The craft is 785 feet long, almost twice the size of the Graf Zeppelin and three times larger than the Angeles. On the Sidewalks of New York By OBSERVER (Correspondence to The Gazette A WARRIOR "BOILED" One recent hot day on Broadway a knight in full chain-mail armor with a steel helmet stood on the corner, right in the hot sun. His "pennant" told where one could get a fine manicure. Just another sandwich man. I went up to him and asked him, "Why, you poor slimp, don't you go over and stand in the shade?" The sweat poured down his face, inside of his visor. It must have been worse than a Turkish bath or painting the roof of a shed in July down in Florida! "Say," he rejoined, "what do you think I am? I'd do it in a minute but I'm under orders to stand where the sun shines on my helmet!" And that was that. NO BILLBOARDS New York City is the center, along with Chicago, of the billboard industry. Some $14,000,000 a year comes here from the renters of country-side displays. But do they take their own medicine? They do not. Walking in Central Park, right in the heart of the big town, one can see miles of skyscrapers that border the park. As far as the eye can see, there is not a single line of print anywhere, barring one building which carries just the address—15 E. 69—or something like it. They're just throwing away a million dollars a year by not carrying signs for somebody's soap, or tooth powder or something. Just imagine a notice over the Metropolitan Museum—"all statues inside cleaned by Purity Soap." No funnier than destroying the beauty of some sylvan scene.

How profitable it is was shown here the other day when a tenant who had telephoned for a man to chase away a mouse, fell into talk with the bug killer. He gave his name as John L. Whitten, of 307 W. 11th, a fine neighborhood. Then he admitted he "batched" in the top floor there; that he owned the whole building; that his own two rooms were filled with costly antiques and that he owned a collection of Russian gold table service and Japanese cloisonne ware that was too valuable to keep stored away in a safety deposit vault. Most of his valuables were picked up for a song, as he haunted second-hand stores in his working clothes and the dress—15 E. 93—or something like it.

PHONE 2414 Big Insurance at Small Premium New York Engineer and Water Expert Talks of Colorado Aqueduct In constructing the Colorado river conduct, southern California will have taken out a huge insurance policy at a small premium. Such was the statement made by Thaddeus Merriman, chief engineer of the New York City board of water supply and a member of the Metropolitan water district's engineering board of review, in an interview shortly after his arrival in Los Angeles to confer with the district's chief engineer, Frank E. Weymouth, on problems relative to precise location of San Jacinto tunnel on the aqueduct route. Slight Increase in Taxes "The average man will experience no substantial increase in taxes as a result of aqueduct construction," he continued. "After construction is started, four years will pass before the cost is as much as $53,500,000 for the whole Metropolitan water district." Total interest which must be paid over the six-year construction period will amount to about $21,000,000, which is less than four-tenths of one cent per person per day. Three-quarters of this total, moreover, will not be due before 1936 or 1937. Four Reasons Why Merriman gave four reasons why the aqueduct should be started at once: The $220,000,000 bond issue is not large for the district. The bonds will be issued only as needed, so that interest expense to the taxpayer will be materially lessened. By the time the full investment must be made, the depression will be passed. Southern California needs the aqueduct badly and at once. You people out here are going to mean lessened dividends and lower returns from capital. One hears from all sources that the shelves of the merchants are practically cleared, and that many of them are living from hand to mouth, as far as stocks are concerned. Some industries have already gone back on full time production and it is expected the rest of the mills and factories will follow in a few months. Naturally this cannot be accomplished as quickly as it can be shut down, and it is this permanent seeks to bridge over with temporary jobs on needed public works like port offices, roads, levees and similar undertakings. Another problem that is harrying the President is the question as to whether Congress will be able to pass the enabling legislation to permit the President's debt holiday to become effective. Under the Young plan, Germany is due to make a heavy payment on December 15 and Congress, which was relied upon by Mr. Hoover to sanction the postponement of the debt, will not meet until December 7. The whole crux of the situation lies in the fact that, for the first time in many years, the two major parties are almost tied in their number of representatives. It is problematical as to whether the Republicans or the Democrats will control and elect the speaker. Even if the Republicans are shown to be in control, they will still have the difficult job of conciliating the Progressives so they will vote with the regulars. Representative Tilson of Connecticut is the logical choice of the regulars for speaker, with Representative Luce of Massachusetts a close second. Luce is considered the best thinker in the House. It is certain that the insurgents will demand that a western man be chosen and a long-drawn-out fight may result. The Democrats are but little better off, if they gain control, as Garner of Texas, the man nearest in line for speaker, is not liked by Tammyany, which has a powerful bloc in the lower house. That would leave Representative Crisp of Georgia as the second proprietors of the shop took him for a poor man. OTHER POOR MEN There is another type of man who has been the subject of many an "O.Henry story." The type is the waiter, many of whom build up fortunes from their tips. Of course the big money does not come that way but from confidential tips on the market they overhear while waiting on big financiers, or else which are given them out of kindness by their customers. The other day two stock exchange men were lunching together when one suggested a trip to the racetrack. His friend asked him if he had any money in his pocket. "Why, no," said the first man. "I thought you had plenty." Their regular waiter was nearby and he stepped up to the table. "If you'll excuse me," he said, "I couldn't help overhearing what you were talking about. If one or two hundred would do you any good, I'll be glad to let you have it." And then he plug up a roll and skinned of enough twenties so the two could have an afternoon's amusement. "Pouring Party" Held at the County Jail "If you'll excuse me," he said, "I couldn't help overhearing what you were talking about. If one or two hundred would do you any good, I'll be glad to let you have it." And then he plug up a roll and skinned of enough twenties so the two could have an afternoon's amusement. "Pouring Party" Held at the County Jail Rather than have the sheriff's storage department flooded, a "pouring party" has been held at the county jail. The storage room had become filled with liquor seized since the last "pouring" a few weeks ago, and something had to be done about it. So Sheriff Logan Jackson had a large quantity poured through a man hole in the county yards. Only such liquor required as evidence in cases still pending before the courts was saved from the pouring of accumulated stock, directed by Sheriff Jackson. Four Reasons Why Merriman gave four reasons why the aqueduct should be started at once: The $220,000,000 bond issue is not large for the district. The bonds will be issued only as needed, so that interest expense to the taxpayer will be materially lessened. By the time the full investment must be made, the depression will be passed. Southern California needs the aqueduct badly and at once. "You people out here are going to have a difficult time getting through the period of construction of the aqueduct without an actual water shortage, even if you start work at once," he declared. Shortage Is Inevitable "If southern California does not vote those bonds on September 29, a shortage of water is inevitable, and such a shortage would be followed by a great depreciation in property values. It would be a poor advertisement to broadcast to the world." "Los Angeles," Mr. Merriman continued, "is built upon a piece of ground much like that upon which the city of Athens is located. Life in the ancient Grecian capital practically vanished many years ago when Turkish hordes cut off the city's water supply. In recent times that supply has been resumed and life has gone back to its normal course. Importance of Water "That is illustrative," he said, "of the importance of water in a country like California. Paying the cost of water is the price you must pay for living in a semi-arid region. Just as fuel costs are the price we New Yorkers must pay for our existence. "With the money spent in New York for coal and fuel during the winter months we could build sixteen Colorado river aqueducts. On top of that the city of New York during some years pays as much as one or two million dollars to keep its streets cleared of snow." Affairs of Week at Nation's Capital (Corrrespondence to The Gazette) Washington, D.C.—Government energies are now being bent toward a solution of the unemployment situation that is expected to confront the country next winter.

The President's advisers have been working with him ever since this spring, trying to devise ways to meet this condition. Beyond question, the Administration realizes that conditions for the men out of work are going to be much harder this winter than at any time since the stock market crash two years ago. The big industrial concerns, in most instances, are faced with heavily depleted reserves, and the savings of most workers have been dissipated in supplying the family larder. As a result there is less money being held in reserve right now than at any time since the depression started. President Hoover has held many consultations with John Barton Payne, head of the Red Cross, Secretary of Labor Doak, Arthur Woods, chairman of the committee on employment, and other authorities, for the purpose of finding out what palliatives the government has with which to meet the coming condition. In addition, Mr. Hoover has spurred on those having public works in charge in an endeavor to create jobs. He has been keeping closely in touch with all plans being carried out by the various states on new public works and arranging federal plans to fit in with their projects in order that the greatest number of workers will be benefitted at the least possible cost to the taxpayers. The President has expressed his gratification at the action of the United States Steel Company in cutting dividends and letting wages stand. His friends hope that the appeal made to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., reputed owner of a majority interest in the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, will bear similar fruit. There is no question but that big business capital is taking a different attitude during this depression than it ever took in any previous panic. Previously, the first thought has always been to cut down wages. Now the big interests have come to realize that a cut in the buying power of the worker "TheSE citrus groves of ours are so consistent to earlier days that I often der... suppose I and every other citrus grower had to go it alone!

It has been suggested to the President that he convene the house in November in order to give it time to settle the long fight and its elective officers and be ready to pass the legislation desired by Mr. Hoover. The only alternative, if Congress fails to organize, is for the President to assume authority and arbitrarily extend the time for the German payments, an exercise of power that would unquestionably bring down on his head the ringing condemnation of his political opponents. For this reason there is a growing feeling that an extra session of Congress will be called in a few weeks. Swartz Brothers Open New Store Frank and Dean Swartz, Long Beach brothers, this week leased the store room at 277 East Center street and immediately began construction of shelves and necessary equipment for the opening Friday, August 28, of the Anaheim Malt and Supply company. "We will carry all lines of malts and all kinds of necessary supplies," the brothers said. "We both like Anaheim and think it has wonderful business opportunities and advantages. We intend to 'make good' on a big scale, and want to become acquainted here as quickly as possible." Hints for the Home By NANCY HART Viennese Potato Salad This calls for two cups sliced cooked potatoes, one small onion minced, one pickled beet minced, one cucumber, sliced, one herring, four sardines, one tablespoon minced boiled ham, one teaspoon salt, one-fourth teaspoon black and garnish with sweet pickles. German Potato Salad Though the potato are served cold, the salad is mixed when the potatoes are still hot. Select six medium sized potatoes. You will also need one-quarter pound lionone sandwich onion, one-quarter cup hot vinegar one-half cup hot water, two tablespoons salad oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Doll the potatoes and peel and slice while warm. Cover at once with dressing made as follows. Cut the bacon into small dice, put it in frying pan over a slow fire, add salt, hot vinegar and hot water. When the fat is light brown and the dice are well crisped, add the salad oil and pour it into the vinegar water and onion mixture—turning it slowly at first lest it splatter. Serve on crisp lettuce leaves, garnish with pickled beets. Serve at once or well chilled. Potato and Tomato Salad Pass the yolks of three hard boiled eggs through a sieve into a bowl. Season with celery salt, pepper, a dust of curry powder and a little sugar. Add two tablespoonfuls of oil, working it into the yolks of the eggs by degrees with a wooden spoon. As soon as a perfectly smooth paste is formed, pour in a dessertspoonful of vinegar. When the ingredients are thoroughly mixed add very gradually three tablespoons of thick cream and sufficient chopped parsley to give the dressing a speckled appearance. Remove the skin from some potatoes which have been boiled and allowed to get cold. Then cut them into moderately thick slices. Cut up some peeled tomatoes in a similar manner. Dress the potatoes with the egg mixture and arrange them neatly in a salad bowl. Place the slices of tomato among them and, if desired, garnish the salad here and there with pieces of fresh watercress. This is better if kept in the ice box a number of hours before serving.
