YAKIMA, WASH.?A year from this summer hundreds of soil-hungry settlers will be estalflishing themselves on small tracts of central Washington's Roza irrigation projects, preparing to make a living from ground that for decades bristled with sagebrush. They'll be moving in and erecting cabins even before water is available to turn their land into a productive state, but the chief construction engineer of the project, C. E. Crownover, said that is just what the U. S. reclamation bureau prefers. Water probably will not be available for the arid lands until the spring of 1941, Crownover said.However, the settlers can take up their tracts several months earlier and begin clearing them and building numerous ditch networks needed on each farm. Early Arrival Favored. "It's easy to see that this work must be done before the land will be fitted for irrigation waters," Crownover said. "The job will take time and there's no reason why the settlers can't do it before water from the main canal is available to them." Virtually all the difficult parts of the $15,000,000 project?started in 1935?have been completed or are under construction. When the unit is finished, it will complement the Yakima valley project, one of the largest reclamation sections in the world. When all gravity-flow and pump lands are connected to the Roza system, a total of 72,000 acres will be irrigated, providing farms for 1,800 families if the tracts were set aside 40 acres to the settler. The Roka is in addition to the Tieton, Sunnyside and Kittitas divisions of the Yakima valley project. The Roza's main canal will be completed to mile 45* with money now in the hands of the reclamation bureau. These funds also will finish the main diversion dam, now under construction at a cost of $525,000, and four spillways. Ditch to Run 100 Miles. The largest artery of the system will stretch 100 miles when it is completed. The lateral ditchworks will be built next summer. This may be ' done on small contracts or, to save money, the government may decide to put the Civilian Conservation corps on part of the Job. But indications are that local contractors will get the work. Those who want to settle on the reclaimed lands need not fear speculation, for the reclamation bureau ?through J. S. Moore, superintendent of the Yakima valley project? has begun to crack down on any landowners showing such an inclination. Moore has sent notices to 50 large holders directing them to *feell all ~l5Ut~I80-Bcresr"before water becomes available. The superintendent also has warrred owners that if any land is sold above its appraised value, half of the excess will go to the project's cost. 300,000 Dancers, Actors, Singers in Soviet Army MOSCOW.?Over 300,000 members of the Soviet army are trained as dancers, musicians, singers, actors, and poets. Every unit in the army and every \ warship in the navy has its choirs, orchestra and dramatic groups. : One of the soloists in the Moscow Grand Theater of Opera and Ballet, Vassilii Drovyannikov, is a former member of the Red army, where he received his original training in his art. The arts hold a prominent place in the life of the Soviet soldiers and sailors. In the daytime they spend their time in fields, at airdromes, in classrooms or on shooting ranges; in the evening they amuse themselves giving performances or watching the performances of others. Cycle Has Baby Trailer ASHTABULA, OHIO.?An engineering works employee has devised a "baby trailer" to be attached to bicycles. Mike Zalimeni, seeking a patent on his device, says that the trailer will enable people to take the baby along on bicycle trips. *= " 1111 '1 ii iwni jwi nil ii i Wisconsin Blaclmntth JProtiU Despite Can j For the ordinary village blacksmith the coming of the automobile has meant severe loss if not extinc- i tion. But to August Zahn of Bailey's Harbor, Wis., the strident tooting of automobile horns is no more unwelcome than to a filling station operator. It merely means more business. For Zahn, who has plied his trade in Huiley's Hurbor since arriving from Germany in 1904, is an artist whose hammer and anvil are used with the same care und finesse as the painter's brush or sculptor's chisel. His work Includes fireplaces with all accessories, hanging lamps, ornamental stair railings, fine candlesticks and other articles. J Now a white-haired man in his sixties, his face lined with deep furrows, Zahn is carrying on a family tradition of artistry in iron which goes back several generations. He j served his apprenticeship in his father's shop in Zarrentine, Germany. Nor will the family tradition end with August, for today, Walter, his oldest son, is learning the secrets which August's father passed on to him. . Many fine homes in Door county contain products in Zahn's craftsmanship. And therein lies the explanation of the old blacksmith's hearty approval of the automobile? for most of those homes were built after the advent of the horseless carriage increased the population of this northern Wisconsin district and made it available as an attractive summer home location for wealthy out-of-state families. When Zahn isn't occupied at his forge, he generally is performing his duties as clerk of his school district, a position he has helf ro 19 years, or as a member of the town bodrd. But publicly or privately, no one ever heard Zahn Join the anvil chorI us or, protest against the automobile. ?? ? . ^ 'Old Faithful' Geyser Active Only 200 Years Old Faithful, Yellowstone park's best-known geyser, isn't the venerable graybeard that scientists have always believed it to be. Studies by Dr. C. Max Bauer, park naturalist, indicate that it is a comparative youngster. Until Dr. Bauer and his associates gave the cone a thorough examination recently, the most reliable estimate had placed the geyser's age at 10,000 years or more. But the new evidence tends to show that some 9,800 years will have to be lopped off that figure. For old Faithful has been an active spouter for not more' than 200 years. Dr. Bauer "says that Giant and Castle, on the other hand, have been erupting for several thousand years, and that several other Yellowstone geyserB have been active for at least a thousand. But, whether it celebrates Its birthday with 200 candles or 10,000, Old Faithful still draws the crowds when, at 60 minute intervals, it dis-1 gorges its 10,000 to 12,000 gallons' of boiling water in a column 150 feet high. Real Medicine Men? Maybe there was something to this medicine man business of the redskins after all. Dr. Earl B. Fisher of the University of Minnesota department of pharmacognosy will argue that the antics of the Indian medicine man of pioneer days was not always only terrifying faces and drum beating to drive-away evil spirits. Such incantations were supplemented by some 200 medicinal plants and drugs. Many are widely used for remedies today; that is, all perhaps save one. That is a flint disk. It was obtained from a band of -Indians near Le Sueur, Minn., and was used by them to effect cures for headaches by scraping the skull. The now-vanishing American in his early days used such drugs and herbs as the cascara plant, bark of the wild cherry for expectorants and sedatives, sareaparilla; slippery elm, used in poultices and as an emollient; spear| mint, juniper berry, wintergreen I and Jim son weeds. Rhinoceros Dangerous A rhinoceros is not to be sneered at. His bulk, his pointed horns, his srmored hide, his burning temper ?they have killed many a full-grown elephant in jungle encounter. But the rhinoceros is not always malicious. Mostly he attacks because of poor eyesight and panicky mind. Big I as he Is, the rhinoceros is called one of nature's failures. He has become almost extinct in Asia through a foolish native belief his horn was a poison indicator. This created a big demand for horns, so cups could be carved. Poisoned liquids were supposed to split the cups in two. Scottish Names An American who called a Scottish boy John or a Scottish girl Margaret would have more than an average chance of being correct. These two names have been the most popular in Scotland the last 80 years. Highland names such as Colin, Lachlan, Dugald and Roderick have declined in popularity, while, June, Dorothy, Irene and Maureen ave become more widely, used, c'.hr Attain, Simon and other bibb 1 ran en lave almost passed out / u?age m Scci'and. > Tir?9y'i 'Mechanism' Still Remains Mystery Once it was thought that phosphorus was the cause of the luminosity of the firefly and its larva, the glow-worm, and the phenomenon was called phosphorescence. But the substance of the luminous rones of these curious beetles has many times been exhaustively analyzed for phosphorus without an indication of its being found, and the real nature of the firefly's glow remains a secret. The key to the solution seems to lie in the fact that certuin fats, oils and other substances exhibit luminosity when permitted to combine with oxygen in an alkaline solution. Just what tukes place here is not yet known, but it is a form of combustion. In the laboratory experiments the contact also produces a measurable amount of heat, while in the firefly and in luminous fishes and plants it does not appear to do so. The light-producing organs of the firefly are unquestionably arranged to bring about this union of oxygen and a fatty secretion. The seat of the light is intensely luminous areas in the abdomen or thorax or both. Each is a specialised portion of the fat body, a plate situated directly beneath the skin, and supplied with nerves and fine tubes connecting with the trachea or windpipe. The cells of these fatty places secrete, under the control of the nervous system, a substance which is burned during the appearance of light. This combustion takes place by means of the oxygen conveyed to the cells by the fine tracheal branches. The lighting system seems to serve two purposes; One, to attract the opposite sex, and the other as a curious means of defense against bats or other nocturnal insectivorous creatures which prefer less dazzling and alarming fare. This defensive use of light has its counterpart in some of the luminous fish, which light up only under the stimulous of alarm and excitement to frighten off their enemies. Cat, Dog Rated Equals On Intelligence Scale The only difference in the intelligence of a dog and a cat is that a dog is "something of a socialist while a cat is an individualist," according to Dr. Charles M. Diserens, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Diserens, who has made a life-long study of cats, says that persons who favor doge over cats or who believe dogs have a higher degree of intelligence just don't know their cats. He believes one animal is about as intelligent as the other and that there is little diffeience In their nerve centers. Although classifying cats as rugged individuals, Dr. Diserens wants it understood that felines have a I genuine capacity for gratitude. He says this fact may often be noted during and after medical treatment when they become deeply grateful and very often more affectionate. Healthful Antarctlo That the Antarctic is a health Utnpjp, where germs have little; chance to thrive, is the discovery of Dr. Helmuth Husserl, scientist, of Vienna, who is staying in Capetown,] South Africa, and who advances the theory that earth rays may be the cause of cancer, He returned from the Antarctic in the whaling factory ship, Suderoy, and suggested that hospital ships should be sent to the South Polar regions with patients. He is of the opinion that in the Antarctic air, full of curative properties, the patients would have the greatest chance of recovery. He r has reported to ? German society that those who spend their lives at sea never contract cancer. He holds this strong evidence that the genesis of cancer are the earth rays. - \ Printing Paper Money All the paper money and postage stamp* used by the population of the United States is printed et the bureau of printing and engraving. Here 5,000 expert employee! turn out n daily average of 3,360,000 cuf-. rency notes. In this institution one false slip of s workman's tool or s . miscalculation of a width dr depth] of line may destroy the merit dl months of labor and cause a grave business tragedy. " The bureau hit grown since 1862, when it occupied one room in the attic of the treasury, to its present size, covering 10 acres of floor spare. Visitors ara encouraged to ask questions in this building, which carries on a labor most fascinating, perhaps, of all tha functions of government. Clothing Budgets Fifteen per cent of the total family income is considered an average allowance for clothing, according to authorities on budgeting family expenses. On the basis of this estimate, a total annual expenditure for family clothing in the United States approaches the $9,000,000,000 mark. With such a large portion of income spent on clothing, two important items worth considering are how intelligently'we select our clothes and how well we care for them Every homemaker will find ft enlightening to check on the clothing costs of her family, By adopting better buying practices and a more effective program of clothing upkeep, nearly everyone ean reduce this item panes.
