A nation-wide oratorical-contest on the American Constitution, with prizes ag- gregating $5,000, will be staged in Los Angeles this year, according to announce- ments received from the Contest Head- quarters, 005 Hibbs Building, in this city. Prior to the finals, which will take place June 25, there will be regional trials in seven selected cities in various parts of the country, so that each region may be represented. Each of these seven contestants will be assured of a place in the final contest in Los Angeles. Purpose. The National Intercollegiate Oratorical Contests are for the purpose of increasing- interest in and respect for the Constitu- tion of the United States. The contest of 1925, the first one upon a national scale in the history of higher education, proved so successful that it was decided to continue the movement. The contests are financed and conducted by the Better American Federation of California as a ffij| contribution toward better and more in- telligent citizenship. It is hoped that they will continue to be the means of turning college thought and enthusiasm toward the great and unending business of government—and particularly toward that form of constitutional government under which America has risen to the primacy among the nations of the earth.

The prizes will be seven in number and will be paid in cash at the grand final meeting in Los Angeles on June 25, 1926, This giant hydro-electric unit weighs 750 tons and consists of a vertical shaft in the following amounts : hydraulic turbine attached to an electric generator delivering 52,000 kilowatts at 12,000 vows.
