Sured from the lowest point of bed
rock, the dam is now PIP u feet
high. BY September, 1868. when
finished, the dam will tower 7lOfeet
and will contain nearlyfiVe million
cubic yards of conc rete. Glen Cam
yon Dam is located on the Colorado
River Just south of the Arizona
Utah border.
The one million cubic yards now
in the dam would be enough con-
crete to build 2O-foot highway,
inche thick, 767 miles long--a
distance comparable to that fr Q N.
Chicago TO Philadelphia.
Work first began On the big dam
in 1856. The diversion of the river
and the excavation of tunnels, spill
ways, the found alton area, and
other features took the next four
years. On June II, 1860, the first
bucket of concrete was placed. To-
day bucket after bucket OF conc rete

Hansen Urges Others
To Use Amidon System

School supt. Carl F. Hansen
has made his long expected
pitch to get the Districts ele-
mentary school principals to
adopt the stiff academic teach
ing methods recently instituted
at the experimental Amidon
School in Southwest.
Amidon, DR.. Hansen's per-
sonally devised solution to what
he terms the wishy-washy pro-
gramming and teaching in
many Of the Nations public
schools, attempts to combine
the best features Of the old
fashioned three RS" system
with the proven portions Of the
progressive system.
Amidon was opened on an
experimental basis last year.
DR.. Hansen and the especially
picked teachers working there
think it is paying off-so much
so that at yesterdays meeting
of some 100 elementary school
principals in La Sale Elemen-
tary School, Riggs road and
Madison street NE, he invited

the school heads to adopt the
system, too. Sd.
They were not directed to do
so and were told by the super
intendent that a decision one
way or another need not be
made hastily.
"If you don't like the idea, it
would be a waste to order you
to do it," the superintendent
explained, "but the door is
open. We are not going to use
a straitjacket." .'
"Amidon is producing the
kind of results which, while we
cannot fully measure them yet,
has elected enthusiastic re-
sponses from parents, teach
ers and pupils" DR.. Hansen
told the principals.
A number Of principals ap-
parently were receptive to the
superintendent's invitation to
to try the Arnidon methods.
The changes would not take
place until next fall, officials
said.

Police Swarm on Cab,
Take HoIdup Suspect

A holdup suspect who said
he had planned to shoot it
out" with police dropped his
gun and surrendered meekly
last night when policemen in
near-riot squad strength con-
verged on his taxi.
Detective Sergt. Wayland
Fallin and Detective Charles

vict, told them he had been
unable to get a job since his
release from Leavenworth Pen

live for"
They booked him as Edwin
Jules LaRue, Il, of no fixed
address. He was released from
prison in December after a 10
year term for a robbery here.

LaRue was captured after
Heiney's Mayfair Rug Shop.

of $270.
The shop owner, Irving j,
Heiney of 1908 Sixteenth street
NV, at first refused to believe
the holdup was genuine. de-
spite the bandits statement,
This is a real gun. I want
what's in the cash register"
Mr.. Heiney told the detectives
he at first thought the man
was asking for a handout.

Civil War Ransom
Bill for Frederick

The United States owes

Representative Matthias. Re-

duced a bill to reimburse the
city the money it raised 100
years ago to pay off Gen. Jubal
Early.
Gen. Early, a Confederate,
marched into town July 8, 1864,
on his famous sweep up the
Shenandoah Valley and into
Maryland toward Washington
At Frederick he told the city
fathers he would spare the
town for 100000. Frederick
and the general rode off with
the money.
Over the years, Frederick has
asked its Congressman to see
what they could do about
recovering the money.
There is some hope. The
towns of Chambersburg, Pa,
and Lawrence, Kans.. have been
reimbursed for indignities suf-
fered during the Civil War.

mending that drivers be as

These are violations that
very frequently contribute to
serious accidents" Mr.. England
said. He charged that at least
four persons we're killed here
last year by drivers who were
operating stolen cars.
The group also voted to add
the following violations to the
point system, assessing each
two points: failing to report
for inspection, no front or rear
bumper, commercial vehicle
dropping dirt or operating in
a park, driving over a lawn,
defective speedometer, viola
ton of a truck route, defective
windshield and having more
than one passenger in an auto

permit.
Heretofore these violations
were handled by the Central
Violations Bureau, which does
not assess points.

that these were overlooked

The Fairfax plan to construct

persons in the area get their
water from the Alexandria
