How Alginates Are Made Alginates are produced from a species of single-celled brown algae or kelp which groWs profusely as a seaweed off the shores of San Diego, Calif. By refining the kelp, alginic acid of relatively high purity is secured, and from this the various alginic compounds are derived. spRnra ci&ove Niagara Sacrifices Many The Indians about Niagara have id tradition that the Falls demand two human sacrifices every year, and the number of accidents and suicides there is more than large than pay taxes, on the tree year by enough to maintain this average, j year.

It dates from 1620 and was built under the direction of Don Alonso Tello de Guzman. The aqueduct has not been in use for many years. The water was obtained from a strong spring that threw a high stream. Around this stream a tower was built and circular runways provided through which the water passed to a lower le'vel where the aqueduct began. The passing of the water through the runways provided its momentum. Human Skin Book Binding Asbestos is an unusual book binding --though aluminum, wall paper, and Japanese umbrella-cloth have all been used for that purpose.

Those who retain a voting place elsewhere are planning trips home or to local offices where mail ballots are garenerecbfor shipment to home precincts. ,Major questions of policy are put aside with the laconic excuse "to await the elections:" Repetition of these discreet steps of avoidance is reflected in minor matters so that the vast army of government employees seethes with speculation as the nation prepares to piclf a pilot for Another four years. : ; , Offhand it wotild seem that the nominal protection of the civil service classifications would lessen the Apprehension engendered by foul political weather. But the Federal service has always been honeycombed'""^"^""/ with political pets who depended on! fT " S y• influence rather than merit fo? their Despite seeming indifference standing on the payroll. Playing' poljttjcs to get their berths in the govw. nw^nt, these Fedeial employes know full wetfl .the elections will have much to do with their future. If Landon takes over the helm, a wholesale exodus of Democrats from all key positions would be inevitable. And the return of Skipper Bo©s#velt will spell changes for he must pecessarily reward his field workers iby bigger patronage dividends--a possibility which foreshadows shake-ups. Hence, the passionate interest in all the heats and extravagances of ths campaign. Jhe result--public affairs will b? a* a standstill for the next two weeks. Probing beyond the clamour, of partisans, you will discover a situation Which develops only on the eve of a closely contested election. The politicians step down from their high seats to-assume a subservient role for their coftstituents. Usually, the shoe is oh the other foot, but the voter holds the whip hand until the ballots are counted, This season Jhe voters have the, politicians guessing and plfading. Sir Oracle has many followers in both camps who are free with prophecies. What will happen November 3 is still a mystery to experienced calculators. Those who brag loudest are not at all averse to privately recommending an extra measure of diligence in mustering votes, Edmund Burke, defender Of the American Colonies in the English Parliament in stormy pre-Revolutionary times, once defined "political reason" as "a computing principle-- adding, subtracting, -multiplying and dividing" and that is what the parti- | dustries would have plenty of time to cooperate. Delays followed and the enrollment was stalled until next month--after the election. For practical purposes, it was felt that the summer registration would be more satisfactory as there would be sufficient time to scientifically unscramble the tremendous volume of information gathered on several million cards. The Old Age Section of the Social Security Act becomes effective January 1. Behind. the postponement of the registration was quibbling over the political effects. It was argued, with some cogency, that an enrollment would require employment of thousands by the Federal government and thereby open the gates to patronage in every Congressional district. Other politically-minded men contended that registering 27 million men and women is bound to &tir up antagonisms about the goverment prying into their private affairs, as the average worker knows little or nothing about the new law. The political bosses would father face the resentment and explain after thg election, when they iiave time to think up the right answers. Jt is noteworthy that little has been said about the prohibition question in the current campaign for public office. Of course, there are a few scattered cases where it is a live issue, but on a nation-wide scale. of the electorate to the "wet and dry" controversy, which raged so fiercely in other Presidential seasons, the matter is by no means considered definitely shelved. On the contrary, the experienced and far-sighted officials among the liquor manufacturers and distributors are keeping their finger on the public pulse. Privately these leaders hint that their efforts to bring sanity and safety in the handling of this vital problem of relations with the pub-; . lie are handicapped by the avarice an4 J short-sighted policies of many new•!•, comers in their ranks.
