M., two on Friday at 7 and 9 and three shows on Saturday. "The Secret Six" will arrive with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's sensational drama including a huge dramatic cast. Ken Maynard in "California Mail" will be presented at 1:15 P. M., Saturday, May 16 for the Junior Matinee, followed by an approved program of short subjects. Two great pictures for one week of supreme entertainment of popular prices, 25c-35c, Children 10c. Motor Stage Fares Slashed Everywhere "Trader Horn" Coming to Fox Anaheim The management of the Fox Anaheim Theatre will receive "Trader Horn" at 2:00 P.M., Sunday, May 17th. The Trader will remain until 11:30 P.M., Wednesday, May 20, giving four complete shows on Sunday, two on Monday, two on Tuesday, special matinee and two evening shows on Wednesday. "Trader Horn"—nothing like it; alove romance with darkest Africa as a setting. In the heart of a savage jungle two men and a beautiful white goddess in an adventure that will thrill and leave you breathless. You will gasp as you see the wild elephant herds, the lions and leopards in deadly battle, the rhinoceros at bay, hundreds of crocodiles with snapping jaws charging at the boats of the Traders. Harry Carey and Edwina Booth portray the principal characters in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's sensational filmization of the widely read narrative of African wilds by Ethelreda Lewis. On Thursday, May 21 at 7 P.M., Ken Maynard in "California Mail" will be presented at 1:15 P.M., Saturday, May 16 for the Junior Matinee, followed by an approved program of short subjects. Two great pictures for one week of supreme entertainment of popular prices, 25c-35c, Children 10c. Motor Stage Fares Slashed Everywhere Of special interest to anyone contemplating a trip anywhere, are the remarkably low excursion fares now in effect via motor coach throughout the Pacific Coast and the entire United States, according to R.B. Harrington, local agent for the Motor Transit Lines and associated motor bus companies. "The recent slashing of round-trip fares to Pacific Coast points make them the lowest 'every day' rates ever offered, as far as I know," remarked Mr. Harrington today, when advising a patron of the new excursion fares which will remain in effect to the 15th of June or later. Agent Harrington also points out that right now one can travel anywhere in the United States by luxurious motor coaches very quickly, comfortably and most economically. He quotes as examples the round-trip fares from Anaheim to San Francisco as $15.80; to Portland for $31.10; to Las Vegas, Nev., the gateway to Boulder Dam, for $12.60; to Phoenix for $14.00 and other coast cities at correspondingly low rates. "Back East fares are also unusually low right now," added the genial agent, "and transcontinental touring via motor coach is growing more popular every day. And why shouldn't it be?" he asked, "when you can go as far as Chicago for $39.50 and to New York City for $57.20, or to Boston, Mass., for $58.15, travelling straight through, or more leisurely if desired, along scenic highways over a choice of three great routes from coast to coast." About the only consolation Bill Thompson has out of the election is that he wasn't beaten by one of King George's men. It took a guy from Bohemia to do it. Hoover Dam Looms In Great Figures Nearly Twice as High as Any Other Yet Built and 650 Feet Thick at Base CONTROL THE COLORADO Lake Above the Dam Will Be 115 Miles Long BY DR. ELWOOD MEADE, Commissioner, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation The first impression of the Boulder canyon project is size. About every dimension is a superlative. The dam will be 730 feet high, nearly twice the height of any dam yet built. It will be 650 feet thick at the base. The All-American canal, which will carry the stored waters to irrigators in Imperial Valley will be 20 feet wide, 22 feet deep and carry 15,000 cubic feet of water a second. This canal has to pass through a wind-swept ridge of shifting sand where the excavation will be more than 200 feet deep. Acqueduct 200 Miles Long The acqueduct that is to carry water to Los Angeles, Anaheim and twelve other cities will be over 200 miles long and will carry 1,500 cubic feet of water a second, which will have to be lifted 1,200 feet to cross the Sierra Divide. This acqueduct will cost more than $200,000,000. The lake above Hoover dam will be 115 miles long, 582 feet deep, and will hold 30,500 acre-feet of water, enough to cover the State of New York to the depth of one foot. It will be the largest artificial reservoir in the world, more then eleven times the capacity of the Elephant Butte reservoir in New Mexico, and twelve times that of the Assuan reservoir in Egypt. ractors assume no risks from fluctuations of prices. The cofferdam is the one hazardous feature of the project. The power machinery is to be provided by the contractors for power. Owing to its size, it will be something of a problem to install it, but some of the contractors have for a year been studying the situation and have already designed the equipment. The designing engineer of the Boulder canyon project is known to his associates as Jack Salvage. He has in succession designed the four highest dams in the world, so the Hoover dam is simply another step in his progress. Land Withdrawn from Entry At present all public land susceptible of irrigation from Hoover Dam has been withdrawn from entry and will not be opened to settlement until water for irrigation is available. That means not until after the Hoover dam is completed and canals and laterals constructed to bring the water to the land, or from seven to eight years hence. When water is available for irrigation and the land is opened to entry, ex-service men will have a preference right of three months to enter such land before citizens without a military or naval background are allowed to make application. The land will doubtless be opened in units of a few thousand acres at a time as water becomes available for a particular area and in order that there may not be too great a lag between completion of construction and full settlement. Bank Offers Help to Home Builders That the banks of California are maintaining unusually large liquid reserves that they may be in position to aid business, industry and agriculture in the return to normal conditions, was brought out by E. J. Nolan, chairman of the Bank of America's board, who stated that adequate reserves mean ability to cooperate in the hastening of better business conditions. "In the return to normalcy," said Mr. Nolan, "our bank believes that the encouragement of home building is fundamentally sound and an avenue along which we can be especially helpful at whatever success we may have had is largely due. I believe, to the fact that we were not afraid to local." Mr. Davis explains. "Because the field was so limited, we were fairly thorough. You don't have to go far to find important things. We have been exploring Staten Island for fifty years but we haven't exhausted it. There are plenty left to find." Californian's Urged To Plant Trees Announcement that the American Forestry Association hopes to have planted ten million trees as a part of the celebration of the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birthhill brought the suggestion that California take a prominent part in this observance. California's quota in the tree-planting program would be approximately 500,000 trees. While half a million trees require a large amount of space it is said by those who are familiar with the situation that there is ample room for such wholesale planting, particularly in towns and along the principal highways of the state. Some months ago Standish L. M.chell, secretary of the Automobile Club of Southern California, suggested that communities carry on clean-up for beautify the roadside chapels as means of relieving local unemployment in a manner that would reduce the benefit of the communities and their unemployed alike. With the national plan for planting ten million trees ready under way, the Washington adversary observance might well serve as a stimulus to a systematic roads beautifying campaign to continue throughout 1932. Waterspar Showing Wins Attention Approximately 250 people thronged the store-rooms of the Spencer Park Store at 166 West Center street, Monday and Tuesday of this week, to stupefy the Waterspar demonstrations put and will carry 1,500 cubic feet of water a second, which will have to be lifted 1,200 feet to cross the Sierra Divide. This acqueduct will cost more than $200,000,000. The lake above Hoover dam will be 115 miles long, 582 feet deep, and will hold 30,500 acre-feet of water, enough to cover the State of New York to the depth of one foot. It will be the largest artificial reservoir in the world, more then eleven times the capacity of the Elephant Butte reservoir in New Mexico, and twelve times that of the Assuan reservoir in Egypt. Dam of Herloe Proportions The dam structure is given herio proportions because the turbulent Colorado river has to be controlled and because the water needs of the Southwest are great and urgent. The reservoir must be large enough to hold the greatest flood. The flow below the dam must be regulated. No floods to break the levees and menace the homes, but always water enough to irrigate 2,000,000 acres of land and meet the requirements of millions of people in cities. Into this reservoir there will be dropped each year 100,000 acre-feet of mud. The reservoir will be large enough to hold this deposit for two centuries without interference with its capacity as a regulator. Flow Through Bottle-Neck The canyon walls at the water level of the river are only 200 feet apart. The velocity of the river's flow through this bottle-neck is about 20 feet a second. The upper cofferdam which will turn the river into the tunnels will be 80 feet high. When the river is diverted, 7,000,000 cubic yards of mud and gravel will have to be taken out of the space between the two coffers to uncover the rock on which the dam will rest. Altogether it is the most advanced, the boldest and most thoroughly studied hydraulic enterprise in engineering history. With 5,000,000 cubic yards of concrete, 30,000 tons of structural steel and over 70 miles of grouting holes, with rock tunnels ranging from 50 to 70 feet in diameter, and 2,000 tons of needle valves, the structure that is to be set in the path of the turbulent Colorado is a sheer walled narrow gorge at the bottom of an inaccessible desert canyon in the remotest region in the United States, constituting a work ranking with the greatest ever attempted by human hands. It Gets Hof There This project, like the Panama canal, has a climate. The summer wind which sweeps over the gorge from the desert feels like a blast from a furnace. How to overcome this and provide for the health of the workers has had much attention. At the rim of the gorge, where much of the work must be done, there is neither soil, grass nor trees. The sun beats down in summer on a broken surface of lava rocks. At mild-day they cannot be touched with the naked hand. maintaining unusually large liquid reserves that they may be in position to aid business, industry and agriculture in the return to normal conditions, was brought out by E. J. Nolan, chairman of the Bank of America's board, who stated that adequate reserves mean ability to cooperate in the hastening of better business conditions. "In the return to normalcy," said Mr. Nolan, "our bank believes that the encouragement of home building is fundamentally sound and an avenue along which we can be especially helpful at this time. We are stressing long-time installment loans on homes, with no commission or brokerage charge, and with payments arranged to suit the income of the borrower. The monthly installment on these loans is $11.62 per $1,000, borrowed. This installment includes interest at seven percent on the deferred payments and a partial payment on the principal." "Not for many years have building materials and supplies been quoted at more favorable figures than at present. It would seem the part of good business judgment to undertake the building of a home now, when economies can be effected which will be impossible after conditions have fully returned to normal. Such economies should pay a handsome profit within the next two years. For these reasons we are seeking to aid home builders." Airships of Future Depend on Motors Dr. Hugo Eckner, pilot of the Graf Zepplin, says of airship voyages of the future: The principal advances in airship construction in the future will lie in the field of the motors. With motors now designed, which will be ready to use in the Spring of 1923, when the ship will be ready, we are definitely assured of the economies indicated through use of crude oil. "Study has convinced us that with two ships the operation will be at least profitable. With four ships, which we shall have in ten years, it should be decidedly so. Fares will be about 50 per cent higher than average fares on express streamers today; that is to say, between $800 and $1,000. At such rates we are assured of plenty of patronage. We need but a fraction of the present steamship travel to fill our cabins. In order to bring down costs, the design of the ships must be standardized. And this is something on which we are working. The capacity of the LZ-129 will be fifty passengers, thirty-five in crew and at least ten tons of additional payload under any conditions, with eighteen tons additional as a maximum. If necessary, passenger accommodations can be increased to give quarters for seventy-five to eighty persons." It Gets Hot There This project, like the Panama canal, has a climate. The summer wind which sweeps over the gorge from the desert feels like a blast from a furnace. How to overcome this and provide for the health of the workers has had much attention. At the rim of the gorge, where much of the work must be done, there is neither soil, grass nor trees. The sun beats down in summer on a broken surface of lava rocks. At mid-day they cannot be touched with the naked hand. It is bad enough as a place for men at work. It is no place for a boarding house or a sleeping porch. Comfortable living conditions for workers had to be found elsewhere, and these were found on the summit of the Divide, five miles from the dam—at Boulder City, Nevada, just across the Arizona line, and laid out by S. R. DeBoer, a noted city planner. The Bureau of Reclamation will spend $2,000,000 to make Boulder City a comfortable place for workers. Income to Repay Cost Money to repay the U.S. Government for its expenditures on this gigantic project is to come from water supplied to cities and towns and from electric power already contracted for. The power plant will generate 660,000 firm horsepower. The water and power will in 40 years bring an income of $373,500,000. Of this, Uncle Sam will receive $288,260,000 to repay money advanced with 4 percent interest. Arizona and Nevada will each receive $31,235,000. Operations and maintenance will absorb $16,120,000 and there will at the end of 40 years be a surplus of $66,650,000, which will be the net profit of the U.S. Government for going into this enterprise. Notwithstanding the suit in the U.S. Supreme Court, the work is going forward steadily. The contract for the dam and tunnels involves close to $50,000,000, one of the largest contracts ever let in this country. The tunnels are to be finished in two years, the dam in six years, six months. Considering its magnitude, the whole enterprise has very few elements of uncertainty for the contractors. Just Another Dam to Salvage The Government is to furnish the cement and structural steel so the steamship travel to fill our cabins. "In order to bring down costs, the design of the ships must be standardized. And this is something on which we are working. The capacity of the LZ-129 will be fifty passengers, thirty-five in crew and at least ten tons of additional payload under any conditions, with eighteen tons additional as a maximum. If necessary, passenger accommodations can be increased to give quarters for seventy-five to eighty persons." Fame is Reward to Bug Hunters Scientific recognition of two notable collections of insects owned by private collectors in Staten Island, New York City, has directed attention to the manner in which a boyish fad for bug-hunting eventually brought fame to two youths who are now ranked among the foremost entomologists in the world. The two scientists are William T. Davis and Charles W. Long. The former has the world's finest collection of locusts, and the latter has a collection of beetles almost equally famous. Beginning life together as school boys, they brought the world to their doorstep through their common passion for collecting plants, animals, birds and bugs—especially bugs. Their boyish fad led to their forming the Natural Science Association of Staten Island, now highly esteemed among scientific leaders everywhere as the Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences, occupying a fine modern museum building of its own. For years the two boys carried an their studies of insects as a side line, the American Magazine says. Recognition came gradually some years after they began publishing a magazine called "in scientific parlance the "Proceedings" of their Association. Ultimately the two boys were able to give all their time to their hobbies. Long compiled a catalog of beetles which is now used all over the United States, and Davis wrote a book on Circades of North America which is equally well known. Recognized as authorities, they could, if they wished, have joined the staffs of national museums or societies. But they preferred to stay on Staten Island. Anaheim, Calif., May 14, 1931 Anian's Urged To Plant Trees ment that the American association hopes to have million trees as a part of motion of the 200th anniversary of Washington's birth has suggestion that California government part in this observance. s quota in the tree-plantation would be approximately six. While half a million are large amount of space, those who are familiar with that there is ample room wholesale planting, particular and along the principal of the state. With the años ago Standish L. Mitchell of the Automobile Club California, suggested that carry on clean-up and roadside campaigns as a believing local unemployment er that would redound, to of the communities and the alike. With the national planting ten million trees alway, the Washington observance might well serve us to a systematic roadside campaign to continue in 1932.

Right now, everyone is a bit puzzled as to the effectiveness of the project. While it is true that music places travelers in a pleasant frame of mind, it doesn't work so well when it comes to clearing the station. Last fall, Princeton alumni joined in the singing of their school song—then coming over the radio—so enthusiastically that the radio had to be shut off to get the rooters on the train. What type of music shall be played on the organ is a problem. On religious holidays, church music alone is suitable; at the death of notables, funeral marches should be performed. Now the question is, does slow, mournful music pop up the passengers' actions, or the reverse? Then again, the music can't be too peppy, for they don't want the negro "red caps" to go into a Dixie jig when they play those down South tunes. A Chicago head waiter shoots two bandits while they are holding up the guests in a night club. Here is another ready-made plot for the talkies that will not be overlooked. When it comes to getting married it's better to pick a girl who can wield a wicked needle at the sewing club than it is one who can shake a wicked ankle at the night club. "It is said for Al Smith that 'he is not a non-candidate.' Figure that out if you can," dares the Atlanta Constitution. To us it seems quite simple.

Mrs. Catt says that it is up to the women of the world to end war. Well, Carrie could make a good beginning by persuading the female shock troops in the Russian army to disband.

Calvin Coolidge intimates that he will not become a candidate for Speaker of the House of Representatives at Washington. Once again demonstrating that he retains his good political judgment. One way to get rid of the oversupply crude oil would be to have some scientist discover that it contains a large amount of Vitamin D. With so many people out of a job it ought not be difficult to get hold of a good speaker for the lower house of Congress. Some of the Jeffersonian leaders deny that John Raskob speaks for the Democratic party. Well, he puts up the money and doesn't money talk? Maybe the reason the girls wear their pajamas, out on the street is that they don't stay in bed long enough to have much use for them. Mahatma Gandhi is going to visit the United States.
