RIALTO-"The Goose Woman"

Louise Dresser, Jack Pickford and
Constance Bennett are featured in
"The Goose Woman" by Rex Beach,
which will be the photoplay attraction
at the Rialto next week
Louise Dresser plays the role of a
grand opera star who loses her voice
when she gives birth to a son, and
blameS and hates him as the cause of
her misfortune. She slides down the
hill socially, becoming a gin-crazed
Slattern, and her portrayal of this
character is said to be a remarkable
one, being particularly effective in the
scenes showing the erstwhile stage
celebrity living in a shack, raising
geese and drinking like the proverbial
fish.
The romance and love interest in
the story is furnished by Jack Pick
ford and Constance Bennett.
Mischa Guterson has prepared a
special vocal and orchestral prelude.

inch piping that abuts the railroad
track.
If you ask for cup of drinking
water you will be given tumbler and
told to. fill it from a spring which
flows downhill. The water which
seepS from the rock-ribbed ceiling has
been clarified and filtered by its jour
ney through 80 to so feet of granite
lined interstices. 1t is as cold az II it
came directly from a refrigerator
while it is as pure as the finest water
which YOU will find in any spring in
nearby Virginia or Maryland. =
The chill, dank temperature of the
tunnel makes you think that Jack
Frost and his delegation of ice-coated
days are heading toward Washington.
The night crew in particular are
dressed for chilly weather when they
are lowered into the bowels of the
earth. Corduroy breeches, woolen
shirts and sweaters and other habili.
ments of cold-weather costumes are
requisite even while the population
OF. our National Capital is sweating
and sweltering under the sums light
or the moons smile.
When the tunnel is completed the
concrete water duct, of, horseshoe
shape, which will be about feet wide
and of similar height, will be built
A portable steel form, which will be
mounted on wheels and provided with
collapsihle attachments, will be util
lied in 15-foot sections for supporting
the mass concrete until it hardens

pleted the form will be moved to a

competitive bids on the work. A
Washington engineer, Allan Pope, SUBJ
mitted the most acceptable bid and
was awarded the contract. 1t was a
$3.50 900 job to cut through that three
quarter-mile stretch of solid rock and
to install the regulation concrete duct
which was to carry the water supply.
This explains why the year 1925 has
seen a revival of mining in the Dis
trict-a sort of a throw-back to Wash
ington's former mining furore, when
somebody discovered evidence of low
grade gold on the Maryland side of
the Potomac several miles from Great
Falls and embarked in an unsuccess-
full commercial attempt to win a for
tune from the gold-bearing strata Of
that rugged neighborhood.

THE last days of 1925 will have
faded before the tunnel-digging
task is completed. Battling against
guaranteed granite is almost as diff
cult an assignment as trying to con-
quer the Arctic Circle ice foes. Mere
man would find the job superhuman
task if he tackled 1t pick-and-shovel
fashion. The work has been partially
simplified by the use of mechanical
fingers and by the disruptive effects
of heavy discharges of dynamite. The
task might well be likened to the
colossal order of pulling the earthS
molars, if there were such.
The first thing which Mr.. Pope and
his aides did was to construct shops
and sheds and TO mount their massive
machinery on substantial foundations
at the central sector of the granite
vein. In the equipment are two si-
gantic air compreSsors which q. are
capacitated to deliver 1000 cubic feet
of compressed air minute for me-
chanical uses. There is also a com
pressed "a ir tool-a drill Sharpener
which can edge 500 steels daily. An
oil furnace is used to heat and temper
the steel drills, which range from .
to 10 feet in length and bore hole
l y inches in diameter. Each steel is
heated to the temperature of 100
degrees. At this temperature steel
loses it's magnetic qualities. A spe-
cial electrical device is used to test
each f1aming-hot drill point, to make
sure that 1t has lost it's magnetiza-
ton, which, of course, means that 1t
has been heated sufficiently.
The compressed air supply is piped
in galvanized casing to the tunnelway,
where it is used to function efficient
drilling machines, called "drifters."
The drill point, set in the "drifter,"
rotates so rapidly that mans eye can
not follow it's progress. 1t dulls one
of the drills to bore a hole IL to 18
inches deep where granite Is the OBJ
structing material. Hence to drill a
dynamite hole S\feet deep, six to eight
drills have to be'used. The crews dull
from 200 to 800 steels daily, and keep
the shopmen busy sharpening the
tools.

load 1t is elevated to platform chutes
that are 20 to 40 feet above the
ground The load is dumped into one
of these chutes and flows by gravity
to the rock -crusher.
After the rock is crushed it is de-
livered to a belt conveyor which car
1es it to the surplus rock pile. The
crushed rock is sold and used in pay
ing city and suburban streets and
alleys

total of about 500 feet

potential downpour of loosened rock,
whose masses might choke up the tun-

timbering consists Of mammoth pieces,
10 inches square, in cross.section. The
3.inch planking supported by these
braces consists of strong and durable
oak.
A water pipeline extends the length

out of solid granite. It carries a water
supply under a 100-pound pressure,

Unexpectedly, without an instant's
leeway, they may be called to shake
hands with Death.
A narrow gauge railroad track is
laid along the pathway of the tunnel
to aid in the transportat ton of rock
and muck from the scene of explosion
to the above ground rock crusher. A
gasoline tractor, provided with spe-
cial locomotive attachments, is used
as the motive power to haul the rock
cars from the tunnel headings to the
central hoist. Trouble is experienced
in running the gasoline vehicle so far

moisture conditions make it difficult

An explosion is set off in the heading

chinery is being used to load the rock
debris on the tram cars in that sector,
the drill crew works at the opposite
end of the tunnel, preparing to make
second shot, which will wreck the
rock barrier in that vicinity.
Thus the work is continued night

w Y HILE Washington sleeps or
II the Capital City pulsates
VA with the activities of a
business day, modern min
ing is in progress not far
from the halls of Congress. Mighty
machines and experienced rockmen
are attacking great veins of granite.
The details of Washington's latest
venture into rock drilling come from
far underground-down where 1t is
chill on the warmest day, where water
drips constantly from mighty walls
of rock, where miners risk life and
limb, and where all the hazards of
intricate tunneling are faced and
solved.
The writer, arrayed in hip boots, a
capacious slicker and rubber hat, ac-
companied by a photographer simi-
larly garbed, clutched the side of the
rock bucket as it dropped to the bot
tom of Washington's only mining
shaft. Through a mass Of granite as
solid as the rock of Gibraltar de-
scended the little car, operated in true
mining style by compressed-air
hoist.
Jumping from the muck car at the
bottom of the shaft, we stepped into
knee-deep water, and saw, stretching
away in either direction, yawning cav
erns, in which electric lights looked
like sputterinE candles, while the dull.
almost mutt1ed, thudS of steel beating
on solid rock resounded.
The tunnel is the connecting link
which will join together the new high
service water reservoir on the high
lands above Nebraska and Massachu-
setts avenues and the concrete pipe
line which will lead to the new filtra-
ton plant now under construction
near the intersection of Conduit road
and the District line.
AS you have motored along the
scenic highways in Rock Creek Park
you have doubtless noticed the mas
sive granite walls which rise almost
sheer from the highway along certain
exposures. Perhaps you have mar
veled at these semi-mountainous
views in this almost tableland region.
1t so happens that the granite vein
which is most outstanding in the park
that has been termed the most nat
urally beautiful reservation of its
kind in the world" extends to the peak
of Nebraska avenue near American
University, where the elevation is
about $50 feet above sea level.
When the Army engineers were
routing the survey line of the water
course which is to convey our filtered
supplies to an elevation where the
water can flow by gravity to the high
est building in the District they came
face to face with this granite vein
enigma. They sunk shafts about 800
feet apart in order 20 study the rock
formation. These shafts ranged in
depth from 40 to 125 feet.

acquired in this novel way We're the
basis of the tunnel specifications
which they subsequently submitted to
the commercial engineering public for

Selma laughed, too, even while she
protested his laughter. "But they

full. Like Jade and Burgundy. No,
Observation-Disclosures that mike
chrysoprase and porphyry. All those
fields of cabbages and the corn and
the beet-tops together look like Persian
patches"
Which was, certainly, no way for a
new school teacher to talk to a Hol-
land truck gardener driving his team
along the dirt road on his way to High
Prairie. But then, Selma, remember,
had read Byron at seventeen.
Klaas Pool knew nothing Of chry-
soprase and porphyry. Nor of Byron.
Nor, for that matter, of jade and Bur-
gundy. But he did know cabbages,
both green and red. He knew cabbage
from seed to sauerkraut; he knew and
grew varieties from the sturdy Flat
Dutch to the early Wakefield. But
that they were beautiful; that they
looked like jewels; that they lay like
Persian patches, had never entered his
head, and rightly. What has the
head Of cabbage, or for that matter,
of robust, soil-stained, toiling Dutch
truck farmer to do with nonsense like
chrysoprase, with jade, with Burgundy,
with Persian patternsl
The horses chopped down the heavy
country road. Now and again the bulk
beside Selma was agitated silently. as
before. And from between the golden
fuzz Of stubble beard she would hear
"Cabbages! Cabbages is" But she
did not feel offended She could not
have been offended at anything today
For In spite Of her recent tragedy, her
nineteen years, her loneliness, the ter
rifying thought of this new home to
which she was going, among strangers,
she was conscious of warm thrill of
elation, of excitement-of adventure
That was it. 1.-THE whole things Just
a grand adventure" Simeon Peake had
said. Selma gave little bounce of
anticipation. She was doing a revolu-
tionary and daring thing; thing that
the Vermont and now, fortunately, in
accessible Peakes would have regarded
with horror. For equipment she had
youth, curiosity, a steel-strong frame;
one brown lady's-cloth, one wine-red
cashmere; four hundred and ninety
seven dollars; and a gay, adventure
some spirit that was never to die,
