TEA co LAUDS
 NEWSPAPER ADS
Salada Firm of Boston Claims Much of Its Suc-
 cess Due to DailieS

Ever since the Salada Tea Com pany was organized, in 1892, news- paper advertising has been, the backbone of the company's sales plan.
 During It's 43 years of news paper advertising, the company has grown steadily to national proportions. Each year, newspa- pers have been added to Its list and through good times and bad, Salada Tea has been advertised consistently, in only a few news papers at first, then in scores, and now in hundreds.
 While newspapers have been used almost cxclusively-the Sala- da Tea Company has always kept an open mind to other forms of advertising. From time to time, test campaigns have been con ducted ih other mediums. The re- suits obtained from these many tests have indicated that ncwspa- per advertising works best for Salada Tea.
 Newspapers, from the big met ropolitan dailies to the small coun- try weeklies, afford a great mar ket-place for quality merchandise. No other medium provides such wide and thorough distribution. So complete is the coverage of every community that 1t would be diff cult to find a place in the United States which is away from news paper influence.
 Newspaper coverage is so com plete because everybody is inter- ested in the news, and the news paper is the only, medium that carries all the news. Even those who read little will scan the pages of the newspaper and are infiu- 'enced by the advertising seen there.
 Salada Tea Company has always believed that advertising, whether newspaper advertising or some other form, Is not something to be afforded. It is a method of buying business just as the opera ton of sales force Is a method of buying business.
 Salada Tea Company credits much of its great success to its consistent newspaper advertising. This policy coupled with the un- varying high quality of Salada Tea and its unconditional guarantee to retailers, and con- sumers alike Is responsible for the enviable position in the tea trade of America.

DAM DWARFS GIANTS!
Men Only Scurrying Ants to BehOlder
 At Canyon Lip

systematic handling of myriad dee taiIs--but you should study the system at Boulder Dam!
 Remember. also, that the great Egyptian pyramid, heretofore a criterion for engineering achieve ment, required 100000 slaves working 20 years.
 MIRACLE OF STRENGTH
 The 4OOO workmen in Black Canyon have built a dam 766 feet high, which is about equal to the Woolworth Building in New York, and which is by far the largest dam in all the world.
 At the bottom it Is thicker than two city blocks; It's length on top, where you soon will drive your car, is nearly four blocks. And three years haven't passed since the first shovel of earth was turned.
 But that's just one item, the pLOHCIs oELOAC ~ SCAA0 " started, the human ants had iit- orally to make their holes under ground. The workers dug four tunnels 56 feet !n diameter through solid rock for a combined distance of three miles.
 A gigantic coffer dam then Gi- verted the roaring Colorado out of its normal bed into the tunnels, leaving the actual dam site dry.
 When father was boy, those tunnels alone would have defird the best brains of engineers. WATER STORED NOW
 First water in the lake Is being stored now. Eventually the wa ter will form the biggest artificial like in the world. About 30,000,- 900 acre feet, if you like statistics. Or-if you dOn't-about 5000 gal- Ions for every human on earth.
 Soon the greatest aqueduct of which the world ever dreamed will be carrying some of this wa ter up and down and through mountains and plains to Los An- geles there to answer crying human need.
 Power houses and transmission lines will be operating by Septem- Der. Ultimately they will deliver three times the power that any other project has or contemplates, bringing inexpensive comfort and happiness to millions of Ameri- cans.
 Thus Is Boulder Dam great--a colossal physical achievement, built by about 400O men in total of four or five years, for the ad- vancement of human kind.
 The old Egyptian pyramid was nothing but tombstone, to salve
 -swr%e
 NEXT: The machines that built the dam. An engineers paradise where things that 'can't be donc' are easy to do. The engineering mircale of the ages.

NEW COURT URGED FOR FAMILY CASES
Republican Women Hear Mrs Roth of New Haven
 Explain Procedure

Formation of a domestic rela- tions court in this city was urged last night by Mrs Frances Roth of New Haven in an address last night before the members of the Water bury Women's Republican club. The meeting was held at the Wom- ems club on Central avenue with Mrs Florence Bonney Webster pre- siding. Mrs Roth presides at the domestic relations court in New Haven and declared last night that similar courts should be set up here and elsewhere in Connecticut. She told her audience how her court functions and pointed out the special advantages of a special family court to handle women's and children's cases particularly.
 Such courts need not be criminal tribunals, she explained. adding that nine out of ten cases in the Elm City domestic relations court are not criminal but merely involve family scraps and also illness.
 Praise for the activity being shown by the local Women's Re- publican club was expressed by Mrs Roth. A county organization is to be organized May 18th at a meeting in Milford, she announced. Following Mrs Roth's talk a card party was enjoyed and refresh ments were served.

 most fascinating in the history of all nlan.inade wonders. Here is the second of the series of six stories which tell of the motives. methods, machines, men, and materials which made the engIncerings "nlir- acle" possible.
 BY OREN ARNOLD Democrat NEA Service Special Correspondent lDOULDER CITY, New, ID April 9-You see Boul- der Dam for the first i'm e from a rocky edge perhaps 1000 feet above the bed of the Colorado-you just hang on a railing while the wind flaps your coat, and you stare down with your mouth open.
 You hear a muffled roar from the depths of the can- yon.
 Then, suddenly, 1t dawns on you that the massive dam is covered with ants! As your eyes focus, 1t comes alive. Specks, crawling to and fro about the structure, on scaffoling, on the great U-shaped powerhouse, on wires" that stretch everywhere. even on the very wells of the canyon.
 You shrink inwardly. and ex- claim something under your breath Ants! But even then you have no adequate conception of Boulder Dams unprecedented size.
 No better proof has ever been shown that men are like ants-that enough men with enough time and enough organization can do "any- thing"
 One man is infinitesimal here. Yet Man Power in a geieric sense Is quickly evident, indeed is im- pressive in its limitless strength and ability. Not since the great pyramid of Egypt was built has man power been so pretentiously used on an engineering project. HELPED BY DEPRESSION
 The engineers in charge will tell you that--strangely-the de- pression has been responsible for pushing work on Boulder Dam almost three years ahead of schedule. That is because the, construction firm, Six Companies, Inc, was able to hire twice the number of workmen it had antlci- pated, at a wage fair to all. Four thousand ants can built an ant hill in about half the time required by 2000 ants.
 But that move redoubled the de- mand for organization genius, too. Rtngling's circus is famous for its
