Look for Big Boom.

Indications are that building activi-
ties will pass the tremendous volume
of last year not only in Kenosha but
over the entire state and country. OFF,
cial reports from building departments
of 329 cities in the United States for
February showed total of $296,087,-
739. In 314 of these places in which
comparisons were available gains of
20 per cent over February of 1923
were shown.
Building material prices increased
somewhat an practically all lines dur
ing February, according to survey.
The rise was especially significant in
the east.

KenOsha's Death
Rate Very Low
Health apartment Records Show That
Rate is S.4Sin Kenosha Against a
Rate of Over 10 for State.

The healthful conditions found in
Kenosha were emphasized by the re-
port of the city health department
which shows that while the average
death rate for the state of Wisconsin
will run more than 10, the death rate
for the city Of Kenosha is 8.4. These
figures are based on population of
$4,000.
The infant death rate, s--A
slightly higher, showing SO deaths for
every 1000 live births registered. The
fact that 45 of these deaths occurred
before the child had reached the age
Of one month, shows that death was
due to some congenital cause, rather
than any cause which might have been
remedied after birth.
The department of public works was
complimented by the health depart
ment for the clearly condition of the
city. The prompt collection of garb-
age and rubbish, it was stated has
had very marked effect upon the
health of the city in general.

owners of oil lands and reported to
have an average per capita income of

an announcement made today by L. E.

Other announcements concerning
the pageant and tourists traffic con-
nected with it made by DIR. Mckenzie
include plans by large number of
cities and towns in northern Wiscon-
sin on principal trunk highways lead
ing to Bayfield, nd vicinity to enlarge
tourists camps to accomm odate larger
number of tourists. These manifesto

highway thirteen north of Kilbourn,
highway fifteen, north of Milwaukee,

igan highways twelve and fifteen west
and northwest of Menomonee, and
Minnesota highway one, north of the
twin cities.
Mr.. Mckenzie estimates the out-of-
town attendance at the pageant at
half million persons. Hotels in
northern Wisconsin are making plans
to increase their Accommodations. The
pageant ground will accommodate 50,-
600 persons at one time. Dates for the
exposition have been extended and the
three-day period outdoor play of Ind

GARRETT P. SERVISS EXPLAINS
PRESSURE OF LIGHT 3.
Force OF Rays Can Be Measured in Tons When
Large Surface Is Exposed

NE Of the chief titles to re-
membrance left by the late
Professor E. r.. Nichols,
stricken with death on, the lecture
platform, with his contribution to
the experimental proof Of the ex-
istence of pressure exerted by
rays Of light upon objects on
which they impinge. From theo-
retical considerations 1t had been
predicted that there must be such
pressure, but only the most deli
cate Experimentation was able to
prove the truth of the prediction
and to measure the amount OF
the pressure.
Yet, when a large surface is
considered, the pressure of light
becomes measurable in pounds
and even in tons. Thus the pres
sure Is calculated at two ana =
half pounds on q square mile, and
at $4,000 tons on the whole earth.

But while the sun 10 thus push
ing the earth with its light.waves
1t Is at the same time pulling It
with the force of gravity, about
47,OOO, OOO, OO0, 900 times as muchl
This looks as though the light
pressure could never have any i'm
portant effect upon the motion OF
the earth around the sun; but
nevertheless there Is only one
thing needed to enable it, slight
as It appears In present circum-
stances, to drive the earth cut
into the depths of interstellar
space.
That one thing is subdivision.
Let the earth's globe be reduced
to fine dust, and the pressure OF
the suns rays would blow It away
like smoke from the muzzle OF
cannon, and that in spite OF the.
fact that the force Of gravity
would continue to act upon the
dust just as it did before upon
the solid globe.
To explain this paradox we
have only to remember that the
attraction OF gravitation acts upon
every particle Of a body from its
surface to its center, or upon its
entire mass, while pressure like
that of iight-waves IL exerted only
upon the surface of the BODY ex-
posed to the waves. In other
words, the force Of gravitation

Hendren Printing Company
Does QaIity Work,

The Hendren Printing Company.
Inc, 465 Century Bldg, succeeds in
TWO respects as it steadily progress
SEES and its business increases. O. H.
Hendren, president Of the company
and active in its conduct, started
out with the intention of producing
printing of good quality, and of
doing it at legitimate prices.
The repeat" customers of the
Hendren company are the firms best
advertisement. The rule of produc-
ing satisfactory work and charging
price that is legitimate is en-
forced on small printing contracts
as well as on large orders. Hendren
is as careful to produce correctly
and satisfactorily a few printed
sheets as he Is in the consumation
of an order that runs into the tens
of thousands.
Another predominating feature Of
the Hendren way of Going printing,
is the service idea that rules the
printing plant.
when we promise to have a job
completed in a certain time said
Mr.. Hendren, we spare no effort to
accomplish just a little more than
we promised. We would rather send
a customer a proof a short time be-
fore he wants it, than to deliver it
to him after the hour that we prom
ised. The same is true of completed
printing jobs, 1t is an important
rule here that work be finished and
delivery made on schedule"
