The object of the experiment 1

The object of the experiment Is to obtain data expected to prove of great value in the construction Of dams in the Los Angeles county flood control program, in which sp- proximately s35.0o0,o0o will he spent. On several of these projects the use of the constant angle arch type is anticipated.
 It is the theory of many engin- eers that the constant angle arch type will permit the use of thinner construction than has been tried heretofore. If true. this would re- duce materially the cost of dams.
 The experimental dam will be no feet long and so feet high when the first tests are made. Special instruments will be inserted in the concrete to test stresses, de- factions and temperature changes as the load Of water is increased. After this information is obtained, the height Of the arch will be run up to 100 feet. The water then will be allowed to rise to the point at

AMERICAN FILMS
 OUST|NG BRITISH English Producers Vail Empire
 Is Being Americaniza

London, April 5.-Ths moaning and wringing of hands over the sad state of the British moving picture film business waxes louder day by day. Perhaps the public cares, but many an envious eye at Hollywood, and they lift their voices. fervently hoping to catch the ears of both government and the people, and # shows no inclination to cease cro Tding into the hundreds of Britt ish. theatera where American films are run off almost exclusively, year in and year out.
 The British film makers cast protest that even England's own dominions and colonies are being Americanized by the subtle propaA ~anda contained in the ceiluloidal products of the studios of California md New York. Lest their argu- ncnts fall on deaf ears, trade, the try life blood of the empire, Is fought into play. would seem that trade has broken itself of the .abit of following flags; these days it follows the film. There is very active campaign on to have the Baldwin government slap heavy tax on foreign films, and help the tottering movie magnates Of this country until their business grows up and becomes steady on it's feet. The government has so far kept silent upon it's intentions, if any, as regards the movies.
 Meanwhile dollar-laden magnates of the movies breezes in from Broadway, one after another and whizz around the British Isles, building up defenses against com petition from other sources and bol- stering their English business. Some of them have even gone so far as 10 begin building or buying large heaters of their own in the pre- c.nots of Piccadilly Circus.

 Mrs. Thompson, he practically lived
 on halibut boats for two years. On the logs of the vessels, nine months
 were spent in their study. Splen- did cooperation was received from the halibut fishermen, and, it is said,
 during the end of the long study,
 masters of the hundreds of boats, were wing with one another in an
 effort to have the honor of the in- vestigator's company on trips. So
 enthused were the crews of the hal ibut boats that they rendered much valuable assistance to Dr. Thompson in preparing specimens, spending
 hours at a time, disecting, per in- structions, the small bones in heads of thousands of halibut, then extra hours in polishing them down to a point when they would be turned
 over to pr. Thompson for final andy sis. It appears certain rings around
 these small bones, about as long as they are thick, are brought to light with this polishing, and the age of the halibut is thus determined. Gateway To Publish Papers.
