KIDS ENJOY
OPENING OF
CITY POOL
Many Take Initial Plunge Of
Season Today - Formal
Opening June 80

With the thermometer registering
50 above zero at $3.50 this afternoon
and the mercury still mounting, one
thousand kids, more or less. were
celebrating the informal opening of
the municipal swimming pool this
afternoon. To hear the squeals and
shouts emanating from the direction
of the pool, one would place the
number enjoying its cooling waters
at one thousand, easily. but perhaps
an actual count would reduce the
total somewhat.
Although attendants at the pool
said the water was somewhat cool" +"
the youngsters who were first to try
it this season pronounced it lust
fine" and were enjoying the opening
Of the pool to the utmost. The pool
was filled yesterday and all was in
readiness for the informal opening
today. It had been planned to open
the pool for the first time tonight
but when the mercury began to
mount rapidly today with indications
that it would register the highest
point SO far this year. those in
charge decided to advance the open
ing to this afternoon.
The formal opening of the pool, in
charge Of the local Elks lodge, will
take place Thursday evening, June
30. A concert will be played at the
pool by the Elks band. following a
parade through the downtown sec
tion. and a program of water sports
will be staged.

Outside Investors
Showing Interest in
Sale of State Land

Although considerable land is
knowing" in North Dakota only a
little Of it has been sold to outside
investors, according to officials Of
the Bank of North Dakota who are
conducting a state land sale.
Inquiries from other states con-

left to tell what happened except n
mystery girl who fled in horror be-
fore the roar of the last revolver
shot had died away.
Two policemen shot it out with an
automobile thief. and the three were
killed. The deadly accuracy Of their
aim was shown by the fact that all
but one of the seven shots fired
found their mark. The single wild
shot was fired by the robber.
The policemen dead are Sergeant
Thomas kehoe, 81 years old, and
Officer James Farley, 32. The man

Police returned to the place ard

been shot in the heart and the abdo-
men. The end of his trigger finger
had been shot away, probably by the
bullet that entered his abdomen.

partite naval conference, and Hugh
S. Gibson, chief of the American
delegation, today held a private meet
ing to discuss the proposals of their
respective countries for further naval
limitations.
No advance toward an eventual
agreement was made at the confer

being that both confined themselves
to an explanation and defense Of
their respective proposals.
Mr.. Gibson. emerging from the
meeting, told newspaper men, how
ever, that there was no reason for
being less optimistic about the out

He said that the peoples of the
United States, Great Britain and

BOULDER DAM
QUESTION WILL
COME UP AGAIN
Some Sort of Legislation Will
Be Passed Soon, Rep.
Tils0n Says

Rapid City, S. D.. June 23.-R)-
The next session Of congress will
act on the Boulder Canyon Dam ques-
tion, Representative Tilson Of Con-
necticut, the Republican house lead
er, announced today after,'he had
motOred to Rapid City with Presi-
dent Coolidge from the state game
lodge.
The bill for the construction of
Boulder Canyon dam, which failed
action in the last session, may not
be the one finally agreed upon, he
believes, because now the question
has become interrelated with flood
control which the house leader looks
upon as nationwide problem. But,
he added, some sort Of legislation,
perhaps as yet undetermined in its
many phases, in his opinion will be
passed
Early Meetings Planned
Mr.. Tilson said he had been in
touch with Senator Curtis of Kan
sas, the senate Republican leader,
and that it was his understanding the
flood control and rivers and harbors
committees of both houses would
meet before congress- regular open
ing. Early meetings of the house ap-
preparations and ways and means
committees already had been agreed
upon.
There seems to be no necessity for
general revision of the tariff, the
house leader said, but he believes q
few details might be changed. includ-
ing an upward revision Of the tariff
on textiles.
The Ware and Smith election con-
tests in the senate may be disposed
Of quickly. or take 4 long time. Mr..
Tilson said, adding that 1T all de-
pends on whether the senate will

BYRD IS EXPECTED TO
ATTEMPT RETURN FLIGHT

New York, June 23. sAE)-Belief (
that Commander Richard Byrd will
attempt Il return flight from Europe
was strengthened today when 1t was
unauthoritatively stated that T. Har-
old Kinkade. Wright motor expert,
has been ordered to report to Ire
land.
Kinkade will sail either tonight or
tomorrow. going first to Paris. which
was announced as his destination
when the fact that he had been order
ed abroad was first divulged. Kink.
ade was expected to sail yesterday
but he returned to Roosevelt Field
last night.
Aviators pointed out that the only
possible reason for sending kinkade
to Ireland at this time would be to
allow him to go over the engines pre-
paratory to another long flight, and
the only logical reason for taking the
plane to Ireland for hop off after
it had flown from here to Paris
would seem to be in preparation for
flight back across the dangerous
western passages.

Aims to Please.

JAMES THATCHER, general man
ager of Polls theatrical enter
prises, at one time manager at Poll $
Theater, IL also producer of bur
lesque entertainment, one of his
efforts being an attraction of the
current week.
Mr.. Thatcher says he is doing two
things: Offering genuine novelty and
first-class entertainment that will
appeal to the majority. He does not
claim TO have produced a burlesque
show, or a musical comedy, or a
sma shing drama; but he does claim to
have whipped together an evening s
entertainment that embraces all these
elements and that is different from
anything ever offered in Columbia
Wheel -Theaters.
He makes no pretense of sponsoring
a production hung around spotliehted
stars but merely aims at something
different" unique presentation that
of itself will be good enough, snappy
enough, distinctive enough to be
popular with the big army of patrons
whose taste runs to the best burlesque
entertainment.
II have tried to assemble what
think the average man likes" says
Mr.. Thatcher, namely. variety with
plenty of laughter; comedians, who
can do good hokum comedy; touches
of farce and a little honest-to-goodness
drama done by actors who know how
to do drama. and with it all the most
attractive girls I could find among
hundreds of applicants"

German Slow Motion
Device.

4 DEVICE has recently been in.
vented and patented in Germany
which permits an enormous increase
in the number of exposures made per
second. according to advices received
in the Motion Picture Section of the
Department of Commerce from Trade
Commissioner George r. CAVITY. Paris.
This invention permits taking an
incredible number of pictures per
second, going as high as $4,000 diff
ferent exposures per second How
ever, special apparatus must be used
for such high speeds, but with a nor
NAL machine, costing $3.50 to manu-
facture. up to 5000 pictures every
second can be obtained.
There is no demand for this device
in the production OF play films. 1t is
explained. For sporting events, too,
present devices are fast enough.
However. Il tremendous field Of appli'
cation will he found for scientific and
experimental work. There are certain
very fast operations absolutely be-
yond the human eye and ordinary
film photography where a scientific
investigation of the happenings at
actual demand for high.speed phtog-
raphy.
Among these operations may be
mentioned the investigation of cleo.
trio discharges, electrical switching
apparatus, the determination of the
speed of bullets, the operation of
high speed looms and sewing ma
chimes. Investigations of metal-work-
ing machinery and oscillations and
vibrations on almost every kind of
machine, etc.
