advisability of establishing Govern

The project is the outcome Of con-
troversy that has arisen between the
Interior Department and the cement
manufacturers in regard to the price
of cement for use in building the great
Tonto Basin irrigation reservoir in Arl-
IONA. The manufacturers made an in
formal proposition to furnish cement
to the Government at $3.50 per barrel,
the amount required being 200, 900 bar
rels. Good cement can be made not
far from the reservoir site for $3.50

A New Alcohol Danger to Women

In the manufacture of a well-known pat
ent medicine, $50 barrels Of alcohol are
used weekly. The bottles containing this
so-called medicine hold a little less than a
pint If the mixture was made up OF one
half alcohol, It would require I6S,000 bot
ties q week to dispose Of this weekly con-
sumption of alcohol. These are facts
which make it easy to understand to what
proportion alcohol is used to produce an
intoxicating compound sold under false
pretences as medicine
Dangerous as such preparation is to
the health and morals Of the people, it Is
made many times more SO by the addition
OF nerve-deadening and poisonous drugs

During the middle ages the alche

the baser metals into gold and even
nowadays science still has some prob

unlikely to be realized. TO turn ordi-

them The table sugar part Of it is

sibilities that greatly interest the mod

Of commercial plants or in such student
workshops as the sugar laboratory Of
the Massachusetts Institute Of Tech

Grape sugar, which the chemists call
dexuose. is an important item in the
manufacture Of health foods and can
be used economically because 1t devel

The reason why sugar can be mad

Although trick automobiles can be
found III France and England, this
country claims the lead. The accom-
Is peculiarly well adapted to
American genius. Another reason for
the supremacy Of Americans is the
greater Iightness Of the American ma
chimes, taken as a class, and their ex-
IRENE sensitlveness and dehcacy Of
control. 1T Is Of course possible to do
more with a light car than with q
heavy French racer. Another condition
leading to the development Of trick
chauneurs in America is the encourage
ment given them by the manufactur-
ers, who favor trials Of skill because
they serve to exhibit machines and
demonstrate to possible purchasers the
llghtness and facility with which auto
mobiles may be controlled.
There are several tricks which may
be classed as favorites among chauf
feurs. They are all extremely difficult
but the one which more nearly borders
on the marvellous Is the watch trick.
Only the most expert chauffeurs at
tempt 1t, as the cost or failure Is the
cost Of watch. TO drive an automo-
bile against an open watch, to back 1t
and expect to stop the heavy machine
just in time TO spare the watch. seems
impossible. but the feat has often been
performed. -Leslie's Weekly.
