New Orleans Air Conditioning

New Orleans, a city built on wood
piIings, may cave in on itself while
trying to keep COOL according to
Charles Evan Fowler, a widely
known building expert and consult
ing engineer. Shallow wells in the
business district are constantly
pumped for air-cooling purposes,
Fowler said. He added that this
eventually will lower the water Ia
BILE under the city's area and cause
wood pilings, which serve as sup
port for some of the largest build
ings, to rot Already one large build
ing has had to be underpinned be-
cause Of sinking. Fowler, author of
some 30 books on engineering, made
a survey across Lake Pontchartrain
for a proposed 24-mile causeway. He
issued designs for reinforced con-
crete pilings of four, eight, and IL
vanes, the last having an increased
geometrical ratio of FRACTIONAL pow
er over the first. Increased fric-
tional power, Fowler explained,
means increased supporting power.

without making any effort whatsO-
ever to better your condition.
You're licked before you start out
and you know it. Quit being such
a dOggOne pessimist and get out of
that gloomy outlook on life. Get
out and have a little more fun.
Why if l felt the way you do Z.
I'd pitch me a whale of a 'binger"
and get it out of my system. Cheer
up, Sister summer will bring
improvements for you and yours.
NJ. G. VI am a young girl and
go with a man who has another
woman. / have a daughter by this
man and he keeps telling me that
he will soon make a change and
that he loves me. Do you really
think he is telling the truth? He
comes to see me every night nearly
and is so jealous he doesn't want
me to go any place without him.
Ans: The time has arrived for
you and your friend to have an UNI
derstanding. Either he makes ar
rangements concerning you and
your daughters future or it's
all over between you. He isn't mar
ried to this woman and he is acting
mighty selfish to put her ahead of
you and the baby. He has already
messed you up enough now let
him make amends. He will see
your viewpoint if you hold out"
for a settlement.
L. ST. am thinking of going in
to business with another lady. Do
you think l will be successful?
Ans: Providing you do not have
to invest much money in the prOpO-
sition. The location could be i'm
proved considerably but if you
make a success in this place, you
can easily move the business to a
better location and keep your regu-
lar trade.
R. NJ. C.-Answer in the Spokes-
man and tell me if sister and l
should make the trip this year we
have planned?
Ans: Before going, you should
write your Aunt in Salt Lake City
and find out if she can have you.
For the past nine months she has
been working and l fear she won't
be able to have you this summer.

F. o. B.-Should l give up try
ing to get job singing because of
a recent failure in the Amateur
Discovery Contest at the Bowery
Cafe?
Ans: We all profit by our past
mistakes. All you need is more
training under a good professional
teacher. You have a nice, sweet
voice but it will take considerable
coaching before you can join the
ranks of pros.
R. B.-I have been in love with
a man for some time and now l am
a member of the Church and he
drinks and that is why we are not
sweethearts and do you think we
will be sweethearts again?
Ans: Never. Your friend is on
the way down. His ideals and
dreams for the future are warped
and deadened by whiskey ard gin.
You have taken the right step to-
ward lettering yourself and your
reward will come in the form of a
fine, outstanding Christian husband,
someone you will meet thru mutual
friends.
S. Tt am tall and skinny and
my legs look just like bean sprouts.
Boys never do turn around and
look at my figure like they do other

type" Oh, please tell me how l
can put some weight on my legs,
hips, 1.-THE you know where), the
bust, the neck and arms. l am s.
10" and weigh almost 100 pounds.
Signed, Wishful.
Ans: Dear Wishful: At the
present time am afraid you will
have to make the best of your fig
ure as it is. Be not too discouraged,
however, for believe you will get
your wish a little later in life .
after you marry and have children
YOU will blossom out and cause a
few of the boys to turn around and
give you the "Once over"
NJ. R.-Please tell me if my luck
is crossed up and how to get it
Strengthened out?
Ans: Your trouble isn't that
your luck is crossed or any other
such nonsense it's simply the
fact that you are going thru life

It is sprightly and gay and lively
Ballet Russo de Monte Carlo which

Last nights exuberant climax was
reached in 'Vienna-1814." choreo-
graphic portrayal of a gala court
bah in celebration of Napoleon's de-
feat, which Leonide Massine has
arranged to a potpourri of Carl
Maria Won Webers music. This is
fun to the overfloWing of exciting
dancing. Among other things, there
is truly wonderful Pas de Deux,
danced last night by Alexandra
Danilova and Igor Youskevitch de-
spite what the program announces,
unless these eyes are betraying us.
And that certainly looked like Mia
Slavenska and Marc Platoff in the
lively Theme Russo for which Dani-
Iowa was scheduled. At any rate,
they all were fine And so were the
others, especially Massine himself in
his one brief, but bright, moment of
the evening.

Massine's skill as a choreographer

swirl a crowd into living excitement,

as frolicsome bit of gayety with
Stfavinsky music as its background,
the latter as beautifully danced
abstraction of Tschaikowsky's Ser
enhde for Strings" But, where
Massine's masses of people always
flow with the greatest of ease, Ba-
lanchine, in each of these numbers,
occasionally turns his dancers into
acrobats. There is some effect lost,
surely, when one becomes fascinated
with the mechanics of an intricate
