Work to Begin
on Little TVA
Early in Fall
South Carolina Project Probably Will
Cost $37,C00.CO0 To Em
ploy 18.000 Men.
COLUMBIA, S. C. (UP) Last
h ".al obstacles have been removed
for inauguration of a "Little TVA'
project in the lowlands of South
Carolina.
It is the Santee-Cooper hydro
c 'citric and navigation project, to
cost an estimated $37,000,000. Ac
tual work is not expected to begin
r.r.til early fall, but already prelim
inary steps have beer- taken, accord
ing to the South Carolina Public Ser--
authority, administrative body
:"' the development.
Since the state legislature ap
proved the undertaking in 1924.
private utilities have attacked it
from every angle. Lower courts over
ruled them, however, and recently
t . U. S. supreme court ended the
lengthy legal battle with a decision
favorable to the project.
Obtaining data from a private en
gineering firm that first planned the
ptvject 12 years ago will be the first
step in actual work. A site of 2.000
ceres in Berkeley. Calhoun, Claren
don and Orangeburg counties will be
purchased as a preliminary move.
To Employ 1S.0C0 Men
Approximately l.vi'UO men will be
J'.;' to work on the pi eject, clearing
reservoirs ".0 miles long and build
irg two dams to divert the swift,
muddy Sanue river down a sharp de
cline into the Cooper river near
I in
lis. r.i
keiev county. There
a power plant with an output of 450.
Oph.OmO kilowatt hours annually, is
la be constructed.
The project also -calls for a 175
mile navigation channel bet wean
Charleston and Columbia, and pro
duction and distribution of sufficient
electrical current to serve a field ex
it n ding from Raleigh, X. C. to Ath
ens, Ga., and eastward to the At
la ntic.
In addition to the electrical out
put, the project is expected to ef
fect an vnnual saving of S 1.500.000
in freight ift"s.
Of'icials estimate the project will
r-claim lfiu.OOo acres of farm lands
and permit cutting of 500.000 board
feet of timber while providing a pay
roll of SS5.000 weekly for the three
years necessary to complete the un
ci ei "taking.
The plan is to take the Santee's
v. ;.ter across a watershed divide by
mean? of a reservoir and dam. and
r';i::p it into the smaller Cooper
river, thus creating electric power

covering 59.000 acres and the other
78,000 acres.
While no villages will be sub
merged as was the case in building
the Gilbertsville dam project in the
Tennessee valley, many historic old
plantations wili be wiped out by wa
ters of the two huge lakes.
The 151,000 acres involved in the
project do not include any railroads
or hard-aurfaced highways. Only
1,000 acres are listed as high grade
upland and SO. 000 acres are in
swampland.
Dr. F. H. H. Calhoun, consulting
geologist of Clemson College, report
ed to the authority that within 50
miles of the project are many re
sources catiable of development
which are not now used commer
cially. Many Natural Resources
These natural resources Include
marl deposits, phosphate rock, timber
for paper and hardwood, granite.
Kaolin, sand and other products.
Vegetables for canning, cotton for
textiles and tobacco are crops most
commonly grown in the area.
The project will follow a course
that was charted 150 years ago when
rich planters bulit a canal to con
nect the two rivers and act as a trade
artery between Charleston, then a
famous seaport, and upstate South
Carolina.
This canal. 22 miles long, was dug
with slave labor and cost $00,000 a
mile. It required eight years to com
plete. P.oats used the canal for many
yearr. until seasonal failure of the
water supply and the growing use of
railroads made it no longer profit
able. Today only traces of the once busy
canal remain, and many of the historic-
old plantations along its banks
have long since been abandoned.
EISCARDS ETIQUETTE RULE
OAKLAND. Cal. (UP Emily
Post's edict that it is the bride's
parents who must give and pay for
ihe wedding supper, was overruled
here by Justice of the Peace Harry
W. Pulcifer. despite the fact that
the etiquette book itself was pro
duced in court lor correct reading
on the dictates of polite society.
Last August the daughter of a
prominent couple here was married
to the scion of another equally prom
inent couple.
in the evening, a wedding supper
was served by a catering company, at
which nine bottles of sherry, one-half
barrel of beer, two cases of soft
drinks, SO chicken dinners and l."0
assorted sandwiches figured. The
hotel company serving the supper
presented a bill for $1S0.0S.
The mother of the groom paid $40
on the bill, but declined to pay the
rest, saying it was the duty of the
Mride's parents to give the supper,
and quoting Emily Post as her au
thority. The parents of the bride refused
to pay the balance on the wedding
supper nil I and the case came before
Justice Pulcifer. He declined to ac
cept the authority of Emily Post and
ruled that ps the mother of the
groom had assumed part payment of
he bill, she was responsible for the
rest.
He suggested, however, that as a
compromise the two families might
get together on the matter, but the
court at least couldn't stand for
split wedding bells.

UTAH MAY RAISE MORMON SHAFT
SALT LAKE CITY (UP) Future
visitors to Utah will view a $250,
000 monument on the spot where
Brijrham Young-, Mormon Church
founder, first looked over the fertile
Salt Lake valley, according to present
plans of the L. D. S. church and
Utah state officials.
A committee appointed bv Gov.
Henry Blood is drafting- plans for
the monument to be known as the
"This-is-the-place" memorial because
because of the words uttered by Young
when he first saw the present site
of Salt Lake City.
The group is headed bv Heber J.
Grant, president of the Latter Day
Saints (Mormon) church, with Bishop
D. G. Hunt of the Salt Lake City
Catholic diocese as first vice chairman.
Seek Legislative Fund
John Giles, executive secretary, s
id
that the committee will ask the next
session of the Utah le?:sk.ure, which
meets in January, for 250,000 to be-!
gin work on the project.
Two sculptors are now working on
preliminary sketches for the memor
ial Mahonri M. Young, a sculptor
for the New York World's Fair com
mission and direct descendant of the
church founder, and Avard Fairbanks,
1 head of the University of Michigan
! department of sculpture and a mem
J ber of a pioneer Utah family.
Giles explained that both Young
! arid Fairbanks will submit prelimin
: ary drawings of the monument some
time this summer. 1 he commiti.ee
will select one of the designs and
engage the successful sculptor per
marently to complete the design.
A site for the memorial has been !
i
selected in Emigration canyon on the !
outskirts of Salt Lake City, justj
above the United States Army Fort j
Douglas. I
Place Already Marked J
A smaller memorial has been in ;
place on the site for a few years, I
j but plans call fcr this to be sub- j
stituted by the larger structure. j
j According to church legend. Young j
was ill and Tying in a horse-drawn I
surrey as his followers crossed the j
Wasatch mountains on their way to j
the "promised land" that the church i
founder had seen in a vision.
As the parfy reached the knoll in
I Emigration canyon. Young ordered
that the wagon train stop, lie drew
himself up to the edge of the surrey
I and peered over into the valley be
j low.
! "It is enough," he told his followers.
! "This is the place. Drive on into the j
valley ar.d here we will build ourj
homes.'
YOUNG MIDGET WILL UN
DERGO GROWING TEST
FAN FRANCISCO (UP) Science
here is attempting to develop a po
tential midget into a man of nearly
I normal size and the first results
have been encouraging.
The case is that of John Irman. an
11 -year-old boy who is no larger than
a child of 4.
The point to be decided during the
present stage of observation is wheth
er his failure to develop is due to
malnutrition or to functional disturb
ances of the endocrine glands, which
are held responsible for the develop
ment of both midgets and giants.
The case was called to the atten
tion of specialists of the hospital of
the University of California in a
rather indirect manner.
Several weeks ago. residents of
Alameda where the boy lives, com
plained to the health authorities that
the little child apparently was not !
getting enough to eat. Investigation
was made, but from the mother's re
cital of the failure of her little boy
to grow, the specialists were inclined,
to believe that the trouble lav rather j
with his endocrine glands than with
nutrition.
The boy has been removed to the
county hospital and if adequate ob-1
s?rvation proves the correctness of
the diagnosis, an eftoit will be made
by hormone and glandular treatment
t: make him develop into a normal
sized boy and man. &
According to local specialists, if
the treatment is undertaken, it will
be one of the first and most inter
esting in medical annals since the im
portance of the endocrine glands and
their hormones has been discovered.

NEW YORK (UP) It has '"en a
tough year on the nation's i, 100,
000.000 circus industry, but "the
circus will come back it always

That reassurance conies from Roger
Littlei'ord of billboard's circus de-

"Ringling Brothers and Barnum

he said, "but it's certain to be back
next year. Circuses have gone
through bad times before, but the
circus has always survived. In 1 9 2 1!
there were hardly any shows on the
road. Next year there may be
scores."
But when Ringling Brothers, the
"greatest show on earth." announced
at Scranton. Pa., that it would cut
j short the regular 3 0-week season
j and move back to winter quarters.
the entertainment world was shock
;ed. It was the first incident of its

tution
