settling time.
On the site of the great Hoover dam the Colora-
do river for ages rushed with its millions of gal
Ions per minute through the high rock walls of
narrow canyon. It follows that path longer, for
mans engineering genius has turned the river aside
forcing it to through artificial tunnel, dug in
of the canyons rocky sides, almost mile high.
Where the river once rushed through channel
cut of solid rock by the water ages ago everything
is dry. Engineers and workers at the great dam,
undisturbed by the torrent, will proceed to erect
wall that will hold back millions of gallons of Colo
RADIO waters to be used man may decide, for irri
cation power. When the wall is finished the tun-
mel will be closed to open at any time when water
behind the dam needs lowering. -

This is big news. The world awaits something
to end the depression and the flying machine may do
it.
Steam started great boom after Waterloo,
the gold rush in 40 started another electricity used
for light and power, started another, the automobile
started the recent great boom, which wars squander
ing raised to frenzy.
For men the most important thing is life, and
next movement. The perfected airplane,
America to Europe in ten hours, New York city to
San Francisco Seattle to Jacksonville F1a in ten
hours, may start the next big boom.
The German cruiser Karlsruhe, first to visit an
American port since the war, received in New York
harbor grand reception, guns booming, arplanes
flying overhead, flags displayed. The war is
and German battleship should be treated like any
other foreign batteship. It might be better, how
to artillery salutes and flag displays for
great passenger and other commercial ships in which
Germany excels.
