visiting stars. Where others have
been glamorous, vivacious, highly
gifted in beauty or talent, Miss
Lamour introduces the exotic note.
Rated by virtually no critics as
q menace to Bette Davis or the
memory of Eleanora Duse, Miss
Lamour nevertheless has won her
self lofty place among the oomph
girls Of the cinema. Such indeed
is her flair for looking sultry that
no tropical picture is atmosphere

ingly, Miss Lamour has operated

in those Of several other producers,
the most notable of them Samuel

chore which she performed for
Goldwyn, and next to the big wind
she was the most terrific thing in
it.
Within the limits of her genius,
a high suitability to the exotic,
which includes a throaty, drowsy
voice, Miss Lamour has scored
tremendous success in terms Of box

In quality. Combined with a per-
sonality free from mannerisms, other
prima donnas often indulge in for
the sake of effect, this artist dis
closed unsuspected possibilities her
role offered. Her facial expression
and her gestures always were in
keeping with her impersonation in
which filial devotion was ever pre-
eminent. There was sentiment and
spontaneity in her first greeting of
her ffther in the garden of her
home, while in the scene with him
in the dukes palace her movements
always eloquently reflected her emo
tions. A new thoughtful note was
sounded in her interlude with the
duke and In the famous Caro-
Nome" area, which she sang free
from any display, reaching out for
the high registers with ease and
naturalness. Her high 'E's" were
noted for their purity and the many
ovations she received during the eve

art.

Engineers Seek Ways to
Build Solid Foundations

Tests with the object Of construct
ing buildings that will not settle are
being conducted under the auspices
OF the Engineering foundation.
Prof. Gregory P. Tschebotareff Of
Princeton university, who is head
ing part of the studies, said build
ings constructed on rock-such as
in New York-do not present prob
lem to engineers.
But not to all Cities" he said
ARE equally fortunate to have in
many places rock within easy reach
from the ground surface"
He cited Shanghai. New Orleans
and Mexico City as examples where
soft soil deposits handicap the en-
gineer.
Rock lies at such depths" he
said. that it cannot be reached by
any known foundation method In
such cases. considerable settle
ments become unavoidable In
Shanghai, one-foot settlement is con-
sidered quite normal for buildings
founded on piles driven into the riv
er mud
In Mexico City, which holds the
world championship for the most
difficult foundation and soil condi-
tions-soft mud 600 feet deep
heavy buildings resting on concrete
RATS coating on the surface of that
mud have been known to sink about
nine feet into the ground"
Tschebotareff said there were lin
Vulnerable soils" which would settle
under pressure and said the extent
and manner" of yielding varied
greatly.
For instance, when a sand layer
supports load and when no
trenches have been dug nearby
which would permit its lateral yield
ing" he said, the sand would only
be slightly compressed in itself.
This compression would occur in the
early stage of construction.
"A clay layer saturated with wa
ter would behave quite differently
under similar conditions. The wa
ter filing the voids of the clay would
be expelled from them only grad
ua1ly due to the fine grained and
therefore impermeable nature of
the type of soil.
las result the often consider
able compression of such clay
layer would proceed very slowly.
Structures erected on thick clay de-
posts have been known to settle FOR
many years, the rate of subsistence
slowing down little by ittle.''

You Heard 1t
On the Radio
But Got the Wrong Idea
About Old Age
Pensions

Inc impression seems rathef
general in Dickinson County that
large amount Of money is now
available for ''Old Age Pensions"
Daily, the local Department Of
Public Welfare receives inquiries
concerning the pensions for peo-
pie over sixty-fve years of age.
The inquiries say that they have
learned over the radio and through
the newspapers that all old people
would begin "to draw after the
first Of January 1910.
The Superintendent of Public
Welfare would like to correct this
misleading impression for the ben
eft of all concerned. Many aged
persons are being cruelty deceived
by these reports. The State De-
paltment of Public Welfare allo-
Gates a certain amount to the
counties and cities of the state
each year for the relief of the old
and needy. The state ALLEGATION
allows Dickinson County $437.3e
each month for Old Age Assist
ance. 1t is expected that there
will be a small increase after
July 1, 1910. All of the money
now available is being spent each
month. 1t is given to persons
whose need is expected to be per-
manent. There is a waiting list
of more than thirty old and needy
persons at this time.
It is believed that the operation
of the Social Security Act is what
the people have heard about. The
Social Security Board will shortly
begin payments to persons who
have retired from industry at the
age of sixty-fve. Of course, these
persons. must have been working
~. must have been paying a per-
centage of their wages into the
funds being built up. Mr.. Loan
PROCTOR, manager of the Social
Security Regional Office at Bris-
tol, Virginia, will be in Clintwood
at the Welfare Office on the third
Thursday of each month to inter-
view those who are eligible for
retirement benefits. ONLY THOSE
WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING
AND PAYING INTO THE So
CIAL SECURITY FUND need ap-
ply to Mr.. Proctor for benefits.

that our opponents do not wish to

1882 and early 1893. Many a family

of torture and despair for millions,

Republican prosperity.
