GREAT INDIAN DAM
SERVES VAST AREA
f The Lloyd barrage at Sukkur, India,
took eight years to complete. The bar-
j rage commands an area of 8,000,000
acres In Sing, the land actually irri
gated by the canals being 6,000,000
acres—500,000 acres more than the
total area of cultivation in the whole
of Egypt. It has cost £3.500,000 to
build, £1,000,000 more than the Assuan
dam.
It carries two mighty bridges across
the Indus, each of them nearly a mile
long. The dam is pierced by 06 open
ings, each of 60 feet span, between
which huge steel gates Will operate. ‘
There are seven large canals, three
of them wider than the Suez canal.
The Rohri canal, the biggest,-is.over
205 miles long, with 2,300 miles of
branches and distributaries.
The Central Rice canal Has a dis
charge equal to that of the Thames,
while the excavation work done on the
canals was equal to four Suez canals
or 100 Great pyramids. The irrigated
lands will produce an annual crop ol
2,000,000 tons of grain and cotton. The
complete scheme of barrage and canals
was estimated to cast £12,000,000.
HAPPY HITS
Following precedents ts done to save
thinking.
Very few are satified with the re
venge they get.
A versatile person is pretty sure to
have intense vitality.
A rich farmer is one who dies with
$20,000 in the bank.
Isn’t there any actor who can play
“Rip Van Winkle” now?
Men have found dying for freedom
much simpler than getting it
A city is full of opportunities and
full of men grabbing for them.
A bird is not happy. It is always
afraid of something; as men are.
A reporter despises being handed
a wisecrack when he wants a fact.
There are ever so many more ex
plorers than there Is exploring to do.
There is a day of reckoning in ev
ery lifetime; sometimes two or three.
When men were given the vote, it
added a new value in society to every
man.
Conservatism always triumphs if a
man’s circumstances become comfort
able.
A man cannot have his cake and
eat it, too—esjteeially on his first trip
across the pond.
After some couples have been di
vorced, they meet amiably and never
quarrel any more.
Rich men who stock up a splendid
private library hardly ever have any
time io spend in it.
All men admire ^selLcontro!: in oth-
ers; and they like it in themselves if
they can only achieve it.
In the old novels, you delighted in
the beautiful and scholarly English,
but who writes like that now?

comes out, and we read things about
Carlyle and Tennyson and Dickens
that remind us of the young man on
the moonlit bench.
‘‘This young man crushed a pretty
girl to his heart, kissed her like mad
for half ap hour, and then said:
“ ‘Darling, yours are the first lips I
have ever kissed—the first and the
sweetest.’ ”

FOR SATISFACTORY RESULTS
ADVERTISE In The People-SentiMk
There is only
Marriag* “Rackat”
A couple in Pittsburgh made a rack
et of having themselves “married.”
Theih victims were all clergymen. Aft
er each ceremony the “bridegroom”
gave a check for $25 and requested
$15 change. The checks, of course,
were all worthless and the poor clergy
men were the losers. When arrested,
the “bridegroom” admitted that In
four years he and his accomplice had
held hands before different ministers
LjftS times, but hfd never been actual-
lyTnarried, as they had always used
a fake license.
Coastrncting Large Shrine
The largest shrine in western Penn
sylvania Is being built at the Slovak
Franciscan Fathers' home at Avalon,
Pa., by unemployed stone masons and
cutters. The workmen are members
of three Roman Catholic churches In
the Pittsburgh district The shrine,
to cost about $30,000, is being con
structed of granite, with red and white
stone trimming. It will include an al
tar, sacristy, grotto, catacombs and
fountains.
Mountain Climbers .
Alpine clubs are societies estab
lished primarily to promote a spirit
of fellowship among lovers of the sport
of mountaineering and also foster
mountain exploration and scientific re
search. They are to be found in most
of the leading countries. The largest
Alpine club in the United States is the
Appalachian Mountain club. On the
Pacific coast are the Sierra club, the

Peripatetic Pessimist

Dig up this garden for me and I’ll
give you a dollar.
Weary Watkins—Better keep It,
boss; you’ll need it to buy vegetables
later on.—Boston Transcript
Dora
Reason for It
Jack—1 thought you and
weren’t on speaking terms.
Vera—Well, we are now. I wanted
to And out what Mabel told her about
me.—London Amswaca.
The perfect motor oil must excel in
five qualities—ability to keep its
body, winter fluidity, low carbon, low
consumption, and long life.
The best Paraffinic oils rate well in
three of these qualities. They are
deficient in two. Naphthenic (Asphal
tic) oils rate well in two of these
qualities—are deficient in three.
There has been no commercial
method—before hydrofining—which
could combine the good qualities of
these two types of oils.
Essolube, the hydrofined oil, com
bines these qualities for the first
time. It keeps its body under tre
mendous engine heat and at ex
tremely low temperatures. This
means protection for your engine at
all temperatures—less wear on your
motor and fewer repair bills for
worn-out parts—less wear on your
battery. It has winter fluidity. This
means it flows freely in cold weather
and reduces wear on your motor dur
ing winter. It has next to no carbon
—this means fewer repair bills for
carbon cleaning jobs. It gives you low
consumption. This means it lubricates
longer, reduces bills for worn-out
bearings, reduces oil bills. It has long
life. This means it doesn*t sludge—
fewer oil changes, further savings on
oil bills.
Essolube—the Esso of motor oils
—is on sale at all dealers and stations
of the following companies at no
extra cost: Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, Standard Oil Company
of Pennsylvania, Standard Oil Com-
