ENGINEERS TEST
 MODEL ARCH DAM
Making Research Over Control
 of Water

Boulder. Colo. July IT CP, - A business-like moder of a big experi- mental dam in Stevenson Creek can- yon. 60 miles from Fresno Cal. stands in the engineering laboratory of the University of Colorado, un- dergoing a series of tests designed to extend mans knowledge of the behavior of such structures under working conditions.
 The little dam is one-twelfth the size of its counterpart and is ir exact proportion to it. Both were built for the Engineering Founds- tion's research program which is covering the many problems H- Nolved in the design, construction and performance of dams as the, are related to flood control. irriea- tion. power development and Wa. ter supply.
 The investigation at Boulder, says Alfred D. Finn. director of the foundation. tentatively includes studies with models of other arch dams. among them, perhaps, one of the designs suggested for the much discussed Boulder Canyon dam in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
 Experimental measurements of the model were started recently af- more than two years of pre- hminary preparation and study of methods. The miniature is two inches thick from top to height. Below the middle the thickness in- creased gradually to seven and one half inches at the bottom. The maximum height is five feet, while the- top measures 40 inches in length.
 To cause the pressure tests against the upstream side. the little reservoir is filled with mercury to the depth desired. This fluid is used because it is much heavier than water and therefore magnifies the bending and strains of the mod el so that they can be measured accurately
 Most of the delicate measuring instruments give readings to thou sandths or tens of thoussndths of an inch, and the optical strain gauges, Invented by pr, L. B. Tuckerman Of the federal Bureau of Standards. measure to millionths of an inch. The concrete of which the wall is made closely resembles stone, and like stone doss not bend. stretch or squeeze appreeiably to human senses even under big loads. Hence special instruments are required for the measurements
 These tests at Boulder" ex- plains Mir. Film, ''are intended to set more experimental knowledge about the dependahility of results obtained from testing models in-

FEW KNOWN FACTS INLIFE 0F JESUS
Reverend Holmes Pays High Tribute to Divinity, However

New York. July IT (uP-Facts of the life of Jesus are immaterial and the world has only a slight knowledge of His career. the Rev John Haynes Holmes said at the Community church here.
 "As a matter of fact what we ac- tually know about Jesus. 50 far as the facts of life are concerned. is very little. We do not know when He was born. We can only surmise that He was born in Nazareth. His father and mother are mere names. Nothing at all of His personal career is known until His 18th year. when He appeared among the followers of John the Baptist and later Himself became a preacher to the multi tudes," the Rev. Holmes said.
 The pastor said this lack of knowledge worried some people but that there was no reason for worry lnasmuch as Jesus was spiritual genius," the greatest moralist who ever lived" that He was a supreme master of the art of teaching" and was personality unparalleled for for the power and beauty of His in- fluence over men,"
 The Rev. Holmes said one did not have to believe in the virgin birth, the resurrection, the ascension into Heaven or any of the other seven creeds to be a true follower of the Christian religion.

 If the results of these experi- ments agree with those obtained on the Stevenson Creek dam itself or on models previously studied, then tests can be extended to miniatures of other types of dams with confi- dence that the measurements will give information similar to the data obtainable were it possible to study the big dams themselves.

FAT, ASSET TO 30,
 THEN LIABILITY
Excess Weight Dangerous as
 Years Advance

Washington, July r LP-Up tc the age Of 50 overweight is likely to add years to life. but after that il has the opposite tendency. That is one of the conclusions reached by Dr. Francis G. Bene- dict, director of the Nutrition Lob oratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. after many years devoted to the study Of metabolism. the fundamental vital process in volving the combustion of food ma terials when united with oxygen in the cells.
 During youth and the period of rapid growth he says. Statistics show clearly that overweight is a distinct asset towards longevity. Beyond 30 years it becomes d lia- bllity of no mean significance. But the keen appetite for food so for tunately provided for us by nature during the period of youth and activity has established such a firm habit upon us that the tendency is to keep up the food intake. not withstanding the fact that with ad- Nancing age the physical activities are lessened and there is therefore an ever-decreasing heat output. The inevitable result is increase in weight, which begins with plump ness. passes through embonpoint and finally ends up in obesity. which should always be called fat ness.
 "The chief cause of obesity is overeating. Contributary factors may be errors of diet, errors in ex- ercise and certain pathological con- ditions, But when you eat a little more than you burn up it must be deposited in the body.
 The insidious way in which small excess may contribute to build up fat is illustrated by the fact that

rHERE has been quite a demand

i grown up the past year or two
for the freeing of the Kennewick-
Pasco bridge of the toll. The legis-
lature, realizing the effect the toll
charge has upon the tourist traffic
into the state, has declared for a
policy of "free and open road"
and has declared it's intention of
freeing the state of such obstruc-
lions Just as speedily as possible.
The local bridge is the next one
on the program to be opened. The
towns of the Yakima and Walla
Walla valleys have started petit
tions asking that this matter be
one of the first to receive attention
from the highway board. Word
has been received from that de-
partment that, if the bridge COM
pany does not carry too much wa
ter in the bridge as well as under
it. that by year from this date
it is likely that it can be made
free. We hope that in the interests
of the state as whole that this
matter can be settled out of court.
We want and need the free bridge.

About a Former Seattleite

10 Inc EultOf.
After a long delay | am continu-
ing my letters about former Seat
tleites. Since my last letter | have
learned something of one of Seattle's
most popular matrons. The person
to whom refer Is Mrs. S. T. Nc
Giants the daughter of Rev. d. A.
Graham former pastor of the First
A. M. L. Church in Seattle. DIR.
Graham bee m e.. internationally
known while serving as president Of
Monrovia College in Liberia, West
Africa. During the recent meeting
Of the General Conference of the
A. NJ. Z. Church he was candidate
for bishop and was defeated only by
few votes. Mrs. McCants is now Mrs.
Shirley McCanns and has made won
derful progress since leaving Seat
tie. She now holds the position of
Music Librarian at Howard Univer-
sity in Washington, d. c. This is a
very creditable position. Mrs. Nc
Cams is especially interested in the
development of Negro music. Her
appointment as librarian has placed
her in a most favorable position for
research and development of this
phase Of American life-Negro mu-
sic. Last Summer she was on a lecture
tour of eastern and middlewestern
cities and won distinction as a lee
turer. During her visit to Chicago
heard her speak on Mothers Day
before one of the largest crowds ever
assembled in the Pilgrim Baptist
Church. 1t was a brilliant address
on the subject, "The Soul of the Ne
gro Mother" was glad to let every
body know that / was from Seattle
as well as Mrs. McCanns. 1t does
seem our Seattle folks win greater
distinction away from home. Posi-
bly,, of course, at home our ability is
underestimate because we are so
well acquainted with each other. !
