HOW LONG WILL BODLDKR DAM STAND RAVAGE OF TIME?-- When Boulder dam was designed the engtneera argued back and forth about the material that should be used in Its construction. Coolldge dam In Arizona. 250 feet high, had been built of reinforced concrete. Boulder dam Is 700 feet high--too big a leap from 250 feet. Resides, reinforced concrete contains steel, and no one knows how durable steed embedded In concrete actually is. Y This raises the question of the Ufe of Boulder dam.' How tong will the structure last? Many thousand years. An earthquake, some cataclysm Is more likely to shake It down than the tooth of time Is likely to gnaw It away. Perhaps, says a writer in the New York Times, this civilization will have disappeared when the dain at last crumbles, as other civilisations have disappeared In the past And then after more thousands of years, when savages will have become scientists and fcrcheologlsts will dig hi Nevada, volumes will be written on the greatest feat In dam engineering that the world ever ssw;' MAJ.

It Is sometimes found that the screws holding such parts have rusted and that they cannot be removed with screw driver. If too much pressure Is applied the. screw head tnay break, cahslng even' greater difficulty. In some cases It Is possible to loosen rusty screws set In wood by applying heat to them. This Is done by holding the point _of an electric soldering iron to the screw head until the latter is very hot. Then the screw Is turned out with a series of short, Jerky twists. The same kink can be applied to machine screws set into metal, by beating with a blow torch. How Sleep Cone* How sleep comes is still a mystery to scientists. A great many theories have been advanced to explain the riddle, but none has been acceptable. One theory explains that sleep comes somewhat in the manner of pulling all the plugs out of a switchboard to stop all conversations. The conduction pathways in the nervous system are broken by the refraction of small contact points between the [neurones, which are the conducting units that form the nervous system. Activity,- according tio still another theory, produces a fatigue poison which accumulates in the blood and "dopes" the brain, thus bringing sleep.--Montreal Herald. How tp Refinish Hardwood Floors.;; If the floors are In the least discolored or spotted, it will be necessary to use a power sander since it is practically flnposslble to sand them sufficiently by hand. After the ». floors are sanded down to the plain wood, apply a commercially prepared paste filler, and wipe them off with a cloth. If a wax finish Is desired, apply two coats of shellac, sandpapering with double O sandpaper after each coat, and add a coat of wax and of polish. If a varnish finish is desired, after the paste filler has been applied, add one coat of shellac, sandpaper it, and then two coats of varnish. - How Roitira Diicovorod X-Rftyi In 1885, while experimenting, Doctor Rontgen got strange shadows of solid objects and by making his tube lightproof a greenish fluorescent light could be thrown upon a screen several feet away. These rays passed through the soft parts of the body so that the bones of the hand, for example, were boldly reflected upon a photographic plate. Rontgen modestly named the new rays X-rays, but they were afterwards named Rontgen rays, and the science is now known as rontgenology.

VOD ask me, senor, why American performers are barred from acting In my restaurant. The reason may be traced directly to Senor James Capehart who came here as a funny man In an American remie. Imbibed so freely that he missed the boat train to La Guayra, and through what he was pleased to call his showmanship, caused many complications. The trouble started when Pablo, my waiter, Informed me that Senor Capehart's bill amounted to fourteen pesos, not counting the glassware which In a spirit of frlyolity he had hurled across the street st the window of rav competitor, Pedro Pavlta, owner of. the Cafe de Cerdo Rojo. 1 approached tbe Intoxicated senor, and suggested that as be seemed unable to pay, a bit. of dish wash In* was In order.

That night, with great trepidation, I awaited Senor Capehart He did not appear until ten o'clock when we had the most customers. When he did enter, so perfect was his Impersonation that I would have sworn he was the great matador, Garcia del Hoya, himself. The customers , cheered enthusiastically as he stepped up to the bar. "That's nothing," he said. "Tomorrow night I will give you an even •greater impersonation. Tomorrow afternoon I go to the office of the chief of police to study him." "But," I objected, "His Excellency, Rafael Xumero, chief of police, seldom "goes out In public. Don't you think U dangerous?" """I shall play my part with the discretion befitting a great artist," he said. Senor Capehari uad done his work welL On the following night the talk about the renowned matador had so spread around Caracas that our bar Was crowded. Business wafe better than It had ever been. Just as^I observed this, Pedro Pavlta, my competitor, descended upon me. "De Valavera!" he hissed. "I know the full extent of your perfidy. The clerk at the costttmer's confessed that he rented you that matador's suit." I tried to quiet him. "I also know," he continued, "that Senor Capehart rented a uniform there, of a chief of police, in which he will masquerade tonight I will denounce him the minute be comes In. I will let all Caracas know how the honorable Senor de Valavera sponsors importors and cheats!" Almost as Favita finished! speaking, there appeared in the doorway a figure In the dress uniform of the chief of police, with his mustachios waxed In a moat military manner. Favita spied him Instantly. Name of a pig!" he cried. "Impostor!

Your mention of the sports department of The Plaindealer in last week's issue pleased us. Yes. We remember reading something about Minnesota having a pretty fair football,team this year. Your' Srator admits a strong leaning toward lie "Irish" of Nctre Dame and if those Irish *Wojoskis" were to play your Svenskas, our sentimental reaction would be to lay our money on the line for our faVftrites. Our saner moments of good judgment warn us that your bunch of bone-crushers would mop up any team in the Country. We walked down the streets of St. Paul some few years ago and got a terrific neck from looking up at your towering giants. We will bet a dollar to a doughnut that we could walk a distance of two blocks in your busy section and raft a team that would make life miserable for any outfit in the country. We have never seen so many big men as we saw in Minnesota. What do you feed them up there, Frank? My recollection "does not bring forth having met you, but your weekly contributions to The Old Timers' Club makes you remain one of the boys in McHenry and The Plaindealer. Formation of that club was just like dropping an effervescent tablet into a calm glass of water. Enthusiasm is bubbling over the edges. You gave us a lift--now don't let us down. I can remember hearing " Wally Wood burn remin£#ce many times with my dad about the pranks of you fellows.

Klonti, Don Harrison; Charlie Goodell, Floyd Foss and Walter Gorman. We had no idea that so many fellows bit on that magazine racket promoted by thftse "stfeet young things" mentioned in last week's column. Explanations and excuses are coming forth in pleasing numbers. "Doc" Froehlich, be of lofty standing, rises to defend himself and Remands that "So r Hear" publish a report that two issues of his magazine just arriyed... He claims it is a radio magazine. We heard different. Our report is that the ' publication solves deep, dark mysteries that have baffled th« best minds in medical science down through the ages, such as--"How to restore wavy locks to bald heads." Alderman George Freund tells us that real enthusiasm is shown in the Forester's plan for basketball and volley ball on Sunday afternoons at the grade school gym. There was a nicc turnout last Sunday. A .regular schedule will start next week. Superintendent Dnker introduced McHenry with four baskets. Zink at forward for Marengo led with seven baskets and a couple of free throws. Thurow at center for the visitors was close with five baskets and two free tosses. Hughes had the distinction of dribbling through the whole Marengo team twice during the second half to drop in baskets. His hesitation waltz style had the defense covering potential pass receivers while Rrnj glided right through. Joe's Aces started out mildly enough in the first half of their game, bat really turned on the heat in the second , game to swamp Marengo's seconds 46 to 12. Every man in Joe's liSeup had a hand in the scoring. Chamberlain led the parade again with six baskets and one free throw. The winners had the game so completely under control that Marengo failed to score during the fourth quarter. Again we say that stronger competition m in order for these boys. Both teams travel to Algonquin this Thursday night. The girls also have a game scheduled. Saturday sight the teams go to Grays lake and Sunday afternoon they will meet Hebron on the local floor.
