Realty Improvement COMPANY , 342 ELECTRIC BLDG Phone JA-7718 or JA 1620 Omaha, Nebraska Resurrect Old Windows For Canadian Chapel Ten stained glass windows intend ed to inspire prospectors of the Yu kon gold rush days of ’98 have been installed in the sanctuary of an air transport command chapel near Whitehorse in the Canadian North west. Within a few months after the gold strike in the Dawson City area, a mushroom city of about 10,000 had sprung up on the shores of Lake Bennett, halfway between Skagway, Alaska, and Whitehorse, Yukon territory, where prospectors rested from the arduous climb through Chillicoot pass before mak ing their way in hastily built boats across Lake Bennett and down the Lewes river to Whitehorse. A member of the Presbyterian board of missions in Canada inter ested enough citizens of this heter ogeneous community to build a log church in a single day that still stands on the lake shore. The stained glass windows were ordered, but before they arrived the boom had collapsed and the mushroom city on Lake Bennett had shrunk to a dozen or more employees of the just then completed White Pass and Yu kon railroad, one of the few narrow gauge railroads still in use in North America. The windows were stored in a log warehouse in Whitehorse where they had been accumulating dust for more than 40 years until a Mr. Hardy, a director of the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Whitehorse, learned that a chapel was being built at the nearby air transport com mand base. His offer of their use was accepted and they now deco rate a sanctuary built onto a pre fabricated structure erected for a chapel. Pygmies Among Strange Sights in Philippines Pygmy natives adept with blow guns, 20-foot pythons, pitcher plants which hold nearly a quart of water, and edible birds’ nests worth twice their weight in silver are a few of many strange sights on Palawan, southwesternmost big island of the Philippines. Among varied tribes of Palawan natives, whose total is estimated all the way from 20,000 to 50,000, are the Bataks, pagan black pygmies re sembling natives of the distant An daman Islands more than the re lated Negritoes common on Luzon. Skilled with bow and arrow for catching deer and big game, they use blowguns and poisoned darts to catch monkeys and birds. Creeping stealthily up on their quarry perched high in a tree, they send their darts with a sudden puff. Their victim may continue to perch for minutes, apparently unharmed, then fall to the ground from the effects of the poisoned barb.

Lee of 1144 No. 20th St. Fannie Lee, wife Daughters, Texania and Loria Sisters, Estella Branch and Castroma Sims Find Vitamin A Relief For Colds, Skin Disorders Certain investigators feel that 1 colds, sinus trouble, sore throat, and abscesses in ears, mouth or salivary glands may result from insufficient vitamin A in the diet. Although it has not been con clusively demonstrated that vitamin A can prevent colds, it has been shown that it will shorten the dura tion of colds. More prolonged deficiency of vita min A results in dry scaly skin with plugs of horny material about hair j follicles. Certain cases of dry scaly [ skin have been successfully treated by using vitamin A. This vitamin is also essential for proper formation and maintenance of tooth enamel and for successful reproduction. There are animal and vegetable sources of vitamin A. These are cod liver and other fish liver oils, liver, milk and dairy products, and yellow and green leafy vegetables. The vitamin A from animal sources is somewhat better utilized than that from vegetables, and both should be included in the diet. Strange Fish The paddlefish is among the strangest of all fishes. It resem bles a marine shark more than a fresh water fish. In fact, when it was first classified over a hundred years ago, it was incorrectly placed with the sharks. However, when more thoroughly studied it was found to be a primitive bony fish and not a shark. It is lead colored and has a smooth skin from which the scales have practically disappeared. The paddlefish grows to well over 150 pounds. It is rarely ever taken on hook and line, but is usually caught by seining. The flesh is ex cellent and is practically boneless, as the skeleton is cartilaginous. In some southern localities, this species is the most highly prized food fish. The eggs make excellent caviar and in many parts of the South constitute an important product of the com mercial fisheries secret service All appointments of agents of the U. S. Secret Service are made from the top of a list of eligibles com piled by the U. S. Civil Service com mission on the basis of a competi tive examination. Names are list ed in order of individual ratings plus any credits for veteran preference. The Civil Service commission re quired an applicant for admission to the examination for treasury en forcement positions with the service to be a U. S. citizen with at least high school education and at least two years’ experience in major criminal investigative work; be tween 21 and 52 years of age, both inclusive; with good vision, keen col or perception and unimpaired hear ing; minimum height, 66 inches; minimum weight, 130 pounds; sound physical condition. All appointees are given a thorough medical ex amination and are subject to rigid character investigation. Marital sta tus has no effect on eligibility. Vapor Barriers There are some basic precautions that should be followed to prevent the possibility of moisture conden sation in the sidewalls or ceiling spaces after your house is insulat ed. There are a large number of materials on the market that are known as vapor barriers. One common form consists of a heavy building vapor that is impregnated with an asphalt coating to prevent any water vapor from traveling through the paper. Another form consists of a paper that is backed or. one or both sides with a thin layer of metal foil. This vapor bar rier should go next to the plaster. In other words, the vapor barrier is used to prevent any water vapor from getting out of the room into the space between the walls. The vapor is stopped after it passes through the plaster, and can go no further.
