Speed Of Passenger Elevators.

The Office Of public buildings and
grounds says that the elevator in the
Washington monument makes 100 feet
a minute. AS the elevator shaft in the
monument Is 500 feet high, it makes
this distance In five minutes. The two
elevators in the Woolworth building
which operate from the ground to the
fifty-fourth floor rise 100 feet in one
minute and these are the highest rise
and fastest travelling elevators in the
world. Although elevator service Is
provided in the Eiffel tower, Paris, to
a height Of nearly 1000 feet, three lifts
must be used to reach the top, the
highest rise of single lift being about
45O feet.

Spread of Health Service.

Surgeon General Cumming of the
United States public health service
makes direct appeal when he says
1.-THE crying need OF the country is
better organization OF health work in
the rural communities. A survey male
by the United States public health
service two years ago showed that
Only 3 per cent of our rural districts
had adequate health organization. II
Is a pleasure to announce that TINS
number has increased during the last
two wears from 3 to 6 per cent?"

Moths and Mlmlcry.

In some large quarries in Argentina
1t has been observed that certain
species of night-nying moths frequents
these places during the day to rest.
The moths lie fiat against the rocks,
which they match perfectly in color,
and are practically invisible. This in
stance Is peculiar by reason Of the fact
that these quarries contain a colored
stone which is unknown elsewhere,
and the further fact that 1t is less
than hundred years since the quar-
Eiss were misunderstanding American.

Marine turtles lay their eggs on dry

Worry a Factor In Disease.

1t Is probably true that more people
are crippled or weakened by the fear
of disease than by the disease itself, In
the opinion Of the medical correspond
ent of the London Times. Worry is a
grave factor in disease. The answer is.
Of course, don't fear disease and don't
worry. For If one does not fear
disease and does not worry, he stands
far better chance Of avoiding and
overcoming ailments than II he does
both those useless and facilitating
things.

Pays to Keep on Going.

LIES like a race. To win you must
keep on going. The fellow who looks
around to see what the grandstand
thinks, is going to slow up enough to
give him chance to see others go by.
It's the feeling that inspires cuss
words. While the race Is often to the

fellow who just keeps on going. He's
bound to win who isn't affected by the
changes of the weather or regulated

Secret Of Terror.

A physician tells the New York
Times story to illustrate the fear Of
disease. A great novelist once went
to consult famous heart specialist
about a pain which was causing him
grave anxiety. Before he came the
doctor took occasion to read one of his
stories which dealt with terror of a
child In the dark night. The doctor
asked the novelist this question: why
did you omit to describe what 1t was
the child sawf' ''Ah," said the other,
that is my craft. The child did not
know what it saw. l would not have
the reader know, either. The secret Of
terror is mystery"

CURRENT COMMENT

WITHOUT taking one jot or tittle
" from the splcndidly effective work
Of friends Of Black Canyon and the
Idaho congressional delegation in put
ting across the government dam at
Emmett, the fact remains that the one
big determining factor in the final de-
cision was the unanimity Of the set
tiers Of the Emmett irrigation District.
Out Of All votes cast At the election
held April 80, 1921, to approve the
contract, only two votes were cast
against II. Without that practically
unanimous expression It is doubtful II
such speedy action would have result.
cd. Therein lies lesson for the fu-
ture. There are other big problems
TO solve in the district to place 1t on
= sound business basis. To solve these
problems will require the same unan-
unity and cooperation that were fac
tors in the success of the dam nego-
tiations. Personal animosities and
prejudices have been harmful in
the past and will continue to be so in
the future II harbored. Let's forget
them in the interest of the common
good, and in spirit Of harmony and
move forward as a unit
to take up the problems that are now
pressing for solution. To do other
wise Is to invite failure.
