EASTMAN KODAK CO.
FEATURES CANYON
Party Here Making Motion
Picture on Boat Trip Down
Colorado River From
Boulder to Black Canyon

A. e. Kellogg of Ell Centric, Cal,
accompanied by Congressman and
Mrs. Joe Manlove of Joplin, Mo,
Mr.. ROmley of Ell Centro and Mr.
Haesler and Mr.. Beggs of the
Eastman Kodak Company of Roch-
ester, N. Y, arrived in Las Vegas
Wednesday.
The photographers are making
an educational film ON the subject
of irrigation and have just spent
three weeks in the Imperial Val
ley making films to illustrate
their theme. The Colorado River
views are designed to show the
perfect opportunity for controlling
the river and making it subservi-
ent to the needs of man. The
picture will be widely shown and
will have a very notable influence
in creating sentiment in the east
favorable to the Boulder Dam
project.
Congressman and Mrs. Manlove,
through the enterprise of Mr.. Kel-
logg, were able to get first hand
information on both Boulder Can
yon and Black Canyon dam sites
and to compare the two. He ex-
presses an unqualified approval
of the Black Canyon site after his
trip. Mr.. Kellogg suggests that
all visitors should be shown both
sites that they may judge for
themselves. Interviewed by the
Age he said:
81 am pleased to see the sub
stantial progress Las Vegas is
making in building and improve
ments. 1t argues well for the
faith the people have in the early
construction of the great Boulder
dam project
Upon being asked by Mr.. Kel-
logg how he enjoyed his trip to
the dam sites, Congressman Man
love said:
Really Mr.. Kellogg, we people
who live in the flats of Missouri
and have been accustomed to see
ing them only in pictures, scarce
ly are able to conceive the grand
eurs of such a trip as you have
shown us today. | simply cannot
find words to express my amaze
ment"
Congressman Manlove, it may
be noted, in appearance and per-
sonality bears a very close re-
semblance to Congressman Phil
Swing.
The party left for southern Cali
fOrnia this morning.

FIR. Reardon said that we should
keep aloof from foreign entangle-
ments and go back to the prin-
iiples of Washington. Interna-
tional brotherhood will never be
realized. Differences in race,
language, interests and religions
can never be reconciled. Religion
the teachings of Christ-must
be our refuge if we would find
peace and happiness. The bitter
ness of war is not due to Christ
ianity, he said, but because of
lack of Christ. All the ameliora-
tion in the bitterness and brutali-
ties of war that has come, he said,
is due to the influence of Christ
ianity. There will be no peace
until the people of all nations
recognize Christ.

Blames Strange Diphtheria
for Quebec Babies Deaths

Montreal, Oct. P)--An ''unrec
ognized' form Of diphtheria, mis-
takcnly diagnosed as a digestive dis
order, was blamed by DR.. Paul Long
pre- yesterday in a speech before the
Montreal Medical society for the
alarming infant mortality rate in the
Province of Quebec.
"Physicians have been hypnotized
by the digestive tract" DR.. Long
pre-. a specialist on infants diseases,
said. after two years of careful re-
search, with three doctors, we have
found that three out of four deaths
that occurred among foundlings at a
LEGAL hispital were caused by diph-
iberia germs which do not produce
the ordinary symptoms of diph-
thcrla.'
DR.. Longprc added that this "un-
recognized form OF diphtheria' had
perhaps been handed down from
one badly to another through loo
cases or more" by Contagion.

business il has yielded in its CEN
fury OF use.
Many are the tales of hardships
endured by the chimney boys of
London prior to 1927. While in the
United States men frequently did
the work il was the custom in Eng
land to recruit the chimney sweeps
from boys who were in the poorest
circumstances. Only so years ago,
according to the records, a CHIMNEY
climbing boy was suifocated Whlle
at work and the man who employ
ed him was sentenced to SIX months
hard labor as result
Bentlcys invention was quite 4
simple one, consisting of circular
| brush attached TO the end OF long
rod. which. made in sections could
be heightened or shortened as de-
/ sired The brush was pushed up the
chimney and moved up and down,
As one section after another OF inc
! rod was detached, the whole of the
chimney was swept.
There was little regard for the
welfare of the chimney boys IN
those days and Bcntley's Invention
made little or no impression upon
/ public opinion,
It was not indeed, until the hor'
rcrs of the life of the chimney boy
and the obvious advantages OF the
: new mechanical contrivancc, were
continuously dinned into the ears o.
the public through the efforts of ar
organization called the Society Of
Supersoding the Necessity Of Climb
