weather will permit this spring.
Plans are being made for the
commencement of the work of plac-
ipe the glacial boulders which have
been stored in piles along the rail-
road in the vicinity of Saco, Mont.
These stones will be placed to
form an 8-foot blanket-coverine
for the face of the upstream prav-
ell toe.
Samples of the hydraulic fill
placed in the dam last fall have
been taken by govern't employees
operating a core drilling outfit. A
large number of cores are taken so
that representative samples of the
material at various depths may be
secured. Many other samples are
taken in the same way, of the un-
disturbed materials in the borrow
pit areas. All of the samples are
put into glass jars as soon as they
come out of the ground & are then
sent for analysis to the Govt labor
atory at the tOwnsite.
At the laboratory the sample is
first dried in an oven The varia-
ton in the sizes of the particles is
next determined. The coarser par:
ticles are graded by shaking the
samples thru a series of sleeves. Par
ticles larger than 3::4 inch are rare;
ly found, so a series of sleeves with
squaae holes ranging from 3:4 inch
to 0.0058 inch is used. 275 billion
of them fill a cubic inch of earth
they are so tiny.
When dredging is in progress,
samples are taken daily of the eff
fluent water returning to the river
from the core pool. These samp-
les are analysed to obtain a check
on the amt of suspended material
which is carried away. Til amount
OF material deposited is controlled
by varying the height of tn wooden
discharge spillway. The longer tn
eft1uent waters are held, the more
of the suspended material will be
deposited.
1t may thus be seen that the
construction of an earth dam by
hydraulic means is accompanied by
continuous scientific control wher-
eby all materials placed in the dam
are carefully examined. !.

during the past week. There has
been some thawing the last few
days, which has made the roads
from the shovels to the disposal area
very slippery. with resultant slow

dry, crushed shale spread over the
surface and the constant use of
road graders and dozers has
enabled a large fleet of trucks to

Death Talks
By United Press

By United Press
LONDON, Nov. THE
Daily Mail today published an
interview with an anonymous
doctor who admitted he had
taken five lives for humane
reasons.
Five times I have taken
life" he said. Il have broken
the law, and under similar cir
cumstances I would do so
again.
IF need be, I am prepared to
face any tribunal in the land.
My justif1cation-not my eX-
cuse-for what I have done is
that humanity knows no law.
Il still carry with me the
memory of the cases to which
refer and of happy faces be-
fore they died. The first was
the case of a newborn child,
clearly domed to imbecility.
With the squeeze of a finger
and thumb I had taken a life.
The second was the case of
a child born without SOUL
cap.
THE other three were men
suffering from an incurable,
agonizing disease. Each died

DRYS INSPIRED
BY ELECTIONS
See Boost for Legislative
Drive in Town Vote;
Politicians Calm.

The Indiana Anti-Saloon League
and other dry organizations today,
scanning results of Tuesdays town
elections, saw encouragement for
their legislative drive to obtain a
county or township liquor option
system in Indiana.
L.. E. York, league superintendent,
claiming dry gains, termed the cleo
tions "the beginning of a general
attack on the liquor traffic through
out the state"
His organization, he said, had
urged dry organizations in every
community to make an effort to
elect town trustees opposed TO le-
galization Of hard drink by ordi-
nance, which is provided in the
liquor control law for towns and
cities under 5000 population.
Hail Hope Victory
One of the town elections in
terpreted as an outstanding dry vic
tory was at Hope in Bartholomew
County. There Republicans gained
a clean sweep of all offices. The in
cumbent Democratic trustees had
approved blythe drink liquor.
Mr., York declared schools,

GOLFERS REASSURED
ON BOULEVARD PLAN
Park Board Says Work
Won't Affect Course.

The Park Board today told a
group of Pleasant Run golfers that
new plans for the extension of
Pleasant Run-blvd are being drawn
which will not interfere seriously
with the course.
Golfers told the board that pub
lished plans would damage holes
8, 9. 10, II and 13.
The board also announced it has
made land deal with the Holy
Cross Cemetery to facilitate the ex-
tension of the boulevard from S.
Meridian-st to Bluff-rd.
The board refused to run the
South Grove golf clubhouse as a
community house this year, saying
it would cost too much, and it set
aside $1,000 for materials for Works
Progress Administration workers to
build the Riverside Park shelter
house into clubhouse.
When the board told the Indian
apolis Railways it would have to
keep streets in repair if it extended
its bus service to accommodate resi-
dents of Rocky Ripple, the company
withdrew d petition asking permits

RAIN TO ACCOMPANY
NORMAL WEATHER
Rising Temperature Expect
ed for Next Two DAYS.

The weather is to proceed along
more normal lines for the next two
days. the weather bureau predicted
today. A light rain is expected to-
night with slightly rising tempera-
ture, and partly cloudy weather is
expected tomorrow with tempera-
lures dropping.
For this time of the year the
temperatures are about normal, and
the rain, augmenting the heavier
fall of early this week, will do no
damage.
Pastures and winter wheat are the
only possible agricultural bene-
ficiaries of the rain, but the weather
bureau says the earlier fall was
adequate and this will have no spe-
cial effect.
