(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Recon-
struction of American affairs at home
and abroad is the theme of the sixty
seventh congress, assembling at noon
today in extraordinary session at the
call Of President Harding. A vast
eXpanse of legislation, promising to
prolong the session confronts the new
congress.
Programs Of the senate and house
for today's opening were confined %
organization. The work of the new
congress, informally arranged by pre-
session conferences of leaders, await
ed formal delineatiOn, tomorrow or
Wednesday, in President Harding's
message. This was expected to deal
principally with domestic affairs, tar
iff, internal revenue and other home
legislation. Peace and other interna-
tional problems were scheduled for at
tention later ii ttii,e session.
The special session beginning today
which will be the first of three
marks the return of the republican
party to complete national control Not
since President Taft's time have the
white house, the senate and house and
the government departments all beer
under republican rule. The senate
convnes with SO republicans and 81
democrats and the house with 800 re-
publicans and 1872 democrats and one
socialist.
program is fiscal legislation. This in
cludes the Fordney emergency tariff
bill, in line for immediate action, an
ti-dumping legislation, substitution of
American for foreign valuations of i'm
ports, permanent tariff revision,
new internal revenue tax law, the bud
get system bill, and the soldiers bonus
BILL Other measures are those for re-
organization of government depart
ments and for classification of fed
eral salary and wage scales.
The opening flood of bills and reso-
!utions which failed during the last
congress which adjourned March A,
last, always begins in the house. In
PRODUCTION of senate bills and resolu-
tions comes tomorrow.
Most of the senate and house men,
bers, new and old, were present for
today's opening. Although perfume
tory, the opening session always is the
magnet for spectators. The senate
having organized during it's special
session after March 4, interest today
centered in the house proceedings.

MUST HAVE
POWER
Proper Development of Re-
sources in California Can
not be Had Without In
crease in HydrO-Electric
Energy.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 11.-Pow-
er is the most vital and essential ele-
ment in considering plans for the fu-
ture growth of California and the de-
velopment and expansion of her in
dustries, Robert Newton Lynch, vice
president of the California Develop
ment board and vice president of the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
announced.
Engineers have estimated, Mr.
Lynch said, the state has a potential
maximum Of 100000 horse power of
hydro energy which it would
be practicable to develop for CONNER
cial purposes. The amount developed
to date totals not more than 900 900
horse power
'To develop the balance" continued
Mr.. Lynch, will require expenditures
in stupendous amounts, almost bill
lion dollars. 1t should be developed
before 1880, if possible, and certainly
before 1885, if Californias industrial
development is to be carried along
lines heretofore followed.
ITO delay such development for a
longer period would cripple our in
dustries and retard the states pre-
destined growth. That such a condi-
tion is not an possibility, it is neces-
sary only to point to the fact that al
ready we are suffering from a short
age of hydro electric power
During 1920 this shortage amount
ed to 20 per cert of the total demand"
Mr. Lynch pointed out that if the
20 per cent of 10000 horse power had
been available more factories could
have been kept in operation, many
more acres of land could have been
irrigated and thousands of more homes
could have been lighted and the finan-
cial returns to the state from such in
creased use of power would reach a
figure that would be staggering.
, In seeking relief from this situation
he said the remedy lies with the peo-
pie and he advised the people to en-
courage the power companies to en-
bark on the most ambitious programs
for increasing hydro electric sources
and welcome such measures as will
save the industries from threatened
power shortage. He said there should
be a spirit of willingness on the part
of the people to assist the utility COM
panies in their efforts to solve the
threatened power shortage before an
actual shortage comes.

(BY Associated Preasl

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
boundary between Oklahoma and Tex
as follows the south bank of the Red
River the Supreme court held in de-
Gliding the dispute between the two
states. The treaty of 1918 between

said, citing the negotiations between
Secretary of State Adams and the
Spanish envoy at that time when Tex
as was part of Mexico.

Parent t-Te0cherS' Association
Holds One of Most Interesting
Meetings of Entire Year.

The meeting of the Parent Teachers
association held last Friday was a
most interesting and entertaining af-
fair and was attended by an unusually
ter of the program presented.
According to the report of the COM
mittee in charge of Baby Week, rem
dered by the chairman over 40 infants
were examined. All scored very high,
the percentages ranging from SO, the
lowest, to 80 the highest. The little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. O. G. Horne has
the distinction of making the most
nearly perfect record. The week was
altogether worth while though there
were fewer babies entered than had
been expected. The organization will
observe the week again next year
with a hope of interesting every moth
er in the city in the project which has
meant so much to the babies of Amer
lea since it was undertaken by the u.
S. government some years ago. :
Delightful music was furnished at
the session by girls of the eighth grade
at the Wilson school,
The address of DR.. McGaughey of
Imperial on the Boy Question was
timely and gave those present much
food for thought. The early adolescent
period of the boy and girl is the time
to fix ideals of morals and future con-
duct. Impressions made at the age of
13 to IA, and IA to rs, are lasting
The speaker pleaded for a closer CO.
operation of school and home, for the
fixing in the. minds and hearts of the
boys and girls of those ideals of
morals and conduct that will insure
America from decandence. Girls in
large sense fix the standards by which
womanhood is to be regarded by their
generation of men. The speaker has
had intimate relationship with young
people and spoke with great earnest
ness as we'll as with knowledge of his
subject
Miss Buell. of the high school facul-
ty talked on the Girl Question with
heartfelt interest that compelled the
attention of everyone present. She,
too, urged closer cooperation of par
ents and schools, saying that there are
serious problems to be met, problems
the solution of which is imperative,
and which should command the atten-
ton of every one interested in the boy
and girl now in the high school.

CALEXICO LEADS AS
CHIEF PORT ENTRY
Especial to The Press

CALEXICO, April 11.-According
to the official report of the collector
of customs for the southern district,
just received, the exports for March
totalled $3.50, ,070. and of this amount
CaleXico led with $1S4,637
The imports for the same period for
the district were $6S2 ,044, and Calexi-
co again led with $629,363.
This shows that while business is
dull in these lines that CaleXico leads
all the district, which includes San
Diego, by large amount as usual and
shows the port of Calexico as the most
important in the district. CaleXico
also lead when Los Angeles was part
of the southern district.

DEPARTMENTAL
PLAN FAVORED
BY COMMITTEE
Reorganization of State Govern
ment viii Come Before Legis-
Iature Early This Week.

SACRAMENTO, April 11.-The
plan for reorganization of the state
government along departmental lines,
which was presented early in the ses-
sion by Governor Stephens, and has
since been under committee considera-
tion, will come out on the floor, prob
ably in the assembly, early this week,
with the recommendation that it do
pass, according to members of the
joint committee that has been consid-
ering all efficiency and economy bills.
The governors plan has been sub
stantially modified in important parti-
culars, some of which have been
guarded from all except the commit
tee. 1t is known that the bill creating
a department of labor has been en-
tirely redrawn, for the reason assigned
by committee members, that in its or
iginal form it was not satisfactory to
either employers or employees.
The bill offered to the Tax Payers
Association Of California, and COM
monty known as the Fischer bill, will
not be reported out, it was understood,
and the question of whether its sup
porters will attempt to take it from
the committee by vote Of the assem-
ly is under consideration here. The
Fischer bill was presented fully to the
committee, and then the administra-
tion bills were taken up again, for
further study and reconsideration. At
torney General Webb met with the
joint committee on efficiency and eco
nomy yesterday, and the meetings wer
to continue tomorrow, in an effort to
get the bills in shape so that they
might be sent out Monday.

EX-KA|SER|NE
DIES At D00RN
(By Associated Press)

DOORN, Holland, April 11.-Form-
or Empress Augusta Victoria, of Ger
many, died here at 6 o'clock this
morning. BY a strange coincidence
the end came exactly year after she
suffered her first serious attack of
heart disease. She had been gradu-
ally sinking from the first and last
autumn her condition gradually grew
worse and early in the year all hope
for her recovery was abandoned. Form
er Emperor William and Prince Adel-
bert were at her bedside when the end
came. The Princess Victoria Louise,
summoned on Saturday had not
reached Doom when her mother died.
The former emperor stood with bowed
head when death came to his consort
and he remained alone in the room for
sometime afterward.
The former empress lapsed into a
state of semi-consciousness early last
night and was kept from suffering by
frequent injections of hypodermics
Because of her serious condition last
July, when her son, Prince Joachim
committed suicide, she never learned
that he had killed himself. The inter,
ment will be with simple ceremony
at Potsdam.
