year LOT Ine nrSC Jnree weeks OF these
outdoor concerts. His dynamic per-
sonality and original viewpoint are still
more evident in the role of conduc-
tor than in that of pianist, great as
is his renown in that field Iturbi has
definite ideas about interpretation the
outcome undoubtedly of his striving
for tonal color in his solo work. One
can imagine, after becoming ac-
ouainted with his individual type of
Interpretation, that the orchestral
score has a clearer meaning for him,
carrying definitely the complement of
his solo idea. He demonstrated this
last Summer when he took the dual
part of director and soloiSt, conduct
ing from the keyboard when not play
ing.
For his Wednesdays program he
will open with SouSa'S The Stars and
Stripes Forever" and close with Jean
WienerS Jazz Concerto" playing the
piano part himself. Two other num-
bers. but little known to the general
public, by American composers, are
Deems Taylor's Circus Day" and
Robert Russell Benefits Concerto
Crosse" Mr.. Taylor has chosen a
subject particularly dear to every
American, and the eight movements
have the alluring titles of Street Pa
rade,' The Big Top" Bareback
Riders" ta) The Lions Cage" (b)
The Dog and Monkey Circus and
Co The Waiting Elephants; THE
Tight-rope Walker "Jugglers, -
Clowns" and Finale"
The subtitle of Mr.. Benefits work
is Sketches From an American Thea
ter, and the five movements bear
names that were evidently given In
ridicule of the accepted outline of our
faVorlte comic operas. The first move
ment, "Praeludium," portrays the
Opening Chorus and many dance
moments. The second is Dialogue
lngenue and Juvenile followed by
the Theme Song" which Mr.. Ben
nett describes as verse, refrain and
verse. Simply too sweet for words. &"
The fourth movement is Comedy
Scene and Blackout," with Finale
With Flags" Both Mr.. Taylor and
Mr.. Bennett are following the tradi-
ton OF basing national music on
the outstanding influences, of a ma
tional life.
The series of concerts organized by
Nikolai Sokoloff last Summer at
Music Hill, Weston, Conn, will be
continued for six weeks this year.
There will be two all-Wagner and
two all-Russian programs, with one
devoted exclusively to the music of
Tschaikowsky. The Robin Hood Dell
concerts in Philadelphia will include
more extensive operatic program
than last season and outdoor opera
will be the feature at Asbury Park
and Atlantic City.
The popularity OF concerts and
opera in the open air is growing and
the reaction on the Winter musical
season will be more noticeable from
the Summer education given in this
easy and delightful manner. The
Sylvan Theater concerts will aid in
the building up of musical apprecia-
ton in this city and every one should
cooperate with those who first fos-
tered the idea to help in its develop
ment,

Under this East Mesa is practic-
ally inexhaustible supply of water of
excellent quality. This has been am
ply demonstrated by the existence
CT several wells which have been
drilled on it and which have been
producing for several years past.
In past ages, when the delta of the
Colorado was being formed, the ri
yer met tidewater at, or in the vi
cinity of Yuma. At that time, the
canyons were in process of erosion
and the river must have been a
rushing torrent, rolling large bould-
ers and gravel along its bed. When
it met tideWater, the heaviest Of
such boulders were dropped and the
lighter gravels were carried CORES
pondingly further out into the pre-
sent delta. Thus we have today a
gravel fan, or cone, the extent OF
which has been very closely defined
by the numerous wells, which, from
time to time, have been drilled
through it. OF these wells, four are
each producing in excess of IL sec
feet, or practically 5000 gallons
per minute, while as might be ex-
pected, those sunk nearer to the
outside perimeter of the fan yield
correspondence less. 1t is purely
matter of conjecture as to the guam
tity of water stored in these gravels,
but since the radius of the fan is
approximately SO miles in length
and it's area approXimateS a quad
rant with such radius, it would not
seem fantastic to say that, were 1T
to receive no replenishment for the
next 10 years, it would still yield a
bountiful supply. 1t is, however, be-
ing perpetually repleniShed by the
underfloW of the Colorado River.
BY reason of the many wells he has
drilled through this fan, Mr.. Roscoe
Moss, of Los Angeles, president OF
the company of that name, is pro-
baby the best informed man as to
its NEUROLOGY and we have written
offer from him to drill wells, guar
anteeing their production both as
to quantity and quality, specifying
further that, in the event of his
failure TO meet both requirements,
he is to receive no pay for his ef-
forts. We may, therefore, feel sure
that there are no physical objections
to the project.
Economically, the project is equal
ly sound. In the APPLICATION now be-
fore the PWA, the estimate of cost

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 25. -
Almost two-thirds of the United
States today entered another day of
torture.
Little relief was promised from an
unprecedented 14-day drought and
heat wave that has caused more
than 500 deaths, cost millions, and
interfered with the lives of thous-
ands.
The heat area extended from Wy
oming and New Mexico east to the
Alleghenies, taking in the south
west and a great part of the south.
Temperatures exceeding 100 degrees
were usual.
Complicating the suffering was an
acute water shortage in parts of the
middle west and the southwest from
long drought that has reduced
thousands of acres of otherwise fer
tile farm acres to desert-like stretch
eS.
A United Press tabulation of
deaths stood at 513 today, and was
increasing almost hourly as addi-
tional victims died in hospitals in
St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City and
smaller places.

CLAIMS BYRD
FACES DANGER

HOLLYWOOD, July Is. U,P -
Admiral Byrd has one chance in a
hundred of being rescued alive from
his snow smothered hut 1913 miles
from Little America, Byron Gay,
Hollywood song writer who went
with Byrd into the Antarctic, pre-
dicted today.
His chance Of rescue is remote,
GAY said. 1T is the middle of a
long night down there. His only
chance would be through the use
of an airplane in the pale light OF a
full moon which comes only for a
few hours. Even then, chances for
safe landing would be desperate
II dc not know why Byrd has ask
ed for aid, but I know he would not
have suggested that his men take
the terrific chance of that journey
unless his needs were acute
Gay is the second former aid OF
Byrd to express fears for his safety
Capt William F. Verleger of the
Jacob Ruppert, Byrd supply ship,
expressed a similar fear when ne
arrived enroute to Connecticut.

Dear Sir:
Due to the fact that no recent
publicity has been given the I'M
perial Inter-C Cities Water Project, it
is not strange that several miscon-
ceptionS exist in the minds of many
of our valley people as to just what
it is hoped to accomplish and what
benefits will follow the consumma-
tion of the project.
In an effort to make the matter
clear to all interested, the writer
submits the following:
Stated briefly, the plan contem-
plates the sinking of one or more
wells on the East Mesa close to the
present paved highway to Yuma and
in the vicinity of Gray's and Cor
don wells and carrying the water
derived from such we'll or wells
through a closed gunite conduit to
point near the Ten Foot Drop,
three miles northeast from Calex-
leo, where a branch conduit will be
taken off to supply the towns of
Calexico and Mexicali, while the

Eight accredited veterinarians Will
arrive here Monday to aid in the
bovine tuberculosis eradication pro-
gram now being carried out in the
county, according to a letter re-
ceived by B. A. Harrigan, county
agricultural commissioner from w.
E. Howe, state agent of the fed
eral bureau of animal industry.
Five of these men will be from
the federal bureau of animal in
dustry, u. S. department of agri-
culture, the other three from the
state bureau.
Ever since the inception of the
eradication work here several weeks
ago there has been an urgent need
of extra veterinarians to assist in
this program, County officials have
impressed this necessity on both
federal and state Officers in Sac
ramento with the result that the
extra men were obtained and will
be here the first of next week.

HEAVY SEAS BANG AT PRESIDENT
Forced To Stand By In Skiff After Fishing
Trip Until Calm Comes

He had three strikes but made no
catch. Although a squall threatened,
the President refused to give up
fishing before Sundown.
The squan struck before he was
finished, forced the skiff to run out
to sea to avoid the lashing waves.
When the party returned to the
Houston, the heavy swell was beat
ing against the sides of the cruiser,
The skiff drew near the flagship
and bumped against its Sides Naval
officers advised the Presient not to
attempt to board until the Swells
subsidized.
The skiff returned to the side of
the coast guard cutter Itasca and
waited one hour and 20 minutes be-
fore the President was able to re-
board the ship which had brought
him to Hawaii for the first visit any
President has made to the mid-Pa-
cific possessions.
