Child, state superintend- i of public instruction criticises the jl, lukewarm observance of such holidays as the birthday anniversaries of Abra- i ? ham Lincoln and George Washington. He believes that If we set aside the 1 '; days as holidays we should observe 1 ' them whole heartcdly and that the ob- ' ' Rervance .should not be limited to a i few. ' L There is no quarrel with his argu-j ment. If a holiday is worth setting 'ii aside it 1b worth observing in a whole j hearted manner. ,'! ' But with the world In Its present I state of under-production there are j many who argue that the number of holidays should be cut down Instead Increased, if there arc 20,000,000 wage earners in the United States, a ; , general holiday means that the pro- l duction 'of the country is decreased j i by the amount of work that this num- jl. ' ber can do. i f The Guarantee Trust company of New York has published a book in Which it gives 'the holidays in each ; J country and there arc surprisingly j few days which arc not observed as a holiday in one of the many countries in which they do business, otherwise they might make mistakes in ncgo- I tiable paper. I This volume notes a tendency to I ,,. suppress all minor holidays and give I official recognition only to those of I ! national importance. I , The lateBt move for a holiday has Ii! been made In connection with the an- I 1 nivcrsary of armistice day. Bills have 1 1 been introduced in several allied coun- " tries and in the legislatures of. states V in the United States, but in few cases " has the day been made a holiday. L Utah has eleven state holidays. I ' "They arc New Year's day. Lincoln's I t birday, Washington's birthday, Arbor I' day, Decoration day, Fourth of July, Is July 24, Labor day, Columbus day I', Thanksgiving and Christmas. Iij ' CIGARS AND CIGARETS Jj T'ho cigar Is running far behind the j ' cigaret in popularity, the bureau of A crop estimates of the United Statc3 j department of agriculture has discov er ered in going over statistics' on the ) Hi Orpheum ' Tuesday, Feb. 17 BBBBBBBBBBT HOWARD HULL PRESENTS j The Distinguished American Hj '' Actress j Margaret Anglin ' In Her New Play 1 "The Woman of Bronze" H ' By Henry KIstemaecher and H 1 Eugene Delard H; Supported by an excellent company Hj of metropolitan players and a gor- H geous production Hj PRICES, $2.00, $1.50, 51.00, 50c. j SEAT SALE OPENS TODAY H II I I I Will I I ! j I' II ii (amount of tobacco grown and the sale of that tobacco. Cigar types of tobacco arc produced iir New England, New York, Pennsyl consin. Georgia and Florida. Of the vanla, the Miami valley in Ohio. Wis- ontire tobacco crop of the nation the cigar types constituted about one-sixth in 1919. All the rest of the tobacco grown in the country was sold for i chewing, smoking and snuff, j The bureau finds that the price of jlho cigar type tobacco, which formerly I was the highor, has dropped and that the tobacco used for clgarets, chewing and snuff now brings the higher price. This decrease has not been brought i about by increased production of cigar 'tobacco, it is slated, but by the lack of demand. The cigar has been over I taken and passed by the cigaret. This information from the depart ment of agriculture is not surprising f jr every year readers of newspapers are furnished with, information as to how many millions or billions of cig arets are being smoked in the United 'States and each group of statistics is accompanied by the announcement i.tliat the figures show a marked in crease over the number smoked in the previous year. . Cigaret , smoking increases despite the fact that virtually all anti-tobacco propaganda is aimed directly at the cigaret. We hear of anti-cigaret crus ades and anti-cigaret laws but never anti-cigar laws, yet It is a matter of observance that the cigar smoker con sumes much more and much stronger tobacco in a day that the average cig aret puffer. Take, fcr example, a cigar smoker of your acquaintance. lie smokes at the least three cigars a day. Three would I bo low average. Then take a cigaret smoking friend. If he smokes a pack :age of 20 cigarcts a day he is quite a smoker. Yet there is more tobacco in tho' three cigars than there is in the i Package of cigarets. The cigar smok er usually smokes his cigar prettv close to the end in these dayB of high cigar prices, but -the average cigaret ', smoker throws his smoke away when it is burned a little past the half-wav point. ! But it begins to look as though all tobacco, not merely the cigaret, is to jbe the objeet of attack. The anti-to-, bacco forces are lining up and the to bacco manufacturers and growers are ' .getting ready for the fray. Still it' seems hardly likely that a drastic bill ' prohibiting smoking or the use of to I bacco in other ways ,1s an immediate possibility. oo NEVADA'S PETRIFIED TREES "In Humboldt county. Nevada, in he heart of the groat natural wonder land of the west," writes H. P. Whit-' ' ock, curator of the department of mineralogy of the American Museum of Natural History, "have been brought to light some fossil remains remarkable not merely because they are trees which have turned to stone,) but because the stone Is onal. I ' "To reconstruct tho process by which this miracle of nature haa come about we must go baok thousands of years to the time when these trees clothed tho mountain sides or shaded the valleys over which roamed the mastodon and the sabre-toothed tiger, ' a landscape far different from what) we see today from the train window j or the pack horse trail. Wo must con celvo this country overwhelmed by 'some wirespread disaster (possibly' I one of the earthquakes which must1 have been frequent in such a volcanic region), which reduced the growing i fsrest to a swamp and buried the tree trunks under many feet of water-soak- J cd debris. It was then, when the trees I had become mere water-logged snags, ,lhat the process which converted them into opal began. For the water which penetrated to their Inmost I pores was not tho Innocent fluid wo 'are accustomed to dip from a wayside pond, hut a more or less heavily charged polutlon of Hillca, probably hcated by a volcanic action. "Such a mineral water, gradually, 'as the woody substance of the tree 1 lyieldcd to decay, replaced this sub- . stance, particle by particle, with hyy drated silica, after preserving with wonderful fidelity the cellular struc ture of the wood. Much of the opal Into which the wood has been trans formed Is of the variety called seml opal, but some of the silica has been deposited as precious opal and exhib its all the beautiful and changing color of that gem. "A representative serfes of these Nevada wood-opal replacements has ' been put on view in the Morgan Hall : of Minerals, in the American Museum of Natural History. Here all the steps in the process of this remarkable j transformation of wood into opal may ! be seen. Hero one may see clear, I glass-like fragments of former trees j which send Out a rich ultramarine j glow like a pool of light. Other pieces i flashe with brilliant red, orange, blue and green, shifting arid varying with j erery change of position. Broad sheets of color and harlequlnadc-like shad- I lngs contrast. A unique specimen is J of dark, smoky body color, which, when It catches the light at the right ! angle, reflects back a dull glow of red and orange, almost as if there still burned in it some of the fires of the extinct volcanoes which were probab- j ly the first factors in its mctaraor- j phosls."
