BLAME ANCESTORS FOR COLDS
Descendants of Forest Dweliers In
herlt Susceptibility to Drafts,
II Is Asserted

DO drafts bother you more than 9th
or people? If so, you probably have
German blood In your veins. This
opinion Is advanced by Herr Prof.
Doltor Tn. Zell, according TO the Vos-
sische Zeitung.
Doctor Zell says that certain species
Of animals exhibit evident dislike for
drafts and that such beasts naturally
live in forests and sheltered places.
Conversely, animals whose natural
habitat is an open space are content
when breezes blow. Hence horse
lets the wind smooth his coat while
monkeys and balloons shun such ex-
periences.
The professor in conclusion asks,
as IL then n wonder that the Ger
mans, who in earlier centuries lived In
wooded regions. are still today more
susceptible to drafts than other peo-
pies who come from treeless ceun-
tries;'
An evident objection to this opinion
as the explanation of sensitiveness to
drafts is that the ancestors of all men
lived in forests. although some races
migrated earlier than others and
therefore ii may be presumed lost
their ancestral susceptibility to drafts
earlier

The Cliff OWeIIers.

Clif-dwellers is the name OF race
OF Indians, formerly living In the cliffs
bordering on the valleys OF the Rio
Grande and Rio Colorado. Their homes
were built In the recesSes of the cliffs
at n height often Of several hundred
feet from the ground, and ut the pres
ent time seemingly inaccessible, as the
former paths that led TO them nearly
all have been destroyed by the crum-
bling away of the rocks. The dwellings
sometimes consisted OF many rooms,
and in some cases were two. or more,
stories high, hewn in the rock. with
wooden llntels In the doors and win.
dows, which were probably closed
with skins or blankets. The walls were
finished with n plaster of clay. How
the inhabitants subsisted is not known.
but probably mainly by hunting and
fishing, as the soil about these locali-
ties was barren. The Pueblo Indians,
who still are found in that section.
are thought TO be descendants Of the
cliffdwellers. They possess consider
able skill in making articles Of pot
terry and the like.

GREAT POWER OF PRESIDENT
United States Chief Executive "Most
Potent Constitutional Function
airy in the World"

The legal functions of the Presi-
dents office nre so eminent that he
cannot escape the responsibilities Of
executive action, however much he
may be inclined TO avoid them. His
constitutional powers alone make him
the pivot upon which all the admins
trative machinery operates.
He appoints the heads of depart
ments and may direct their major pol
icies His power OF appointment 10
all the greater offices is far reaching.
He can recommend, shape and veto
legislation. His control over foreign
affairs is virtually complete. He is
commander in chief of the army and
the navy. In short, he is the most
potent constitutional functionary in
the world.
All these constitutional powers have
been vastly augmented by practice
and custom. The President today can
do innumerable things that George
Washington or Thomas jefferson
would never have dared DO even If
they had thought Of them.
The constitutional conception of the
President is that of a chief executive
an administrator custom has added
To this conception that Of leadership
of nitiatlon.-Samuel +. Orth in the
Yale Review.

Clunq to the Foothills.

Humanity in its settlements has
never cared for the high mountains
or their valleys. But the races OF
men have ever been well disposed TO
snuggle up close to the foothills.
The modern cities have been built
beside great rivers on the fiat lands,
but In Biblical times cities were
founded upon rocks In the lower hills ;
and where no hills existed, as in the
Mesopotamia valley. the Assyrians
built huge brick platform in imita-
ton OF fiat hill, and reared their
city upon that. Athens was built upon
and about the Acropolis. the Areo-
pagus, and the limestone heights be-
tween Cephissus and llissus. Rome
and Constantinople are both builded
on their seven hills, and the hills
around about Jerusalem are famous

With the person who thinks about

II is used. For exception cannot prove
a rule. Indeed, every bona fide ex-

II is a change I'm the connotation
Of saying. "Prove all things" and so
responsible for its present misuse.
For I'm the early days of the English
language prove meant test" as
when st. Paul said prove all things"
And so when it was said that the ex-

nothing Illogical about 1t. Exceptions
do put rule to test. Either they

country, in many places of volcanic
ash as light as flour. AS fast as cuts
are opened up and fills made In this
light soil the wind whips out the fill
slopes and sand dunes creep into rock
cuts, completely blocking the road.
Oil is the only agency yet found 10
stop the trouble. The equipment used
10 spray the crude oil consists OF two
supply tanks, or drums. I'm which the
oil is carried from the storage tank
at the railway siding. and a tractor,
which draws the oiling rig and sup
plies the steam through hose 10 the
compressor tank, which is carried on

steam and forced through hose with
a nozzle consisting of a half-inch pipe.
The steam atomzes the oil and sends
it in a fine spray for 100 feet or more,
depending on whether the spray is
projected In the direction of the wind
or against IT. For obvious reasons.
spraying is usually carried on In the
direction Of the wind.
Where sufficient oil is used this

Is very effective, and IL is believed
