Will Engulf Ua. • tMympi*, Wash.--A dry land Noah la continuing preparations* for his pereonal escape In an ark when the Pacific coast feels the wrath of the Lord and sinks Into the Pacific ocean. There is no question in the mind of William Lound Greenwood, sixty, but that folks along the Pacific slope are going to get a surprise some fine day after the year 1932. Mount Hope, in British Columbia, will sink Into the Fraaer river, ae> cording to the grlszled "Captain Billy" Greenwood, who never skippered a boat in his life. The coast line will disappear. Victoria, "Seattle, and all cities as far south as San Francisco will be swallowed up by huge waves. There will be a second Inundation, and then California will get what's coming. In the north the ocean will be halted by the Cascade mountains, but In the south the land will sink as far back as the Rockies. Panic and death will be everywhere, but "Captain Billy" will calmly knock off work In the sawmill where he Is employed, board the "Ark Second" and sail to safety In a craft that sallormen say couldnt float In a calm lake. t Greenwood told all about It, In the astonishing cabin of his astonishing craft. Eight years ago he started the ark. It will be completed by 1932, when he expects first forerunners of destruction of the Pacific coast to start. Unlike Noah, "Captain Billy" will take no animals along, aside from his two dogs. His craft Is the despair of seagoing gobs, but Captain Greenwood Isn't worried. Noah was no seafaring himself, Greenwood (Pointed out. ' SPRING GROVE t 3fty oar classified ada--they rare Iring results. «; DR. C.

The work was undertaken after the recent decline In silver prices to a new low level had provoked Inquiry as to the extent to which the white metal Is a by-product of the other ores, tending to maintain Its production In spite of low prices. The bureau held that since only one-third the world's silver production is from ores that derive more than 70 per cent of their value from silver, price is of less weight In Inducing production than In the case of other metals associated with It. Many mine* depending upon ores worth less than $10 a ton, of which silver at 50 cents an ounce makes up more than half the value, probably earn little if any profit at present prices, the bureau said, and production curtailment is likely. Mexico, producing more than 90 per cent of the world's silver derived from such ore, will be thev most seriously affected by a further decline. St Peter's church at Spring Grove will have a public card party at the church hall Sunday evening, Feb. 5. Everyone invited.

KIlCHEfl CABINET London.--Great Britain may retain forever the Wright brothers* airplane. Two years ago the airplane, considered the most valuable aviation treasure In the world and one for which It Is reported Henry Ford would gladly pay $2,000,000 to own, was placed on display at the Science museum here. The museum has a five-year option on it Museum officials said that the boxshaped craft may never leave England. They are extremely anxious to retain It and are making every possible effort to gain absolute possession of the craft. Wilbur and Orville Wright's airplane hangs suspended from the archway Into the aviation exhibit of the museum. The airplane Is the prise entry and occupies the most conspicuous position. Hanging above the reach of eager fingers, It appears like an overgrown box kite. Wings seem frail and the body anything but strong. Underneath the machine a printed description relates that the airplane was used on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, N. C., as the first power-driven man-carrying airplane to make a free, controlled and sustained flight The famous picture of the plane taking off on the down-hill, wooden runway also appears. The Shovel with a small can of paint or grease with a stick or brush stuck in it, is dug into the S&nd. Lillenthal's 1895 glider, Weiss' model glider, a model of Wright's biplane used in the autumn of 1908 at Le Mans, France; Bleriot's 1909-'10 type monoplane and Frost's Experimental Ornlthopter made in 1902 are but a few of the aviation treasures found in the exhiUtion. Mod ?ls of every type of airplanes used during the war are arranged in numerous cases. The Vickers-Vlmy Rolls-Royce plane, used by Capt. Sir John Alcock and Lieut. Sir Arthur WJiitten Brown to make the first transatlantic flight on June 14 and 15, 1919, is fastened to two huge concrete blocks. One of the most Interesting exhibits Is Frost's Ornlthopter. It resembles a huge eagle without a head. The wings consist of 17 flexible feathers, which are as near to nature as the inventor could make them. Each wing spreads eight feet from the hihge point, and the total area is approximately 54 square feet. (©. 1(30, Western Newspaper Union.)

KITCHEN SHORT CUT8 There are so many culinary operations needlessly repeated day after day in numberless homes, making gravies, mixing pastry for pies, cheese sticks and tarts, all at different times, when one process would make all the three. One of the dally tasks in most homes at the dinner hour is the making of gravlep. The French word roux covers the base or thickening of gravies. There is white roux aiyl brown which is simply white ftour browned. A hurriedly made sauce or gravy Is apt to be served undercooked. By preparing the roux beforehand and keeping a surplus on hand, time is saved. For the white roux melt one-half cupful of shortening In a heavy frying pan, add three-fourths of a cupful of flour and cook slowly, stirriag constantly until It is thoroughly blended and well cooked. Remove from the fire and store In a cool place until needed. For thickening soups, white sauce, creamed chicken or vegetables, use one to two tablespoonfuls of the roux to each cupful of liquid, according to the thlcfness desired. To make brown roux, use the same proportions of fat and flour, but stir and cook until thick, smooth and brown, using care not to scorch. This, too, may be stored and used as thickening for meat gravies, mushroom sauce, stews and highly seasoned dishes. A french dressing much liked and one which will keep two weeks In the Ice chest is prepared as follows: Chop one small southern onion, two tablespoonfuls each of red and green pep* per, one tablespoonful each of celery and parsley, a teaspoonful of sugar and salt and cayenne to taste, with the vinegar and oil In proportion of one to three or four. Add two tablespoonfuls of the piquant french dressing to the mayonnaise when serving. Hard-cooked eggs may be added, but should not be pot into the drawing until ready to use. ifL HUtsrU Blarney Castle Blarney castle was built sbout 1448 by Oormac McCarthy. It has walla which in places are as thick as 18 feet The fame of the castle is bound up In the dvi) history of the conn* try and the. war of the Great Rebellion. The famous Blarney stone la near the top of the wall. Promises end flattering speeches delayed the surrender of the castle In medieval times and from this fact It is supposed that the tradition concerning the Blarney stone arose. Big Game Increases in National Forests Shown Washington.--An increase in most types of big game in the national forests is shown in the latest game census conducted by the forest service Of the Department of Agriculture. In the last five years increases have been shown in antelope, black or brown bears, deer, elk, mountain goats, and mountain sheep. In the same time decreases have been shown In grizzlies and moose, and an 86 per cent drop in caribou. The large decrease in caribou is laid to the disappearance of one herd in a forest near the Canadian border, and it is assumed the herd has shifted Its range to Canada. The lower number of moose is accounted for by more reliable estimates, as the forest service believes the early estimates were too high. Greater ^protection fbr the grlssly bear Is demanded by the forest service if the other states do not want to be In the class with California, where the grizzly bear is extinct The present estimates show that most ot the 3,500 existing grizzlies are in Alaska. Deer are the most numerous of the big game animals, with more than 800,000 listed. California leads with 250,000 and Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico and Oregon have more than 50,000 eacfe^ w v. Roman Pottery Kilitf ^ < Found on Isle of Wight Newton, Isle of Wight--Accidental discovery of a Roman pottery kiln near here has aroused- widespread interest and speculation as to whether the Romans made this island the headquarters for the extensive manufacture and distribution of pottery during their occupation. Excavations are under way to substantiate this theory. Some "crude Imitations of Samlan wars and. some pieces of clay from Osborn were found In the kiln, Indicating the Romans obtained at the pit the clay they used for the yellowed pottery found often In the island.

Wood, National Director of the Ixaak Walton League of America, in an editorial appearing in the current issue of Outdoor America. 'Investigation into their past readily discloses that very few had any opportunity of close contact with nature. They have not wandered along unspoiled streams, or in tangled wildwood. Nature has not been permitted to speak to them its varied language. The spirit of adventure which calls so strongly to them has not been answered by the breathless expectancy of approaching game, nor the thrill of a tight line. "In one of his delightful stories of the Sou^h, Harry Stillwell Edwards tells of an old negro whe for years, watched a board in his cabin roof. The birds dropped mulberries into a knot hole, to better extract their juices. A flicker used it as a sounding board. The juice of the berries stained it a dark, rich red color. The vibrations of the flicker tapping crystallized the fibre of the wood, and the wind, rain and snow completed" the process which, when the negro fashioned it into a banjo, made an instrument famous throughout the state for its beauty of color and richness of tone. "It is essential in the development of character that these same infuences of sun, wind and rain, and the atmosphere of the out of doors have a place. Until we, as a nation, come to realize that we owe it to the coming generation to provide them an opportunity of absorbing the beauty of unspoiled nature, which alone can give to them that serenity of soul, that sturdiness of body, and that moral courage which is so essential to the solving of problems presented by the complex problems of civilization, we will continue to be pouring into our correctional institutions the bodies of our youth, who could have otherwise been saved to useful citizen! ship*" j- & Kennebeck (O.
