Royal Matchmakers I'm Rome

ROME, Nov. 16.---Rumors persist here
concerning the betrothal Of Princess
Yolanda, the eldest daughter Of the
King and Queen Of Italy. When the
Prince OF Wales Waited the Eternal
City the quid nunes were sure that he
had come a-wooing, disregarding the
grave obstacle that the difference Of
religions presented to such match.
When the Belgian sovsreigns came
there was equal certainty Of match

Earthquakes i'm Research Test

to Determine Battling Factors

BERLIN, Nov. 25 (By The Associated
press) Artificial earthquakes, pro-
duced by explosives, are being staged
In the Rhoen Mountains by German
scientists for the purpose of determin-
ing certain factors heretofore variable
in such catastrophes as recently &C.
CURED in Chile.
The center of the experiments Is
Heidelstein Mountain, nesr the scene
of the recent glider contests and a
part of the Rhoen range, which Is
about 1000 meters high and divides
Prussia from Bavaria.
The artificial 'quakes are designed
to be OF equal intensity with the expio-
sion at oppau last year, which was
registered on the seisniograph at Stutt-
gsrt. The experiments will occupy
four days and the detonations are ex-
pected to be audible as far away as
Munich, Lake Constance, Zurich, Basel
eastern Holland, Hamburg, Berlin and
Prague.

that the Democrats are inclined TO

Unity-~But Chance Of Discord
So Sar, the radical and farm blocs
are pretty we'll united. Their purpose
is clear and there is virtually no divi-
sion OF sentiment. Their individual
ideas OF how 1t should be done vary
as to tho farm credits, but not enough
to cause serious dissention. On the
other three points there is chance of
discord.
There Is left the repeal OF the So
called guarantee section of the Esch-
Cumnains law. On this one point alone
there Is no discord in the bloc. Ali the
radicals, progressives and farm bloc
Senator's are for 1t. There are some
widely varying ideas, however, as to
what else should be done TO the rail-
roads through legisIation. It is ex-
pected that the bloc will fight for an
instruction from Congress to the In
terstata Commerce Commission order.

all farm products. This fght will cer-
tainly develop strongly IL it should

the repeal Of the so-called guarantee
section will aot alone result in reduc-

1t ts certain that the repeal of Che
so-called guarantee section will not ac-

voters in the Middle West seem to ex-
psct- The belief throughout that sec.
ton Of the country is very general that
ehe present law guarantees dividends
on all the watered stock Of all the rail-
roads. The fact that some rather .larre
railFoads are not paying any dividends
at all on their alleged watered stock
was circumstance which did not seem
to bother this train of thought.
Hops for Blee's Disintegrasion
Washington for the most part. how
ever. Is far more concerned with what
the bloc may do politically in 1924
than with ~ths legislation it is advo-
eating now. Most political leaders not
identified with the bloc are privately
willing TO let the bloc succeed In PASS
ing the program Of legislation outlined,
on which the bloc is pretty well uniteG.
Then, the oldtime leaders hope and be-
iisve, the bloc will fall apart, as their

Incompatible honor. She was just the
same as when she went away. The

lady, sweet as rose, scintilating as o

Everybody was proud as she walked
through the station. The negro por-
ters smiled and gave her obeisance.
The station officers were proud and
smiling and doffed their caps when she
passed by. The hustling travellers
paused In their hustling to wave their

ClonBt common l&D9F How II AFaIaDhs
at Muscle Shoals ut $3.50 to s2 day
| The srrny engineers who have had
che dam in charge since the cohstrue-
! tion started in 1917 we're not con-
fronted this summer with the neces-
sity Of building working force from
the ground up; they already had on
hand a skeleton organization, about
which they rapidly built their gangs
When the shutdown came two years
ago, the officers in change "put it up
to" their best men to stay on as
watchmen and guards, at reduced
salaries, but right at Wilson dam, so
that when the resumption orders came,
they could 20 back TO their old posi-
ticns and start things off with rush
Hundreds of the best men responded,
and when the "go ahead" did come,
quickly went back to cranes and
throttes and got things going.
The scheme of completion is exactly
the sarnc entertained before the shut
down. There were two gaps In the
foundation line, and these were TO be
filled In by work behind cofferdams.
The erection Of the spillway sections.
power house sections, etc, is also being
undertaken. The eupcrstructure, which
will rise 12i feet above the founda-
tions, Is being put up in the farm of
towering slabs, between which the
water is rushing with tremendous
force. The snterstices between these
slabs will be filled In little by little, in
six-foet sections, until che Anal step of
reaching the spillway height has been
attained. River level new is at 404
feet, the roadway on top of the COM
pleted dam is TO be at 525 feet.
Labor In Three Sections
The work is divided up into sections.
OF the foundation sections, ffty-six out
Of eighty-oight are completed, and half
Of the remainder will be finished this
year. Three blocks out Of total of
ninety-one in the spiilway section are
finished TO the river crest height of 4s3
feet, and an equal number are in work.
On Jackson Island, large island in
the middle Of the river which is eros saed
oy the dam, nineteen blocks are COM
pleted to an elevation OF 4so feet. On
those foundation sections Completed
the rstructure is being slowly but
surely reared, and littls by little the
wilson dam is creeping upward.
On July 10, 1929, when the censtruc-
eion work was Arst renewed, estimates
were chat the dam was 3S per cent
completed, that SO per cent of the ma
serlal needed had been purchased. and
that q little more than 40 per cent of
'he cost had been met. Exact esti-:
mates for the present time are not
available, but they are, roughly. 80 per
cent completed; 43 per cent Of dam
completed. As seen "a the hnsl foun-
cation work has been put in visible
evidences OF the progress will be more
encouraging. At present Wilson dam

across the Tennessee, barriny all ravf-
cation.
Inc finished dam will be one Of the
ehsineering marvels Of the age. In it's
construction more concrete is being
poured than was required by the Az
suan dam, on the Nile, or any Of the
famous projects. Wilson dam is to re-
auire 100000 cubic yards of massnrv
