HIGH WATER TOWER.
Encased In the Worlds Largest
Corinthian Column.
Ancient Triumph OF Architecture
Which for Forty Years Has
Evoked the Admiration OF
Visitors to ST. Louis.

st. Louis.-The old water tower,
the first and original. has gone out
of service. It's usefulness as well as
need in the magnificent water system
Of St. Louis Is thing Of the very
recent past. In the ancient water
tower the city of st. Louis possesses
the finest and tallest Corinthian col
umn In the world.
There are not 100 persons in St
Louis, even those who have knowl.
edge Of the finer and artistic ele-
ments-those that mark for grandeur
and perfection in symmetry
ever realized the value of the tower
as a work of utility and beauty. Few,
indeed, are aware that the western
metropolis, for period of nearly
forty years, possessed a triumph in
architecture which has again and
again evoked the admiration of Wis.
itors from Europe and other parts OF
our own country.
Some forty years ago, when the
waterworks system was limited and
in it's incipiency, 1t was deemed i'm
perative that a means Of relief for
the service pumps and the class OF
engines in use be established.
About that time Joseph P. Kirk.
wood, noted eastern engineer, be.
came the chief engineer of the ST.
Louis waterworks. Mr.. Kirkwood was
an expert in waterworks mechanism
and engineering. He went to Europe
In that period to make study Of the
best waterworks systems in the big
capitals, and came back with much
information as to high standpipes.
It was along in 1868 that the water
board decided to erect a high stand
pipe at Grand avenue. At first 1t
was planned to hold the pipe in place
by means Of guy ropes, but Mr..
Barnett, the architect of the depart
ment, suggested inclosing the pipe in
a column Of brick. The idea was
adopted by the engineers and the
commissioners.
The work of building the pipe and
the Corinthian column was by con-
tract It was started in the fall Of
1869 and completed In July, 1871,
when the first gallon Of water was
pumped into the big standpipe. The
height of the pipe from the ground
to the top of the tower-the bottom
of the capitol, where the observation
platform isis 164 feet. The column
proper, encasing the pipe, is 155 feet
{ inches. The base Of the column ia

Between the standpipe and the col
umn on the inside is space of feet
s inches, and in this space was built
q spiral stairway, winding around the
pipe and leading to the observation
platform on the capitol. The height
of the capitol Is 10 feet 5 inches.
From this point thousands Of persons
who were willing to brave the fatigue
of climbing the narrow spiral stair
way have had fine view of the city
and the surrounding country. The to-
tai cost of the old water towe. was
$45,644. And the city considered It
q good investment.
When the tower was completed the
citizens of ST. Louis regarded 1t as q
monument Of civic enterprise to be
proud of, but few realized the real
merit of the structure as splendid
example of good engineering and ar
chitectural beauty.

To Enamel Woodwork.

Whenever you want to apply an
enamel finish, lightly rub with me-
dunn grade of sand paper. There
are several liquid paint and varnish
remoyers on the market if the old
paint is in a bad condition. Many
women are able and have the time to
give the finish in a room a coat of
enamel paint Dust and dirt do not
adhere to this finish, and it is great
labor saver as well as delight to the
eye.

The Gold Crop.

According to the best estimates at
hand. the gold crop of the world for
the wear 1910 was $454 100000, which
Is equal to that of 1909. The output
of the latter year was the greatest in
the history of the world. OF the
gold produced, more than two
thirds is either coined or piled away In
vaults for coinage purposes. Thus we
are adding billion dollars in every
three-year period to the worlds stock
Of gold coin. There is one of the
reasons why Iowa land Is not going to
decrease in price.
In this connection 1t is interesting
to note that Thomas Edison has adopt
ed the views of some of the leading
English scientists, who hold that mat
ter is one, and that the transmution of
metals and minerals Is by no means
impossible and may be effected al
most any day. Edison pictures great
corporations redeeming their obliga
lions, which we're made payable In
gold, with stuff that can be turned
,ut at the rate of about SIS per ton
Either way. there will be vast prob
ANS left for coming generations, and
here will be hard nuts for the wisest

USE FOR OLD SHADES
NEED NOT BE THROWN AWAY
WHEN WORN OUT.
Many Practical Ways In Which They
May BE UtiIized-ExceIIent for
Cutting Out Dress Pat
terms.

Housewives are telling us that the
roller shades of today are fragile and
short lived compared to the substan-
tial Holland shades We all bought a
decade ago. The spring breaks too
easily-a single snap or jar when set
too tensely will rupture it-render the
whole shade useless unless you care
to bother with measurements and sup
ply new roller to suit. When the body
of the curtain itself Is little worn
and punctured it doesn't seem to pay.
The shade is discard and the waste
fulness apparent.
But there are several practical uses
for window shades that are past ordi-
nary use-the cheap paper ones as
well as those of standard material.
The latter is excellent for cutting
out dress patterns that you wish to
preserve against the ravages OF time
and constant handling
Besides being strong and easily
rolled, it yields readily to the pressure
of hot f1atirons, thus having the adj
vantage over the flimsy delicate It's
sue paper in which most patterns are
offered for sale. When smoothed or
ironed out on dress goods for cutting,
it STAYS put" and requires less pin
ming and readjusting. Some dress
patterns, entirely out of the province
of fads, are good for years when cut
out of something more durable than
newspapers or the like. Foundation
sleeve patterns, glove fitting waist,
and princess patterns would easily fall
into this class.
There are few abrupt changes in
the styles Of aprons, underwear, in
fants' clothes, and the like, and here
again one pattern cut out Of some
thing stout and durable may save you
much shopping.
Holland window shade material also
makes excellent stencils for practical
use as we'll as for preserving the pat
tern And a little of this is generally
on hand when the regular gelatin pa
per is not available.
One housewife has used old win
dow shades in a more ingenious way.
Being too narrow for any of the win
dows in her new home, she had one
of them fastened under the pantry
shelf, where 1t could be drawn down
waste Of time than turning the leaves
cooking recipe came to hand that par
ticularly appealed to her she would
draw down this shade and paste 1t un-
der the proper heading. 1t Is far
handler than cookbook, for she can
run her eye over the whole rapidly
and spot the recipe required with less
commodiously. Whenever good new
of big cookbook entails.
Intact parts Of this window shade
material afford good foundation for
scrapbooks or more particularly books
in which to keep your embroidery and
crochet patterns. Cut the leaves OF
average book size, and punch several
holes down the edge large enough for
fish cord or baby ribbon to pass
through. Lace back and forth across
the back edge through opposite holes
to get fairly secure binding. 1t is
better to sew your samples or pat
terms to the leaves than to keep them
lying loose. Then you will always
know just where to find them instead
of going through the whole collection.

libraries and the necessity to obtain a
collection of books to which the pub
lie could have access. After the work
had been carried on for many years
by the womans clubs, 1t was finally
decided to ask the general assembly
to follow the example of Massachu-
sets, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky and
several other states, and create a
state commission.
In 1909 the state library extension
commission was authorized by amend
ing the state library act of 1874. The
commissioners Of the state library
were empowered to appoint two per-
sons, who, together with the state IL
brarian, should constitute a board to
be known as the illinois library ex-
tension committee" The state IL
brarian, who is the secretary of state:
the superintendent of public instruc.
ton, and the governor, constitute the
state library commission.
Mrs. Georgia Bacon of Macon coun-
ty, for several years president of the
Illinois Woman's clubs, is leading
member of the extension committee,
and it was largely through her efforts
that the legislature was induced to
authorize the extension work.
The committee selected a Blooming
ton girl, Miss Eugenia Allen, as secre-
tary, and upon her devolves the major
portion of the duties of the commit
tee. Miss Allen has been engaged in
library work for the past ten years
and is regarded as one of the most
successful in her chosen profession in
the west. Size her appointment as
secretary last year, following the or
ganization Of the committee, she has
been actively engaged In carrying out
the establishment of libraries in COM
munities without such an institution,
and the Importance of her work is
now widely recognized. When the
the field in favor of the state, they
turned over to the state no less than
225 circulating libraries which they
had assembled and which were loaned
to rural communities. There were H.
900 volumes in this collection.
According to the statute under
which the commission operates, it Is
required to loan these travelling IL
braries to any organization or COM
munity not yet possessing an estab-
lished library, the idea being to use
the loaned books as nucleus for the
formation of public library. After
such an institution has become prop
erly established, the borrowed books

to the greatest practicable degree the
use and enjoyment of such books to
