Supreme Court Ruling
Peril to Boulder Dam

The Boulder Dam Canyon prof
ect was imperiled yesterday by a
Supreme Court decision denying
a Government Injunction to pro-
hibit the State Of Arizona from
interfering with construction Of
Parker Dam.
By a unanimous opinion, the
court held the Parker Dam had
not been ordered by Congress or
approved by Army officers as re-
CURED by law.
Arizona termed the Parker
Dam project an invasion" Of her
lands by the Federal Government.
The decision in effect upholds
this contention.

BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH

Gambling with finess1, or az

ing the price of the white metal,
the Treasury for several days has
permitted the price to remain
at 77.57 cents an ocnce.
After a conference with Roberto
Lopez, financial adviser to the
Mexican government, Secretary
Morgenthau said late yesterday
there would be mo announce
ment tonight" as to the price Of
silver. That meant for at least
until tonight the silver price would
remain at IT'S cents.
Declines to Give Tip
The dizzy rise in silver led some
experts to believe that other mar
ketS had been somewhat alarmed
and were not in a position to i'm
mediately adjust themselves, with
the result that silver information
ally had been badly upset.
Commenting on the Lopez talk,
Mr.. Morgenthau refused to go
farther than to say that it had
been mutually satisfactory. Mr..
Morgenthau is not believed to have
agreed to divulge the Treasury's
future plans for trading in silver.
Frequently he has made it clear
that the Government does not
care to "tip" it's hand and will
give no hint as to the operations
Of the sterilization fund which

Shrewd Gamble
In this respect the Treasury is
playing a shrewd gamble, keeping
the world guessing, and from time
to time taking a profit in its
transactions.
Whether the so-called silver
Senators in Congress will continue
to demand a further increase in
silver prices was doubted in some
quarters. The price already has
been increased greatly. The Treas
ury is in a position to raise the
level to $1.29 an ounce under

Standing room was at a pre-.
MUM last night at the Washing
ton PianistS' Club first recital at
the Calvary Methodist Episcopal
Church by Ann Sugar and Leah
Effenbach. This recital opened
the twelfth annual festival of
piano music in which representa-.
tive pupils Of leading teachers are
presented.
Although Ann Sugar is only is
years old, she has appeared as
soloist with the National Sym.
phony Orchestra in 1882, being
presented by Felian Garzia, who
presided at the second piano last
night in the Saint-Saens concerto.
Each successive appearance OF
Ann Sugar show steady signs Of i'm
provement which at maturity will
doubtless place her in a high ar
tiStic class. Her program was
carefully worked out and played
with q technique that was quite
faultless, but the warmth of feel
ing and expression will grow with
age and experience.
Leah Efenbach, first presented
by the late Arthur D. Mayo, was
presented last night by Alexander
Sklarevski, Of Peabody Conserva-
tory, Baltimore. Miss Effenbach
is studying under the Tiffany
Piano Scholarship and is now end
ing her third year at Peabody,
where she has appeared as soloist
with the Peabody Symphony Or
cheStra.
Her program was of a more
pretentious nature than the pre-.
ceding recital and was played
with a mature understanding of
tonal color and expression. While
playing an instrument that is in
the final analysis a percussion
instrument, she managed to pro-
duce sustained tones in high pas
sages that gave distinct flute
like effect.
The Chopin numbers gave ample
opportunity for displaying a de-
lightful variety in moods and the
heavy passages of the List con-
certo were played with a firm
ness of touch that bespoke well
developed finger muscles.
The Piano Festival will con-
tinue tonight at 800 o'clock in
the Calvary Methodist Episcopal
Church with recitals by Elizabeth
Rankin King and Helene Finna-
com. Miss King is presented by
Fanny Amstutz Roberts, while
Miss Finnacom is presented by
LaSalle Spier.
Miss Kings program follows:
Little Organ Fugue in G Minor"
(Bach-Samaroff); Sonata, Opus
10, No. g." (Beethoven); "Ballade,
D minor" (Brahms); "Pastorale, "
(Dohnany); "Tarantelle, A flat

psychology Of shorts.
Men should have learned,
long ago, that they can't stop
women from doing things to
make themselves look foolish.
Before they have managed to

atrocity, the women have dis

Every woman has two good
reasons for not wearing shorts.
No, I don't mean what YOU
mean. One reason is that they
are the most uncomfortable
garment ever chilly

weathers.
And the second reason is that
the human thigh is just about
the ugliest and most unalluring
member of the human body. The
only really alluring thigh is that

with mint sauce.
Even a man in long-shortS is

Chancellor Kent.
In Rabbi Edward N. Calisch,
of Richmond, Va. the American
system of Public School educa-
ton has found a champion
worthy of the cause.
Speaking recently at the In
Stitute of Public Affairs, which
is meeting on the campus Of
the University of Virginia, this
distinguished divine discussed
the relation of Church and
State in education with a clar.
ity, sincerity, moderation and
forthrightneSS that would have
delighted the heart of Thomas
jefferson.
Subscribing Fundamentally
to the insistence of the Found
erS and Fathers of the Amer
lean Nation upon the absolute
separation of Church and State,
Rabbi Calisch declared that
Judaism believes that in the
public school system lies the
strength of the Republic and
the building of its democracy"
Nothing, he said, should be per.
mitted to contravene this prin-
ciple or weaken the influence
of the doctrine that under the
American system of govern
ment Church and State are for
ever separate.
COTTON AND SILK
In the spirit of a true disciple
Of Thomas jefferson, this de-
fender of the American system
of Public Education paid this
eloquent tribute to the Public
School as the builder of citizen
ship, which loyal American
teachers will welcome the OPP
portunity to read to their classes
when the schools reopen:
"The public schools are the
great unifierS of the various
racial, national, cultural and
linguaI elements in the land.
They are the nursery Of de-
mOcracy, the training schools
wherein the democratic spirit
of American institutions, and
the broad basis of the civic
equality upon which our Gov
eminent rests, are instilled into
the minds and hearts of the
children.
TN later life distinctions are
made. In the professions, in
industry, at the ballot box, at
the bar of justice, in the church,
in social reIatiOnS-wealth plays
a dominant role, CULTS are
drawn between men, and class
demarcatiOnS come into exist
ence. But in the public schools
the lines are not yet drawn.

from the American point Of
view.
He quoted from an address

praise of the public school sys-

1t seems most appropriate
that this defense should have
been delivered on the campus

is, to a large window-display Of
the full-length feminine leg.
And I have found, by the Helen
Rowland method deduction,
that it is of three varieties.
To one type of man, any
woman in shorts is a joke. Like
a cartoon or comic strip, she
is just "funny"-and the fatter
the funnier. If she's his own
wife, he closes his eyes and
chuckles. If she isn't, he merely
chuckles.
Another sort of man may find
the frank revelations of the I'M

triguing, but scarcely ravishing.
His emotional reaction could
never for a moment be mistaken
for romance or even for admlra-
