Vast System of Locks for
Frontier Protection viii
Be Tested.
BY MINOTT SAUNDERS,
NEA Service Writer.

PARIS, March ga vast system
of locks which, when opened would
inundate the country for miles and
create a formidable defense of the
northern frontier of France, IS be-
ing developed by the war depart
ment, according to War Minister
Andre Maginot.
This scheme is an important fac
tor in the big system of frontier de-
Tense upon which French experts
have been working ever since the
war. Old-fashioned methods are
being discarded, and the plan for
flooding such an important section
of the country is one of the most
daring yet conceived.
"In the north, from Lille to Dun
kirk, we encounter facilities for in
undation which we do not find else
where" M. Maginot says. But
these foundations at present are
only intermittent and depend on
the season so far as their available
ity for defense is concerned. A
guaranty of security should, of
course, be permanent. In time Of
stress it is necessary to be able to
flood the threatened territory i'm
mediately."
Maginot explained that veri-
table mobilization of the waters is
planned.

ACTRESS ENDS

RETURN FADES
Ex-Star'S Health Wrecked
by Dieting to Attain
Slender Figure.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, March 31.-Allyn
King, whose blonde loneliness once
was chronicled in the Pickering
lights of Broadway stage life, was
dead today, a martyr to the harsh
code Broadway assumes, that they
never come back"
Convinced that her career as
stage star was over, the former
Ziegfeld star died in Bellevue hos
pital Sunday several hours after she
had thrown herself from Green
wich Village apartment.
Both arms and legs were broken
and her skull fractured and only
her last words, 81 did it, because l
never can return to Broadway" re-
manned to recall her career.
Elevated by Florenz Ziefeld from
a New Haven cabaret girl to a star
in her own right, Allyn King be-
came one of the most popular OF
his stars.
Then in 1921 came the craze for
"boyish" figures, and her contract
said she must weigh lis pounds. She
lived for months on a strict diet
and finally, she was carried to
sanitarium, physical and mental
wreck.
For two years she was there, and
recovered only to find she never
could regain her former place.

RIVER, HARB0R
BILL PROPOSED
TO AID INDIANA
$500, 900, 900 May Be
Total: Ohio Near Evans
vile May Get 100000.

BIZ ScriDps-HoioGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, March 31.-The
greatest rivers and harbors bill in
the history Of the country will be
reported from the house committee
on rivers and harbors within a week
or ten days.
The committee has completed
hearings on suggested work, and
will start writing its bill next week.
This will not take long, Chairman
Wallace Dempsey believes.
The bill probably will authorize
construction work totaling between
s125,000,000 and s15OOOO,00O.
If the bill should pass both house
and senate within the next two
months, money for starting the
work, and thus relieving unemploy-
ment, might be included in a dc
ficiency bill and made available
July /.
Small Projects Added
The committee probably will in
clude in the bill all the projects
that were put into the bill that
failed of passage in the last con-
gress. The total cost of this work
was $115,OO0,00O. To this will be
added a considerable number of
small projects.
In addition the committee has
under consideration four large and
costly proposals for improvement
work. If all these should be ap-
proved, the bill would call for ex-
penditure of more than $500. 100000
Among the items in last years
rivers and harbors bill, which prob
ably are to be carried over into the
new measure are the following:
New York, Hudson river, $3.50, 900;
Port jefferson harbor, $4,000: Great
