Poison Gas to Fight Squirrels.
Experiments in the use of poison gas
in exterminating grain-eating ground
squirrels urn under way, according to a
report of the county horticultural com¬
mission to the Los Angeles board of
supervisors.
At the same time it was announced
that Los Angeles county lias sold it l
surplus stock of saccharine and strych¬
nine to Orange county in order that
the neighboring county can join in the
campaign being waged against the de¬
structive ground squirrels.
According to Horticultural Commis¬
sioner Ryan, the use of poison gas is
necessary at this time because the
squirrels, which have been practically
eliminated from the worst affected re¬
gions in the county by the use of poi¬
sons during the past few months, fail
to eat the poison at this time, pre¬
ferring the new vegetable growth.
Government Newspaper.
It is not generally known that in case
the recent raihvaymen’s dispute in
Great Britain had developed into a
general strike, and the public had been
unable to obtain its customary news¬
papers, arrangements had been made
for the production of a government
daily.
It was to contain no editorial views
whatever, but simply a record of what
vas happening at home and abroad.
Five million copies would have been
circulated by a squadron of 150 aero¬
planes, The government’s idea was
that the dangers of a general strike
would lie enormously enhanced if the
general public did not know what was
going on.
Community Singing.
“I see community singing is becom¬
ing a fad in many towns.”
“What is it?”
“The merry villagers’ idea boosted
a notch, I take it.”
“How?”
“Instead of dancing on the green,
we assemble in community centers
and mingle our voices in jazz madri¬
gals and syncopated glees.”—Louis¬
ville Courier-Journal.
Air Travel de Luxe.
The airship “Tt 33” has been making
a tour of the French battlefields, says
the London Sphere, and if carried a
chef and gave its passengers French
cooking, and real beds, with sheets.
“On September 15.” says the same pa¬
per, “during a flight from Amsterdam
to England, this lunch was served on
a passenger airplane: Salmon mayon¬
naise, cold chicken, fruit salad and
wine.”—From the Outlook.
■'Tis something: great to be a queen,

Summer Salads.
With head lettuce in every garden
and an abundance of the leaf lettuce,
peas, onions, and other crisp flavor
vegetables, one need never want for
salad material.
A salad howl of crisp fresh lettuce
served with French, mayonnaise,
Thousand Island dressing, or even the
common variety of boiled dressing,
makes a palatable salad.
A small bed of mustard (the small |
black-seeded variety) makes it most
excellent salad plant and a fine Gish |
of greens. The leaves may be picked'
and served alone with salad dressing
or mixed with lettuce. The pungent
taste and good flavor is most appetiz¬
ing. Added finely minced to any vege¬
table salad from potatoes to peas, it
adds to the flavor.
Salads rich with mayonnaise will
he sufficiently nourishing to serve as
a main dish at luncheon.

arrange peeled sliced cucumbers. Gar j

DOES WELL WITH ONE ARM
Englishman Apparently Little Incon¬
venienced by the Loss of His
Right “Wing."
Apropos our recent photograph on
feats performed by armless men, a con¬
tributor, who lost his right arm when
he was a youth, sends an Interesting
account of the ingenious manner in
which he carries on in spite of his
handicap.
“1 got up at seven o’clock.” ho says,
“wash, shave, scrub my finger-nails by
holding a small nail-brush between my
teeth, and dress myself without any
help. To fill a pipe and strike a
match is au easy matter, while yeers
ago I learned to write with my left
hand.
“I often play whist, and can place
my cards together as quickly as any¬
one. Rut I find my chief delight and
enjoyment in playing the piano or or¬
gan. I love both. I do not play with
my left hand only, hut pkiy the lower
notes with a stick in my mouth.
“I can open a boiled egg and eat It
as quickly as anyone with their two
hands, while in regard to wrapping up
a parcel and securing the same with
string, I challenge any grocer to do
the job more neatly.
“Feeling an apple is quite simple. I
can open a penknife in an instant.
“No one need despair who has lost
one of their arms. It is awkard at
first, hut after a few weeks it is sur¬
prising what one can do for them¬
selves. So to all who have lost an
arm I say: ‘Cheerio! It might have
been worse!”—London Tit-Bits.
WENT TO HEAVEN IN AUTO
Novelty in Burning of Effigy of Ma¬
chine at the Grave of Wealthy
Chinaman.
It is the custom of the Chinese to
burn various kinds of effigies at the
funeral ceremonies of the rich, and
the more wealthy the departed the
more elaborate the figures burned over
his grave. These effigies represent
every manner of thing, such as human
figures, horses, sedan chairs, tables
loaded with money, etc.
At the funeral of a Mr. LI, who
died a short' time ago in Tientsin,
and who was a very wealthy man,
the bereaved family outdid themselves,
and made an imitation of the deceased
gentleman’s automobile, to be burned
at lus grave. The effigy was made
entirely of strong Chinese paper
stretched on bamboo frames. The car
was complete in every detail, the ped¬
als accurately placed, and all made of
paper and bamboo.
The interior of the car was also
accurate in detail, being carefully up¬
holstered in paper. The car was car
, ried about three miles through crowded
streets to the graveside, where a
match was applied, %inutes. and it was con¬

Ancient Mesopotamia.
Survey research work in Mesopota¬
mia has revealed the fact that in for¬
mer times the country was covered
with a network of canals, showing that
a very celebrated system of irrigation
must then have been in vogue. Some
of these canals were 20 feet deep with
steep embankments. This interesting
information was stated by Lieut. Col.
G. A. Beazeley, royal engineers, in a
lecture given by him at the British
Royal Geographical society recently.
He also brought to light the fact that
the city of Samarrah, which is now a
comparatively unimportant town, at a
period before the Christian era must
have been one of the most populous
trading ceuters of the East. The an¬
cient city was 20 miles in length and
2\z in width, and it is estimated that
It contained about 4,000,000 inhabit¬
ants. There were miles of walls and
warehouses, and it formed a converg¬
ing point for caravans from a vast
area. Another city in Mesopotamia,
the lecturer said, showed traces of
having been laid out on the lines of a
modern American city.
