STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
 TELLS OF OFFICIALS POWER

"Our town authorities will not spend the money necessary to secure proper conditions. Citizens are un- willing to obey health orders when the abatement of the nuisance would re- qulre a money expenditure. What can we do about it?"
 This is query that often reaches the State Board of Health. The me- thod of securing the abatement of nu- isances and conditions that menace public health are simple and direct. Full control of the matter lies with the County Board of Health and in incorporated cities, with the local health board.
 Paragraph 4376 of the Civil Code gives the Board. of Health power to take any steps it may deem necessary to abate public nuisance.
 Paragraph 3S3 of the Penal Code defines public nuisance as anything that is injurious to health, or is in decent, or offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of pro- perty, or interferes with the comfor- table enjoyment of life or property by any considerable number of per sons.
 Paragraph 387 of the Penal Code makes it misdemeanor, punishable with fine and imprisonment, if any owner fails to put his property in healthful condition, when ordered to do so by the Board of Health. Par agraph 4786 of the Civil Code fixes the punishment for failure to obey an order of the Board of Health at $100 fine or 30 days imprisonment or both.
 Paragraph 1885,, 1889, 439O and 4391 give full power. to the local Health Officer, acting for the Board of Health to take all steps necessary to destroy or remove or prevent the source of trouble and if the owner of the property fails to act when ordered to do so, he may be arrested and the Health Officer may have the work done, and the expenses incurred must be paid by "such owner or occupant or by such persons as has caused or permitted the nuisance"
 "Usually, it is enough for the Health Officer to notify an offender that certain nuisance must be abat- ed," says the State Board of Health. "Where the offender fails to obey promptly, the Health Officer should have the County or City Attorney or

HIGHEST H0N0Rs PAID POET
Men of Every Walk in Life In Proees- sion That Followed Robert
 Burns to Grave.

Robert Burns died at Dumfries, Thursday, July q, 1796, at the age of 37. Sunday evening, July A, the body was carried to the Trades hall, In the High street, and from there, on Monday, July 25, 1t was borne to the churchyard of, St. Michael's. The poet was buried with military honOrs. Sol diers lined the streets and a firing party, with arms reversed, marched first. The coffin was carried on the shoulders of the poets brother volun- teers. To the music of the Dead March in Saul" the long procession walked down the High street of Dum- fries and along St. Michael street to the churchyard. The soldiers who took part in the funeral were the Gentle men Volunteers of Dumfries, to which the poet belonged; the Fencible in- fantry of Angusshire and the regi- ment of cavalry of the Cinque Ports. The two latter bodies were at that time quartered in Dumfries, and of- fered their assistance. Among the junior officers of the Cinque Ports regiment was the Hon. Robert Bank Jenkinson, afterwards the second earl of Liverpool and prime minister of Great Britain from 1912 to 1927. The principal inhabitants of Dumfries and the surrounding countryside walked in the procession and a vast concourse of people witnessed the funeral.

PLAN FOR ROCKETS TO EXPLORE ETHER

der is to be accomplished is nothing more mysterious than a rocket; rocket scientifically designed, of course, extraordinarily efficient mechanically, but still intimately related to the fa- miliar paper cartridge that swishes it's comet-like tail of sparks through the night air of Independence Day. Upon this simple mechanism, Prof. Robert H. Goddard, of Clark College, Worcester, Mass, has turned the en- gineering care that might be devoted to the design of steam turbine.
 To design so remarkable machine is in itself a noteworthy accomplish. ment. But the really startling feature of the new rocket is still more ingen- ious. The perfected instrument will be a repeating rocket. It vii con tain series of powder charges that will explode in relay, each ignited in turn just as the preceding charge is exhausted. Then the height which the whole machine can reach is found by simply adding the attitudes to which each charge will carry it from the point of the explosion. There IS no guesswork about this computation. Figuring fixed weight of one pound for the recording instruments car ried, it is calculated that an initial weight of only 3.6 lb., including rocket shell and charges, will lift the whole equipment to height of practically 35 miles; 5.1 ID. would carry it up over 70 miles; GA lb., 115 miles; 9.o h., over 23O miles and 12.3 lb., nearly 438 miles.
 As already seen in the hypothetical bombardment of the moon, the new apparatus lends itself to speculation. The inventor himself has mentioned merely as a distant possibility, its use for taking photographs in space, em- ploying light-sensitive cells to actuate the shutter. But there is little need to invent further uses for the equip ment, for it's power to familiarize science with atmospheric conditions, not only in the remote attitudes, but at all levels, high and low, is sut- ficiently important to place meteor ology upon an entirely new footing.

KEEP A HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
Practically Impossible to Run Homo Without Employment of Good
 Business Methods.

It must be admitted that business system Is desirable in the home, for the very good and simple reason that manifestly you cannot carry on sue cessfully any kind of business without more or less bookkeeping, writes Carl Marshall in Thrift. But often you will hear some easy-going housekeeper say: That's too much trouble; I have enough other things to do without bothering with accounts. Besides, what's the use? It costs you just so much to live anyway, and keeping ac- counts won't make the amount any less."
 Lazy or inefficient folk are seldom at loss for self-justification of this sort. Some of us can remember the old fashioned country storekeeper who used to spend most of his time sitting on box whittling or gossiping with the loafers when he should have been studying his business. This cheerful soul held the same views as the slack housekeeper.
 But we do not see much more of this old-fashioned, happy-go-lucky country merchant. He has long ago been put out of business by his enter prising competitor who learned the value of good bookkeeping.
 The answer to those who would shirk home account-keeping is simply this: You cannot plan your affairs with any certainty unless you know about them, and you cannot know about them unless you keep records of them.

A third dimension, an entirely new direction, has just been added to mans range of exploration. Now it is go- ing to be possible to establish physi- cal contact with whatever it may be that lies straight up, in the highest strata of earth's atmospheric ocean and beyond. Any radical line of the globe may become the pathway to new scientific records-a pathway continued as far as the investigator cares to pursue it. So powerful, in deed, is the new instrument of ascen- sion, that it's projection to the very disk of the moon is declared within the limits of reasonable speculation, if anything were to be gained by so spec tacular an effort.
 However glibly students may speak of astronomical distances, actual hu- man experience, so far, has practically been debarred from the vertical plane The "farthest up" of physical attain ment is a bare six miles, and that only for a brief and breathless per iod. The highest altitude ever eX- plored, with an ingenious arrange ment of recording instruments on a free balloon, does not exceed "A miles "a mere commuters morning jaunt. The upper reaches of the atmosphere remain today unexplored, actually less known than the deepest soundings of the seas. The science of meteorology, and all the other sciences that wat upon it, are limited to mere film upon the earth's serface.
 Whether or not the time will ever come when man can travel as far straight up as he may go horizontal ly in days journey, is question that has now become immaterial. All the facts traveller in that strange direction could gather have become suddenly available. The instruments for recording these facts may be sent up to the very point wher air dis solves into space. They may go even farther than that, farther than the influence of gravitation extends, If there were any way of getting then back.
 The instrument by which this won

the local Justice of the Peace issue a complaint explaining what steps must be taken to abate the nnuisance, this complaint should be served on the proper party. Usually it is better to serve the owner. If he cannot be readily reached, the occupant or the person who has caused the nuisance may be held.
 If the nuisance is not abated as the health officer directs, he may take any steps necessary and charge same to the owner of the property or the person responsible for the trouble.

PLAN UNIQUE FOREST SYSTEM
New Workers Aim to Make County One
Continuous Park, and Have the
Trees Pay Taxes.

To make the loafing acre work is
the plan of Otsego county, New York,
which has started campaign to plant
a forest Of 100 acres on the waste
lands in each of the "A townships of
that county.
The plans, says the New York Times,
are to develop county system similar
to the city park PLAN with Its har-
monized system of connecting boule-
wards. The project involves the de-
velopment Of comprehensive highway
system.
The forests will be located, so that
they will serve as green nature sign
boards along the highways, to adver-
tise to theV world that the county has
It's own forests. owned, planted and
maintained by the public for the fu-
ture generations.
AS the trees mature they will pro-
vide in the future an income which
win mean an actual cash return to
serve as an Offset against taxation.
European towns often pay the cost of
operation Of their government from
their forests, having no taxes, but this
requires greater area of forest than
is proposed for Otsego.

more or less ability.
It took Safro one round to feel out
his opponent and In the second stanza
he waded in and in a short time had
the Unknown at his mercy and clearly
knocked him out in the second.
Fargo fight fans want their moneys
worth and howled for more. They
wanted more than a knock out; they
were anxious for murder. 1t didn't
particularly matter to them which
fighter was killed, they wanted action.
To satisfy the crowd the manage

in the ring. In fact Safro was told ne

Safro was furious to think that there
was a chance Of being beaten out OF
his end of the purse and after the
