ECONOMIC WORTH
OF PROJECTS HIT.

Questioned.

~ the Associated Press.
BOSTON, October Henry Earle
Riggs of Michigan today told the
American Society of Civil Engineers,
which dominated him yesterday for
It's presidency, that "we will fail in
our duty" if we do not advise the
people of the United States as to the
economic soundness of proposals to
spend vast sums on public works"
Riggs declaration was seconded by
Daniel w. Mead, past president of the
society, who said engineers would be
doing "less than their duty" if they
hesitated to discuss many ILL
conceived and unwarranted public and
semi-public works undertaken by the
Federal administration since the be-
ginning Of the depression"
Urges Counting of Costs.
Riggs discussed the hazards of
uneconomic public works construc-
ton" Calling the role of such prof.
ects as Passamaquoddy, in Maine, the
Tennessee Valley Authority, the Flor
ida Canal, the Fort Peck Dam and
Vic SOulCC plOJCINo O11 Vic W.
lumbia River, he asserted "the Nation
will do we'll to count the cost of the
great program"
Riggs said his study of the projects
made him decidedly pessimistic as to
the outcome OF the many and large
projects which the Government has
undertaken during the past four
years"
The whole question, he declared
"comes down to a question of en-
gineering economics" with conditions
in the United States today calling for
hard-headed economy, careful analysis
OF every proposal to spend money
raised by taxation and firm rejection
of any program not economically
sound.
Public Understanding Sought.
Mead, discussing Engineering Eco
nomics and Public Opinion" demand
ed an informed public opinion to pre-
vent such ill-considered and extrava-
CANT projects"
He said the Governments day-labor
expenditures had greatly" harmed the
construction industry which, under
normal conditions and when running
at normal rates, would employ in ad-
dition to the number now engaged in
construction work an additional force
fully equal to the number now on the
relief rolls"
Characterizing the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority as utterly ill-advised
and unwarranted," Mead declared If
there is any honest and intelligent de-
fense for the expenditure of approxi-
mately half billion dollars which is
apparently now being largely wasted
In the Tennesse Valley it should GER
tainly be made manifest"

The ability to understand mathe-
matical problems indicates one of the
highest of all forms of intelligence.
Lewis Terman, we'll known psycholo-
gist of Leland Stanford University.
who has devoted many years to in
vestigating this subject, defines in
telligence as the capacity for abstract
thinking. Mathematics involves abb
stract thinking. 1t demands reasoning,
rather than mere memory. Some of
the greatest intellects of all time be-
longed to men with mathematical
minds: Calico, the great physicist
and astronomer; Sir Isaac Newton.
who discovered the law of gravitation;
Descartes. French philosopher and
mathematician; Pascal. another French
philosopher; Madame Curie. the dis
coverer of radium.
If we may judge by the number of
students who fail in it, mathematics
is one of the most difficult subjects
taught in our schools. In New York
City high schools Is per cent of the
children have been failing in mathe-
matical subjects. This compares with
l8 per cent failing in natural history.
Is per cent in English and 12H per
cent in history.
Einstein, whose mind can soar into
spaces of abstract thought where only
a handful of people can follow. has a
mathematical mind.

Will give satisfactory ACCOUNT Vi
itself on TIE golf course. OF course,
for pictures of fast action you should
have a camera with fast lens and
shutter, but there are plenty of
picture-taking opportunities for the
owner of less pretentious equipment.
Obviously. results depend much
on the man behind the gun" his
ability to recognize picture posi-
bility; his sense of composition and,
by no means of little importance, his
knowledge of his camera.
For example. if your camera has a
top shutter speed of, say. l 400 of
second, don't try to stop the action of
a player as he swings his club for
record breaking drive. 1t simply can't
be done. The arms and club will show
up as a blur. You'll need a shutter
speed from 800 to 1900 of
second to stop such action if you are
close to your subject. But it is pos
sible to snap a successful picture at
the time of the preliminary "waggle,"
at the top" of the action or at the
finish of the swing.
Extreme action shooting, however,
is only one possibility out of hundreds
that present themselves on the golf
course. Snapshots of you and your
friends addressing the ball on the tee
for the first drive; on the fairway; in
the sand trap; the approach shot to
the green; putting on the green, etc,
will often show up faults and thereby
help you and your friends improve
their game. And the snapshots will
recall many humorous - and sad"
- experiences.
And if you are interested in "off
guard" or candid shots of your friends
the golf course is an ideal place to get
them, so take your camera along.

For Snopshooters

A knoll by the green furnished the
elevation for the fascinating snapshot
above. The long shadows, which add
so much to the interest of the pic
ture, indicate that it was snapped late
in the afternoon. And considering the
detail and depth of the field - or
focus - the snapshooter undoubtedly
used a small lens aperture and a
rather slow shutter speed. Try this
type of snapshooting. If you give it a
little tho light you will get some very
pleasing results.
Qvsstions From Snopskootsss
Question: We haze some very old tin
types that are family heirlooms - and
a "snapshooting" problem. in eonnec-
tion Oith them. We Uant to make pic
tu1es and enlarse1en1s Of them. Can
you gre Us directions that sOiN keep rs
out Of trouble and eive US eood results?
IN. E. d.
Answer: If you own camera that
has a long bellows extension. so that
the front can be pulled out until the
lens is twice as far from the film as it
is when photogaphing distant objects.
then you can work close enough to the
tintypes to copy them full size.
Evening star., 1937-06-20

If the tintypes are somewhat yel-
lowish, it may be we'll to use super
sensitive film and deep yellow filter.
such as the &C" filter. This filter will
require an increase of about 2H times
in the exposure with film by daylight.
or 2 times by tungsten light.
1t would be we'll to have one light
on each side of the camera, and shaded
so as not to shine back toward the lens.
The light may be used within perhaps
a foot or two of the picture being
copied. If all of the light comes from
one side, there will be more chance of
getting grain in the new negative.
After you once have the negative
you can, of course, make an enlarge
ment from it.

M. A. J.-Tell me in the column
if my brother died a natural death
for I have been worried about it a
good while.
Ans: There was nothing unnat-
ural about the death of your
brother. He did not have any en-
emies and no one in particular was
responsible for his passing on. Re-
lieve your mind of any thoughts of
this nature for they are grOundless.
M. V. Pr stay sad and broken
hearted all the time. Tell me, is it
best to do what the old man has
asked me to do?
Ans: Absolutely not. Why do
you want to marry someone years
older than yourself when you know
for fact that you LOVE AN
OTHER MAN. Don't cut your own
nose off to spite your face for
it is you who must live with the
man. Wait on your lover and give
up the idea of marriage.
L. C. ST. placed my application
for a job out of this city and I
want to know if will get it? An
swer right away.
Ans: Yes, you will get the job
:. in fact I believe that you are
already EMPLOYED at this time.
Make an effort to save a part of
your salary this year for you should
have no trouble nor deprive your
self one bit if you put up about
half of what you make.
o. WI want you to tell me if
my husband will take me and the
children to live with him any time

soon?
Ans: He isn't financially pre-
pared to offer you and the children
a home at this particular season.
Try to shoulder the burden for an
other few months and your hus-
band will be in a better position to
offer you and the little ones a home.
S. S.-One night l went out with
a fellow and fell in love with him.
1 tell him I love him each time I
see him and I want to know when
he is going to go with me regu-
larly?
Ans: Never if you don't stop

in his company. You have caused
this boy to lose interest in you.

don't allow it to bite you to the ex-
tent that you must give away your
secrets.
L. I. B.-There are several col
leges in my mind that I am inter-
ested in attending and can't make
up my mind. How must + decide
the question?
Ans: Write for full particulars
from each of the colleges and you
will be furnished with pamphlets
and written matter from all so that
you can come to some decision be-

White shoes, white dresses and
bright summer colors are In the
fashion spectrum now. Not even
the northern-most residents of our
country are still confined to the
somber hues of winter. In Dixie, of
course. the frills of summer have
frightened the scene for several
weeks.
But how about you? Have you
frightened up yourself? Have you
given yourself your spring house
cleaning? There is probably no
time more than in summer when a
person can be at her best-Or at
her worst. And the nice thing about
it is. the difference is up to our
selves to determine.
SIMPLE ROUTINE
A simple routine is the answer to
most of our grooming problems. as
has been pointed out repeatedly in
this column. Habit governs so many
of our actions. Why then not make
our grooming routine part of our
daily habits. Let me suggest a
"daily dozen" for the benefit of
your appearance and your comfort
during the summer months.
: l. Rise after eight hours sleep.
A cooling bath. tub or shower.
2. Brisk rub with coarse towel.
3. Sprinklins of busting powder.
4. Brisk workout for the hair
and an off-the-face hair-dresS.
5. Include your usual powder
base.
6. Pat cold cream. or eye cream,
around your eyes to prevent sum-
mer-wrinkles."
Z. Apply cosmetics. to your usual
taste-but you'll find it preferable
to use less cosmetics in summer
than in winter.
8. Dress in bright. light. com,
Portable clothing. Sandals. if you
have them. You're ready for the
morning!
9. Lunch time! Remove all make.
up and start over again. Cold
cream your face. A dash Of cold
water. Then cosmetics and you're
set for the afternoon.
10. Home again. Get comfortable.
whatever you do. Then. before 60
ing out for the evening. by all
means, another cooling shower or
tub. Take fifteen minutes for re-
Taxation. Just loaf.
II. A change Of clothing and out
into the evening air. Try. to locate
a breeze and stay in it.

Health and
Hygiene
By DR.. w. D. Brown
Standardization

During the last few years the
public has been bombarded with
advice on attaining and maintain
ing good health. The magazine,
the newspaper, and the radio have
all been employed to carry a mes
sage to all who would listen or
read. Many of the facts presented
have been useful, but also many
have been misleading because of
commercial interests.
The purpose of all medical
knowledge to be disseminated to
the public should be to abolish su-
perstition and to teach basic scien-
tifc facts about health and dis
ease. However, often the most
thrilling radio program or the
most sensational magazine article
leads the recipient to believe that
there is some shortcut to health
via some electrical contraption or
some patent medicine.
The most important fact to be
learned about an ailing body is the
underlying cause of the disorder.
The headache, the constipation, the
unhealed ulcer, and the many other
things that we see or feel have a
definite cause. Graduating the eff
feet does not cure the cause. If
such a procedure were successful,
then the use of narcotic would
cure three-fourths of all ills.
The ravages of most all diseases
can be prevented or mitigated by
early measures used toward those
ends. The postponement of such
measures often changes a simple
condition to a serious one. The
constant use of some powder for
"acidosis" may be making some
stomach disorder incurable. A
constipation may be due to some
abnormal abdominal growth. A
headache powder may only be cas-
ing the effects of brain disorder,
which will continue to operate I'M
til help is too late.
Be health conscious, but be sane
enough to remember that, "He
who treats himself has a fool for
a DOCTOR"

FORUM CLOSES

The closing meeting of the Min
neapois Sunday Forum last Sun
day at the Phyllis Wheatley House
equalled in interest any held during
the year. Mrs. A. Mcfarland of
st. Paul was the speaker. Her dis
course on Tolerance" provoked a
discussion that was at once valu-
able and interesting. Mr.. Sham
we'll, president, gave thanks to all
who had helped the Forum during
the term just ended, and in turn
he and other officers of the body
were given a vote of appreciation
for the excellent services rendered.

CREAMS IMPORTANT
You don't like the idea of the
creams? Now let me explain why
they are important for every WON
an. in summer even more than in
winter. Summer heat and drynesS

as we'll as on the hair (See my
next cOlumn). 1t dries II out. Dry
ness causes wrinkles. SD to prevent
summers toll. think ahead and use
the creams. They are really not
so uncomfortable; they only sound
that way. Moreover a good powder
base is especially important in sum
mer for appearances sake alone.
Some women tell me that they
like to forget all cosmetics In the
summer. They are sticky. they con-
tend. They make one feel hotter
| can sympathiZe with the woman
who feels that way. but cannot
sympathiZe with her if she lets II
get the best of her. She will be
very. very sorry if she finds her
skin dry and wrinkle-marked at the
end of the summer. a condition that
makes her look older than she
really is.
NO EXCUSES. NOW
will admit that it is chore
to do anything consistently in the
summer We are prone to sit and
let the world go by. I've been
guilty of that myself. But the above

time. Tell me if the course I am
taking now in school will do me
any good?
Ans: There isn't any doubt but
what it viii help you. Although in
order to get immediate employ
ment there are other courses that
would probably take less time to
complete. Talk this matter over
with one of your instructors-they
would be happy to advise you.
E. P.-There is girl that lives
IN front of my door and I want to
know if there is anything between
my husband and her?
Ans: They aren't friends but
l will admit that your husband is
attracted by this charming young
lady. Take stock of yourself .
and then watch this young lady and
you will be able to get some very
helpful hints from her on charm.
Your husband admires beautiful
and attractive points in anyone.
A. P. S.-Please tell me if you
think that my daughter is going to
get any better?
Ans: Yes -. with the good care
that she is receiving now, it will
only be a short period of time until
she is strong and well again.
E. D. C.-Will I ever get my
song published and also get a sale
for it? What must I do?
Ans: Submit it to some publisher
and they will tell you what prOce-
dure you must take in order to get
it on the market. Whether it will
sell or not is different story for
they won't have anything to do
with this part of the bargain.
N. HI am in love with a fellow
and we are of the same age. Tell
me, does he care for me and what
lies in the future?
Ans: He does love you, but
hasn't made up his mind whether
he desires to enter marriage. Give
him little encouragement and he
will surely pop the question. You
could be very happy together as
you seem to understand one an
other.
A. M. T.-What is the matter
with my boy friend? Is the fault
in me or in him?
Ans: Nothing is wrong with
him and there isn't any blame to be
put on either of you. He doesn't
love you enough for marriage and
is willing to admit it to you. Don't
depend on him for a husband. Make
friends with some of the other
young men in your city.
