Huge Pipe Order

s06S ~ ~ 49,
Pipe, 1,319,330 pounds Of it, was
bought today by the Bureau of Recla'
nation to extend the cooling system
by which the heat generated by the
setting Of great mass of concrete in
Grand Coulee Dam will be extracted.
A contract for the purchase Of the
pipe and joints was awarded to the
Steel & Tube, Inc, of Cleveland Ohio,
on its bid of $70,747.36 fob. Odair,
Washington, the lowest of six bids
received and opened by the Bureau
at its Denver, Colorado, office Octo-
Der 10, 1898. 1t covers 100000
feet Of 1.inch black tube and $1,000
"bends" to be used in fitting.
Altogether, this unique 'refrigera-
ton plant, designed to cool 10,250.-
600 cubic yards Of concrete, will re-
quire more than 1000 miles of pipe.
The pipe is embedded in the concrete
at five-foot intervals, horizontal and
lateral, so that every point within
tho tremendous bulk of the dam is
within very few feet of cooling
pipe.
The reason for cooling the mass
concrete in large dams, by this pro-
cess developed by the Bureau at Boul-
der Dam, is to prevent cracking. AS
concrete hardens, it generates heat,
which, naturally, causes the mass to
expand. If allowed to cool naturally,
mass Of concrete such as Grand Cou-
lee Dam would be cooling, and con-
tracing, for great many years. more
than a century, and strains would be
developing throughout that time.
By refrigeration, the mass can be
perature, within five weeks. Thus the
full cycle Of expansion and contrac-
ton can be made to occur before the
dam is completed.
Contraction joints are left in the
structure as it lis built up in blocks,
so that this hurried contraction will
not cause the cracking which it is
meant to avoid. When the cooling is
completed, the contraction joints are
sealed with concrete, and the struc-
ture becomes a monolith. The cooling
pipes, of course, can not be removed
once they have served their refrigera-
ting purpose. They are, instead, filled
with grout, and become reinforcement
Iii the monolith.
1t has been calculated that contrac-
ton, because of cooling concrete, will
aggregate along the 4,300-foot crest
of Grand Coulee Dam total of 8
inches. Compared with 1890 feet, 8
inches does not seem much, but if the
s inches were to be translated in the
course of time into a series of cracks,
due to failure to overcome the con-
traction problem, it might loom of
major Importance.
At Grand Coulee Dam the tempera-
ture of the water of the Columbia
River is low enough so that it can be
used without further cooling in the
refrigeration Of the dam. At Boulder
Dam, the water of the Colorado was
tepid and before it could be used it
was artificially chilled in typical
ice plant.

YOUR TAXES GROW NEXT YEAR

Single persons with salaries will pay
the State next year an income tax
five times as large as they did March
10.
Harry Walker, single, who earned
$500 last year, claimed 1000 per-
sonal exemption, and paid the State
$3.50. Mr.. Walker with the same sal
AIRY and exemptions next year will pay
the State $3.50.
II Mr.. Walker happened to receive
$1,000 in "unearned income" which
was taxable in the normal manner, he
paid last year only $3.50. Next year
his tax bill will be $125.
Harry Walker, married, earning the
same salary, claimed $500 personal
exemption last year and paid the
State nothing. Next year his tax bill
will be $3.50, because his exemption
viii be lowered to $1,000. If Mr..
Walkers income were "unearned" his
bill of no dollars for last year will
Jump to 500 next year.

100000 Allotted
To Fight ScOurges
On Md. Farms
Bangs Disease, Japanese
Beetle And Other Pests
Target Of Attack

With the additional amounts pro-
vided for the various activities Of the
State Board of Agriculture in Govern
or O'Conor's Supplemental Budget
the State now stands committed to
spend in excess of 100000 during the
two-year period ahead, for the con-
troll of Bangs Disease, the Japanese
Beetle, and various poultry, bee and
farm scourges. This is the largest
total ever provided for such purposes
in the history of the State.
Chief beneficiary under the budget
provisions are the dairymen of the
various counties. with one quarter of
a million dollars set aside for the
campaign against Bangs Disease
among cattle. While, of course, not
confined to cows. and in fact contract
able by humans, the effect of this
costly and annoying disease with re-
gard to human beings can be rendered
practically nil if it is controlled among
cows. With less than half of the coun-
ties of the state area tested, however,
and herds totaling many still to be
tested, the task confronting the State
Board is an enormous one, fact
recognized by Governor O'Conor when
he provided the huge $250,00O cam
paign fund.
A good second on the list, however,
is the obnoxious and destructive Jap
anese Beetle, towards the eradication
Of which 100000 has been allotted,
$4,000 for each of the years 1910 and
1941, and an additional $4,000 in
cluded in the bend issue bill for i'm.
mediate use. Maryland has led the
country in the fight against this par
ticular pest, and, with the funds now
available, will be in a position to aug
ment it's past efforts.
Diseases peculiar to poultry and
bees have been given $1,000 and So, 900
per year, respectively, while $4,000
per year is set aside for the fight
against both tobacco and strawberry
diseases. To insure vigorous enforce
ment of the Fresh Egg Law, $4,000
is available for each of the next two
years, with an added $4,000 for the
biennium for soil conservation and
drainage.
Maryland State Grange and Farm
Bureau officials have urged an unre-
hitting fight for the provisions en-
umerated above. and are to be con-
graduated upon their success in con-
vincing the authorities of the need
for these funds.

In taxable securities last year he paid
the State $225-$4.50 per 81 900. Next
year he will have to pay only the reg
ular 2h per cent. tax on the income
which at 5 per cent. would amount to
$1,000. Instead of 1925 his bill will be
$125 if single, 500 if married.
Maryland's new income tax, which
only awaits the Governors signature
is different from that applied last
year. Voters last November refused to
authorize a graduated income tax
similar in form to that of the Federal
! Government and most other States.

nations of the World refuse

rid themselves of petty hates,
intrigues and deceits. In
the light of an Easter morn,
many centuries ago, a voice
cried peace Be Unto You"
Today that same voice can
be heard if we still the thun-
behring's of international ha-
tired, if we drown out the
evil mutter1ngs of individual
jealousies. The Christian
spirit, recalled so wildly at
Easter, is not dead-it will
rise again and again before
the eyes of those men and
women who are not too en-
crossed to recall the Resur-
rection.
