and their sincerity is evidenced by the
appearance of the city today. the enter

the care and comfort extended TO every
visitor.

eresS arranges the details of the cere-
monies at the Capitol at which the
President and Vice President take the
oath of office but apart from this the
elaborate plans of amusement, the deco

the citizens of Washington.

man OF the inaugural committee shall be
appointed by the national chairman of
the political party whose representative
has been the victor on election day. He

ment, to take upon his shoulders the gi-
gantic task of making the citys celebra-

city had to be chosen to aid in the ad.
mnistration of this fund. Soon after the
first appointments of the inaugural COM
mittee the committee chairmen were
chosen. AS may be seen from the list.
there were more than a score Of general
channels through which the money raised
had to flow. To see that every penny was
properly spent and to use Judgment. taste
and business ability representative man
was placed at the head of each committee.
The inaugural ball, one of the big events
of the Inauguration, is arranged for by
men of experience. The money raised by

SOCIETY OF GOOD CHEER
HAS A WORTHY OBJECT

"HE Society of Good Cheer has
been chartered under the state
laws of New York by group
OF young women of the upper
West side OF New York City. These
earnest young workers aim to cheer
the sick and especially the GONZALES
cent. to give a touch of joy to those
lives that have been brought low
through sickness, to flnd the stranger
within the gates" that may be very
much In need of cheer and to promul-
gate cheerfulness among all classes OF
people.
For como time these young ladies
have made it q part of their every day
life to visit boarding houses. hotels,
hospitals and private residences. where
the sick were convalcscing and by dis
tributing flowers, books, magazines md
good cheer, have assisted many people
back to rugged health and real life.
Miss Theora Carter the leading
spirit among these young ladies' con-
ceiycd the Idea OF organizing a society
of good cheer to be composed of young
ladies who would devote a portion of
their time to helpfulness and cheer
Miss Carter became sick while at.
tending post graduate classes in Chi
cngo and mapped out the work while
convalcscing She Is now deyoting her
ample income and time 10 the society
and has inspired such q spirit of cheer
among her young associates in New
York that many have Joined in the
work.

society and she and her co-workers are

UNIQUE WATER TOWER
BUILT OF CONCRETE

THERE is now nearing completion
1 in Uccle. suburb of Brussels. Bel
gium, a concrete water tower of strik-
ing and graceful proportions and of
interesting construction. AS an ex-
ample OF the artistic in concrete block
construction it probably has no equal
either in this country or in any other
part of Europe.
The tower and tank have height of
145 feet and the latter has a capacity
of 2S0.000 gallons The structure Is cir
oular and is built entirely of concrete
blocks and without molding of any
kind excepting that used In the build
ing OF the concrete reinforcing struts
surrounding the base OF the tank prop
or. The inside of the tower is built up
in practically six stories. connected by
winding stairway. These different
floors are divided into rooms. The
stairways are placed along the outer
walls and the water mains In the
center are enclosed by q concrete COW
cring of square cross section. The tank
will have a concrete top, tho center
OF which Will rest on a continuation
of the water mains or pipes, Excel
lent light IS afforded the apartments
by large windows.
Ine most interesting feature OF tne
structure, aside from its artistic merit.
Is the manner In which 1t is built up
by the aid OF concrete blocks, says
Cement Age. These blocks are of a
new and peculiar design and are made
In n small steel form, usually on the
ground where they are to be employed.
The blocks were placed in horizontal
courses and were handled from the In
side. where a light scaffolding was
necessary. They were reinforced with
three small round rods. not so much
for their permanent reinforcement as
to prevent breaking In handling. The
number of blocks in each course al
ways remain the same but they are
placed In the opposite direction In
each succeeding course. That Is to say.
the blocks of the even courses will take
one direction around the tower and
those OF the odd courses will have the
opposite direction. In this maner the
Joining of the blocks of one course.
where they do not meet perfectly. Will
be covered by the blocks above and
below Each block has as one of its
extremities a "hook" similar to the
letter u. This hook forms a hollow
space which extends the full length of
the structure and, of course, there will
be Just so many of these hollow spaces
as there are sides to the tower. or 80.
Through these vertical hollow spaces
are placed steel reinforcing rods of
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1909-12-25

circular cross section and varying in
diameter according to their location In
the structure. This is not the only rein
forcing which the blocks have, how
ever, as there is a series of small rods
placed on top of each course and eN-
tending around the entire 30 blocks in
the course.
A very clever idea In connection with
the design of the blocks is that there Is
need of only two or three sizes of
blocks for the entire structure. al
though 1t has a considerable taper. In
other words the taper OF the tower is
taken up In an ingenious manner by
utilizing the "hook'' In the blocks. The
ends of the long arms of the blocks of
the first course are placed Just to the
inside the hook in the block next to
It and then in the next course the
arms are placed a little farther into the
hooks and so on until the top Is reach
ed. Thus each succeeding course has
a slightly smaller diameter than the
one preceding It,
The same form OF construction has
been used In Europe in connection with
chimneys and has been found we'll
adapted to them.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The leaves Of the kat plant are n
common stimulant among the natives
OF Abyssinla and Arabia Consul
General r. p. Skinner reports that
they are chewed when any special or
long continued effort Is to be made.
and their effect is to produce an agree
able slecplessness and stimulation

tion with none OF the dIsagreeabIc
features OF ordinary Inebriety, They
enable messengers and soldiers to go
without food for a number of days.
They sometimes produce state OF
drunkenness. like the alcohol OF Eu-
ropeans. but over-indulgence is rare.
the effects of abuse of the habit being
n tendency of the body to dry. and
cancellation OF the visage. with trem-
bling of the limbs and other nervous
troubles. In some places merchants
chew the leaves two or three times a
day. the habit being fairly comparable
to the use of tea In the United States

cultivated as dwarf shoots. shrubs and
small troes-the dwarf plants being not
moro than 16 inches tall and yielding
tho most tender, popular and high
priced leaves.

many, especially near Berlin. It has be-
come the habit OF men of all ages to
lie naked in the sun on the banks of
a rlvcr for hours at time, occasionally
entering the water, and often continu-
Ing the practise daily. The advocates
OF this mature treatment have ac-
qulred quite fanatical views of its ef-
ficacy. Prof Grawitz has found. how
ever, that it's effects may be decidedly
harmful. and that II not only yields
painful sunburn. but may result In &C.
rIous irreguarity of the heart and nerv-
ous derangcment. Healthy children, In
the habit of playing hours daily on the
seashore. often acquire the same nerv-
GUS irritability from excess of sunlight.

that Will soon be a potent factor In our
national life.
Many lodges have been formed and
others are ready for organization. It
is proposed to institute lodges in all
the centers of the country to work with
physicians In aiding and assisting the
convalcSccnt md to bring before the
entire people the necessity for good
cheer at all times.
Already the famous Hampton Court
estate of Staten Island with Its so
acres of flne lawns and parks has heen
thrown open TO the members OF the So
clety for their work. A tented city in
New Mexico has been planned for In
cipient consumptiyes, and a number OF
New York's wealthy men will give ever
their yachts in the summer for several
days In order that excursions may be
taken along the Hudson. The society
is distributing hangers and cards
among business houses with the words.
"Cheerfulness Is an asset" Tho patrons
of the society include some of the lead
Ing women of the land. This society Ia
not charity Those who Join must
give a portion of their time and whers
that Is impossible, they are expected
to give way to others who are ready
to do work In person. One OF the aims
of the society Is to encourage men to
cheer up their friends and acuu lint
nnccs when sick and convalescing
Many men have an idea that when
they are sick 1t is best to be left alone
q kind of independence that does not
always work out we'll with the other
man. One of the strict rules OF tho so-
ciety Is that young ladies' In visiting
must go In pairs or groups and must
study sanitation and hygIenic rules
Sometimes just the fact that young
ladies' have called and left flower
and a card Will aid convnlesclng per-
son to n joy-a cheer that Is indeed
beneficial
