all generations that follow. Ali Bey was

The campaign TO make Augusta a
center OF Names winter sports will
receive a tremendous impetus with
the opening within n few days of the
new ski jump in Ganeston Park.
Augustus need for a ski jump has
been apparent since winter sports
began to grow i'll popularity in the
Capital City and the logical place TO-
it was obviously i'll Ganeston Park,
as a companion building to the now
nationally famous Norwegian Sport
House and toboggan slide.
The opportunity to help in a great
civic project appealed to w. n. Can
nett, who volunteered to build a ski
jump in his park and to allow it TO
be used for Augustus winter carnf|
walls.
The average ski-jump is, however
a gaunt, ungainly, spindley sort of
building. of no use except during the
ski jumping season and of no beauty
at any time.
So. instead Of building n regular
ki-iump Mr. Gannett decided 20
combine it with q project he had long
had Of erecting windmill BY
combining the two projects build
ing could he built which would be
windmill and Vet would run off a the

back and down the hill into a trc-
mcndOus ski jump.
To secure a suitable model for an
artistic windmill seemed 4 problem
until Mr.. Gannett recalled a small
toy model of the famous Province
town wndmills which he had once
bought. With this tiny toy as
model handsome windmill was de-
signed-an exact duplicate of the odd
Puritan windmillS at PrONincetoWn,
which in turn bore striking rcsem-
blance to the Dutch wndmills Of two
centuries ago.
AS the windmill jump began 70
take shape Mr.. Gannett hit upon an
other idea The enormous sweeps
suggested the thought of a Ferris
Wheel Why not hang chairs from
the four arms and let people ride in
them through the giant circle made
by the wheels in their fight
The idea of pleasure WhcCI' was
no sooner conceived than plans ere
made TO put it into execution. The
huge steel shaft on which the wheel
will turn was connected up, through
a big reduction gear with an cleo
tIic motor capable Of turning til"
wheel. The shaft being equipped
with Il powerful brake. Tho electric

motor can be disconnected, also. ana
the wheels allowed to turn of their
own weight, so that if anything hap
pens to the machinery the wheel can
be unloaded with little effort. The
driving mechanism is SO arranged
also that when there is wind enough
to turn the wheel the propellng force
will be the wind. and not electricity.
At such times the brake viii serve
If the wind is boisterous, TO keep the
wheel moving at safe and decorous
speed.
Within the building are several
rooms. two of them large enough for
storage of hay, straw, etc. on a large
scale.
Little idea Of The size of the build
ing can be gained from the picture.
The building itself has a ridge pole
Of Al feet above the ground, caller
than q three story house,, while the
arm of the windmill extends to Il
point almost fifty feet above ground.
The slide itself extends - feet. with
a drop of > inches in every i. With
. slide of such length and pitch the
ski jumpers will attain a tremendous
speed before they reach the takc-off
ana viii soar out into the air for
their pcriInus and sensational jumps.
The ski jumping building is located
between Howard Hall and the Nor
Wegian Sports House and faces ap-
proXimately north. SO that from the
rear til" slli-jump extends away
down hill toward the south giving
a wonderful place to land after the
tremendous journey through the ait.
The workmcn are busily engaged
now in hanging the arms, building
the fans and the chairs which VIII
swing from the arms. Within a few
days the first trial trip of the pleas
ure wheel will be made.
1t is planned, when the carnival
is in progress. to make the ski

he considered at this session are:
First, the problem of fairness to the

over the matter of a common Ian
guage, and while not going so far -
to suggest laws to prohibit the use
of foreign tongue, advocated that
the use Of the English language be
encouraged as much as possible.
The committee will cooperate with
DR.. A. 0. Thomas, State superinten-

eradicating illiteracy over a five

report of DR.. Thomas it was shown
that there are 35S illiterates in Au-
