Washington Sidelights

Western Reclamation - Power Projects

WASHINGTON. — Recommendations for congressional action to permit a thorough investigation of potential agricultural resources of the West, and lor the working out of a program of •eclamatlon and power developed for :he benefit of all arid regions, were made In the annual report -of Dr. Elwood Mead, commissioner of reclamation. He Indorsed the conclusion of 'he special advisory committee on reclamation. embodied in a bill which has passed the house and is pending before the senate. All the changes urged by the romnittee would be helpful. Doctor Mead asserted, “but If legislation stops with these, the amended reclamation act will not provide a working plan for the development of new projects. The reason for this Is the fact that many nf the best opportunities for future reclamation are where the land is now privately owned." Discussing the committee’s co-ordi-tated plan of settlement, under which the government would be able to purchase or control all privately owned lands in excess of homestead units. Commissioner Mead asserted that if

“Walk to Work Club” of the Capital

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE might be named by acclamation president of Washington's “Walk-to-Work club.” which boasts an illustrious membership—were It not for the fact that his place of work and his place of residence are separated by only a length of covered corridor. The honor then goes by default to Chief Justice William Howard Taft, who tramps a good mile and a half to the Capitol every day, with Charles Evans Hughes, secretary of state, tying as “runner-up." Although debarred by circumstances from walking to work, President Coolidge takes his daily walk as regularly as he takes his breakfast; and. not being given to golf or games of any sort, relies on this form of exercise to keep him in trim. When he first was elevated to the Presidency, his fondness for early meaning strolls was a great trial to White House attendants and the inevitable secret service men without whom the President cannot stir. Os late, however, Mr. Coolidge seems to prefer the afternoons for his walks.

Largest Museum to Fill Long-Felt Want

IT IS now a matter of only a short time until the United States takes its belated place with England, • Germany. France and Austria by erecting a national museum of engineering and industry. Today the United States, which has the largest industrial population on earth, lacks a center for a historical record of the progress made in invention, electricity and engineering. Realizing this need, a group of prominent engineers, financiers, Industrial magnates, educators and publicspirited men have united and formed a corporatior under the laws of the District of Columbia. The name of the society is “The National Museum of Engineering and Industry.” Dr. Elihu Thomson is president. H. F. J. Porter, known as the father of the factory fire drill, is secretary. The honorary members are Dr. Charles W. Eliot. Gen. George W. Goetbals. Melville E. Stone and Charles M. Schwab. Quietly but effectively the plans for the National Museum of Engineering and Industry have been made and the money is being raised. Ten millions of dollars are required. The first million has already been contributed.

Unde Sam Expects Every Photographer —

a’ UNITED STATES army alrplane will race the shadow of the moon nearly 4UO miles X across New York state during the eclipse of the sun on January 24. Carrying a specially designed camera, photographs will be taken from the plane of the sun’s flaming corona, as made visible during the eclipse. The purpose of the experiment, as worked out by Dr. David Todd, professor emeritus of astronomy of Amherst college, and for which use of the plane has been granted by Major (ieneral Patrick, chief of the air service. is to permit photographing tor a longer period than the approximately two minutes, for which the eclipse will be visible from the earth. Even the added fraction of a minute that the photographing will be permitted by the speed of the plane will be of great value to science. The plane, piloted by Lieut George W. Goddard, and with Dr. F. B. Burka. government physicist, operating the camera, will leave Buffalo shortly before the eclipse Is visible there and

On the cropped area of 1.178,870 acres, crops were grown having a gross value of more than $65,000,000, or $55 an acre cropped, as compared with a gross value of $50,000,000 and $43 an acre in the preceding year.

He prefers the city streets and occasionally strolls down F street at a time when that busy thoroughfare is crowded with afternoon shoppers. Although he never hurries and gives rather the impression of strolling. President Coolidge manages to cover a lot of ground in a given time. Mrs. Coolidge, too, is a good walker, but she prefers a more leisurely gait. Secretary Hughes always has been a famous walker and. now that his duties leave him so. little time for recreation, he has solved the problem of getting enough exercise by walking to the State department in the morning, home for luncheon at noon, back to the office and home again in the evening—a good six miles a day. Justice Taft in bis hiking clothes is startling In the extreme. Always a fast walker, he arrives at the Capitol in a glow and, after a shower and a rub down, changes into dignified habiliments suited to the presiding justice of the highest tribunal of the United States.

The federal government already has set aside a tentative site for the museum on the Mnll in Washington at the request of the Smithsonian . institution, through its secretary. Dr. Charles D. Walcott. The museum building, for which the plans have been' drafted in active cooperation with the Smithsonian institution after a year's study of the great foreign museums by an expert sent abroad for the purpose, will cost, according to estimates, $4,500.00*). This building will be one of the finest buildings in the world and the finest museum building. , It will be the largest museum in existence, measuring 1.150 feet by 250 and having a floor area of 27 acres. Three and a ’half million dollars will be set aside as a permanent endowment for current operation of the museum and $2,000,000 will be set aside to make copies of exhibits to be sent to offspring museums and to pay the expenses of transporting the traveling exhibits.

rAI.ES FROM BIG CITIES

Treasures of the NEW TORS.—The choicest of the Pierpont Morgan library’s original manuscript and drawings by British authors have been on public view in the main exhibition hall of the New York Public Übrary. Mr. Morgan seems to have memorized the contents of each of the documents, in faded Ink, most of them, and in all manner of script, from the flowing signature of Sir Thomas More on the lease of his home, Crosby hall, in 1523, to the microscopic penmanship of Charlotte Bronte in the Nineteenth century, employed or “Arthuriana, or Odds and End&” “See, there is Milton’s manuscript for book 1 of 'Paradise Lost,’ just as the printer received It;" explained Mr. Morgan, who takes a boyish delight in the treasures. “And here we have the original warrant which kept John Bunyan in the jug while he wrote ’Pilgrim’s Progress.’ ” Mr. Morgan points to a heavily sealed document labeled “Warrant for the arrest and imprisonment of John Bunyan at Bedford, March A 1674.” ( Some of the names most noted tn literature were represented by only'a few specimens; others by scores.

Relics of Spaniards Under Colorado?

LA JUNTA, COLO.—The romantic days of earliest Colorado history when Spanish explorers under the Intrepid Coronado roamed this section of the Western world, penetrating far into the then unknown lands north of Old Mexico, combating the Indian hordes that claimed tfels land as their own through rightful inheritance were brought vividly to mind here with the finding of a skeleton in armor, believed to be the remains of a lea ler of one of those ancient bands. Earl Scarlet and M. O. Davis, two La Junta boyg, made the discovery when digging under a large protruding rock in a clump of cedars, 18 miles south of here. The boys first uncovered a human skull. Digging further they found in the depression two bones, evidently the leg bones of a man. Further digging brought to light three pieces of shoulder armor such as was worn by Spanish soldiers ip the Sixteenth century. The armor plate is mostly inlaid with ivory. Parts of an ancient flint-lock blunderbuss also were found, so was a cop-

Wedding Announcement a Bit Delayed

Lake FOREST, ILL.—Clayton Mark of Lake Forest, millionaire steel man and president of the Civic federation, has announced the marriage of his daughter, Anna Griffith, aged nineteen, to Avery Rockefeller of New York, twenty-year-o'd son of Percy Avery Rockefeller, and a grandson of the late William Rockefeller, a brother of John D. Rockefeller. But the announcement was just a bit late. For the wedding, according to the engraved card which surprised Chicago and New York society folk, took place September 20, 1023. Supplementing their sur prise came the equally startling news from Mr. Mark that his daughter ami: son-in-law are now traveling In England with their young son. born August 30, of this year. The marriage was a double secret one, according to Mr. Mark’s statement “My daughter was, attending Rosehall, Conn«<-tlcut,” Mr. Mart said.

Oregon Boring Rocks for Live Steam

PORTLAND. ORE.—A geyser of boiling wrier, spouting 75 feet into the air, recently brought in near Lakeview in southern Oregon, near the California line, is the only one of Its kind in this state. Apart from itu interests as a scenic attraction. It Is relieved the presence of a vast amount of boiling water, indicated by the geyser, at a comparatively shallow cepth, opens up industrial possibUltlcu through harnessing live steam. The land on which the first hole was sunk has a number of freely flowing springs of boiling water with high chlorine content, making the location writable for a najritarium. Those interested in the project conceived the Idea of boring n well near the springs to get sufficient flow of hot water for a natatorium md to heat the buildings.

Morgan Collection ' There were John Dryden’s panegyrical poem “Eleonora," to the memory of the Countess of Abingdon; the original essay concerning human understanding by John Locke; a letter from Samuel Pepys to a nephew and a book, <rf Pepys’ navy office accounts; Sir Isaac Newton's notes for coin and coinage; a letter, in a disguised hand and signed with the alias “Richard Sympson,” in which Jonathan Swift offered “Gulliver’s Travels’" to a hesitant publisher. He later pointed to a manuscript of “The Corsair.” which was among many of George Gordon Byron’s works on display. The Morgan yacht is the Corsair. High lights in the exhibit which Mr. Morgan appeared especially proud of were the originals of Leigh Hunt’s “Abou Ben Adhem,” as he copied it for Mrs. James T. Fields of Boston and as she presented It to Pierpont Morgan; what the present Mr. Morgan calls “some of the very best" of Robert Browning’s work; “A Christmas Carol tn Prose —being a ghost story of Christmas," by Charles Dickens; , pTanity Fair,” by William Makepeace Thackeray, with a series of that au-thor-artist’s caricatures in colors for his own books.

In the Sixteenth century, according to history, a party ofLaixiy or more Spaniards came North from a settlement at Taos, N, M., and traversed the banks of the Picketwire river. Then the party disappeared from view and was believed to have been victims of an Indian massacre. In the historical accounts of the wanderings of Don Vasquez Coronado is that of an expedition led by him at the command of the king of Spain Jnto the mountain fastnesses north of Mexico, a region then inhabited by Indians who had never before set eyes on a white man. Starting from Cui lean. Coronado and his band finally reached the great plains of the Arkansas and the South Platte, which he explored east of the foot of the Rocky jnountains, extending down the South Platte into what is now the state of Nebraska, nearly to the Missouri river.

found the prescription that enabled the authorities to fasten the murder upon Leopold. Until the time that Weinstein 1 identified the glasses as Leopold’s, the police were practically convinced of the innocence of both Leopold and Loeb. * , In addition to Mulroy and Goldstein, those who will receive a cash award are as follows: JTons Minke, Roby, Ind., who found young Franks’ body In a culvert. SBSO. Paul Korff, 6453 South Carpenter street, who found Leopold’s glasses near the culvert, $750. Bernard Hunt, 6233 South Aberdeen street, who found the chisel used to kill the boy. SSOO. / John Koleska, 1405 West Seventyfirst street, S3OO. Walter Knitter, 1216 West Eightyseventh street, S3OO. George Knitter, 1216 West Eigbtyseventh street, S3OO. The latter trio assisted Menke In carrying young Franks* body from the culvert to the morgue, where it was later Identified by Mulroy and Goldstein.

“and young Mr. Rockefeller was just ready to enter his second year at Yale university. They had been warm friends for seven or eight years. And one day they slipped off and got married.’’ 1 Both Mr. Mark, Sr., and his son, Clayton Mark, Jr, declined to tel', where the ceremony was performed and by whom. In this connection Mr. Mark Issued a formal statement, saying: “The families of these young people have been aware for a number of years of their affection for each other, and they have visited back and forth in their respective homes, but the families bad no thought that they were V considering marriage before school days were over. “In romantic boy and girl fashion, however, they eloped * and planned to keep the marriage secret until they were out of school. They passed the summer together, are now in England with their infant son, and will probably remain abroad for several t montha”

started.'and at about the same depth as the first well, a steady flow of hot water was obtained. A third hole was then started, and at the surprisingly shallow depth of twenty feet the present geyser was struck. SiVice the last well was brought in. the first has ceased spouting but flows a continuous stream of boiling water. Drilling now is going on with the hope of tapping a reservoir of steam. A half mile from the original borings and 100 feet higher on the hillside, a hole Is being sunk where surface temperature is normal, but at a depth of 40 feet it is 120 degrees. At 190 feet depth the temperature is reported to be 240 degrees. . Os outstanding interest In connection with the possibility of utilizing the steam for power purposes is the fact, it is said, that there are only two other localities in the world where similar experiments are under way. ; One of these Is a project for utilizing st&RtD bcoctitti tlifr of KfOffOt Vesuvius in Italy, mid on a less ambi« | tious scale at Healdsburg.
