0KLAHOMAN ASSAILS
FL0OD-CONTR0L PLAN
E. z. Blake Tells Drainage Con-
gress Mississippi Tributaries
Are Being Neglected.

By the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, February 20.-
Tributaries of the Mississippi River are
not receiving proper consideration un-
der the national hood-control act, e. e.
Blake, Oklahoma City, charged before
the National Drainage Congress here
today.
The Jadwin plan of flood control,
which calls for system Of hoodways
along the Mississippi, was held UP to
ridicule by Mr.. Blake. He chanpioned
the reservoir plan, which, he said, Is a
far better method Of flood prevention
than the building Of hoodways. The
compact, of which he is author, provides
for the distribution Of the cost of i'm
pounding waters in the upper reaches
Of the Red and Arkansas Rivers between
Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, New Mex
leo, Kansas, Colorado and Louisiana.
Mr.. Blake referred to levees as mud
walls" revetments as rip rap" and the
two together as "the Nations admitted
delusion, the contractors perennial
paradise and the settlers sacrifice and
bankruptcy"
Mr. Blake advocated the construction
Of reservoirs in all tributaries to cut
down floods to stream capacity. The
plan developed for the States drained
by the Arkansas and Red, he said,
would reduce the flow Of those rivers
one-half and would keep the Missis-
sippi safely within its artificial banks.

hind lines, drawn by police and cavalry
men. The avenue was as light as day
from the garlandS of electric lights
strung from buildings and arches.
President Irigoyen personally escorted
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover to the opera. AS
they entered the presidential box the
entire audience arose in salute, and the
orchestra played the national anthems
Of Argentina and the United States.
The gala performance provided a
thrilling climax to the Argentina visit.
Party Prepares to Leave.
Early the next morning the members
of the goodwill mission were snatching
hasty breakfasts at their hotels, by spe-
cial arrangement with the cafe man
ayers, and then were on their way to
the wharves. where the Argentine
cruiser, "Buenos Aires" waited to carry
them 10 miles down the La Plata River
to Montevideo.
The cruiser had ben provided gra-
ciously by President Irigoyen. The U. s.
trip up the river because Of the war
ships deep draft, and anchorage had
been effected in the harbor of the Ur-
uguayan capital
President Irigoyen accompanied Mr..
and Mrs. Hoover to the dock. Several
troops of lancers escorted the presi-
dental automobiles through the city.
At the dock the Argentine president
assisted his guests from their cars and
then walked down the gangplank with
them, consenting to pose for the pho
tographers on the cruiser.
Final farewells were exchanged, the
President returned to the dock. the
gangplank was drawn ashore and the
cruiser moved out in the river, en-
route to the sea.
Touched by the sincerity of the
Argentine welcome. Mr.. Hoover was
moved to send a special radio message
of appreciation from the Buenos Aires
as the vessel churned its way down the
river.
Addressing the message to President
Irigoyen the President-elect said: ut
Is source of deep satisfaction to have
had this opportunity of discussing with
your excellency in a frank and friendly
manner the forces In progress in our
respective countries.
"I believe that from this visit and
from our interchange of ideas there will
result better understanding of the
problems facing each of us"

nURING the period of recupera-
IL tion Nujol will help you. 1t is
real health promoter. Keeps the sys-
tenn functioning normally, does not
allow it to get clogged up.
Physicians agree that. particularly
If you've been sick, purging by laxa-
tives and cathartics is not advisable.
Many doctors are, therefore, pre-
scribing Nujol, as in no case does it
Cause exhaustion or weakening of
the system. 1t regulates the system,
eliminates poisons, and brings about
better health.
Nujol is as harmless as pure water
Just fine natural substance that
keeps the system working at all times
the way nature meant it to. Regular
ly. Easily. Normally.
Nujol may be given to little babies,
very old folks, invalids and Others
VINO arc eaSily upset py more drastic
methods.
Let Nujol help to restore you to COM
plete and vigorous health. Take a
spoonful every night. After a trial
you IL have more ambition, and ener-
gy, feel more optimistic. You II soon
look and be yourself again.
Nuiol has been used for years by
thousands of people, as a regular
part of their health regimen. It's
surprising how it straightens you
out when you feel dull and heavy.
Especially in winter when you don't
get nearly enough exercise. Or cat
enough green foods.

TAFT ENDORSES
MEMORIAL PLAN
Sounds Call to Help Build
Auditorium to Honor
Washington.

An Endorsement of the plan to erect
in the Capital an auditorium in stone
and marble as memorial to George
Washington, Chief Justice William
Howard Taft of the Supreme Court of
the United States sounds the call to all
patriotic Americans to make the Cap
ital ready for the elaborate plans for
honoring the memory of washington
on the 200th anniversary OF his birth
three years hence. The Endorsement
was written yesterday to Mrs. Henry F.
Dimock, president Of the George Wash
ington Memorial Association, and has
been made public by Mrs. Dimock.
Mrs. Dimock, in releasing the letter,
also added that Charles Evans Hughes,
former Secretary OF State, will speak
over Nationwide radio hook-up from
station WEAF, New York, Friday night,
beginning at 1880 o'clock, on plans OF
the memorial association. Chief Justice
Taft's letter follows:
Three years hence we propose to
celebrate with appropriate ceremony
the 200th anniversary Of the birth OF
George Washington. Is 1t possible that
1t will find the great and beautiful city
which bears his name unready for the
celebration?

"The time is growing 50 short fol-

and gives us a profound and loving

boxing is given due attention. OF
course, horse racing is the biggest at
traction, and the Jockey Club at
Buenos Aires has provided an excellent
track for followers of the turf. The
Argentine breed of race horse is ia
nous for its speed and stamina,
despite its apparently small build.
President-elect Hoover's time was
taken up so fully by luncheonS, din
ners and receptions that sightseeing
had to be curtailed, but he learned
much of Argentina's social and eco
nomic progress In conferences with Of
ficials Of the country He also learned
of American trade development In in
American colony. The Americans have
formed several progressive business and
patriotic societies in Buenos Aires,
these organizations including the
American Club. the American Legion,
the United States Chamber OF Com
merce in Argentina, the Patriotic So
ciety of American Women and the
American Society of the River Plate.
The last-named organization en-
braces members from all the other So
cieties, and under its auspices there
was held a pretentious reception in
honor of Mr.. and Mrs Hoover In the
ballroom or the Plaza HoCel. Inc
President-elect and his wife shook
hands for more than an hour as the
long line Of ''home folks" passed in
front OF them. Members Of the Buenos
Aires Post of the American Legion as
sisted In the arrangements.
Opera Is Climax.
The climactic event of the two-day
program was the grand opera perform
ance in the Colon Opera House on the
eve of Mr.. Hoover's departure. A lover
of the arts, the Argentine is an en-
thusiastic supporter Of the opera, and
most of the world-famous operate
artists have performed in Buenos Aires
at one time or another.
The special performance In honor OF
the American President-elect was, more
over, an extraordinary social event, the
limited supply of tickets for which were
in great demand among the ultra-elite
Of the capitals social set. The boxes
were aglitter with jewels and splashed
with the color of gay evening gowns
and the gold braid and brilliant uni
forms of the military.
Vast crowds had collected In front OF
the opera house and these were kept be-
