One of the chief uses to which the pletures can be put is as an educational and cultural fac- tor in the lives of our children.” Continuing the discussion, members of the committee brought out the point that it was particularly vital in small towns to guide that selection of pictures for the juvenile audience, @s the movies frequently are their only recreation and play a large part in their lives, Plan List of Films. It was decided that the motion pie- ture committee should prepare a clas- sified Ist of pictures, rated according to their merits, on the basis of intel- ligence, beauty and moral value, to be sent out to each State chairman and to any other federation members who should ask for it.

FORUM IS CALLED FOR TONIGHT ON ARLINGTON WATER PROJECT Officials Will Attempt to Clarify All Issues Raised in Connection With Referendum to Be Held in Two Weeks. Desirous of enlightening the voters on all problems affecting the Arling- ton County water supply project and the bond-issue plan for financing it, officials of the water commission an- nounced today they will conduct a “question-and-answer” forum at the meeting _tonight of the County Civic Federation in the county courthouse. With the referendum on the bond issued proposal bu t two weeks off, | county officials are anxious to clari the minds of all citizens with regard | Meade prize, Robert Burnell Nelson, | {0 the various points naturally ari ing with so important a public und taking, it was explained by H. C. § fell, chairman of the Arlington Coun- ty Water Supply Commission “We are prepared to answer any and all inquiries in connection with the plans for supplying the county with water from the Federal pump- ing station at Dalecarlia,” Mr. Saffell stated. *“We hope that all whose understanding of certain phases of the proposal is the least bit beclouded will attend the meeting this eve- ning.” Bond Project Attacked. Announcement of the plans for a forum discussion regarding the water project followed publication recently of an open letter to Asa E. Phillips, consulting engineer of the Water| Board, propounding a set of ques- tions designed to attack the soundness of the present bond issue financing scheme. Mr. Philllps, who is conflned to his home in this city today with a cold, told The Star that the questions asked in the letter were for the most part based on ‘misinformation” and he proceeded to take them up, one by one, in explanation. In reply to a query as to what will be the security ‘“‘offered purchasers of the bonds to make them salable,” the water engineer asserted that the county. itself swill be the security. “The county is going to underwrite the entire issue,”’ he said. “The court, granting the praver for a special vote on the bond plan, decreed that the whole issue must not exceed $750,000. This maximum was purposely fixed in excess of the estimated cost of the system to provide for contingencles. We estimate, and have repeatedly published the fact, that the cost will be apportioned as follows: W ashington district, $200,000; Arlington district, $250,000, and Jefferson district, §120,- 000, a total expense of $600,000. There will be only sufficient bonds issued to meet the actual cost of the system. Vote to Be by Districts. “Each of the three magisterial dis- tricts will vote separately on the proj- ect, and rejection of the plan by one will have no effect on the others. The district or districts carrying the elec- tion for the bonds will get the water. In the event any of the districts fail to join the project, the bond issue will be proportionately less. “The county, in underwriting the issue, will act in a capacity exactly similar to a man_who indorses the note of another. If the whole water system, by some inconceivable cata- clysm, should be a total ‘flop,’ the county will have to stand the financial crash. It will have as its own secu- rity the mains and system itself, how- ever. The security for the bonds is 100 per cent sound. “Another question was how much of the annual water revenues will go toward interest on the bonds and how much toward the sinking fund, the implication being set forth that the financing scheme proposed will not take care of the various expenses. $600,000 Needed in 34 Years. “We estimate that the annual cost for the metered allotment of 40,000 gallons to each consumer will be $27, ‘We have figured that a minimum of 1,500 consumers will be necessary to retire a bond issue of $600,000 in 34 years, the time limit prescribed. The annual revenue from 1,600 consumers will_total $40,500. “Under the bond retirement plan which I have recommended to the county water board the issue will be retired on an increasing scale of amounts, graduated according to five- | vear intervals of retirement. Ten thousand dollars’ worth of the bonds would be paid off during the first &5 years, $20,000 at the end of 10 years, $40,000 in ¥5 years, $80,000 in 20 years, $140,000 in 25 years and pos- sibly the whole of the remainder, or $110,000 in 30 years. “The interest, consequently, will be reduced every five years as the ad- ditional groups of bonds are retired. The net interest and sinking fund for the first five-year period will amount, under this plan, to $81,625 annually, taking into consideration interest re- ceived from water main frontage as- sesments creditable against the bond interest charges. “Other annual expenses during the first period will be, approximately, $2,775 for operating expenses, $1,600 for maintenance costs, $1,000 for con- tingencies and an estimated $3,500 Yor Arlington | purchase of the water from the Gov- ernment. That totals up to $40,500 equalling the water revenues at $2 from 1,500 users. Arrangement Held Sound. “The arrangement is perfectly sound and business-like and has no ‘jokers' or other drawbacks. “Consumers will be assessed $1 per front foot for water r running in front of thelr premises, the pro- ceeds to go toward extension of sup- ply mains in other sections. A small fee for tapping to the main g be made, perhaps about §3. holders must lay their own the main. sessed more than $100 under the front footage charge, however, as this would be inequitable. “I have never, as charged, ‘threat- ened to fix it so that if one of the magisterial districts should not sup- port the bond issue it would never be able to get water in the future. I have stated, however, that one dis- trict, falling to join in with the others at this time, should not expect the other two to bear the expense of constructing supply mains large enough to furnish the other district | with water sometime in the future, | and that in view of that, the repent- | ing district probably would have to lay its own separate mains through | the other counties to the Dalecarlia pumping station.” The fourth question propounded of | Mr. Phillips concerned his salary as | consulting engineer. In advising The Star to consult the official records in the Arlington County Court House for this information, he added that his present service as consulting engineer was on a per dlem basls and that it would automatically end on June 15. He is being employed, he explained, solely to work out the engineering phases of the project, and when that work ils completed, he declared, the county will have no further need of an engineer. Record Shows Salary. The minutes of the meeting of the board of supervisors held April 16 at the courthouse, and recorded in the annals of the county, contain the fol- lowing: “On motion of Mr. Ingram, second- ed by Mr. Turnburke and voted against by Mr. Duncan, Asa E. Phil- lips was appointed consulting en- gineer on the water supply at a com- pensation of $25 per day for actual time, in days and fractions of days, en- gaged on work connected with the water supply. As stated by Mr. In- gram, Mr. Phillips, serving as consult- ing engineer to the citizens’ water supply committes of Arlington Coun- ty, had drawn the bilt introduced in Congress by Representative R. Wal- ton Moore and known as H. R. 4505 to permit the delivery of the water from the Federal water supply pump- ing station at Dalecarlia, had appear- ed before the House and_Senate com- mittees and before the War Depart- ment, urging approval of the bill, and was an engineer of wide experience and especlally fitted to successfully handle this undertaking, both in the design and installation and in conduct- ing the necessary negotlations with the War Department. “He also stated that while the mini- mum compensation fixed by consult- | ing engineers was $100 per day, Mr. | Phillips, on account of his deep in- terest in the successful consummation of a water supply system for the country of his birth, and realizing that the board in undertaking this work would be required to exercise the strictest economy, had stated that he would serve the board for a com- pensation of $25 a day.” PLAN LONGEST TELESCOPE Astronomers at the famous Mount ‘Wilson Observatory, in California, are looking forward to the day when a telescope three times as big as the biggest telescope in the world today will be bullt, says David Dietz, in the Detroit News. The proposed telescope would cost $10,000,000. Its erection would consti- tute one of the trilumphs of engineer- ing skill of the century. The contribu- tions to knowledge of the universe which it would make possible would prove invaluable. The Mount Wilson Observatory now has the largest telescope in the world. It is the 100-inch reflector. “A 300-inch reflector has been con- sidered from the point of view of op- tical and mechanical difficulties,” Dr. ‘Walter S. Adams, director of the ob- servatory, says. ‘‘We have come to the conclusion that there are no diffi- cultfes that could not be surmounted.” There are about 6,000 stars in the heavens which - are visible to the naked eye. Without the telescope, astronomy would have stopped there. But when Galileo built his first tele- scope a new era opened.

MOSCOW, June 1.—Continuous communication with a traveling trans-Siberlan train unprecedented in the history of Russian communica- tion, has enabled us to keep in touch with John Goldstrom, as he travels across the treeless steppes of Siberia. Saturday night his train crossed the wooded Ural Mountains, and the world racer had entered the Asian lap of his journey. Sunday morning, through energetic collaboration of the Soviet officlals, Goldstrom received our telegrams at Omsk. He is now free to watch the scenery without care, while his train travels to Chita, 2,000 miles from Omsk. There he may be met by Japanese planes, or he may be com- peled to pay for a special train to carry him into Manchuria. He should arrive there Thursday, with four days to make the steamship President Madison at Yolkohama. Passes Vast Provinces. Goldstrom finds the vast Siberian plain very interesting.

CHICAGO, June 1.—Despite the troubled conditions now existing in Poland, there are indications of a largo attendance of pilgrims from | that country at the Eucharistic Con- gress here, June 20-24. One pilgrim- age of 50 persons has left Gdynia and will arrive in New York June 15 on the steamship Frederick VIII, sailing from Copenhagen June 3. This party will be led by Rev. Joseph Jaworski, an American by birth, who until re- cently was a chaplain in the Polish army, and is now u professor in one of the universities of Poland. Among the pilgrims will be Count Paul Sapleha, the Countess Sapieha and their daughter. Count Sapicha is a member of an old Polish family and is a brother to the Bishop of Cracow.

Mr. Fenning denicd this allegation and called to the Florida Representative's attention steps he had taken to facilitate the transfer but which were objected to by the medical authorities at the hos. pital. Mr. Green insisted just before he left the stand that “I didn't get action until I denounced the guardian as a human vulture on the floor of the se.”” Mr. Hogan objected and that the ‘“contemptible state- ment” be stricken from the record. Mr. Blanton charged that Mr. Hogan was “trying to insult a member of Congress and ought to be called down.” After Mr. Hogan had de- clared, sarcastically, that it is ‘‘per- fectly proper to refer to my client as a human vulture,” Chairmgn Dyer ordered the incident stricken from the 4 a former clerk at St. Elizabeth's, was called by Mr. Blanton to identify an affidavit he had made and which the Texan indi cated was in contradiction of his own sworn testimony several days ago.
