Every 10 days some one would drive to
KeetmanShoop for supplies and mail.
On these trips the driver always took
a BLACK boy" to walk, back in case of
accident. The Hottentots have no use
for work, but they do not consider walk
ing work. Fifty miles in a day they
consider a nice jaunt Hence the
emergency BLACK boy" on the truck.
Goes 20 Miles for Help.
When Mr.. Hoover broke an axle in
the sand of a oried-up river the Hot
tentot servant trudged off 20 miles for
help. At other times this dry river
was raging torrent, and on one occa-
sion cut them off from Keetmanshoop
for six weeks.
Getting water and supplies up the
mountain proved great trial. Mount
BrukkaroS was chosen because of the
lack of rain. The roof-cistern system
yielded some water, but not enough.
Two loads of water daily were brought
up from water hole on donkey back.
Taking of observations generally &C.
cupied the morning from soon after
Sun-up until 9 or IL o'clock. The rest
of the day was spent in computing the
results obtained by three instruments
each different. The computations re-
quire six hours or more
The intricacy of the computations
may be judged from the fact that once
the data for six film exposures of solar
radiation intensity have been taken, the
figures have to be corrected for depth
of the atmosphere, ozone, water Vapor,
dust in the air. absorption in the mirror
reflection, absorption in the black strip
used in the instruments and absorp-
ton in the prisms.
At Brukkaros the expedition had on
an average of 240 clear days per year.
The observatory, Mr.. Hoover believes,
may prove especially valuable because
its reports accentuate deviations in COM
putations reported from California and
Chile. These variations have put the
scientists on the trail of some unknown
factor governing the check on the suns
radiation.

Essential Factors in

ways of gauging rising values.
The growth in population, transport

, BUILDING
City's Wisdom Shown in
Looking to the Futur


Millions of dollars will be saved to
American cities through the planning
of city improvements early. This is
evidenced by the experience of Akron.
Ohio, which, through carefully con-
templated and progressive street wi.
dening, has already saved nearly ST.
100000 according to e. E. Duffy, head
Of one of the largest associations deal
ing in building and road construction
materials.
"Ten years ago Akron adopted a
street-widening plan calling Tor the
eventual widening Of nearly twelty
miles of Streets" he said. ITO have
widened these thoroughfares outright
would have been impossible, for the
total cost would have been some $780,
100000. The plan was adopted Of es-
tablishing new setback building lines
so that as buildings became obsolete
and were replaced, the new structures
were erected ten feet or more back
from the former building line.
"The 100000 saving made by
Akron includes money saved through
the avoidance of condemnation charges.
Having saved this amount in ten years,
the city is now going to spend roughly
that amount in widening four and a
half miles Of an important artery"
