MILLIONS WILL BE SPENT FOR CITIES’ WATER Aqueduct 290 Miles Long Will Tap Reservoir of Boulder Dam. r,n Fcr(f>r>*-TTnirarrl \pir*nnrier AlUnnce LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11.—Racing against the future danger of a water shortage, eleven southern California cities are beginning a survey to prepare for the most colossal domestic water project of engineering history. Tills will be to tap the Boulder Dam reservoir with an aqueduct 290 miles long, carrying more than 1,000,000-acre feet of water over mountains and desert to the populous Los Angeles area and costing upwards of $250,000,000. The proposed aqueduct will be fifty miles longer than Los Angeles’ present Ovens Valley “ditch.” Next month three engineers for the metropolitan water district will set forth to make a gomplete survey. Already engineers under William Mulholland have spent upward of $2,000,000 on the route. Their survey will be rushed, so that by the time Boulder Dam is started the aqueduct may be building simultaneously. So far only eleven cities are members of the “M. W. D.” They are Anaheim, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Colton, Glendale, Pasadena, San Bernardino Santa Ana, San Marino and Santa Monica. Later other cities such as San Diego, Long Beach and Riverside may join. The project, when finished in about eight years, will care for 8,000,000 population, four times the present. Los Angeles, with its fast-growing population, realizes the danger of delay in preparing for the future. She has spent $15,000,000 in Owens valley, buying up farms, and is prepared to spend $10,000,000 more to buy up the towns. By “careful management” this supply will allow for normal growth of southern California cities for the next eight years, when, it is hoped, the new supply w'ill be available. POWER EXPERTS MEET World Conference at Berlin Will Attract Large Delegations. BERLIN, Oct. 11.—The opening of the world power conference, to be attended by representatives of fortyseven nations, will take place here from June 16 to June 25, 1930. Subjects to be discussed by the nations attending are: Power distribution and utilization: power resources of the world; water power, and fuels. It is possible to make a worm live twenty times longer than it would otherwise have done by repeated process of starvation.

SHAW HAS VERY BIG IDEA THIS TIME Dudley Digges Gives a Magnificent Performance of Andrew Undershaft in ‘Major Barbara’ at English’s. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN BERNARD SHAW in "Major Barbara” has a more serious problem than he had in “Pygmalion.” He has always seemed to me to be more serious with life and himself in “Barbara” than on other occasions. Shaw mixes up religion to save souls and cannon to slaughter men and even to fight war with cannon in “Major Barbara.” Last night English's, the New York Theatre Guild gave us its conception of the problem that Shaw dishes out in “Major Barbara," There is a serious idea back of all the talk while Shaw is exhibiting his many subjects and airing his ideas.

I don’t pretend to know what it is all about in "Major Barbara” because each individual on seeing this play will have his own confused thoughts. Shaw still pokes fun at politics, the church, love and even cannon making but he is serious. There are some gay laughs present but he goes into definite characterization. The thing we are most concerned with just now is not the merits of Shaw but the cast that is doing “Major Barbara.” The outstanding characterization in ‘Major Barbara” is the work of Dudley Digges as Andrew Undershaft, the cannon manufacturer who sells cannons to anybody just as long as they want ’em. Digges gives us such a towering and plausible characterization that Shaw does not worry one with his long speaches and his rather conflicting opinions. The Andrew of Digges Is very un- i derstandable and in less capable I

An Ailing CHILD

Are you prepared to render first aid and quick comfort the moment your youngster has an upset of any sort? Could you do the right thing—immediately—though the emergency came without warning—perhaps tonight? Castoria is a mother's standby at such times. There is nothing like it in emergencies, and nothing better for everyday use. For a sudden attack of colic, or the gentle relief of constipation; to allay a feverish condition, or to soothe a fretful baby that can’t sleep. This pure vegetable preparation isalways ready to ease an ailing youngster. It is just as

hands It would just be another piece of acting. Digges brings a definite understanding to the role and this actor throws a lot of light upon a rather disturbing character in the play. The Barbara of Frieda Inescort is a definite creation. She is able to depict the conflicting thoughts between the poverty of religion and the poverty of life. I rather think that she plays the role as it should be played. Then we have the Adolphus Cusins of Elliot Cabot. Sometimes he still has the habit of Mrs. Fiske of not talking distinctly but he is always in character. Nice work with that one exception. Percy Waram is Bill Walker. You will remember his work in the second act. Splendid. Jane Wheatley gave a splendid reading of Lady Undershaft, with the exception of a slip in the first few minutes of the first act. You can purchase “Major Bar-

harmless as the recipe on the wrapper reads. If you see Chas. H. Fletcher’s signature, it is genuine Castoria. It is harmless to the smallest infant; doctors will tell you so. You can tell from the recipe on the wrapper how mild it is, and how good for little systems. But continue with Castoria until a child is grown.

They are cut so as to allow about four inches to overlap the top of puttee. When the wearer sits they do not get baggy at the knee in the same way as do trousers. Hot weather brought on this form of dress.

SMUGGLING OF j ALIENS GROWS -i 300 More Agents Asked by Immigration Bureau. i Bu Brriuwi-Hoicnrd Keicspaocr AUinncr WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—Con- | gress will be asked to provide funds | for employing 300 additional immiI gratlon inspectors, Immigration ; Commissioner Harry E. Hull an- : nounced today on returning from a Canadian border inspection tour. Hull said it is planned not only to augment the immigration patrols on the Canadian and Mexican borders, but to inaugurate an entirely new force to decrease smuggling at .mportant seaports. “A force to search all large incoming vessels for stowaways is needed and should be established,” Hull said. ‘‘For New York alone the department should have a force of at least twenty men to detect alien smug-

gling attempts and smaller forces are needed at every port on both coasts where large vessels come in.” Hull said that the great increase in good roads and consequent additional automobile travel has added to the smuggling problem.
