Will VOTE June g
ON IMPROVEMENTS
FOR WATERWORKS
Proposed improvements to be
Submitted in Two Resolutions
at Election
MAJORITY VOTE REQUIRED
One Resolution for Reservoir,
Pumping Equipment; Other
for Softening Plant

At a meeting held last Monday
night, adjourned from Tuesday night,
May 5, at which bids were opened for
improvements to the city water
works, the city council decided to
place the matter of improvements in
the hands of the voters of Redwood
Falls. This will call for a special
election which will be held on Tues
day, June 9th.
The proposed improvements will be
submitted to the voters in two reso-
lutions as follows:
1. A $4,000 bond issue to defray
the cost of new reservoir and larg-
er and more efficient pumping equip
ment.
2. An $4,000 bond issue to defray
the cost of water softening plant
and buildings.
If both issues carry it will mean a
bond issue of $34, 900 for the complete
new plant, sum considerable under
the estimated figure submitted by
the consulting engineer. The voters
will have chance to pass both
issues, either one or neither.
A majority vote will be required in
either case for the resolution to car
ry, coming under section of the law
that states that a bond issue up to
$4,000 may be submitted and carried
by majority vote.

Pastors Sermonize
on Mothers Day
Rev. Martin Sees Need of More
Practical Appreciation-Rev.
Aga Scores Flappers

Mothers Day can be both practical
and sentimental, remarked the Rev.
G. E. Martin, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church in his Sunday morn
ing sermon.
Appreciation is Christian grace.
It beauties life. A person would be
better if living in an atmosphere OF
encouragement and appreciation. He
said that people should give mothers
appreciation for their love, faith and
many sacrifices, while they were yet
alive.
In illustrating his sermon Rev.
Martin selected modern day examples
from current events.
The Rev. R. o. Aga, pastor Of the
English Lutheran church, scored the
fiippant attitude of many modern
mothers toward responsibilities which
constitute motherhood.
Women of today are in stage OF
transition, he observed, and with her
new freedom she has not fully adapt
ed herself. In initiating man she has
copied many Of his vices instead OF
his virtues.
The greatest job Of woman is moth
erhood he said, though not depreciat-
ing her efforts in business or the IN
dustrial world. And her greatest re-
ward is not necessarily IN realizing
the greatness of her children, but In
knowing that they are good and
principled.
In paying tribute to Mothers, he
pointed to the fact that mothers OF
all great men, were those that reared
their children in the nurture of the
Lord It behooved women not to lose
sight Of their moral obligations I'M

 cans swallow such preparations without knowing what they contain and without even reading the label to see. In practically every medi- cine chest there are poisons, an overdose of which may prove fatal. According to experts. there's no place like home--to get poisoned z writes Edwin w. Teale, in Popular Science Monthly.
 The deaths of number of chil- dren under five have been traced to half-empty bottles of sugar-coated tablets and pink pills. containing strychnine, which were left within their reach and which they mistook for candy. Experts advocate a law requiring POISON to be printed across the labels of all drugs having even small amounts of strychnine.

The most extensive study ever conducted for the purpose of elimi- hating the carbon monoxide menace from flying has just been completed under the direction of Lieut-Com- mander Joel J. White. navy flying surgeon. The elaborate government tests disclosed that the danger of monoxide poisoning appears to be present only in two types of open planes cockpit planes. All of the cabin ships tested proved free from the menace.
 The reason, the experiments showed, is that the monoxfde fumes usually enter a plane on air currents that carry them back from the ex- haust of the engine, following the general contours of the fuselage. Naturally, this is next to impossible in cabin plane. writes James Nevin Miller in March Popular Science Magazine.
 The investigators concluded that the remedy lay in changing the di-. rection of the exhaust leads in the two planes. They found ways to switch the mir currents to one side. so they would not be swept along the lire of the fuselage into the cockpit. Tire tests than were repeated, ann not a trace of the gas was found.
 Twenty-Five research experts and pilots participated in the experi-- ments, conducted over a period of two months at the Naval Air station at Anacistia, D. c. The research program centered around two types of tests. First, blood samples taken of a pilot or passenger of a plane were examined in the laboratory for possible evidences of the deadly gas.. Secondly, air samples taken by means of a special device from the cockpit or cabin of each plane tested were examined.
 The blood tests were made in this manner: To the blood in the test tube were added water and pyrogallic and tannic acid, a mixture whic hgives normal blood light gray color. If carbon monoxide is present., the color will turn pinkish when the acids are added, the exact shade depending on the amount of poison present. The color of the blood samples tested was compared with that of a series of standard" samples previously prepared so as to present the entire range of monoxide blood poisoning between i've per cent and 100 per cent absorbtion. Thus the laboratory expert could tell at glance whether his test sample contained carbon monoxide, and If so, how much.
 The air samples were taken from airplane cabins and cockpits with a rubber bulb device. It consisted of q pint-size vacuum bottle connected with rubber tube the nevk of which absorbed any gas except car- bon monoxide. When the bulb was pressed a pint of air was dwarn in. The bottle was sealed and removed

Forgery Increases;

How Criminal Penmen, Robbing U. S. of S15O, ,OOO 900
 Yearly, Are Caught

The yearly loss from forgery in the United States is $l50.000, ,000--a sum equal to the combined incomes of more than 10000 average wage earners. Tn one recent week, the toll taken by forgers in a single eastern city was $300,000.
 According to William B. Joyce, chairman of the National Surety company, New York city, forgery is on the increase, due to present business conditions, and the battle against the criminal penman has assumed new importance. In this fight, writes Edwin w. Teale in Pop ular Science Monthly, handwriting experts. cameras, chemicals and mi croscopes are used in tn. search for clues in the strokes and curves left by the criminals pen. Some of the results are almost uncanny. For in- stance, witness a recent case in Pennsylvania:

TWO MILLION
 UNEMPLOYED IN
 GREAT BRITAIN
Eight Million Ate Christmas Dinner on Insurance
 Fund

London --(UP)- Almost S,OO0,- 900 persons in Great Britain ate Christmas dinners bought with mon- ey from the nations unemployment insurance fund.
 The year 1890 closed with over D. 000,000 registered unemployed in Britain, more than double the num- Pessimists have predicted the total will range between 2.50O,OOO and B. O00.000 before winter ends.
 Unemployment has reached the highest peuk since 1922 when 2,580.- 429 insured workers were registered as idle.
 To feed, clothe and shelter her unemployed millions, Great Britain spends $13 a second, or about $400,- 100000 a year. This sum Is raised and disbursed through the unem- ployment insurance fund, probably the most elaborate relief scheme the world has ever known.
 Industry Taxed
 Indirectly, British industry keeps alive both the unemployed and em- ployed through this scheme. It pro- vides that the worker contribute a certain percentage of his weekly wages as insurance, while the em- piOycT ana tuo BOVeTuHeHt diSO COH- tribute sum for each workers. Ma turally the amount contributed by the government is largely paid by in- dustry through taxation.
 The burden of caring for the un- employed weighed heavily upon both capital and labor during 1880.
 Taxed to maintain the unem- ployed, industry has had to raise prices. Thus British products, which were already being undersold In for eign markets, were placed under an even greater handicap. British ex- ports fell off. sending an increasing number of men into unemployment. Labor bore its share of the bur- den by accepting wage cuts. In some cases wages were lowered as much as ten per cent. Even some of the highly organized trades were forced to agree to decreases.
 At the present time there is a growing sentiment against the "dole," and it is likely if the labor government is driven from office that the amount spent for unemployment relief will be reduced.
