BOULDER CITY, Nev., March II Engineering skill and 4,364,90a cubic yards of concrete have harn- essed the rebeliious Colorado River and given the world it's tallest dam.
 Completion of giant Boulder dam more than two years before the construction deadline, and it's ac- ceptance by the Federal Govern ment ends an American epic su- preme. in it's immensity and TO- nance of execution.
 Almost 400 years after Hernando de Alarcon, acting under Coron- ado's orders, discovered and ex plored the lower Colorado River, American ingenuity is credited with making the rich lands of the Inn perial Valley safe for future gen. erations.
 Located about 25 miles southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the upper Black Canyon, Boulder dam is 727 feet high and by far the tallest dam in the world. The famous Sautet dam in France rises only 446 feet.
 Cost SI15,OOO,OOO
 Appro ximately $115,000000 was spent in construction of Boulder dam. More than 4,364,903 square yards of concrete went into the dam and power house.
 Boulder dams mission may be summarized as follows:
 l. To provide flood control.
 ?. To furnish an adequate sup ply for irrigation and domestic use.
 3. To provide silt control.
 4. To improve navigation on the river below Black Canyon.
 5. To create a new recreational area.
 6, To permit the generation of power, the sale of which will repay s~NS NON't VI tliC PiOJtCJ.
 Boulder dam was authorized in 1928, when both Houses of Congress passed and President Coolidge sign ed the Boulder Canyon Project Act.
 Began in 1881
 Work was started March II, 1881 the first concrete was poured June 0, 1883, the storage of water com menced on February l, 1885, and the last concrete placed in the dam on May 29 of the same year.
 More than a year ago, although work was not yet completed, the gates of the diversion tunnels were closed to catch and store the flood waters in Lake Mead, behind the dam, to prevent a disastrous flood and later to prevent drought in the irrigated valleys along the lower Colorado, where crop losses in 1894 totaled sl0,0O0,O0O.
 Lake Mead, extending upstream rom Boulder for 115 miles. has a shore line of $50 miles, and a water surface area of 227 square miles It is the largest artificial body of water in the world.
 Power Is Secondary
 Although the generation of mower at Boulder dam is only incidental to the primary purposes of con- troiiing floods and storing water ouring periods of high discharge to be released during periods of low How returns from sale of pow CT are expected to repay the cost oi the project. The Federal Govern ment will not sell the power gen. efSleo at Boulder dam, but will dispose of the falling water.

CHILD EDUCATION

Prof. Charles S. Johnson, dis
tinguihed sociologist, writes an in
teresting and thought-provoking
article in the current Opportunity,
entitled "The Education of the Ne
gro Child. Mr.. Johnson processes
his faith as follows: "The educa-
ton of the Negro child should be
realistic. He should be aware not
merely of his environment, and his
role,in it, but of the natural his
tory of his relationship to his cul-
ture. He should know how to ap-
praise the principles of the edu
cation by which it is expected his
life will be shaped. He should
know the present limitations of his
environment and why it is limited.
It is a familiar experience in the
secondary schools and colleges to
encounter student who, by virtue
of the urge of ambitious parents,
have reached the college level on
ly to be overwhelmed when the
educational philosophy fails them,
and without knowing why. Only a
A wise education for this group
would provide for them, freely, a
sympathetic knowledge of their
own intimate social world and a
realistic knowledge of that broad
err universe in which they must
make satisfactory adjustment for
survival.
different OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Prof. Johnson has attacked n
difficult problem, on which parents
prefer to think with their hearts
rather than their heads. 1t is al
most too much to have to admit
limitations at the start and plan
for them. One prefers to hope the
limitations will recede or disappear
and plan for the ideal.

FLOW TO ETHIOPIA

"Arms Flowing into Ethiopia
Despite Bans" reads a headline in
the New York Herald Tribune. The
dispatch is from Linton Wells, who
writes from Djibonti, French So
maitland, that he saw a U. 5.
freighter unload trucks, tractors
and 'sundries' for Ethiopia.
Perhaps knowledge that Ethio-
pia is pouring modern bullets into
his black-shirt troops inspired Mus
solini's latest wall, in which he
blames others and not himself for
the prospect of a new war in Eu-
rope.
And perhaps the modern arms
which have reached Ethiopia had
some bearing on the prophesy re-
Gently made in the New York
Times, and signed by six Italians,
which suggested that Italy's pres
emit predicament is due to the mail
ed fist of II Duce, and that she
could go forward without him.
I'VE, the undersigned" write the
six Italians, always regarded the
Fascist rule as inimical to the real
welfare of the Italian people and
to the peace of the world. Now
that the italian people is confronted
with the most dreadful ordeal,
and that many of those who were
the accomplices of Mussolini's
ask: what next?' we answer: Tt
aly.' We trust in the vitality, NOR
al sanity and common sense of the
italian people.
"There was an Italy before Mus
solini. There will be an Italy after
Mussolini-a free Italy within the
commonwealth of nations"
And we might add that in the
commonwealth of nations will still
be free Ethiopia, because she got
guns in time.

Ethel Waters Denies
She Forced Eleanor
Powell From Play
Josephine Baker Involved In
Alleged "Feud'' With
Fannie Brice

.
Displaying messages of denial
sent by both herself and Elean-
or Powll, white tap dancing
sensation, Ethel Waters this
week told the Associated Negro
Press that her reported attitude
of snubs and criticism toward
Miss Powell had not forced the
latter out OF the Broadway hit
show, "At Home Abroad"
Charges that Miss Waters
attitude had influenced other
members of the cast to so en-
barrass the white star that she
collapsed and withdrew from
the revue were printed by Edna
Ferguson, a reporter for the
New York Daily News. Immed-
lately on the story's appear
ance, Miss Powell sent a tele-
gram to Miss Waters declaring
the article absolutely untrue
and a wire to the News demand
ing a retraction. Miss Waters
has also made several requests
for correction, she states, but
thus far they have been com
pletely ignored.
Meanwhile Josephine Baker,
now appearing on Broadway in
the new "Ziegfeld Follies' is
being accused of causing the
withdrawal of Fannie Brice, due
to either illness or anger, and
the temporary closing down of
the revue. According to the
story, there has been a feud be-
tween the white star and Miss
Baker over prominence in the
billing.
In the telegram sent to Miss
Waters as soon as the News
article appeared, Miss Powell
stated:
MY dear Ethel; No state
emit nor article such as the
malicious one that appeared in
today's Daily News could pos
sibly express a greater untruth
or misstatement of facts. Your
friendship, cooperation and help
is something l have always ap-
preciated and I will be happy
to get back to work as quickly
as the doctors permit which l
hope will be in a few days.
Sincerely, Eleanor Powell"
In the communication to
Miss Ferguson of the News, the
dancing sensation declared her
association with "At Home
Abroad had been very agree
able and if she had been dis
satisfied she would not have
stayed with the show five
months. Miss Powell avowed
her friendship for both Miss
Waters and Beatrice Lille and.
stated both had given her their
utmost cooperation. A denial
was asked in order to save need
less embarrassment to all con-
cerned.
Miss Waters also told the re-
porter that the entire story was
false and asked for a correction.
Thus far the News has not pub
lished any of these letters or
a correction.
