WEST AND WHITING
WAIT SENATE VOTE
Two Cabinet Members Are
on List of Coolidge Recess
Appointments.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The names of two Cabinet members
will be among those for which Presi-
dent Coolidge will seek Senate ap-
proval this week
Roy O. West of Illinois, whose re-
cess appointment as Secretary of the
Interior during the Summer drew some
opposition, is one of them. The other
is Secretary Whiting of the Commerce
Department, who took Office when
Herbert Hoover retired after his nomi-
nation for President.
Senate Policy Changed.
In years past, a President has usu-
ally been free in the choice OF his
Cabinet, with little interference by the
Senate In later years, however, pros
pective Cabinet officers have been put
under fire at the Capitol, and one OF
them. Charles Beecter Warren of Mich
igan, failed of confirmation as Attorney
General in the Coolidge Cabinet.
There have been rumblings that Mr.
West would meet some hostility, but SO
far there has been no visible lineup In
such a fight against him. Secretary
Writings name has evoked no OUT
spoken Senate opposition.
Included in the recess appointments
for which confirmation will be necessary
are the neS controller of the currency,
John w. Pole of Ohio; the Treasurer OF
the United States, H. T. Tate of Ten
nessee; a new member of the interstate
commerce committee, P. j. Farrell OF
Vermont; a tariff commissioner, Sher-
man j. Lowell of New York, and Abram
F.. Myers of Iowa, chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission who engaged
in row with Senate committee at the
last session.
Diplomatic Selections.
Among diplomatic representatives
whose appointment must be confirmed
is Ambassador William S. Culbertson,
who represents the United States in
Chile.
There are several vacant Offices for
which appointees will be named, prob
ably early in the session. Most of these
are in the judicial branch of the Gov
ernment There are two judges 70 be
appointed to vacancies on the Court Of
Customs Appeals, and one circuit Judge
for the general federal judiciary There
are several vacancies in the Office of
District Federal Judge.

REPORT ONBOULDER
DAM IS RECEIVED
win Be Sent to Congress
When Interior Secretary
Returns From Chicago.

The important report of five experts
on The proposed construction of a dam
in the main stream of the Colorado
River at Black Canyon or Boulder Can
yon in Arizona has arrived in Wash
ington, and is awaiting the return to-
morrow of Secretary West of the De-
parrment of the Interior from trip to
Chicago. before transm!ttal to Con-
gress. Interior Department officials
have stoutly resisted attempts by Con-
greSsional leaders and others to secure
copies of the report prior to its formal
submission to Congress. President
Coolidge was furnished with summary
of the experts recommendations, re-
Gently, SO that he could incorporate
mention of the Boulder Dam situation
in his message to Congress.
The report, which will likely be made
available for publication tomorrow, rep
resents another step forward in the long
controversy over the development OF a
storage reservoir on the Colorado River,
either in Boulder Canyon or Black Can
yon. Legislation designed to accom-
plish development of the lower Colorado
River has preferred status in the Sen
ate, having passed the House on May
IS o. this year.
The five experts who wrote the report
three of them engineers and two
geologists-were selected last July by
DR.. Hubert Work, then Secretary of
the Interior. and have spent most OF
the intervening time in flrst-hand study
of the problems involved. Recently
they held sessions at Denver, where q

The five experts are: Maj. Gen. VIII

son, Wis; Robert Ridgeway, engineer
of New York; Charles p Berkey, geo.
logist, of New York, and w. j. Mead
geologist, of Madison, Wis. These men
were selected because of eminence III
their profession and due to the fact
that they were not connected with the
Boulder Dam situation, either through
personal interest, residence, or previous
intimate knowledge of the project.
So anxious was Secretary West tc
insure that five experts should present

influences that on his recent trip to

Puzzling problems surrounding the

duction of the menace from floods; a
supplemental supply of water available
for irrigation; reclamation of land and
the development of electrical energy.
The lower basin of the Colorado River
comprises areas chiefly in the states
of Arizona, California and Nevada.
This Colorado River traverses dis
tance of more than 1,750 miles. IN
terror Department experts have placed
the drainage basin of the river at
242,O0O 5quare miles in the United
States and 1000 square miles in Mexico:
Yet another problem revolving around
the Boulder Dam discussion is the pro-
posed all-American canal to replace the
present Imperial Canal, which carries
water from the Colorado River for the
irrigation of lands IN the Imperial VAL
lev of California. The Imperial Canal
crosses into Mexico and continues in
that country for about so miles before
again returning to the United States
with its supply of water for Imperial
Valley lands.

litical equation since Congress last dis

vigorous opponent of the construction

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. Straus)

During the school year just opened
far greater attention to the teachings
Of thrift will be given than at any
previous time. Probably no less than
100000 students will then be gain
ing educational help in thrift.
In some schools no effort has been
made in thrift education to go further
than the establishment of school saw
ings banks. In others, the bank work
is supplemented by certain lessons in
thrift impaired by the teachers. In
still other schools, real instructions in
thrift along correct scientific lines
have been adopted. The latter method
is the one to which all schools should
work.
Near the close of the last school
year, the outline of a thrift study
course for grades one to eight, in
elusive, was completed and issued by
the American Society for Thrift after
thirteen years of research and study
by various educators. This outline
does not provide separate course in
thrift, but by concrete examples, shows
how thrift can be applied to many of
the common branches.
During spring and summer, many
schools throughout the country Sc
cured copies of this outline of thrift
study with view of Introducing the
work in the curriculum this year.
We believe very few people today
deprecate the value of thrift. Surely
one can over-estimate its worth when
properly expounded in the classroom.
The work of the school system of
this nation has been greatly enriched
by the Introduction Of thrift teachings
In this practical form. The nation
that teaches thrift to its young need
nave no fears about its future place
among the nations of men.

CHEVROLET BUILT ITS
MILLIONTH CAR SINCE JAN. I

Further entrenching itself in its
position as the worlds foremost auto
mobile producer, the Chevrolet Motor
Company last week reached a new
milestone in it's manufacturing his
tory. With production and sales con-
tinuing at a record September clip,
the millionth car of 1928 came Off the
assembly line at Flint last Tuesday af-
ternoon.
Due to the high September produc-
tion schedule necessary to meet an
unusually heavy fall demand, no for
NAL ceremonies marked the occasion,
although w. S. Knudsen, president of
the Chevrolet Motor Company, r. H.
Grant, vice president in charge of
sales, C. F. Barth, vice-president in
charge of manufacturing and other
Chevrolet officials were present.
The record making car was coach,
one of the most popular models in the
line. 1t was a standard model in ev-
cry respect. Like hundreds of thou
sands of Chevrolet coaches it was
finished in avenue green Duco, with
Tartan tan wheels, black beading and
stripping in gold.
After a brief informal ceremony,
the millionth car passed through the
usual channels of distribution and was
shipped few hours after it came off
the line to a dealer in the middle
west.
| An idea can be grasped of the i'm
mensity of the task of building 1,OOO,-
900 cars in less than eight months
when it is borne in mind that to
achieve this record it was necessary
that a Chevrolet be built approximate
ly every 10 seconds of every working
day. Computing on the basis that
there are Is working days month
it means that one million cars were
built in little more than 200 work
| ing days.
Mr.. Knudsen pointed out that the
building of 100000 cars since Jan. 1
would not have been possible without
strict adherence to precision methods.
chevrolet knows that inaccuracies
in manufacture and assemblage slow
down the line with a consequent low
ering of output and increase of cost
Mr.. Knudsen said. "In .Chevrolet's
scheme of volume production the
highest standards of quality and accu-
racy must be maintained in order that
costly delays in production caused by
breakage and poor fitting parts may
be avoided
The sensational production of one
million cars in less than eight months
reflects the remarkable public &C.
ceptance accorded the Bigger and
Better" model since it's introduction
January first. Never in the history
of the automobile business has this
record been approached by any other
manufacturer of gear shift cars.

Arrowhead Visitors
Exceed 1927 Number

Officials in charge of Duluth tour
list bureaus estimate that $4,000 more
tourists will this year pass through
the Arrowhead country than last year,
when it is reported that 100000
were registered on the books. This
Increased traffic, it is estimated by
some, was a direct result of the 10
eating of the summer White House
on the Brule, adjacent to this region.
Some, however, concede the result to
the extensive past advertising of this
region, both in circular form and
tourist travel. Although nearly a
month still remains of the 1928 tour
list season, a number largely in excess
of the previous season has Travelled
