Its completion the state and federal

daily observations, have been measur-
ing the effect Of heat. cold, moisture,
and other elements upon Its surface
and nt the subsrade. These observa-
tons have been taken on 63 sections,

This information Is Of the utmost
value. Knowing the conditions Of

ford a means by which proper paving

Why some types Of pavement fail

ARTIFICIAL lakes In their front yards. and
they have been pretty in summer as well

lakes pure and clean. How to DO that

The bottom Is made smaller than

left exposed to the weather. A shell
of Ice soon freezes around the inner
surface. and when the shell Is from
1-2 10 inches thick. hot water Is
poured over the outside Of the can and
the shell removed. A hole Is broken
through at the top OF the shep and
most OF the water inside Is then

Mjstreating the indians.

It is not easy for America to
speak with good grace about other
nations treatment of subject
people. The American Indian lis
always there to smile bit ironical
ly about it.
America has not always played
the game square with the Indians.
Right here and in nearly every
state in the Union are many red
men who can prove it.
The history of the American
Indian is a long story known in
detail to but few. But those few,
whenever they speak of it, become
indignant. So it must be a history
that is not particularly creditable
to the white conquerors.' ..
| Unreliable quantities of words

even to the tribesmen of Hedjaz.
Perhaps here would be another
opportunity to use the slogan
"America First'' and get back to
our own, even when they are our
own inquities.
l.. The few enthusiasts for ':jostice

meet to discuss the Indians and
plan for their welfare deserve
praise and encouragement and
