New Belgian
Envoy Coming

With the formal announce
ment from Brussels that
Count Robert Won Straeten
Ponthoz has been appointed
Belgian ambassador b ere
and will come to this coun-
try in the near future, it is
interesting to note that he is
one of Belgium's most dis
tinguished diplomats.
At present, he is minister
to Denmark, and his career
has extended to many coun-
tries, including Argentina.
He is a Commander of the
Crown of the Order of the
Grand Cross of Saint Olaf of
Danesborg, and a knight of
the Legion Of Honor. Both
Count and Countess Ponthoz
are art-loVers and connois-
Seurs.
His appointment to Wash

diplomatic circles, but was
not officially announced I'M

ity, however, that there is

The giant structure now is past

Won Less than 500 feet OF con-
crete remain to be added TO It's
heights before it reaches Its top
at the 1,232-foot level.
The construction is far ahead
of the schedule laid down when
the project was started IN April
1881. Major activity now is cen
tered on pouring cencrete iof
Scaffolding such as that used

doris penetrate the huge mass OF
concrete, from it's 650-foot wlde
base to its ascending top. Cal
leries thread off the main en-.
trance, some of them to be kept
open after the dam is completed.
MUST COOL CONCRETE
An extensive cooling system
has been installed in the dam.
Pipes carry water cooled to ap-
proximately 40 degrees through
out the concrete, which. because
of it's great mass, must be arti-
ficially cooled if it ever is to
harden. In places the freshly
poured concrete reachs q tenn
perature of 1875 degrees Fahren-
heit.
The cooling also is being done
now so that cracks which may
appear in the concrete will up.
These are filled as rapidly as de-
tected. "A series of electric Their.
mometers has been placed
throughout the concrete, so that
accurate check may be kept OF
the cooling process.
A majority of the more than
1000 men now employed in con-
nection with the. project are busy
with the pouring. spreading. cool
ing and settling of the concrete.
Huge buckets, holding more
than II tons Of mixed concrete,
are swung over the structure
from overhead cable cars. By
careful timing the buckets are
carried to their approximate
dumping position. There the
crane cars stop on the cable, and
the heavy buckets swing forward
from the momentum already
gained. Then the operator runs
the cable car forward, so that it
reaches point directly over the
