BOULDER CITY", Nevada, March 2. This in the third larg

But it is unquestionably the first in beauty, cleanliness and
moral tone. Everything of course is new, and while the workers'
quarters are temporary, they are neat and attractive, while the
permanent part of the city, consisting of the various adminis
tration buildings, residences of the higher officers in charge,
churches, and an extremely attractive hotel bear the mark of
some architect who knew his business. Uncle Sam may be slow
in getting started, and slow on the job, but when whatovcr he
sets out to do is DONE, it is done RIGHT.

da mit was a dusty, rough ride from Las Vegas. Now it is
a dustless, smooth ascent over a paved highway that is as
straight as a bee line. That's another thing about Uncle Sam
when he wants to go places he never forgets that a straight line,
in spite of Herr Einstein, is the shortest distance between two
points.
We would like to give a pen picture of Hoover dam in its
present state, but no thanks it can't be done. It is one of those
things that must be seen to be appreciated. Neither photographs
nor the printed word and there are tons of both around here
for sale do it justice.

If we HAD to give an idea of the thing in one word we
would probably choose the word "KOLLOSAL !", preferably
with a German accent. For there is something foreign, alien,
about it, something having to do with another world it isn't
quite human. With a guide we went pretty much all over the
project, and that guide had worked as an engineer on the dHin
and knew his job. He filled us from hat to shoe leather with
coffer dams, intake towers, diversion tunnels, penstocks, gates,
spillways and portals there they were, too some of them in
action, but to be honest we didn't' know anything more about
it when we got through than when we started. In fact through
out the trip we kept trying to figure out what it WAS the dam
reminded us of we knew we hadn't seen it before, but also
knew we had seen something like it. Finally, just before the
finish when we stood on observation point and secured a birds
eye view of the place including the Colorado river, and large
sections of both Nevada and Arizona, it came to us in a flash.

Henry Koepka, sr.. 90, one of Uma

rancher, died at his home near
Atheoa last night,
What I have to say about this com
monly maltreated disability will Irk
many of the orthodocs, so I hope my
o s teopathlc
friends. If any,
will bless my
memory when I'm
gone.
The Junction
of the sacrum, at
the base of t h e
spine, with the
Ilium or wing of
the hip (lnnom
lnate) bone 01
either side, bore
the forbidding
and Inaccurate
title of "sacro
iliac synchondrosis" in the gay nine
ties when we orthodoc knew nothing
about It and fiercely resented the
danged osteopaths superior knowl
edge of the anatomy, physiology and
pathology of the Joint. We had It
from some distinguished old "author,
lty" that this lilac Joint (as It is now
properly called) was not a true Joint
and permitted no motion at all. But
thank heaven for the spirit that led
the osteopaths astray, for they learn
ed better. Osteopaths have been
talking about "slipped innominate"
since way back when it was as much
as a regular physician's rep was worth
to be seen even chatting with one
of the cult heelers. Today sacro
lilac sprain, atraln or subluxation Is
a well recognised disability, at least
among doctors who are not too old or
too snooty to learn from other sources
than the somewhat cut and dried
classical medical textbooks.
One regular or orthodoc says:
"Sublaxatlon (that means displace'
ment or Incomplete dislocation) of
the aacro-lllae Joint Is too frequently
diagnosed as 'sciatica', rheumatism
'neuritis, 'lumbago' or fallen arches',
and hence treated Ineffectually with
coal tar pain-killers, liniments, baths,
electricity, diet, arch props and the
like until someone finally recognizes
the trouble and gives Immediate re
lief by reduction of the displacement
and a suitable plaster or other sup
port. Every suh patient is entitled
to an examination stripped at the first
Interview, and of course a rectal ex
amination. One can palpate (feel)
the sacro-lllac nerve plexus and if it
Is tender to gentle pressure that is
strong evidence of iliac sublaxatlon."
No matter Just what the symptoms
are. Anyway, I advise the layman
who contemplates faking sacro-11 Lie
strain to take a complete course In
a good medical school flret, or else
choose only nice old fogy doctors to
try It on.
If your doctor Is the kind that ac
cepts you own ready-made diagnosis
or knows by Intuition the nature of,
your trouble without the Inconvenl- I
ence of making you atrip for exam
Inatlon, you had better look up a good
osteopathic physician. If I had auch
disability I'd prefer an up-to-date or
thodox physician, but of course such
a physician would welcome consulta
tion with a reputable osteopath in
any such case. I think It is a wise
plan to sever relations aa quickly as
possible with any physician, orthodox
or osteopath, who Is at all reluctant
to confer and cooperate freely with
any other REPUTABLE physician in
any case, regardless of the therapeutic
methods either prefers. This quack-
lah bickering between "schoolo"
"pathles" makes my neck ache.
Formerly, women were more subject
to strains and apralna of the sacro
iliac Joint than were men, but today
women get a better break in the mat
ter of dress, work, play, physical edu
cation, hygiene, and are less suscep
tible to the "female weakness" props

Ponderous Talk About a Light Subject
We have heard about the harmful
effects of aluminum ware when cer
tain fruit or vegetable acids come In
contact with It . . . this gets Into the

bles . . . M. J.

Sterilizing a Septic Focus.
Would the diathermy method which
you recommend for removal of ton
sils serve to clear up a throat infec
tion In which a smear from the crypt
is analyzed as "staph ylococcua"? M
W.
Answer In my opinion, the dia
thermy method. In the hands of the

the moat effectual we have for ster
ilizing such a focus of Infection.
.Mythical Mucous Colitis.
I am troubled with some mucous
colitis and would thank you for a
diet. H. D.
Answer There Is no such condition
as "mucous colitis. Wiseacres who
(think they) know more than a mere
doctor about such matters are more
or less incurably afflicted with the
morbid obsession. If you are not of
that type, possibly you can get some
help from these booklets: "The Con
stipation Habit": "Guide to Right
Eating." Send a stamped envelope
bearing your address and inclose a
dime for each booklet wanted.

the aalea tax as unjust and discrim
inatory and plain hellish. But the
sales tax la Intended solely to raise
more money for the depleted coffers
of the schools that th schools may
not close or shorten their terms, that
education may continue, and that
the district may meet Its obligations.
Including the payment of wages to
union painters and carpenters.
Nothing could be more evident, in
simple arithmetic, than that the
schools have to .have money or they
cannot continue to run. They can
not .hire painters. They cannot hire
carpenters. Be It big wage or little,
short week or long, they have to have
money or they cannot hire, painters
and carpenters. Something for the
painters and carpenters to be worry
ing about. If they must fret, la the
question of whether or no the
schools will be able to hire them at
all If the sales tax be scuttled.
The main Idea with the opponents
of the sales tax seems to be to pum
mel it into smithereens, and then
cheerily wait for a miracle to save
the schools. Well, they may be part
ly right, since nothing less than a
miracle would be of any use. Ore

NEW YORK, March 7. Elisabeth
Cobb, in private life Mrs. Alton
Brody, has. with her third successful
novel, taken a
place alongside
her Illustrious
father in the
realm of creative
fiction. Sho Is &
striking brunette
in early thirties
and mother of
two- chllo'ien
Patricia and
Cobb.
The only child,
she Is the apple
of her father's
eye. And In turn
hla most appreciative audience.
Much of her leisure Is spent in his
company and'she has inherited largely
jus gift for spinning yarns. Turned
out by a glossy finishing school, her
early life was spent in Florence.
The backgrounds of her novels were
salvaged from real life. She has
traveled with Ringling'a circus as an
equestrienne and one of the few out
siders admitted to the close-knit In
side sawdust circles. She has also
voyaged on cattle-boats as well as
being a member of Eaathampton's
"younger set."
To her Intimates she Is "Buff." a
relic of her baby efforts to pronounce
Ellnabeth. Her mother, Mrs. Irvln
Cobb, always Inconspicuous, Is
"Mowle" to the entire Cobb clan. Her
gentleness, patience and encourage
ment have been larte factors in both
the success of her husband and dau
ghter. And they adore her.

the sudden spin of what proved to
be a very brief curve. I called on "a
prospect" In the old Putnam building,
where the Paramount theater stands.
For no reason, save perhaps my
cheeklness In being alive, I was out
rageously abused and ordered to make
myself scarce. Many sleepless nights
X dramatized myself as sitting before
a row of push buttons In state while
my tormentor called, hat In hand.
But life reverses fiction. The other
day I saw him for the first time since
my humiliation. He was at the great
desk with the battery of push-buttons.
And I'll kiss a pig If I wasn't
standing before him, hat In hand.
There was another downward yank
of gravity that sent me to the cellars
of literature. For two months I wrote
a fashion column for an obscure
monthly of styles under the quaint
pseudonym "Young Brummel. The
publication buckled into bankruptcy
without even listing my two months'
pay of 126 aa a liability. But even
a pay leaa Job has Its compensation.
Because the office was near his great
store, I came to know Charles Broad

several years later sold a feature

Defends Barton
To the Editor:
I read the article In the Tribune
written by F. W. Taylor In which he
states that George S. Barton la not a
taxpayer and therefore has no right
to oppose the sales tax. .Well, I Just
want to say this much that there
are a whole lot of people In Medford
who are not taxpayers and are pay
ing more money for rent than a lot
of people who own the property are
paying in taxes. There Is a man liv
ing right along side of me who has
two children going to school and Is
paying 180 a year rent 920 more
than the county pays for his chil
dren's schooling and he Is a man who
has to work by the day to support
hla family and it la a tight squeeze
for him to make both ends meet if
you will listen to my gentle voice.
I am not going to argue anything
about the sales tax. but I do intend
to defend Mr. Barton from attacks by
men who do not know what they are
talk inn about. I was In partnership
with Mr. Barton for many years, and
I know him to be one .of the most
honorable, conscientious, and upright
mm in this, or any other, county In
the state: and has been the means of
bringing more money Into this and
Josephine county -than anyone else.
He furnished chrome for the gov
ernment in time of the world war.
and paid out thousands and thou
sands of dollars to working men and
he made one mining deal In Jose
phine county that brought in a lot
of money, and the first payment on
that deal was a check for 930.000.
pned by Geo. S. Barton, and him
alone. And I can produce the fact. If
anyone doubts It. that Geo. Barton
has been paying taxea on property in
Josephine county ' for many years.
that I know of. Whether he is now
or not I cannot say, but perhaps Mr.
Taylor can tell us. In opposing the
sales tax. Mr. Barton is doing what
his conscience tells him Is right, and
for no other reason and I will say
further, that if every county in the
state would send' men like Geo. S.
Barton to the legislature, that we
would have some different laws than
what we have now.
I read some arttcles in The Tribune
a while back In regard to the sales
tax. and all I have got to say. Is that
I haven't found anyone yet that
knows any more about It than they
did before.

At the Colony today the price of
an order of mushrooms touched off
a fright wig effect. Awkt I thought
of the first man to eat mushrooms In
our town. He ran the wagon yard

field day before It goes Into effect.
They do not desire to sacrifice their
market position before they get a

omitted an "R" in describing his
movement to the code authorities
when he called U "evolution."
