H Non-Freezing Lake HI Gives Farmer Idea B\ Geneva. N. Y.?Farmer Dell had H lip-eat idea.

The lake seldom freezes, despite I the fact that surrounding waters I are sheets of Ice. Only In the most I severe cold spells will the lake deI velop more than skim ice. Farmer Dell's Idea, as he later , admitted, wns to fill the radiator of his automobile with Lake Seneca water, and save the cost of purI chasing non-freezing agents. To his surprise, the water which I not freeze in Lake Seneca I turned in ice so quickly during a I zero cold wave that the radiator I burst in several places. final discharge I h hereby given that one month from this date, on August 13th, P35. i w;!j make to the Probate Court of Ker.sh.au- County my final return ^Administrator of the estate of W. |^I)av'-- deceased, and on the same I v. in apply to the said Court r?i" nr.a! discharge as said Administrator.

They seenped to understand each other perfectly. jUCk was never kicked nor beaten, but controlled wholly through kind words Ab time went on Mr. Hetherington's business grew to the point where he was mining hundreds of tons of coal a day Mr. Hetherington In the meanbad been a shrewd business man. H0 invested his money In many | Paying ventures. His eight acres inI creased to 800, he owned shares in glass works; owned some thirty houses and a number of steamboats i t lat plied up and down the Ohio , River. He could not read the names on his own steamboats, but he knew them by sight. About the year 1870 Mr. Hetherington built a palatial residence on the banks of the Ohio, said to have cost over $35,000, a huge sum for that day He always call it "The House that Jack built," for he attributed his good fortune to. his faithful little partner of early days. By this time Jack was 28 years old, sleek, fat and retired from active business. Mr. Hetherington dedicated the house to Jack and from the keystone of the arch over the doorway projected the head of a mule, a likeness of Jack. After the house was completed and furnished, Mr. Hetherington held a house warming to which his neighbors and friends were invited. lu the presence of the assembled company, Mr. Hetherington led his faithful mule, Jack, all over the house and explained every detail to him. and of course Jack understood in his mule way. Jack lived many years longer to die at last of old age. He was forty years old at the time of his death, a venerable old mule whose hair had turned almost snow white. While Jack received the best of care during his last sickness, his time was opt. Mr. Hetherington was genuinely grieved at the loss of his partner and for many years later lie would show visitors Jack's grave under an apple tree and relate his many virtues. Although unlearned and perhaps eccentric on some points, Jacob Hetherington was a man of line character as evidenced by his strong affection for bis little partner, Jack. He showed one of the noblest attributes of man, kindness and gentleness toward one the least of God's creatures, aj humble ninie who understood his mas-( tor and probably appreciated his consideration. Fred B. Johnson in Dumb Animals. The notorious Fred Erwin Beal. who was one of the central figures in the tragic episode at Gastonia, N. C? several years ago, culminating in the murder of Chief of Police O. F. Aderholt, is back in this country, after a sojourn in Bolshevik Russian, and if the New York authorities honor the extradition demands, will be brought back to Gastonia to serve the sentence imposed upon him by Judge Barnhlll in 1929. Beal didn't find Communism In Russia the roseate, dream that he had pictured it to Gastonia textile operatives, and prefers America, with a penitentiary sentence hanging over his head, to the land that he once described as the modern Utopia.

To Build Gold Vault In Kentucky I - - j I?ouisviile, Ky , July 15.?ConstrueLtlon Is scheduled soon on u iiuw under-ground vault in the center of Fort I Knox, Federal army post, thirty miles from Ixmlsville. This new treasury storehouse Is being built in Hue with the Federal government's policy of moving lis gold reserves to inland points sufe from possible future Invasion. The Fort Knox vault will be corn | structed In a manner designed to be practically impregnable, A labyrinth of passuges to which only one or two heavily guarded exits will give access are being constructed below j the ground in the center of the fort. Becuuse of its location, the new Federal gold storehouse is ideally situated for defense from the standpoint of military strategy, it would be almost inaccessible to invuders who { would have to cross over the Appa-i luchians, an obstacle for land forces and a recognized hazard for any air i armada. in addition, the new headquarters] of the air forces squadron is located j at l^angley Field, Yu., a comparatively, short distanced away J>y air. Fort Knox is one of the best equip-j fped of the army's defense units and houses the only mechanized cavalry j troop. This was believed a consideration of United States treasury of-' | 1 I ficials in its selection as the site of a new gold vault. Transfer of more than $3,000,000 in gold bullion from San Francisco to Denver has been under way for some time. This move is also part of the I plan to remove the huge gold reserve from vulnerable coast cities. Another consideration behind the transfer of the San Francisco gold reserve was the danger resulting from frequent earthquakes in that area. The task of moving the bullion is an enormous one. A 14-inch gold cube weighs a ton. Extreme care must be taken to guard against loss in transit and every precaution is required to protect the precious metal. ) Plans for the new vault at Fort Knox are scheduled to be completed by August 1. Preliminary work la now under way and actual transfer of the bullion will take place as soon as the new "treasure chest" of the government is completed. Plans for j the project call for expenditure of. about ^450,000. An office building will be erected over the vault. France has already constructed one' of the most elaborate treasure vaults | in the world. Safety devices of every conceivable nature protect the French gold reserve. Use Ice To Test Blood Pressure Spokane, Wash.?Science now uses a bucket of Ice water to determine whether a person will develop high blood pressure years afterward. The method, described by Dr. George Hrowu of the Mayo clinic at the annuul convention of the Northwest Medical Association here, wus explained by fellow scientists today. Ice water is employed to give the subject u simple shock while ills blood pressure Is being taken with a standard instrument. If Ills blood pressure is normal and registers a raise ?of 30 to 100 millimeters, ho is set'down us a "hyerreactor"?one likely to develop high blood pressure. If his blood pressure already is high there will be u "super-reaction" also. In ih?? first place, Dr. Hrowu explained. persons who have high blood pressure have a superreuct ion to emotion and physical stimuli; and those of normal blood pressure who have such u super-reaction are potential victims of the malady, "We are prepared to say that a person's blood pressure reaction to environment is as fixed as his finger print," Dr. Hrown said. "It stays with him throughout life. We inherit blood pressure reactions Just us we inherit the color of eyes or hair or the shape of the nose, nothing changes it." The Japanese navy Is asking the parliament of Japan to appropriate $178,4X0,000, the largest sum ever ask-1 ed for naval uses. Arrested -For \ Rochester Fraud Colufnhla, July 10. ?

One in Missouri, Where They Mostly) Come F\rom, Takes Record for Age People hereabouts talk about mules 30-odd years old as record breakers for longevity. Hut one who was accldently killed recently, in Missouri, where most of the mules get their start in life, at the uge of 64 years. ' The Alexandria, Mo., correspondent of The Kahoktt Gazette, a perfect lady of high standing in her home town, writes about that mule as, follows: The old mule after living to the ripe old age of 04 was bitten in the pasture by a rattlesnake on the lip where the rattler was on the levee. The mule was raised by K. T.
