This Job
All Wet

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.-R
When it rains and SHOWS, pity the
poor guy who has to go out and see
what's happening. He's the water
inspector, or water commissioner as
he's known in western communities.
It's his job to protect the vital life
line of the drylands-the dams and
and reservoirs and irrigation bitches.
In FL Paso county, he's J. M. Prit'-
lie. In 10 years on the job, he's
fought through every kind of bad
weather except a typhoon. When
there's flash flood. Pribble has to
see that the runoff doesn't run off
with the gates along the bitches
He must make weekly measurements
of all available water-and snow.
He must find out how fast it's dis
appearing and advise farmers and
water companies accordingly.
Wet weather doesn't bother Prib-
BILE as much as the late summer
droughts. He's the policeman expect
ed to enforce precious water rights
and priorities as the supply dwind-
les. If farmer is sneaking little
extra water from the ditch for his
parched fields, Pribble has to stop
him-and still remain his friends.
His area covers a mountain and
plains region which would make
a nice-sized little nation III crowded
Europe. 1t includes eight reservoirs,
with capacity of nearly 5000 ,00o,-
900 gallons. From them run miles
and miles of bitches, carrying the
life blood to rich farming, areas
which once were dry, desolate wastes.

GREAT WALTZ" IS
FEATURE COMING,
CAPITOL SUNDAY

The Great Waltz" glamorous mu-
steal drama based on the life Of
Johann Strauss, recreates the ro-
nance OF old Vienna at the Capitol
Theatre where it opens Sunday
with Louise Rainier. Fernand Gravel
and Miliza Korjus heading an elab-
crate cast.
This M-G-M musical masterpiece
reprint deals with the life and loves
of Strauss, played by Gravel, his
wife, Poldi, played by Miss Rainier,
and the opera singer with whom he
was infatuated, enacted by Miliza
Korjus, who sings Tales of the Vi
emma Woods" and other haunting
Strauss songs in spectacular presen-
tations.
The Imperial Opera, the palace OF
Emperor Franz josef, Vienna during
the Metternich Revolution, the vi
emma Woods, are elaborate details
in the picture. A 90-piece orchestra
accompanies the beautiful Viennese
singer in opera and other musical
sequences.
Julien Duvivier directed the pic
ture with his brilliant Continental
technique and human touches. Miss
Rainier is tremendously appealing
and rises to great dramatic heights
in scenes with her rival for the COM
poser's love.

BLUE SKIES" In
TECHNIC0L0R IS
AT 10Th CENTURY

Three million dollars worth of NIL
steal entertainment, fashioned by
Americas master of melody, arrives
tonight at the Goth Century Theatre
with ParamountS Technicolor pro-
duction of Irving Berlin's Blue
Skies" starring Bing Crosby, Fred
Astaire and Joan Caulfield, Billy De
Wolfe and Olga San Juan. the
bombshell from Puerto Rico, via
Brooklyn.
blue Skies is the biggest Berlin
extravaganza ever containing more
of the music of Americas foremost
songwriter than any other picture
Hollywood has ever made. Berlin
wrote four new songs; and new lyrics
for an cid time favorite, to make a
total Of thirty-two hit tunes of the
past and present which are heard
in the movie
Against this melodic background
a love story involving Bling, Fred
and Joan is unfolded, beginning az
ter the first world war and carrying
through to a present day finish. II
tells of the romance and marriage
of Crosby and Caulfield, their break
up over his inability to settle down,
and the persistent, but fruitless, pur-
suit of Joan by Astaire. Only after
Fred has been crippled in fall
while dancing. and is telling the
story on the air in his role of COM
mentator, are the lovers reunited,
and their skies blue forevermore.
All the principals double IN brass,
doing both their specialities. and
teaming up with each other in I'M
portant production numbers. Bing
dances, Fred sings, and the lovely
Miss Caulfield, heretofore acclaimed
for her dramatic ability adone, sings
and dances. Even the comical Billy
De Wolfe joins in the singing, and
the peppery Latin from across the
bridge from Manhattan, sings with
Bing and dances with Fred in some
of the films biggest production
numbers.

house in which the family. would
live, the colors in which it would
be decorated, the furniture and
draperies with which it would be
equipped, and he attended to
many details we regard as being
in the homemaker's province. He
perhaps even selected the bolts of
cloth from which the family's
wardrobe would be made. In most
instances, he consulted his wife
to learn her preferences, but the
final decision was made by him.
All manufacturers and merchants
chose materials and colors to
please him, planned their sales
techniques to fit male psychology,
and hired male clerks to wait
upon him.
At the turn of the century the
peace of living grew swifter. The
American husband found it more
and more difficult to make time
for his buying duties and relegated
and increasing number of them to
his wife. And gradually women
were permitted to make purchases
for the family.
But wars have changed this sit
uation radically, for instead of re-
turning to the home after the war,
the majority remained in business,

assistance for public edu-
cation, it is pointed out.
Under the federal aid bill, which
was passed by the Senate April /,
$3OO,O0O,O 900 would be appropri-
ated for apportionment among
the states on the basis of their
need, ability, and effort in school
support in an attempt to equalize
basic educational opportunity.
The bill corresponding to S472
in the House must be reported by
the House committee on educa-
ton and labor before it can be
acted upon by the entire House,
where the legislation also has
strong bipartisan support.
Under the federal aid program
the funds are to be spent under
the constitution and statutes of
each state, guaranteeing continued
state control of the schools and
enabling each state to give a mini
mum educational opportunity to
every public school child.
The NEA says that "the fed
eral aid program therefore is ur-
gently needed in reducing effec-
lively the number Of pupils drop
ping out of school in all states,
and particularly in those ranking
low in income and in school sup

THE BELL TOLLS
BY Leonard III. Bell

May 10th is 81 Am An Ameri-
can" day. 1t is supposed to be a
day for all good Americans to get
together and reaffirm their loyal
ty to our great country. This day
was suggested and originated by
the Hearst paper and this year
they are whooping it up to make
it one Of the biggest 81 Am An
American" days of all times.
To many people, this day will
be made-to-order for them to get
out in all O ftheir finery and show
off their best American ism. To
some few, it is a God send for
them to further whip up the wal
hysteria by damning Russia. To
some other people, it will be just
the thing to help up their
own un-American acts and to dis
courage both Negroes and Jews
to pursue their fights for justice,
equality and economic oppor-
tunity, which is supposedly the
very essence of Americanism and
democracy.
A true 81 Am An American"
day would be devoted to the eX-
animation of ourselves as Amerl-
cans, in which celebration we
would seek to bring out the things
that are true American. W. most
certainly couldn't call the arrest
of Senator Glenn Taylor for seek
ing to enter a NEGRO" door. Is
segregation true Americanism? 1t
it is, then it is nothing for Ne
groes and Jews to celebrate on
81 Am An American" day. Nor
could we call discrimination in
housing and employment true
Americanism. Yet, these conditions
of abbreviated Americanism exist
and instead Of seeking to high
light them on a day colled Il Am
An American" day, we continue
to let some people confuse the is
sue for us all, to the detrlment
of our country.
1t is becoming increasingly
clear every day that what really
threatens the future of America
is not foreign ideologies and foes,
but the special interests, ideas
that are foreign to the true con-
cept of Americanism and the con-
tinued to the acceptance in Amerl-
ca as an American.

readily say, women are in bust
ness to stay, and today women do
IS per cent o fthe buying in the
United tSates. And the American
husband is obliged to give his wife
cash to run the home, and this
fact completely changes the status
of the woman of yesterday, And
put the women today in the right
world, and the spotlight on the
calendar of 1913.

JOB UPSuRGE
FOR WOMEN

NEW YORK, May 10. (ANP)
= Employment of women once
again is reaching important fig
ures and greatly changing the en-
ployment picture in stable indus
tries.
According to a recent labor
writer, industries that bloomed
during the war and called on fe-
males to supply lacking man pow
err are again flirting with the dis
taft side members to rebuild the
industries undergoing re-awaken-
ing.
Old line organizations that en-
ploy thousands ow women are be-
ing hard put to keep their fe-
males and are using many de-
vices to make them happy while
remaining at their old jobs.
Insurance companies, laundries,
telephone companies all are busy
battling the inroads Of the surely
but slowing increasing industries
that furnish sinews of war.
While not too many Negro wo-
men have been affected as yet,
