Stormy Career Of the Man For Whom
Bolivia Is Named.

bolINla iS NdWeus
Bolivia. the South American
country, gets its name from Simon
Bolivar The land has had as
stormy history as did the liberia
tor who assisted in making it re-
nublic i'm 1925. Bolivar had been
writing his name large in South
American history for a long time
before that date, however, earning
for himself the title of the "Wash-
inQton Of South America" Simon
Bolivar was born in Caracas. Ven
azucla. in 1853 of noble and
wealthy family. He studied law in
Spain. Travelled much in Europe,
married and returned to his native
country. In 1909 he visited the
United States on his return from
another journey to Europe. 1t was
at this time that he became an en-
thusiastic admirer of republics and
made up his mind to free Venezue-
la from Spanish despotism. From
that time on war was his portion.
In 1913 he entered Caracas as
conqueror, was hailed as the liber-
ator of his country by the people
and made absolute dictator in civil
and military affairs. He met with
reverses, however, at the hands Of
the Spaniards, and it was during
a period of defeat on the continent
that he convoked a congress in
Haiti, instituted a government and
abolished slavery there. That was
in 1916. Thereafter he was sue
cessfulJ against the Spaniards in
South America, and in 1919 at An
gostura, Venezuela, he was chosen
president with the power of dicta-
tor When New Granada united
with Venezuela he was made the
first president. BY 1922 the new
republic was completely cleared of
royalist troops.
Bolivar was summoned the same
year to help the Peruvians and in
1924 was named dictator of Peru.
BY 1925 the Spaniards were driven
out of Peru also, and Bolivar, call
ing Il congress at Lima, formally
resigned the dictatorship. Soon aft
or that the southern part Of Peru
was erected into a separate state
and named Bolivia, and he could
have been dictator for life. Howev-
er. troubles in Colombia kept him
busy. Venezuela broke away from
the rest Of Colombia in 1929. Boil
ivar was denounced for his ambi-
ton, and he was virtually forced to
retire to Cartagena. He died in

Queer Courtinc.

All the courting is done by the
women of Ukraine, Russia. When
a girl falls in love with man she
goes to his house and tells him the
state of her feelings. If her affec-
tions are reciprocated a marriage is
arranged. If, however, Barkis is
not willin' she remains in the
house, hoping to coax him into re-
garding her suit with favor. The
poor fellow cannot treat her with
discourtesy or turn her out, for her
friends would be sure to avenge the
insult If he is really determined
that he won't have her his best
plan is to leave his home and stay
away as long as she remains in it..
Thus man may be turned out Of
house and home.

WIND POWER PLANT.

be set at a steep incline Such sails
must be long and narrow and set
closer together.
In pumping from a deep well the an.
gle of the sails Of the windmill is
such that the wheel will revove the
same number Of revolutions a minute
that it is desired to operate the pump.
This makes ii possible to connect the
mill directly to the pump without the
gearing necessary where a high speed
is employed in operation Of the pump.
While the low speed means less wa
ter pumped, it greatly lengthens the
life Of the mill.
In the Illustration the windmill, tow
er and tank are combined in a rather
ornamental structure. When the well
is located on high ground as compared
with the grounds where the water Is
to be distributed the tank may rest
upon the surface, as shown, and the
windmill frame be constructed over
head. When the mill is to be located
on lower ground the water tank may
be placed midway on the windmill
frame or on top, with the windmill
| Just above the tank.
A tank placed thirty feet from the
ground will give pressure Of fifteen
pounds when the tank is full. This
would lift water to the second story
Of a house standing on the same level.
| A garden uose nozzle connected with
this tank would force stream nearly
as high as the bottom Of the tank, or
twenty-five to thirty feet horizontally.
Twenty barrels of water would supply
a garden hose nozzle for a little over
an hour. These small tanks are COM
monty used in connection with an
eight to ten foot windmill. The same
sized mill, however, may be used with
a larger tank when the water Is to be
used for household purposes, bath
room, lawn and fire protection. A six
ty-fve barrel tank will supply a gar
den hose nozzle for about four hours.
