Facetious Carole Lombard
 Dilates Upon Her Wealth

rented house since she came to Hol- lywood from Ft. Wayne, Ind, but now she's building a home of her own. It's different in that it's costing her $9,500 cash, in contrast to the mortgaged mansions owned by most other stars. It will have two bedrooms, one for herself and the other for her cook, her only servant.
 In honor of her new home, with two-car garage attached, Miss Lombard has had her automobile built by Henry Ford in 1935-re- painted. That cost her $50.
 That sounds like I'm miser,' she said. I'm really not, but I'm trying to stay on cash-and-carry basis. Truth is, I'm trying to save my money so eventually I can retire. I figure if I work real hard for the next five or six years, I'll have enough money to give me an income of say 5000 8 year. That'll be plenty for me. I remember worked for a lot less for Mack Sen- nett and I had a good time then. There's no reason why I shouldn't keep on enjoying life-if I can just save up a little nest egg"

 Correspondent

Hollywood, Aug. 25-(UP)-Ca- role Lombard emerged today from a welter of Hollywood complaints about taxes to say that she was glad to give the government more i than four fifths of her $465, ,000 an- nual income, and was content to live on the remainder.
 She earns $1500oo per picture She made three last year. She also appeared in three radio broadcasts at $5000 each. That made her the highest paid movie star of 1887.
 Funny thing about all that money" she said, was that I got only $20,000 of it for myself, direct ly I mean. The government spent most of the rest of it for me on general improvements on the coun- try and I really think I got my moneys worth" Miss Lombard, one of the first movie stars ever known to praise the tax collector instead of blame him, said that state and federal in- come taxes took S5 1-2 per cent of of her wages.
 She returned $397,575 of her S465 ,OOo to the state and federal treasuries. That left her $67, ,425.
 "Only I had to pay my agent from that" she said. T also had to give my business manager a good salary. I had to spend near | ly $l0,000 on fan mail, parties, pub licity and other incidental expenses and when I got through I barely had $20,000 left.
 But I have no kicks at all. Fact is I'm pretty happy about the whole thing. Twenty thousand year is plenty for me and as for giving the government most of my in- come, I think that's fine.
 q enjoy this country. I like the parks and the highways and the good schools and everything that this government does. After all every cent anybody pays in taxes IS spent to benefit him.
 "I don't need $465, 900 year for myself so why not give what l don't need to the government for improvement of the country? I There's no better place to spend it
 And furthermore if didn't have to pay high taxes I wouldn't be earning so much. Salaries in the movies went up, keeping step with taxes, and if there were nc income tax at all. probably wouldn't even be getting s2O,OOO."

 But Fritz, can't get his Volksautc until he has paid the purchase price in full. In the meantime the gov ernment will have the use of mill lions of marks paid in by the peo- pie. Nominally, these funds are SUD- posed to go into construction of the factory and the 20 villages which will surround the plant and house approximately 10000 Volksauto workers, and into working capital for automobile production. But they can also go into military uses if Hitler is so minded.
 For his $400 and some, the Ger man purchaser will receive car whose body is made of plastic ma terials. PlaSticS are handsome but not very good protection against smash-ups. It is true that Germany has low accident record. The tires on the Volksauto will be of "buna, the artificial rubber developed by Germany's great substitute industry the seats of artificial leather, the tire castings of artificial silk.
 The Volksauto will be capable of covering 60 miles on 3-4 gallons of gasoline and 1-10 liter of oil. It will have it's air-cooled motor in the rear will develop "A horsepower, will weigh $50 kilorams, be over meters long and over 1-2 meters high and wide. It will ride five passengers comfortably and will be equipped with windshield wipers and pos sibly radio if the engineers can make one cheap enough. There will be three models.
 In theory, every worker in Ger many will be able to buy Volksauto Nazis point proudly to the low in- Stallments. the cheap operating costs. In practice, 1t is probable that only the better paid workers will be able to buy cars in Germany, as they are in America. For the average wages of 97 per cent of the popula- ton does not exceed $100 a month and marks week comes to about $10 monthly.

Berlin, Aug. 25.-On New Years day, 1940, Fritz, Mrs. Fritz and Hans, Johann and Adolm Fritz will get into their shiny new Volksauto, start the motor and go for a spin on one of Germany's highways. Simultaneous ly, other Fritzes, en famille. will do the same thing. And as 1940 prog resses, thousands of good Germans will proudly begin driving their own cars.
 For Germany has launched on what may very well prove to be the important achievement of Hitler ism-making available low-cost cars for people to whom automotive travel was formerly out of the ques- tion.

Recent Rains Been Big Help Miners
 This Section

The recent rains of the past few days have been a God send to the mining industry of Nome and the Second Division. Some few of the mining companies have pre- pared for dry seasons by install ing individual pumping plants, contacting lakes and storage ponds, thus being able to use the water over and over, and making it possible to work continuously turnout the summer season.
 It would seem to Us that when a mining concern invests a con- siderable amount of money in mining machinery and other equipment. one of the first things to consider would be arrange ments for sinking holes for wat CT, preparing dams which would hold the spring freShets, and etc. so as to make continuous mining possible in the short season whi- oh we have to contend with in the Second Division.
 The few who have protected themselves in this manner have had little trouble in continuous and steady operation of their min ing operations in the past few few years. and state that they would never again think of try ing to mine without added pump ing equipment in case of dry season.

Concrete Pouring Harbor Jetties
 Start WP

The stormy weather since July 3 has necessitated a temporary lay-off on the East jetty of the Snake River Harbor project work. About 50f6 of the pile driving has been completed, and concrete foums will be placed as soon as water conditions permit. The concrete must be poured in calm water,aS it must be tremied, or placed below the water level.
 With increasing probability of rough weather as the Ssason pro- ereSSes, the concrete work will not go ahead as rapidly as the bling has. With normal weather conditions prevailing during July August and early September, the new jetty will be completed by the latter part of September. If the construction work is finished before the end of the season, the Harbor Commission will make some minor repairs to the exist ing harbor.
 The first step in the construc- ton of the 240 foot break-water was the driving of large general piles to support the superstruc- ture on which the pile-driver and other necessary machinery are placed. and which will remain as extra strengtheners for the con- crete mass. These piles are driv- en to a depth of l2 feet. Steel sheet billings are driven fourteen feet into the sand to fortify the concrete structure against the onslaughts of ice and water.
 The concrete will be poured in steel forms, one block or horizon tal division at time. Small cars will take the concrete mixture out on the track that has been built on the superstructure, and dump it into hopper placed ov- CT the block to be poured.
 From the hopper a hose extends down to the area to be poured. When the work is begun the hose is stuffed with a sack or rag, and the weight of the concrete mass in the hopper forces a stream of the mixture down the hose. push ing the rag in front of it. and thus forcing the water from the path of the concrete. The con- crete flows from the end of the hose and spreads out over the area to be covered. Two men work the hose into the desired position, and steer it to cover the entire surface of the block. The concrete is built up to the water level at the first pouring, and the upper part of the section is plac- ed by the ordinary dry method.
 Concrete placed under water develops less heat in the curing process. Therefore, it shrinks less at the construction joints, and is more durable for that req son.
