H Non-Freezing Lake
HI Gives Farmer Idea
B\ Geneva. N. Y.?Farmer Dell had
H lip-eat idea.
H / The fanner's Inspiration came
H I from a peculiarity of Seneca lake,
I one of the state's most famous
beauty spots.
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.

a led, mined his own coal with the
help of his silent, but active little
Partner. Jack was indeed a "little
partner for he stood only Jj 1-2 feet
high. As time went on an unusually
j strong affection grew between the
man and the mule. 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

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.

U. S. 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."

HOWS THIS FOR AGED MULE?

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. Hartruff
and sold to the Keokuk Canning
company In 1K84 and when they
[ thought her too old to do their work
they traded the teum to Percy Dickson
and at his sale 20 years ago, when
mules were high Cort It. Itebo purchased
the span for $100 on account
of their age.
The other mule died some ten years
ago and "Jennie" was sleek and fat
