HOU STON — It covers five acres
and stands about 60 feet high. It
looms darkly in the sunrise or sun
set, depending on which way one is
crawling in rush hour traffic. And it
is growing.
Otherwise, not much can be said
for certain about the mysterious
mountain of dirt that has risen in re
cent weeks alongside the U.S. 59-
Loop 610 interchange, Texas’
busiest crossroads.
For weeks, trucks have dumped
dirt on the narrow 10-acre tract
owned by Stuart Corp. For weeks, a
tractor has shaped the pile, and
hundreds of thousands of commut
ers have stared and scratched their
heads.
“There’s about 120,000 yards of
dirt in there now,” said a Stuart
spokesman. He said the dirt came
from “people putting in swimming
pools and service stations and office
buildings and apartments and
ditches and streets.”

The owner of the firm preferred
to remain unnamed to avoid “calls
from kooky people wanting to
know what he plans to do with the
massive pile of dirt. Truth is, he
hasn’t decided.
“The original impetus was to
build a water slide, but we didn’t get
the dirt in here quickly enough and
the season went by.
“Since that time, we have pur
sued some other concepts, such as
an artificial ski slope. We were
thinking of a miniamusement park.
What that will involve is anybody’s
guess.”
A ski slope?
“Or a revolving nightclub. Or,
from the standpoint of a lookout, it’s
fantastic in the sense that you can
see Sharpstown, Greenway Plaza,
The Galleria, and the Astrodome.
And that interchange is nothing but
pure energy.”
The site may be worth “$5 or $10
million,” he said, “but the reality
might mean you might have to move
the dirt off and it might cost half a
million.”

WASHINGTON — Residents of
west Texas may have a harder time
washing clothes than other Ameri
cans, but reportedly they also have
the lowest death rate from heart
disease in the United States.
The Federation of American
Societies for Experimental Biology
reported on a recent study which
suggests there may be a link bet
ween the hard water and low heart
disease rates. It indicates that hard
water may protect the heart and ar
teries from high sodium level.
The report, from a group headed
by Dr. Earl B. Dawson at the Uni
versity of Texas Medical Branch in
Galveston, compared metal levels in
urine samples and in the drinking
water of 24 west Texas com
munities. It compared those levels
to cardiovascular mortality rates.
"The Upper Rio Grande Valley
has the hardest water with the high
est lithium content in the United
States, Dawson said in a telephone
interview. “It also has the lowest
cardiovascular mortality rate in the
United States.
The Texas report, earlier printed
in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, was another in a series of
studies from around the world
searching for a relationship between
water hardness and heart disease.
The previous reports have been con-

"Lithium, which seems tok

Too much sodium, which wet'j
from eating salt, is considered
ful to heart disease patients. Clini
studies imply that excessive W
sodium can adversely affect
tissue in humans, the federate
said.
Dawson noted that Finland
which has some of the world’s d- icrigl
