Pictures above show design of siphons on the City of Los Angeles' Owens Valley Aqueduct similar tubes will be used on the larger Metropolitan Aqueduct. Cross on the map indicates location water Siphon on the route of the latter conduit. Almost like a giant reptile, stretching from hilltop to valley floor, the Metropolitan Water District's great aqueduct, carrying Colorado river water to 14 cities of the Coastal plain, 266 miles away, will extend across mountains and deserts to supply one of man's most elemental needs. The picture above, showing the Jawbone siphon on the City of Los Angeles' Owens Valley Aqueduct, presents a scene similar to many that will be found along the course of the greater Metropolitan Aqueduct, from the Colorado River to Anaheim, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Colton, Fullerton, Glendale, Long Beach, Pasadena, San Bernardino, San Marino, Santa Ana, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and Torrance. The giant steel tube is what engineers call the inverted siphon. By means of it water is sucked down from one hilltop, across a valley floor, and then up to the summit of another hill. Chief among its advantages is the fact that it eliminates the necessity of erecting a huge trestle on which the aqueduct would otherwise be carried across the depression—a structure like the stately arcades built by the Romans centuries ago for their famous aqueducts. Along the path of the Metropoli- plined few, whether the menace be pistols or smallpox. TRICKERY The more I see the motion picture business the less respect I have for the methods and morals of the movie magnates. The latest scheme to lure the pennies from the pockets of the public is to sell advertising in the talkies. Some of the films which are being shown are honest enough. They are distinctly labelled as advertising, and anybody who doesn't want his evening's entertainment commercialized can get up and go out. But there are others in which the advertising—for which the movie producers take money—is cleverly introduced in so-called feature pictures. Yet the local exhibitors are asked to pay just as much for these films as for any others. CHAINS There is nothing illegal about chain stores, but the Supreme Court of the United States has decided that any state has the right to tax them at a different rate from other businesses. There is nothing unreasonable about this, so long as the tax is not high enough to drive them out of business. The chain store fills a place in our present social-economic system, as is proved by the amazing development of numerous organizations operating hundreds or thousands of retail outlets. The independent local merchant, however, fills a much more important place in his community, and is entitled to protection. Local merchandising methods, especially in the smaller communities, have been greatly improved by reason of chain-store competition and example, Then he learned that sion was only for dependent upon other earn a living.

J., recently required everybody living in a certain section of the city, some 1,400 persons, to be vaccinated. There was, of course, the usual protest on the part of ignorant and wrong-headed persons who "don't believe in" vaccination. The world is full of people who "don't believe in" the facts of modern science. Not long ago the same sort of people "didn't believe in" flying machines. The fact is that vaccination has resulted, in 132 years, in making smallpox a minor and controllable infection in every civilized country. Vaccination is not pleasant, and there are people who are unhappy when deprived of the privilege of shooting off revolvers at random.

The chain store fills a place in our present social-economic system, as is proved by the amazing development of numerous organizations operating hundreds or thousands of retail outlets. The independent local merchant, however, fills a much more important place in his community, and is entitled to protection. Local merchandising methods, especially in the smaller communities, have been greatly improved by reason of chain-store competition and example, and it would be a loss to most towns if chain stores should be suppressed and the old, slipshod, inefficient retailing methods which once prevailed almost everywhere, were to return. PENSIONS I take off my hat to John Hawkes, of Beacon, N. Y. Mr. Hawkes is 72 years old. He heard that the State of New York had adopted an old age pension law, so he went to the town hall and applied for his allowance. As he was out of work, the application was granted and he collected $90 in the course of a few weeks.

Violet may be used for the flowers alone or with pink. On a pink dress the flowers may be of light blue or of white and pink; white or yellow flowers are attractive on blue. Small bouquets of this sort may be rate sachets, lingerie cases and other dalnty dressing room accessories. Flowers are used in a wide variety of ways on the summer dresses. A lawn collar used on a black flat crepe dress is edged with white lace flowers which also edge the short sleeves of black flat crepe. A white chiffon dress is trimmed along the lower edge of the skirt with a row of black lace roses appliqued to the chiffon. In spite of the fact that more naturalistic flowers of silk, velvet, etc., have returned to favor for evening and afternoon wear, the conventionalized rather formal flowers are still favored for street wear and in Paris those of white pique, black patent leather and lizard skin are decidedly smart.

Although the dimensions of the Whitewater siphon will be approximately the same as those of the Jawbone siphon now in use, because of greater pressure, the capacity of the proposed tube will be four times that of the great pipe in the illustration—making possible the delivery of one billion gallons of water a day to the 14 cities of the Metropolitan Water District. Then he learned that the old-age pension was only for persons who were dependent upon others, or unable to earn a living. That put another light on it in the eyes of old John Hawkes. He went out and got himself a job and before long walked into the town hall again. He laid $90 on the clerk's desk and told him to give it to somebody that couldn't earn anything. He was willing to take an old-age pension, but not when it carried the stigma of pauperism with it! John Hawkes is the sort of American that one can be proud of. He puts self-respect above money. There are too many men younger than he who are content to live on charity; too few who refuse to accept anything they have not earned. Christian Science Lesson-Sermon "Is the Universe, including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?" is the subject of the Christian Science Lesson-Sermon, Sunday, in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The Lesson-Sermon answers the question in the negative by presenting citations from the Bible and correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy. One of the Scriptural selections includes the inspired statements of the Revelator: "And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: ... And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God all ye his servants, and ye that The ribbonzene wreath is used here on a little girl's dress but would be as appropriate on an older girl's dance dress of the demure sort.
