FLUTES OF GOLD.
They Have Sweeter Tones Than Thoss
Made of Any Other Material.

They Have Sweeter Tones Than Those
Made of Any Other Material.
BY some pretty experiments with
organ pipes of different materials DR..
Dayton Clarence Miller, professor OF
physics in the Case School of Applied
Science, Cleveland, o., has proved that
the quality of tone in wind instru-
ment depends upon Its material far
more than is generally believed. Writ
ing of futes In his book, The Science
Of Musical Sounds" he says
"The traditional influence OF differ
ent metals on the flute tone Is con,
sistent with the experimental results
obtained from the organ pipe Brass
and German silver are usually hard
stiff and thick and have but little In
fuence upon the air column. and the
tone is said to be hard and trumpet
like. Silver is dense and softer and
adds to the mellowness of the tone.
"The much greater softness and
density of gold add still more to the
soft massiveness of the walls, giving
an effect IKE the organ pipe surround
ed by water. Elaborate analyses OF
the tones from flutes of wood, glass
silver and gold prove that the tone
from the gold flute is mellower and
richer. having longer and louder Sc
ries of partials than flutes of other ma
terials.

Tho Word "Hiceouqh,"

The spelling 'hiccough" is recent.
being a combination of the syllables
"hlc" and the latter term of cough"
which is without either physiological
or chronological basis. The pronuncia-
tion, with perhaps the rarest excep.
tlons, is still that of the older form
"hiccup," earlier given variously as
"hickup," "hickupsnickup," "hickhOp,"
Hitchcock" hitchcock" and "hckett," )"
with quasi diminishing suffixes "Ock,'
"et." but the "hick," syllable aptly
expressive OF the spasmodic sound pro-
duced by the conditions giving rise to
the particular disturbance, is found In
all references to the origin OF the term
TO which the writer has been able to
obtain. The term "singultus" is rarely
used.

KNITTED TAMS.
Tips About Making This Most Popular
Headaear.

Headgear.
Knitters are directing all their atten-
ton to the making of tam-o -shanters
lust now. While the tams will be
worn to skating parties by grownups,
they are intended largely for school
girls.
One attractive model of old rose wool
Is knitted ON to a black velvet baH1.
which fits closely around the had
The top of the cap Is finished with a
fluffy ball of fur
Crocheted flowers are used exten
siyely to decorate some tams. They
are very effective affairs, the flowers
adding festive touch to the caps. No
matter whether the flowers match the
color of the tam or not, the result Is
Just as smart In one case as In the
other.
If one Is making a tam for q girl
who owns q roman striped scarf the
colors of the neckpiece should be In
troduced in the haS. The entire hat
might follow this suggestion, or a few
rows OF vRrlcolored wool might be
woven around the top of the model.
Another method would be to finish the
cap with tassel made Of various col
ored pieces of wool or silk.
It is really interesting to see the
many shapes used for the caps, Some
are round, others are square, many are
hexagonal, while a few ere made with
diamond shaped pieces Joined to give
the tam eight sides.
A cheerful tam OF yellow is Gro
cheted In the alternate stitch. This
stitch is doue so that every two rows
form. rib A single crochet stitch Is
taken throughout, except that 1t Is
made through only the back Of the
next stitch, alternating straight through
the entire strip, A military touch is
gained by the introduction Of a black
velvet chin strap.

Water Users Offered
A New Inducernent

An inducement has been made for
property with Olney Springs water,
thru action taken by the city coun-
ell Monday night of this week. Pro-
perty owners. some at least. have felt
that inasmuch as they have to pay for
the reservoir water they cannot Of
the reservoir water they cannot af-
ford to add the cost of the Springs
water. This matter was taken under
consideration recently and realizing
that people use less of the reservoir
water when they have the Springs
water piped to their homes it would
be no more than just to regulate the
rates on the reservoir supply. In
this connection the following from
the resolution was adopted explains:
Be it resolved. by the Board of
Trustees of the Incorporated Town of
Ordway, that the Water Commission
er OF said town be, and he is hereby
instructed, to collect water rentals
from owners or occupants Of resi-
dents within said town. for the use
of Reservoir water, as follows, to-
wit: When any owner or occupant of
residence property is using Reservoir
water, and has also actually installed
such in residence or premises, Pure
Springs water in addition thereto,
the rate for the use of said Reservoir
water shall be one dollar and twenty
five cents per month, payable quar-
terly in advance; provided however,
that a discount of 20 per cent shall
be allowed, If the full sum due shall
be paid within the first ten days of
such quarter.
This rate to supercede and take the
place of the rate as set forth in Sec
tion Z, of Ordance No. 1O8, and to
take effect on and after October 1st,

Pickle Plant Sailing
Down Its First Cro,1r ,1

Pickles are arriving at the ]. H.
Heinz Co. sailing station here at
lively rate and last weeks run, the
first of the season amounted to 200
bushels. This week the deliveries
will run in the neighborhood OF 500
bushels.
There are about 115 acres in the
Ordway vicinity planted to cucum-
bers and this is distributed between
about thirty-iye growers. Local
Manager r. J. Sternagle states that
fairly good yield is 200 bushels.
That being the case there will be ap-
proximately 10000 bushels of pick
les grown in this immediate vicinity
this season. II the growers can get
them all picked and delivered the re-
ceipts for the harvest will run we'll
up to $4,000. That is a remark
able amount to be received from an
entirely new industry for the first
year.
The growers are generally more in
favor with the crop than they beliey-
ed they would be and one man who
put out an acre as an experiemnt has
already stated that he wished that
he had put in five acres. The har-
vesting OF the crop requires help. 1t
is true, but that part of the work is
not so big an item as some had fig
ured 1t would be. One grower has
half acre and the pickles are picked
by the women folks during the fore
noon when he is doing other work.
At the noon hour he brings them to
the sailing station and has been TAX
ing checks from $3.50 to $3.50 home
with him each day and his crop had
only fairly started.
The Heniz company pays cash for
each delivery. This gives ready mon
ey to the growers and there Is no
waiting until the end Of the season
to know what their crop has done.
The sailing station here consists Of
thirty big sailing tanks and those who

large scale will find 1t an interesting
visit to go to the plant. This fall
when it comes time to ship the pro-
duct to the finishing plants where
the Heinz company will handle them,'
these pickles will be loaded into tank
cars and 1t will require several cars
to haul the fifteen or twenty thous-
and bushels which will be salted down
here. -
The coming of the Heinz company
to this vicinity opens up an entirely
new industry and a new mark ket. The
several thousand dollars paid to the
growers this season, the first year
will. tend to prove pickle growing
profitable line and the acreage next
season will, in all probability, be
heavy.
