MAY FESTIVAL AT
HARDING SCHOOL
PROVES POPULAR

With butterflies and fairies dane
ing before the Queen of the May,
the Harding school May festival,
presented for the fourth time last
night, drew crowd which packed
the school, auditorium to capacity
and overflowea into the halls.
3 Few entertainments given in this
city would merit two newspaper re-
ports, but the Harding school Nav
festival is not to be classed with
ordinary productions.
From the professional marking
the entrance of the Queen of the
May and her court. to the recess
sional and the last bow by the last
diminutive pink clad flowe rgirl, the
festival Is Il pagent Of perfection
and beauty.
Janice, Allison as the gracious and
lovely queen, the lords end ladies of
her court, the chorus which gave two
songs, the fairy dance, lead by
dainty Geraldine Johnson as uueen
of the fairies. the adorable little
butterfly dancers and the Mavpole
dancers who gave a perfect inter
pretation Of the old rite, were all
worthy Of strong commendat ion.
Unusually excellent training was
evidenced in the smoothness of the
performance, which would have been
difficult for performers of more bal
a, "ed years and wider experience.
Beautiful costumes, made almost
entirely bv Harding school mothers,
excellent music and lovely decora-
tions added to the unqualified sue
cess of the festival

Nv United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May |. - The
Swing-J Johnson Boulder dam bill
met further delay today in the house
irrigation and reclamation commit,
tee.
The committee expected to close
hearings and consider the bill in ex-
ccutive session but Representative
Hayden. Democrat, Arizona, asked
for another meeting Wednesday.
Hayden wants officials of the state
department to explain the status of
the negotiations with Mexico over
the use Of waters of the Colorado.
Although supporters of the bill
are hopeful that the committee will
act favorably on it before adjourn
ment, there is some doubt now if
the score or more of proposed amend
mcnts can be voted on and a revised
draft of the measure submitted TO
the house before the session closes.
Swine Fears Mexico ~
Despite objection by Representa-.
tive Swing. Republican. California,
co-author of the bill. Havden's re-
fuest for the meeting Wednesday
was granted. SWING warned that
Mexico might be offended and the

the Colorado river by the two gov
ernments. Two drastic alterations
of the power provision of the bill
were proposed by. Representative
Leathorwood, Republican. Utah. He
suggested that the secretary of the
interior be given authority to fix
rates on power developed at the
dam.
Leatherwood told the committee
that the bill in its present form was
in conflict with the general policies
Of the govcrnment. He presented an
to eliminate the provi-
sion which wOuld require construc-
ton of mower plant by the govern
rhcnt at the dam.
Lcatherwood would have the fed
cr2l power commission Issue licenses
and permits for the generation of
power at the dam. The commission
would be empowered to license cities
and private companies to build their
own power plants at the dam.
The only revenue the government
would receive under Leatherwood s
would come from the IL
cense fees.
Favors Power Companies
Another amendment by Leather
wood would make it possible for
power companies to build plants and
use the all-American canal for power
Leatherwood said the provisions
Of the bill for Joint use of transmits

ed invasion of the rights of states

Twenty Reported Dead
 In Hungarian Explosion

Budapest, Hungary, Aug. 13 Pt- It is reported that 20 persons were killed in the explosion yesterday on Shepel island, a short distance from Budapest, in the Mancred- Weiss ammunition factory. It has been impossible. however, to con- firm the report owing to the large area covered by the factory and the intense heat from the burning buildings.
 The firemen early today had suc- ceeded in localizing the fire.
 The Manched-W Weiss Works is the only munitions factory permitted in Hungary under the Trianon treaty. It is under control of the interallied military commission. During the World war the concern supplied so per cent of the explo- sives used by the Austro-Hun- garian armies.
 It is estimated that about 30 tons of powder exploded.

The latter didn't suffer because it is an established feature at the station and acquits itself well. Drifting and Dreaming and Let The End of The World Come Tomorrow" were among the numbers by the quartet, while the For-An-To Melody Makers presented snappy program of the latest dance tunes, among which were Don't Forget" Wasn't It Nicer" Black Bottom" and My Dream of The Big Parade"

We whirI- ed around the dials, for the remain der of the evening, attempting to get in on something worth while. There might have been lots of worth while material, but 1t wasn't for us. Static came through in sheets and abso- lutely blanketed everything. Once we heard Ernie Golden's voice from WMCA, New York, and we were able to bring in WIG, Atlantic City, pretty we'll, but we were out for big stuff and we weren't especially par ticular about listening to organ re- citals or dance music.
 That's all we have for you, but if you want to read a few station an- nouncements, all right,
 It was announced today that the wavelength of WAR, Providence, has been changed to 4S5 meters. This station operated formerly on S06 meters, and the change was scheduled to go into effect yester- day.
 An altogether unique and remark able broadcasting stunt was accom- plished recently by WTIC when it 1 shifted from one orchestra to an- other right in the middle of a dance number-"Lonesome and Sorry" to be exact. The listening radio fans were not told in advance that this | was to happen, and as far as is known not one of them detected the change.
 The shift was accomplished as fol- lows: Emil Heimberger, leader of the Hotel Bond orchestra, was equipped with a pair of head-phones him to hear the Colt Park orchestra and play beat for beat with it. At the moment of complete Prof. Merriman, NTIC musical director, gave a sig
