S. League Standing PUSHED BY GOOD U. S. Aims to Prevent Traffic Jam as Report Reveals Big Increase in Vessels. Washington, Sept.

16 P) Fore seeing the day when the capacity of the Panama Canal will be crowded by commerce of the nation. Secretary Good has taken steps to stave off the traffic Jam by approving the erection of a $12,000,000 dam at Alhajuela, Canal Zone, to provide additional storage water. Recognition of the need for additional water has followed a confer ence here at which Governor Harry Burgess of the Canal Zone told Secretary Good that the annual water shortage was threatening the rap-Idly growing traffic over the waterway four months out of the year. The Secretary approved a suggestion by the Governor that $2,000,000 be asked of Congress in December to begin immediate construction of the dam. The structure would be approxi mately 170 feet high, forming a reservoir covering 22 square miles and providing for storage of 22,000,000.000 cubic feet of besides aiding in the control of the Chagres River during floods in the rainy season which are a menace to navigation.

Preliminary work on the pro posed structure has been carried on in recent years through a $300,000 appropriation, but the undertaking of the project has yet to be sanc tioned oy congress. It is estimated five years will be Tequired to complete the work. In his report for the first six months of 1929 he showed that 3,755 commercial vessels passed through the Canal carrying 18.431,772 tons of cargo and paying In tolls, compared with 3,658 commercial vessels carrying 16,846,140 tons of cargo and paying $15,121,750 ui tolls for the same period in 1925, which established the previous high record. Governor Burgess has found it necessary to extend the time of operating the Canal from 12 to 16 hours a day, which Increases the capacity from 30,000.000 tons to about 40,000,000 tons a year. Rookie Halts Taxi Cab, Clubs 3 Into Submission Three alleged gangsters of Manhattan's West Side are under arrest today on a Joint charge of stealing a taxicab because Patrolman William Boyle, a "rookie," was made suspicious by the eratlc manner in which the cab was progressing down Amsterdam ave, near 144th st, yesterday.

Whalen said today. No disorder of any sort is anticipated, Mr. Whalen said, but in districts where contests have arisen, particularly in the Boro of Queens, double details of police have been arranged for, he said. These extra police, according: to the Commissioner, are to be recruited for duty outside the precincts to which they are assigned so as to avoid any possibility of favoritism by the police. All magistrates courts will remain open until the polls close at 9 o'clock tomorrow night so as to be ready to consider any complaints of irregularities that may arise during the day.

Finds African Tribe Practices Birth Control Sociologists who delight In tracing modern inventions and ideas to their source will probably hall the information that knowledge and th practice of birth control, so far from being a modern discovery, has for centuries been an open book to the Gogos, a savage, warlike tribe which inhabits the Jungles of East of Africa, according to Frederick Carno-chan, who returned here today on the White Star liner Baltic.

Night flying for sight seeing as well as for commercial purposes was inaugurated at Roosevelt Field, L. Saturday night. This was made possible by the use of the most powerful flood light yet built. A program of stunt flying was staged to show the possibilities of the lighting equipment of the field as well as to entertain about 2,000 spectators who paid their way Into the field. The rain did not Interfere with the program, the Jight of 12,000,000 candlepower proving itself well able to penetrate the drops.

Ceiling 500 Feet High. The "ceiling," however, was only about 500 feet high and the spectators were fascinated watching the shadows of the planes and the performers on the low hanging curtain of clouds. The floodlight, which Is housed in a substantially built concrete lighthouse in the east corner of the old Roosevelt Field section of the enlarged airport, was built and Installed by the Sperry Gyroscope Company of Flatbush ave. Extension. It Is built around the high intensity arc light invented by Elmer Sperry.

Equipped with a reflector and a Fresnel lens system, the lamp distributed the light of the arc through an angle of 180 degrees. The lens is a beautiful piece of glass work, has a height of three feet and a diameter of nearly five feet. More than ample light for reading a newspaper was furnished in all parts of the field by the light. The light is operated on 110 volts and takes a current of 150 amperes, or about 30 times as much current as the average electric fiatiron used in households. Preston R.

Bassett, chief engineer of the Sperry Company, stated that- many beautiful effects In rain, not ordinarily observed in the dull light that accompanies rainstorms, can be observed under the Intense illumination produced by searchlight, OUSTS VEHICLE INSPECTOR.

They were held on charges of masquerading and disorderly range themselves with us on that, so that this meeting, the tenth, ordinary session of the Assembly of the League, may be known as the Optional Clause Assembly." Senator Raps MarDonald. Mr. MacDonald Ignored the fact that, instead of leading the way, he was following, as some 43 nations had already accepted the said optional clause. The following day the Honorable Raoul Dandurand, Senator and delegate from Canada, took the opportunity to point out that Prime Minister MacDonald was not even leading the British Empire. Who was? Listen, and you shall hear.

"At the request of the British Government it Was agreed at the Imperial Conference in 1926," he said, "that none of the States of the British Empire should decide to sign the optional clause without previously notifying all- the others. Canada recently notified the other Em pire Dominions that it intended to accept the optional clause, and it is sun in corresponaence wiw several of them about the matter. We were happy in August of this year to re ceive from Great Britain word that she also would sign the optional clause." He said it, with a look from the speaker platform, that lmpllea: "Take that, Ramsay MacDonald And don't try to steal any more of my thunder." Hold World Spotlight. And If MacDonald got his wish that the session should go down In history as the "Optional Clause Session," what about the proposal Premier Brland of France made, out lining an economic federation of Europe, a first step toward that conception of his which has become known as "The United States of Europe?"

I said, quickly, "Hello." but not certain It was the right thing. The girl at the other end was polite. She said. "J'ecoute, monsieur," or, In other words, "I'm listening, sir."

Geneva, Sept. 4 (By Mail) That American tourists visiting the buildings of the League of Nations frequently ask the guides if the United States is now a member, that one woman asked where she could file her own application for membership, and that another complained that as a dues-paying member of the League she had the right to expect politer greetings from thf doorkeeper, suggests that confusion still exists in the minds of part of the American public.

If the inference that persons Interested enough in the League to come to Geneva to look at it have a better background of information than those who stay at home is true, then what of the stay-at-homes? Looked at closely, from a seat in which the inside baseball can be watched, it becomes a humnn spectacle with almost as much personal axe-grinding as any board of aldermen or State Legislature.

"Haircut?" asked Joe. I nodded, and he proceeded to cllr and shear and clip. And the funny thing is, he said never a word. Now, this was a very unusual circumstance, for Joe Is of the old-fashioned, reliable and talkative tribe of barbers. In the old days, before I went to Europe and became practically a cosmopolite, Joe and I used to discuss all sorts of matters between clips.

Philosophy and the Brooklyn baseball team and II Duce Mussolini and things like that or Joe did. Now he worked away, efficiently and in silence. It was well, harrowing. I tried once or twice to rouse him out of his preoccupied speechlessness. I said, "How's every little thing?" and "Family all right?" But he only grunted and kept on plowing.

Finally I decided to give up in despair. And Just then Joe, having apparently become good and readv to talk, talked. "You," he said. "Just come back from the other side, no?" It as so and I admitted it. More nipping and silence from Joe.

Then: About This Man Kenny. "Whald you do about a haircut in them foreign countries? I see by the papers that this man Kenny, he's over there and he needs a hair rut, and what does he do? He phones for his ffarber to come over. He give him a trip to Europe." "Yes, I read that, too." "That man Mr. Kenny you know Urn?" "No." "lie a nice man." Would Be Good for Joe. I got the idea.

But the fact I would have been only too happy to give Joe a trip to Europe. In Parts, where the barbers Kir moiiktathlos and, armed wlt.1 mrlxinn razors, look like the kind o( barber you wouldn't want to i rust yourself with, unarmed. I. in t''t. had the same Idea as Mr.

No sooner said than there I wai i.t a telephone prepared to make the call which would bring Joe aero the ocean on the next boat. I lifted the metallic thlngamajlg, or instrument, from its book. I put new subway routes and extensions of present routes proposed.
