GOLD
Is Found In Waters Of The
Ohio River


Huntington, w. Va, Sept.30-Eyery
inhabitant of Huntington and other
cities whose drinking water is being
pumped from the Ohio River, if they
be water drinkers, are taking into
their systems daily a considerable
quantity of gold.
Not only is the precious metal be-
ing wasted in that manner, but the
streets are being sprinkled with the
metal bearing liquid.
This fact was disclosed today in an
analysis of the water made by James
G. Blake, a chemist, who declares that
his analysis shows that every half
pint of water taken from the city
mains contains 1 per cent Of gold,
also traces of silver and copper.
Whether the gold exists in sufficient
quantity to pay for the separating OF
it from the Ohio River water Mr..
Blake was unable to say.

Mann Egg, Chinese laundryman

last night when an automobile bore
down upon him, with the result that
he was badly scrambled, and surgeons
at the County Hospital are now trying
to unscramble him.
Mr. Egg was essaying to cross
South Clark street at the corner of
West Harrison, but his woodensoled
shoes hobbled him, and the automo-

Symbolic Fountain Head.

Did you ever stop to think why
a lions head should be chosen in
preference to any other design
for drinking fountains? You vii.
see these heads with the water
gushing out of the mouth, If
public parks, buildings and III.
many places where fountains are
provided both for man and beast,
The reason for the use OF the
lion head for this purpose has
been traced back TO the ancient
Egyptians who always celebrated
the rising of the waters in the
Nile river as one of the most i'm
portant events of the year. As
the waters flooded the low lands
each side or It's banks, tertlllZlng
the earth and causing the crops
to grow, it meant life and pros
perity to the entire nation.
Now, the rising of the waters
always took place when the sun
was in the constellation of Leo,
the lion. Consequently t h e
Egyptians adopted the lion as
the symbol for life giving waters
and all their fountains were
carved with a lions head. Later
the Greeks and Romans copied
the symbol and so it has come
down to US.
