Secretary Wilbur Drives Silver Spike to Inaugurate Huge Project.
Las Vegas, Nov., Sept. 17.-(PC NS)—That "vision” which the Bible declares that the people must have “else they perish,” found fulfillment on the arid de sert near Las Vegas today.
Secretary of Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, drove a solid silver spike as the first actual construction work toward the building of the $165,000,000 Colorado river dam which, as the years roll on, will provide homes and living tor millions of people.
NAMED “HOOVER DAM"
As he finished driving the spike. Secretary Wilbur announced that Boulder Canyon Dam will be officially known from now on as the “Hoover Dam.”
“Our purpose in naming the project for President Hoover is to conform to other great irrigation works, notably, the Roosevelt and Coolidge dams in Arizona.” the secretary stated. “Up to now there has been no official title for this work.
TOWN IS 'BOULDER CITY’
Secretary Wilbur also announced that the construction town to be built for the workers near the dam site will be known as “Boulder City.”
Engineers, the prophets of this scientific age, prophesy that when the $500,000,000 Hoover dam project is completed, the southern basin of the Colorado river, including Los Angeles and other southern California cities, will support a population equal, almost, to that of the entire United States.

Crisis Unchanged As Peru, Uruguay Break is Hinted
Buenos Aires, Sept. 17-(INS)— The diplomatic crisis between Uruguay and Peru remained unchanged tonight, according to reports received here from Montevideo.
Although the Uruguayan government announced last night that diplomatic relations with Peru would be broken off immediately due to breaches of international conventions, no movement is apparent so far regarding the withdrawal of diplomatic envoys.
The Urugayan minister in Lima, Folsaba, was declared "persona non grata" by Sanches Cerro’s government, objecting the fact that he had sheltered in the legation refuges from former president Leguia’s administrative group, during the recent coup d'etat.
The government of Uruguay, however, decided not to recall Its minister in Lima, thus upholding the rights granted to diplomatic representatives by international law, of protecting officials in cases of emergency when refuge is sought in fear of personal injury. In such cases legations are

“About 100 S. C. students have been placed In positions offering them the opportunity to earn approximately half of their college expenses," stated Mrs. E. L. Decker, who is in charge of the part-time work lection of the Un' versify employment bureau. Over 300 appllcaUons for part-time positions have already been filled and more are coming Into the bureau office every day. Requests which are coming ln for students who want to work indicate that prospects of finding jobs for the rest of the applicants are pretty good."
A number of men have Jobs as janitors, while clerical work and stenography give many co-eds their chance to earn part of the
cost of their education. Some men aiso have clerical positions, and both men and women work for their board and room at various places by waiting on tables and similar work. A number of students fill the position of chemist In drug stores, and there is now a place open for a registered assistant ln pharmacy, Mrs. Dexter announced.
Students who are carrying full college work should not attempt to give more than three or four hours a day to outside jobs, Mrs. Dexter believes .although it la perfectly feasible for graduate students and others carrying only a few hours of work to devote more time to other employment.
