Our health and happiness may depend upon an exact knowledge along this line. It is equally essential for our happiness and welfare to know where our property lines are; where are the limits of our county, State or Nation. Many wars have been fought in the past over the question of the exact location of a boundary line between countries. There is an old saying, out in the country dis- tric that “good fences make good | neighbors. While this is certainly true in any farming community, ap- | plied to nations it is equally true that | good boundaries make: good neigh- bors. There is one comparatively small and little observed bureau in the Fed- eral Government organization which is constantly at work setting up re- liable landmarks by which we may at any time determine just where we are at, and which is especlally val- uable to commerce by furnishing men who go down to the sea in ships with exact information which warns them |of dangers which might imperil lives |and cargoes. This is the Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey, the oldest scientific bureau in the entire Government service, which today employs more and better scien- tiste than any other institution or organization in the world. Your his- toric interest will be aroused when you are told that this bureau was started by Thomas Jefferson himself, who persuaded his personal friend, Ferdinand Hassler, a Swiss engineer, to start the system, which has never gince been found wanting or been changed Markers Are Used. This service tells each individual American citizen just where he is at and follows him around the clock.

The Coast and Geodetic Survey does the pioneer work of the coun- try- t sea as well as on land. Its men, who are at once engineers and navigators, do 85 per cent of their work at sea, and are the best com- bination along these lines in the world, because when they start their investigations they have no charts to guide them, and they must be everlastingly correct to the last ten- thousandth ~of an® inch. That is thelr sacred creed, because the lives of all men who go down to the se in ships depend upon their accuracy. They plot the everchanging roads of the sea with pen and ink: they measure the strength of the ocean's current with minute mathematical exactness; they comb the ocean for pinnacles of rocky mountains and lo- cate them, o that the mariner who follows may not pile his ship upon them. Within the last three vears earth- quakes have been feit in 25 States and in Canada near the border; both under the sea off the coast of Oregon and in Porto Rico, Hawailan Islands, the Philippines and Alaska. Some of these caused more or less local dam- age. In these same regions during historic times there have béen at Jeast elght major earthquakes which caused widespread damage and 10ss of life. Karthquake study is there- fore important to thé country as a whole, and this Federal survey is co-operating with other Government departments and the Carnegie Insti- tution of Washington in a concerted attack upon this problém. Survey Alaskan Waters Again, one of the greatest tasks which confronts the survey is com- pletion of the survey of Alaskan w ters. Alaska m sidered as the last Americar r, and as it is not conected by railroad with the continental United States it is en- tirely dependent upon water-borne transportation for its development It is known that Alaska s extremely rich in its vast and varied amount of natural resources, which includes such much-needed products as crude ofl, coal, timber for paper pulp, mar- ble, lumber and enormous quantities of food fish. The greater part of Alas- kan waters still remains unsury The history of Alaska has been w calamity of sunken vessels—literally by the score big ships were lost, with @reat sacrifice of life. Under Col Jones' administration the main chan- el of southeastern Aluska for some 450 miles, from the International boundaty to Cape neer, has been surveved to a depth of $5 feet at low water and swept by a wire drag to locate pinnacle rocks, so that it is fow as safe as New York Harbor These are merely illustrations of the | sort of work that is being done by a Government agency almost unknown to nine hundred and ninety-nine per- sons out of every thousand it serves— nd don't they prove the value of such a service as these *You and Uncle Sa. rticles to get you acquainted with what Uncle Sam does for you?
