HOOVER RULE
TO Be ERA OF
VAST PROJECTS
Economy Cry Will Give
Way to Constructive
Prosperity
BY THOMAS L. STOKES

United Press staff Correspondent
MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. s.
President Elect Hoover will inaugu-
rate in his administration a big
scale engineering era which \ will
bear fruit in mammoth construc-
tive projects for inland waterway
development, flood control, cleo
trio power development, irrigation
and related purposes.
Looking forward to continued
peace and prosperity, Hoover plans
an era of international develop
ment and expansion that will pro-
vide the country with many agencies
discussed but never carried forward
to actuality.
Constructive prosperity will re-
place the now famous economy
slogan of the Coolidge administra-
ton, which necessarily was an ad-
ministration of retrenchment after
period of huge expenditures to
carry on the war.
Boosts Nicaraguan Canal
The construction Hoover proposes
naturally will require large OUTLAWS
of money, but improved facilities
will bring their own financial re-
turns.
He even looks beyond the borders
of the United States for a develop
ment that will react to aid business
in this country, the Nicaraguan
canal being project that he hopes
to leave as monument to his adj
ministration.
The first engineer present in gen.
erations, he wishes his adn1inistra-
ton stamped in history as a giant
constructive engineering period,
with projects on every hand to bear
witness.
This will be evident in his inau-
guration address, in Which much at
tention will be devoted to pending
projects of this nature-the Boulder
Canyon dam project, Muscle Shoals,
Mississippi and other flood relief
measures, the Great LakeS-St. Law
renee waterway and other proposed
waterway routes. and to such dis
cussed projects as the Umatillo and
Columbia river basin projects of the
northwest.
For this reason, Hoover will place
at the head of the war and interior
departments, in which lie juriSdic-
ton of such projects, men who have
had engineering training.
Inspects Everglades Problem
The engineering activities of the
war department will be emphasized
far more than hitherto.
The President already has
offered sample of his purposes in
the trip he has arranged. for an
inspection of Florida's Everglades
flood problem, in the Okeechobee
lake district, northwest of here,
where 1000 lives we're lost vast year
when the hurricane whipped up the
waters of the lake to break down
inadequate levees.
This trip recalls his relief ac-
tivities in the Mississippi river food
of 1927, a problem of greater scope
but no more acute.
It is very likely that during his
administration. Hoover's keen in
terest in various constructive prof.
ects will inspire numerous such
trips for personal inspection of
their progress.
An engineer by training, he likes
to get on the ground and see what
is what.

GLIDE WINS
GREAT POPULARITY

Thanks to the Camel Glide"
dance lovers of the foolish forties"
and older years have come into their
own.
No longer is it necessary for them
to take proverbial back seat while
jazz bands blare away some con-
glomerated tune to which only the
nirnblest of youths can set rapid
fire series of body contorticns.
This fact Is in plain evidence at
the Indiana Roof ballroom this
week, where The Times, in co-opera-
ton with the ballroom management,
is introducing the Camel Glide"
new dance which is declared by
many critics to be the most grace
full and the smoothest to gain popu-
larity in years.
A clipping of this story will adj
NIT one person to the Roof tonight
for the instruction class, which will
be held between 7:30 and $3.50
o'clock.
The new Camel Glide" is being
done to ordinary fox trot tempo and

is being accepted by dancers with a
welcome such as has not been seen
for years, according to Tom DeVine,
manager of the Roof.
There seems to be a strong de-
mand for something to replace such
hectic and firing movements as
have been found in dances like the
Charleston and BLACK Bottom he
said, land the Camel Glide appar-
emily is exactly what they have been
waiting for. It is not the product of
one mind, but rather, the combina-
ton of several steps which have APP
peared on the Roof floor during the
last few weeks as the result of new
tunes which seem to be the vogue
at this time.
"ThiS new music is of slower
tempo. 1t has what we term a sweet
tune, and for expression needs dance
interpretations somewhat similar to
those we found for waltzes many
years ago."
Thursday night is the last of the
free instruction classes, he said.
