along the famous thoroughfare, has Indorsed the Idea. If tlie plan is ever carried out. its proponents say that six square miles would he tacked oih the most valuable piece of land on earth; that twelve miles of needed docks would be added to the port's facilities; that transit would be greatly improved and tbat the tax on all real estate might be reduced 1 per cent. The plan has already been outlined to the war department, Mr. Thompson Fays, and no objections have been raised, since the proposed built-up extension would still leave on either side of the island the same clearance for navigation that now exists on the

Hudson and Kast river sides. The work could be completed In the years, In Mr. Thompson's belief. "It Is a well-known fact," he said, "that the business center of Manhattan is rapidly moving away from the city hall, and If it Is not prevented the lower end of the island will again become a residential district, with the result of tremendous decrease in values." The only way to remedy this, he added, was to make the city hall the geographical center by extending Hroadway some six miles down the bay. Judge Alton 15. Parker says the project is legally feasible. He estimates the eost at $0)0,XH),0M). He insists that it Is a project for private capital and not for the state or the city.

Work of Surveying Party Is Revised by Inspectors and Finally Passed Upon by a Committee May Be Had for Asking. (I'repared by the United State Department of Agriculture.) Are you thinking of buying a farm? Maybe you are purchasing one for the first time, or perhaps you are selling your high-priced acres in the corn belt and reinvesting In cheaper lands in another state. In either case there is a very helpful companion you can take with you on the Inspection trip a soil survey report of the region you are going into, prepared by the bureau of soils. United States Department of Agriculture, in co-operation Tvith state agencies. An Unbiased Counselor. It is a counselor whose advice is absolutely unbiased. Its judgment is not only in black and white, but in connection with the report is a ccl'ored soil map. This consists of a

base, showing the salient natural features of the area surveyed, and the towns, houses, roads, railways and other artificial features. The various areas of the different types of soil are outlined and colored. Ordinarily the survey covers a single county. A surveying party, consisting usually of two men, visit every part of the chosen area, tracing and locating the soil boundaries, taking samples of the soil and of the subsoil to a depth of three feet in the West and to six feet In the Far West. They Identify the various types of soil, so far as may be done from field examination. The work Is revised by inspectors, who visit the area from tlin to time, andis finally passed upon by a committee, who make certain that each soil Is properly named.

There are in the United States 3,04:5 counties. Detailed surveys have been completed thus far in 920 counties In this count have been included a few areas, each covering only a part of a county or parts of several counties. In addition to the area surveyed in detail, about an equal extent of country has been covered by reconnoissance maps, the two together repre-

It Is Best to Clean and Oil Frequently.

Department cf Agriculture Recom. r

(Prepared by the United States Department of, Agriculture.) Neglect of harness results in injury that greatly lessens its durability. The sewing, which should have been done with strong waxed linen tLread. must be kept in goxl condition. All buckles should remain solidly in place. It is advisable to wash and oil harness frequently. For washing, the bureau of chemistry. United States Iepartment of Agriculture, recommends the ue of tepid water, a neutral soap, such as castllo or white toilet soap, and a sponge or fairly stiff brush. Hardened grease is very conveniently removed by scraping with a dull knife. Itinse In clean, tepid water, and allow the harness to hang in a warm place until it is no longer wet, but still damp. Then oil it and leave it in a warm place for 24 hours before being used. Harness should be oiled or greased while still damp; otherwise it may take up so much grease that it will pull out of shape or take up sand and grit, which

New Marvels Found in Mammoth Cave

Kämm

CLi:'i:i;.NI. O. Carl T. Robertson, naturalist, in the course of an exploration of Mammoth Cave, Ky.. has made one of the most important discoveries In the history of this great natural wonder. His party entered into a new cavern. His story, in part, is as follows: "Then we came to a region of helictltes which Is, I dare say, the most marvelous ever seen by human eye. llelietites four or five inches long are considered notable. Her wjt one four feet long, and it had a horizontal branch nineteen Inches long. There were other hellctltes three feet long, with branches extending horizontally and at every conceivable angle. "At another point there wus a hellctlte cascade from roof to roof.

There were also helictite stalagmites, a formation which I had not before noted. These hellctltes are among the rarest and most inexplicable of cave phenomena. "Ueyond this region we came to a region of roek llowers, the most enormous crystalline flowers ever found. There are roses, chrysanthemums, daisies, lilies. They are of a whiteness that Is whiter than snow. "Immediately beyond this garden of snowy whiteness Is a less extensive but scarcely less amazing display of jet black crystalline formation of calcium sulphate, colored by mangtw.ese dioxide. 'instead of forming llowers. the e black crystals are mostly of the socalled 'fibrous' kind, forming needles two or three inches long, and sometimes so tine that the pendant masses seem as soft as the fur of an animal. "Next Is the region of gigantic snowballs, easily a foot In diameter. There is nothing like It. It Is unique." After a mile and n half the avenue suddenly narrowed to a mere pass. It became difficult. Instead of a level sanded floor the explorers found themselves climbing and scrambling over rocks.

Good Care of Harness Gives Longer Use and Better Service, will injure it, as well as spoil its appearance. Harness should never look or feel greasy. Xeat's-foot or castor oil or a mixture of these with wool jjrease Is good for driving harness. For heavy harness use a mixture of tallow and cod oil, or neat's-foot oil and tallow, or a mixture of any or. all of these with wool grease to make a paste of about the consistency of butter. Apply the oil or grease lightly to driving harnbss and liberally to work harness. Kub the oil or grease, warm to the hand, thoroughly into the leather while it is still damp from the washing. After the harness has hung in a warm room overnight remove, with a clean, dry cloth, the excess of oil which the leather Is unable to take up.

PLANS FOR FARM BUILDINGS

CHICACO. These he parlous times for judges in this neck of woods. Judge Charles M. Thomson of the Appellate court is on crutches. Judge ;. Kred Hush of the Circuit court has a broken arm. Judge David K. Matchett of the Appellate court has a kneecap out of ounmission. Judge Thomson sustained his injuries in Lake Michigan. His wife and son had gone for a swim while the lake was rough. High waves were rolling the boy near some dangerous piles, when Mrs. Thomson swam to his rescue. Judge Thomson, who was sitting on the bench, feared for the Kifety of both, and rushed in after them. His right foot caught in a hole In th bottom of the lake and an unttnielv hlch wave wrenched Iiis body.

Sampling for Moisture Determination. renting one-third the area of contiLental United States, and very much more than one-third of the arable lands of the nation. Hefore buying a farm it would be well to inquire of the department whether or not it had made a survey of the locality. If so, and the report has been published. It may be had for the asking. It may be that In deciding to buy a farm a definite type of agriculture has been determined upon. Some questions will arise. Where can land best suited for that type be found? Upon what soils can rice growing be safely and profitably undertaken, or the production of tobacco of the various kinds be followed, or the raising of hogs with alfalfa pasture as a feature In their management be engaged in? Perhaps you would establish a commercial peach orchard in Georgia, embark upon the growing of long-staple cotton in South Carolina, or specialize In the production of asparagus, peppers, tomatoes for canning, or lima beans In New Jersey. The results of the soil survey will help you to select suitable land. The records of the department show a steadily Increasing number of persons using its soil publications in this way.

CLEAN QUARTERS FOR SHEEP

During the long evenings of winter make plans for new farm buildings. Complete plans should be worked out for the building before any expensive foundations are put in, or else the result will be inconvenience and extra expense. In building a barn, first figure out the number of horses and cows that will be kept, with any additional calf pens, bull pens and harness rooms. Then determine the amount of spae needed for each and draw them out on paper. It will now be possible to provide alleys and driveways in the most convenient places. Great numbers of barns are built with too much room for cattle runways and other nonessential features that could he more cheaply provided in separate sheds. Plans In many cases would have saved 10 or 20 feet of gable roof, and at the same time provided a much more convenient

TAMPER FOR FILLING SILOS

Automatic Device Installed at Oregon College Does Work in Suecessful Manner. An automatic tamper used in filling silos has proved successful at the Oregon Agricultural college. The tamper is the first one used in the state. It is said to increase the capacity of ilos packed in the ordinary way T0 per cent. Not only does It pack uniformly, but It increases the keeping qualities through closer packing. It works as a small steam roller which runs around on top of the ensilage as It is fed into the silo. The operator handles the tamper and the feeder at the same time, therefore cot of operation Is not increased. The capacity of the silos at Oregon Agricultural college was Increased .T3 1-3 per cent over the previous record of close packing.
