MORE PIE

Here is the latest food conspiracy against the
American people. The National Pie Bakers Associa
ton has determined upon an advertising campaign to
make the American people eat pie three tines day.
Not bad conspiracy, either, if you ask the aver
age boy. There might easily be father and
movement of national scope, in harmony with this
plan Mother might object. Yet she needn't, because
the professional pie bakers perfectly willing to
bake all the pies.
Fruit growers associations heartily in favor Of
the campaign.
Only doctors here and there may kick Diet spe-
ciaists will insist that pie is unwnolesome, especially
when eaten III quantity, and that three times day is
too often to indulge. The American today they will
say, living sedontary life, digest all that pie
his active forelathers could.
This however, isn't necessarily argument against
the pie. There is another way Of going about the
problem Why not start a campaign, in which the doc
tors could cooperate to bring the whole nation up
to a state OF rugged health in which it could both rel
ish and digest pie three times day?

Every right-rninded public-sprited citizen in the

been peonmg Congress to give US speedy action upon
the great Boulder Dam project.
Virtually everyone IN the United States wants II,
even a majority of congress want it
Only that phanuerng committee seems against
it. They'll have plenty to answer for to their conSutu-
ents if they don't report ii out this session IN time Tor

What causes their reluctance to send it before con-
gress?
There is a powerful Los Angeles syndicate specu-
lating Mexican lands who object to the allAmerlcan
canal part of the PROJECT. 1hey have the money to
MAINTAIN powerful lobples in Washington, while this
has had the least representation OF any, ath0ugn

The activity of this syndicate is unceasing, just as
greatly opposed to the commonweal Of this great South
western empire today it was IN the beginning The
following recent statement by William Mulholand,
head Of Los Angeles forces working for the Boud
Dam indicates the present efforts OF the Mexican lana
owners to defeat the whole project.
Il thought the low dam idea dead; 1t was the

ever that Los Angeles is not in the least interested in
low dam.
1T would not produce domestic water for this
city. 1t simply does not figure.
"A low dam would fill with mud within 25 30
years and that would be the end of it.
1T will be necessary to pump the water part OF the
way from the river to Los Angeles That will require
power A low dam rapidly filling with silt would not
be power dam The silt would cut the machinery to
pieces.
The river will have be regulated to the fullest
extent before Los Angeles get d water supply.
There must dam that will hold enough water to
bridge over possible succession of dry years
"A low dam could not take care OF irrigation re-
qurements through succession OF dry years, let alone
furnish domestic water supply.
at must be remembered that will take
water out of the river only after present users de-
mands have been met. The law would stop from
making nrOads on their supply.
mo engineer would recommend low dam as a
safe investment.
"a low dam is equally untenable from political
