HOW ID BUILD AUTOMATIC
 SPLASH CATE BOOMER

Among the greatest aids to hand placer mining, where ground sluicing is desired is the automatic boomer" or splash gate.
 Building boomer is no trick for man handy with carpenters tools. Here is how it is done:
 For boomer carrying volume of water approximately four feet wide by three feet deep, use, preferably inch and half thick 12-inch boards eight feet in length for the sides and bottom These should be supported by at least four studs of two-by-four or four-by-four, being placed at the ends and at equal distances apart on the outside of the box or trough. The bracing for the bottom should extend beyond the width of the floor suf- ficient length to permit of 'toe-nailing" the upright studs, thus guarding against pressure from within bulging the sides and creating an uneven surface. When the bottom is in po- sition in the bed of the stream, which should be turfed to create a smooth bedding and prevent seepage beneath the floor, nail on the sides. Use two- by-fours across the top to hold the sides in position and secure rigidity. Next in order is the splash gate. This gate is made to fit within the trough or body of the boomer, with the sides planed so as to work evenly and smoothly.
 The gate should be nailed to two by-fours placed one foot apart, to make it rigid. Measure off 'one-third of the length of the gate and at this point place four.by-four cross-piece. This is for the rod which acts as a hinge Drive staples into this four by-four, through which the rod is to pass from one side of the box to the other Measure the inside of the box, starting at the floor in front and up- ward and toward the rear end on an angle of 45 degrees. Place the gate into the box, laying it flat, and lift the rear end until the gate stands with the front resting on the floor. Pass a half-inch iron rod through holes bored in the sides of the box, and through the staples. This places one third of the gate in front and two thirds behind the rod. See that the gate is sufficiently tight to admit of TO water leaking along the sides.
 Construct a wing dam from each side of the entrance to the box and carry it to sufficient height to raise the water as high as the rear end of the splash gate; say four feet.
 The pressure of the water on the one-third of the slanting gate holds it at it's normal position of 45 degrees. The water rises until it is ready to pour over the rear end of the gate when it's weight causes the gate to tilt and drop to a horizontal position. Blocks should be nailed inside the rear of the box to catch this drop. The gate drops back to close the entrance to the box as soon as the water falls sufficiently low to tilt the gate back toward it's angular position.
 It is we'll to place a support under the middle of the hinge rod, to prevent sagging. ft

Service to All

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-Presi-
dent Coolidge declared in an ad-
dress today, at the opening of the
International Radio and Telegraph
Conference, that the radio has
become a great influence in the
world and needs to be raised in
to the ''realm of a beneficiens

sion among nations"

The President recommended to
the conference the setting aside
of sectional needs. so that a

method of communication, may be
adopted.
The world will not be benefited
by this increase in scope OF power
unless there Is a corresponding
increase in moral development"
said the President. "Your main
object will be to raise the great
industry into the realm of a be-
Inefficient public service"

FIGHT TEMPTATION
Pastor Thinks Religion Should Keep Folks From Pitfalls Of Evil Rather Than Rescue Fallen.

New York. Oct. c4 (UP)--The re- lgion that keeps a person from fall ing for temptations in the first place is more valuable than one that rcscues him after falling. said Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick yesterday at the Park Avenue Presbyterian church. He was discussing "preven- tive religion"
 "One ounce of religious prevcn- ton is worth a whole pound Of religious cure" he said.
 Preventive religions like medicine offers immunity and prophylactic effect as well as the security that comes from established habits.
 Dr. Fosdick likened preventive re- ligions to inoculation against moral disease. He spoke Of LiEdlsreh ns an example of positive purpose. Even when the fl&nr was offered q million dollar theatrical contract. he held to his ideal of the advancement ! of aviation alone.
 The one thing better than bring ing the prodigal son back from far country is to keep him home in the first place." said Dr. Fosdick.

HOW ID HANDLE
 FOOTBALL SQUADS
Coach Roper Explains Training
 Of Grid Men

Chicago, Oct. al.-4R,-Foo,ban players should not be handled like race horses: neither should they be put through strenuous training like prize fighters. They should only do what other healthy young men should do.
 So says W. w. C"Bhl"D Roper. Princeton coach, in reporting to Franklin II. Martin M. D., president of the Gorgas memorial, who is making study of the training of athletes in connection with the Gorgas memorial program to show the public the way to better health and longer life,
 "Wc try to have the members Of the Tiger squad lead normal. healthy life" Mir. Roper said. "Thcy eat at what we call q training table, just to keep them together and to make the supervision of their food easier. Meals arc served at regular hours. Plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit are served, but the players get meat only twice a day.
 "Jt you know anything about the appetite of beefy, line smashing football player, you can appreciate the difficulty we have in making each member Of the squad eat slow ly.
 Thc players do not report on the field for practice until three hours have passed after eating their lunch.
 Every player must lie down for half an hour before dinner. They need this relaxation after exercising.
 Eating between meals is taboo. and, of course, smoking and intoxi- cantS are not allowed.
 When the season ends. VIC get the members of the squad together and urge them to follow the same routine out of season that they do in sea son."
