BUILDING OF DAM

Will go into it, John l.. Bacon. of
San Pedro, chairman of the Cali
tod delegates to the 88th meeting
OF the American Association for the
Advancement of Science yesterday.
Ordinarily very little attention is
paid to pouring of concrete, he said,
but in this particular case the
need TO carry off the heat generated
by chemical combinations and re-
actions of the settling cement be-
comes q real problem.
If the concrete, being poured at
the rate of 5000 cubic yards per
day and reaching thickness in
some places of 600 feet, was per-
mitted to cool by itself it would re-
quire approximately a century for
1t to cool. Such slow cooling would
cause the dam to crack
Bacon said that a method of re-
frigeration has been worked to take
care of the problem. BY this method
series of pipes will be built
through the structure and brine
will be run through the pipes to
cool the concrete artificially. Later
the pipes will be sealed and left in
the structure.

DEAN OF AMERICAN LEAGUE
IJMPIRES GETS NEW PLACE

William Harridee. Connolly's du-
ties will be 10 supervise all matters
pertaining to umpires, and to, scout
for new talent in the minor leagues
Born in Manchester England
December 81, 1870, Connolly never
played a game Of baseball and die
not see one played until he was Is
Cricket was the only game he knew
until he appointed himself bat boy
for a team that represented Natick
Mass, after his parents moved to
this country in October, 1884. He
later managed the Natick team, but
when asked to manage the Y. M. c
A. team of the same city, declined
and said he believed he would like
to be an umpire.
The late Tim Hurst, famed as a
major league umpire, saw Connolly
officiate a game in 1893 and i'm
mediately recommended him to the
New England League, where Tommy
umpired for four years. He went
to the National League in 1898 and
remained there until 1901, when he
cast his fortune with the young Am
erican League.
He has officiated in eight world
series, and missed another because
of illness. A keen student of the
game, Connolly knows the rules
from a to z. Few umpires have
ever been held in greater respect
than Connolly, and players never
engaged in violent arguments with
him. Connolly's ever-ready wit u.s.
ually sent players who disputed hi:
decision back TO the bench smiling
Connolly, it is said, knows more
firemen than any man in America.

A lot OF people just like you have found in

Suppose you are driving Pontiac for the

Going along at medium speed, you notice
how smooth and quiet the engine is. You
wonder how Il will be at high speed, and
test shows II is just as smooth.
Over back road, Pontiac's rubber insuIa-
tion" at 43 points in the chassis surely does
take up road shocks and gives Pontiac fine-ear
riding ease. So do the four hydraulic shock
absorbers, and the other niceties Of design.
You examine the Pontiac interior, and at
once you see that the upholstery is genuine

proof. Everything has been done for your
complete comfort.
There r-mains only Pontiae's effect en-
other people. Chances you notice along

the silt which will be brought down

Against 30,000000 acre feet that will
be available for water this will be
but a minor item.
Il predict, however, that within
80 or 40 years. after the dam has
been finished, there will be from so

In the old days when umpires kept
themselves more aloof from players
than they have in recent years,
Tommy acquired the habit of visit
ing fire stations and tanning with
the boys. AS a result he built up
a tremendous acquaintance h p
among firemen who swear by the
veteran umpire.
Until a few years ago he also re-
fereed roller-polo games In Massa-
chusetts, but gave it up to spend
more time with his family, which
consists OF his wife and eight child
