One Dog on Radio
Cify's Elevafors!
BY HORACE MITCHELL.

"GooMBY" is the only dog in the
world that is permitted to use
the elevators Of Radio City. New York.
She won this distinction in an un-
usual way. And, too. Goomby is an
unusual dog, even for daughter OF
registered pug parents.
wish you could see her. No queer
er canine exists anywhere. In general
points she is like her breed. but in size
she is a bantam and in disposition a
giddy whimperer. Goomby was the
runt of litter, and she hasn't grown
half as big as her father and mother.
Her legs are thin and supple. Her
hind quarters are narrow and have an
upward arch. Yet her lines are per-
fectly good pug lines, with the pug"
nose and bulgy eyes.
Goomby doesn't weigh over 3
pounds She is owned by a New York
debutante whom We will call Miss
Barbara Fischer. Barbara usually
takes the little dog with her around
the city, and when they turn toward
a building where dogs are not allowed
Goomby is slid underneath Barbara's
coat. The dog keeps so still there that
nobody knows dog is anywhere
around.
Well, this system worked very well
for while. Barbara would call on
her father in his Office high up inside
Radio City. and while the elevator
men refused to admit other people
leading or carrying dogs openly, they
said nothing to Miss Fischer. They
did not know, up to a few weeks ago,
why she always held her coat closely
about her.
On the fateful day. Barbara ascend
ed to her fathers Office as before, but
when she started for the elevators to
come down Goomby grew curious
about all those sounds and smells out
side the coat. Just as Barbara set
foot inside the elevator car, the dog
poked out her head Instantly the
elevator man was obedient to his or
ders. Dogs were barred from the pas
senger elevators. Very sorry. Miss.
But I'd lose my job if took you
down."
Then there was an immense amount
Of telephoning. The elevator operator
had a phone in his car. He called
the superintendent, the superintendent
called somebody else, and after half
an hour word arrived that Miss Fischer
had special permission and Goomby
could ride up and down as frequently
as she wished to do sol

Home Foot Ball Game
Really Scores Goals
PLAYER Kicks Tiny Ball in
This Easily Made
GridirOn Toy.
BY RAY ]. MARIAN.

BY RAY j. MARKHAM.
THE cut-out figure OF a foot ball
player, with one leg pivoted
and arranged with a rubber
i band spring, really kicks tiny
foot ball, whitfield from soft wood,
through the numbered divisions on the
goal posts to score the game in this
easily constructed and highly enter
tanning fun at home stunt.
You can copy the picture of any
foot ball player from newspaper or
magazine, then trace it on piece
of thin wood and cut the outline with
q scroll saw, coloring the figure with
water color paints. Now trace the
lower half of the player again on an
other piece of thin wood. and cut this
hip and leg part of the player out
with your scroll saw.
Attach this second leg evenly to the
body of the player with small brad
driven through the leg slightly below
the center of the hip. Near the top of
this movable leg drill small hole
and thread a rubber band through it.
Stretch the rubber band in back Of the
player and attach this end to the
Dashboard of the game. The tension
of the rubber will make this movable
leg stand straight out from the body.
To hold this leg down alongside of
the other leg, attach small trigger to
the Dashboard. This trigger is just a
small piece of wood, with one end
square. and pivoted to the base with
a brad. The trigger should catch in
the heel of the movable leg and will
hold it down.
Directly in front of the kicking leg
place a small piece of wood. scooped
out in a cup shape, in which the tiny
foot ball whitfield from soft wood is
placed. Better tie the foot ball to the
Dashboard with thread, or else you

will have to chase the ball every time
it is kicked.
With the ball in the cup-shaped
piece in front of the leg, raise up the
back end of the trigger. This will
release the kicking leg. and if you have
placed the ball directly in the path of
the leg the toe Of the foot will kick
the ball high in the air.
Watch how the ball shoots from the
impact, then erect the goal post about
10 inches in front of the player and
across the Dashboard. Cut holes in
the goal post where the ball will hit.
Number these holes for scoring the
game. The player making the toy
kick the ball through the holes add
ing up to the highest score wins the
game.
You should have no difficulty in
making this game, as the only thing
to be careful about is the kicking leg.
If you get this leg and the ball in
proper line, you will have a game that
will amuse you and group of friends
for many hours.

SEWAGE DISPOSAL
PLANT BIDS LESS
THAN ESTIMATES
Delay Letting Of Contract
For Investigation Of
WPA Possibilities

Two low. bids for the completion
of the city's sewage disposal plant
were held for 10 days considera-
ton by the city council after sew
en-, submitted at a special meeting
Of the body Monday night, had
been opened.
Described as Exceptionally
clean and fair" by city officials,
the two ran below estimates by
F. H. Anthony, city engineer.
Lowest of the seven was that of
the Arlington Stone and Gravel
company for $15,572 and the other
under consideration is for $4,000,
the offer of the Bladholm Con-
struction company of Marshall.
Filter rock and concrete aggre-
oates are to be furnished by the
city.
Because the city may receive
Works Progress administration
funds amounting to 40 per cent of
the contract sum, the bids will be
held by the council until August
10 by agreement with the bidders.
Deposits were returned to the
other five contracting companies
at the meeting which was attend
ed by about 40 representatives of
interested firms.
Should the application of the
city for WPA funds be accepted,
it is highly probable that the
amounts of the bid will have to
be somewhat changed to provide
for government wage scales and
extra supervision and the bidders
have agreed to make the change in
proportion to the original sub
mission.
Representatives of the Mime
sofa League of Municipalities ad-
wise Redwood Falls to go ahead
with letting the contracts as soon
as nossible, believing that the
sewage plant will be considered a
must" project and receive funds
accordingly.

FEDERALAPPROVAL.
GIVEN FOR PAVING
5 MILES in COUNTY
Letting Contracts Await Ac-
ton By Executive COun-
Gil, Elsberg Says

A years program of nearly 700
miles of trunk highway construc-
ton, submitted to the United
States Bureau of Public Roads re-
Gently by N. w. Elsberg, state
highway commissioner, has been
approved by the federal authorit-
les, according to an announcement
by the highway department. Five
miles of paving on highway IA in
southern Redwood County is in
cluded.
Approximately $6,3OO,OOO will
be required to carry out the ap-
proved projects, of which the nat
ional government will pay half in
the form of regular, matched fed
eral aid. A list of additional pro-
jects involving about 100000 is
awaiting federal approval and will
complete the program.
The highway department will
begin letting contracts for the
work whenever the State Execu-
tive council authorizes the sale Of
highway bonds to meet the States
share of the cost, Mr.. Elsberg
stated. This method of financing
was provided by the last legisla-
ture, and is the only way in which
the federal fund can be obtained,
he explained. Another construc-
ton program of equal size can be
carried on next year by the
matching method, as Minnesota
has been allotted nearly $1,000.
900 of regular federal highway
aid for 1885 and 1886.
Included in the program already
approved by the federal roads
Bureau is 12O miles of concrete
paving, PIG miles of grading with
gravel lifts, 22O miles of heavy
gravel surfacing, % miles of BIZ

luminous surfacing, - bridges
and a quantity OF miscellaneous
work. \
Further progress in closing
gaps in important paved highways
is provided in the 1885 paving pro-
gram. On U. S. 16, across the
state through the southern tier of
counties, the program includes
five miles of concrete east of Fair
mont, seven miles of concrete in
treeborn county beginning at the
west county line and three miles
in Fillmore county from Spring
Valley east.
Completion of U. S. 1863 as a
paved route from the Iowa border
to the Twin Cities is provided by
means of ten miles of concrete be-
tween the Iowa line and Blue
Earth in Faribault county.
On u. S. IA, another southern
cross-state highway, a five-mile
gap in the pavement at Walnut
Grove is to be closed, nine miles
will be paved between Eagle Lake
and Mankato, and the Stockton
Hill gap just west of Winona will
be eliminated by another nine
miles of concrete. The highway
department plans to bituminous
treat the west end of No. ID from
Balaton to the South Dakota line,
giving a dustless surface from one
side of the state to the other.
On No 60 in Mountain Lake a
mile of paving is provided, with
another mile in Butterfield on the
same route. Waseca is to get a
mile of concrete on streets carry
ing Highways 13 and IA.
Among other important pro-
jects included in the program are
the following:
On u. S. ZIP in Chippewa coun-
ty, three miles of concrete paving
from Montevideo to the south
county line.
On No. % in Big Stone county,
10 miles of grading between
Graceville and the north county
line, with ten miles of bituminous
surIacing between Graceville and
the east county line.

Gas IN Olivia
Water Subject
ofExperinent
Bubbles Contain COmbustible
Gases But Not In Large
Quantities

Olivia-Intrigued by the fact
that Olivia's city water contains
gas which bubbles whenever it
is drawn, DR.. A. H. Kohlhase of
Olivia employed the facilities q
the high school laboratory for an
analysis of the bubbles.
The gas was found to consist of
the following, in per cent by VOL
ume:
Methane ------- 56.7 per cent
Hydrogen ------- O.19 per cent
Carbon Dioxide - LIT per cent
Nitrogen ------- 41.94 per cent
Of these components, only the
methane and hydrogen are COM
bustible or have any fuel value;
these compose $50 per cent of the
total volume. This gas will there
fore have a fuel value of only
about 81 per cent of that of high
est quality natural gas. Natural
gas usually contains 1893 per-
cent of methane, the balance being
chiefly ethane.
At usual temperatures 100 GAL
Ions of the city water liberates a
maximum of about four gallons of
gas. From figures obtained at the
office of the city recorder, it ap-
pears that somewhat more than
1,640,000 cubic feet of water are
pumped in Olivia per year and this
should yield about $4,000 cubic
feet of gas per year. Allowing for
the inert gases present, this has
heating value equivalent to about
IA tons of good soft coal per year
or money value of only about
S14. 1t is therefore not worth
the expense of collecting unless
greatly increased quantities of gas
should appear in the water.
Since no ethane or other higher
hydrocarbon was found in the gas
there is no indication that there
are any petroleum deposits in this
vicinity. This gas may have stray
ed from either coal or peat de-
posits. Because of the rather high
percentage of nitrogen found it
seems probably that buried peat
beds rather that coal have gener-
ated the gas.
None of the gases found in the
water are harmful to health. How
ever users were advised that the
gas will burn and conditions may
arise where dangerous flame or
explosion may result if large
amounts of the gas collect in a
small room, such as, small
poorly ventilated bathroom.
