! Who would care to match Louis

the cinder paths, surely none of US OF
the common herd. Who would care
I say that Louis after delivering that
Knockout punch or Owens after chalk
ing up a worlds record, were not
capable Of coming out, and with the
common lot of us decide the destinies
IOf his country.
Our horizon is hemmed in by the
hills; our knowledge cleaned from
the newspapers and lot of ballyhoo
and propaganda. Theirs come from
world wide associations with men
whose advice and wisdom clearly in
dictate the trend of the times.
Their past, political beliefs, have
nothing to do with their stand today,
anymore than it has with you that
voted for Hoover in 1923 and Roose-
welt in 1882.
Louis is new conner in the poltti-
cal ranks. Does anyone know how j.
Owens voted in 1892? We don't, nor
do we care. We are Interested only
in the fact that Joe Louis Is lending
his punch to Landon and that Jesse
Owens is coming down the stretch
carrying the Landon banner, and far
in the lead, in defiance to certain
New Deal activities that have put
such men as Louis and Owens in the
limelight a3lin fighting for higher
ideals than the ring Or cinder paths
have ever known, and incorporated
in these ideals is that one especially
which is dear to ever true American
heart, the right to Life and Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness.

 Tomorrow brings Warner Brothers sensational new picture Road Gang" a revelation of the terrible conditions existing in penal insti- tuition run by crooked officials for the graft they get out of 1t.
 It is said to carry all the dyna- mic force of T Am 8 Fugitive from 8 Chain Gang" and the rugged pie turesqueness of Black Fury" The picture is one of stark realism, set in two locales; the first the prison farm with its torture rooms, whelN human beings are subjected to me- dieval persecution with the whip ping post and barrel hangings; the second in the Blackfoot mines, where recalcitrant convicts are sent, to remain until they come out in pine box.
 Douald Woods and Carlyle Moore, Jr., have the two principal convict roles. Entirely innocent of any crime, they are framed by a crooked politician, whom Woods, a newspaper correspondent, threat ems to expose.
 The romantic angle is furnished by Kay Linaker in the leading feminine role. As the fiancee of Woods, she carries on battle for his freedom, although she nearly fails because of strike at the mines led by Woods, in which the prisoners blast their way out and are gassed with bombs.
 The companion feature will be the comedy Soak The Rich" starring Walter Connolly with Mary Taylor and John Howard also Ilka Chase, Lionel Stander and others. It's packed with laughs and presents a satiricaltirate against today's social and economic unrest.

High Waters Hold No Terrors For Dayton,
 Protected By Giant Flood Control System
1913 Disaster Moved City To Expend Millions To Avert Repetition;
 Five Dams Prove Worth
BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Stan Correspondent.

NEA service Stan COrreSpOnuents
 Dayton, O.-While inhabitants of Ohio river cities crouched behind sandbag barricades or took to the hills, Daytonians didn't have enough concern about recent flood condi- tions to call up the weather bu- reau.
 That's strange, in a city which g years ago was swept by one of the country's worst floods-a com- munity where 400 lay dead, and where $l00, 900 worth of damage was strewn in the floods wake.
 But there is good reason for this indifference. It's extremely unlike- ly that there will be any more floods in Dayton. That is because, in 1913, this community surveyed it's own wreckage and decided to do something about 1t.
 Almost before the dead were bur- jed, certainly before the wreckage was all cleared away, Daytonians had met to consider dood-preven- tion project.
 Remember the promises you made in the atticl" was the battle- cry. And the people who has just suffered 8 $100,000,000 loss did not forget. They somehow pledged $2,Oo0,000 to begin the work. PROJECT OF GREAT COST
 Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, now head of the Tennessee Valley Authority, began a survey. He saw that 1t would be necessary to dam three rivers which flow together at Day. ton, and also to widen and straight en channels and build levees. It was expensive. It cost some $30,- 100000.
 And yet, within 10 years, and without asking the federal govern ment for a cent, 1t was done. To-day Dayton is fully protected against a volume of water 40 per cent greater than that which was the highest ever known in the city.
 It was really too big 8 job for a city, so 8 state law was secured permitting organization of the Mi- ami Conservancy District, including nine counties of the Miami valley affected by flood conditions.
 This authority issued and sold about $34,000,000 worth of bonds to the public. Special taxes on prop erty in proportion to benefits ob- tained from the flood control work will have paid off all of these bonds by 1949.
 EARTH DAMS BUILT
 The job got under way. Up-river from Dayton, four "dry reservoir" dams were built. Downstream, a fifth. They rise as high as 120 feet.
 Study convinced engineers that these long earth entertainments, re- taining no water behind them ex- cept in emergencies, were the thing for the Miami. The value of land behind them for cultiva- ton was regarded as higher than the value of any water power that might be produced by damming up permanent lakes.
 Four railroad lines, several tel ephone and telegraph lines, an in-
