Leonard Returns
To Boxing Front

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August e.-Benny
IN Leonard, who quit the ring as
king Of the lightweigl1ts six
years ago on the appeal of his
mother and with fortune reputed
to be $500, 900. has decided to stage a
comeback. He says so himself and
SO does dapper Jack Kearns. former
pilot Of Jack Dempsey, present
manager Of Mickey Walker and now
Leonards comeback mentor on
five-year contract.
Kearns launched the ballyhoo to.
day for Leonard with the statement
that Benny would do everything
from defending" the ligiltweielt
crown he reiinquished In 1926, to
campaigning for welterweiRht and
middleweight honors among the
present crop Of gladiators.
Leonard began fighting profession
ally In 1912, won the world light
weight title from Freddy Welsh in
1917 and retired In 1925.

against the advantages Of ours.
'Ewo Of these modern wonders may be con-
sidered completed-the Cascade Tunnel and the
Panama Canal Yet both face the prospect Of
having additions made that will set these out
further as the greatest projects Of their kind m
the world. Each of the remaining I'VE, hgw-
ever, Is in process Of construction. Each Is the
last word In modern engineering-the climax
Of modern ingenuity.
Appraised as whole, all these wonders are
useful adjuncts to civilization that looks wen
into the future. They win be much more help
full to the coming generations than to the
present generation-not mere useless splendors.
Take these modern projects individually and
see what is in them that makes them such out
standing marvels.
+ THE Mississippi River food prevention
A' work entails the enlargement of nearly
1900 miles of levees on both sides of the great
river for a distance of 500 miles, the dredging
of a gigantic Spillway above New Orleans, con-
struction of levees to guide noodwaters down
the man-made canal removal and piling up OF
more than half a billion cubic yards Of earth,
and costly construction Of concrete aprons and
mattresses of willow saplings to protect the
levees against tnroads Of the river.
It should save millions Of dollars Of damage
now done to crops and homes by the periodic
overflow of the river, which inundated thou
sands of acres, cost many lives
For 10 years this work Is to 60 ON. It win
cost, when completed, $685., 900 ,000 almost the
cost of the Panama Canal. But It win save
$4,000 square Cniles Of rich soil from being mum
dated by q flood like that of 1927.
The super-levees that are being thrown UP
now will permit the river to rise fourth higher
than it did in 1927, and they may be expected
to last from IS to IS years.
In many places fuse plug levees nearer the
river are backed by Super-levees farther back,
so that the waters breaking down the first wall
win be met and stopped by the second line Of
levees causing only minimum Of damage.
Up and down the river, from the Ohio River
to the Gulf, men are at work with dredges and
shovels, scoops and scrapers, mud scows and
cranes They're digging channels TO guide the
wandering river, Scraping grading and leveling
the banks Of levees, pouring concrete along the
sides where the river strikes the levees fun force
and otherwise Strengthening the entire course
Simple as the task looks it is nevertheless one
Of the most difhcult engineers have had to
tackle veritable marvel Of today. It Is .
stupendous task.
TT THE Boulder Dam project includes the
construction Of the largest dam In the
world, to be called Hoover DAM and digging Of
q canal southwest from the Colorado River Just
above the Mexican border for the irrigation Of
the Imperial and Coachella valleys In California
It Is to be followed up, according to present
plans by an aqueduct running for 25O miles
from the river to the Los Angeles area, and

can this great wonder-the dam alone-be

TIT THE new 2OO-inch rejecting telescope
being built for the California INSTITUTED
Of Technology near Mount Wilson is surely
q wonder Of modern scientific wonders. The
marvel Of it lies less IN its cost Of $6,OO0, GOO
than In the enlarged vistas 1t win open mp to-
astronomers.
The present largest telescope in the world
Is the 1O0-inch instrument on Mount Wilson,
The new telescope will surpaSs its power by
from S to 10 times. The $500, OOO, 900 stars
that are within the range of the existing tele-
scope viii be increased by several hundred
millions more. The 200-inch 'eye'' will pene-
trate as far into space as billion light years.
Remembering that q light year is equal to
5000, 200, 100000 miles, we shall learn of stars
through this telescope 5000, 900 900 600 900 900

This viii be made possible not only by the
immense quartz mirror, 200 inches In diameter,
that has already taken more than two years
to complete, but by means Of larger Inter
ferometer," which viii be able to measure the.
diameter Of stars millions Of light years away,
and particularly by means Of an ingeniously
contrived heat measuring instrument called q
"thermocouple," which is so sensitive that it
will detect star 631 times fainter than the
faintest star man can see with his unaided
eyes.
Thus millions more stars, nebulae and
galaxies will be revealed to the astronomers
through this new telescope Not only that,
but, getting closer to earth, the new "eye"
will be able to examine more closely the face
of the moon, the composition Of our sun and
the structure Of our planetary system.

one selection is as good as another, here's o
suggestion:
!. The Mississippi food prevention work,
which will cost $325 100000.
q The $165, 100000 Boulder Dam, Colorado
River and AI-American canal project with
possible addition Of the $50 900 900 water sup
ply line to Los Angeles.
3. The 200-inch telescope for Mount Wilson
Observatory, which viii cost mere $6 OOO, 900,
but which will reach millions Of miles into the
unknown
A. The electrified Cascade Tunnel system,
eight miles long and costing $25,O0OOO0
5. The skyscrapers of New York, climaxed by
the $50,OO0,000 Empire State Building and the
$500, 100000 Radio City and amusement center,
still on paper.
6. The $685., 900 Panama Canal and its
promised parallel waterway through Nicaragua,
that might run up to a billion dollars
2. The new Hudson River Bridge, cost $780,
100000, or the Golden Gate Bridge cost
435, 10000
The list is not put up in order Of Importance.
That would be too much of drain on any
mind. And it isn't final, either. Any engineer
might consider some other achievement, like
Muscle Shoals, for instance, as of far greater
significance than any Of those mentioned here
But these seven may be regarded great
enough to form an apt comparison with the
seven wonders Of 1000 and more years ago,

Today the worlds wonders are not seven but

the progress Of mankind.
It is a simple matter for you merely to look
about and detect the wonders that make modern
civilization so remarkable-the telephone and

with its uncanny production of power and light
its labor-saving devices in factory, ONCE and
home; the automobile and its surprising trans
formation In ways Of living; radio, its facilities

promise Of television; the talkies and three

The gamut Of modern wonders is almost IN
exhaustible.
But suppose you confine yourself only to
those wonders Of today that can be compared
in way with the famous seven wonders Of
the distant acknowledge feats Of art and

Btin further to America alone
For comparisons sake, therefore what are the
seven modern engineering wonders of the New
World? What great engineering accomplish
ments Of today, considering mans proportion

matched in similar proportion with the great
Pyramid Of Cheops, for instance or the other
