that all parts of the dam can be
inspected. Every now and then
you will find a niche in the cor
rldor wall, with maybe an electric
pump there, or a big drum to
raise and dover the flood gates,
or sWitchboard-looking things
which you can plug into with
earphoneS and tell, by electrical
impulses, just how the cement is
behaving in any part of the dam.
1t was cold and raw the day I
saw Norris Dam. But inside the
dam, it was warm and snug.
That's because the vast pile of
cement, bearing down on itself,
generates heat.
BUILDING Norris Dam has
- been pretty easy, as dam
building goes. They found that
the hill that forms the high bank
of the river was solid rock inside.
So they just quarried out this
hill, crushed the stone up fine,
ran it over the dam on an endless
belt, mixed it with cement, and
dropped it in. 1t was simply NOV
ing the bill over into the river.
Norris has cost only six lives,
four on the dam and two in the
quarry. Probably the creates.
safety precautions ever taken on
a dam were made at Norris.
They feel, of course, that even
one death is too many. But when
they get to feeling too bad about
the six, they think of the 81 who
died on Wilson Dam at Muscle
Shoals, and the more than 100
at Boulder.

XTHENEVER you feel liStless and tired, your body
w hasn't enough carbohydrate stored in it to
keep it functionng properly. At the same time an
insufficient amount of this important food element
results in a tendency to acid condition.
Carbohydrates stored in the liver and in the
muscles. AS the blood flows through these parts of
the body it picks up the carbohydrate stored there
so that the sugar content in the blood remains at
normal level.
Furthermore, the sugar stored in the muscles is
reserved for of these organs in their activities
When you go severe reducing diet, and take an
insufficient amount Of carbohydrate, you may so de-

pines that, in themselves, are in
consequential. Such a practice Is
unworthy Of us. We are called upon,
If we would use the season profitably,
to suspend indulgences and practices
that are solely designed to satisfy our
physical desires. A consistently OBJ
served Lent, or indeed any other like
period when we give ourselves to more
reflection and contemplation Of the
true meaning of life, means to re-
spond to that word spoken by one
of old: BE still, and know that I
am God" 1t is demonStrably true
that no fine intellectual or spiritual
development grows out OF periods OF
intense physical action. The artist.
the poet and the writer require long
periods of detachment Silence and
repressed physical activity do not
imply Incidence or lethargy. The very
tenseness and exactions Of our modern
life make the appeal Of Lent more
compelling today than hitherto, and
justify its observance.
In the short narrative Of the life
of the great Master we are told that
before He entered upon His active
ministry He sought through a long
period the silences, and during
the days Of His intense action
He retired repeatedly for protracted
periods Of contemplation that He
might the better prepare Himself for
His arduous and exacting service.
While Lent has been observed
through long centuries by certain
churches its appeal has more and
more been responded to by churches
of every name. This, doubtless, is due
to the practical value to which such
a season witnesses. For the sake OF
physical refreshment and in the in
terests Of repoSe of mind and clarity
of vision. we urge the observance
of this season at a time when we
need the best that is in us to meet the
stern problems of our modern world.
We shall secure more Of physical fit
ness and mental alertneSs If We give
our souls chance to grow; If we
make prayer, worship and quiet re-
Election a daily practice we shall
come to the end of this season and
to our Easter with the quickened
sense Of a nature that has been reborn
and rendered capable Of understand
ing the mighty resurrection message.

Italy Experimenting
in Abyssinian Issue
BY A. G. GARDINER.

LONDON, March 1.-THE cloud
over Abyssinia is disturbing the more
cheerful temper which recent events
in the Saar and Yugoslavia had shed
over Geneva and the League Of Ma
lions.
1t is extravagant to suggest, as some
critics of Mussolini do, that we are
witnessing the opening stages Of
another piratical adventure compare
BILE with that of Japan in Manchuria
in 1881. Yet it is true that Italy,s
attitude toward the League has never
erred on the side of enthusiasm and
that Mussolini's dreams of imperialist
expansion in Africa, together with
his periodical explosions of almost
fanatical militarism, are not calcu-
lated to create confidence In his pa
cific intentions.
Nor is the apparent failure of the
direct negotiations at Adds Ababa,
which the League suggested, other
than gravely disquieting. It was hoped
that as a result Of those negotiations
Abyssinias appeal for the interven-
ton of the League, under Article XI
Of the covenant, could be withdrawn.
Instead, the situation has been seri-
ously aggravated. There has been

has given so much enjoyment.

of experts, would have attained out

Dificult as 1t may be to express
what we mean by the soul, we have
abundant evidence there Is some
thing in our nature that we cannot
define as physical, that demands salts
faction. We speak Of Serenity Of
the mind" and by 1t we mean that
poise and quiet that is indispensable
to clear thinking. Men the world
over have discussed life in terms Of
body, mind and spirit" We are
clear as to our physical demands and
we readily meet them. We are like
wise clear concerning the require
ments of the intellectual, the de-
velopment and cultivation of the
mind. To think Of life only in terms
of physical and mental Is to leave
our natures unsatisfied and impover-
ished.
Long ago the great philosopher,
Socrates, said: 1T do nothing but
20 about persuading you all, old and
Young alike, not to take thought for
your persons, or your properties, but
first and chiefly to care about the
greatest improvement Of the soul"
It is an admonition that Is too lightly
esteemed and practiced. The recent
years have found US SO much absorbed
In endeavoring to recover our material
well being; the pressure of life has
been so persistent, that less heed
has been given to the high claims
of the soul than in other and more
normal days.
A high-visioned Scotchman has
said that, apart from any questions
of church dogma or of future life,
no human pursuit. no hunt for wealth,
fame or pleasure, Is comparable in
interest or in value with the growing
of a soul" II the concerns of the
physical and mental require definite,
prescribed and unvarying course, then
with like assurance we may affirm
that the spiritual in us demands like
consideration.
All this is pertinent to that which
the season Of Lent Is designed to pro-
mote. The consistent reason for such
a protracted period of quiet, refiec-
ton and worship is to give us fresh
opportunity for rightly appraising and
answering the demands of the soul.
A cheap and improbable way Of OBJ
serving Lent Is TO impose upon our
selves certain privationS and disci-

Mr.. Macdonald Sits Tight.

For some time past hints, only more
or less gentle, have been reaching
Ramsay Macdonald that he has out
lived his usefulness as British prime
minister and that he would do well to
decamp as gracefully as possible from
No. 10 Downing street. He has been
publicly derided as a Tory puppet and
lmpotent fgurehead in a government
really ruled by Stanley Baldwin and
the Conservatives, who overflow the
House Of Commons. In Parliament
the Sage of Lossiemouth has been de-
nounced from the decimated Labor
benches as a traitor and a SWINE"
On the hastings, in his own con-
stituency, he has been contemptuously
jeered.

in Yorkshire, Mr.. Macdonald seized

would like him to be ousted from the

was given that although the division
would be close on the prevailing
wage" amendment, 1t would be a
White House victory. Confident Of
his position. the President dispatched
an assuring note to the Senate. He
was beaten.
Mr.. Roosevelt had come to feel that
nearly all the members Of Congress,
including many Of the Republican in
surgents, were his friends. He de-
pended on the telephone and a few
words Of encouragement and advice
to keep them in line. Assuring COM
ment from the President brought
agreement with most Of the things
that he said, because few persons can
deny his winning way.
Yet that method now has failed to
function. Men in his own party,
whose allegiance he depended upon,
broke with Mr. Roosevelt on the work
relief plan. which is the center Of his
1885 recovery program.
Some Of the Senators say the Presi-
dent has been trying to please every
ing decisions on q few very funda-
mental issues in order to keep his
congressional lines intact. Rather
than steer the New Deal in any one
consistent direction. Mr.. Roosevelt has
turned 1t first to the right and then
to the left, endeavoring to maintain
a middle course.
Now the signs seem to suggest that,
instead Of pleasing both sides by
these maneuvers, he may ALLEVIATE
each Of them. Politicians are direct
ing attention to the possibility OF
the President maneuvering himself
into a position where he has few
friends either in the camp of the
conservatives or Of the radicals.
Recently the radicals, both in Con-
gress and in the New Deal. definitely
have lost enthusiasm. Several OF
them were bounced out of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration.
Those in other departments have seen
their ideas sidetracked.
In Congress the radical group is
openly suspicious of Mr.. Roosevelt
and is preparing to cause him trouble,
regardless of any expressions Of agree
ment and cooperation that they may
have made at the White House.
Yet conservatives, both in the execu-
tive departments and In Congress, are
wary. They are not pleased with
many phases of the New Deal pro-
gram in spite Of the Presidents swing
in their direction Of late.
Now the question is:
Can President Roosevelt crack the
whip and herd his forces back into
line, so that once more he can COM
mand strong control over the Govern
ment?
Or is the split in New Deal ranks,
now so evident, to grow wider and
result in a general political realign-
ment?
The answer may depend on whether
.Mr. Roosevelt is ready to make up
his mind on major questions of policy
which have not yet been faced. Sooner
or later he must decide-so his friends
here are saying-whether the coun-
try is to move over into some form
of State socialism or whether 1t is
going to make capitalism work.
If the latter is the decision, as most
people here are sure it will be, then
the comment is that the President
must stabilize money, balance the
budget, adjust tariffs, debate some
wages and capital structures, and
make other adjustments which may
be unpopular with voters but which
are needed II the old machine Is to
get back to work.

Accumulation of School Needs.

The United States Commissioner of
Education. John w. Studebaker, has
prepared for the Public Works Ad-
nninistration a list of school building
and playground needs for the coun-
try representing the results of the de-
preston. The total cost of meeting
such needs is estimated at eight and
a half billion dollars, almost twice the
sum that would be made available
for work relief on projects of all sorts
under the bill now tied up in the
Senate. With the list is forwarded the
interesting statement that more than
half the schools constructed in 1884
were financed with P. w. A. funds, and
that from 1880 to 1888 school con-
struction dropped 70 per cent.
Included in list of approximately
10000 new construction projects
needed now to house pupils in those
areas where facilities are lacking are
twenty-five for the District of Column
bia. These projects are presumably
taken from the list prepared by the
Board Of Education for the Commits
sioners' study in connection with 1886
estimates. The board itemized twenty
eight projects, costing about $3,000,-
900. One new elementary school was
asked, one new vocational school, and
there were listed as advisable plans
and specifications for two new senior
high schools. The other projects were
for charging or completing existing
schools and for the purchase Of land.
The 1885 bill as passed by the House
provides for only four school building
projects-these being additions to
existing schools or completion of
schools already authorized. In each
case the amounts requested by the
Board of Education were sharply
reduced. No new sites were authorized
and no new plans for future buildings.
washington has been more for
tunate during the depression, as far
as its schools are concerned, than
many other communities. But with
an increasing school population, the
danger now confronting the system
AS far as facilities are concerned
is the accumulation of unmet needs
o few years hence. There Is already a
large accumulation. Between 1925 and
this year twenty-five new elementary
schools were constructed. But the
schools were Just beginning to over
come the results Of the great conges-
ton caused by World War conditions
when the depression began to make
itself felt. School buildings are not
erected in a year. Many years elapse
between the authorization of site pur-
chase and the completion of a build.
ing. But instead of following some
consistent program of looking ahead
to the future, when new facilities must
be provided, the present policy fails
to take account of anything beyond
the immediate present. And even the
needs Of the immediate present, as
evidenced by the failure of the School
Boards estimates to receive approval,
are sorely neglected.
