LOW DAM ON RIVERS BOTTOM
One Was Constructs Across the
Miami to Catch Drifting Sand
and Gravel.

An interesting example Of turning
waste into prcat has been recorded By
q writer in Concrete who tells h5y a
dam was constructed across the Miami
river as q barrier to prevent gravel
from drifting down into the improved
channel through the city Of Hamilton.
o. To overcome the expensive Oper-
alton Of removing the sand and gravel
carried down By the river and hence
prevent the fornsrlOn q troublesome
bars, a low concrete dam was built
across the bottom Of the stream
In commenting On the project the
writer states:
As long a. rivers cO8tinGe to 1OE

sod gravel, especially at times Of bIgn

twenty most beautiful words in the
English language. Thousands Of peo-
pie took part. and John Shea, a law
yer. was declared the winner. OF the
. words submitted by Mr.. Shea, p
we're accepted. The words accepted
were: Melody, splendor, alteration,
eloquence, virtue, innocence, faith,
Joy, honor, radiance, nobility, sympa-
thy, heaven, love. divine, hope, har-
mony, happiness, purity, liberty.
Three words were rejected: Grace"
justice" and truth" The two for
mer were eliminated. 1t was ex-
planned, because Of the harshness of
the "g'' in grace" and the So in

eliminated because of its metallic
sound. Why the words mother" and
home" were not included in the list
will appear somewhat puzzling to
many readers.

Asked Too Much

Jones was a lawyer who was not
particularly bothered about the ethics
OF the profession. Most of the cases
he brought into court were bit shady.
In fact his enemies did not hesitate to
brand him "shyster" and the courts in
which Jones practiced were thoroughly
disgusted with his practices. In one
case In which he was defending a man
with a notorious criminal record he
made an impassloned plea before the
Judge, concluding:
And all / want for my client. your
honor, Is justice. Plain. simple Jus.
tice!"

Judge told him, but the law limits
