Grand Canyon Will Disappear

Scientist Says That Erosion Is Tearing Down Its Great Walls. Los Angeles.—People who have •never viewed the wonders of the Grand •Canyon of the Colorado are urged to •do so without delay. For Dr. William Morris Davis emeritus professor of geology of Harvard university, in a lecture at the University of California at Los Angeles, declares that the •Grand Canyon is disappearing so rapidly that it will be only a few more million years until the deep chasm will have entirriv vanished, together with 'the high plateau for a hundred or so •miles on either side of it. The Boulder dam will not be to blame for this vast effacement of one •of the true wonders of the world. Dr, Davis did not qjen mention the Boulder dam in his lecture. Geologists say, however, that the Boulder dam might delay for a year or two the destruction of this wonderful specimen of .nature’s handiwork. But this cannot be foretold with any degree of ae--curacy for another several thousand .years. Fifth of Great Canyons. Moreover, Dr. Davis stated that the present Grand Canyon is the fifth •wonder of rhe kind constructed hy the •forces of nature in that general neighborho‘l. The other .four have all been destroyed by the same forces of nature, and the fifth, now at about the zenith of its glory, is doomed to go the way of its four predecessors. The method of destruction of this -canyon as well as that of its predecessors. is quite easy to determine, he stated, hut seme features of the formation remain ti mystery. In his explanation he said in part: “The Grand Canyon of the Colorado is one of the true great wonders of the world. Few people who go there have -any idea of what they will see. A visitor imniet’iaflely wonders upon his first view of the canyon, what enormous world disturbance could have happened to open this great 'crack. But study will reveal that it was nor a crack. It is opened into a V shape but the walls and formations on either side quickly dispute that it Jias berm formed by the stone being cracked apart. “The Colorado river has builded the •Grand Canyon. It is purely the work •of the river, cutting away continually

MICHIGAN SETS ASIDE TWO FORESTS FOR FIRE TESTS

Explosives, Gas and Other Flame* Fighting Methods Will Be Tried Out. Lansing, Mich.—ln two gigantic laboratories, one of them containing 2,7<>o acres and the other 1,400 acres, the state of Michigan and the federal government will iearn how to combat the red menace of forest fires. Eire-fighting apparatus and methods will be tried out under conditions as nearly ns possible duplicating realty; weather conditions will be recoitied, explosives and gas will be given trials and new methods of “back firing” under varying conditions will be tested. When the work is completed—probably tn two or three years—long strides will .have been made towards curbing timber losses due to fire, H. J. Andrews, head of Michigan’s fire fighting forces, i$ confident. •V'hrn we have completed our

through thousands of millions of years, that has caused it. The V shape we now see is .argely the work of erosion. The action et the elements on thdse sturdy walls is gradually fiatten/ng them out. The river cannot cut’ much deeper for it will approach sea level, but the work of erosion will go on until those plateaus now rearing in many places to a height of S.tK)O feet, will disappea' for a 100 miles on either side of the river. Plateaus Are Mystery. “It Is an enormous task thus far accomplished over a period of many millions of years. But really, it is only a beginning. “I refer to this vast period of time required to build and destroy the canyon as a 'cycle of erosion.’ There is evidence to support the theory that five such cycles have passed during the life of the world. Judging by the past, we can allow our imagination much latitude in guessing the future duration of ;he world." The throwing up of the high plateau is the mystery unsolved by geologists, stated Doctor Davis. After the plateau is once thrown up. the river cuts the canyon, then, joined by the forces of erosion, it eats away the entire pla•teau. Five such plateaus have been builded he stated, and four of them have disappeared. The fifth is now becoming the prey of the elements.

work,” the warden said, “we wyi have burned over about one-third of the area which was set aside for the purpose by the conservation commission. Our work this fall will be the division of the land and timber into lots. We shall probably work in units of two, burning one block of timber and saving the other adjacent to it for comparison. We will also "burn similar pieces of timber at different tiiWes of the year to compare damage and regrowth.” Assistance of the federal government was assured the project through the interest of Crosby A. Hoar, district forest inspector at Duluth, who promised that if the state of Michigan would set aside the land his department would furnish technical help and equipment. The cost of the work, it is estimated, will be less than $5,000 to be divided between the state ahd federal service,

Old Inscription Is Found on a Boulder Anabel, Mo. —Amateur scientists and historians are speculating over the meaning of some figures o<p a boulder on Joe Long’s farm south of here. Long had known the boulder was there all the time, but the protracted heavy rains in the spring washed off the face of it. and some of the figures and letters were easily made out by W. L. Magruder, vocational agricultural instructor, who came over to examine the stone. Magruder made out the Roman numerals, MDCXLIV—--1644. Below that, in Arabic, are the figures, 1732. Magruder pointer! out that if those were dates they covered the period of active French exploration in this country. If they are to date the birth of soyie man the Roman numerals are fairly contemporaneous with the birth of LaSalle. 1643, Hennepin, 1640, and Marquette, 1637. The activities of these explorers in America were in the latter ptfrt of the Seventeenth century.

4,000 Wild Horses Make Food for Foxes Washington.—According to a report from Trade Commissioner J. Bartlett Richards of Winnipeg. foxes in Canada are getting even with horses, which have been used for centuries to chase them. Richards says wild horses are being slaughtered and the meat fed to The first consignment of 400 horses arrived at Winnipeg, Mr. Richards reported recently, and the animals are being killed at the rale of «fifty a day. More that 4.000 horses have been contracted for for fox fur farms. The prices run from S2O to $25. These horses come from the hill country about Alberta. A f<>x skin, when made into a neckpiece, may bring SI,OOO or even more.

Forest fires in Michigan, while they have not been completely stamped out, have been cut down appreciably in recent jears, Andrews reports, and his report for 1929 may show the smallest loss on record. Careless cigarette smokers still arc blamed for more forest fires in the state than any other cause. Last year they were responsible for 324 fires, the others being blamed as follows: land clearing, 160; campers. 22; railroads, 178; incendiary. 37; unknown cause, 72.

THE JOURNAL

3 NETTIE § $ NEEDED A | MASTER DOCKXXXXXXX)OOOOC<XXX:)OOOOOO <© by D. J Walsh. > NETTIE had changed a good deal since her marriage. Ed sometimes wondered whether or not he would have urged her to marry him, while he still Qad his way to make, if he had that she would not continue to be the good pal she had been at first. There was uo great fault in her mode of life, she kept his home beautifully and was not extravagant, but—and the but was a grave one to a sensitive man tike Ed Smithers—she had grown unreasonable. Now that Ed •made a good living they could have enjoyed many pleasures and comforts had Nettie done ’ her part t but she didn’t. She very frequently mourned -and fussed because they quiet a life and implied that the blwme lay with Ed Ed did like to sifi) down with his paper after dinner, for he had .scant leisure during the day. but he was not unsociable by any means. If he suggested, any pleasant night after dinner. that they drop tn on some of their neighbors Nettie invariably retorted that she was too tired out with her nousework or that site was not suitably dressed. If he said he would like to have any of his folks dine with them she always mourned over the extra work involved. After a while Ed grew? tired of the situation and spoke to her plainly. “You don’t want to go out and you don’t want to stay home," he said crossly; “you know you have *to do one or the other. There’s a good show on at the movie tonight. Put on your coat and we’ll go; probably you stay in the house too much.” Nettie, unable to think of a suitable retort had /taken refuge, as she did frequently, in a fit of weeping, and Ed. unable to endure the unpleasant sniffling sounds and not feeling in the mood to comfort her. slammed out of the house and remained away until bedtime. He was still angry when he entered the bedroom, but the sight of her tear-stained face on the pillow softened him. Her heavy blonde hair lay in braids about her face and as he stared down a half-sob escaped from her little pink mouth. “She sure needs something," thought the puzzled man; “she's going to lose her looks and become old before her time if she goes about with that despondent expression. Os course, I have my business to interest me—perhaps some kind of surprise would cheer her up and get her out of the rut.” Far into the night he planned, and next morning his thin, plain face was alight with anticipatory interest. Even Nettie roused herself to wonder at the mysterious gayety that lurked about his mouth, but he refused to tell his thoughts. “All you have to do is to dress up and look pretty," he teased, "and you never know what may happen.” The morning of their wedding anniversary Nettop got u;> feeling out of sorts. She wanted something and she didn’t know what it was. “Everything seems so drab and monotonous.” she complained. “1 wish something startling would happen, something wonderful, the way it does in books. Ed, eating his breakfast with one eye on his watch, grinned affably “Isn’t it wonderful to think that we've been married for nine years am) that we’re both well and happy—’’ He caught tier somber eye and paused “At least you ought to be happy.” he added, put out of temper by her tin responsive face; “you have everything you want and a husband to work for you.” Netties blonde head lifted mutin ously. “1 seem to feel a lack—l don’t—” But her husband, enraged by her silly, vapid manner, seized his hat and departed in silence. But by night he had forgotten the episode of the morning. His midnight scheme to please Nettie was now ready. How pleased and delighted she would be at his thoughtfulness. All the way home he prided himself on his ready mind and he was smiling when he opened the front door. Nettie had washed her hair and simply braided it without bothering to curl it. She felt tired and planned to go to bed and read Ed saw there was something wrong with her appearance, but could not decide where the trouble lay. "Why don’t you put on a pietty frock?” he suggested. “Some one might drop in.’’ “As we never go anywhere no one is apt to drop in.” she Said dully, ami vanished into her bedroom. “I’ll bet a cookie she is dolling up in her best.” he thought fatuously and shuffled gayly toward the front door in reply to the Loud peal of rhe bell. “Come right in folks.” he beamed. “I’ll call the missus. Site’ll sure be one delighted baby—” the wools died in his Jiroat aS he caught a vengeful

Humble Violet Symbol of Napoleonic Faith

“Corpora) Violette” —a curious title surely for a world conqueror, yet ope by which Napoleon was known to his adherents, especially during the years of his exile. The associations of violets with the great emperor and his dynasty is no post-humous connection —probably arising from a misconcep tion—like that of primroses with Lord Beaconsfield’s memory. Curiously unresponsive, as a rule, to natural beauty, there Is plenty ot evidence to show that Napoleon did show a marked preference for the little purple blossoms. One meinorist notes how he paused beside a bed of violets at Malmaison. bent to inhale the scent, and cried: “No wonder the Greeks loved them!” At St. Helena his schoolgirl friend, Betsy Balcombe. saw a small glass vase of violets on his table and there I were old people living until quite late- ‘ ly in the Frejus neighborhood who re- | member being told as children how I their mothers went out to welcome the I emperor, when he landed on his return from Elba, carrying great bunches of

eye through rhe partly opened tied room door —“go right in and make yourself at home.” he added, his high spirits quem-hed. “Who on earth—” began Nettie, as tie hurried into the bedroom. “it's a surprise.” tie said, staring at tier loose tiair and nearly completed preparations for the night. “What possessed you to undress at this time? it isn’t eight o’clock yet and there are ten people out there waiting to celebrate our wedding day—” <• “How did they know it?” Nettie’s pink lips were tight. “Because 1 invited them. 1 planned in my ignorance of your unpleasant disposition to give you a happy time. All the refreshments —” “1 won’t fix a thing. You invited them, now entertain them. The idea! My hair not curled and my eyes red from crying I” blazed Nettie, and her husband caught the swift fianw of anger. “Just as you like.” he said coldly. “Go to bed. do. I’m tired of your ways.” Nettie, sulking behind the closed door, was amazed to find that her absence was not tnarring the mirth of the party. She ha'd uo idea how Ed had explained her seclusion, but bursts of laughter, songs and even dancing announced that apparently uo one missed her. Suddenly she decided that she would not be barred out frcm her own party and she began to dress rapidly. dusting powder about tier red eyes and Hutting out her fine yellow hair. Selecting a dainty pale frock, she hooked it up and put her hand on the doorknob. There was a sudden astounding sound and Nettie's blue eyes widened. The door was locked from the outside. She shook it and even hammered on It with no result. She heard the caterer come and a short time later the guests went into her pretty dining room, where she could hear remarks about rhe delicious ices and salads. Ed had evidently gone to a great expense to celebrate this wedding anniversary. There had been nothing left for Nettie to do but entertain her guests. Ed had provided the refreshments and the service and the company, hut his wife had chosen to sulk in her room churlishly. During the endless hours that followed Nettie communed with her own soul and the communing was bitter. She saw herself with an unflattering clarity of vision; saw how patient Ed had been with her silly whims and winnings; saw how he had planned this >vening to amuse her. Then her thoughts, reverted to the locked door. He must have been in one of his white rages to have done so drastic a thing Nettie suddenly broke into a wild storm of tears. He would never forgive her now. She had thrown away her happiness. But through her grief ran a queer thread of elation—Ed was not the easy-going man she had thought him. He was strong—he would brook nothing, once he was thoroughly aroused. [ Ed inserted the key noisily in the door when the last guest had gone. “Ed. w>H you ever forgive me?” sobbed a small voice. "1 don’t know what has possessed me lately, but I •seemed to want something that I —” She broke off. awed by the sternness of the plain, thin face. . “Have you found out what you want?” he demanded, “because—” “Yes.” quavered Nettie. “I guess I wanted—a—” “Well, wiiat?” prodded Ed. amazed at the magical change in her. She eyed him doubtfully. “A—master.” she wept. Something sang within Ed’s spare frame, his heart felt warm and relieved. but all he answered was: '•Well, I guess you've found one; don’t let me oversleep in the morning.” ' I'll set the alarm clock,” responded the docile Nettie. Her Uppishness Wasted . . Reminds me of Seth Tumley. back in New England. Mrs. H. Uppe snubbed Seth every day for 30 years, and the joke was on her because Setb was in no wise unhappily affected by it—was not aware of it. in fact. He pulled one of the Uppe grandchildren out of the river one day and Mrs. Uppe went to him and humbly apologized for her snobbish treatment of him. “Always thought you treated me first rate.” declared Seth. '“Calc'lated you was just bein’ natural, and I don’t expect nothin' of nobody beyond that.”— D. H. Tiilniadge in the Portland Oregonian.

violets and scattering them before him. On that March day of 1814 he truly “came back with the violets." and it remained a saying among his adherents for long, long after, even when he was a prisoner in St. Helena and last illness. “He will return with the violets,” they said, and wrote to each other, ami they wore a violet or its purple color In coat or scarf or ribbon, to prove to each other by this sign that they were faithful Bonapartists. They spoke of their lost leader as “Corporal Violette” under a very thin disguise. No royalist would have been seen displaying either real or artificial violets. —From T. P.s and Cassell’s Weekly.

hue \ * I ;> ; By it ROSA ; MIMI \ AAAAAAAAAAiAAAAAAAAAAAA » Proving Her Point IF 1 get the drift on this woman-busi-ness all the way down from the Garden of Eden to the city park, woman has been trying to prove her point. She wishes to convince the world that she is indeed the female of the spe- ; cies. Man has had the same idea, but ft has worked in different ways. He tuts assumed that he con Id prove his point by fighting battles and building cities. But woman has had to go at the point of life in her own way. Man wants ’to discover the North pole. Woman will be satisfied if she can find a husband. For It is the husband who proves the point in woman s life. This idea in woman’s brain has emphasized the importance of matrimony. Woman herself has been on the idea of being “The Wife” that she has consented to be one among a large number, as in rhe days of Solomon or Brigham Young. , To be the wife of a Grade A hus- . band is the laudable ambition of any woman, but just to be wife, along with a lot of other deluded dames, is another matter. But woman doesn.'t marry for the sake of getting a man. She marries for the sake of getting married. The crown worn by Queen Elizabeth or the tiara of the star actress is all right in its way. but the average woman prefers a wedding ring, even when it has to be bought on the installment plan She wants to prove her point, i-nd the ring is the token of that victory. „ But we are getting more sensible in these days of the self-supporting woman. and are putting a kick in the title. “Miss.” In the old days, the "Miss” was the thing that the woman wished to get rid of as soon as possible. Woman can now prove her other than matrimonial ways? The altar used to be our goal, but now the Big Dipper is the limit, for <e can go as far as we like. If we can't get a man to the rent and fill the place with tobacco smoke, we can do these things ourselves. If we can’t find a man to lead around, it’s always possible to get -a dog on a string. Woman proved one point in her life when she set up housekeeping, but she is proving another now that she has gone into business. It’s a pity that, with all our modern inventions, »e can’t manufacture some new aim for woman’s life, but this is the thing she’s doing for herself. Cupid’s Calendar I SUPPOSE that love can spring up at any old time whether you.watch is running on old time or new. But cupid has arranged rhe calendar so»that weddings occur in either spring or fall. Who wants to get married in February or August? You have to read many love stories or love magazines to know that love comes along with youth. We get over the muthps, then we fall in love. After we have had the ( measles, we get the measley feeling of love, sickness. When love is young, all the world seems giddy. It seems to be the middled aged man who is love shy, and he’s the fellow that cupid can't jab with his arrow. If rhe boy is twenty or the man is seventy. love is easy. But when the man is forty and has begun to wear bi focals, you can’t do much lovehunting on his grounds. Now cupid s calendar isn’t confined to the dates of men’s lives. It operates with the circumstances of their lives. As far as I can find out from the phases of the love-moon, it is either the time of great good fortune or worse ill luck that makes mans heart open to the dizzy influences of love. The miner who has hit* the rich vein or the fellow who has struck oil or the plunger who has copped something from the ticker tape is the guy who will fall for love. That is, he has the money, and wants sotqe one to spend it on. But there’s another side to the story. 11l luck as well as good fortune can turn the head and twist the heart. It’s misfortune that makes people believe that two can live as cheaply as one. and the poor are as famous as the rich for both weddings and grand funerals. My idea is that it isn’t merely the cireumsiances in 'he ease that make the heart get sc daffy. The man doesn’t look for a bride because now he’s rich or poor, as the case may be. No. it’s because sudden wealth or poverty has away of stirring the heart. Lt’s just emotional excitement of one kind or another that lets cupid do his song and dance on the human chest. - The war was cupid’s big time. Lt got everybody stirred up so that there was love and marriage everywhere. It was a poor time for weddings, but when the heart w set on fire by the big fight, it turned men and women Into a bunch of Romeos and Juliets. Whatever stirs the L uman heart will produce love. It may be spring-time or harvest, wealth or poverty, war or some other ill. It makes little cupid put red letter days in his old calendar. (© by tbe Bell Syndicate.

OLD DOCTOR’S IDEA f IS BIG HELP TO ELDERLY PEOPLE § o o Tn 1885, Dr. Caidwell made a discovery for which elderly people the ■world over praise him today I Years of practice convinced him that many people were endangering their health by a' careless choice of laxatives. So he began a search for a harmless prescription which would be thoroughly effective, yet would neither gripe nor form any habit. At last he found it. Over and over he wrote it, when 1 he found people bilious, headachy, out of sorts, weak or feverish; with coated tongue, bad breath, no .appetite or energy. It relieved the most obstinate cases, and yet was ' gentle with women, children and elderly people. ” Today, this same famous, effective prescription, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is the world’s most popular laxative.
