New Way to Save Fruit From Frost
,f ???-. : ? # JlA * * V / '
Orcbardlsts all over America are watching with great Interest the demon
strations of a new type of frost eliminator In various groves of southern Cali
fornia. Something entirely new and doing away with the smudge nuisance,
which already is udder ban by the state legislature, the new frost dlspellers,
Installed in six strategic points in the orange groves, have passed all prelimi
nary tests. A huge scaffolding on which is mounted an awesome looking fun
pel through which warm air Is kept circulating by airplane propellors1 Is the
gist of the invention.

JONAH
By THOMAS
j "itl '
CLARK
The first thing that cornea to mind
when one mention* the name of Jonah
1* his eicapadi
with the whale,
which, If the truth
be told. Is probably
the most trivial
and unimportant
event In Jonah's
history. The thing
that really counts
Is Jonah's charac
ter. We could leave
out the story of
the whale and we
should still have
the Important de
tails left.
The Bible tells
little about Jonah's family. It merely
mentions his father's name. I sus
pect, however, from the way he acted
that he was an only child with maybe
a grandmother or two or a few maid
en aunts, to spoil him, for Jonah was
one of these boys who didn't willingly
do the things he* didn't like to do.
He must have been a good boy, or
the Lord wouldn't have chosen him to
go to Nineveh to try to get the town
cleaned up and the laws enforced and
a little order established. I suppose
he was one of these boys who had
"never given his mother a moment's
trouble or uneasiness." Evidently he
had not been trained to do unpleasant
things, and he had been used to sleep
ing until some one called him. You
will recall that when the storm was
on, and every one else was tearing
about trying to keep the ship from
going down, they found Jonah sound
asleep waiting for the alarm clock to
I go oif or for a freshman to wake him
up. No ; he had never been used to
getting up without being called.
He must have been a smart fellow,
I though, or It never would have oc
I curred to anyone to send him to a
place like Ninevah with any hope that
he would reform the place.
Jonah was smart enough ; he was
in a general way good enough, what
he lacked was a sense of duty, the
backbone to tackle a hard ,^ob and
carry it through whether It was pleas
ant or not.

Great Smoky Mountains
: > Veritable "Noah's Ark"
New National Park Contain* a
Variety of Animal*.
Knoxvllle, Tenn. ? The Great Smoky
mountains, near here, now a national
park, to a vorltublo "Noah's Ark," con
taining animal life in every form,
abounding in 000 miles of streams suf:
flciently large fof fishing, on the land,
and In the air.
The Great. Smoky mountains faunal
survey, being conducted under the
auspices of the Chicago Academy of
Sciences, in the "Smokies," as they are
locally known, is revealing animals not
known to exist in the Smokies, un
known because the Smokies have never
been visited by many scientists until
recently, but especially because the
Smokies are believed to be the^old
est mountains in the world, probably
the birthplace, ages ago, of many varie
ties of animal life native to North
America.
Not only are the Smokies the oldest
mountains but here the Appalachian
range bulks out to its greatest width
and rises to lis "highest altitude," the
main ridge being an average of a mile
high, with Cllngman's Dome rising
0,042 feet above sea level. The
Smokies rise suddenly from the
Tennessee river valley, from a water
level base, of 1,300 feet, to 5,000 and
0,000 feet skyline.
The faunal survey has found ani
mals usually found in all levels from
1,300 feet to 0,000 feet, but there seems
to be three distinct animal life zones
in the Smokies, the northern, from
0,000 down to 3,000, the eastern from
8,000 to 2,000 and 'the southern from
2,000 feet down. Especially Interest
ing, the faunal survey found was that
animals on the higher reaches of the
Smokies have no relatives nearer than
Id Canada, and, as the Smokies were
cut off during the glacial period, the
animals In the Smokies of the same
species as In Canada, have developed
a different form in the Smokies. In
fact, their form ts so different as to
have Really created different species.
Steady Increase in
Employment Is Shown
Washington. ? While reports from
many sources. Including the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, reveal a
steady Increase in employment In
the United States, 10 nations In Eu
rope also reveal conditions so much
Improved that observers generally
believe that the depression wll]
have definitely reached an end by
spring. Employment has Increased
j anywhere from 3 to 8 per cent since
June In most countries, It Is re
vealed.
In nine other countries of Europe,
Including England ami Japan, un
employment figures show nn In
crease, however. Nations which
show Improved conditions besides
the United States, Include Italy,
Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia,
Switzerland, Canada, France, Po
land. and Finland.
The American Federation of La
bor and the federal government both
report Increasing employment In
this country. The labor federation
adds the qualification, however, that
whilf this trend is encouraging to
business recovery there Is still a
major relief problem facing the na
tion during this winter.

One Sure Way to
End Coughs and Colds
Persistent coughs and colds leud to
serious trouble. You can Btop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsihed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a
new medical discovery with two-fold ac
tion; it soothes and heals the inflamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per
sistent coughs and colds and other form9
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in
flammation, while tne creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory

colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forma of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for bnilding up the system
after colds or flu. Money refunded if any
