A concert in Chi cago, carried over ordinary tele phone wires, was heard three miles away from where this amplifier was stationed at Yam a Farms, N. Y.

THE SHOSHONE DAM AMONG the great Irrigation dums erected under the supervision of the reclamation service of the De partment of the Interior, the Shoshone has a distinct individuality. It Is located nine miles west of Ccdy, Wyoming, on the road to Yellowstone park. If you can conceive of si tilungulor shuped wedge of concre e 328 feel high. 900 feet wide at the top, 10 feet thick at the base, tapering to 10 feet at the crest, placed between two mountains go as to close the canyon ofa river, you, can gain, some Idea of this maNtodonlc structure. Now, Imagine a lake of stored-up water, 10 miles long, with a maximum width of four miles and a maximum depth of 283 feet behind this dam ; then, In front of It a spill-way bearing h strong resemblance to a section of Niagara Culls, and stretching away in the distance hundreds of thousands of acres of land covered with an abund ance of crops, peopled with happy in habitants and here and there a bus tling village. There you have a pic ture of one of Uncle Sum's great irri gation projects. Remember that before the water was brought to this thirsting land, sage brush and prairie dogs were among the principal crops, then presto "The desert blossomed as the rose," and you'll understand why your government expended $1,354,0(10 on the dam alone. CALIFORNIA'S ALIEN TAX HELD INVALID Citizens of Japan Declared Exempt From Tax Not Im posed on Natives. 24 PERSONS ARE DROWNED Five Seriously Injured In Collapse of Bridge at Chester, Pa. Chester, Pa. -Twenty-four persons were drowned and five seriously injur ed in the collapso of the bridge span ning the Chester river at Third street, in the business district. A small wrought iron gusset plate, part of the support for a foot path along the structure, which had been half eaten by rust, gave way under the weight of nearly a hundred per sons who were attracted by the cries of a drowning boy. There was a terrible struggle. Good swimmers were unable to break the grasp of those who could not remain afloat and were dragged down. Oth ers were crushed in the collapse of the footpath. Maupin, Or., Has Bad Fire. Maupin, Or. The business section of Maupin, on the Deschutes river, in southeastern Wasco county, was vir tually wiped out by a fire which did estimated damage of $75,000 before it was brought under control. San Francisco. The state alien poll tax law was declared unconstitutional in so far as it affects Japanese, in a decision handed down by the state su preme court. The court directed the dismissal of Meikichi Terui, Oakland Japanese, who was arrested to teBt the law. In its opinion the court said: "In view of the provision of the existing treaty between the United States and Japan, the alien poll tax law is ineffective for any purpose with relation to any citizen of Japan." In the decision the court held that as far as Kotta. a Mexican residing here, who was also arrested in order to bring about a test of the application of the law to Mexican nationals is concerned the law was in violation of the 14th amendment, which provides that there shall be no discrimination in taxing residents of the United States. Touching on the case of the Japanese, it said: "In view of the pro visions of the existing treaty between the United States and Japan the alien poll tax is ineffective for any pur pose with relation to any citizen of Japan." The California daw, imposing an annual poll tax of $10 on all alien male residents of the state betweeH the ages of 21 and 60, was passed by the 1921 legislature In response to a constitutional amendment adopted by the people in November, 1920, by a vote of 103,160 to 27,811.

Congress Is Told of Great Accomplishment Washington. The annual report of the activities of the Near East Re lief organization, filed with Congress by Charles V. Vickrey, General Sec retary, constitutes the modest history of one of the greatest pieces of phil anthropic work ever undertaken and carried through by American men and women, according to well In formed persona in the capital. Ad- 1 Marconi says the signals from Mars are coming In the shape of a "V." Can it be possible that they want to borrow a five? CHARLES V. VICKREY miral Mark L. Bristol, United States High Commissioner to Turkey, for example, declares: "I have been closely associated with the work of the Near East Relief committee for about 22 months. On the whole the work of this relief committee has been such that Americans should be proud of this great humane ef fort. The Near East Relief here In Constantinople Is run more like a business organization than any relief organization with which I have ever come Into contact." Charles V. Vlckrey's summary of the activities of the Near East Relief bows the disbursement of over $60,000,000.00 in cash and supplies, cootribated by the American people to the salvaging of the Christian pop ulations of the Near East. 711 American and Canadian men and women relief workers have been en gaged in this huge task on little more than a volunteer basis. 63 hospitals, with 6,522 beds, and 123 clinics; 11 rescue homes, where young girls rescued from lives of shame In Turkish harems are taught to forget their sufferings, and to be gin life anew, self-supporting and independent, aire maintained. 110,000 hi till- Children The most remarkable feature of the work of the Near East Relief is, however, the salvation of tens of thousands of children who have lost parents and relatives during the past six years. For those little ones Amer ican generosity has provided, through the Near East Relief, 2 Si!) homes- one, in Alexandropol, Armenia, hous ing 18,000 children where, last year, 54,600 children were housed, clothed, fed and taught, while an ad ditional 66,039, outside the Near East Relief orphanages, wore saved from starvation and Uej,tli oy food and clothing sent them from the United States. Mr. Vlckrey's report states that approximately 2,790,410 Armenians are still living In the Near But, out of a pre-war population of over 4,000,000 and estimates that had it not been for the aid given by the American people through the Near East Relief, fully half of those now living would have perished. Food was furnished to 56 1,970 homeless refugees during a large part of 1920, while 300,000 garment!!, comprising 1,600,000 pounds of clothing sent out from the United States were dis tributed to barefoot and rag-clad wanderers, all the way fioin the Mediterranean to the Caucasus mountains. Work Must Continue Commenting on those llgurea Mr Vickrey stated that " tlti.s dlstinctlre ly humanitarian relief work, as an expression of brotherhood, bImuM help to mark the beginning of t Bw era of peace and inter-rui.ial good will In the Near East. "The tremendous task undertaken by the American people In savin'; the children of the Near East l.s one which cannot be left on finished We have an Investment of 0Vr $60,000 000 In human life, that America baa saved. If we falter or pauM BH that investment is imperiled, or may even be lost altogether, Most of tht children we have saved from death are still too little to take care of themselves, and conditions through out the Near East are still too uncertain to let them shift for them elves. It Is morally sure that for al least five years, and until these little ones that we have snatched from I terrible fate are able to support themselves and enjoy an even CuSftGS of life as useful citizens, the Amer ican people who have rescued them must see them through "It is the purpose of the Near E-.oi Relief to do Just this, and we kpSSal to the generosity of the Am-rlcan people to see this noli car rled out in the aplrit of mutual help fulnese and CI Pity which is ao essentially characteristic of thi American Ideal.'
