Boulder City, NeV-ThlS is sent from the newest
city in America, built by Uncle Sam on his ten
square-mile reservation as headquarters for work
on the Hoover dam, now under way at the bottom
of Boulder Dam canyon about one thousand feet be-
low this Western Union office.
The Colorado, in the dry season, flows 5000
cubic feet per second. In the of high water,
when the melted mountain SHOWS rushing down,
the flow is two hundred thousand cubic feet per Sec
ond. Such torrent would wash away anything you
might build, and you cannot construct concrete
WALL with its foundation bed rock. 14O feet below
the river bed, in the midst of flowing water.
The engineers Of the six Companies" successful
bidders for the government contract answer the
question simply. Make four tunnels two each
side of the river each fifty feet wide and Deep start
ing above the dam site and coming out below it.
Build cofferdam to divert the river flow into those
four tunnels Let the giant river flow around your
dam site through the canyons stone walls to right
and left, while you build your dam on dry ground.
Then close your four tunnels with gates, let the
water pile up behind your concrete wall seven hun
dred feet HIGH the wall of the dam curvng up stream
to resist the rushing current. The four tunnels
be used later to lower the water level if desired.
It is perfectly simple, although it will cost
hundred and sixty-dve million dollars to build the
DAM equip the power houses built into the wall ITSELF
This magnificent work will produce one million
horsepower, change millions of desert acres to the
most fertile fields earth, bless the states within
reach of its water and power, including those that
opposed the work.
1t will supply water for the additional millions
of population that will live in southern California
and Arizona and power to the states entitled to IL.
The undertaking is financially the greatest single
construction enterprise undertaken. With the
aqueduct and plant equipment, the cost will exceed
four hundred millions It is impossible to exaggerate
its value to the neighboring states and the entire
nation.

The rolored Elks of the World,
who lost their court appeal sew
eral weeks ago to become a sep

of the present fraternal body, are
going to appeal to the. United
States Supreme Court.
The decision of the insurgents
was reached when the Virginia
leaders and several representa-
tives of lodges from New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania met
at Richmond and completed
plans for taking the issue to a
higher court. Henry w. Ander-
son, q member of the Wicker

legal defense, it is said.
The Washington times., 1931-07-23

A little news story out of At
lanta was a reminder today that
sometimes laws, like chickens,
come home to roost. The particu-
lar law now in mind is a Federal
statute, two decades old, forbid
ding the interstate shipment OF
prize-fight films.
Therefore, their showing is re-
stricted to the State in which the
battle occurs, which makes it hard
on the fight fans of the provinces.
The Atlanta dispatch briefly
says that a theater crowd "booed
and hissed' when Federal agents
stopped the showing there of a
film of the notwithstanding
encounter.
Still Their Idol .
Young Stribling is Georgian,
and the Cracker State still has
pride in his fists, though Schmel-
ing, the German, laid him low.
Well, the author of the Federal
law used to stop the theater
showing of the fight also was a
Georgian-the late Representa-
tive S. Anderson Roddenbery, of
Thomasville, a town just few
miles from where Stribling was
born.
Representative Roddenbery was
in Congress when Jack johnson
knocked out Jim Jeffries in Reno,
away back in 1910.
He grew so indignant when he
learned that pictures of the con-
test between a white and colored
man were being sBhown that he
vowed he'd stop such things,
insofar as Federal laws could stop

mingling of the races, even in
the prize ring.
Law Regretted
So he put in a bill, and Con-
gress approved it, barring fight
films from interstate commerce.
Some members Of Congress since
have regretted the law, but it's
still on the books. Various ways
have been tried to get around it;
transportation of fight films has
been tried even by airplanes, but
the Federal agents always step
in. And that's why Atlanta fans
missed seeing the pictures Of
Young Stribling and Max.

Was a Present
Not much to love, you'll say.
may be right. But he was a
present to me out in Hollywood
a little more than two years
ago. He was only a week old
when they slipped him into my
pocket, and the wife and I have
been watching him grow ever
since. Maybe that's why he
didn't seem as homely to us as
he did to others. Maybe we
didn't quite realize it.
We've had great fun together,
Barney and I. I hadn't owned
him more than two weeks when
I stumbled upon an excellent
racket. I had only to take him
out on Hollywood Boulevard to
have all the prettiest women in
town flock right around me.
It was an absolute cinch. To
this day, I don't think the wife
really knows why I was so
anxious to take Barney out for
a walk. I remember her telling
me she never knew I was quite
so fond of dogs.
Then there was the time we
had to bring him back from
California to New York by
train. did that yarn once,
and some of you may remember
it. It's hard for me to forget it.
Barney Is \: bed
They told me I'd have to put
that puppy in that baggage car.
Mrs. Hellinger gave them one
look and told them they would
do no such thing. So it was up
to me to try and keep him con-
cealed while every official on
that train was looking for him.
I did fairly well the first day.
They couldn't find Barney to
put him in the baggage car.
But on the start of the second
day, the dog got loose. He ran
through the train with several
conductors and myself on his
heels. And you know where
tina doggone animal finally
came to rest, don't you? Surely,
you do. In the baggage car!
There were so many other
things that don't know which
to choose at this writing. The
time was supposed to give a
certain pill wasn't bad. either.
I plucked one from the box
and almost broke my hands in
an attempt to have him swallow
one. It was no use. I went to
the bath to wash. When I re-
turned, the game was over. He
had pounced upon the package,

Fond memories. The wife
and I took him to Beechurst'
Long Island, last Sunday after
noon. Around six at night, Bar
new wandered away. He had
done that before, and we
thought nothing of it. But this
time, he must have wandered
too far. Because nobody has
seen him since. And the fond
memories are all we have left
He Wanders Off
Funny to get sentimental
about a dog. Childish, almost.
But that's the type of boob I
am. And I can't help wonder
ing how he met his fate.
Maybe he jumped into Long
Island Sound and found the
swimming too tough. He never
did like those waves, and he
always barked at them in bel
ligerent fashion. Or maybe he
met another big dog that didn't
quite come up to his idea OF
friendship. Maybe they fought
and maybe Barney lost. But
if he did, I'll bet he gave the
other dog all the breaks.
Maybe car hit him. I hate
to think of that, but I sup
pose that might have been the
end. Oh, we'll
May Have Survived
There's just one more angle.
Some person who knew the
value of the dog might have
picked him up and taken him
home. If that's the case. I'd
feel much happier than I do
when think of the other
things. And if by any strange
chance that person happens to
read this column I want him
to know that he has a swell
companion.
Take good care of him, part
ner. Because you'll find him
to be one of the grandest pals
you ever had.
