Dam at Parker Grows Rapidly Resembling a block of modernistic apartment houses, the great mass of concrete known as Parker dam is rapidly shooting skyward. Last week the top of the dam was already 100 feet above the point where the first concrete was placed on July 29, according to a telephone report received by General Manager F. E. Weymouth, of the Metropolitan Water district, from Frank Crowe, general superintendent on the construction of the dam. The 392-mile Metropolitan aqueduct will have its intake behind Parker dam and water from the Parker reservoir will be transported clear across the state of California to the 13 cities that comprise the Metropolitan Water district. Being constructed by the federal government, Parker dam is an integral part of the aqueduct project and is being built with funds supplied by the water district. Construction crews using huge steel buckets which are swung over the canyon on an overhead cableway are pouring concrete at Parker dam at the rate of 2,000 cubic yards per day. When the 100-foot mark was reached last week, more than 62,000 yards of concrete had already been placed. The completed structure will be 320 feet high and will contain 260,000 cubic yards of concrete. At the rate of progress being set at the present time, this total will be reached in February, 1938. Committee to Plan Avocado Institute A joint meeting of avocado committees from Orange and Los Angeles counties will be held next Tuesday, September 28, at the farm bureau headquarters, Orlando. New Theme for Men's Suits This Year With British Blade Feature If any man is bored with clothes this year, it will be purely his own fault, because there is enough diversity and newness in suit styles to stimulate the most dulled appetite, and all the innovations are so wearable, that all men will be pleased. Newest, and certainly the most revolutionary men's wear style to hit these shores via London's Saville Row, is the Blade model—a radically changed theme in the man's silhouette, particularly because it does away with the chiselled waistline and substitutes instead a nonchalant, easy cut that has as its aim ease and comfort. Extra fulness is gained at the shoulder blade by means of a soft drape resembling a pleat; it is carried under the arm and to the chest at front, the entire coat being longer in line, with a perfectly straight back. It is not to be expected that every well dressed man will adopt the British Blade this season—as it takes time for anything so different to be accepted. However, there is everything to commend it, and those men who are progressive about clothes will demand it immediately. In general, those suits which continue the already accepted British-American cut, subscribe to case and comfort in every instance, showing full chests, squared shoulders and broad lapels. The lounge jacket is a favorite, most often double breasted with closer placed, lower buttons. The handkerchief pocket has been moved a little to the center and an accentuated waistline effect is gained without tightening the fit. And as a point of tailoring interest—shoulders are not squared by padding, but by a strategic sinking of the shoulder line closer to the neck. The longer jacket has been found more wearable, and to give it grace, sleeves are more tapered, the lapel gorge higher, and trousers take a more definite break at the instep. So far as pocket flaps and vents are concerned—they are now reserved exclusively for semi-sport and country wear. Awards for 4-H Clubs Announced Notice has been received from Pomona fair officials of the awards in the 4-H livestock and feature booth entries. Orange county 4-H members did well in both these groups of entries. In the livestock division, Orange county members won a total of $84 in cash and were given seven first awards, one second and one third and one fifth. Among the winners were Calvin Pebley, Santon, second for junior Hampshire sow; Robert Kettler, Anaheim, first and champion for junior Hampshire boar; Glennadean Stuiliff, Anaheim, fifth for fat junior barrow, and Robert Hein, Anaheim, first for Holstein calf. In the feature booths, which were entered by seven Orange county clubs, cash awards of $82 were won. Among the winners were: Katella Farmers, A. E. Sutlift, leader, tenth; Sunkist Girls of Olive, Mrs. Anna Linnartz, leader, eleventh; Humming Birds, Mrs. F. L. Benson, twelfth in home economics division; Sandwash 4-H John Harney Horkins, leader. At the rate of progress being set at the present time, this total will be reached in February, 1938. Committee to Plan Avocado Institute A joint meeting of avocado committees from Orange and Los Angeles counties will be held next Tuesday, September 28, at the farm bureau headquarters, Orange, to draw up a program for the Annual Avocado Growers institute, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. The committees will be headed by H. B. Griswald, Los Angeles county, and H. H. Gardner, Orange county. The tentative date and location of the institute is Friday, October 29, at La Habra. Final approval and decision of the date is to be placed before the joint committee. Ford Used Car Sale to End Next Week With little more than a week remaining in the Ford dealers' used car sale, the opportunity to purchase guaranteed used cars at clearance sale savings is rapidly drawing to a close, according to E. R. McCoy, Anaheim Ford dealer. Results to date locally indicate that this second annual Ford dealer used car event will prove an equally outstanding success as last year's sale, he said. On the basis of incomplete reports, used car sales so far this month indicate that the 100,000 car goal set nationally by the Ford Motor company may be even surpassed if sales remain as active the last week as they have been during the first three weeks of this clearance.

LAW OBSERVANCE— BOISE, Idaho — Roused a few minutes after 3 a.m. by a newsboy who had noticed a pile of straw burning in a corral, Boise firemen last week raced to the scene, found flames licking at a barn belonging to the Myron Jacobs Riding academy, where swank Boiseans stable their horses. But the riding academy is 25 feet outside the city limits, and a Boise ordinance forbids the fire department to fight fires outside the city. Since they could get no compensation if injured, the Boise firemen decided to sit down and watch the fire instead of trying to put it out. From engines and a pump wagon parked on the city's side of Reserve street, the center of which is Boise's exact boundary, the fire men called out advice to scores of non-professional fire fighters who were doing their best to battle the growing conflagration on the other side. Only animals in the Jacobs barns were seven saddle horses, valued at from $1,000 to $3,000 each, including a five-gaited, Kentucky bred stallion named Lady's Man, a favorite mount of Senator William E. Borah. To bystanders' appeals for axes to help get the horses out, the firemen quick-wittedly turned a deaf ear, well knowing that insurance on their equipment was void if the equipment was damaged outside Boise. While the horses burned to death in screeching agony, Boise's firemen played their hose on a telegraph pole across the street from the fire, to protect it from the flames. With five barns burned to the ground and damages totaling about $40,000, Boise's Mayor J. L. Billett said it felt to see popular entertainers are not made of flesh and blood. They are a number of two-dimensional creatures whose native haunts are the animated cartoons. As every cinemaddict knows, the thousands of hand-drawn pictures that go to make up one of these cartoons are the work of many hands. Last May, at Manhattan's Max Fleischer studios "Poyeye," "Betty Boop," "Screen Songs," "Color Classics" 76 members of the Commercial Artists and Designers union threw in their hands, went on strike. Said one of their picketing placards: "We can't get much spinach on salaries as low as $15." Employer Max Fleischer whose Popeye does most of his heroic feats on spinach alone, hired other help, refused to accede to strikers demands. All summer the strike dragged on, marked only by such minor incidents as an abortive attempt by picketers to float propaganda balloons up past the studio windows, by the arrest of a few female strikers on such charges as shin-kicking, biting a police sergeant in the arm. In metropolitan theatres loud - lunged clauses greeted the appearance of Fleischer cartoons with resounding boos. Fortnight ago C. A. D. U. announced that 13 cinema theatres, had banned cinema Fleischers cartoons pending settlement of the strike. Attorneys for Paramount pictures, Fleischer distributor, promptly denied it. Fact was that some theatres had indeed banned the Fleischer cartoons, other had temporarily dropped them to keep their audience quiet. Meantime both sides settled down to a finish fight. Paramount and Max Fleischer continued to ignore the strikers as best they could; the strikers continued to picket Max Fleischer's studio, singing their own words to a well-known tune: "We're Popeye the union man, boop boop! We'll fight to the finish 'eause we likes our spinch; We're Popeye the union..." be even surpassed if in as active the last they have been during the weeks of this clearance. the firemen quick-wittedly turned a deaf ear, well knowing that insurance on their equipment was void if the equipment was damaged outside Boise. While the horses burned to death in screeching agony, Boise's firemen played their hose on a telegraph pole across the street from the fire, to protect it from the flames. With five barns burned to the ground and damages totaling about $40,000, Boise's Mayor J. L. Edlefsen declared: "I fail to see what the department could have done." Said Fire Chief W. E. Foster: "It was as hard for our firemen as anyone else to watch those animals burn to death."
