Hungry Horse Contract
Let for $43,431,OOO

THE CONTRACT for construction
of the 520-foot-high Hungry Horse
dam on the South Fork of the Flat
head river near Kalispell, the 1arg-
est new dam now being undertaken
in the country, was awarded by Sec
rotary of the Interior j. A. Krug the
regional office of the bureau of
reclamation said.
The $43, 431, 900 : contract, second
largest in reclamation history, was
given to the General Construction
Co. of Seattle, Wash. The Shea Co.
of Alhambra, Calf, and Morrison
Knudsen Co., Inc, Boise, Idaho.
Only the contract for Hoover dam
exceeded this n in amount of
money.
Fifth Highest
Fifth highest dam, of all types, in
the world, Hungry Horse will be the
fourth largest concrete dam in the
world, its 1900, 900 cubic yards of
concrete being exceeded in volume
only by Reclamation's largest
Grand Coulee, Shasta, and Hoover
dams-Commissioner of Reclamation
Michael w. Straus explained. The
power plant at the toe of the dam
will house four 75,000-kva gener-
ators, each driven by a los, 000-
horsepower turbine.
The contract provides for the com
pletion of the dam and powerhouse
within 1000 days after notice to pro-
coed is given the contractor, Com
missioner Straus continued. 1t is
hoped to have first storage of water
start in 1852, and the first of the
generators is expected to be in op-
Grafton shortly thereafter. The full
generating capacity is expected to
be available by 1854.
2.l00 Feet Long
Hungry Horse will be a concrete
arch dam 2,100 feet long; it is esti-
mated that 2,500,OO0 barrels of ce-
ment will be required. A concrete
lined ring-gate controlled spillway
of the "glory-hole" type will be on
the right abutment.
Hungry Horse dam is a key struc-
ture in the overall, ~long-range de-
velopment of the Columbia river
basin," Commissioner Straus pointed
out. THE large increase in firm
power capacities of the power plants

ture conditions are favorable except
in a few spots.
Planting progresses-Soil prepara-
ton and planting operations have
been active in most of the state for
the last two weeks. Taking advan-
tage of conditions, farmers are work
ing the ground with all possible
speed, many operating their equip
ment on a 24-hour basis.
Soil moisture is adequate for seed
termination throughout the western
two-thirds of the state and also in
the northeastern portion. More
moisture is needed in the southeast
ern quarter. The deficiency that de-
veloped last fall in the southeastern
counties has widened to include
much of the area south of the Mis-
souri, river and east of Lewistown.
termination of winter wheat in
the extreme southeastern part of the
state has been spotted.
On the whole the spring planting
season is about IL days later than
usual and several western counties
are as much as three weeks late.
The northern half of Flathead coun-
ty was still reported under snow.
Winter wheat prospects in the
principal areas appear to be gen.
orally favorable. Weed growth is
heavy in Cascade and Judith Basin
counties but control measures are
expected to reduce the hazard. Pas
ture and hay crops are greening
generally with crested wheatgrass
showing up well.
Chick production up-While the
number of chicks produced by COM
mercial hatcheries during March was
IS percent less than for the same
period a year ago for the nation as a
whole, Montana hatchery produc-
ton increased s percent. State pro-
duction for the month was $780, 900

anticipated, this brought about by
some subtle or sagacious manipula-

than force.
For the Birthday
Those whose birthday it is, may
find their affairs taking more lucra-
tive and pleasant form if they will
take time out to study, with sagac-
ity and foresight to break up imped-
iments or lack of cooperation from
high places. Instead of high-pres-
sure tactics, forced attention, make
approach by subtlety, sagacity, with
efforts to placate rather than force
by over-aggressive action. Social
status, professional skill, even per.

utilized to "move mountains" Ac-

1T sometimes happens that one
disease will bring on another. Dia-
betes is case in point. This condi-
ton occurs when the pancreas-a
gland located in the abdomen-fails
to make enough insulin, the sub
stance which enables the body to
use sugar properly.
We don't know just what the con-
nection is between this disease and
hardening of the arteries, but physi-
clans are we'll aware that diabetic
patients readily develop complica-
tons of this kind. Of course, hard
ened arteries are bound to develop
to some extent in elderly people, but
the process takes place earlier and
more frequently in those with dia-
betes.
Bleeding Into Retina
Fifty to seventy per cent Of all
diabetes, for instance, develop hard
ening of the arteries of the retina
or back part of the eyeball. As a
result, these arteries frequently
break and bleeding into the retina
occurs. Such bleeding may develop
without interfering with the eye
sight and may stop with or without
treatment.
Recently it has been found that
changes in the retina, which accom-
pany diabetes. are, in most in
stances, associated with a decrease
in the amount of protein in the
blood. A high protein diet therefore
has been advised in such cases; that
is, diet containing an abundance
of meat, milk and eggs. 1t is also

pausing for review, we award the
palm to the gardens at Buitenzorg,

favorite.
Even for the amateur botanist or

Hardening Of the Arteries
In the Diubetic Patient

helpful in such instances to give
large doses of Nitamin C and Vita
min X.
Hardening of the arteries in the
legs is common in the patient with
diabetes. This, of course, interferes
with the circulation in the legs and
may be responsible for pain and
other symptoms. The pain in such
cases is present when the patient
is resting. There may also be some
color changes in the skin and a SEN
sation of cold. These symptoms indi-
cate that the damage to the arteries
is severe.
Improve Circulation
Treatment in such instances con-
sists of efforts to improve the circu-
latlon. In some cases, cutting of
the nerves which control the action
of the muscles and the blood vessel
walls may be helpful. If interior
ence with the circulation is so Sc

sues, treatment with penicillin is of
value in controlling the infection.
Damage to the blood vessels in
the kidneys also may occur in dia-
betes. 1t is found particularly in
mild or moderately severe diabetes
together with high blood pressure.
Hardening of the arteries in the
brain also occurs, but the symptoms
do not differ from those which de-
velop in patients who do not have
diabetes.
1t is important for the diabetic to
remain constantly under the care of
his physician, so that the disease
may receive proper treatment and
be kept under control.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
j. E. T.: A specialist has told my
wife that she needs an operation
for otosclerosis. Is this operation
dangerous, or will it restore her
hearing completely?
Answer: The operation for otos-
clerosis is not dangerous one. 1t is
impossible to predict whether COM
plete recovery of hearing will occur.
However, with this operation, often
great deal of hearing is regained.
You should, of course, follow the
advice of your physician in this
matter.

Tips On
Buying

By ELEANOR ROSS

SELECTING glassware is a joy
now that such ample and varied
stocks are in supply. And it is =
real delight to find such exquisite
glassware, both ornamental and
utilitarian made right inside our
own U.S.A. American glassware is
{; fine old story, since it has been
domestic industry shortly after
the settling of jamestown in 1907.
In fact, it is our oldest manufac-
tured product and it is still hand
GRATED just as it was centuries ago.
There's so much romance and tradi-
ton behind American-made glass
ware, and these attributes are
backed up by good design and
quality.
For the benefit of you who are
brides and shopping for glassware
for that wonderful new home, here
are some good buying tips. The two
basic kinds of handmade glassware
are Blown" and pressed. Blown
glassware is made by forcing air by
mouth through hollow pipe until
glass bubble takes the desired
shape. Then a stem and foot are
added to make beautiful table stem
ware.
Desired Shape
Pressed glass, used for plates,
bowls, candelabra and other heavy
glass is done by pouring glass in a
mold and pressing the mold closed
until the desired shape is attained.
AS to the actual pieces selected,
let the label be your guide. You'll
see that the pattern is beautiful,
that the lines are clear and elegant.
Feel the edges carefully to see that
there is no irregularity. Crystal
should reflect the light like dew
drops. Only inferior grades have
blush or greenish tinges in other
wise clear glassware.
Good glassware is always we'll
balanced and symmetrical. One Of
the truest tests of good blown glass
ware is the sound. So when select
ing glass for your table, tip it light
ly with pencil or with your finger
nail and it will give forth q loud,
clear, bell-like ring. The higher the
content of lead in the glass, the
clearer the ring will be. Pressed
glass is made with lime instead of
lead, and so it lacks this resounding
ring.
Waves and Undulations
Handmade glassware is never en-
tirely free from waves or undula-
tons. These are always evident to a
certain extent, because Of the very
handmade nature of the product. If
there is no manufacturer label, be
sure to examine the ware carefully
to make sure that any defects are
relatively few. There should be no
sharp ridges or molds on pressed
glass, and few bubbles in blown
ware.
Pattern is important when select
ing glassware. 1t should be delicate
ly designed, and never heady or
overwhelming. In studying the orna-
mentation, make sure that it is
evenly balanced and that there are
no breaks or faults in the design or
in the cutting. Any etching should
be delicate in detail, have no acid
spots, and show no unwarranted
breaks in the delicate lines,
