Montreal, which is the chief obstructor of the international
plan, is said to be favorable to tho Ottawa River plan. So

i ! HIC ,l()i! FOR I'NCLK SAM
, , The proposed l'.oulder Dam project, on the Arizona-Nevada
boundary, would provide flood control, water supply and elec
tric power on a vast scale for an area covering several states.
It .would turn the Colorado river from a menace lo a servant
of 'civilization in the great Southwest.
! jThe figures are staggering. The dam would stand 550
foot high, the highest in the world. It would impound enough
water to cover 26,000,000 acres one foot deep. It would pro
vide an all-Anierican irrigation system to water the rich Im
perial Valley, which now has to depend ( on. water brought
through Mexican territory. It would have a capacity for
power production three times that of Muscle Shoals. It
would be a In-ginning at taming the third-greatest river of
the United Suites, after ninny years of talk. It seems to pro
vide, as a California newspaper says, "not only for an emer
gency project but for the most beneficial and constructive
works ever planned by government engineers for any sec
tion of America."
The dam would cost $ ll.5O0,(i(iO; the irrigation canal,
000,000; the power plant, $31,500,000; the entire project,
$125,000,000. That is a great deal of money. Some critics
object to spending it out of the federal treasury. Others ob
ject to the government going any further into the power
business.
The government, however, has the money; it looks like
a job that cannot lie handled properly by any agency, public,
or private, except by the United States; and engineers say
thai it would repay the total cost of construction, with inter
est, in 25 or 30 years, from the sale of water power.-
II looks as if it were worth taking a chance on. Here is an
liin0ial opiKii tunity for Uncle Sain to do one of the big things
thntrnoed doing for the development of the country. It is
onljMjne of many forecasted for the future. The Columbia
Uivir Basin project is. even greater yet its eventual comple
tion is a certainty.

Why are there so many
charming women
today?
Never before have there been so many charming'
women.
Wherever you go, you find them. Vivacious, happv,
beautiful, delightfully dressed in the most exquisite
taste. .
Clear, pink-and-white complexion, luxurious, well
kept hair, gleaming teeth, trim athletic carriage
these are almost universal characteristics of Ameri
can women of today.
Why?
At first thought it may sound absurd, but one of the
most powerful teachers has been advertising.
Advertising has helped to teach all thatthe real
basis of beauty is health and cleanliness. We are the
greatest users of soap and water in the world.
Advertising has taught us how to care for our teeth
our hair, our feet, our hands and our complexions '
Advertising has taught us how to dress how'to
choose colors and fabrics' and becoming styles.
Advertising has. taught us how to talk, how to en
tertain. One reason why so many women arc charming is
because so many women are reading advertising
Fi 'om advertising they are learning, the secrets of the
great beauty specialists. They are learning the secrets
of becoming dress from the famous designers of Paris
and New York. .
Ad ca Using is one of Ihc biggest reasons why
so many women arc so charming
Head advertising regularly
