great lining has already been laid.
Down to the boring end go the sand
hogs. They pass the other shift

and that's all.
Each crawls to his place out be-
yond the boring steel shield.
The job is to clear the way SO that
this massive machine, operated un-
der tremendous hydraulic pressure,
can cut ahead. But the human sand
hog must dig to clear the way.
Through mud, sand, silt he bur-
rows. Compressed air keeps most of
the water out. But the men at the
bottom of the tube are wallowing in
seepage. They don't seem to mind.
It's all part of their getting ahead.

Shifting sands, slipping boulders,
or heavy blasts don't worry theru.
But coming out of the compressed
air does.
For too hasty decomposition
gives the "bends," a terrible disease
resulting from too much nitrogen in
the blood which bubbles, bubbles,
until something bursts.
Hours after work, they may fall,
reeling like drunken men. A little
disk on the coat lapel tells the story.

go on digging deeper, by inches.
When finally they see light

Vice President, used the following
words in closing his speech of accep-
tance, July 27, 1920:
eve have been taking counsel to-
gethor concerning the welfare OF
America. We have spent much time
discussing the affairs of government
yet most of the great concourse OF
people around me hold no public office,
expect to hold no public office. Still
in solmn truth they are the govern
ment, they are America. We shall
search in vain in legislative halls,
executive mansions, and the chambers
of the judiciary for the greatness OF
the government of our country. We
shall behold there but reflection,
not reality; successful in proportion
to it's accuracy. In free republic a
great government is the product OF a
great people. They will look to
themselves rather than government
for success. The destiny, the great
ness of America lies around the
hearthstone. If thrift and industry
are taught there, and the example OF
self sacrifice oft appears, if honor
abide there, and high ideals, if there
the building of fortune be subordln-
ate to the building of character
America will live in security, reJoic-
ing in an abundant prosperity and
good government at home, and in
peace, confidence and respect abroad.
If these virtues be absent there is no
power that can supply these bless
ings. Look well then to the hearth
stone, therein all hope for America
