Leroy Young, 1110

geles, Is a "regular
fellow," active la
sports, and at the top
In Ills classes at
school. To look at
hliu now, you'd think
lie never had a day's
sickness but Ills mother says: "When
Leroy was just a little fellow, we
found his stomach and bowels were
weak. He kept suffering from con-
stipation. Nothing he ate agreed with
him. He was fretful, feverish and
puny.
"When we started giving him Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup his condition Im-
proved quickly. His constipation and
biliousness stopped and he has had
no more trouble of that kind. I have
eince used California Fig Syrup with
him for colds and upset spells. He
likes it because it tastes so good and
I like it because it helps him so won-
derfully!"
California Fig Syrup has been the
trusted standby of mothers for over
60 years. Leading physicians recom-
mend it. It is purely vegetable and
works with Nature to regulate, tone
and strengthen the stomach and
bowels of children so they get full
nourishment from their food and
waste is eliminated in a normal way.
Four million bottles used a yeur
shows how mothers depend on it. Al-
ways look for the word "California"
on the carton to be sure of getting
the genuine.

Lower Forms of Life
Sacred to Egyptians
Nearly .100 different mammals, birds,
reptiles and fish were regarded as sa-
bred to various gods in ancient Egypt,
and their bodies were mummified by
thousands, Prof. Hoy L. Moodie has
found while investigating this subject
for the Field Museum of Chicago.
The cost of this religious procedure
was enormous. More than 200 yards
of fine linen cloth, a half yard wide,
was needed for the wrapping of a sin-
gle bull. As bulls were held in ex-
treme veneration by the ancient Egyp-
tians, great numbers of them were
preserved. Expensive sarcophagi, carv-
ings and statuary show the further
care of the African bull. Birds of the
hawk and falcon type were also
abundantly preserved, as was the
Egyptian kite, a small scavenger seen
today perched on housetops and In
trees near villages. Packages contain
us many as forty birds, each mummi-
fied and dipped In pitch before wrap-
ping.
Map of Old Empire
Plans for making a great historic
map of the Roman empire have been
announced by an international com-
mission of geographers. The commis-
sion was appointed to publish the map
by the international geographical con-
gress, Several months ago. The map
sheets will show cities and other geo-
graphical features which figured in the
development of the Roman empire
from the time the Romans appeared
Jn any region to the fall of the west-
ern empire. Both ancient and modern
names will be given. Distribution and
types of population will lie indicated,
as well ns important economic and so-
cial conditions. The sheet containing
the city of Rome Is now in process of
preparation.

President Hoover Wants to
Complete Big Task in
Eighteen Years.
Washington. — Recognizing the Im-
portance ot accurate maps to engi-
neers, President Hoover hus an-
nounced hla intention of usklng con-
gress for funds to speed to completion
the topographic mapping of the United
States. Under his plan the job will be
completed in eighteen years, Instead
of eighty-eight years, the time re-
quired If the work proceeds no faster
than its present rate.
So far the undertaking is less than
half done, and engineers have been
urging the government to push the
work more rapidly. Two agencies will
carry out the project. The coast and
geodetic survey will establish a sys-
tem of trlangulatlon controls. The
geological survey, using this system as
a framework, will then proceed with
the topographical mapping of the
country.
Work of a Century.
In the last 100 years the coast and
geodetic survey has established a
complete system of trlangulatlon sta-
tions along the Atlantic, the Gulf and
the Pacific coasts. Such stations ex-
tend also up navigable rivers to the
head of tidewater. In addition, thou-
sands of stations have been estab-
lished in other parts of the country
and along the border between the
United States and Canada. The work,
however, has been proceeding slowly
and a vast area still remains to be
covered.
In 1900 the coast and geodetic sur-
vey had completed only 7,000 miles
of arc of the first order. Now, the
total is 26,000 miles, and the engi-
neers are adding to this at the rate
of about 1,000 miles a year. The coast
and geodetic survey has been follow-
ing a plan which calls for arcs of first
and second order trlangulatlon
throughout the country, the triangles
being so spaced that no place in the
country will be more than twenty-five
miles from a trlangulatlon station.
This will be brought about when 49,-
000 miles of arcs are added to those
now existing. The Intermediate areas
will be covered by third order trlan-
gulatlon, or by traverse surveys by
those who want to make detailed sur-
veys, charts or maps.
Pick Central Point
Thirty years ago" a central point
was selected for making surveys and
charts In the United States and con-
tiguous waters. The station is known
as Meade's ranch and Is located about
twelve miles north of Lucas, Kan. In
1912 the geodetic engineers of Canada
and Mexico also adopted this as their
Initial station, so there Is now a sin-
gle central or Initial surveying
station for all of North America.
Its use will preclude discrepancies In
the charts and maps.of territory close
to the borders of either of the adjoin-
ing countries.
Throughout the 100 years of Its ex-
istence the coast and geodetic survey
has endeavored to mark its trlanguln-
latlon stations in such a way that
there would be no difficulty In finding
them at any time In the future. It has
not alwa. s been successful for nature
and the works of man have destroyed
some of the markers. Campers and
others have occasionally taken them
up In the hope of tindiug buried treas-
ure nearby.
Blocks of stone or musses of concrete
were set up, often carrying the let-
ters "U. S. C. S." Few people knew
just what the letters meant, or what
the markers were for. For the past
twenty years the survey has adopted
a plan of putting a properly inscribed
metal tablet into the stone or the con-
crete at each trlangulatlon station.
This tablet tells the visitor that be
may learn the signification of the sta-
tion by writing to the director of the
survey at Washington. In thus taking
the public into its confidence the sur-
vey has saved many of its markers
from destruction.
Value to Industries.
"It is difficult to overestimate the
value of a good topographic survey
to the industries of u nation." says
Dr. William W. Bowie, chief of geod-
esy in the coast and geodetic survey.
"It makes no difference whether the
engineer Is laying out a new highway,
erecting a hydroelectric plant, drain-
ing a swamp, extending canals from
an Irrigation reservoir or controlling
the flood waters of a river, he should
have on accurate topographic map
from which to scale distances and
compute slopes. Without such a map
he is working with Insufficient data,
and his operations are likely to cost
him far more money than would be
expended had the topographic map
been available.
"The topographic map cannot be

made true to scale and have its vari-
ous topographic features placed in
their proper geographic positions un-
less the map Is controlled by triangu-
lation.
"In the United States we have for
many years Suffered from the lack of
first order triangulatlon In our sur-
veying, mapping and charting, but this
situation Is greatly improved, and the
situation In this country in the near
future should be entirely satisfac-
tory."
The great arcs of trlangulatlon bear
nearly the same relation to charts,
maps and surveys that the steel
framework bears to the Individual
ports of a building, such as the floors
walls, windows and elevator shafts.
Without the steel framework the
building would not stand up; the
framework is needed to hold the vari-
ous parts of the building together,
and to co ordinate those parts. First-
order triangulatlon has the same
function In the topographical mapping
of the country.
Important Benefits.
The trlangulatlon program will yield
important benefits to individual states
and other political subdivisions. For
it will enable them to accurately de-
termine the longitudes nnd latitudes
by which to locate their boundaries.
Many counties do not know their ex-
act boundaries or urea.
A county in a southern state not
long ago wanted to float a loan with
New York bankers. When asked what
the area of the county was. Its officials
could not Inform them, for the reason
that It had not been accurately
mapped. So the New Yorkers had to
make a survey of their own before
they could make the required loan.
Completion of the system of trlangula-
tlon controls will remove such uncer-
tainties.
It will cost the const nnd geodetic
survey about $4,500,000 to complete its
part of the work within the next ten
years.

1929 a Healthful Year
Despite Flu Epidemic
New York.—In spite of the Influenza
epidemic during the first three months
of the year, 1020 hns been a healthy-
one, statisticians of the Metropol-
itan Life Insurance company have
announced. At that the years 11)28 nnd
1027 made better health records from
January to September, the period
which has just been surveyed for the
current yenr.
Heart disease Is still the leading
cause of death. Encouraging decreases
occurred in the tuberculosis and ma-
ternity death rates, while that for
diphtheria was the lowest recorded in
the history of the company. This Is
considered due U> the Intensive nntl-
diphtheria campaigns waged during
recent years by ^u"lons health depart-
ments.
Cancer and diabetes showed In-
creased death rates and the mortality
for automobile accidents Increased by
one-tenth over that of the same period
for 1028.
