ankle. This was a distressing in
jury for an active lady of the
stage. It happened in the library
Of her own home, when, after a
prolonged session with a favorite
book, she arose to go to bed and
her sound asleep foot collapsed
and caused the fall.
It was March Is, just two days
before she was scheduled to go
on the air with Ben Bernie in a
radio broadcast over a national
network. Applying the tradition
of the stage to radio, that the show
must go on, Miss Barrymore
was wheeled to the studio and
clowned and kidded with Bernie
and all the lads, wound up by
playing Rhythm of the Rain
Drops as a piano solo. To an

O'Sullivan Hits
Coulee Dam Critic
Says Project Not Inconsistent With
Federal Crop Control
Program

SPOKANE, October IA. (SpeciaD
1.-THE recent statement of Con-
gresham Roy o. Woodruff of Bay
City, Michigan, that the construc-
ton of the Grand Coulee dam is
inconsistent with the Administra-
items program of reducing the acre
age in crops and that the products
of the Columbia Basin farms will
compete with those in Michigan
and other states, can not he sus-
tained," said James O'Sullivan, Sec
rotary of the Columbia Basin Com
mission of the State of washington,
in an interview here today.
"The crop reduction program was
devised primarily to meet a great
emergency and must necessarily be
modified as prosperity returns and
as agricultural products are impor-
ted in increasing quantities. Fur
thermore, the reclamation OF the
Columbia Basin lands will require a
period of from 35 to 40 years after
the Grand Coulee dam is completed
in 1912. The economics of the pro-
iect, which require the payment OF
one-half the cost of reclamation out
of power revenues, compel the slow
orderly development of the lands in
small units, in order that the power
plant will not be overburdened.
"When these lands are reclaimed"
said Mr.. O'Sullivan, their products
will not compete with those OF the
farms in Michigan and other states.
For every acre irrigated there will
be ten acres of marginal land IN
the West withdrawn from cult1va-
ton. The Columbia Basin lands
will best produce the staple feed and
food supplies required by the fast
growing population of the eleven
far-western states. Even today, the
Pacific Coast states are importing
large quantities of corn and pork.
The new population resulting from
development of the project will nat
urally furnish home market for
much of the fruit and wheat raised
in the Pacific Northwest and thus
withdraw part of these commod1-
ties from competition in eastern
markets.
"The project, when completed,
will furnish d large market Tor
foodstuffs that can he produced bet.
ter in other sections of the United
States, and vast market for the
products of eastern factories. Pros
perity for eastern factories means
prosperity for eastern farmers. New
population resulting from project
development will consume annually
about 100000 carloads of agricultur-
al and manufactured articles pro-
duced throughout the United States.
In 1929, the new population result
ing from the irrigation OF 100000

The other major hunting season
