WORK ON LOCAL
SWIMMING POOL
STARTS TODAY

One of the most modern swimming
pools in the west will be ready for
the enjoyment of FL Centro citizens
within the next six weeks, accord
ing to Fred Kenyon. who started
work today on the plant.
The pool will be constructed Of re
inforced concrete and tile, 40 feet
wide and 12O feet long. 1t will be
from three to 9 feet deep. Every
modern appliance for the enjoyment
and safety of the swimmer will be
emploscd, according to Kenyon.
The site, leased to Kenyon by the
city council last night, is that part
of the city park fronting Oh Eighth
street between Park and Adams
streets. Kenyon has the option to
purchase the property and 1t IS un-
derstood that definite action in that
direction will be taken in the near
future.
1t is expected that more than
100000 will be expended in the
building of the pool and the con-
struction of bath house, spectator s
patio and other buildings. The
architecture of the buildings will be
Indian.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of the plant to the swimmer is the
fact that the water will be purer
than actual drinking water. A com.
plete chlorination filtering plant
costing in the neighborhood of
$1,000 will be installed. The water
is to be completely filtered every 3
hours. The pool will hold $4,000
gallo: 9.
To Have Instructor
Another improvement will he the
use of the modern under water
vacuum cleaner. This bit of ma
ullnery eliminates all pool dirt
without the withdrawal of the wa
ter.
Kenyon has arranged for the SCI
lees of a swimming instructor who
will give both private and class
lessons. A life guard will be on
Guty at all hours. The instructor,
it is understood, is formerly of the
San Diego Y. NJ. G. A.
It is also planned to have COM
plete line of bathing suits, rubber
caps, etc. for rental as well as other
apparatus necessary to the enjoy
ment of the swimmer.
And last, but not least, there will

Attorneys for Habib Kahn, self-styled

Imogene Smith, former Oklahoma farm

to marry Kahn, whom she is suing for
$4,000 for breach Of promise.
Kahn is In Afghanistan. He is said
to have taken home with him 5000, 600
which he made by importing silks dur
ing the Alaskan gold rush and in a hot
tamale business here.
The defense expects to show that
Kahn purchased passports for himself

MONEY RATE GYRATIONS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, April 4.-McNeel's Finan-
cial Service, in its latest issue of bulle-
tins, declares that whatever one may
think of the desirability of curbing
speculation along the lines suggested by
the Federal Reserve authorities, no one
can have any great respect for the way
the money situation Is being handled.
"a policy or situation" McNeel's
says, (which results in 20 per cent call
money one day and the next day
per cent certainly suggests lack Of COM
potency.
THE fact that bankers were able TO
get renewal rate for call loans of Is
per cent last Thursday to carry over
the triple holiday only to have money
offered as low as per cent later In the
day suggests degree of artificiality
which does not appeal to the stock
market observer. However one may
criticize, the fact remains that these
are the conditions which exist and
they are the conditions with which the
investor must cope and against which
he must protect himself"

DECLARED VICTIMS
Experts Say Curb on Speculation
Will Hurt United States
Business.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 4.--In a Joint
statement Waddill Catchings, president
Of the Goldman Sachs Trading Corpo-
ration, and william Tr,ifant Foster,
director of the Pollak Foundation for
Economic Research, declare:
"There is one way and only one way
whereby the Federal Reserve system can
succeed, for more than a little while
at time, In its efforts to stop the rise
in stock prices. That Is by tnjuring
business"
Mr.. Catchings and Mr.. Foster, who
have elaborated in the authorship OF
several books on economic subjects, In
the most recent Of which, "The Road
to Plenty" they present q plan for
avoiding economic depression, accuse
the Federal Reserve Board of having
kept business men In state of nervous
apprehension by lack Of any clear or
positive policy, by undertaking to con-
troll the uses of credit and by alternate
vague warnings and reaSsuranceS. At
the same time, they say, the board has
provided professional spectators with
many opportunities to reap profits at
the expense Of small investors.
Pointing out that without strength
In business there is no possibility Of
sustained strength In the stock market,
the statement says that as long as in
vestors have confidence In the growth
Of business they will buy stocks for in
vestment at advancing prices.
ITO bring about brief recessions," Mr..
Catchings and Mr.. Foster declare, land
thereby squeeze out weak holdings Of
,, stock, Is possible in any market. But
as long as the present market, which Is
at bottom an investment market, Is
based on growth In real values, recess
sions cannot last long.
AFTER all has been said about the re-
cent speculation In stockS-and 1t is
difficult to exaggerate-the fact remains
that the fundamental basis of the
present bull market is confidence in the
soundness Of American business and in
the immediate possibility Of further
growth And this confldence-apart
from the uncertainty created by the
Federal Reserve Board itself-is war
ranted by the facts. That Is why the
board can achieve its announced pur-
| pose only by hurting business.
Even by so doing, the board can only
temporarily curb speculation. It can
not prevent speculation. Wherever there
! is a market In anything there is specu-
lation. Whichever way the market
moves there is speculation. Wherever
there is an unusual rise or fall in

prices there Is unusual speculation. I'm
fortunately. speculation always has
thrived on Investment, IS barnacles
grow on ships. The only way in which
1t can be greatly reduced Is through
educating the people to q better under
standing Of values. Scolding and
spanking are not enough"

No one stirred, except to settle them
selves more comfortably in the hard
wooden pews.

put down their red hymnalS when Jonas

"You may come forward now," he
commanded, his short-sighted eyes star
ing toward the back of the church. All
heads turned and the pews squeaked as
the congregation squirmed for a better
look.
The rear door of the church opened
with the usual protest. Hastily, and
very much out of breath. Luke Dunnet
came pattering up the aisle, but alone
His face was tragic study OF despair
and anger. He was hatlesS and bedrag-

of the pews Uttered audibly and was

cation leaned forward to hear the better

he reached the Rev. Jonas Warren. He
onto the open Bible that lay on the
pulpit. She's gone with a sailor!" he
gasped.
Jonas Warren swallowed twice, reach
ed for his hat that he kept under the
pulpit and started off down the aisle,
with Luke in his wake. The door
squeaked open and slammed shut before
the congregation recovered.
With all the activity of swarming bees
they buzzed out the little wooden build
ing into the warm dusk of the Summer
evening. A jostling, excited little mob
following the Tapping coattails of the
Rev. Jonas Warren. On the brow OF
