The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine (Continued from Page 1) voted on the Ludlow resolution calling for a national referendum before declaring war. Result: the resolution, brought up at the height of the "Panay" crisis, was sent back to committee, presumably to stay by a vote of 209 to 188. NEW DEAL CHORUS— WASHINGTON—At 36 Jackson day dinners held all over the U.S. on the seventh president's birthday last week, Democrats raised $400,-000 to wipe out their party's deficit and New Deal spokesmen let out a chorus of oratory matchless in volume. In Washington Franklin Delano Roosevelt adroitly echoed the anti-monopoly remarks made a fortnight ago by Interior Secretary Iekes and Assistant Attorney General Robert H. Jackson. Excerpts: "It has been estimated that there are outstanding some $13,000,000,000 of electric utility securities and that the substantial control of this total is vested in the hands of the owners of less than $600,000,000 of the total. That means that the ownership of about 4%. Here is a 96-inch dog being wagged by a four-inch tail. I have recently described many other activities that should not be tolerated in our democracy—price rigging, unfair competition directed against the little man, and monopolistic practices of many kinds. Give to me and give to your government the credit for a definite intention to eradicate A principal speaker at New York city's Jackson day dinner was New York's Governor Lehman. Considerably farther removed from the New Deal than he was before he objected to the president's plan to enlarge the supreme court last summer, Governor Lehman delivered a speech which represented counterpoint rather than close harmony in the oratorical chorus. Its strongest note: "A political party, like government itself, must be the servant of the people, not their master. It must be . . . open-minded but not visionary, courageous but not impulsive, progressive but not impractical." PORTRAIT— WASHINGTON — In Franklin Roosevelt's second-floor study a seascape which has long hung above the presidential chair was last week replaced by a full-length life-sized portrait of John Paul Jones, whose most famed words were "I've just begun to fight." CARLO AFTER ITALY— GENEVA, Switzerland — With typical League of Nations tact, Carlo, the League's Italian bartender at Geneva, has always kept all bottles of intoxicants under his counter to avoid offending the eyes of dry delegates. He has served tea to Roumania's Titulescu, orangeade to Russia's Litvinoff, whiskey and splash to Britain's Eden — all with equal cheerfulness. Although Italy's response from the league anpremises which all good Fac now despise. AUTOMATIC SENTENCE— SALAMANCA, Spain—In writing a dictator to get her husband out of his clutches. Southern California’s Conquest of Drought Installing a huge steel manifold in a Metropolitan Aqueduct pumping plant. The steel sphere is 20 feet in diameter. (Note: Between 1920 and 1930, the population of the South Coastal Basin increased 57 per cent, an increase of 1,406,000 people. At the same time, industrial development was increasing three times as fast as the population. Both factors created a drain on underground local water reserves which resulted in an overdraft of 200 million gallons of water per day. Instead of getting their water from free flowing wells, the various communities in the area received Cortez, in the plundering of Mexico, found the mouth of the river in the Gulf of California in the fall of 1540. About the same time one of Francisco Coronado’s exploratory parties discovered the river near the Grand Canyon and followed it south to its mouth. Neither Alarcon nor Coronzo’s man, one Diaz by name, had any use for the river other than the hope that it would lead them to the Seven Cities of Cibola, Cortez, Conqueror of Mexico, had heard that some premises which all good Factors now despise. AUTOMATIC SENTENCE— SALAMANCA, Spain—In writing a dictator to get our husband out of his clutches, first rule is to keep quiet success is complete. U. S. Airl Harold (“Whitey”) Dahl, captain of Rightists while fighting for Leftists, sentenced to death then reprieved, had reason to week to wish his wife had bursted: “I used on Gen Franco all the sob technique learned in my years on the stage. In appealing by letter to Frate to save Whitey, Mrs. Dahl ended a picture of her handsome in a low-cut evening dress, and ward claimed to have received reply in which the general wished our obedient servant keep your foot.” To General Franco, who married man, this may have pledged embarrassing. While H. Dahl has worked up in a weeks from a Riviera night to one in Paris, Whitey has mained in custody at Salamanca Suddenly last week the gen headquarters announced that man Dahl’s reprieve was no pardon, as had been thought an “aquatic sentence to imprisonment.” “NO ADMITTANCE”— ANDORRA—The hoary, leer faced council members’ first syndic (president) of the 190-sq. mi. territory of Ande, world’s oldest republic next atop the Pyrenees between Spain and France, gathered in so conclave last week to do whether to admit to their coach—a tough-mugged gentleman styled himself Alex Abril Sikorski, alias “Kid Tiger”, time trigger man for Gangstha Capone. Meantime, at the French der village of Bourg-Madagascar, Sikorski offered to build An inhabitants. Informed by Furustics that he could not get Andorra through the mountains, buried 20 feet under drifts, he sported: “If I had (Note: Between 1920 and 1930, the population of the South Coastal Basin increased 57 per cent, an increase of 1,406,000 people.

Both factors created a drain on underground local water reserves which resulted in an overdraft of 200 million gallons of water per day. Instead of getting their water from free flowing wells, the various communities in the area are now pumping water from 100 to 600 feet. This is the fourth of a series of articles about the Colorado River Aqueduct.) In 1923, the handwriting on the wall was clear, and once more the City of Los Angeles set about to import additional water. This time, William Mulholland—twenty years older, and using an automobile instead of a buckboard—headed east across the desert instead of north. To the east lay the Colorado River, and it was toward this river that Mulholland directed his surveys because it offered the only available source of water not already fully appropriated. With its headwaters high in the Rocky Mountains in northern Colorado and the headwaters of the Green River, its principal tributary, 200 miles farther north in Wyoming, the Colorado is fed by the melting snows of the western Rocky Mountain watershed, covering a total area of 245,000 square miles. It is the third longest river in the United States, having a length of 1,650 miles. On its long journey from the Rockies to the Gulf of California it gouges out the chasms of the Grand Canyon, forms part of the boundaries of three of the western states, a part of the international boundary between Mexico and the United States, and finally the boundary between two of the states of northern Mexico. Discovered nearly a hundred years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, the "Red" river bore a series of names based on the hopes of those who tried to fathom its mysteries. Hernando Alarcon, a lieutenant of Mendoza, who succeeded Cortez in the plundering of Mexico, found the mouth of the river in the Gulf of California in the fall of 1540. About the same time one of Francisco Coronado's exploratory parties discovered the river near the Grand Canyon and followed it south to its mouth. Neither Alarcon nor Coronado's man, one Diaz by name, had any use for the river other than the hose that it would lead them to the Seven Cities of Cibola. Cortez, Conqueror of Mexico, had heard that somewhere "to the north" lay a region of fabulous wealth—Seven Cities, their houses built of solid gold, their streets paved with precious jewels. Mendoza, following the attempts of Cortez to find and sack the Seven Cities of Cibola, dispatched two parties, a land party headed by Coronado and a second group to go by water and led by Alarcon. Alarcon, thinking the river would lead him to wealth, chose to call it "The River of Good Guidance." Diaz, more skeptical after footsore months across the burning southwestern deserts, named it "The Firebrand River"—"Rio del Tison." Later, Spanish Padres knew it as "The River of Good Hope," and after they had found death on its banks they renamed it again as "The River of Martyrss." Two hundred years after Alarcon, Father Garces gave it the name of "El Rio Colorado"—"The Red River," because of the reddish color of its water during the summer flood season. Until the construction of Boulder Dam, these same summer floods threatened on many an occasion to revert the name once more to "The River of Martyrss." A river of extremes, it varied in the quantity of water it carried from a low of 2,000 cubic feet per second to 200,000 cubic feet per second in its roaring floods. In 1906 one such flood broke its banks and poured into the Imperial Valley to form the Salton Sea—a dead sea covering to this day an area of 50,000 acres of land which cannot be drained because it is 250 feet below sea level.

So she kept carpenters busy for 38 years constructing the weirdest house in America, an intricate maze of 144 rooms, miles of corridors, gold and silver fixtures, stairways leading nowhere, trapdoors, and blank walls! But she died! ELEETCARS ON ELEVATORS Depart are the streets in Cincinnati that even the street cars ride down the hills on elevators.

"Dry Ice"—hold that teaching it with your hand gives you a first-degree burn—leads from hot gas from wells in deserts near Salton Sea, California, where temperatures skyrocket to very heights. WASHINGTON SNAPSHOTS There's a clause in the farm bill that is going to create some pretty perplexing situations if it ever becomes a law. In so many words it says, for instance, that if a farmer's chicken eats grass or grain from land "retired" (taken out of production by crop-control orders) any eggs laid by that chicken cannot be sold. If any crop grown on forbidden lands, such as grass or grain or beans is fed to livestock or poultry, says the clause, then "such poultry or livestock or the products thereof" must be consumed by the farmer's family, employees or household, and must not be sold. Farmer Jones, therefore, is going to have a pretty tough time of it keeping his pigs, chickens, etc., legally fit for the market. A chicken that has nibbled a grasshopper in the forbidden fields, or a pig that has been tainted by eating roots from the same land, can have but one legal destination—Farmer Jones' table, or that of his employees or household. We can imagine that Farmer Jones and his "family, employees and household" are going to get mighty tired of fried chicken, eggs, pork chops, etc. There has been some public discussion lately about how the post office wouldn't have such a big deficit if newspapers and magazines paid full postage rates. A lot of things are being overlooked. Among them is that the government itself mailed out without any postage 73,000,000 more pieces of literature—called "propaganda" by some—last year than it did the year before. Referring to this and other federal publicity appropriations, the house means while the taxpayer fortunate enough to have a guy who gets stuck.

RAIN MAN— WASHINGTON — "America's farmers," said a United Press dispatch from Washington last week. "need not worry about another serious drought until 1975." Reason: Dr. Charles Greeley Abbot. Dr. Abbot, a gray, kind-looking man with a conspicuous mustache, is the secretary (i.e. head of the Smithsonian Institution), a distinguished authority on the sun, a longtime observer of variations in solar radiation. Dr. Abbot believes that on solar radiation depend temperature and precipitation on earth. He has found in the solar variations a number of periodicities which fit into a 23-year cycle and an even more important cycle of 46 years. Matching the cycles with actual weather records has provided, he declares, partial confirmation. Testifying last week on the Smithsonian's budget needs before a house appropriations sub-committee, he gave it as his opinion that the U.S. is emerging from a drought period which began about 1930. "We are, I believe, on the verge of recovery from the drought of the last 46-year period," said Dr. Abbott. "We have no expectation of another one of such great consequence until 1975, although there will be a minor one during the decade 1950-60."

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH "Truth" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all Christian Science Churches, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. The Golden Text is from the Scientist Finds Traces of Original Camino Real On Coastal Exploration Having completed a 600-mile walk along the original Camino Real route between Los Angeles and Somona, Johns Harrington has just returned to Los Angeles with important discoveries concerning the ancient highway and kind words anent California hospitality. Early in November Harrington started from Los Angeles to rediscover the original road, abandoned and forgotten when the missions were secularized over a century ago. His trip was sponsored by Westways, official publication of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Harrington encountered many difficulties on his journey, frequently across open country or along unfrequented roads. Residents came to his aid in hospitable, old-California fashion. Near Jolon rain overtook him far from any human habitation. Two ranch employees whom he had met many miles back drove after him in their car and took him miles farther to a hotel. Later other willing motorists drove him back to where he had discontinued his walk. Harrington claims to have discovered several traces of the genuine Camino Real in widely-scattered locations. He also found indications of old stage roads which undoubtedly followed the original padres' trail. Among interesting historical relics found were the remains of the Santa Margarita Asistencia of Mission San Luis Obispo.

The Golden Text is from the Psalms: "Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth." A Scriptural citation in the Lesson-Sermon presents these verses from the Proverbs: "He that speaketh truth shewth forth righteousness; but a false witness deceit." The lip of truth shall be established forever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment. LORD: but they that deal truly are his uelight." One of the correlative passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states "Right and wrong, truth and error, will be at strife in the minds of students, until victory rests on the side of invincible truth." Honesty is spiritual power. Dishonesty is human weakness, which forfeits divine help. Main Corner One-Half Now!
