BUILDERS GUIDED by MODEL
Ingenious Method Employed in the
Construction of Hydro-eiectric
Plant In Switzerland.

In planning the mixing, and chuting
plant for the construction of the bar
rage de barberine, u hydro-electric de-
velopment in Switzerland, it was found
that many Of the engineering difficult
ties would be solved through building
an exact model Of the site and then
erecting the plant to scale. A contour
map had fortunately been furnished
the American firm, and with this as a
guide the contour of the ground was
reproduced in clay. Then the towers,
guy lines, cables and chutes were all
built to scale and placed in the exact
positions that they were destined to
occupy. Il
When this model vas finished 1t
helped wonderfully in solving the prob
lens that had puzzled the craftsmen
The clearance required by a galloway

single or double guy lines, the bracing
Of the towers-these and many other
points were made clear through the
use Of the accurate model. There WIS
also the satisfaction Of knowing that
when the plant was finally installed
the layout would be correct and the
plant would function properly.-George

A member of the Horace Mann troop

the invalid an associate scout. The
doctor has said that young Murray
must practically live out of doors next
summer and the boy thinks that that
is the best possible chance for him
to practice scouting.

Are the PIeiades DINNER?

The question presents itself whether
three stars of the constellation of the
Pleiades have less brilliancy than for
merly, or whether prehistoric man had
a better, sight than ours, riff he was
won't to climb up the mountains to ex-
anime the nearest stars, or If the at
mosphere Of past ages was purer than
ours?
This problem arises from the fact
that we see from below only seven of
the stars of the Pleiades and that the
last three stars can only be seen by
ascending to the highest submits,
while there have just been discovered
stones dating from prehistoric times
upon which the ten stars are engraved.

omy and archaeology has been bro;lched

He brought the shadow ten degrees

It is a curious fact, first pointed out
by Nonez, tie famous cosmographer
and mathematician Of the Sixteenth
century, that by fitting a sun dial
through the proper angle the shadows,
at certain periods of the year, can be
made, for short time, to move back

FRIDAY, JUNE is, 1922
The Coal Situation.

The coal situation is not serious yet.
There is a sufficient amount in the deal
ers' yards to take care of the country
for some time to come. If, however,
the strike is not settled within thirty
days, there will be different story to
tell. The summer months must pro-
vide the coal supply which is going to
take care of the Northwest during the
coming winter. This supply must come
in vessels over the lakes, and the trans
portation must be made during the open
season. This coal should be in process
of movement now from the docks in the
east to the ports on the great lakes.
Mr.. Hoover is endeavoring to get the
producers and dealers to treat the sit
uation on an emergency basis by get
ting their consent to minimum charge
for household fuel. The coal companies
are slow to fall in line, showing reluc-
lance in giving up the profteering fig
ures charged and coming down to a
level where the public welfare is con-
sidered. The matter has been brought
up on the floor of the u. S. senate and
senators from the West and Northwest,
among them Sen. Lenroot of Wisconsin,
have warned the operators, dealers and
the public that if the strike is not
speedily settled, the government may
be obliged to take over sufficient
number of mines and operate them in
order to save the people from freezing
and from profteering prices.
While the strike is but mildly dis
cussed, and a settlement of it is uncer-
tain, the representatives of the Ameri-
can people in congress and in the ex-
ecutive department of the government
have the solemn duty to see to it that
the American people, in the midst OF
an unlimited supply of COAL stored in
the ground, do not suffer in comfort,
health or wealth because there is a
quarrel between the mine owners and
the miners unions. If the arm of the
u. S. government is not strong enough
to remedy such a situation, it is time
that the American people make it
strong enough to protect them against
the calamities of coal famine, and if
they have the power and do not in an
emergency of this kind use it to relieve
the need of the people, they are un-
worthy of their high Office and should
yield their places to men willing and
capable to serve the nation better.
