his rise to prominence starting with
his appointment as sheriff in 1916
to succeed George V. Coffin, who
became chief of police.
Coffin and Mr.. Dodson we're po-
litical associates until 1924, when
there was a reputed break in their
political relationship. Mr.. Dodson

present @. o. P. district and city
chairman.
Mr.. DodSon has exercised wide in
fuence in county politics since his
split with Coffin, when a faction
bearing the name of each sprung up
in political warfare.
Last year Mr.. DodSon led a move
ment to depose Coffin as chairman,
but the movement failed. Dodson
then lost interest in politics, due to
failing health.

the $1,000 prize that will be given,
in addition to all the other prizes,
TO the mother Of Americas physical
culture girl. food Of commenda-
tory letters has poured into the
ONCE Of The Times physical Gull
ture editor from mothers Of pro-
spective entrants.
This special prize is filling long
felt want. for virtually in all cam
paigns where girls beauty of body or
beauty of face was concerned, the
mother came in for little, if any, of
the major prizes Physical Culture
Magazine, in offering the extra
bonus of $1,000 to the mother, has
won even a bigger place for itself
in the hearts of mothers who have
tried all their lives TO rear their
girls along body building and clean
living lines.
To the mother who will get this
big award, it undoubtedly will mean
many things besides the unparal-
leled happiness in knowing that her
daughter, from all the thousands of
girls, is the best proportioned, most
athletically inclined and the finest
specimen of American girlhOod.
On Aug. 10. the submitting of ap-
plicationS will close, and it is not

mitted by a. w. Amthor, general
manager, only 100000 of the pro-
posed issue would be sold and ex-
pended in 1929 and 1880, sufficient to
provide immediate relief for water
logged sections. The construction
program would run over u period NJ
several years.
According TO the estimate, approx
imately seas, 900 would BE- expended

face and seep water, 10 cost SlU3 900:
and installation OF concrete gates
and water meters at a cost Of $780,
900.
In recent years a large acreage
within the district has gone salt
as the result Of inadequate drainage
and seepage from canals. There has
been a steady rise of the water table.
and officials Of the district assert
hat the only remedy is concreting
Of canals and construction Of a
drainage system.
For several months calling or a
bond election has been under con-
I sideration, and the plan is under
stood to have received the endorse
ment of practically all property own
ers. District officials point out
that by placing the district under
concrete the cost of operation can
be greatly reduced; that lands dam
aged by seepage and inadequate
drainage, which have been removed
from the flat rate levy, will be re-
stored. and that this additional rev.
enue together with the reduction in
operation costs should be almost
sufficient to carry the interest and
sinking fund for the bond issue.
Tests have been underway BY the
district engineers to determine the
points Of heaviest eepag in the
canals, and IL is the objective Of the
district 70 line these points AZ soon
MS funds are available. This pro-
gram, they point out, will cut pump
ing and operation costs NJ once. and
the district will then proceed with
concreting Of practically the entire
system.

issue In construction Of a reservoir

will assure an ample supply under
