not been started. AllotmentS for
some of the latter have been
rescinded, while others have been
held up pending the court de-
ciSionS.
Fifty-eight power projects have
been completed, but most of them
were launched before the court
campaign began. Fifty-two others
are under construction.
One Of the most significant
projects involved is the little
iva" in Nebraska, here irriga-
ton and power both are involved
In construction Of three projects
the Platte Valley, Tri-County,
and Columbus.
Injunction Obtained
No attacks were launched on
these projects until an agreement
was formulated for sale Of power
from the Platte Valley project to
municipalities and unification of
distribution from the three prof.
Octs. ..
Utilities interests then obtained
temporary injunction to restrain
development Of the Platte project
and the unification Of the system.
BY agreement, counsel for the
utilities companies did not seek
to halt work on the three projects,
because of the irrigation to be
provided for thousands Of farms.

Moral ReciDeS

The following moral recipes were
first published in the Philadelphia
City Item in 1862:
To make man your friend-get
him to do you favor.
To kill a SANDER take no notice
of it.
To obtain a favor seem to expect
it,
To ease sorrow-give it vent.
To make others confess their
faults confess your own.
To make others respect you're
spect yourself.
To keep a child out of mischief
keep him busy.
To make a person pleased with
you-make him pleased with him
self.
To gain praise-be modest.
To prevent a quarrel--come to an
understanding.
To find out mans faults
praise him to others beyond his
deserts.
To maintain authority-kill the
first offense.
To get the better of one who has
injured yOu-forgive him.
To get rid of a bore-ask him
to lend you money or else lend him
money and ask him to pay you.

The Better Way

Admiral Richard e. Byrd, world
renowned explorer, aviator, and
scientist and conqueror of the
North and South Poles, announced
at a public dinner recently held in
his honor, his determination to
spend the rest of his life in promo
ton of world peace by furthering
the friendship of his country with
other nations of the world. He said
that the great folly of all follies is
the amazing attitude of civilized ma
tions toward each other. Fear, an
tagonism, and reprisals seem to be
the rule among nations which, in
their conduct toward each other,
are, believe, 10000 years behind
the individual civilized citizen in
his conduct toward his neighbor.
He continued, Therefore it ap-
pears to me that if a citizen desires
responsible prosperity and well-be-
ing for his family and his fellow
citizens, he should strive for friend
ly understanding among the family
nations of the world. That seems
the loyal and efficient thing to do
for his country"

Handsome Is

The Republican platform, adopted
at Cleveland, calls for ''a prompt
determination of the facts concern
ing relief and unemployment. Re-
Gently Senator Murray of Montana
asked for a vote on his resolution
"providing for the appointment of a
national unemployment and relief
com mission to get these facts and
report them to the next congress.
Senator McNary of Oregon, Republi-
can floor leader, objected, and the
resolution failed.
The Republican platform also
says: 1--WE pledge ourselves to the
merit system, virtually destroyed by
New Deal spoilsmen. 1t should be
restored, improved and extended" ;"
Yet when the Ramspeck bill Eek
tending the classified executive
civil service" was reached on the
consent calendar in the house, Chair
man Ramspeck of the house civil
service commission pleaded for pass
age. as an administration measure,
telling Republicans that it was di
rectly in line with their party's new
platform But the two New Jersey
Representatives Lehl-
bach and McLean-objected and the
bill was sidetracked.

Special Equipment Used
by Experts in TaxiderYnv

The first principle governing taxi
dermy is that, after the specimen has
been procured in as fresh and clean
state as possible, it should have the
skin stripped from the body so as not
to disturb the scales if fish or rep
tile, the feathers If a bird. or the fur
or hair If a mammal, according to q
writer in the Indianapolis News. Tools
required comprise several sharp knives
(some pointed and some obtuse), pair
of scissors, a pair of pliers, a pair of
nippers or cutting pliers" some tow,
wadding, needles and thread. "stnf-
fing iron,' some crooked avis a pair
of fine long fat-nosed pliers ana a
camel-hair brush.
The preservatiye compound often
used is the original "arsenical soap"
made by cutting up and boiling =
pounds of white soap, to which y
ounces salt of tartar and ounces pow
dered lime Cor whiting) are added
when dissolyed to this mixture, when
nearly cold, pounds powdered arsenic
and ounces camphor (the latter pre-
vlously triturated in mortar with
spirits of wine) are added. The mix
ture is put away in small jars or pots
for use. Like all arsenica prepara-
tions, this is very dangerous in the
hands of unskilled persons, therefore
an efficient substitute composed of /
poung white curd soap and pounds
whiting boiled together, to which is
added, while hot, IL ounces chloride
Of lime, and. when cold, l ounce tine
ture of musk. This mixture is safe to
use wnen cold, although when hot the
fumes should not be inhaled.

What Do We See?

A certain speaker was asked to
talk to company of business men
about the depression. He tackled UP
big sheet of paper; with his lead
pencil he made a black spot on the
paper, then asked a man in the front
row what he saw. The man replied
promptly, "A black spot" The
speaker asked each in turn to an
swer and the reply was the same,
"A black spot" That was what he
expected. Then with calm and de-
liberate emphasis, he said, Eyes,
there is a little black spot, but none
of you saw the big sheet of paper.
That's my speech. Now you can go
home"
The big sheet Of paper represents
our opportunities, our blessings, and
the challenge of today and the to-
morrows. Matthew Arnold wrote of
Wordsworth that he saw ''life
steadily and saw it whole" That in
spring phrase expresses wisely the
comprehensive conception of life
we all need. We see the obstacles,
the clouds and the depressions. Are

The Ecuadorian Government

President General Jose Maria Ur-
vina served as the seventh head Of the
Ecuadorian government from Septem-
Der 6, 1852, until October 16, 1896. It
was during his term of office that the
sixth Constitution, adopted at Guaya-
quill on July II, became effective Oc-
tober 2, 1852. The efforts Of Bolivar to
maintain the greater Republic Of Co.
l0mbia, formed at the time of the re-
volt from Spanish rule, came to an end
In 1880. Venezuela and Ecuador both
set up separate governments. How
ever, it wasn't until 1885 that the name
"Republica del Ecuador was adopted.
and the second Constitution adopted.
Since that time the various Presidents
have had great difficulty in effecting
any real progressive measures, caused
by the necessity of fighting to main
tain their power by arms.-Philadel-
phia Record.
Pure Iron Unknown
Although about 7OO,OOO,OOO tons of
iron are in use in the United States,
not an ounce of chemically pure iron
has ever been produced, states writer
In the New York Herald Tribune. If
the production of quantity of pure
iron could be accomplished, a revolu-
ton in the iron and steel industries
would be likely to result from it's in
vestigation. The properties of pure
iron are unknown and are merely
guessed at on the basis of samples of
high degrees of purity. The purest
samples produced show unusual prop
critics. Those made by methods used
for determining the atomic weight Of
iron, by publication in a hydrogen
flame, are immune to rust. Even when
placed In pure water and oxygen for
several months they showed NO sign
Of rusting.
