"On the other hand, the new rock

THE time of ascent of the rocket

Aside from money to be used CO.

proved by popular vote and that pro.
vision has been made for voting neXr

the extent Of approximately $314,-
100000. During the present and the
next fiscal year there will be made
available for road Improvement at
least $1,000,0O0,0 700. Certainly few

WASHINGTON, D. CA method
Of sending apparatus to the hitherto
unreached higher layers of the air to
the regions beyond the earth's at
mosphere and even as far as the
moon itself, is described by Prof.
Robert H. Goddard, of Clark college,
in a recent publication for the Smith
sonian institution. The new appa-
ratus is multiple charge high eff
cheney rocket Of an entirely new de-
sign. ........
1.-THE great scientific value of Pro-
fessor Goddard's experiment" says
the announcement, lies in the posi-
bility of sending recording appa-
ratus to moderate and extreme alti-
tudes. The nature of the higher lev
els of the air has for long time
been a subject of much speculation
as to their chemical composition,
temperature, electrical nature, dem
sity, ozone content, etc.
THE highest level that has ever
been reached up to the present time
with recording instruments is about
nineteen miles, accomplished with a
free balloon. AS the earth's atmos-
phere extends some 200 miles out,
there is a great unknown region,
knowledge of which would greatly
benefit science of meteorology.
The balloon with it's recording
apparatus requires several hours to
ascend to its highest altitude, drifts

4 Message
to Skin Sufferers

Perhaps indeed these letters are too
enthusiastic. But if so, may not the
writer's be excused in the knowledge
that they wrote in the ecstasy of re-
lief-in the joy of freedom from
years of suffering?
One thing is sure. Regardless Of
what they said, the spirit of what
they said is unmistakable. 1t rings
true, Joy, relief, gratitude, happi-
ness!
If they have won this feeling, why
not you? If you could but have the
feeling that inspires such letters,
freely written, what would you not
give? What more indeed can you ask?
Well not say that these grateful
correspondents are relieved, healed OF
cured, but we will say that they are
HAPPY AGAIN, after years of pain
and suffering-and that's what D. D.
D. Prescription offers to do for you.
We make no claims. You can draw
far greater confidence and comfort
from what D. D. D. has done through
the past twenty-five years than from
anything we can now say.

BOSTON.-Bosto is preparing to
alter some of its most cherished his
toric features to meet the demands of
modern conditions. Small strips are
to be sliced from Boston Common,
training grounds for troops in Revo-
lutionary days, and arcading of the
tower of the Old South Meeting
House. where the famous tea party"
was Matched, is contemplated. Traf-
fic problems, acute in this city of mar
row Cow lane" streets, in each case
are responsible.
The pairing of the Common on two
sides of it's forty-three-acre area has
been sanctioned only after oVercom-
ing long standing opposition by
those who held that no considerations
of modern development should dis
turb this Revolutionary landmark
and present-day breathing space in
the city's center. Several years ago
the voters turned down proposal
to shrink the Common in order to
swell the streets. But in the recent
city election the voters in all but
two wards declared in favor of widen
ing the streets from Common land.
The two wards which. opposed the
plan are in Charlestown, seat OF
another historic shrine, Bunker Hill
monument.
Boston Common was bought .,
1884 by Governor Winthrop and 9th
ers as a common COW pasture and
training ground, and was one of sew
eral such tracts of communal lands
and planting grounds. Today it is
the sole remainder of these ancient
commons, other holdings having
passed into private hands.
1t was on Boston Common that
Revolutionary soldiers drilled; from
it's limits at Park Square, rnen the

siege of Boston. Colonial expeditions
set out against Louisburg and Que
bee from the old Common, and Mas
sachusetts regiments assembled
there prior to going to the front in
the Civil War.
The proposal to cut into the Old
South Meeting House, which was
built in 1929, to obtain partial relief
from traffic congestion on Washing
ton Street, is still under considera-
ton.
Under the plan the main part of
the church, in which the colonists
worked out schemes for the tea
party and which was later used by
the British as a riding school during
the siege of Boston, would not be dis
turbed. The tower, which juts out
some twenty feet from the front of
the edifice, would be arcaded to pro-
vide a passage for foot traffic.
