ADVICE TO COUNTRY GIRLS

The Young Women's Christian AS
sociation sends out the following
good advice to farmers daughters:
Girls should never ask the way
of amy one but officials on duty, such
as policemen, railway officials or
postmen.
Girls should never stay to help
woman who apparently faints at
their feet, but should Immediately
call policeman to her aid.
Girls should never go to an ad-
dress given them by stranger.
Girls should never go with a
stranger, even if the stranger is
dressed as a hospital nurse, or be-
lieve stories of their relatives hav-
ing suffered accident or having been
taken i'll suddenly, as this is a COM
mon device to kidnap girls.
Girls should never accept candy,
food, a glass of water or smell flow
ers offered to them by strangers.
Neither should they buy scents or
food or candy at their doors. Any oil
these things may contain drugs.
Girls should never take situa
tions without first making inquiries
through a society active or affiliat
ed in travellers aid work.
Girls should never go to any large
town even for one night, without THE
knowledge of safe lodging"
Plans are under way to have the
above words of caution posted il
every railway and street car station
in the United States, that cur girl:
may be warned of the dangers thai
await them while travelling.

A eEWILDERINo DISCOVERY

The Denver Post has discovered an
ancient lake in Eagle county, guard
ed by precipitous walls and access
tble only from one point, that rivals
the sacred lake of Peru. into which
the ancient Peruvians cast millions
upon millions of dollars worth of gold
to appease the wrathful spirits that
made the lake their home, says the
Georgetown Courier.
The Eagle county lake is even more
wonderful than the Peruvian lake, be-
cause 1t not only contains untold
wealth in gold, but inestimable values
in raddum, platinum. vanadium. irid-
ium, and other precious metals too
numerous to mention, including the
element INDIGENOUS to the Pest pha-
konium.
1t is the Intention to drive a tun-
mel under this lake, just as 1t rs pro
posed to tunnel under the lake in
Peru, and drain 1t and take out the
precious metals which line the bot
tom to untold depths, and which are
principally in the native state.
1t is the most marvellous discovery
ever made. and promises to turn out
more wealth than all the mines OF
the Rocky Mountains.

PROPORTiONlNG MATERIALS
FOR CONCRETE STRUCTURES

The first thing to consider in any
concrete structure is the proper pro-
portion Of materials. A simple meth
cd for determining the amounts nee
essary, is to apply the water meas
urement."
Take washtub and a small buck
ct and determine the number of buck
cts necessary to fill the tub with
sand. Next determine the number
of buckets of water that are neces-
sary to entirely fill the voids in sand,
being careful in this measurement
to bring the water to the surface Of
the sand. The number of buckets
of water determines the amount OF
cement for the amount of sand meas
ured Next measure the broken stone
or gravel into the tub the same as
the sand in the first step, apply the
water measurement" and this gives
the amount OF mixture Of sand and
cement necessary for the amount of
broken stone used.
For example. Suppose We put is
buckets of sand into the tub and
it takes six buckets of water to fill
the voids. then the proportion Of ce-
meut to sand Is 6 to IS. or 1 to 3.
Again we put Is buckets of broken
stone into the tub and find that 1t
takes nine buckets of water to fill
the voids, then the proportion Of the
sand to broken stone is to 15, or
3 to s. Our total mixture, therefore,
would consist of 1 part cement, 3
parts Of sand. and Is parts of broken
stone.

ONE RESULT OF PROHIBITION

pie which allowed these to become the

believe that farther prosecution will
bring no good results and will simply
delay business.
His suggest ons that the railroads

also sound. This increase should not
be made general without an investi-
CATION by the railway commission,

roads are hampered in many instances
by insufficient revenue to offset the
increased taxes and increased wage
schedule they have been obliged to
pay.
His other recommendations are
equally sound. The American people
are facing condition and not a
theory in business affairs. They
must study conditions with an open
mind and from business and not a
political standpoint There must be
greater economy practiced in govern
mental affairs. We have been a ma
ton of spendthrifts living on borrow

Very few of them have arranged for a
