that as a background the dancers

the leader feels each character in the
music. His baton seemed charged
with electric energy-and direful UNI
derstanding. And the dash and crash
of those closing measures of Carmen

With the exception of the Panama

in the world. The dam across the
Mississippi is approaching completion
and it has involved the building of
the largest monolithic concrete struc-
ture in existence. Such an undertake
ing as this necessitates some great
mechanical and CONSTITUTIONAL devices.
he picture includes views of the work
as it is being carried out. For example,
We see the huge concrete mixers with
a capacity of 1900 cubic yards per
day and we see rocks being crushed
at the rate of 500 car loads. There is
a power house, third of mile long.
An inclined railway carries material
to the concrete mixers; a very large
cantilever travelling crane places the
concrete in the dam. There is a view
Of a great new lock in course of con-
struction. 1t was necessary to saw a
channel in the bedrock of the Ameri-

disposed OF, George w. Seibert. fore
man of the jury. related a story in
which Bible figured prominently. Mr..
Seibert said that his mother had Civ
en- him an old-fashioned family Bible
when he married About two years
after his marriage Mr.. Seibert needed
money, he said, and had almost de-
clded to dispose Of the Bible. When
such thoughts were occupying his
mind, Mr.. Seibert picked up the Bible
one day and began turning over the
leaves of the book. He had passed
over several pages when his eyes fell
on two $50 bills. His mother had
placed them in the Bible when she
had presented the book to him. Mr..
