COLORADO RESERVOIR BREAKS

A reservoir seven miles long and
holding water eighty-seven feet deep,
broke last Thursday. 1t was built
two years ago for irrigation pur-
poses, and cloudbursts filled the res
ervoir to an unusual height, and the
spillways and outlet were of too
small capacity to enable them to
draw off the water fast enough to
prevent it's breaking the dam.
The dam consisted of a concrete
foundation about twenty feet high,
and an earth dyke built on top Of
that eighty-six feet high. The dyke
was 600 feet long and about hun
dred feet thick, but it softened and
crumbled and turned loose wall of
water that rolled over the concrete
base and quickly swept the dyke
away for its full length. Then the
lake seven miles long simply moved
down the valley sweeping everything
before it. Warnings had been sent
down the valley and people were ex-
pecting the final message to take to
the hills, and they saved some of the
effects. Crops, roads and bridges
and many buildings were swept away
or ruined, and considerable railroad
track was destroyed.

ANIPLIFIED CONCERTS

Edward ThoresOn, of the Palace
Drug store, has installed a set OF
amplif1ers for use in connection with
concerts given with the Brunswick
Such instruments are usually kept in
the sales room of store and furnish
music for those within the room, and
Mr.. Thoreson places his instrument
in the back room of the store, and by
means of the amplifier set and line
of telephone wire, he carries it to the
front of the building and spreads it
upon the air for blocks around. 1t
is given out thru horn at the end
of the wire, and the horn can be
placed at any desired distance from
the. instrument, by extending the
wire.
The amplifier has an extra wire
with mouthpiece to speak into, and
the voice can be mingled with the in
strumental music, either by singing
or speaking. One evening this week
while the concert was in progress
and there was quite an assemblage
in cars and along the walk in front
of the store, somebody observed that
Milton H. Fehnel was there with a
party of friends, and went into the
room where the amplifier was and
spoke into it, and those on the street
were startled atAhearing the follow
ing announcement blending with the
music, Salt Lake 10y, Utah: In an
automobile wreck that has just oc-
Cured here, woman was seriously
injured, and keeps calling the name

But Fehnel did not fall for the
trick. He knew that some running
mate was putting up a job on him,
and he remained among his friends
and shared in the laugh.

for the best or most beautiful bath

and the populace lines up along the

1t is considered quite beauty show,

equal difficulty in justifying their abb

WORK FOR AN EDUCATION

Announcement has just been made
from the office of President G. R.
Frazier of the Technical Institute
that C. G. Thomson, Professor OF
Sociology at the institution, will also
act as vocational secretary beginning
September, 1928. Four years ago
soon after coming on the ground,
President Frazier obtained permits
sion from the state board to secure
vocational secretary because he
recognized the Importance of expert
advice to young people in the matter
of the choice of an occupation and
also of the advantage of having an
official who would give time and at
tention to the securing Of jobs and
positions for students. Not until
now has he found the right combina-
ton
President Frazier expresses him
self as being enthusiastic over Pro-
fessor Thomason's qualifications for
this work and believes that large
benefits will come to many individual
students and to the student body in
general thru this work. Professor
Thomson will have a desk in the
corridor of the main building con-
venient of access for students. Dur
ing the war, and after, Mr.. Thoma-
son, did much vocational training
and vocational advisement for the
Government and is well fitted for
this undertaking.
President Frazier also stated thai
this step was in harmony with the
practice in many of the best institu-
lions in the country and is another
step in advance for the Idaho Tech
nical Institute.
