HIGH LINE CANAL SURVEY
Lines Being Run For Data On Pro. posed Extension of Reclamation
 Service Canals.

The Reclamation Service has party of fifteen men in the field making a survey from which estimates can be made of the cost of proposed high line canal from Laguna Dam through Imperial Valley and along the easterly side of Salton Sea to. the Coachella Valley.
 Camp has been established at Old Beach, and the men are now working northerly from that point. According to their present lines, the new canal would cross the railroad tracks of the Southern Pacific about five miles southeast of Imperial Junction.
 A peculiar feature was developed the past week, say these surveyors, in the discovery that the railroad sta tion at Imperial Junction is located exactly on the spot where one of the steel tubes of the typographical sur vey of 1903 should be located. At various points, when this survey was made, hollow steel tubes, with point on one end and screw top on the other, were embedded in the earth, and with in them were copies, of the topographi- cal map of the region.
 It is estimated that about six weeks through to the Coachella Valley

Ar 70 She Likes Football. .

Mothers in New York may be thank
full enough that the football season Is
over but Mrs. A. D. Winship of Ra-
cine. Wis. Is an utter stranger to the
feelings that dominate them. She is
70 years young and freshman In Co.
lumbus University, where she has en-
tered for two courses of psychology
and one Of English literature, but even
more remarkable than her thirst for
knowledge is the enthusiasm for foot
ball she manifested on every oppor-
tunity throughout the season. With
her spectacles firmly planted on her
nose, her gray hair neatly drawn back
from her benignant brow, she was a
prominent figure among the 'rooters"
at every game played on the home
grounds. Her presence. at first ridi-
culed by the other students OF her class,
was so much taken for granted be-
fore the end OF the season that 1t
would have been missed seriously had
she stayed away from any game. 1t
is pleasant to know her zeal for ath-
letics did not interfere with, her studies
and that she stands an excellent chance
of getting her diploma before she Is
much more than so.

SEASONS COLOR oARD BEAUTTuL
Artistic Shades and Tfnts I'm Soft

Graduations Delight to Gull
tivated Eye.
On the whole, colors have a slight
ly subdued beauty. which makes the
display OF materials in the shops de-
light to the cultivated eye.
There Is scarcely to be found q crude
or dispieasing dye among them, and
all are so softened and degraded that
they resemble the exquisite dull tones
OF the Japanese or the sombre rich
ness of the Renaissance colorists. The
variety of hues is INFINITE and the naive
enthusiasm expended In giving each
shadow of shade its proper name IL
joy. These names are sometimes de-
scriptive. sometimes romantic, some
times quite mysterious.
Blues are at present in frst favor
and range from the extremely dark
blue. almost black. called crows wing
and bleu de mutt through the whole
gamut OF old blue. national blue, sap
phire, periwinkle and turquoise, Medi-
terranean. Natter and Delft. The
newest shade, bleu meunier, is the ak
act tone of the French miller's linen
blouse.
Greens still hold their own and re-
Joice in delightfully."- appropriate names
such as fir, ivy, olive, lime, laurel,
.
empire. bronze and billiard greens.
Browns and gfays tone themselves to
the furs so much used for trimmings
and have quaint names. There are
mouse. elephant, mole. squirrel and
chinchilla grays, not to mention Gin
der. silver. violet and blue grays, and
puce or flea brown. deep and sombre.
putois or polecat. seal. zibeline. bronze,
chestnut and pigeon browns.
Some of the purple tones are more
lovsly than would seem possible to
that rather violent color. such as
"Prune de Monsieur and violet
passe." which is supposed to repre-
sent the half-withered violet in its
dull. brownish purple. There IS also
q faded rose and faded red, besides
some excellent reds, such as Bordeaux,
old red and terra Gotta. and the indie
scribable shades that are neither
purple nor brown nor red, but vary
ing mixtures of all three, with Inn
portant names of their own.
Shades of bronze through gold to
palest yellow are rich and exquisite to
q degree, while luscious pinks ranging
from coral to flush of dawn are after
white perhaps in the greatest demand
for evening toilets. The most poetic
shade OF all is Ophelia green. a soft,
delicate tone with blush reflection
presumably the exact shade of the
water in which Ophelia was drown
ed.
with this wonderful variety of
shades II may yet be said that of the
lighter tones the shades of gold are
perhaps most in fashion. especially the
old tones.
