u. S. STARTING
SURVEY WORK
Approve Proposal For
Topographic Coun-
ty Map

Work on the topographic map of
Cameron county, which will be made
by government engineers and which
will show one-foot contours. is under
way. Information to this effect was
received Wednesday from Colonel
Birdscye, head Of the United States
geological survey, who stated in a
letter to w. O. Washington. head of
n Cameron county engineering de-
partment, that the engineers are now
studying the maps Of the county in
the various government departments
and that actual surveys will start in
six or seven weeks.
Cameron county commissioners
court recently authorized an ex-
penditure Of $4,000 to $4,000 for
this work. which IL il estimated will
cost approximately $4,000. the fed

of the expense. Acceptance by Cam
eron county was followed by the let
ter from Colonel Birdseye stating
there would be NJ delay in making
the survey.
The proposition Of making a topo-

one-foot contours was discussed sew
eral months z with the array en-
gineers, and there was some doubt
as to whether the government could
undertake the work. Such maps have
been made by the government engi-
neers for several Hundred counties,
but heretofore there has been no
demand for maps showing contours
under four or five feet. Owing 10
the level nature Of the Cameron
county terrain a topographic map
which did not show the one-foot con-
tours would be ~vslueless, engineers
asserted. In view of this fact the
federal engineers took the matter up
with the department, explained the
necessity which existed for the low
er contour map and have received
the approval Of the department
heads.
Irrigation and drainage districts
are especially interested in the sur
vey, and the Valley engineers were
unanimous in requesting Cameron

liable in connection with irrigation.

o TO DO IT
Indications Of Health


Everyone knows the sign Of pro-
longed illness which appears in the
writing Of the sick person. The
pressure is uneven and the basic
line begins TO lag and sag. The cap
itals lose their assurance and the
whole appearance of the writing
takes on a vaguely tremulous air.
One Of the facts which often
prove confusing to the person who
begins to investigate the indications
Of health in handwriting is that
quite sick people sometimes retain
a full and vigorous writing.
This is the indication Of one of
two things:
/. The writer's constitution is not
at all affected by the illness.
2. The will power and mental ard
temperamental vitality are so great
tina: physical weakness makes little
impression on the writer. hence,
does not show in the writing.
In the first instance. a recovery
from the illness is likely.
In the second instance, there is
every hope for recovery, even IL the
condition is serious. since physicians
now agree that the will to recover
is half the battle.
