BUILD N LET BUILD

AS far back as history begins, there have been persons who
have stood in the way of progress, some for reasons mercenary,
others because of a real lack of vision or natural narrow tenden-
cies.
1t is a matter of record that the builders of the ancient
cities and public monuments, some of which still exist were
met by hundreds of obstacles placed in their way by visionless
men, who did not have the future interests of their communities
and the world at heart.
This same condition may be applied to our own community
today. We see opposition to things which would expedite bust
ness or cause an economic improvement or would in humantys
sake afford protection against sickness or the killing of hundreds
of motorists or pedestrians. Here there should be no room for
the obstructionist. Cody is building pages of history and there
should be nothing at this time to hamper its progress.
The truly great men of all time is the builder, the one who
produces or helps to produce. The parasite, who does nothing
for himself or fell ow man is a cheat and the one who inter-
feres with progress is little better. Build and let build" should
be our motto and the future will comfortably arrange itself.
There are many things to be considered in the building up of a
community. Ten men can do more than one and when these
10 men are arranged in team formation, their work can not
only count much more than 10 times but, in fact, 20 times as
much.

KEEPING WELL
CARBON
DEATHS
DIR. FREDERICK H. GREEN
Editor OF "HEALTH0

EVIDENCE of the danger of carbon
IL monoxide continues to accumulate.
Almost every morning paper tells of
at least one case of death from auto
mobile exhaust gas. The United
States public health service has issued
a special bulletin on the subject.
Many state and city health depart
ments AVE warned the public Of this
danger. Yet needless n p%reventable
deaths still occur.
E,eryone VINO owns or drives an au-
tomobile or auto truck should know
that any internatcombustion engine,
In burning gasoline. generates and
throws off a poisonous gas. carbon
monoxide, which will kill anyone ex-
posed to 1t in g few minutes. If the
carburetor is properly adjusted and
the combustion of the gasoline is COM
plete, there is less gas given off and
SO less danger.
But II the carburetor Is not prop
erly adjusted or If the mixture fed
to the machine is too 'rlch," then
more gas is generated with greater
risk.
In the open air, with u wind blow
ing, the gas is blown away before 1t
can do any harm. But even outdoors
no n should crawl under a car In
which the engine is running and the
exhaust open.
In a closed space, such as a garage,
the engine Of a car will generate
enough gas to overcome one in a few
minutes. Engines should never be al
lowed to run in a garage, unless the
doors and windows are open enough
to get a through-and-through draft to
carry out the gas.
Carbon monoxide is produced in
other ways than by gasoline engines.
Most of the cases of gas poisoning in
this country, at least in previous
years, are due to 1ueless gas stoves,
gas CRATES and gas heaters without
drafts. Gas hot-plates and cooking
stoves used in rooming houses, gas
water heaters in bathrooms and the
so-oalled radiant heaters" are the
most dangerous.
In Ohio alone, in the winter of
1929, carbon monoxide poisoning
caused 81 deaths of which AZ were due
to gas heaters.
AAy gus uedter OF COOKING stove
should have a flue of some kind to
carry of the gas that is produced by
combustion. Water heaters in bath
rooms are particularly dangerous on
account Of the small size of the rooms
and the fact that the doors and win
dows are usually kept tightly closed
while the heater is running. A water
heater can generate enough gas In Is
minutes to cause ~suffocation.
Carbon monoxide is colorless. taste
less and odorless. Don't run any kind
of a gasoline engine or gas stove In

GOOD NATURE IN MOTORING

Now that the number of automobiles on the streets has
doubled within a few years, the jams at many congested spots
have become very irritating to many people who use cars.
Some folk of an impatient disposition seem to lose all self
control Their lack of a spirit of good-natured acceptance of
these conditions causes many accidents.
If they fall in behind a line of cars on some highway,
they can not wait for a good chance to pass ahead, but they
will do so. on curves or at various unsuitable places. Then
some car unexpectedly appears and there may be a smash.
People are not fit to drive automobiles through crowded towns
and on congested roads unless they have a certain calm
spirit of philosophy that is willing to wait for its proper turn,
and which is not irritated by delays of some seconds or minutes.
The old proverb said that the patient waiter is no loser" and it
driving.

what can you expect when one of

The fact is Brother Coons is a
very loyal Democrat and he can
see no good in a Republican adj

state is enjoying very favorable

Near the bodies was found com

Ceorgia's Famous Peak Out
cropping of Granite Range.

Atlanta, Ga.-"How come Stone
mountain"
This question has puzzled biologists
ever since there have been any geolO-
gists to puzzle about Stone mountain.
Many explanations have been Of
fered for the existence of the now IA
nous granite monadnock, which rises
suddenly out of a fertile country
around it. The one most favored is
that sometime along fifty to seventy
five million years ago, there was an
upheaval in this land, at which time
Stone mountain and the Appalachian
mountains and other eastern wonder
rocks were thrust up.
But Stone mountain, on which Is
being carved the Confederate memo
rial, is not all just out there in wide
open DeKalb county. That's only
where i, shows itself.
1t ext nds under most of the remain
der of Georgia and some parts of
South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama
and Florida.
At the place where Stone mountain
seems to meet ordinary earth it be-
gins sloping descent into the under
meath of Georgia. At Macon, about
100 miles southwest of Stone noun
tain, the granite bedrock is reached
at about 400 feet DR.. S. w. McCallie,
Georgia state geologist, says that when
the granite. is struck person might
as well stop, because a drill would go
ION to China"
Stone mountain will not last forever,
declare biologists. There is a devas-
tating force which.is diminishing, rap
idly as such things go, the size of the
mountain. This force is called eXfolia-
ton.
Once Hundred Times Present Size.
When the mountain came into being
it covered probably 100 times its pres
ent size, as evidenced by the numer-
GUS OutcrOpS of the same rock extend
ing over a belt several miles in width.
At this rate of shrinkage, biologists
compute that in another 5O,0000O0
years there will not be any Stone
mountain.
At present Stone mountain rises CSC
feet above the ground and includes 5G3
acres of exposed granite mass. In
this mass there are 1913, 750,950 cubic
feet. There are about II cubic feet
of granite to the ton, making the mass
weigh in the neighborhood of 62S,645,-
Oil tons.
Since about 1865 Stone mountain
granite has been used extensively in
building as well as paving.
