ing, 23 bridge projects and other improvements. All this improvement was in addition to the maintenance work carried on by the State, counties anif cities on the roads, streets, bridges, sewers, etc. Bids were asked by the various units of government for the construction of thirty public buildings. The summary showed, however, that the State highway commission projects for hard surface paving were not as large in proportion as those of the neighboring states. The State work in this classification in Michigan. Kentucky and Illinois totalled 122 miles. In Addition In addition to the public improvements the digest showed that the county and city governments had advertised for low bids on the purchase of three tractors, eleven trucks, a number of pieces of road building equipment, and equipment and supplies for public institutions. Lake county led Indiana jn ?oad construction with advertisements for pavement costing approximately $700,000. Elkhart was second with $250,000. Other county projects and their estimated costs Included: Randolph, $80,000; Lawrence, $145,000; Whitley, SIOO,OOO. These figures do not include any of the improvements except roads and does not in • elude the contracts awarded, which would run into added millions of investments. From the early Babylonians comes the practice of dividing up the days into 24 hours, subdividing the hour into 60 minutes, * and the minutes into 60 seconds.

50 MILLION IN GOLD Heavy Yield in 23 Years in Yuba Field. MARYSVILLE, Cal., June 14. After twenty-three years of steady production, the Yuba goldfield here has yielded $50,000,000 worth of the yellow metal and is still going. The field is worked by the placer process, and it Is necessary to sift a ton of sand and gravel to get 8 cents worth of gold. In the twentythree years of dredging, the company has removed about 375,000,000 cubic yards of material—which is about 135,000,000 more cubic yards than were taken from the Panama Canal. Up-to-date machinery and methods are the answer to the success of the enterprise. ‘BLOOD THICKER THAN WATER/ TRIO PROVES s Cleveland Men Find Solution After Stabbing it Out.

Fishing The Air BY LEONARD E. PEARSON

Editor's Note—AU references to time i in this column are Central Standard (Indianapolis) time. Radio is oing to change the mind of man, declares Sir Philip Gibbs, the British writer, who believes that radio will give man a mastery over life beyond all previous dreams. In the development of radio scientists have presented opportunities to humanity which, he believes, will alter one’s scheme of life, mental habits and social customs and pleasures. “Perhaps those are high words to use about an invention which is called wireless or radio,” Gibbs adds, “so common ribw after a few years of use that most of us have a wireless aerial over our chimney-pots.
