RECLAMATION OF ARID LAND With the possibility of adding to the producing territory of the country, surveys and investigations are now under way looking to the reclaiming of 5.088,000 acres of arid lands in eleven Western states. There are twen-ty-six projects in the plan being worked out by the reclamation service of the Interior Department.

The largest is the Columbia River basin in Washington, Which would develop 1,753,000 acres. The second is the Colorado River storage, known as “Boulder Canyon,“ that is expected to furnish water covering 710,000 acres. Next comes the Lower Rio Grande, ’ irrigating 600,000 acres of Texas desert, and the fourth on the list is the Mountain Home project in Idaho, that will reclaim about 400,000 acres. Other projects are in Arizona, California. Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming; - . Included in the information regarding future projects given out by the Interior Department were figures compiled upon the entire future irriable area in the Upper Colorado River basin. The total acreage of lands reclaimable in this basin amounts to 2.597,000 acres, divided among six separate Western states as follows: Arizona, 47,000 acres; Colorado, 1,018,000 acres; Nevada, 50,000 acres; New Mexico, 483,000 acres; Utah, 456,000 acres; and Wyoming, 543,000 acres. This work, if undertaken, would be carried on through a series of many years. . o — TIMES HAVE CHANGED Back in 1816 when gas lights were introduced in this country, a proposal to light the streets of a New England town with gas aroused a storm of protest. Following are some of the arguments printed in a New England paper, which represented* the best and most serious thought of that time: 1. A theological objection. Artificial illumination in an attempt to ■ interfere with the divine plan of the world which had preordained that it should be dark during the night time. 2. A medical objection. Emanations of illuminating gas are injurious. Lighted streets will incline people to remain late out of doors, thus leading to increase of ailments by colds., • 3. A moral objection. The fear of darkness will vanish and drunkeness and depravity increase. 4. Police objection. Horses will be frightened and thieves emboldened.' 5. Objections from the people. If streets are illuminated every night, such constant illumination will rob festive occasions of their charm. o — Advertise in the Journal.

“ARABIAN NIGHTS” OUTDONE The achievement of Lieuts. Oakley G. Kelly and John A. Macready of the Army Air Service in crossing the American continent in less than 27 hours commences a new chapter in the wonderful triumphs of this twentieth century« The Arabian Nights, a book of a thousand and one units of a vivid imagination, includes a story of a magic carpet on which its owner could sit and wish- himself in any place, where his fancy might direct and he was forthwith transported to that place. Little did the author of that story dream that it would become so near a reality as exists in modern times, when a colorless liquid can be placed in the tank of a machine weighing one or more tons, which will cause the machine and its occupants to travel faster than the birds can fly. But this achievement seems to be only the beginning of things. Plans are already completed for a “daylight-to-dark” flight across the continent —to leave New York at daybreak and arrive in San Francisco by nightfall about 14 hours. For this flight a fast fighting plane will be used and stops for fuel will be made at certain points. This flight is scheduled to take place next month, and if success-ful-well there’s no limit to man’s imagination.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Powdered charcoal is an excellent tooth powder. For a change, sweeten the fruit dessert with honey. House paints may usually be removed from window glass by the application of a little vinegar. If you have used a bad furniture polish that has made the surface gummy, wash with vinegar and water. It will remove the last trace of grease. When the cabbage you want to use for slaw is slightly wilty, cut the head in halves and turn cut 'ide down in a dish of cold water. Do not shred before placing in water. It will regain its crispness in a short time.

Any disagreeable strong taste that is apparent in cooked turnips is most likely due to failure to get all the peeling off. Cut deeply and there will be no bitter taste, although pungency comes from bed growing conditions and cannot be removed. Cabbage is much better when cooked in the smallest quantity of water possible than when cooked in a generous amount and then drained. When it is necessary to drain cabbage the water should be saved and used as the base of a cream soup or added to a beef or vegetable soup. Butter and beef flavors combine with cabbage better than fresh pork, but the flavor of cured pork, whether bacon or ham. is excellent. Cabbage served raw as often as possible adds a valuable vitamine and is often advised as valuable in the diet not only of the family in spring but all the year.

Saving Cold Biscuits. Place cold biscuits in the stove and brown until hard. Then crush or run through a food chopper, place in a dry. clean fruit jar and use when needed in soups and gravies. They give a much better flavor than many other thickening substances. I nutation Ground Glass. If you want to shut off the view from any window’ you can do it very cheaply by dissolving in a little hot water as much epsom salts as the water will absorb. Paint over the window with this while hot, and when dry you will have a very good imitation of ground glass.

Rubber Heels for Step-ladder, Make shoes for the legs of the step-ladder from pieces of old auto tires, rubbers or overshoes. They will not only keep the ladder from marring a polishing floor, but they may save a bad * fall. Tack the rubber securely to the legs well above the floor. Ironing Laces. Iron embroideries or handmade laces upon a bed of turkish toweling well covered with muslin. Turn it wrong-side up. It will'stand out and look like new. Round-thread cotton fabrics that are made in imitation of linen are improved in appearance by being ironed on the wrong side upon a thick pad of this sort.

Casserole Hints No special recipes are necessary for casserole cooking since most any good may be ccoked this wav instead of being boiled, steamed or baked. Use only a' small amount of water in any casserole, dish and be sure it is well seasoned. Plan to use double time in cooking in a casserole that you would by other methods and have a slow oven. The liquid should simmer, not boil. Tough meats are made more tender. Vegetables are more digestible because they are cooked at so low a temperature. To get the best results in casserole cooking it should be covered. The best way to do this is put a strip of dough or mashed potato around edge and place cover into place. There are, however, a certain class of chaps whose boots seem never to wear out. They are bootleggers.
