WHAT FORMER NOMEITES
 ARE WONT TO DO
(By ThOs. Ganney)


 This chronicle is taken from mem ory, not having in view any inten- tion during my travels of furnishing copy for Nome's great family paper. I did no, keep a diary, so I must back track to Fairbanks which in a casual way I imagined had cover ed in my previous article. Funny isn't it how memory tricks a person at times. Just after you have writ ten letter and dropped it in the postoftice; or gave impressions to a paper and they are printed: up jumps old man memory and sharply reminds you; you have forgotten so and so, or such and such.
 While stayin" at Fairbanks wait ing plane to take me home, a dear old friend of former Nome days touched mo on the shoulder, it was Red" Roosevelt. I had not seen him for years. I believe he told me he left Nome. in 1906 Or 1907 Of course "Red's' first inquiry was about B lilly Rowe Red" was one of "Rilly's" star teamsters. and at time when Nome hoastad the 2 ct ast bunch of skinners ever collected together in one place. We talked for hours. and in fancy l could see a string of teams like I huge cara vansary headed for the tundra - always the best skinners in front to find the hard spots if there was any.

The Importance Of good plumbing
when r.anning a new home Is stress
ed by Hays and Sons, plumbers and
electricians.
Besides good plumbing the home
maker must make certain that the
work being done for him is by reli-
able workers. Good plumbing may
be used in such a way that the
value Of the material is lowered,
so far as the home-owner is con-
cerned, unless it IS correctly in
stalled.
Hays and Sons had the first shop
In the Valley. MI. j. II. Hays first
came into business in Brownsville
in 1909 In a shop occupying the
site now had by the Capitol thea
ter. He also has a store in San
Benito. housed in one Of the finest
buildings there and erected at a
cost OF $50 1000. The show room OF
the San Benito plant is considered
one OF the finest in the Valley or
South Texas. Edward Hays is man
ager.
In the Brownsville plant j. II.
Hays Is manager along with Hay
den Hays. all Of whom have learn
ed the plumbing trade from ex-
perience.
Another thing the home builder
should have in mind, the plumbers
pointed out. is the fact that they
can get their materials at a cheap
er rate from houses buying in large
quantities. Hays buys high grade
enamel ware, castiron, and tile in
carload lots. He stresses also the
Wolverine brass ware.
An economical heating arrange
ment Is offered Valley citizens and
others building when they consider

billiard rooms or playrooms for
the children, and have banished
forever the old cobwebby, damp
catch-all cellars that were Of no
great value to them.
Make Ideal PIayroom
For example, a properly remodel
ed basement makes an ideal play
room for the children. Here they
can romp to their hearts content
without having the clatter OF their
feet disturb their elders They can
lay out their miniature railroad
systems without getting them un-
der the feet Of their parents. rainy
days will not hamper their activi-
ties and too much attention need
not be paid to their playmates'
muddy feet. When the children r
older the basement makes an ideal
place for a home gymnasium where
trapezeS. parallel bars, punching
bags and similar equipment can be
installed.
Many families have found the
basement al ideal place for a rec
reation room in which car be placed
a billiard table that would take up
too much space in any other por-
ton. of the house. These recreation
rooms are frequently used for card
parties and other amusements. On
the other hand, this space may be
converted into a workshop, photo
graphic dark or chemistry
laboratory.

A bungalow may be built on a
lot 40 feet in width but a larger
lot offers opportunity for more *
tensive ~landscaping. 1t may be
erected on a lot as wide as 100 feet.
In cities Of moderate size and
average costs. such as Brownsville
and other Valley cities. the con-
struction price ordinarily will run
$4,000 and $4,000. IN smaller cities
the home probably could be built
for the lower figure if wage costs
were not unusually high.
Have you ever realized that your
basement offers a splendid oppor-
tunity TO increase the amount OF
space in your home available for
living? Perhaps you have consider

and it has been proposed that cer- tain areas should be burned off so that some rain would fall It would work. But such method would be analogous to that of the boy whi got rid of the rats in his fathers barn by burning down the building.
 Other methods proposed for rain- making range from piping the cold air down from the arctic to build ing huge screens which would catch and divert drifting banks of fog toward the continent. Some have wanted to put cargoes Of ice in balloons and let them drift in the upper air, and others would scatter dust over the sky so there might be nuclei about which moisture might condense. It might. but it doesn't.
 So, apparently. it isn't the heat; it's the stupidity. Dry America

physicist of r the United States weather bureau, once wrote a book on the subject. But he points out that the trouble is with the en- gineering and economic phases of the problem. which would have to duplicate the method used by na- ture-the forcing upward of lower. humid air to higher levels so that it would be condensed and fall again.
 Way back in 1S41 such a scheme was actually patented. One plan was to build a giant tube about l50 feet high through which the hot, moist air from the earth would be forced into the cool skies. To check a rainy spell. it would have been necessary only to reverse the blowers and pull the chilled air down to earth.

Havana. Aug. P-Cuba takes a leading place among all nations in it's provision for children born Of poverty or shame.
 Few countries have any official Institution to compare with the Casa de Beneiicencia in Havana, an establishment supervised by the government and consecrated 10 af- fcrding foundlings ample opportu- mites 10 achieve their inalienahle birthright - the chance to become happy, useful citizens.

 No phase Of possible development is overlooked. Realistically as we'll as physically. morally as we'll as mentally, the boy or girl is trained to assume the responsibilities of the adult man or woman.
 A striking example of the results is afforded by the career of Dr. Juan Valdes. one Of the country's greatest physicians.
 Dr Ealdes was a founding. He vas cduca.e1 as any American college man Of means might be and rose 10 the top Of his profession.

open pots of chemicals which would generate hydrogen gas that would rise and in doing so create an upward whorl. But to have generated enough gas to cause a real air currents resulting in a shower would have taken the pa tient scientists. according to Hum phreys. at least 2SO years.
 Putting the problem in more definite engineering terms, Hum phreys calculated how much force would be necessary, on an average day. to raise the lower air suffi- ciently to result in a half-inch rain- fall over the comparatively tiny District of Columbia. The result was 75.000,000 horse power. which all would have to be generated within an hour.

 It still is widely believed that loud noises or explosion will pro- duce rain, and many will point to the rains that have followed great battles in history. Even the gov ernment once had an idea that something of the sort might be true, 90 in 1891 congress appro- priated S9.000 fer experiments in rain-making. Most Of the work vas done in Texas under the direc- ton of General Robert Dyrenforth, as a special agent of the depart ment of agriculture. He set eff large quantities of dynamite and exploded hydrogen-fi filled balloons. Sure enough. little rain did fall, but weather men knew it was al- ready on the map and would have come down anyway.

NO MEANS FOUND
 0F MAKING RAIN
Experts Declare All Efforts to Produce Showers Have Failed

Washington. ?. C. August ic - Except for local precipitation in the form of perspiration, or tears. you cant make rain. Even the storms of demands that something be done about it. the over casting of vast area with clouds of depression, and showers of appeals for aid to the government at Washington have be en of no avail in abating the rec ord drought and it's accompanying heat wave.
 There has been no rain simply because there was no moisture. ac- eording to the chief forecaster Of the weather bureau here. Charles l. Mitchell. One Of the biggest factors in such a situation" he pointed out. lis the fact that the more rain district has the more f is likely 10 receive in the future, and the less that falls today, the les is likely 10 fall tomorrow.
 Rain reaching the ground and fl plant life IS drawn back into the sky 10 rain again. But when We run short of rainfall there is no moisture 10 he drawn back, and consequently none to come down again
 They Can Only Wait
 Weather experts know rains are bound to come, said the chief fore caster, but they do not know what conditions will produce them. All Jo ;c eft Iaol- lcElle monotonous and discouraging re- ports. and wait for some unusual meteorological development to break up the vicious circle.
 The disturbances moving acroSs the country which produce most of our rain have been concentrated this year up in the Hudson Bay region" Mitchell reported. That is far north of the sections where we normally find barometric lows, with the result that the southern limit of dependable showers has been in the extreme northerly parts of this country,
 Neither have We had any hur- ricanes this summer. A good strong hurricane can pc Gepenutu oIl to produce rain over a wide area. The break in the situation might come through rotating wind disturbances from the southwest, combining low pressure areas in that section with high pressure areas in the lake ana St Lawrence valley regions
 It is. Mitchell points out. a very very puzzlng situation. All meteor ologists know is that none Of the causes of rain have been present. They don't know why. They are sure there is some significance Tn the fact that there has been eX- treme precipitation in Europe while there has been extfeme drought in this country. But they don't know what the connection is.

THROUGHOUT the world, the women workers
will celebrate Womens Day on March
under the leadership Of the Communist Inter
national. This is day set aside for the special
purpose of modifying all women workers for
the class struggle for bringing before the
working class the need of uniting in common
struggle against the capitalists. Although the
women workers are doubly oppressed in every
capitalist country and are drawn in almost
all industries as cheap labor source, they are
still unorganized.
The women workers and especially the Ne
gro women workers who are the majority of the
semi-sklled and unskilled workers are the
worst paid and most exploited section of the
working class.
International Womens Day provides an OPP
portunity not only to reach and organize the
women workers but also to unite them with
the male workers as equals in the class strug-
gle The women workers must come forward
and take their place besides their working
brothers, not simply as "helpmates" but as con-
scious workers fighting for the interest of the
working class as a whole. Women workers
should on the occasion of International Wom-
ems Day join the only Party of the working
class, the Communist Party of the U. S. A.
Every effort should be made to reach the mass
es of Negro women workers and draw them
into the class struggle, to get them to partake
in demonstrations for International Womens
Day. The conditions under which Negro wom-
