Wyoming First Glaciated
State, Geologist Believes
ROCK SPRINGS, Aug. 8 (£>)—In
the opinion of C. J. Hares of Denver,
a noted oil geologist. Wyoming was
the first section of the country to be
covered by the great ice sheet which
ages ago surged down from the north.
He considers that the glaciation of
Wyoming occurred in the mid-tertiary
period, whereas the ice sheets filled
the rest of the country in the Pleis
tocene age The glaciation of Wyo
ming Avas millions of years before the
present great rivers of the Rocky
mountain region began to^ flow.
“Two centuries of tertiary glacia
tion in Wyoming are known,” Mr.
Hares reported to Western scientific
bodies. ‘‘The ice must have been ap
proximately 3,000 feet thick and it
probably moved forward at the rate
of three feet a year, taking more than
200.000 years to spread over the cen
tral and southern parts of the state,
where it left its most apparent traces.
‘‘The tertiary glaciation undoubted-,
ly occupied a very long time in geolo- j
gic history. It marks a profound J
change in the climatic conditions of '
that period.”
Prussian Woman Become
Forgetful When In Diet;
BERLIN, Aug. 25 (#>)—Female
members of the Prussian Diet it would
seem are far ahead of their male col
leagues in point of forgetfulness and
losing things. A large blackboard,
representing the Diet’s lost and found
office, bears testimony to the preoc
cupation of the lady parliamenta
rians. Feminine bags of every de
scription are here reported as found.
They have ceased to be a problem,
however, for in the course of time the
personnel of the house has become
so well drilled that they are now able
to designate the owner of almost ev
ery bag at first sight.
Four pairs of women’s gloves are
not quite so easy to restore any more
than the string of pearls, a gold
brooch, numerous handkerchiefs and
a Chinese shawl. A silver drinking
cup has for several days proved a
source of much conjecture among
male and female parliamentarians.
Noted Windjammer Ends
Career As a Fishing Barge
NEWPORT, Cal., Aug. 25 (/P)—The
final chapter in the romantic career
of the three-masted schooner Muriel
is written on the sands of the beach
at the entrance of the harbor here,
where the battered bulk of the craft,
once a proud figure in the Pacific
Coast commerce of windjammer days,
lies a hopeless wreck.
Since her launching at Alameda,
Cal., more; than 30 years ago, the Mu
riel has established an enviable re
cord among sailing ships on the sev
en seas, particularly in her fast pas
sages while engaged in the copra
trade in the South Sea islands. She
was once ranked with the finest and
most stately sailing ships of the Pa
cific and the waterfronts of the coast
heard tales of romance and adventure
woven about her by scores of grizzled
seamen.
Of late she had been serving in the
moving picture navy where venerable
ships enact strange roles before the
grinding cameras, but at length the
world of make-believe also turned its
back on the Muriel.
A despondent waif of the sea, she
was recently stripped of her masts,
and towed beyond the breakwater to
serve as a fishing barge, but a final
heave of a groundswell parted the
cable and the Muriel rode proudly
j on the breakers to her doom on the
|beach.
DANZIG OFFICIAL SAYS
POLISH POSTBOXES IN
HARBOR UNNECESSARY
DANZIG. Aug. 25 (/P)—'There is no
econoomic, commercial or business
reason whatsoever why Poland should
have her own postboxes in the har
bor of Danzig, in the opinion of Pres
ident Heinrich Sahm. Explaining the
so-called postbox conflict further for
The Associated Press, Dr. Sahm,
popularly known as “the tallest presi
dent of the smallest state in northern
Europe” said:
Under the treaty of Versailles the
right is given to Poland to maintain
her own postboxes in the harbor of
Danzig. Mail arriving in Danzig and
intended for Poland can be handled
as expeditiously by us as it can be
handled by a Polish postoffice in the
port.
“What we chafe under particularly
is the implication that Danzig is on
a plane with Chinese cities like
Shanghai where the foreign residents
have their own facilities because the
native are not or have not been, ade
quate. Danzig is a proud Hanseatic
town which resents such an imputa
tion of inefficiency.”
A further complication in the post
box question arises from Poland’s
contention that by the term, “harbor
of Danzig” is meant the whole city.
The Danzigers hold—and in this they
have been sustained by the British
high commissioner assigned to Dan
zig by the League of Nations to arbi
trate disputes between Poland and
Danzig that the term was intended
only to include the port proper.

If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you*
If you are not a Home Trader You are a
Traitor to the Best Interests of the Town
This community is made, up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself.
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your patronage. He puts forth
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money. - * ^
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money — not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
of the community.
Donate to the good of the town by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars.

Meat Eating Endorsed
By Stanford Scientist
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.,
Aug. 25 (/P)—Prof. James R. Slonaker,
of the physiology department at Stan
ford University, has emerged from
eight years experimenting with the
conviction that meat eaters as com
pared with vegetarians will live long
er, have more children and be of
more hardy physique.
Prof. Slonaker confined his labora
tory research to 40 pairs of white rats
but he said that the conclusions he
reached coincided with reports of the
Jesuits of restricted diet on people in
many localities during the World
War.
He divided the rats into two equal
groups, feeding one set an ordinary
diet, including a protein, the other the
same diet minus the protein.
He found that withdrawing meat
from the rats’ diet caused males to
weigh 35 per cent less than those fed
meat, the females 28 per cent less.
The vegetable diet shortened the life
of the males 33 per cent, the female’s
40 per cent, caused 29 per cent fewer
rats to be born and brought about
loss of the power of reproduction by
the time the third generation was
reached. The proportion of males to
females was reduced among the veg
etarian rats.
W. E. O. Criger, who has been in
charge of the construction work for
the Bureau of Public^Roads on Lake
Eyak, near Cordova, has been trans
ferred to the Moose Pass region. Mr.
Criger arrived in Seattle last week
from the Copper Gateway.
