CAPITOL EXTENSION
Part Of Huge Tract Is Rapidly
Nearing Completion.
CIRCULAR ROAD SOON PAVED
iewa's 100000 Capitol improvement,
Has Progressed Far Enough To
Give Idea How Work Will
Look When Finished.

Des Moines-Work on the capitol
extension project is progressing
rapidly and ground that was former
ly occupied by factories, business
blocks and residences is now blended
into broad sweeping park.
The slightly circular road which
skirts the grounds upon the south
has been brought to perfect grade
and will be paved within sixty days.
The picturesque concrete bridge,
spanning the new roadway, which
will carry the grassy lawns, the
shrubbery and the walks of the
magnificent state house setting across
the deep cut where the circular
roads traffic passes underneath Is
well under way toward completion.
. Virtually all the old buildings
which stood on the site are gone,
the new drives are being laid out al
ready, final fills for the long, grace
full slopes are being made, and Iowa's
100000 capitol improvement stands
today far enough advanced to give
any visitor a comprehensive idea Of
how 1t will appear when 1t is gnish-
ed.
The circular road has been one OF
the. big features of the work finished
up to the last few weeks which has
brought particularly conspicuous re.
suits on the great improvement.
There is nothing more to be done to
the road but curb and pave it. The
contract for the curbing has been let
and proceedings for the paving have
been started.
The executive council first in
tended to award the contract for the
paving OF the road through the city
council. The state body adopted a
different plan, however. and advertis-
ed for bids to be submitted to 1t
direct, eliminating the city council
from the proceedings. This notice
stated that work on the street shall
be started not later than Oct. and
finished not later than Dec. /.

Jenny Wren is Particular.

Sometimes when have mentioned
my wren family to a friend and told
how the pair came to the little house
almost as soon as it had been put up
the first time, someone has said: II
have had bird boxes set up for years
and no birds have ever occupied them"
The reason for that state of affairs
must be that the boxes are not in the
right position. They should face the
south and are better. so think. II

Land Values RISING.

Ames.-In spite of the predictions
of few that Iowa land can go no
higher in price, farm land still con-
tinues to bring good prices. In many
communities it is almost impossible
to get land at any price.
A few DAYS ago farm near Perry
sold for $4,000. The price was 5000
an acre. There are 100 acres in the
farm and 1t has good improvements.
The man who purchased the farm is
a merchant who intends to rent the
farm.
Near Bouton several weeks ago a
farm sold for 1910 an acre. The farm
was sold at public auction. and there
was keen competition in bidding.
A farmer near Ellsworth made the
remark the other day that 1t was i'm
possible to get land unless an estate
had to be settled up. In that same
community where land is now valued
at 1925 good farms could be purchas-
ed fifteen years ago for $45 an acre.

Some Light Waves Absorbed, Others
Refected-copper Is Really
Salmon-Pink Shade.

One of the beautiful things we sell
dom see is the color of pure metals.
When exposed to the air most metals
tarnish so rapidly that our only means
to get even a passing glimpse Of their
true color is by quickly scraping off
the corroded surface.
The color of metals depends upon
the selective absorption of light waves
of different lengths. For instance, IL
a metal absorbs every light wave ex-
cept that of the length which pro-
duces the optical sensation yellow,
then its color is yellow, for what 1t
cannot absorb 1t reflects. Gold Is
such a metal. On the other hand,
when gold is beaten to such thinness
that 1t becomes translucent. It trans
mits not yellow light rays, but those
which 1t formerly absorbed. namely
a .greenish blue mixture.
Silver Is the best example of large
class of metals that reflect practically
all the light they receive. and are
therefore approximately of the same
color as the light to which they are
exposed From their color in the sun
light they are quite properly called
white" metals. Some Of these are
aluminium, magnesium. nickel. sodium.
tin, iron and anthony.
Others. like lead, cadmium and
zinc. have something of this silver
luster. but with slight blush tinge.
The gray metals. such as manganese
and cobalt, probably owe their lack of
color to their tendency to absorb all
colors, in about equal amounts. Bis
muth is of a peculiar light red and
potassium has pinkish tinge. Cop

colored," but is usually described as
salmon-pink.
