Scouring of River Bed Adds to Earning Capacity. Men's Yeomens WHITE Washington, D. C Hoover dam's great power plant has been in- creased in value by $1,500,000 cause waters from the dam are carrying away from the stream bed below it each day enough silt to fill three freight trains of eighty cars each. The scouring of the bed was cited by John C. Page, reclamation commissioner, as an interesting illustration of the changes wrought in the character of the Colorado river by construction of Hoover dam on the a line. The regulated flow has carried away in the last two years 9,100,000 tons of silt deposited in past ages by the overburdened stream, with the result that the stream is clear to a point e miles below the dam. It no longer looks like the Colorado river. New rapids have been formed where the removal of d silt has exposed ancient and boulders. The scouring, Page reported to Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes, has added about four feet to the effective head of the turbines in the dam.

Muddy water still pours from the Grand canyon into Lake Mead above the dam, but the silt settles in the bottom of the lake for 115 miles. Clear water thus rushes through the dam's outlets and, because of its regular flow, scours the stream bed below. The flow is now regular the year around, whereas before construction of the dam the Colorado river fluctuated between floods as great as 300,000 cubic feet per second to 300 feet in the dry season. Flood and drought thus have been eliminated as threats to farmers in the lower valley of the Colorado. U. S. Navy Planning to Retire 66 Ships by 1938 San Diego, Calif .During the next 20 months the United States navy will place at least 66 ships on the "retired list," it as learned in naval circles here. The majority of these vessels will be destroyers and submarines which now are based at San Diego and which will be replaced by newer fighting craft. By the end of the 1938 fiscal year 32 San Diego destroyers will have been decommissioned, along with three submarines. Thirteen other destroyers will lose their places on navy lists before July, 1938. Before July 1 of this year the San Diego destroyers Buchanan, Evans, Hale, Lea, Philip, Roper, Twiggs, Aaron Ward, Wickes, Chandler, Dahlgren, Litchfield, Overton, Preble, Tracy, Hov-eLong, and Southard will be gone. Others listed for early decommissioning include the Borie, Brooms, Dallas, MacLeish, McCormick, Perry, Pruitt, Sicard, Simpson, Trever, Truxton, Wasmuth, end Zane. Ten submarines, are listed for the naval junk heap. They are the Bass, Barracuda? based in San Diego, and the 3 4 and Four minelayers also are to go along with the destroyers Blakeley, Bernadou, Breckenridge, Cole, Du Pont, Ellis, Greer, Tarbell, Upshur and Yarnall, which are based outside of San Diego. Newer, speedier and more modern fighting craft, already built or under construction, are scheduled to vestake the places of the over-ag- e sels in fleet anchorages on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, it was said, bringing the navy up to near full strength.
