after several numbers. The high

makes individual praise unnecessary,
yet 1t must be said that the female

Miss Reattx,s Return

The many friends of Miss Bessie Beatty,
a charming and very clever little lady,
who was formerly a member OF the
Herald staff, will be interested to learn
OF her return to Los Angeles after pro-
tracted absence.
Miss Beatty, whose success as news
paper woman only stimulated her am
bition for a wider field of activity, went
to Nevada last year, and, With Goldfeld
asl headquarters, entered upon the some
what arduous undertaking of collecting
material for and the subsequent publi-
cation of book which, even before 1t
was started was named who's Who in
Nevada" and which was to contain the
biographies of about rs of the leading
men of the state, and also much dis
criptive matter.
Soon after the young business woman
arrived on the field selected, she dis
covered an enterprising young business
man about to enter upon the same
project AS neither party had taken de-
cisive action in the matter 1t was de-
cided to meet and talk it over" and
decide which one should quit the game.

AUTOMOBILES OF FUTURE
TO HAVE LESS HORSE POWER
SIMPLER CONSTRUCTION WILL
PREVAIL
Movement for Better Materials In Con-
struction and Doing Away with
Superfuitles Grows in
Favor

In support of his proposal that a total
of $50 cubic inches piston displacement
be made the. basis of all speed and other
tests of motor cars Henry Ford says:
"A motor having $50 inches capacity
whether distributed over four six or any
other number of cylinders--is capable of
taking any automobile, touring car or
runabout anywhere and at As high a
speed as is safe. or as any sensible
person cares to ride. In fact, / am of
the opinion that from now on the ten
dency of leading designers will be to de-
crease the engine size instead of con-
tinuing the present craze for so, go and
70 horsepower machines
Increased efficiency is to be obtained
by decreasing the weight of the car.
This latter can be done in many ways.
First, by cutting out superfiuous parts
simplicity of design, having in view ef-
ficiency only. without pandering to fad
dish fancies simply to create talking
points" Second. by the use of better ma
terials. With Vanadiun steel we can cut
the weight of the car In half and still
retain greater factor of safety than we
had year ago.
Refinement of design in engine building
I'VE now build on scientific lines instead
of guesswork-has given us twice the
power we used to get out of the same
cylinder capacity. Half the weight with
twice the power gives four times the ef-
ficiency; the 20 horsepower car of tomor-
row will surpass in performance, speed,
hill climbing and every other practical
test the 60 horsepower car of yesterday.
And cost of maintenance. especially tire
cost which is the largest item in the
motoring bill now, will be reduced to a
point where the automobile, instead of
being the most expensive luxury, proper
tionately one enjoys, will be an every
day necessity. not only of the rich. but
of any man whose income is over $500

EARLY AMERICANS
USED IRRIGATION
DUG DITcHEs WHEN ROME WAS
YOUNG
Inhabitants Of Southwest, with Rough
Stone Tools, Practiced Art forN
Untold Centuries Before
Discovery

c. J. Blanchard in National Geographic
Magazine: American irrigation was old
when Rome was in the glory of it's youth.
The ancient aqueducts and subterranean
canals of South America, extending for
thousands of miles, once supplied great
cities and irrigated immense areas. Cen
turies before the venturesome Norseman
landed upon the bleak and inhospitable
shores of New England large popuIa-
tion dwelt in the hot valleys of our far
southwest. From the solid rock, with
primitive tools of stone, they cut bitches
and hewed the blocks for many-cham-
bered palaces, which they erected in the
desert or on the limestone ledges af deep
river canyons.
These voiceless ruins, older than the
memory of many centuries, tell the story
of thrifty home-.oving and semi-cul-
tureu people, concerning whose fate his
tory brings US no word. In these palaces
and in many miles of canals we may all
most read the story of another Egypt
a people toiling under the burning sun of
the desert, YEARLY and painfully execut-
ing the commands of an American
Pharaoh
Coming down to period less remote
and only slightly less interesting, we
mark the third page of our own written
history. Here, in the sixteenth century,
Coronado, the first great American ex-
plorer, swept up the Rio Grande valley
and journeyed as far north as Kansas.
In New Mexico he found pastoral race
dwelling In pueblos and practicing the
gentle art of irrigation as had their fore
fathers, perhaps as far back as in the
days of Abraham.
Methods Primitive
Certainly their agricultural methods
were in no wise different from those
which prevailed In the days Of the
prophets. Even unto this day their grain
Is gathered in great willow baskets, Is
threshed by the trampling of sheep and
goats and winnowed by the winds. Fields
which were cultivated three centuries ago
are still producing crops each year.
Some of these thoughts came TO the
government engineers as they ran their
lines of levels in the valley of Sat- river
in Arizona, and it seemed to them a
proper task for the greatest hation on
earth to restore once more the oases of
verdure which the desert had long ago
obliterated.
During the last quarter of century a
crop producing area of 10 100000 acres,
or another state of Massachusetts. has
been wrested from the desert. Irrigation
canals long enough to span the earth
twice and representing an outlay of $780,
100000, have been built. Every year this
area returns a harvest valued at more
than s15O,OOOOOO, and 100000 people dwell
in prosperity and contentment where only
a short time ago the wilderness reigned.
Uncle Sam is today the largest owner
of the great American desert, no doubt
because it was not considered worth
stealing. For many years the sentiment
has been growing that the government
should make habitable this vast empire
which is so great potentially.
