BIG WORK AIMED
FOR ENGINEERS
President to Apply Business
Methods, With Brown Sue
ceeding JadWin.
BY J. Russell YOUNG.

Presiden. Hoover's appointment of
Brig. Gen. Lyle Brown to succeed Lieut..
Gen. Jadwin as chief of the Corps OF
--2SineerS, U. S. A., and his an
noInced intention soon to appoint three
regional assistants, are looked upon as
the laying of the foundation of a def
mite program of his own for the devel-
opment of the waterways of the Nation.
Conscious of the great responsibilities
which have been heaped upon the
Engineer Corps because of the problems
of the rapidly growing public works
program of the Nation, and anticipating
an even more stupendouS program In
the very near future, President Hoover
has given very careful thought to all
this and as a result has worked out a
plan, not yet complete in all its details,
which he Is understood to believe will
improve the old order.
Tho President has studied this sub
Ject strictly from the viewpoint OF a
highly trained engineer and executive.
He Is represented as not exactly frown-
ing upon the way the Army engineers
have been functioning in the past, but
as feeling confident that matters could
be improved. His aim Is to run the
Engineer Corps in the Future more
along the lines of private engineering
business. He is going to run this par
ticular branch of the Government just
as he would If he were the president
or directing head of some big engineer
ing or construction company-juSt as
he did when he was directing engineer
ing work in various quarters OF the

for food control. Moreover. Mr.. Hoover
has made q serious study OF the water
WAYS DEVELOPMENT Of the country and Is
therefore well acquainted with this sub
iect. He has formed well defined ideas
regarding the carrying out Of the pro-
posed waterways development program.
Besides his opinions as an engineer,
the President is mindful OF the pledges
of his party regarding development OF
rivers and harbors and flood control,
and he is represented as being anxious
to live up to the promises made in this
direction during his campaign laEt year.
So conscious is the President OF the
vastness and Importance OF the projects
Immediately facing the Engineer Corps
that he considers the program in each
of the three regions he has decided to
establish as being even greater III mag
nitude than the digging of the Panama
Canal He knows, too, that there will
be projects in the future that will be
even still greater. It Is estimated rough
ly that projects under way and others
proposed for the future already call for
an expenditure of public funds Of two
or three billions of dollars.
The Nicaraguan Canal, which is pro-
posed and for which survey already
Is under way, will probably cost one
billion. Other great projects authorized
include the reservoir for the Panama
Canal SO as to increase that canals
capacity; the building OF Boulder Dam,
besides the Mississippi flood control and
millions Of dollars worth of river and
harbor Improvements. The proposed

iSt.TLawrence waterways may not mate
rialize for some years, but 1t will be a
gigantic undertaking and vii cost nun
dreds of millions.
Cause for Serious Thought.
With all this in mind and having
formed definite ideas in the matter OF
actually carrying out the work, it is
little wonder that President Hoover
gives such serious thought to the Selec-
ton Of the man to be the directing head
of the Engineer Corps, which President
Hoover hopes to make the largest and
most efficient engineering and construc-
tion company in the history Of the
world.
He is said to have not known Gen.
Brown personally, or even to have
heard much about him before he started
to study the qualifications of the long
list of availables to appoint as success
sor to Gen. Jadwin. It Is understood
that he picked Gen. Brown, who was

career.
| More Direct Concentration.
First of all, he is satisfied that there
| should be more direct concentration
upon the individual projects. Next. he
| is convinced that there should be
decentralization of administrative power.
According to his opinion, there has bssn
too much supervision OF the public
works projects throughout the country
back In Washington instead OF on the
projects themselves.
It was because of this desire for more
definite responsibility, more continuity
and more localized administration that
he has already decided to declare three
regions of public works projects and
to place an engineer officer III complete
charge of each. 1t is thought that the
President has in mind increasing the
number of these regions by at least two
or three.
His plan now is to have an engineer
in direct charge of the so-called Lower
Mississippi River section, which will
include the flood control work: another
one in charge of the So-called tributaries
to the Mississippi and third in charge
of the Great Lakes and Great Lawrence
section. It is understood that he is
now considering establishing an ndi-
VAOudL CIle1LACCAAAB 1CBAOIl III VAC WCoo
Coast and one to cover the Atlantic
seaboard. The latter may be divided
into two regions.
In line with his policy, Mr.. Hoover
wants the Army Engineer Corps to
prove as efficient and as effective as is
possible, and In making this possible
he wants to relieve the chief Of the
Engineer Corps of as much detail and
routine work as possible. He wants that
responsible officer to have more time
to give to the study of plans and poll
cies back in Washington and to leave
the actual directing of the individual
projects to the regional chiefs.
Expansion Of Program.
The reorganization of the Engineer
Corps, the President believes. is neces-
sary with the fast expansion of the pub
lie works program. Besides being a
highly trained engineer himself and
therefore familiar with just what the
Engineer Corps Is facing, Mr.. Hoover
personally went through the Mississippi
flood section two years ago, directing
relief work and advising regarding plans

greatly surprised as any one else when
he read of his selection in the news

Text Books and Facts

One wonders what the younger generation thinks
OF us older foks-we who write school books and
advertisements and radio programs and such.
For example, youth today, whose chief job is to
learn from books and from life, is informed from
one source that cigarets preferable to sweets in
terms of human health and from another source that
they are as bad as dope"
They hear the first version over the radio read
it in the advertisements.
And they find the second in school books as
follows:
THE most common narcotics are tobacco, opium,
cocaine, and alcohol"
And
'The smoking of cigarets by the young universally
is regarded exceedingly harmful, net only on
count the nicotine poisoning but also because the
tobacco of which the cigarets made, sometimes
is stepped in a solution of opium, thus causing the
additional danger of acquiring desire for the use
of this dangerous narcotic"
The two quotations are from pages 1876 and 1877
in the text book Living Things" elementary
biology, by Arthur c. Clement, supervisor of bioogc
science in secondary schools University of the State
of New York Albany N. Y. Copyright. 1924 and 1925.
by Iroquois Publishing Company, Inc.
Three-fourths of a page in this textbook is given
to the dangers of opium and cocaine and two and
one-duarter pages to the dangers of tobacco.
Now what children entitled to expect from
their elders is facts And facts facts. Cigarets
can't be two different things. They can't be great
boon to humanity and poison at and the same
time They can't be better than candy and as bad as
opium.
Imagine the mental confusion of the high school
boy who. having returned from classroom in which
the opium theory of cigaret making has been ex-
pounded under auspices of the state Of New York,
turning on the radio and being told to 'reach for
TrtcIr of
What does this lad think. of his father or his
mother, his big sister, they Whit their cigarets?
If he believes his school book he puts them down
dope heads" If he believes the radio his opinion
of his elders is considerably higher. But he can't
believe both.
And so the net result is likely to be conclusion
his part that the elder generation is bit queer;
and consequently it is logical for him to doubt the
wisdom of any other preachment that he may re-
ceive from his parents or his school teachers.
Prejudice against the cigaret used to be intense
It greatly broken down by the war. and since
the war has continued to decline.
Why iE it. then. that text book, compiled four
years after the war; should continue to spread the
prejudice in the name of education?

Heroes of Peace

Pensions and medals there are in plenty for the

For What Purpose2

The voters of this city have every right to ask the
reason that lies behind the activities in the legislature
to defeat the city manager form of government.
The voters, by preponderance of one to five.
voted more than two years ago to adopt this method
for tlansacting their affairs.
The law as it stands, permitted this action. The
control of city governments especially as to 1orm' by
the legislature is itself absurd The people should be
able to adopt the kind of government they want, as
long as they pay the bills.
Certainly no important group of people in this or
any of the other larger cities of the state have de-
nanded this sort of protection from the lawmakers
Yet there Is very real fight and the people have
every right to know its inspiration and the source OF
this antagonism.
The plan has the Endorsement of experience 1t
works.
Under its workings, Cincinnati emerged from its
graft-ridden and stagnant condition Its leaders and
the rank and file of the citizenship praise it and ap-
plaud it.
The same is true in other cities which have adopt
ed it and the number grows each year.
The truth is that the only opponents of the plan
are the politicians who Sc their soft jobs going
and the seekers of special privilege who have usually
obtained what they wanted by dividing the people
under the plea of party loyalty some sort of
chicanery.
The utility lobby, and 1t is bigger ana more nso-
lent at this session than in the past, is work.

Two years ago these forces able to prevent the
people from Immediately going to this form of gov
eminent. Now they want to prevent it permanently.
The test of the individual legislator will depend
somewhat on his vote the different bills affecting
this plan. The man who votes to rob this city and
other cities of this plan of government if they want
it. brands himself being in league with forces that

tnuing tae senate patronage investigation until the

Shady patronage practices being exposed by the

Brookhart's warning to the patronage statesmen is
barred with his assertion that President-Eect Hoover
is giving the investigation all possible assistance.

Reason

IF, as reported, Mr.. Hoover in
l. tends to handle foreign affairs
himself, then he must exercise great
care and select as his secretary of
state a notary public, whose COM
mission does not expire until after
March, 1888.
Reading that two more American
women have applied for Paris di-
vorces, we suggest that our next
tariff law put prohibitory tariff

Our infant industry at Reno
should be protected and this great
business kept in the United States.
The coming issue in this country
il that between the hostile interests
of city and country and this hos
tility came to the surface in con-
gress when the foreign influence,
which is city proposition, defeated
the effort to throw undesirable
aliens out of the country.
The radio is a great thing, but it
has played havoc with the musical
education of children.
In the old days. it was a rare
thrill for families to have a boy or
girl, able to play the piano or violin,
but now they are listening to the
wide world. -
Susan Lawrence, labor member OF
the British parliament, was denied

AS we recall, this is the first
time northerner has charged a

That grew out of the assault of
Preston S. Brooks of South Caro-

The widow of Reginald C. Wander

war.
