Irife- '»_ jg b-iRte TON PAf L Si*?-" k K' ■5. HEAVEN? A twin in which there will be no bootiegging, no gambling, no vicCj no filth, no unsightly billboards, no uncollected garbage, no disorder, is bong built on the banks of the Colorado River. It is the town winch will be occupied for seven or eight years by the engineers and laborers engaged in building the Boulder Daim. It has been planned and designed by the U. S. Engineers, who will administer the new town and control the conduct of its inhabitants. Those employed on the Boulder Dam job who don’t like to be re stricted in their hours off duty can live somewhere else if they choose BIbst of the ten or twelve thousam naai who will be enH>ioy6i dam, however, will live in this new town, which hasn’t been named yet. The name of “Heaven” has bee» suggested for it, but people’s ideas of Heaven differ so from each other that not all will agree as to the ap propriateness of that tile. f-H' MONEY More han a thousand million dol lars—$1,336,000,000, to be exact- of the “old” paper money is still in circulation. At least, that much has not been turned in at the U. S. Treasury for exchange for the new small-sized bills which were put in circulation a year ago. Washington officials estimate that probably half a billion dollars of this outstanding money never will be turned in. Soma of it has been burned, some lost, some hidden -^here it may never be found. Sixty million one-dollar bills j are still outstanding, and a great many $5,000 and $10,000 bills. There are still tens of thousands of persons who have no faith in banks and keep their money in the house or buried in the ground, not realizing that they are tempting thieves. The only safe place for money is in a soxmd bank. LOCKS 66“' wSere to start One morning a very unhappy young man waylaid me outside my front door. He is twenty-two years old, and an idealist. The men in the plant where he works use coarse language, their crudeness grates on him. Also, his job is dull. “I read biographies,” he said “Great men have all had an aim. I seem to be headed nowhere. I haven’t found myself,” Reader, what would you have said to that boy? I said ^t most of the men whom we read about in biographies did not have any great purpose. A few, such as musicians and painters, had a talent that could not be mistaken The great majority, of whom Lincoln is the classic example, were just as discouraged in youth as my young friend. They did not know where they were going, but they did not quit. They simply plugged ahead, and, usu ally to their own surprise, won out. I said, in the second place, that all men are cnide and all men are won derful. The purest saint has secrets in his heart that make him blush, the wnrst man has moments of splen dor. Man is the noblest of all the crea tures, and the most tragic—a little higher than the animals, a little lower than the angels. iWith all his crudeness, he does his work, sacri fices for his young, and faces blind fate with courage. “Don’t criticize ' men or judge it as one of the great medical dis coveries. Pneumonia is one of the three or four most common cause.: of death, especially among the elder ly. 'Anything which reduces the death rate frim tlus cause adds to every body’s expectation of life. them,” I said to the lad. “Like them. Laugh with them. God will do the judging,” Finally I said that, while it mig'nt do the younger man good to change his job, I doubted whether it would. He is in a fast-grrowing industry which has made fortunes and will make many others. I told him about a friend of mine who was driving through the Ken tucky mountains. Wanting to ge)t to Cincinnati for the night, he asked directions of a native. “Go down this road about ten miles, and take your right turn,” the native began. Then he stopped, and spat. “No, I think you’d do bet ter to go the other way and take your ftS-st left.” He spat again, thought deeply, and then, in a sud den burst of confidence, exclaimed: “Tell you what| neighbor. If I was aiming to go to tlincinnati I wouldn’t start from here.” Most of us want to arrive, but we’d like to start from somewhere else. Maybe I’m wrong, but I have come to the conclusion that it doesn’t make much difference where one starts, that all businesses are good and all are bad, all are dull and all are thrilling. And that the important thing about' getting somewhere is not studying maps or wondering about other roads But starting, right here, where wo are. PETER HOWELL’S BOARD- HOUSE VERY POPULAR In the Arabian Nights story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, the door of the robbers’ cave opened when one stood before it and pro nounced the words “Oi)en sesame.’' In the Westinghouse laboratory a door has been bplt which will open when those words are spoken in a certain pitch, and which will not open by any other means. Now the General Electric laboratory has built a door which opens only when knock ed upon in a certain way, at certain points, and wllich cannot otherwise be forced. The first thing one thinks of is that such doors would be useful for lodge rooms and private offices. But there are many other uses to which they could be put. .An averave -of about one a nigh* apply to Night Policeman HowpII for the pvivilese of eleeping in one of the . cells at the city fail, thus Sav ing the expense of lodging elsewhere. ■As a matter of fact, most of them p.re broke and trying to get from one place to another and are proud of the opportunity to get a place to sleep, even though it is in jail. Last week, ah old fellow, sixty nine years, old, passed through and asked for cccommodations. (He had been all over the country in seai’cli of wcrl, but all to'no avail. A peep . into the lives of each of tlieise more or less tramps would be an interesting study in human nature and would probably reveal a wide variety of humanity. YES, SOBER! While patrolling the waters of Rockfisli Creek . last week. County Game Warden, H. R. McLean killed a whip snake that was a great- grand dad. He was close to seven feet -in length, being as long a's Mr. McLean could step in two steps. He killed him with a pistol. Scientific WINDOWS Will the heme, orrice or factory' building have windows ,or not ? architects and engineers say not. Temperature control, with abundance of fresh air is already a demonstrated possibility in build ings whose windows are never open ed. Everybody who works in those buildings work at the same tempera ture the year around. Modern light ing is better tan sunlight, even if it doesn’t exactly matxsh it; in addition artificial sunlight can produce ultra violet rays, which do not pentrate through window glass, and make in door conditions imore healthful than w they are now. Perhaps man’s conquest of Nature ;iiiay make up again a race of literal '"cave-dwellers, creating, our own c.i- snate.

Israel Mann ^PNEUMONIA Curing pneumonia—^actually cur ing it—by the use of electricity, is ; the latest medical achievement.
