JSGerman records published after the war showed 36 of her U-boats “sunk by mines but the Allies have always contended that the correct figure was 44. The Allies had two main and many smaller mine fields in the last war. One 70,000-mine barrier completely blocked the North Sea from the Shetland Island to Norway. Another, slightly larger, barred the entrance to the English Channel from the North Sea with a huge rectangle of mines from Ostende to the mouth of the Thames River. Modern mines contain. 400 pounds of high explosive, as did those used

This agency is the Bureau of Re-|

\ Coulee Follows Boulder The Bureau built Boulder Dam,

“I guess there just isn’t room for [one and one-third times as bulky as the Great Pyramid. Hardly had].

Boulder gone into operation when Grand Coulee was , and Grand Coulee will contain two and one-half times as much concrete as Boulder.

Last month a record was set

which may last for centuries. The}

contractor at Grand Coulee reported to the bureau that his men poured 530,584 cubic yards of concrete in October. This is far above any previous record anywhere. That much| concrete, in a shaft the size of a baseball ‘diamond, would tower 1800 feet. At that speed a Great Pyra-

mid could be poured in six months.

Then there is Shasta Dam. Fifteen years ago Shasta, now being

built on the Central Valley: project

in California, would have been an

eighth wonder of the world but today it is just another dam.

It will take six million cubic yards of concrete, will be higher than Grand Coulee, will store four and one-half-million acre-feet of water.

46 States Contribute

With works now under way Or planned or completed, the bureau will have provided storage capacity to hold back nearly 70-million acre-

feet of water. If a dike weré built|

around Rhode Island, and that much water poured in, the would be 100 feet deep.

The bureau is one of industry's :

largest customers, ‘since its usual practice is to buy materials and let its contracts for construction only. Forty-six states contributed to| Boulder Dam. Investment in present irrigation | works in the West, public and private, now totals some $1,200,000,000, of which two-thirds is private. When Uncle Sam gets done, the total is expected to be about two billion dollars. About 20 million acres are now prepared to receive water from public or private systems. As a byproduct, the Federal projects can produce nearly six million primary horsepower of electrical energy, 2,400,000 of it at Grand Coulee.

NYA LEADERS FROM 22 STATES TO MEET
