A. Ockerson, who was sent here to superintend the work. Here is the notice. "Department of the Interior, Office of Engineer, etc., Yuma, Arizona, Dec. 3.-In view of the delays incident to securing the assent of Mexico to the propos- ed work along the west bank of the Colorado river and the closure of the break, the letting of contracts and the employment of labor will be deferred until such time as satisfactory arrangements can be concluded. No definite date for the inauguration of construction work can be given at this time. It is proper to say that the delay is not occasioned by objections to the work as such on the part of Mex ican officials, but wholly on ac- count of certain proper formalities which must be complied with.

AMERICAN STORES
EXCEL THE ENGLISH
Our Women Earth'S Great
est Shoppers.

London, March 18.-Mr. Lawrle,
manager of London's biggest depart
ment store, gave an address the other
evening before the System club, the
members of which are London bust
ness men, on his recent visit to the
United States.
Unless Britons woke up, he said,
they would no longer be able to call
themselves nation of shopkeepers.
He was surprised at the enormous
size of American stores. If a man in
London saw a store with $50 feet
frontage he was staggered, but what
would the Londoner think of an
American store with 500 or even 600
feet and twelve floors, every one of
which was crowded with people.
How was it, asked Mr.. Lawrie, that
New York had a dozen great stores
and London, with its larger popula-
ton, only two or three? 1t was be-
cause the average American woman
spends three or four times as much
for dress and other things as the
English woman. He saw no poor or
dirty people in America. 1t was a
land of luxury and plenty.
Mr. Lawrie's statement that Ameri-
can women spend more money on
their clothes is accepted as only part
ly explaining why American women
are better dressed than English wo-
men.
81 think a good deal of the Amer
lean woman's success in dressing lies
in two facts" said the manager of a
Bond street firm. "She has studied
the art of dressing and she has cult
waited original ideas of her own.
You do not find an American woman
coming in to be advis I'd, but with
her own ideas, which she expects to
be carried out in the minutest de-
tail These ideas are distinctly orig
inal and in good taste. Her eye for
color schemes issszsseIlent. Both these
facts go to prove why

Geniux and Mediocrity.

Corpeille did not speak correctly the
language of which he was such mas
ter. Descartes was silent in mixed
society. Themistocles, when asked to
play on a lutte. said, II cannot fiddle
but can make a little village into
great city" Addison was unable to
converse in company. Virgil was heavy
collouuially. La Fontaine was coarse
and stupid when surrounded by men.
The Countess of Pembroke had been
often heard to say of Chaucer that his
silence was more agreeable to her
than his conversation. Socrates, cele-
brated for his written orations, was so
timid that he never ventured to speak
in public. Dryden said that he was
unfit for company. Hence it has been
remarked, "Mediocrity can talk; it is
for genius to observe"
