Hoover has tried to do much within the last year, but there is still a lot of talk about farm relief, tariff and prohibition. His predecessor, Calvin Coolidge, let most of these problems slide along and political writers are now referring to him as "lucky Coolidge.” It's too early to judge the accomplishments of the Hoover administration, but the first year's record seems to have left much dissatisfaction throughout the country. Americans are willing to give the president a fair chance. — — Fornier Governor Alfred E. Smith's pronunciation of “radio" with a short "a" was endorsed recently by Nathan Haskell Dole, author and translator of the works of Tolstoy. In a letter received at Mr. Smith's office Here Mr. Dole., who signed himself “a transplant-1 ed Bostonian,” and now lives at 525 West 238th Street, Riverdale, wrote. "In the Latin word 'radius' the 'a' is short, as is proved by a line in Ovid's Fasti, where it appears as 'radio' in the ablative case. 'Consequently, the pronunciation rad i o, which you made famous in one of your speeches, must be regarded as correct. In the same way the English word ‘progress,’ which you represent, should always be progress and not progress. Unfortunately, the popular pionuuciation of many English words is technically wrong. There seems to be no more sense in 'raydio' than there would be in changing rad-i-cal to ‘raydical’.”— New Y’ork Times. 0 * « Modern Etiquette | By ROBERTA LEE ♦ ( U .fj * Q.

SAN FRANCISCO PURCHASES BIG WATER SYSTEM

Business Mo v e Entails $120,000,000 Capital Investment By Vincent Mahoney (United Press Staff Correspondent) San Francisco, March 3 —(UP) — The city of San Francisco plunged into the water business today on a 1120,000,000 scale. Private ownership of a system of ■ eservoirs and conduits necessary to water development ended when .Mayor James Rolph, Jr., passed to Samuel Kastman, president of the company, the city’s check 'for s4l ,- 000,000 in payment for the propsrties of the Spring Valley Water Company; and the last obstacle in the way of Crordination of the Spring Valley system with the mu-nicipally-undertaken Hetcb Hetchy project was removed. City engineers have promised that as a result of the combination of the storage and conduit properties of the two enterprises, within three years theie will be enough water for every industrial and domestic need of the city of eight millions. ' The acquisition of the Spring Valley system has been urged for 20 years, in which period San Francisco and its environs more than ouc« faced water shortage. The main reservoir of the Hutch Hetchy system is located 190 miles northeast hi the high Sierras; that pi the Spring Valley system 111 miles east in the foothills of the Coast Range. One of the last large cities to emerge from private awneruhip of water, San Francisco voted the bond issue at the 1928 election after the measure had been defeated three times previously. The bonds were bought at par oy A. B Gianninni, West Coast capitalist, acting tor Transamerica Corporation. They will be retired at the .ate of $1,000,000 a year. After inter est, depreciation and maintenance nave been deducted and the salary jcal? iit'.ed to a parity with analogous positions in Other city department*, it is estimated that there will remain a net profit of from $1,300, JOO, to $1,500,000 a year. Conceived and constructed separately from the city’s other water project. Hetch Hetchy, the Spring Valley system is nevertheless related in many ways. The two pipe lines intersect om-the east shore of San Francisco bay, so that in time either may be tapped to feed storage reservoirs within the city. Considered Jogether, the two will -form a system ippresenting an investment of $120,000,000. i “congress "today > (U.R) « Senate: Cons ders tariff on long staple cotton.

NEW ORLEANS < MAKES MERRY IN MAHDI CHAS Week of Revelry Will Be Climaxed Tomorrow by Tolling Bells Hy Jane Hunter Holloway United Press Spe Correspondent New Orleans, March 3—(UP) - Hard! Gras, the greatest carnival in the country, will reach its climax here tomorrow. The magic word "Mardi Gras has come to mean playtime, ami socially prominent Orleanians have been making merry in one week of unrestrained revelry. As the days became warmer and he palms lining the avenues began showing a brighter green the whole city began making ready to play the pait of a charming hostess to thousands of people from all over the country who are here to see this century-old celebration.

Each year has seen a more elaboLit-? cenr-m-e-m-arsifen -of the-- Jay when a group of creole youths just back from school in Paris, bent on giving the city a thrill marched through the narrow winding streets of New Orleans. That was in 1827. The youths probably took the idea from a similar carpival given in Paris. Undoubtedly the name Mardi Gras, meaning Fat Tuesday, was derived from the custom of these French youths of heading their parade with a fat ox. While the elaborate balls of the carnival organizations still are linr? ed to the socially prominent resisdents of'New Orleans, and a scattering of visitors, folks in all other walks of life join in the merrymak ing on the streets and with small parties at home. Great crowds pack St. Charles avenue, and broad old Canal s.reet to see the huge floats, gorgeous costumes and novel entertainment offered by the present-day maskers, as they parade to tire Auditorium for their festivities. The cost of these parades, which precede the balls eight night, runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars. Almost the entire cost of the celebration is carried by the private carnival organization. Os course the hotels, taxi companies, and faces reap a great harvest. S. P. Walmsely. father of T. Semmes Walmsley, mayor of New Orleans. for 5U years has been one of the guiding t'oices of Mardi Gras In 1890. when he was 34 years of age h' was chosen Carnival King This year, with the spirit of youth as predominant as ever before, he was a leader in the secret meetings held to make the plans for the cele bration. Leigh Carroll is another old tinier who has seen years of service io Mardi Gras. The organization of Rex chooses the King and Queen of Carnival, who reign supreme over the king dotn of joy which is created at this time. The names of these sovereigns hosen from the cream of New Orleans society, are kept secret until Mardi Gras day when they are announced through the newspapers. Their expensive and gorgeous costumes have been in the making for months and their crowns and sceptres are often made especially for the event by well-known jewelers of Europe. The first of the Mardi Gras balls was held January 6 by the Twelfth Night Revelers apd other balls were given at periods during January and February. , The seasbn proper, however, openad Thursday night, February 27, when members of Mounts led a colorful parade over winding St. Charles avenut to the auditorium where a grand ball was given for some 400 carefully picked guests. The final parades will be ou Mar di Gras day, toworrow, when the organizations of Comus and Rex. lead their parades through the streets and finally retire for their private pageants and dances. All revelry, tradition dictates, suddenly stops when the chimes of old St. Louis Cathedral sound over the city, proclaiming/ the arrival of tent. Serious thoughts then take the place of gaiety, which has reign ed supreme during tire entire festival.
