The Beaver.

A family that figures prominently
IN the annals OF New York owes the
origin of its great wealth to a hum
bic but Industrious rodent, the beaver.
The same rodent has conferred its
name upon a downtown street in that
city. There survives the tradition OF
a Beaver brook that once meandered
Its picturesque way through what is
now the downtown section.
But the beaver himself is a van
iShed species in this country. The
beavers that inhabit the little ponds
In the geological gardens are immi-
grants from Canada.
In these restricted areas, surround
ed by high wire fences. these citizens
by adoption are as busy as were their
ancestors who once ranged along
the streams that watered the woods.

NEWS ABOUT THE VICTORY
HIGHWAY

Topeka, Kansas, February For
many years Denver, Colorado, has
been a terminus of automobile tours,
rather than a way station of trans
continental motor travel. With the
acceptance and endorsement of the
Victory Highway by the Denver Civic
and Commercial Association and by
the Denver Tourist and Publicity Blu
reau, that city now becomes a stop
ping point for many automobile tour
lists who are making the journey from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The Victory Highway, running
from New York City to San Francisco
goes by way of Denver. The civic
agencies of that city named, have
promised their cooperation in con-
tinuing the success of that highway.
The Denver organizations recon-
mended for appointment as a state
director of The Victory Highway As
ISOLATION for Colorado, ]. E. Zahn,
Vice-President of the United States
Portland Cement Company. They
have also appointed committees to CO.
operate with the association in devils
ing plans for routing all east and west
bound traffic over the Nations mem
orial highway.
Tourists, instead of making Den
yer the terminus of a side trip, will
now pass through that city on their
way from coast to coast, and the civil
agencies will provide them with in
formation and accommodation for the
entire route.
It is the purpose of Mr.. Zahn, re-
presenting the interests of Colorado
in The Victory Highway Association,
to make of Denver, a mid-continent
clearing house of information for
tourists, and to maintain there a sup
ply of literature describing towns and
localities along the entire length of
the Victory Highway.

Making the Hammer Safer.

The hammer Is a useful tool, but its
use Is not quite free from danger TO
the user ar from injury to materials
The nat. highly polished surface is
likely To glance on the nail unless the
blow is squarely delivered; and when
the nail * OF cast metal, its head
often flies on and lnficts quite severe
injuries.
One firm had innumerable accidents
from this cause. and some OF the men
were permanently injured. ThereupOn,
the managers tried hammer heads with
scored faces as an experiment, and
owing To the success or the expert
ment, the polished faced hammer has
been abolished In that firms factory,
except for special classes OF work.
When the hammers face Is scored
or rOughened IL is very much less
likely tn glance on the nail head. The
fact that this type OF hammer has
proved 81 cOnspicuOusly successful and
safe, has encouraged many manufac-
turers To place it on the market.

Of All Methods, the Lowering of a
Miners Safety Lamp Is Acknowl-
edged to BE Safest.

Raising and lowering q bucket sew

mine fresh air from the surface, is
common practice. Methane may be
expected in abandoned shafts or pits

ceOus states, or where a heavily tim
bered shaft is partly filed with wa

the descent can be considered reason
ably safe. When no safety lamp Is
available, and it is necessary TO test
with an open light, care should be
taken to Immediately withdraw all
persons In close proximity TO the shaft
or pit as there may be an explosion.
Generally. there is no physiological
warning of oxygen deficiency in the
air. The first decided feeling is one of
extreme weakness accompanied by dlZ-
zinesS, better described as partial
paralysis. and the victim collapses
practically without warning. To guard
against this danger. a man should not
enter old workings without having n
rope tied around his body and at least
two men on the top. The rope should
be kept taut. Then If a distress signal
is given. the explorer will not only be
prevented from falling, but can be
quickly pulled Ia fresh air and his life

KANSAS STATE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE
Uncle Sam Phases Disabled Veteran.
on Kansas Farms

Manhattan, Kansas, February T.
To put partly disabled war veterans
on farms where they may provide
themselves with a living while gaining
both practical experience and scien-
tific training in agriculture, and to
establish them permanently and in
dependently in the farming business
IS the plan of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College in its cooperative
work with the United States Vet
Grams Bureau.
The Agricultural College and the
Veterans Bureau plan to put about
a dozen men on Kansas Farms this
year. The first one to be so establish
ed was Fred Parrish, who was a Fed
eral Board Student at the College
the first term. He went on a Frank
lin County farm last week.
Specialists from the Veterans
Bureau and the College have made a
survey of the farm and made sugges-
tions for its operation. Extension
specialists will give assistance in
their own lines of work.
The farmer is required to follow
their instructions and to make reports
to them regularly. The specialists
will make three or four visits to the
farm year and keep in constant
touch with the farmer through the
county agent. The farmer will re-
ceive the same allowance for one year
that he would have received had he
stayed in school.
This plan will supercede in a few
cases the one of sending the Federal
Board men to an agricultural school
The old plan was not entirely salts
factory for some of the older men
who had never had high school train
ing. 1t is believed that the practical
experience, supplemented by the in
struction of extension specialists, will
be of more value to such men than
the class room work.

Made By Jazz King
 In 5 Years
RY RoY GIBBONS

CHICAGO. June 19.-"Blow your own horn, sonny, and blow it hard!"
 This was the advice tae towns rich est citizen in Adrian, Mich, gave. to Isham Jones 12 years ago.
 Jones had gone to the moneybags asking the formula for short cut to great wealth.
 Today Jones. owns palatiaI home and fleet of automobiles and has servntIs and all the trappings of wealth And his bank account is swelling so fast that he can hardly keep track of it.
 Simple" says Jones. 'I blow my own horn-lmean my saxaphOne."
 To the world of music Jones is what Charlie Chaplin is to the film.
 His nickname is King Ooompah."
 That's because he's. probably the higest paid jazz orchestra leader in the country.
 A loop hotel here pays him $3500 a week to play in it's restaurant two hours an evening.
 Monograph companies are clamor- ing for his services to make jazz rec ords for them.
 During the last five years Jones duu Alo SdAdpAOH6 nave dCCuuiuIdbSu over $800,000 in salary and royalties from his compositions and photograph records.
 And the jazz king is only 2S.
 Members of his orchestra have grown prosperous with him.
 Jones is a big strapping fellow and looks entirely unlike musician. Usually after each performance Jones takes in the town with his wife. Jones spends with the Prodigality of ago, tipping with bills of large denom- inatfon. But there's method in his madness. for thus he keeps attuned to the spirit of jazz.
 Jones goes to work in his specially designed limousine. The driver wears a mOuse-colored uniform to match the color scheme of the car.
 A pocket has been built into the auto to hold Jones saxaphone.
 Frequently he uses his orchestra to raise charitable funds.
 Folks say King Jazz" has a heart as large as a piano.
