STEEL OFFICIAL LAUDS
PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAM
Construction Head Tells Hoover
That Plan Would Stimulate
All Business.

Charles Abbott of New York. execu-
tive director of the American Institute
of Steel Construction. told President
Hoover today that the public works
program. as recommended by him in
connection with unemployment relief,
would undoubtedly prove stimulating
upon all business. Mr.. Abbott, in men
tioning his talk with the President
afterward, declined to say whether or
not his industry opposed the public
works provision in the Wagner Garner
unemployment relief bill.
Mr. Abbott made it plain, however.
that his industry favored the admins
tration public works program. He
agrees with President Hoover that artt-
fetal stimulants TO uneconomic and
pork barrel" projects would be unde-
sirable and impracticable and would
create a waste of public funds.
He stated further that the Hoover
program would break the backbone of
the present depression.
He added that he told the President
steps should be taken TO prevent use Of
foreign made material in public works.

Why Demure Expression
 Is Cause of Ridicule

To look As if butter would not melt in ones mouth," is said usually con- temptuously of persons of excessively demure appearance. The earliest rec ord we have of the saying is it's use by w. Palsgrave in 1530: "He maketh as though butter wolde not melte in his mouthe." And again in 1852, Bis hop Latimer said iE a sermon on the Lords Prayer: "These fellows can speak so finely that man would think butter should scant melt In their mouths" John Haywood, who four ished about 1865, wrote: "She look eth as if butter would not melt In her mouth"; while Dean Jonathan Swift Q667 wrote in his Essay on Polite Conversation" "She looks as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth"

NEWS ITEMS OF 1776

Items from old newspapers are of interest to many, and here are few from the Massa- chusetts Sun, published in Wcr- cester on July IT, 1776, the front page of which was devot- ed to the Declaration of Inde- pendence, then less than two weeks old. A news letter from New York said:
 "On Wednesday last the Declaration of Independence was read at the head of each brigade of the Continental Army at or near New York, and everywhere received with loud huzzas and utmost dem- stration of joy. The same even- ing the equestrian statue of George III was by the sons of freedom laid prostrate in the dilt. The lead wherewith this monument was made is to be run into bullets to assimilate with the brains of our adver- saries, who, to gain a pepper corn, have lost an empire"
 A resolution of the House of Representatives of Watertown requested that people of that colony donate their leaden win dow weights for the making of bullets.
 Among the notices was one stating that there were "con- siderable numbers of prisoners in the town, who were willing to go out to service if proper persons were willing to hire them"
 Delinquent subscribers were a problem in those days. as

Why Printers "Chapels"

In England the word chapel was ap- piled to printing office, also to a meeting or association of journeymen of printing office for promoting and enforcing order among themselves and for settling disputes. These meet ings were presided over by "father of the chapel" The term is said to have originated in the fact that print ing was first carried on in England by Caxton in a chapel attached to or near Westminster abbey. It was customary at that time to do the work of print ing in chapels attached to abbeys. R. Holme, in 1888, said: 'Every print ing house is termed a chappel."

Why Left Uninsured

The Capitol, White House and other federal buildings are not insured be- cause the government owns so many buildings that it has about the same advantages as fire insurance com pany would have in that respect Most of the public buildings are more or less fireproof and the government finds 1t less expensive to appropriate money for replacements when needed rather than to make the payments on insur- ance policies.

WHY
Region in Ocean Is Called
 the "Doldrums"

When person Is suffering from low spirits or mental depression he is said to be in the dOldrums. The phrase is synonymous with lin the dumps" "Doldrums" Is an old Eng fish word of uncertain derivation. Some authorities suppose 1t to be re- lated in origin to "dulP' and "dolt." "The doldrums" is the popular name for shifting oceanic zone lying near the equator between the trade winds and noted for it's calms and light, baf- fling winds, which in the old days sometimes prevented all progress of sailing vessels for weeks. In that re- zion the sky is overcast much of the time, the atmosphere is hot, humid and oppressive, and the frequent rains are generally accompanied by thunder storms. The trade winds are north- easterly in the northern hemisphere and sOutheasterly in the southern. The southeast trade wind blows over an area extending from the equator to % degrees south, while the northeast trade extends from about 10 degrees to 30 degrees north. The equatorial belt of low pressure between these two winds is the region known as the doldrums. Thus 1t will be seen that the true doldrums extend from the equator to about 10 degrees north and do not include any part of the south ern hemisphere. There Is, however, a corresponding low pressure belt south of the equator in the Pacific. The dol drums are a seasonal belt, shifting from slightly north of the equator in the northern winter. and slightly fur ther north in the northern summer. The trade winds blow a regular trade or course toward the thermal equator, . roughly 30 degrees north and 30 de- grees south, but they are defiected to northeast and to southeast, respec- lively, by the rotation of the earth.

Few Mines Have Produced
 At Rate of Million a Month

Few indeed are the gold mines in history that have pro- duced consistently at the rate of $1,000,000 (about 48,400 ounces) per month, says Min ing and Metallurgy. Goldfield Consolidated, Nevada's great est bonanza, for a time in it's heyday approximated $1, ,00O,- 900 per month. Hollinger's best year was 1925, when pro- duction averaged $1, 1900, 1000 a month. Of the South Africa Rand producers that have been in this select group are Govern ment Areas, New Modderfon- tein, Randfontein, East Rand Proprietary and Grown Mines.
 The biggest production Oil record was $22,880,000 by Government Areas in 1880.
