CALEXICo, Calif.-With a good
Mexican pilot, few down over the
mouth of the Colorado River, where
1t empties into the Gulf Of Lower
California.
You know we talk about water
problem between us and Mexico of
this Colorado River. Say, when the
Americans get through taking out
water the river don't have any
mouth and leaves no problem. We
have few unique spots in our coun-
try, and this Imperial Valley is one
of them. Below sea level and the
most fertile spot outside the Valley
of the Nile, and that's only good
for burial purposes, but this raises
real alfalfa and cotton and grape
fruit. No time to monkey with old
King Tut here.

dent on Trip.

Although President Hoover has with
him the military heads of the Govern
ment on his week end camping party

retaries Hurley and Davidson and Maj.
Gen. Charles A. Summerall, chief Of

hours. The President was up at z
o'clock this morning and shortly after
o'clock the party had completed
breakfast in the cool air of the
mountains.

the rugged edge of one of the Rapidan
headwaters and later returned to the
camp for a conference with the mill
tary heads in his party.
According to Mr.. Hoovers plans, he
will return to the White House shortly
before noon Monday. Mrs. Hoover did
not accompany him on this outing.
Despite the remoteness Of the Presi-
dents mountain camp, he not only is
in close touch with the Government by
medium of the telephone and telegraph
but he is receiving the daily papers
and his personal mail just about as
soon as he would II he was back in the
White House. Quick deliveries have
been made possible this week end by
use of an airplane.

plane ST. Louis Robin began the third
week of its record endurance flight to-
day with its pilots, Dale (RedD Jack

and apparently in good physical con-
dition.
The start of the fifteenth day found
the plane far out in front in the cur
rent endurance flying season, its chief
rival, the Billion Dollar City Of Hous-

233 hours, and well on the way toward
an epochal performance.

at $50 am, when Jackson brought the
Robin within 125 feet of the ground
and tossed overheard a cylinder contain

for supplies. The spectators broke into
a cheer as the plane swooped overhead
and jackson waved in response.

A supply of go gallons of gasoline and

The too-close presence Of a plane
bearing a movie cameraman interrupted
the refueling contact last night and re-

16 Dead and 9 Injured Now Toll
of Cruiser Devenshire Turret
Blast in Malta.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VALETTA, Malta, July 27.-The
British admiralty has taken such a
serious view of yesterdays explosion in
a gun turret of the cruiser Devonshire
that the dreadnaught Queen Elizabeth,
with the commander r-in-chief of the
Mediterranean feet aboard, today was
steaming at full speed to Volo, Greece,
to hold an immediate inquiry.
The death of another marine during
the night brought the number of IA
talities up to 16, with injured. The
loss of the submarine HAT, with %
lives on July 8, quickly followed by an
explosion aboard the submarine XII
and the bursting of an air bomb on
the cruiser Vindictive, which killed l
and injured 2, together with yesterdays
disaster, have made this month the
blackest in many years in the British
Navy.
After the inquiry aboard the Devon
shire the vessel will return to Malta
and probably will be ordered to Eng
land. The dead will be buried today
on Greek territory. The injured are
being brought to Malta aboard hos
pital ship.

Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra in
straight sets, 6-1, 8-6, 6-4.
The victory of the youthful American
collegians over the French pair, which
had scored two singles triumphs yes

First Year in Cup Battle.
The victory for the young American
team-Allison is only "a and Van Ryn

TACOMA, Wash, July 27-The City
of Tacoma is ready for this contem-
plated nonstop flight from Tacoma to
Toxic. We are now waiting only on
the weather. Preferably the take-off
will be at dawn, following the first
favorable weather bulletin.
The weather from Tacoma to Dutch
Harbor will be the only worry after
the hop-off. During this lap of the
flight the plane will be carrying an
enormous load Of gasoline, decreasing
as the motor whirs the ship westward
over the Pacific Ocean.
Once past Dutch Harbor the ship will
be light enough to fly easily and there
will be no occasion to worry about
being able to 60 through or around
almost any kind of weather.
The flight, however, will be dan
gerous as far as Dutch Harbor. 1t
would be difficult to fly the heavily
ladened plane and use the navigation
instruments as much as would have
to do in case of fog. Fighting a 5000
pound machine through bad air is a big
enough job, without any navigation
problems added to it.
The tail skid of the City of Tacoma
was replaced by small wheel yesterday,
in order to give the ship more speed

PARIS, July 27 OPI. Aristide
BRAND, foreign minister in the Poin-
care government, was called to the
Elysee Palace late today, this being
considered tantamount to announce
ment that he had been called to form
q cabinet
BY the Associated Press
PARIS, July 27-The French cabinet
resigned in body shortly before noon
today after Raymond Poincare, pre-
mier, refused to reconsider his own de-
cision to resign. An impending opera
ton, made necessary by exhaustion and
fatigue from his long fight for the debt
agreement with America, was behind the
premier's action.
The cabinets resignation was handed
to President Doumergue, who presided
at the meeting, by Louis Barthou, act
ing premier, who drafted letter read
ing as follows:
THE efforts we have made with M.
Poincare to persuade him in the inter-
ests of his country to retain direction Of
public affairs has not met with the re-
suit we had hoped.
I'VE must bow to his decision with
the regret of not being able to continue
a collaboration that was accompanied
by our admiration and respectful devo-
tion. Therefore We beg you, NJ. Presi-
dent, kindly to accept our resignation
and the expression of our profound re-
Spect."
All Ministers Sign.
The letter was signed by all the min
iSters and SubSecreCarleS.
Prior to appearing at the cabinet
meeting, Aristide BRAND, foreign min
lister, and Louis Barthou, who is vice
premier, had gone to the home of M.
?oincare and sought to have him change
his mind about leaving the ministry.
Their quest was hopeless, however, and
they returned with their bad news.
M. Poincare himself had sent letters
announcing his resignation last night
both to the cabinet and &c President
Doumergue. That to the President read:
"The fears that I expressed to you
have been realized. 1t is impossible
for me to be restored to nealth COM
pletely without a surgical operation. The
preparations for which and the con-
valescence will condemn me tn enforced
rest for two or three months. .r.,
"I cannot, therefore, especially under
the present circumstances, fulfill as
should the functions that you have been
good enough to intrust to me the last
three years, and I find myself, to my
deep regret, in the necessity OF pre-
senting to you my resignation.
"I remain profoundly grateful to you
for the good will you never ceased TO
show me and I beg you to receive, M.
President, the renewed assurance of my
respect -
(Signed) RAYMOND POINCARE."
Resignation Accepted.
President Doumergue, after the usual
exchange of compliments, accepted the
ministry's resignation, asking them to
continue their work until a new min
istry can be formed.
He then summoned M. Fernand

Deputies, and M Paul Doumer, Presl-

about a successor to M. Poincare.
