' * * * * An Associted Press representative blew into The Chronicle office Wednesday morning and wanted to know if he had to have a press pass to see the Washington birthday races, at Springdale Course. He was told that all he had to do was to get out there and find himself a parking space, that everything was free. Somehow, or other the strangers can't get onto this FREE stuff. They think there is a catch in it. In this connection The Chronicler would like to request our friends who are inviting friends ^o mention this feature?that it doesn't cost a cent?and so far as we know Messrs. Woodward and Kirkover have established a race course, the like of which is not to be found in America. No entrance fee for horses, no admission charge, no cost for parking space?they only want you to come and have a good time and see the charging steeds as they take the numerous jumps over the Springdale Course.

When I was your age I was working for $2 a week in a store and at the end of five years I owned the store." Son: "You can't do that nowadays. They have cash registers."?Boston Globe.

Rotary Club Notes Mr. Hosea Webster, of Connecticut, gave a most interesting talk at Thursday's Rotary meeting on the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River, which is now under construction. Mr. Webster first spoke of the big dam at Lake Murray, stating that it was the largest earthen dam in the world and that it forms the largest artificial lake in^the world. Then, for the sake of comparison, compared this dam with the Hoover Dam, which will generate seven and one-half times as much power as the dam at Lake Murray. The Hoover Dam will be 770 feet high and will form a lake 115 miles long. Besides generating an almost unbelievable amount of power, it will serve to control floods, and will store water that will irrigate desert sections in lower California and other states. Mr. Webster has a large contract r? supplying piping for the work, fcj eluding the enormous tunnels whiA will divert the watey on both the Cdi> orado and Arizona sides of the rive# j during the construction work. ~ expects that the dam will be co* pleted in 1937 or 1938. The Govern ment expects to expend one hundrA and sixty-five millions on this prefect and within a period of fort years will have all of the money psi back and will have earned four p? cent on the investment through the sale of power.
