PA., THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 28, 1930 No. 41 HBAVEN? A town in which there will be BO bootlegging, no gambling, no Tice. no' fllth. no unsightly bill¬ boards, no uncollected garbage, no disorder, (k being built on the banlcs of the Colorado River. It is the town whicb will be occupied (or seven or eight years by the engineers and laborers engaged in building the Boulder Dam. It has beeu planned and designed by the U, S, Engineers, wbo will ad¬ minister tlie new town and control the conduct of it.s inbahitants. The^e employed on the Boulder Dam J»b who don't like to be re¬ stricted in their hours off duty can live .'jomewhere else if they choose. Most of the ten or twelve thou¬ sand men who will be employed on the dum, however, will live in thi,"* new town, wiiich husn't been nanied yet. The name of "Heaven" hasi been suggested (or it, but people'a ideas u( Heaven ditler so (rom each other that not all will agree as to the appropriateness of that title, MONEV More than a thou.sand million dollars—$1,336,000,000, to be ex¬ act—of the "old" paper money Is still ia circulation. At least, that much has not been turned io at tbs U, S, Treaaury (or exchange (or the new small-sized bills which were pu' in circulation a year .ago. Washington offlciHls estimate that probably haK a billion dollars o( this outstanding money never wilt be turned in. Some o( it has been burned, aome lost, some hidden where it may never be (ound. Sixty million one-dollar bills are still outstanding, and a great many $5,000 and $10,000 bills. There are still tetn of thousands of persons who huve no faith in banks und keep their money in the house or buried in the ground, not re.ilizing that *hey are tempt¬ ing thieves. The only .safe place f:)r money is in a .-iound bank. LOl'KS In the Arabian Nighta story o( AU Baha and tbo Forty Thieves, (he door of tbetobbera' cave open¬ ed when one stood be(ore It and pronounced the words "Open se¬ same," In the Wfcj.itinghou.se lab- oatory a door hus lieen built which will oiien when those words are spoken iu a certain pitch, and which will not open l)y any other mean.s. Now the fJ^neral Electric laboratory has buil- a door which opens only when kr.ocktMl upon iu a certain way, at certain points, and whicb cannot otherwise be forced. Tbe flrat thing one thinks of is that such doors would lie useful fjr lodge rooms and i.ilvate ottipes. But there are many orht-r u^ses to which they could l)e put. WINOOWH Wilt the home, offlce or factory building have windows or not? . Scientific architects and engineers say not. Temperance control, with abundance of freah air is already a demonstrated possibility if) bikildings whose windows are never opened. Everybody who works in those buildings work at the same temperature" the year around. Modern lighting is bet- t3r than sunlight, even if it doesn't c-xactly niatcli it; ia addition, ar¬ tiflclal sunlight can produce ultra¬ violet rays, which do not penetrate through window glass, and make indoor conditions more healthful than they are now.

A town in which there will be BO bootlegging, no gambling, no Tice. no' fllth. no unsightly bill¬ boards, no uncollected garbage, no disorder, (k being built on the banlcs of the Colorado River. It is the town whicb will be occupied (or seven or eight years by the engineers and laborers engaged in building the Boulder Dam. It has beeu planned and designed by the U, S, Engineers, wbo will ad¬ minister tlie new town and control the conduct of it.s inbahitants. The^e employed on the Boulder Dam J»b who don't like to be re¬ stricted in their hours off duty can live .'jomewhere else if they choose. Most of the ten or twelve thou¬ sand men who will be employed on the dum, however, will live in thi,"* new town, wiiich husn't been nanied yet.

At least, that much has not been turned io at tbs U, S, Treaaury (or exchange (or the new small-sized bills which were pu' in circulation a year .ago. Washington offlciHls estimate that probably haK a billion dollars o( this outstanding money never wilt be turned in. Some o( it has been burned, aome lost, some hidden where it may never be (ound. Sixty million one-dollar bills are still outstanding, and a great many $5,000 and $10,000 bills. There are still tetn of thousands of persons who huve no faith in banks und keep their money in the house or buried in the ground, not re.ilizing that *hey are tempt¬ ing thieves. The only .safe place f:)r money is in a .-iound bank.

Now the fJ^neral Electric laboratory has buil- a door which opens only when kr.ocktMl upon iu a certain way, at certain points, and whicb cannot otherwise be forced. Tbe flrat thing one thinks of is that such doors would lie useful fjr lodge rooms and i.ilvate ottipes. But there are many orht-r u^ses to which they could l)e put.

Temperance control, with abundance of freah air is already a demonstrated possibility if) bikildings whose windows are never opened. Everybody who works in those buildings work at the same temperature" the year around. Modern lighting is bet- t3r than sunlight, even if it doesn't c-xactly niatcli it; ia addition, ar¬ tiflclal sunlight can produce ultra¬ violet rays, which do not penetrate through window glass, and make indoor conditions more healthful than they are now.
