It is thought that the 586 complaints on file set a new record. Investigating all these e#»- plaints takes a good deal of the time of the board members. Of this total, 81 complaints* have been filed by the Public Service compatty. They have entered many of these on the grounds that weir land ah--Id be assessed as farm land' and not as right of way property. Hoot all the complaints filed are- on real estate. This being the year for reassessment of all real estate in the county it is only natural that the com' plaint list would be high.

BLUE COAT DRESS Tho food and perfume industries «• htwHuMpuJ by the lack of words to Mscribe precisely the oddrs an&fiagors of their products, according t» .Industrial and Engineeriag> ChaxUstry, puliation of the American Chemical society. Years of pUifnt labor and the cooperation of huge numbers of noses nay be repaired to bring order to the nomenclature of odors and flavors, It is pointed out. There are few fields affording so great an opportunity for the exercise of special talents, and the rewards for accomplishment include renown, in view of*he extraordinary influence of these sensations on human (motions and actions. The Wfe "Sweet," "sour," "musty," "Safe," "salty," "acrid," "bitter" ami a few others jNjfe the limit to which it has so far been possible to go toward defining odors and flavors, it is said. Chemists with a wide range of tastes and smells at their command for comparison have developed individual systems of nomenclature based on similarities, but even these are so far incapable of the requisite exactness. - "m lummy An alcoholic odor, for example, may mean one similar to that of ethanol, but it may with equal logic be intended to suggest any of a dozen other alcohols whose characteristic aromas are quite different. No standard odor seems to characterize ketones, yet they are notably odorous. Ethers and esters similarly show wide variations, which no one has yet classified or explained in a usable system. Probably the reason for this chaotic situation is the vital r9le of personal idiosyncrasy in human noses and palates. Of the five human senses, only taste and smell have not yet yielded to scientifia classification, and physiologists say that in reality these two are actually a single sense. Mechanical Safeguards Protect Steel Workers When the steel industry first set out on an organized campaign for safety it concentrated on an attempt to eliminate accidents through the installation of mechanical safeguards. Efforts to achieve safety by this means have never ceased and many thousands of safety devices have been installed in steel mills, says the American Iron and Steel institute. It is thfe practice in the industry to have all plans for equipment thoroughly checked from the standpoint of safety before installations are made. Safety-promoting equipment in a steel mill falls into Ave general classes: Inclosed belts, gears and other moving parts and similar equipment which stands constantly ready to prevent accidents; safety railings on all stairs and runways are in this' category. Machines mch m cranes aad continuous mills ftiathave reduced the danger and the back-breaking toil from steel mill Jdb», making the typical steel worker an alert, skilled or semi-sldlled worker employed to'use bis head more than his muscles. Equipment add devices to improve working conditions, such as better lighting and ventilation of plants. Safety cfothinfof all kinds, including goggles, gloves, masks, steeltoed shoes, asbestoe coats and helmets whicb-protect eyes, limbs and Ives of worker* I. ' • ; l V Floy Haldeand Harrison George Washington has sometimes been called "the second Cincinnati" in allusion to his having been called1 to the presidency from his plantation at Mount Vernon, to which he retired after having voluntarily resigned his commission as commander m chief of the army. But it was William Henry Harrison, who was called from his estate at North Bend, on the Ohio river, to be the ninth President of the United States, who was termed "the Cincinnati oi the West." In both of these instances the allusion is to the story of the Roman historian, Livy, relating that in the year 458 B. C., when the Aequi and Volsci had shut up the Roman consul, Lucius Minucius, and his army in a defile, and, Rome itself being in great danger, the Roman senate, in alarm, had made Lucius Quintius Cincinnatus dictator, the messengers sent to inform him of his appointment, found him at the plow. Modern investigators, however, have pronounced the most attractive parts of the story fiction. FadHtate Harvesting A banana "trae" ^will gam to height of 30 feet, and with leaves 10 feet long, but on plantations it is kept much shorter to facilitate harvesting. Bananas are a commercial proposition to grow, tot on the land* required to grow a hundred pounds of potatoes you can grow as much as four thousand pounds of bananas, notes a writer in London Answers Magazine. Apart from this,, the planta need very little attention and little effort is necessary to cultivate further trunks. The fruit we know can either he eaten fresh or in a dried state; beverages are also made from bananas, and the dried fruit can be ground into an excellent flour. In the tropical countries Wharf th^ plant is i ullilftli il I'lliiBi are " Anonc the Skk ii i e eemmon banana we eat grows on a tree which is only one of a family. In .East Africa, one variety grows fruit to the tremendous size of two feet long and about nine or ten inches round, but it only grows one to every bunch of the other tree, and the fruit has to be cooked. Another member of the same family gives us the famous Manila hemp, which is made fronrthe fibers in the leaves. After only a short history, the banana has become Britain's most ^popular fruit food, imports jumping about 70 per cent even in the last nine years. Unlike apples, lemons, and oranges, which are often consumed in cooked and liquid forms, the banana is mostly eaten in its natural state. By the way, no banana trees have been grown from seed in living memory. It has been so scientifically cultivated that seeds aren't necessary. . Name Sylvester of Origin, Authority Says The name Sylvester, sometimes spelled with an i for the second letter, is of Latin origin and means |'forest dweller," "of the woods," or, in a general sense, "country bred." This name has been borne by two popes, in the Fourth and Tenth centuries, and by two anti-popes (elected in opposition to those regularly chosen) in the Eleventh and Twelfth centuries, according to Florence A. Cbwles in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dr. Sylvester Gardiner (1707-86) helped to colonize a part of Maine and the city of Gardiner, Maine, is named for him. He was a loyalist during the Revolutionary war and removed to Halifax and later to England, being one of those who were proscribed in 1778. But he returned to America about a year before Ms death. To him goes credit for introducing inoculation for smallpox. Sylvester Graham (1794-1881) was New England Presbyterian minister, a temperance lecturer and an advocate of vegetarianism. His theory was that a diet of vegetables prevented a craving for liquor, and ha recommended using an unbolted wheat floUr for bread. Graham flour and bread perpetuate hip na*ae, . 'Chile Wheel* The only "Chile Wheel" south of Sonora is en the Nelson mining claim im the Greenhorn mountains, 36 miles east of Bakersfleld and two miles east of the Oak Flat ranger station, sagra the Los Angeles Times. It was used to prush gold-bearing quartz and was introduced into California by Chilean miners, hence the name. An> upright was fitted into a square hole and atop, this was a beam with a wheel on one end. To the other end was hitched a horse or mule, which moved the wheel around in a rock-lined circular trench with a sort of rocker movement. This "wheel" is of granite and is six feet in diameter, nine inches in thickness at the rim and 14 inches in thickness at the hub. It weigh* approximately 3,500 pounds.. American Indirect Taxes4 The average American consumer now pays 13% cents of traceable indirect taxes in each dollar he spends, or $242 a year out of a $150- a-month salary. Another 5 to ft cents of hidden taxes lurk in the background, which brings to It cents the total indirect taxes contained in each dollar spent, a rise of nine-tenths cents in 1938 from the 1937 content. Eliminated from calculations are all taxes difficult to "pass on" in prices--income, excess profits, estate, gift and inheritance taxes, realty taxes on owner-occupied residences, employee's share of social security taxes, etc. Rents conceal the largest proportion of taxes, 26.1 per cent; next heaviest load is borne by the automobile, 20.3 per cent. Traceable tax content in clothing is 9.5 par cent, and in food 7.8 $er cent. . /. .v • . ; The Lareher Dog According to Webster, a lurcher is a poacher. Consequently any dog that aids bis master in bagging game en land where hunting is forbidden is called a lurcher. Lurchers are frequently found near estates in England where game is plentiful and hunting forbidden except for the owner and his guests. The favorite dog with the poacher is usually a cross between a collie and a greyhound because a speedy and silent retrieve of the game is essential to the poacher if he is to stay out of jail. Lurchers work in peril since, while they are faithful to lawbreaking masters, they are apt to be shot on sight by gamekeepers oi the estates they poach on.
