years. perhaps for all times except
in cases where the monuments are
disturbed. So that in actual prac-
tice no point in the country will
be more than a few miles at most
from a control monument. Ang sur
vey that begins and ends on these
monuments and is adjusted to them
will be consistent with every other
survey similarly executed in the
United States, Canada and Mexico.
The importance of the control
surveys of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey that are being run at stra-
tegic points throughout the coun-
try cannot be overestimated.
Just imagine the situation if there
were no control surveys! Each 10
cal survey, whether by a mining
company, county engineer, railroad,
highway engineer, would set its own
bench marks. Then each conflicting
organization might, in given re-
gion, assume an elevation for one
of its monuments to suit its own
selfish purpose. To prevent such
confusion the Coast and Geooerlc
Survey is executing a network of
triangulation to cover the entire
United States. This network joins
with similar networks of Canada
and Mexico.
The most precise measurement Of
distance ever made in the world
was that achieved by the survey Of
DR.. A. A. Nicholson some years ago

ity Of light over the course between

1t is a novel kind Of triangulation
survey, developed by the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey,
with headquarters in Washington.
Triangulation simply means the de-
termining of locations by means Of
distance and light angles.
In other words this is new phase
of system of surveying by means
of which the distances and direc-
tions between stations can be deter.
mined and the latitude and longi-
tude computed. It is based on the
fundamental principle that If the
length of one side of a triangle is
known and the angles of q chain
of triangles are determined, the
length of the other sides can be
computed.
Since the surveyors know the
shape and size of the earth with
great accuracy. they are able with
the angle measurements and the
computations to compute the longi-
tude and latitude Of each of their
triangulation stations.
Triangulation Necessary.
Triangulation is just as necessary

Results Of Summer
 Round-Ups Studied
Dental Defects Found in 1919 of I7OO Children
 Examined as Preliminary to Attending School

At the ninety seven summer round-ups, which have just been completed in the state under the sponsorship of local parent teacher associations, over seventeen hundred children who are to enter school for the first time were given dental ex- aminations, 1t was announced in the weekly bulletin of the State Depart ment of Health. The importance of adequate and suitable food, mouth hygiene and dental care to the de- velopment of sound teeth was called to the attention of mothers in att tendance, and they were advised to have any dental defects that were fonnd in the children corrected as soon as possible. The formation of a solid foundation for health during the early years of life helps to de- velop health practices that are in- valuable in later life, the bulletin pointed out.
 While dental defects were found in 1919 children and over twelve hundred had their teeth cleaned, the most valuable part of the dental ex- aminations at the summer round- ups, according to the bulletin, is the opportunity of discussing with moth- CTS the value of proper care of the teeth and the importance of milk, green leafy vegetables, fruit and coarse breads and cereals in the daily diet. Teeth improperly formed in childhood are prone to decay quickly unless repaired early.

ident of National W. o. T. U., an- nounced here that petitions now are being distributed to more than 10,- GOO local w. 0. T. U. units through out the United States.
 Only American women over 18 years of age will be allowed to sign.
 This worldwide, group effort of women to guarantee peace was orig mated by the w. c. T. U. of Eng land and Wales in late April. It was an outgrowth of President Roosevelt's peace" message to the nations of Europe.
 Sponsorship of the petition in the United States follows the W. c. T. us 65-year dedication to the cause of international peace, which was voiced first in the Unions Declara- ton of Principles adopted at its or- ganization meeting in Cleveland in 1874.
 Recently the National W. c. T. U. has cooperated in 8 move for "End- less Prayer for Peace." Last month the Union sponsored 8 nationally observed Peace Sunday" on June Il.
 The present "peace petition" re- calls the first similar activity of the National w. c. T. U., which early in its history secured American sig natures to worldwide, polyglot pe- tition calling on all national gov- ernments to prohibit the manu- facture and use of alcohol and opium.
 50 Languages
 This petition, when completed, bore the signatures of millions in nations speaking 50 different lan- guages. During its journeys to the various national capitols 1t was pre- sented to President Cleveland in Washington. It now is on display at Rest Cottage on the W. 0. T. U. grounds at Evanston. A leader in securing this petition was Frances E. Willard, outstanding Nineteenth Century figure and one-time w. c. T. U. president, whose centenary year now is being observed inter- nationally.
 The peace petltlOn readS:
 "We, the women of many lands, believing that war and violence can bring neither Peace nor Happiness to the nations, hereby Gall for a world conference of the peoples of the world, where any discontents, injustices or misunderstanding amongst nations from whatever cause arising, may be examined and settled by reason and methods of justice in the spirit of good will and of any necessary self-sacrifice on the part of some nations, so that universal disarmament and last ing World Peace may be secured"
 More than 15,0o0 pieces are ex- pected to be included in the Amer ican peace petition when 1t is col- lected, Sept. 1, at National W. c. T. U. headquarters in Evanston.

 Effective TOday-Papers to Be Signed August

The vote by the board of aldermen to accept offers totalling $20,000 for the former American Ring Co. prop erty on Bank street became official ly effective today, as the To-day per- iod within which it could have been vetoed ended without any action by Mayor Frank Hayes. The necessary papers in the transaction will be signed when the city takes title to the property Aug. 6.
 Mayor Hayes said yesterday after noon that he had no intention of vetoing the aldermanic vote, de- claring that he felt the action was a responsibility of the board and something in which he should not interfere. If the aldermen saw fit to accept the $20,000 offer, he said, he would accept their judgment.
 Complaints had been made against the boards action because of the fact that in accepting the $20.000 offer, it accepted a lesser sum. than had been offered some months ago for the property. Miss Sylvia Baurer, broker, protested that she had offered $22,500, less 5 per cent commission, but that her
