Standardized Partitions

II you are planning a house in
terror remodeling it is well to re-
member that you can buy standard
lied wood partitions in all popular
woods and finishes. Such partitions
frequently come in two heights-7
feet 4 inches and feet 6 inches.
Each is made up Of three units with
the space between the top Of the
third unit and the ceiling filed with
a soundproof transom. All units are
SO inches wide. Individual panels
are 2B inches thick, built on frames
with two 1s-inch layers of acousti-
cal material on the inner side, and
are embraced with two three-ply
layers Of plywood. Doors are sound
proof with the base panel water and
mop-proof. Partitions of this type
are easily assembled and made rig
i'd with screws and full-length posts
Of special construction. Wiring goes
through the end posts at either the
upper cornices or the base.

Indian Medicine Men
Charge Doctors Fee

Western Americas Paiute Indian
medicine men Of California, or sha-
mans, as they are called in their
native language, have now become
so modernized that they charge reg
ular doctors fees for casting out
evil spirits and other native medi-
cal treatment.
Furthermore, so strictly modern
are these shamans in this respect,
that their fee Is SIS, where formerly
they were glad to accept a few
seeds.
This fact was established by DR..
Isabel T. Kelly Of the anthropologi-
cal department Of the University of
California, who has completed an
extensive study Of the few remain
ing tribes Of the Paiute Indians in
Nevada and southern California.
The bulk of her information was
gathered from the tribes that still
exist in the vicinity Of Las Vegas,
New.
The shaman practitioners who
have become modernized to the ex-
tent of SIS fees for treatment were
those of the Kaibab group in the
high plateaus and the Grand canyon
region Of Utah. asfs~~s- sa:s'

with the program. Tuesday night
the Council had met to add to
preparatory work for her coming.
After her complete review Of the
Sank Centre Scouting picture, Miss
Croker will spend all day Satur-
day with the lone troops with a
luncheon at noon. The lone troops
are those groups from surrounding
smaller communities whose repre-
sentatives of Girl Scouting will
gather here, Business sessions viii
be held in the Junior high auditor
ium. Miss Leota Abbot, of the
Home School faculty is in charge
of the lone troops in this district.
Her appointment Is of this year.
In the meantime troops them
selves will not be idle. The inter
mediate girls have announced a fine
project for book delivery service.
They are asking for the names of
all elderly people who cannot
reach the library. Provided with
these names they will deliver and
return books for the people. A girl
will be available by calling any of
the Girl Scout Council members
or any Girl Scout.
Thanks to the public for it's
fine response to the Scout benefit

There are ten definite fields Of
interests for the girls themselves"
Miss Croker explained, land as
many for the women who are need
ed to make the Girl Scout program
available for the increasing num-
Der Of girls who want to become
members Of the organization. Com
munity minded women, who real
ize the importance Of recreational
leadership and citizenship training
for young people at this time, can
find no better outlet for their time
and energy than that offered in Girl
Scouting" she continued.
There are more than $4,000 vol
unteer adults, including business
women, school teachers and nurses,
members Of the Junior League, and
housewives, who are enjoying stim-
ulating experiences and making a
definite contribution to their COM
munities and to the nation, in their
enthusiastic support Of the Girl
Scout movement. Those who pre-
fer to work with the girls, serve as
leaders. Others who prefer admin
istrative posts, serve as members
of troop committees, local councils,
regional committees and national
board.
due to their enthusiastic sup
port and cooperation, more than
half a million American girls are
the interests, habits and
attitudes which make for happy
social adjustments to a changing
world, and for their future par
ticipation in citizenship responsible

sweetness and quality about her
voice that blended pleasantly with
the softly accompanying band. In
the accomplishments Mr.. Howard
skillfully uses the soft tones of the
BASES modulating them to simu-
late the resonance of the string
counterpart. AS an addition to the
program, Miss Fursteneau was pre-
scented with two bouquets, one from
the band on its final concert Of the
weeks tour, and the other from
the sponsoring Sank Centre Wei
fare Council.
"Rhythms of Rio" featuring all
the percussion tempo instruments
associated with Latin American
music, and "A Childhood Fantasy"
nursery rhymes in modern idiom,
were received well. Gordon Erick-
son, who fascinated many with his
not-too-often-seen-h kettle drums
played a collection of selected num-
bers on the vibraphone. The in
strument lends beautifully to BELLS

"Stardust."
Best commentary on the different
band Mr.. Howard presents is this
statement, repeated often after the
concert TT doesn't really sound like
a band. It sounds more like
symphony"

Tactic Acid Into Rubber

Many forward strides in the utili-
cation Of waste products include
some Of promise to the lacquer and
varnish industry. One in particu-
lar deals with converting the Tactic
acid in dairy products into a SUBJ
stance known as polymethylacryl-
ate, rubberlike material, which,
in addition to being very tough and
elastic-is not subject to discolora-
ton by sunlight or ultraviolet rays.
This method will probably prove of
significance in the formulation of
lacquers, varnishes and impregnat-
ing compounds. If it proves COM
mercially practicable, source Of
low-cost lacquer and varnish ingre-
dents will have been found.

bled away their fortunes on green
topped tables in smoky saloons, is
all but buried today beneath the

lessor Of geology at the University
Of Tulsa (Oklahoma), painted that
picture in describing his experiences
in hiking trip from Skagway over
Chilkoot pass to Lake Bennett at
the headwaters Of the Yukon river
last year. A lone trapper lives in the
ghost area today. Sodden gray piles
Of lumber, almost completely over
grown with the dense Alaskan vege-
tation, mark former camp sites. Be-
meath tumbled roofs lie wreckage of
crudely made furniture, harnesses,
packs, wagon wheels, sleds, oars,
and other gear discarded after the
collapse Of the golden bubble.

Windows Are Important
In Appearance of Home

Windows are all-important in con-
trolling the outside appearance of a
home and its inside decorative eff
fects, as well as contributing to the
comfort and happiness Of the occu-
pants, according to a recent issue Of
leading builders magazine.
Some Of the newest home building
ideas for cutting costs and increas-
ing quality apply to windows. And
that is fortunate since the public
taste seems to be more and more
toward glass, cheerful interiors and
sunshine. Analysing the work Of
some Of the country's most success
full operative builders brings out the
fact that they are practically de-
signing their best selling houses
around its windows. In their most
profitable homes the windows are
something more than mere openings
in the wall. They have far greater
role than that Of letting light in and
keeping out wind and rain and snow.
They are utilized as one Of the most
effective Of sales points in focusing
attention of the prospect, whether
he's buyer or renter.
Picture windows decide many a
home sale by framing a favorite
view. Use of peach colored plate
glass often adds to the beauty of a
Scene. And picture window over
the sink or corner window may
be the means Of lifting that kitchen
to new plane Of beauty and cheer
the difference between a domes-
tic workshop of drudgery and an in
viting unit Of the home.

this an investment, rather than a

what can be done through coopera-

One Of the features of the pro-
gram, was the offering of the mixed
chorus, which sang Mr.. Kohls
newly published song, Symphony

ed by the composer and author
himself, and it was truly a fine
rendition of a beautiful song. Miss
Lillian Krogh, music instructor, di-
rected the chorus in a second num-
Der, Rain" and her work with the
young people was very favorably
reflected in that offering. Miss
Helen Ranstad sang God Bless
America" as the closing number,
and she was accompanied by Miss
Dorothy Wilson, both being men,
bers of the public school teaching
staff. 1t was fitting closing num-
Der for the program, and its rem
dition was truly pleasing and ex-
cellent.
During the day and before the
program in the evening, there was
"open house" at which time patrons
were asked to visit the new school.
Owing to weather conditions few
people were able to visit the school

Automatic Radio Signals
To Flash Flood Warning

Radio flashes soon will be the ulti-
mate In warnings Of flash floods
along the far-fung watershed OF the
lower Colorado river.
The Public Works administration
had announced that system of auto
matte radio signaling devices would
be installed to warn headquarters OF
the Lower Colorado River authority
In Austin. Texas, Of sudden changes
in the rivers stages.
The radio signals will supplement
a system Of 10 gauges continuously
recording fluctuations in the foot-sec-
ond flow of the treacherous Colorado.
The warning system has been
worked out to protect the interests
of landholders in the rivers water
shed and the facilities Of the giant
flood reduction and power produc-
ton project following completion Of
the $22, $4,000 PWA job next year.
The gauges already are in operation.
Five automatic radio broadcasters
will be installed. They and the
gauges already in use will be COM
plemented by reports from "a other
rainfall gauges being established in
the river drainage area. Some of
the rainfall gauges are as far as 800
miles from the nearest of the four
dams on the lower Colorado.
Because the lower Colorado is a
flash stream" sluggish one day
and torrent the next, it is neces-
sary to watch indications Of rise
and fall consistently to operate the
dams to obtain adequate flow for
consistent power production, and at
the same time provide proper
storage space for flood waters.
Much Of the experience now being
utilized in perfecting the flood warm
ings system was obtained by the riv-
er authority and PWA engineers dur
ing the disastrous Colorado river
floods Of late in the summer Of 1888,
when the torrent first went out Of
control in far western Texas, and
several weeks later spent itself by
pouring into the Gulf of Mexico.

Polarized Light Used
In Engineering Tests

Scientists are using shadows and
rainbows to prevent train wrecks,
floods and other disasters-by the
use Of polarized light to analyze
strains on bridges, dams and other
structures, according to Prof. M. S.
Ketchum of the Case School Of APP
piled Sciences, Cleveland. Ohio.
Until rainbow tests were applied
in testing bridges" said Ketchum,
assistant professor Of civil engineer
ing, many engineers grossly over
estimated the strength of materials
needed in certain parts Of the struc-
lures. They then were at loss to
explain why their work gave way
occasionally with disastrous results"
Ketchum explained that engineers
now make models of bridges of eel
luloid or other plastics, place
weights on them, shine polarized
light through the semi-transparent
model and observe the distortions
manifested in the form Of rainbow
shadows.
"The principle involved" he said,
"is that polarized light, which is
caused by the passage Of ordinary
light through polaroid crystals vi
brates in one plane only.
If this polarized light now is
passed through glass, gelatin or plas-
tics, it will cast a shadow similar
to rainbow. But when strain is
put on the material, the shadow is
distorted and the greatest distortion
occurs when the strain is greatest.
Thus it is very easy to see where
break would occur and where more
strength is required"
Ketchum tests models of machin-
cry, dams and other structures.
The models Of dams are made of
gelatin-sometimes as much as Is
pounds Of the material being melted
to make one model dam.

A kitchen can be efficient even

BEST PRECIPITATION
SINCE MARCH, 1884
Sleet Storm Disrupted
Communication and Power
Service Last Week

A sleet storm that disrupted
communication and power trans
mission most of the day Thurs
day put the lion in March. but
Sunday as the month passed into
oblivion the effect of the lamb was
much in evidence April in its in
ception was doing a notable job
in being lionized.
But March accomplished much
more than running the traditional
old saw. 1t brought to this COM
munity 2.27 inches of precipitation
for the best March fall since 1884.
Last Thursday and Friday alone,
the record shows, total OF 1872
inches fell over this community,
most of 1t quickly forming into
ice. In twenty-four hours from
Wednesday to Thursday "a of an
inch was recorded, and early Fri
day 68 of an inch had fallen.
The March moisture content Is
virtually the only moisture of any
consequence since last October
when 1859 inches fell. Months since
then have been notably dry.
Last Thursdays sleet storm
roared into this community on a
south wind that brought rain and
the earliest lightning and thunder
storm of the year. A change in
temperature coated everything in
ice. BY mid-afternoon this city
was cut off from its usual supply
of power. The Water, Light and
Power Commission resorted to it's
own generation, and by dividing
the power kept necessary equip
ment in running order.
1t was reported that hatcheries
here were loaded with eggs for the
spring hatch. Any sustained period
of power loss would have meant
disaster at that point, but by giving
them power every fifteen minutes
not an egg was lost.
Tree branches Uttered many Of
the streets, broken off by the
weight of ice and the shifting
wind. Pedestrian travel was dam
gerous and tumbles were not I'M
common.
At the telephone company by
mid-morning circuits were going
out. The sleet damage followed
hard on the Easter Sunday phe-
nomenon that found sun spots
disrupting communications.
