HOW O'PRONOUNCE 1T.
When you get into an argument
the merit time oper the pronxncia-
ton OF Adds Abdba, the capital OF
Ethiopia, assure your opponent that
it sounds pery little like it is
spelled. The first report OF the
United States Geographic Board.
published in 1882. gives the ap-
prorimate pronunciation OF this
name as "dhddis ahwdwd." Nth
the accent on the first syllable OF

NO STONE THROWING.
The boyish habit OF throwing
stones is one prohibited by Iaw in
the District OF Columbia. The ldw
says that it is illegal for any per-
. son or persons, "tDithin the District
of Columbia, to throio any stone or
other missile in any street, avenue,
alley, road or highway, or open
space, or public square, or in
closure, or to throU any stone or
other missile from any place into
any street, Avenue, road or high

to walk along q trafhc- burdened
street. The CO fumes are about as
perilous one place as the other.
The Bureau Of Mines IL very much
interested in the general question Of
carbon monoxide hazards from to-
bacco smoke, especially with regard
to mine ventilation. So they made
an odd test to determine just how
much co is present in closed spaces
where people might be assembled.
Three or more subjects remained in
a closed, non-ventilated room Of APP
proximately 1000 cubic feet capacity,
and smoked continually during the
entire test period of one to two hours.
Tests were made with IL good grade
cigars, 27.1 grams of pipe tobacco, so
popular brand cigarettes and Is good
grade stogies.
Samples Of the room atmosphere
were taken at intervals and analysed
for co, carbon -dioxide, and oxygen
content; while blood samples were
taken from the subjects at the end
Of each test for percentage of CO
saturation Of the blood,
In every test the smoke became
very uncomfortable in IS minutes.
and in from As to 60 minutes 1t be-
came necessary to wear goggles to
prevent eye irritation. In other words,
each test was continued until the
smoke was from four to six times
more concentrated than would be per-
mitted under ventilated conditions.
The highest percentages of co
present at the end of any of the tests
was never greater than .02 per cent,
and the percentage CO saturation of
the blood of the subjects was not
greater than per cent, even in the
case Of two subjects who inhaled 20
cigarettes each during the ll2-hour
test period.

frequency of occurrence and the variety
of types constituting a severe test of the
organization chartered by Congress to
handle this type of National relief.
Expenditures of the Red Gross for re-
lief of persons stricken by disasters
within the continental United States
amounted to $464,413. In addition,
$4,000 was sent to the Philippines to
assist them in three major relief opera
tons necessitated by typhoons, $4,000
went to victims of the Indian earth
quake, and 5000 to Poland for victims
of sever floods. A number of smaller
foreign emergencies called for sums
totaling $500.
The months of February, March,
April, May and June were heaviest for
tornado disasters. Floods occurred
throughout the year. Serious fires
calling for Red Cross assistance took
place during July and December A
devastating explosion took place in
Tennessee during April. Most of the
hurricanes struck States along the east
coast during the fall and early winter.
"All of this assistance to persons in
distress" Admiral Grayson pointed out
was only possible through generous con-
tributions made by citizens in all Sec
tons of the country"
Most of thi support of the disaster re-
lief service comes from the annual Roll
Call held each year from Armistice Day
to Thanksgiving Day.

Meteor Drops Rock
Close to Watcher,

Anoka.-A meteor streaked across the
sky and dropped fragment almost in
the pocket of Daniel E. Rankin, of
Burns, near Anoka. The meteor flashed
across the sky from north to south, ap-
pearing to be about fourth the size of
the moon, and there was a succession
of explosions as pieces dropped off,
making a yellowish light. A piece
landed in the field about 20 rods from
Rankin's house, and when he went over
to investigate it was still smoking He
brought the piece to Anoka, where it is
on exhibition. The rock measures ap-
proximaely four inches by two inches,
and looks like vitrified piece of flint.
One edge is sharp and it will easily cut
glass, it is so sharp Rankin said he
heard the series of explosions before the
meteorite passed overhead. They
sounded like thunder, and the noise was
heavy and penetrating.

future. There is a common sense ap-
proach to the discrimination of past
practices that have created a ire
mendous burden in the Lake States
in particular, in the form of idle and
non-productive land and the destruc-
ton of natural wealth to the point
where, instead of offering a decent
place in which to live, vast areas have
the appearances of a man-made desert.
'The work done by the Forest Ser
vice in the establishment of the Ma
tional Forests, cooperation in the for
mutation of State Forests and State
forest policies, and working with the
wood-using industries, has gone along
way, but it still has far to go. There
is an enormous job of reclamation
through forest planting and forest cul-
tural operations that has just been
started"
Mr.. Tinker stated that he would
watch with vast amount of interest in
the future course that is followed in
the Region.
Mr.. Tinker graduated from the
forestry course at Michigan State Col
lege. This was followed by a term at
Yale Forest School, from which he
graduated in June, 1915, with the de-
gree of Master of Forestry
In July, 1915, he entered the. U. S
Forest Service as Forest Assistant in
South Dakota. Since then he has
served successfully as Forest Super
visor of the Arapaho National Forest in
Colorado, SIS Forest Supervisor of the
Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming
and as Chief of the Branch of Lands
in the Regional Office at Denver, Colo.
On January l, 1929, he was placed in
charge of the newly established Lake
States Region of the Forest Service, in
Guiding nine National Forests and Plr-
chase Units in the States of Michigan
Minnesota and Wisconsin. -
Under his leadership, the work of the
Region, which has since been renamed
the North Central Region, has been ex-
tended, and its boundaries now include
Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and
Iowa, in addition to Wisconsin, Mich
igan and Minnesota.

Farmers Shock Cattle
Along With Corn.

Hector.-Art and Ed johnson, farmers
near Hector, have novel way to keep
their cattle in hand. They have put up
a single strand charged wire around
their pasture, and have had no trouble
since in keeping their herd within the
bounds of bovine property. The wire
is charged from the farm plant, and
though the current isn't dangerous, 1t
is strong enough to discourage contact
with it. The johnson brothers contend
that the fence is cheaper to put up
than the regular three strand barbed
variety, and is more effective as well.
The disillusioned cattle are even wary
about crossing spots from which the
fence has been removed.

Tracks For Highway.

Northome.-'Twas three o'clock in

residents but also almost the dawn,
when their car wedged itself in the rail-
road tracks just outside of town. The
local freight train had to stop quite
suddenly Evidently the driver had
made mistake and turned too soon
on the highway when leaving town after
dance. His car was wedged in be-
tween the tracks at the switch division.
The occupants considered themselves
very lucky as one headlight remained
on, giving warning to the engineer
which enabled him to pull up his train.
Members of the train crew helped the
occupants of the car get their machine
off the track and they proceeded blithe-
ly on their way.

Employment Office statistics are
