port on Proposed Irrigation Plant.

That the construction Of dam and
reservoir near Box canyon on the CHA
River. Arizona, is feasible is the sub
stance of a report Of the board OF army
engineers just submitted To the Indian
bureau. The site is on the San Carlos
Indian reservation. The Southern Pacific
railway. in 1919. sought to acquire a
right OF way 10 improve its grade along
the ella river and across the San Carlos
reservation. However. tn. question of
whether it was better to let the railroad
have better grade or 10 provide irri-
CATION facilities for the reservation came
up, and board OF army engineers was
appointed to determine whether the dam
was feasible. The proposed railroad
right of way was on the site for the
dam. and t was through the efforts of
Assistant Commissioner Merritt of the
Indian bureau that the railroad was pre-
vented from getting this right Of way.

All lines OF this occupation are affected

The reason is because the British gov

As to women, in Great Britain only one

in this country one in every FIVE fell a

poisoning among pottery workers in the
United states are six times as numerous
as they are in Great Britain. and the
women here suffer more than twelve
times as much as do their Br. fish sisters.
Going further, with less than one-fourth

ployed in this trade, American potteries
have almost twice as many cases of lead
poisoning. Bureau of labor agents We're
astounded at the facts brought out, be-
cause they We're told Owe: and over again
