Cooper Will Build
Big Dam Across Nile
WASHINGTON, March 11. Hugh L.
Cooper, the engineer who built tho Keo
kuk power dam across tho Mississippi
and who has been chosen as a consulting
engineer .for the Egyptian government in
the construction of a new hydro-aectlo
dam across the Nile, was selected for tho
poBt by SlCfBalph Wilcox, supervising
engineer of the famous Assouan dam,
when he waa recently in the United
States and saw Cooper's work at Keokuk.
Mr. Cooper also des'gned and built the
power dam acrofs the Susquehanna river
at McCallo Ferry, regarded as one of
the notable engineering feats of tho coun
try. His specialty has been direction of
long dams of small heads, and as that is.
the problem presented to the engineers
seeking to control the waters of tho Nile,
It is assumed that It was this reputation
that led to his selection by the Egyptian
government.
HINDUS MUST GO BACK
TO THE PHILIPPINES
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March . XL
Thirty-five Hindus, detained on their ar
rival here recently by immigration
authorities, and who obtained their free
dom on 3500 bonds each, will have to re
turn to the Philippines, accotdlng to a
decision by Judge Doollng of the United
States district court. Judge Doollng held
that all Hindus landed In this country
after procuring passports at Manila were
aliens and should be deported on the
ground that they wero liable to become
public charges. Passports obtained in
the Philippines are not legal in tho United
States, according to the ruling. The im
migration authorities, the court ascer
tained, were the proper authorities to
pass on the question as to whether an
alien had the right to land In this country.

cape the armed guards, and of tented
cities over which militiamen In tho pay
of the mine companies stand guard.

companies that they Issued company
checks instead of Issuing postal orders as
requested by the miners and that they
charged the regular-postal rates on these
company checks," said the chairman.

SACItEMENTO, Cal., March ll.-Of-flclals
of Sacramento and Yolo counties
are still negotiations in an attempt to
decide as to the disposition of "General"
Kelley's army of -unemployed, now In
camp on the Yolo side of the Sacramento
river. Baoramento officials declared to
day that they would consent to no com
promise that would permit the jobless
bapd to return to the capital city. The
Yolo county authorities again appealed
to the Southern Pacific and Oakland &
Antloch railroad companies to provldo
transportation facilities to carry the un
employed back to San Francisco bay, but
the companies rofused.
The ranks of the "arniy" are dwindling.
Of 1,700 msn driven yesterday from this
city across the Sacramento river Into
Yolo county by the authorities, COO have
deserted. "With "General" Kelley. the
leader, and his lieutenants In jail charged
with vagrancy, many of; tho men are
losing Interest in the trip and there is
much talk of giving U up altogether.
But what wltl become of them no one
knows.
Solano, Contra Costa and Placer coun
ties served notice officially on Yolo and
Sacramento counties today that they
would not permit the Industrial Work
ers to come within their borders. This
decision, If enforced, would prevent the
"army" from proceeding either east
ward or westward from Its present camp
ing place.
While the ' citizens' committees have
ceased supplying the campers with pro
visions, Individual members sent enough
suplles today to feed the entire force.
"There lies the entire trouble," com
plained a city official. "If contrlbu
tlons to the 'army' were confined to
loaves of bread, so that Its diet would
be bread and water, these men would
scatter out and find work within a
week."

What every
woman knows
Any woman -who couBlatoutly
reads the advertisements in the
newspapers will never find her
self uninformed as to the very
latest note In tho fashions. Tho
shops keep in closest communi
cation with the fashion centers,
either directly or through the
large importers, and thoy kuow
ahead of time what the styles
are to be.
They do their buying accord
ingly, and then hasten to tell
their patrons, through tho
newspapers, what they have to
offer.
Every woman who is a reg-
ular reader of newspaper ad
vertisements knows that taffeta
will be popular this spring, that
the new skirts are draped In the
back, and that coats are short
and, "dinky,''
Those items are just exam
ples ot what a woman uncon
sciously picks up through news
paper advertisement reading.
When she goes to buy iior
spring clothes, all such bits of
information will make her task
surprisingly easy.
