SAIL on one of the cargo TO from Constantinople that its way, according to the available freight from port to port along the shores of the sea of Marmora, is to obtain a charming mixture tf contrasting ages. Perhaps you will touch flint at the Princes Islands, which can be visit-ed by motor boat Of these, Halkl especially breathes of an untouched simplicity and charm which Is the more appreciated when one's marine glasses reveal across the way the cloudy ; city where lire Constanti-nople's teeming thousands. . Instead of the monster summer hotels which the proximity of an American metropolis would bring to such a spot, one finds nothing of Con-stantinople among these heights except hliMcppIng monasteries, where emperors, blinded or In chains, passed tbelr exile. Sheep bells tinkle among the olive orchards. Down the road, with bis laden donkey, comes the seller of charcoal or drinking water. In the llnv square sit silent fishermen. And that Is all, except the imiiiustery bell clanging tta angelus under the flow of a sea sunset Con-stantinople might be oceans away. The exile ground of emperors and dogs that spells the melancholy his-tory of these lovely Islands. Constan-tinople's age-ol- d dog pest developed under the Koran's benign Injunction of kindness to dumb creatures a stumbling block . which the young Turks of 1908 sought to circumvent by offering the entire canine popula-tion to a Christian glove manufactur-er. Upon his declining this dog conces-sion they shipped the round-u- of calls by Us very ' name that Creek colonists were here, christening land-marks In honor of sacred spots (at borne, many centuries before the Turks began tiielr big westward push across Asia Minor. Along the flunks of overshadowing Olympus, Brusa scatters Itself tike some great pitch of white wild flow-ers, almost fairylike In Its aerial grace, with mosque domes resembling rich blossoms and minarets the slender stalks, as they rise against the somber cypress ' groveii. So many mosques are tlieri that one Is tempted to ilmuglne that, llowerllke, they seated themselves at rendora whenever spring jwlnds blew. ."A walk for each day in the year, a mosiue each walk," runs the proverb of Brusa. ''' ' Bilk Induitry of Brusa. , Today the sultan and sultana of Brusa are a pair of white, brown-spotte- d worms. Indeed, they produce a royal fabric, whereby, to Near East-ern peoples, the name Brusa connotes silk Just ns Kimberly connotes dia-monds. Moreover, a Brusa n treats them os royalty to the extent of turn-ing his house over to them in, the feeding season ; for whenever bis at-tic floor becomes covered with mul-berry leaves, each wltb Its hungry worm, he carpets the rooms down-stairs with more leaves and sleeps out In the garden.' '' During the war, when the silk fac-tories were destroyed, the workers dis-persed, and the very mulberry trees cut down for fuel, Brusa's ancient In-dustry was, to all appearances, dead; but In 1010 returning refugees found, to their amazement that Its germ had survived. A mere handful of old wom-en, who bad remained In the town, had saved a few mulberry trees and had guarded, season after season, thd cycle of cocoon, moth, hatched out pariahs to barren Oxia, one of the Princes group, where the outcasts in-continently devoured one another. From the Islands It Is only a "step across the Marmora to Its Asiatic coast, and a forty mile run up the charming gulf of Ismld. A dirty hill-side town, passingly enchanting under the springtide glow of fruit blossoms, turns out to be all thnt remains of Mcomedla, the one proud city of Dio-cletian (modern Iamid). But Home's bridges have outlasted her empire, and a few years ago the Inhabitants of Greek vllluges which bad been burned by Kemalist Irregu-lars came thronging across the stone archways built of old for the passage of Roman legions Into Asia Minor. Relics of German Ambition. Descending the gulf, one passes nt Derindje a relic of the latest bid for empire In the shape of a vast ware-house containing a million and a half square feet of Boor space, constructed by German engineers for the storage of grain arriving over the Bagdad railway. Still farther along, at Hereke, is a ! palnce which was built almost over-night by Sultan Abdul Hamld for the purpose of entertaining bis friend William when, In 1910, the German emperor passed en route for bis tour In Syria and Palestine Here, In this charming, villa, sultan aud emperor dined and chattered for three hours, while the special train waited ; then they parted, and this ' creation for one Arabian night un tenanted before or since, passed Into the realm of yesterdays. A few honrs' run along the Asiatic coast brings one's ship within sight of Hie somnolent little port of Mudanla, where the victory-flushe- Kemallsts decided not to swoop across the allied-hel-straits to Constantinople. Olives are taken aboard and you find that you will have time, if you choose, to visit nearby Brusa. Snaking upward through the hills Jie narrow-gaug- rails, and a wheezy toot from a toy train warns that it positively will not delay Its departure beyond half an hour r so on your ac-count. Vou catch It In Just twenty minutes, and are politely thanked by the engineer for not having kept him waiting longer. Gradually widening vistas, where mile on mile of olive and mulberry groves clothe the g hills, re-veal the countryside's two staples. The olive, the cocoon, the seaboard for centuries the Anatolian Greek Identified himself with this trio. The . trio remains; but the Greek, because of the post-w- shift of populations, has deported. Rising abend the Asian Olympus re- - eggs, and feeding worm. In time of war they had prepared for peace. The silkworm has a voracious appe-tite for a creature 3 Inches long, and during Its brief life of thirty days It consumes six tiroes Its own weight In mulberry leaves. After this sumptuous repast, and having shed Its skin four times. It spins around Itself a cocoon made of a double fiber of silk, each fiber be-ing not uncommonly 400 yards long. A fortnight later It softens the Inclos-ing silk with Its saliva, then pushes forth as a moth. After pairing, the female moth lays 400 eggs or more ; then, her usefulness over, she dies. The cultivator, having chosen the best eggs for breeding pur-poses, Incubates them for thirty days, at a temperature well below blood heat, when a fresh crop of worms Is hatched. The cocoons chosen for the silk fac-tory are steamed, so as to kill the In-closed life. Then they are steeped In basins of hot water; the gelatinous matter U thereby softened, and ma-chines begin to wind off the silk fila-ment This Is so fine as to be Invisible to the casual glance, and the attached cocoon, bobbing about In the hot wa-ter like an animated peanut seems al-most alive. Scenes of War for Ages. Leaving Mudanla, your boat Is soon dipping seaward through the Darda-nelles, where fortress-bearin- heights gradually slope, on the Asiatic side, Into Troy's plain, and on the Euro-pean Into tbe sparsely clad spit of Gnlllpoll. Surely, In tbe New world, magnifi-cent residences would crown such heights. Instead, only a few mean villages dot the shores of that passage, along which two continents face each other almost within shouting distance. Those sixteen hundred yards which separate Sestos from Abydos have been dedicated to war for over two thousand years. There the ancient Persians crossed by boat bridges to Invade Europe. There the Greeks un-der Alexander crossed to lnvnde Asia ; and In the middle of the Fifteenth cen-tury the Orlent'a turn came again when the Ottoman Turks passed over at the same spot, planting their ban-ner In Europe for the first time. It Is the ferry to conquest or dis-aster. Legends of a seven years' siege beckon from the abutting Trojan plain, while Just opposite, off Gnlllpoll. the Aegean ran blood-re- with the terrible allied losses of 1915. Today some acres of wooden crosses alone mark the desolate scene of that modern Iliad. Little Journeys inf Americana By LESTER B. COLBY Pelathe, the Eagle PELATHE, the Eagle, ride. Pity mare. Pelathe rides to warn a city of Impending disaster. He ride to warn sleeping Lawrence, Kansas, of massacre at dawn. For Quantrlll, bushwhacker, wholesale murder In his heart. Is riding west In a rage to burn and destroy. All night Quantrlll has been riding at the head of his 400 men. He bas routed farmers out of bed to act his guide. When be Is done with a guide be shoots blra. Dead men are safe and silent History says be mur-dered ten guides that night Qulndaro Is an outpost of Kansas City. Theodore Battles, scout holds the head of bis chestnut mare. She Is fleet stout of heart, deep chested, a thoroughbred. Scout Bartlea loves that mare but he Is about to sacrlBce her. Pelathe, the Eagle, tosses a light blanket across her back. He needs no saddle. Every ounce of extra weight will count on this ride. The chestnut mare breaks Into a full run. Pelathe, the Eagle, Is riding. And Quantrlll bas a long head start Ten miles out of Qulndaro and the little mare's breath Is coming In sobs. Pelathe, the Eagle, talks soothingly. He caresses her; urges her on. An-other mile or two and she begins to falter. Ah, a stream! Pelathe, the Eagle, slips to the ground. He wets the end of his blanket nnd wipes ber foaming mouth. He runs the damp cloth Into her nos-trils; over her head. Then he takes the dry end of the blanket and wipes her dripping 1pi;s and heaving flanks. He gives her a drink of water, just a drink the last drink she shall ever have I Pelathe takes her by the bridle, leads ber to the top of the rise-ge-ntly. Pelathe, slender, bold, brave Shawnee Indian, knows horses ; he knows how to get the Inst ounce of strength out of them. And this ride Is to warn a city of Impending doom. Lightly the Eagle vaults to the back of the chestnut mare. She breaks Into a run for the second time. Stronger now. She has gained her second wind. On, on, on to Lawrence, Kan., the doomed city. Can he make It ahead of Quantrlll t Mile after mile. Brave little mare. Only a few more miles now. She Is faltering. Her sides tremble. Her legs weaken. She Is going down. But Pelathe, the Eagle, knows a trick I Cruel, Inhuman I Tes, but a sleep-ing city must be warned of Its doom. Pelathe, the Eagle, draws his knife. He rips the shoulders of Scout Bar-tie-s' beloved chestnut mare. Blood gushes and spatters on the ground. Pelathe rubs raw gunpowder Into the flowing wounds. Tain more Intense than the pain from her bursting lungs flashes through the body of the gasping ani-mal. Perhaps some chemical action on her blood gives strength. With a groan the chestnut mare springs for-ward. There Is new power In her faltering legs. And a mile or so furth-er Is the village of the Dels wares. - Will she make It! Bravely she runs. No, she falters again and with a moan drops dead I ' I'elnthe, the Eagle, lands on his feet running. He dashes like a sprinter to the Delaware village. With a p to arouse the camp, he rushes to the corral. He cannot af-ford to be shot as a horsethlef. A word and he is on a fresh steed, a sturdy Indian pony. The quarter-moo- n Is growing dimmer. Soon the sun will rise. Quantrlll will strike at dawn. Now the dawn begins to come. Cod In Heaven I . Pelathe, the Eagle, looks down In-to the valley on Lawrence. His ride has been In vain. Miles back, on the road from Qulndoro, the little chestnut mare lies still In darkening blood. Too latel In the light of the dawn Pelathe, the Eagle, looks upon burning houses. The screams of weeping women mingle with fierce oaths. Guns roar. Villagers, white lipped, see their last sunrise. Tbe butchery that cost thnt August morning In 1803, not fewer than 150 lives, Is on, Quantrlll and his men are making a shambles of Lawrence. Their cry to the ashen-face- weeping, new-mad- e widows Is: "We are devils from hell I" Pelathe, the Eagle, sits on his pony, a statue in the dawn. His fuce is burled In his hands. (3, MM. Lester B.

It ended IP with snow and rain and a beary frost Sunday night, doing much damages to gardens and fruit. HEBER CITY More than 90 per cent of the fruit blossoms In Wasatch county were destroyed by frost re-cently. A heavy tall of snpw followed by an all-da- rain terminated In the killing . frost Garden vegetables which were out of the ground, and al-falfa has likewise been damaged se-verely by the frost 8PRINGVILLE A discussion of the plan for the Fruit and Vegetable Growers' association of Sprlngrtlle and Mapleton to Join with other grow-ers of the state and form a coopera-tive marketing association, was held in the First ward with V. C. Mendeu-hal- l and Tom Marsh, presidents of the association, In charge. PROVO The total cost of the new street lighting system which was com-pleted a few weeks ago has been sub-mitted to the city commission by City Engineer Frank Demlng. The cost is'given as $11,213.14. Of this amount the city's portion is $189.50, and the. balance Is assessed against abutting property owners. HEBER CITY Dairy day, typify-ing one of the principal industries of Wasatch county, wiU be celebrated June 7, at Charleston. The program, which is scheduled one of the best arranged during the last eight years during which the citizens of Wasatch county have turned out to do honor to their dairyman, and especially the clubs doing dulry work. - OGDEN Approximately only SO per cent normal potato acreage has been planted in Weber county this spring, says County Agmt A. L. Christiansen. The slump is occasioned by the low prices in the two previous years. Few cars will be shipped out this year. Acreage in Kaw valley, Kan., Is one-thir- d less this year, the agent ia in-formed. GUNNISON The heaviest May snowstorm in ten years, and one of the heaviest snows of any winter here of late years, visited Gunnison and vicinity recently. Six to eight inches of snow weighed the trees, already in foliage down to the ground, and broke many branches. The electric light service was put out of commission, and It may take some days to com-plete repairs. COALVILLE Work on the gravel-ing of the Lincoln highway from Ecjio to Basktn, in Echo canyon, was com-menced the past week by the Sumsion Construction company of Springvllle, employing about 20 men, 10 horses and seven trucks. As soon as this gravel has been placed, the state road mmmUninn pxriprts ta beein oiling the new gravel end placing the six-mil-e stretch in condition for tourist travel. i K AYS VILLE Farm crops in some sections of this state are reported to have been damaged by the frost which covered a large portion of northern Utah recently, according to Informa-tion received In Salt Lake. Reports received from parts of Davis county Indicated that the tomato plants had been damaged to some extent, while information was also received that some fruit in the south of Salt Lake county had been injured , PROVO Frosts, which struck this section and Utah county, following a slight snowstorm recently, have done considerable damage to the fruit crops of the section, according to re-ports coming into the Utah county agent's office. The strawberry and tomato crops In the county were quite severely nipped, and it is estimated that practically one-thir- d of the crops will be killed. Beans and other early cropa also suffered quite extensively, PLEASANT GROVE Utah's straw-berry crop this year covers 1300 acres, or about 10 acres less than were har-vested last year, the annual straw-berry crop report, released by Frank Andrews, statistician of the United States department of agriculture, shows. If the yield per acre this year is the same as the average for the past few years, 1929 production will amount to 2,340,000 quarts, compared wltb 2,800,000 quarts in 1928 and in 1927, the reports says. CEDAR CITY Arlzonlans living south of the Colorado river are en-thusiastic over plans for the celebra-tion, June 14 and 15, of the formal dedication of the new bridge over the river at Marble conyon in several respects one "of the most remarkable bridges in the world. The people of the sister state will themselves come en mass to the celebration, and they are looking for a large crowd from Utah and other regions on the north as well. CEDAR CITY The Zion-M- t Car-m-highway, one of the greatest scenic roads In the world, now under construction in southern Utah, will not be officially opened until May, 1930, when prominent men from all parts of the country will be invited to participate in the dedication. Horace M. Albright, director of national parks, said here recently. "We plan to make this one of the biggest celebrations ever to be held at any national park," he declared. "The highway will not be open to tourists this season and when it Is we expect to draw more tourists than ever before." Lj - OLD FOLKS SAY DR.

Wild animals, whose movements and natural Increase are restricted by ag-ricultural and Industrial development now face a serious hazard from auto-mobiles, which are Increasing in num-ber and are being driven over im-proved highways at the higher aver-age speeds possible by modern con-struction, better servicing facilities, and more liberal speed regulations. Approximately one person In five drives an automobile. The highway system Includes more than 615,000 miles of surfaced highways, with ap-proximately 90,000 miles In Important Interstate routes. Counted Carcasses. One member of the United States Department of Agriculture, observing the highway menace to wild life, de-termined to count the animal car-casses he passed while on two motor trips. : On a 632-mil- e trip In lowa last summer be observed 225 Individuals dead along the highway, crushed by speeding automobiles. These Included 40 reptiles, 43 mammals and 142 birds 29 species in all. Of the birds, 43 were woodpeckers and 20 were domestic fowls. Similar In South. On a tour early In October from southern Iowa to north-centr- Florida, a distance of about 1,400 miles, a sim-ilar count Identified 23 species In the death toll of highways. The 234 Indi-viduals included 6 amphibians, 81 rep-tiles, 45 mammals, 67 birds, and 85 miscellaneous vertebrate forms. The bird list Included 23 domestic fowls and 21 English sparrows. Six cuts, two dogs, and a pig composed the group of domestic animals other than poultry. oooooooooooooooooooooooooo 1 Spark Plugs Should x be Installed Often S 5 The points of a spark plug X 9 actually wear out This, In ad-- 9 6 dltlon to the cracking of the 6 9 porcelain.

Patrolman on James river bridge, at, Norfolk, Va., longest In world, is shown warning fair motorist to "step on the gas" and do over 35 miles per hour over the four and a half-mil- e stretch. This Is the only way to re-lieve traffic congestion on the $0,000,-00- 0 span that connects Newport News and Norfolk, Va. The sky Is the limit when It comes to speed. Forbid Petting While . Driving in Skidmore In Skidmore, Mo., the town council recently enacted an ordinance that is likely to meet with some disapproval on the part of those who keep one arm entwined around fair compan-ions with the other arm free for driv-ing. The new law, according to a bulle-tin Issued by the Automobile Club of Illinois, proclaims that "The driver shall not place an arm around the person of another, but shall keep both hands free. . . . Nor shall any person place an arm or arms around the person of the driver. "Anything that makes for safer and saner driving should be accepted as worthy of such action, and the step taken by the MIssourlans In the pas-sage of the ordinance will likely be followed by other municipalities, de-clared SI Mayer, president of the club." "High" Means "Low" at Some Gasoline Depots Life's marked mobility has created a situation whereby the car owner buys his gasoline from many differ-ent stations at least during those months of the year when the open road calls. There are many good stations from which to buy gas, but the fact that all of them do not handle the same brands Interposes the need for a precaution. That is to remember that "high test" Is a general term and may mean an entirely different thing as applied to different gasolines.

Problems of Commercial Vehicle Are Different The problems of the commercial ve-hicle are different from those of the In-dividual motor car. fei the case of the motor truck and bus we have a parallel to the frleght and express op-erations and to the stage coach. The rapid facility offered by the motor truck has tripled the speed of deliveries of merchandise as compnred with the days of combination railroad nnd horse-draw- wsgon. The result has led to a change In merchandising methods of the country, whereby local stcres carry smaller Inventories, but have rapid access to supplies of largo ceitral warehouses.
