LAHE DESCRIBES VALUE OF DAM TO UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON. Oct. 14. At the reQuest of the Internationa! News Service, the Department of tBe Interior, Franklin D. Lane, Secretary, has prepared the following statement showing the importance to the United States of the great Elephant Butte Dam irrigation project dedicated today: "The dedication of Elephant Butte Dam marks an important epoch In the development of what is prohably the oldest agrlcujtural section in our country. This structure, blocking a canyon of the Rio Grande 120 miles north of El Paso, Texas is the greatest storage dam in, the world. It Is of rubble concrete, massive In proportions, and Its construction within a period of five years is regarded as a distinct achievement by the engineering profession. From the lowest point in the foundation to the top of the parapet wall its height Is 318 feet. On top, including sDlllwavs. it is 1.674 feet long, and pro

vides a roadway 16 feet wide across the canyon. At the base the dam is 3235 feet thick. Its contents are 610,000 cubic yards and its weight is about 1,000,000 tons. "Among the five Imposing dams constructed by the Reclamation Services (Arrowrock 348 feet high, Shoshone 328 feet high, Roosevelt 284 feet high, and Pathfinder 218 feet high) the Elephant Butte dam ranks third in height and first in volume and in the f-'-icity of its reservoir. In respect to the storages created by It the dam ranks first in the world. - The reservoir is a lake 45 miles long, average depth 65 feet and with a shore line of 200 miles. It stores the entire flood and normal flow of the Rio Grande, whirh drains 30,000 square miles of territory above it. When full it will contain 115 billion cubic feet of water, or sufficient to cover 2,642,292 acres a foot deep. Work Began In 1911 "Actual laying of the dam began in 191 1 after a bypass of flums had been corstructed which turned the river around one ide of the excavation. For a year or mere men worked from 80 to 1)C feet below the river bed. conutantlv in danger of sudden floods.

Without a mishap, the foundation was brought above the danger line, after which the work was prosecuted vigoruously. "Preliminary to actual construction tho Government laid out a town equipped with modern conveniences, such ns eleclrh: light, water and sewerage fyptems, stores, schools, hospital, hof's. Y. M. O. A., and motion picture lt.rr.trc. It was a c'.ty of 4,000 inhabitant's at timer., r.rd entirely under the Jurisdiction of the engineers. Railway 13 miles in length, through exececdingly rcuph country was constructed to connect the camp with a main line railroad. Over the Government line hundreds of thousands of tons of cement,

machinery, materials and supplies were carried. "The dam reservoir are the largest features of a very elaborate irrigation system designated to water 105,000 acres of land embraced in four valleys lying below the storage basin. For each of these valleys a diversion dam and main canals are being constructed. About 16,000 acres of these lands are In New Mexico and Texas, the balance being in old Mexico in the vicinity of Juarez. , ."The general elevation of the irrigable area Is 3,700 feet above the sea level, and the climate Is mild and equable throughout the year. Temperature ranges from zero to 100 degrees above, and the rainfall is about 10 inches annually. Soils are fertile alluvium and sandy loam, producing large yields of alfalfa, corn, wheat, melons, fruits, and vegetables. Dairying and stock raising are profitable industries. "More than one-half of the irrigable lands on the project are today in a virgin state, but only a small acreage is public domain.- Homeseekers, however, will find excellent opportunities to purchase. In order to safeguard set

tlers from speculators the two water users" associations, comprising all the

land owners, are co-operating with the Reclamation Service of Washington in a general plan of settlement. There is room here for 1,000 new families.

tution for tuberculosis recently labelled itself as a "tubercular sanatorium," It not only indicated that the sanatorium was sick but it was sick with something resembling tuberculosis. The adjective tubercular" should be used very infrequently. The word "tuberculosis" the bulletin holds, may be used correctly as an adjective, modifying sanatorium, hospital, nurse, etc This is in accord with the common usage of such phrases as "typhoid hospital," "smallpox infirmary," etc. Tuberculosis" may also be used, as it commonly is, as a noun, but the use of tuberculous" or "tubercular" aa nouns . without a modifying definite article, "the,", is extremely doubtful. ; '' Since the anti-tuberclosis campaign 'is developing with such great rapidity The National Assosciation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, is urging all newspapers and other publications, as well as Its own affiliated associations to make proper use of the

words "tuberculosis," "tuberculous" !

and "tubercular."

TRIES TO END NEUTRAL WORK FOR BELGIANS

LONDON, Oct. 14. According to advices received here from Berlin, Count Reventlow is conducting a furious agitation in his newspaper, the Deutsches Tageezeitung, to end neutral relief for the Belgians. ' The idea that American assistance, now given to Belgium, should be extended to Belgium stirs bim to fury. He says: "Get rid at one stroke, of American and. other ' relief works.' We know these neutral officials from. our experience of the situation created in , the Western occupied territories by the introduction of the American Fund Re

lief Commission. " We must insist up- f on the nonsensical character of sug-' gestlon that In the middle of this great struggle a neutral power and such a . neutral power as the United States of America who have always stood politlcally in the camp of the enemies who seek to destroy us should be permitted to exercise even a shadow of 'control in the territories occupied by Germany and in consequence in Ger- , many itself. The noxious character of such a situation is evident. "The situation which Great Britain is trying to bring about through the agency of the United States in the territories occupied by us hampers and injures the German people in its struggle for existence. This is true both of the so-called American 'control and of the utterly absurd suggestion and claim that the population of the occu pied territories has a right to be treated and fed in a different way from the German people."

SOCIETY BULLETIN SHOWS DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN 2 WORDS

Distinctions between the words "tubercular," "tuberculous" and "tuberculosis" when used as adjectives are pointed out by the National Assoscia

tion for the Study and Prevention or Tuberculosis, in a bulletin issued today. Of the various words used to designate some phase or other of the tuberculosis movement, says the bulletin, the word "tubercular" is most frequently misapplied. The term "tubercular" may be used correctly only to describe conditions resembling tubercles, but not necessarily caused by the tubercle bacillus, the germ of tuberculosis. Thus, say a certain individual is tubercular, he really indicates that the nersnn has a disease process manifes

ting itself by tubercles or little lumps, but it is not necessarily tuberculosis. To say that the person has tuberculosis, tho adjective "tuberculous" is the correct word. It refers directly to diseased conditions caused by the tubercle bacillus. Thus, when an insti-

These latest Overland developments again emphasize the enormous

economy of enormous production. 1,000 a day of cars of this size and class is more than double the production of any other manufacturer. 1000 cars a day permit the use of materials of a much higher quality. 1000 cars a day permit many additional manufacturing economies; many additional purchase savings. 1000 cars a day enforce an accuracy of , workmanship which smaller productions of cars in the same price range neither permit nor require. 1000 cars a day make possible better, larger, much more comfortable cars than have ever before been possible at anywhere near these prices.

The newest Overland is the largest Four ever offered for so low a price.?

In the first place, note the longer wheel base 112 inches. The en bloc 35 horsepower motor which has made the Overland famous is continued. True it is perfected even more and now it is a fitting climax of the experience obtained from a quarter of . a million of these Overland motors in daily use. , Shock absorbing cantilever type rear springs are a big and important improvement. The gasoline tank placed in the rear , is another improvement. The vacuum system insuring a steady, even gasoline flow at all times is still another improvement. The famous and complete AutoLite electric starting and lighting equipment is furnished. All electric switches are on the . steering column right within reach.

The artistically designed streamline body with one-piece cowl makes this car one of America's most attractive models. Yet the price of this, our greatest four cylinder value, is less than any car of its size ever sold for before $795. No less a pace-maker is the newest Overland Six. Here is the Six of Sixes ! A snappy five, passenger, long stroke 40 horsepower model easy to handle, light, economical, mighty comfortable, having all the advantages of higher priced sixes, yet it comes absolutely complete at a lower price than any other Six of its size. , . . Its smart body design is long and low having lines of artistic simplicity.

And the motor! This will warn, the heart of every six cylinder enthusiast in the country. You've heard all about fast getaways smoothness crawling and climbing on high. This Six does all that and then some ! The wheel base is 116 inches. It has the cantilever springs and evenflow vacuum system with the gas tank in rear. 1 The tires are four-inch. It has the complete Auto-Lite electric starting and lighting equipment with all switches on the steering column. Some Six ! Yet the price is lower than any other six of its size $925. But come in and see these new models. Go over them note all the very real and important improvements. We are ready to make demonstrations of any models now.
