EUROPE ENJOYS AIR SERVICE AT RAILWAY COSTS Commercial Aviation Develops Rapidly in Germany. Times Special WASHINGTON, VJune 23. frequently cheaper to travel by air in Germany than it is by rail. Shipments of valuable commodities such as gold, securities and jewels are handled by German air transport at •lower rates than those of land carriers. . These statements were made to- . day by Brower York, Commerce Department transportation division, in connection with a report detailing the rapid development of commercial aviation in Europe. “Between many points in Germany,” he said, “people can hop into a plane and make the trip for less than it would cost them to travel by first-class train service. And, because of the fewer number of handlings and speed of delivery, transportation rates and insurance charges for shipments of compact valuables are lower by air than by land.” At present, according to York, the outstanding development of commercial aviation in Europe is in the direction of improved arrangements for transfer of passengers and freight between the air lines of different nations. Rapid improvement, he states, is being made in the safety and comfort of air travel. “The latest records of the companies show few accidents gjfd" fairly regular services. In mdKy instances flights are made on schedule, the percentage of regularity frequently being between 90 ( and 100 per cent.” x European air lines. York finds, are still government subsidized for “one-half to nine-tenths or more of their operating costs.” FOREMEN WILL DINE Fire Prevention Meeting of Club Called.

Colorado Threatens to Flood Million Acres of West’s Richest Garden Spot

~

Above are two views of the “first line” defenses in the Imperial Valley's fight against the Colorado River. At the left a train is shown dumping rock onto the Andrade levee; at the right a rock train is shown winding across the desert en route to a threatened point. The map shows the location of the danger point, with levees, canal and river indicated. The Imperial Valley begins near El Centro, in the uppler left-hand Corner of the map. Imperial Valley May Meet Fate of Big Mississippi Basin. El CENTRO, Cal., June 23.—A flood more disastrous in its possibilities than the Mississippi’s is threatening to sweep down on the famed Imperial Valley and inundate 1,000,000 acres of the richest land on earth. The Colorado River, fed by melted snows high up in the Rockies, is rising rapidly. Snows in the region of its source were 35 per cent heavier last winter than ordinarily. Annually the Colorado threatens the valley; this year its threat is more menacing than ever before. Sixty miles south of here, across the Mexican line, is an elaborate system of dikes and levees. If these 1 hold well and good. If they do not the Imperial Valley will become an immense, stagnant inland sea, and the garden spot of the west will be covered with water for decades to 1 come. Below Sea Level For the Imperial Valley is below sea level. When the Mississippi goes on a rampage its flood waters eventually recede. If the Colorado breaks the Lower California levees and floods she Imperial valley, its j flood waters will have no outlet. They will remain for many years—perhaps for a century—until the slow process of evaporation removes them. It is for that reason that the 60,000 farmers of region have mobilized into a desperate, grimly fighting army to repel the flood danger. They face, not temporary loss, but permanent irretrievable disaster. The first line of defense fronts the Colorado as it travels from Yuma to the Gulf of Lower CaliforLevee 32 Miles Long To begin with, there is a rockbound levee running from Andrade Itching Annoying Skin Irritations Apply Zemo.

In 1924, when the flood was not as menacing as it is this year, sev-enty-four trains of forty cars each were required to repel the rising waters. This year it will be worse.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

There are two other lines behind this one. In ca. r *> of emergency the Mexican and Chinese tenant farmers in the vicinity will be pressed into service. Once a Desert The Imperial Valley presents a< peculiar problem. Originally it was an arid desert, sixty miles from water. Then the great Alamo Canal was dug to bring water from the Colorado for irrigation. At once the Imperial Valley became rich. Without rain and without fertilizer its farmers harvest three crops a year. The value of their land is estimated at $800,000,000. Annually they sell $70,000,000 worth of crops. But the Colorado, in its course to the gulf, falls only sixty-five feet. The Imperial Valley is between 100 and 300 feet below river level. Consequently, the natural bent of the river is to fill the valley. Salton Sea, a great brackish pool covering 250.000 acres, is a memento of one outbreak. Oppose Protection The remedy? There is only one sure one. It consists in the building of the proposed Boulder Dam, which would impound the swollen waters, provide a steady course for the river and. incidentally, furnish much cheaper electric power and provide for an “all-American irrigation canal to replace the present one, which begins in Mexico. Thousands of Mexican tenant farmers below the border are benefiting by the present situation. They get free water, and the levees are cared for by the Imperial Valley men. Joined in opposition are certain electric power companies, which fear the creation of cheap power sources so close to Los Angeles.

Lowly Limburger Gains Popular Esteem Here Limburger, once the stepchild of the cheeses, is at last coming into its own in Indianapolis. No longer'the banc'of beaus and the annoyer of delicate noses, limburger has parted company with spring onions, garlic and other uncouth olfactory objectionals and become popular. The rise of the lowly limburger in Indianapolis is remarkable but easily explained, Jack Stephenson of an Alabama St. cheese firm said today. “Limburger is now pasturized, boiled again to remove the odor and done up in air-tight glass and foil packages,” Stephenson said. Always a tasty morsel, the new sniff-less limburger is now one of the biggest sellers among cheeses, dealers say. However, a dispatch from Germany, fatherland of limburger as well as sauerkraut and pigs’ knuckles, today said limburger has fallen off greatly in demand there due to anew craze for fatter cheeses and because the Germans have not yet deodorized the delicacy.

VANS SEEK TO COMBINE ROARS Commission Hears Petition of Rail Magnates. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, June 23.—The second attempt of the Van Sweringen brothers to merge their properties is before the Interstate Commerce Commission. Hearings on the petition filed Feb. 10 to merge the Chesapeake & Ohio, the Pere Marquette and the Erie railways in a 10.000-mile system were concluded by the commission late yesterday. An appeal was refused for an immediate decision to enable the C. & O. to exervise an option which expires July 1 to purchase 174.900 shares of Pere Marquette from the Nickel Plate at SI 10 a share. Nickel Plate directors have refused to extend the option because Pere Marquette now is selling for 5126, or Sl6 more. Expiration of this option within one week, lends, incidentally, anew aspect which the commission will have to take into Consideration. Ninety days were stipulated as the period within which briefs may be submitted by counsel for the railroads and opponents of the project. Then there will be another delay to permit oral arguments. It is unlikely that final presentation of the case will be concluded before Oct. 15. The commission then will lake at least another month to consider the merger, so that a decision may not be announced before Nov. 15.
