WHY—.
Our Voices Show What We
Are Better Than Our Talk
Have you ever listened to your own
voice and Judged It by what you know
of your own character? Voices show
what we are better than what we say.
It has often been said that for every
fac;; in the world there Is—somewhere
—u twin. But for the voice—there is
no duplicate. Your voice Is your
own.
There is the loud voice—what does
It show? Self-confidence, doesn't it?
And the unmodulated voice? A cer
tain lack of imagination aud initia
tive. perhaps a phlegmatic or else an
easily discouraged disposition.
A harsh, rnsping voice indicates
somebody of spiteful and mean char
acteristics, the fault-finder, the sar
cnstlc and critical person.
The quick, rather high voice usual
ly indicates a nervous temperament,
Impatient nud sometimes irritable;
also the person who is somewhat self
satisfied.
The person of loud, slow voice la
usually a person who likes to Impress
others, to brag and boast.
Tlie trembling voice usually be
longs to somebody who Is too timid
and self-effacing; sometimes to the
person who is always afraid of life
and who lacks Initiative.
Of course, the well-modulated, mu
slcul voice, neither too high nor too
low, too loud or too soft, too quick or
too slow. Indicates the sort of person
we all like to think we are—the per
son with well-rounded interesting per
sonality, who has sympathy and char
acter and Individuality.
Why Names “John Bull,”
“Uncle Sam” Are Used
The lerm "John Bull” as a person
ification of the Englishman orig
inated In a satirical hook published
by John Arbuthuot in 1712 and called
“The History of John Bull.” The Di
rectory of National Biography state*
that It does not seem to be known
whether Abuthnot originated or only
adopted this nickname. In this book
John Bull is a good-natured, bluff, port
ly, honest, but hot-tempered farmer.
Of tlie many explanations of the origin
of “Unde Sam,” the following is the
most usually accepted: In the War of
1812 a Jovial man named Samuel Wil
son was an army meat Inspector. He
stamped the casks of provisions with
tlie letters “U. S.” and when asked
the meaning of these letters he an
swered facetiously that they stood for
‘‘Uncle Sam,” his own nickname. The
story spread and soon all the army
supplies were known as Uncle Sam's,
this becoming a nickname for the fed
eral government or for America In gen
eral.
Why Gian Echo Park Wa» Built
Glen Echo Park, near Washington,
D. G„ was built between 40 and 50
yeurs ago as a national Chautauqua ed
ucational center and conducted as such
for a number of years. The buildings
were made of stone found on the place.
There was a great amphitheater, hold
ing several thousand, in which was
housed what was supposed to be at
tiiat time the largest pit* organ in the
country. The seats circled about the
great stage, in the back of which was
the organ. The admin' Oration build
ing, facing the street, was said to' be
particularly artistic and beautiful arid
In It hung a set of chimes that could
he beard for miles across the country.
These were later removed when the
venture failed and the place was
taken over and opened as an amuse
ment park.
Why Sunday Election* Are Held
Germany, France and several other
European countries, as well as several
South American countries, hold their
elections on Sunday, both because
business wMI be less affected by the
necessity of citizens leaving to cast
their votes, and because the continen
tal and South American Sunday Is
largely a day of relaxation and enjoy
ment rather than a day devoted in its
entirety to religious worship and ob
servance, as was formerly and still Is,
to some extent, the practice in the
United States, Canada and the nations
of the British empire.
Close Measurement
The thickness of the glafs wall of
a radio tube or electric light bulb can
ba measured without breaking the
glass, by means of an optical thick
ness gauge.
New Stewart Snow Plough
Expected To Solve Traffic
Problem In Winter Months
Although the absence of
snow has forestalled any at
tempt to test the snow remov
ing capacities of Stewart’s big
snow plow, it is believed by
those who have examined the
device that it will prove a most
effective agency in solving win
ter transportation problems by
keeping the roads open in
and around Stewart and to the
adjacent mines.
The device is known as the
LaPlante-Choate V-;type snow
plow and consists of a V-1
shaped pair of blades or shares j
which can be extended to a!
width of 23 feet, propelled by
a 16-ton tractor developing 60
horsepower.
The device was supplied by
the B. C. department of public
works and appears fully cap
able of keeping the roads in
shape for motor traffic. It is
also understood that the activi
ities of the plow will include
! not only clearing the roads im
j mediately adjacent to Stewart
| but will also extend to Nine
mile on the Salmon river high
way for the benefit of the Pre
mier and Big Missouri mines in
the upper Salmon basin.

Anyox Blast Fired Nov. 27
The great mine blast in the
Hidden creek mine at Anyox
wps fired on the morning of
November 27, according to
news reports. The reports
indicate that the blast was not
of such spectacular dimens
1 ions as contemplated, as con
! siderably less than the an
nounced 100 tons of power
i was used. However there is no
doubt that the blast was one
i of the largest mine blasts in
i history.
As a precautionary measure
I the entire population of Anyox
I was temporarily shifted to the
j beach and no damage to per
] sons or property was reported.

Why the Road* Wind
English roads have more bends In
them than the roads of any other
country. But every curve In a road
has some reason. Mas it ever occurred
to you that it would make your walks
more interesting to find out the
reasons for the bends In the roads in
your own neighborhood?
Hoad builders have never made a
curve In a road without some purpose,
and if you can find out what that pur
pose was—by using your eyes and by
asking people—you will get quite a
good idea of what your town or vil
lage or suburb was like before the
roads were made.
These are a few of the reasons for
roads winding:
To avoid a steep slope.
To avoid swampy ground.
To skirt the edge of somebody’s
land.
To avoid a house that had been
built right In the way, but which lias
long since vanished, leaving only the
bend In the road as a record.
Flotation Method Kc
Gold Formerly Wasted
At Alaska Mine3
Stamp mill tailings from the
various gold milling plants in
the Fairbanks district have for
years (been allowed to go to
waste, but with the increase in
the price of gold these tailing
losses become too important to
neglect. Early this year, Dean
Patty of the Alaska College
and School of Mines, at Fair
banks, conducted tests on these
tailings and found that by pass
ing them through a flotation
machine it was possible to re
cover half of the gold remain
ing, according ifco a statement
in the Fartherest North Colle
gian.
The recovery was secured
without Ifiner grinding of the
material.
As a result, the Clery Hill
mine and the Hi Yu mine have
installed flotation equipment
which is now in successful op
eration. Dean Patty believes
the process could be adopted
with success in other mills.
Such installation would result
in the recovery of thousads of
dollars of gold each year
which Would otherwise be lost,
he believes.
