'TALKIES' seen
AS FUTURE AID
FOR SCHOOLS
Fund Lack Prevents Use at
Present; Possibilities
Called Great.

Indianapolis schools may be ultra
modern in most ways, but they
probably will not be equipped with
talking motion pictures for some
time, Superintendent Charles F.
Miller said today.
Unless certain organizations" ex-
perience a change of heart and
permit levy raising sufficient funds
for school needs, it may be long
time before the schools here are
equipped with the "talkies," Miller
explained.
An even greater sensation than
was created in the motion picture
industry is expected to be caused
in schools by the new invention.
Miller expressed belief that educa-
tive possibilities of the "talkieS" arc
infinite.
with their use, voices of foremost
experts in the world could be
brought into the classroom while
the motion picture unfolds the
scene" he said.
Miller pointed out that sixteen
indianapolis schools at present are
equipped with ordinary motion pic
ture machines and three more are
being installed.
This work is under direction Of
Roderic H. Rae, director of visual
education. Rae said it is planned
to install movies" in six additional
schools this fall and to have them
in every school with six or more
class rooms by the end of next
year.
At present the schools have IL
brary of forty films and expect to
purchase an additional twenty films

trict must take out half million
dollar bond in favor of Arizona
lands lying in the district which
might be affected if the dam should
cause flood.
Each year since 1916 this problem
has been faced by the district and
each year the question is put to the
district, "What has been done to
eliminate the necessity of this
dams'
In the earlier days of its con-
struction it proved more hectic
battle for the district was not
equipped with its present facilities
to construct dam of this sort. 1t
was necessary to build bridges and
thousands of dollars and number
of slives were lost in this yearly
ojection to the water users of
the valley. At that time it cost in
the neighborhood of $125,000 to
erect the DAM
Today the district can install the
dam in three days time, brush wiers
being used while a huge derrick
working on a cable stretched over
the river drops these in place.
While the present contract held
by the district does not expire un-
til July |, it is necessary to start
the machinery at work carly in the
year to assure attention before that
time.

Los Angeles authorities arrived

Anderson, arrested by city police
here in connection with the investi-
cation into two burglarics, has more
aliases than Babe Ruth has ball
bats and is wanted by police west
Of the Mississippi for as many
reasons, the Los Angeles authorities
declared.
That Anderson will be giveB
plenty of protection on his way
back to Los Angeles is evidenced
by the fact that three members Of
the robbery squad of police head
quarters will be his escort. They are
G.. II. Cloud, G. II. Jones and
Richard Proctor.
Proctor said tha. among the
charges which Anderson will face
in Los Angeles are the following:
robbery, burglary, violation of the
narcotic act, assault with "A deadly
weapon and escape from custody of
an office.
Anderson is due to spend his
remaining days in the pcnitcn-
tiary, Proctor declared. "He il
unquestionably clever at escaping
from the police. Hailed before court
in Los Angeles once he sat calmly
smoking a cigarct while court was
in session. He got up and strolled
over near the door, tossing his
cigaret in cuspidor. a minute
later he had vanished.
Police dashed out and down the
Railways to find him, in fact they
were waiting on the ground floor
when the elevator in which he was
riding landed but Anderson merely
stayed in the elevator and took an
sup journey and lost himself in
the building,
Anderson escaped in somewhat

DISTRICT FILES
ANNUAL PETITION
FOR RIVER DAM

Secretary +. H. McIver of the
Imperial Irrigation District has
been authorized by the board of di-
rcctors of the district to apply to
the United States Department of
War for permission to replace the
temporary dam in the Colorado riv-
cr at point just north of the Mex
lean border line.
This dam is situated in such a
manner that it raises the river to a
point to insure the diversion of wa
ter at lockwood gate but each year
it must be blown out with dynamite
and n new dam constructed. This
is in keeping with the contracts the
district has been forced to enter in
to with Arizona and with the gov
ernmcnt.
Several years ago the blowing up
Of this dam was regarded with great
anxiety by valley residents for it
feared Arizona's hand. That state
has held in allegiance an injunction
granted by the courts there, re-
straining the district from con-
structing the dam. Should it excr-
else this injunction the district
would be forced to at least go
through lengthy court battle be-
fore it could obtain permission to
construct its dam and in the mean
time the waters which now flow
through the valley would undoubt-
edlv pass on down the Colorado, the
water being at too low mark to
feed into the diversion canal at
lockwood gate.
The district, however has won its
renewal of contract with Arizona
from year to year and while at one
time it was a fight in which all val
lev residents participated or watch
cd with interest, today it is carried
on as just part of the days work
with the district.
Incidentally behind this fight lay
the original outlining of plans re-
sulting in the present legislation
now before Congress as the Swing
johnson or Boulder Dam bill. With
the granting of the first permission
- install this dam, the district was
given the privilege providing it be
gan working on a plan to draw its
water supply from point at the
Laguna dam.
Canal Plan Outgrowth
The All-American canal is the
outgrowth of that plan for which
the district is annually paving to
keep open its water right. 1t was
then brought out that should this
canal system be installed, it would
be necessary to construct huge
dam with reservoir feature, to pro
tect the water supply to other
points, mainly the Yuma project.
BOULDER Dam is the result with the
later feature of development of
power at the dam as a means of
revenue for its construction.
The significance in the impor-
tance Of this dam is realized in one
way through the fact that the dis

Development Of 40 horsepower at only 200 revolutions per
minute an example Of fine automobile engineering

THE our-cylinder engine in the new Ford
represents new development in modern
automobile engineering 1t is unique in de-
sign and performance because it develops
acknowledgements at only 1900 revolu-
tons per minute.
This means you can do s. to IS miles an
hour in the new Ford and yet you do not
have high-speed motor.
The low rpm, or revolution speed, also
means greater efficiency and longer life be-
cause the lower the speed of your engine,
the less the wear on its parts.
Some of the factors which have contributed
to this power arc the specially designed car
burctor, the new hot spot manifold, larger
valve diameter, the carbon chrome nickel
alloy valves which resist the oxidizing and
