A Navajo Vice.

The Navajo is an inveterate gambler.
Not only are there the professionals.
who live entirely by the practice. but
even the small boys are gamesterS
and adapt the pictorial Sunday-school
cards to gaming purposes. Their blan-
kets illustrate gambling. and even their
account of the creation must have WOW
en into it the story Of game. Thus
a serious and apparently native vice of
formidable proportions at once con-
fronts the teacher and the missionary.
The question of the best way to over
come it is still an open one. The prohi-
bition of its practice does not go to the
root of the matter. and all our logic
fails 20 convince the Indian that he has
not as great a right to play for stakes
as he has to breathe.-Southern Worh-

RESTRICTING WATERS USE.
Two Nations to Check Power Devel
ooment at the 500.

Ii would appear from information
developed at a public hearing given by
the International Waterways Com
mission in Buffalo to lake and power
interests that the use of the water
Of st. Mary's River at the 500 for
power development purposes is TO be
firmly restricted, as the commission
has formulated regulations to govern
the use OF water for such purposes.
These regulations restrict the use to
l9.500 cubic feet per second.
Before the full text of the regula-
tions is made public they will have TO
be submitted to the Governments OF
the United States and Canada. Ii is
known. however that the level Of
Lake Superior is to be maintained at
from COL 5 to 6030 feet above the mean
tide at New York and that no company
is to be given the right to use the
water Of st. Marys River without the
Joint approval of the Secretary OF
War of the United States and the Min
lister of Public Works of Canada, and
that no grant for the use of the water

years.
The engineers Of the commission
state that the use of 1000 cubic feet OF
water per second by the power COM
panies will lower the level of Lake
Superior about one-tifth Of foot and
the use of 5000 cubic feet per second
will lower it about one-third Of a
foot.
The members of the commission
were greatly interested in a statement
to them that four vessels that were
$50 feet over all had been built for the
lake navigation, and that two vessels
600 feet over all were building. These
latter boats are to be 5S feet beam
and SO feet in the hold.
a representative of the Lake Car
riers' Association said he expected to
live to see the time when lake yes

service on the Upper Lakes.
