CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Jan. 25.-
Gutzon Borglum, sculptor and creator
Of the National Monument in the
Black Hills, S. D., has designed a
model for the improvement and
Identification of the Corpus Christi
bay front.
This model, one Of the few Of its
type ever constructed, is fourteen
feet in length and four feet in
width.
The plan provides for the creation
Of approximately 1,361,000 square
feet Of reclaimed land to be built up
in Corpus Christi bay. A retaining
wall. twelve feet high, will give
ample protection to the city.
A boulevard two hundred feet wide
and a sidewalk along the seawall
are included in the plans as shown
in Borglum's model. A great white
way will be created by placing lights
at regular intervals. Steps will lead
down the seawall to the water.
Another improvement shown on
the model is an airport which will
be made by filling in a portion Of
the bay. The filled IN section viii
be surrounded by a seawall. Hangers
for housing planes will be construct
ed, and powerful lights will be placed
around the field. Seaplanes may land
in a protected basin near the field
proper
A thirty-two foot statue OF Christ
designed by Borglum and erected in
Corpus Christi Bay a short distance
beyond the breakwater will be one
of the outstanding features of the
entire project. Borglum stated that
the feet of the colossal figure would
be only a few inches above the
changing tides so that the Christ
would seem 70 be walking upon the
water. The hand Of the figure will
be upraised-quieting storms.
Anchored so that it will resist the
action of the sea. the statue will be
of bronze and will be plainly visable
from any portion of the city. II will
be illuminated at night. The effect
will be most striking at sunrise or
when high waves are breaking about
the statue.
Borelum declared that It had long
been one of his ambitions to do a
figure of the Christ and that nothing
could possibly be more symbolical
than 70 place the great statue in the
city Of Corpus Christi. the name Of
which means "Body of Christ"
When the bay front is transformed
into an exact replica of the model
prepared by Borglum, the dreams. Of
Mrs. Lorine Jones Spoonts. who
started the movement for the beau
LITIGATION Of the bay front, will be
realized. She is president of the
Chamber of Commerce.

VISIT SUNDAY
Notables Will Make
Valley Side Trip
From Houston

Dozens Of leading real estate oper-
ators from all sections Of the United
States are scheduled to pay the Val
ley a visit next Sunday, the visit
being in the form of a side-trip
from the mid-winter convention of
the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards which will be held in
Houston this week.
Tentative plans for the entertain
ment of the group during the visit
to this section call for q barbecue az
the Llano Grande properties near
Weslaco Sunday noon, n drive
through the Valley and a dinner in
Matamoros in the evening.
Immediately upon conclusion Of
the meal across the river the party
will board a train awaiting them in
the yards Of the Mexican National
railway and begin a tour into the
interior of Mexico.
The Valley as a winter resort will
get an excellent opportunity TO re-
ceive some favorable comparative
publicity through the visit Of the
realtors. The winter convention last
year was held in Florida, while last
summers meeting was held in At
lantic City.
c. c. Heat, Of Louisville, KY. Is
president Of the association. and next
years convention will be held in his
home city. He was elected az a
meeting in Tulsa, Okla. two years
ago, and reelected at the Atlantic
City meet last summer.
On his trip he will bring a good
sized delegation Of Louisville real
estate men, as well as followers from
Cincinnati and indianapolis.
Those three cities. each a trade
and population center for all sur
rounding territory. barely know of
the existence of the Valley. The trip
here will afford the Valley an ex-
cellent opportunity to get some
boosting where boosting will be most
effective, local real estate men say.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The fold
ing and wrapping Of light into one
very small package makes feasible
the new Pierce Sextant camera, the
instrument which takes q photograph
and records accurately the location
on the earth's surface of the place
where il is snapped.
The light-folding permits concen-
tration Of the intricate process into
q sufficiently small box to carry IN
one hand. II locates position with
onN motion, whereas navigators Tor
centuries have required several IN
struments, observations and much
time to accomplish the same thing.
1t will enable a flyer to blaze an ac-
curately and permanently recorded
trail in the air, ever when no ground
markings are in sight. One will be
use by Comm. Richard Byrd on his
Antarctic expedition
The camera takes pictures Of the
sun. No other exterior objects are
photographed, but inside the camera
are housed instruments the records
OF which complete the picture. This
picture is a small snapshot less than
the size OF the hand.
The idea Of such a camera was
worked out by Comm. NJ. r. Pierce,
u. S. navy. He collaborated with the
Eastman E,odak company In the per-
lection Of the instrument.
