LARGE DAM WOULD SOLVE THE
 MESA IRRIGATION PROBLEMS

in all the world, about 5O0,0O0 acres, one-third of which is here in Arizona. When it is remembered that much of the valuable citrus lands of Southern California was wholly ruined by the recent floods in that section, where in many instances orange trees twenty years old were washed out by the roots and sent whirling down the maddened streams, the necessity of at once developing citrus lands en- tirely removed from the danger Of overflow is at once apparent The mesa lands of Imperial Valley are said to be almost as good as those of Yuma. It would therefore be a God-send to the state of Sunshine and Gold if it could advertise to the world that it has citrus lands that the overflow can't touch and lands that are con- paratively frostless.
 Acting Chief of Construction E. H. Baldwin, supervised the building of the Elephant Butte dam, while a sim liar service was done for Roosevelt dam by Supervising Engineer L. c. Hill. With these two men still in the United States Reclamation service they can put their heads close to- gether and very soon tell whether it is feasible to construct Arizona Charley's" big mesa-to-mesa dam at Yuma.

CHILDREN'S DISEASES

The generally accepted be- lief in Yuma is, children are bound to catch them, and that there is little use in trying to guard against them. More over, most people imagine that they rarely kill. There could be no greater mistake, says Dr. c. c. Pierce in the Youths Companion.
 Whooping cough is one of the great killers of children. In the United States alone it destroys the lives of more than ten thousand small boys and girls every year. Measles is annually responsible for the death of more than elev- en thousand American chil- dren-not including large numbers who succumb to the broncho-pneumonia that very often follows it. Not only do those and other children's dis eases take heavy toll in death, out too frequently they are followed by after-effects that cripple the child or shorten it's life. And yet people say, Its only the measles" or
 Whooping cough doesn't amount to anything" It even happens sometimes that a mother deliberately exposes her child to infection, in the belief that the child can hardly escape the disease in the long run, and that it is better to have the thing over and done With:"
 The belief that children's S diseases are taken in 8 mild er form by the young than by adults is widely accepted. That belief is exactly con- trary to fact. Not only does ! persons liability to catch them decrease with age, but the percentage of cases that terminate fatally is greatly decreased. The longer meas 'es or whooping cough can be postponed, the less liability is there of infection, and the greater likelihood of recov- cry. If a child escapes those complaints during the first five years of life, the danger from them is comparatively small. Nearly nine-tenths of all deaths from measles oc- cur in children under five years of age; and few die o} whooping cough after the fifth year.

INFIDELITY RAMPANT

lnfidelity is rampant among the professional and student classes of Latin-America, ac- cording to the report of the commission on literature which presented it's report yesterday to the congress on religious work in Latin-Am- erica which is in session at Panama.
 Quoting a correspondent the commission said:
 "In probably no class of men in the civilized world to- day is infidelity as rampant as among the professional and student classes of Latin America. As suggestive of their attitude toward religion Dr. Robert E. Speer quoted a Brazilian professor of law: There is no longer confi- dence in the Christian dog ma. The supernatural has been baniShed from the do- main of science God is a myth Man invented God and gods that the world might be ruled. The simple spirit refrains from all criti- cism and accepts the idea ot God without resistance. The cultured spirit repels the idea in virtue of its inherent con- tradictions.
 As a further example of the attitude of the cultured classes of Latin-America to- ward religion a quotation is given from an address by a Mexican literary man deliver ed recently in the United States.
 The Mexican scholar divid- ed the field of cultural inter eStS into three great divisions. The first was scientific or ma terial where all was exactness and precision; the second was the adobe of beauty, poe try, art; and the third was the gloomy limbo of mysti- cism, where ghoStly shades from the past reign supreme, and where religion is the dominant interest as repre- sented by St. Francis of As SiSi.'
 The commission urges the | necessity of education as the best means of overcoming the apathy or hostility of I Latin-Americans toward reli- zion. It recommends the es- tablishment of religious pub lications, the maintenance of | book stores and of a press bu- reau. A cooperating com mittee is suggested which will | raise funds to enable the mis- Sionaries to place books and periodicals within the reach | of the poorest. The individ- ual efforts of the past, it is stated, have utterly failed to cope with the situation ano the field should be under the continua l supervision of a well-organized commission on literature.

perew on pavid
the Montgomery Adyortiser

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Chauncey M. Depew, aged SO, and still a
quaint and interesting figure, holds that
has been the cause of premature
deaths of man, people. In the course of
a recent. address on the art of HGrowing
Old" the former senator from New York
said:
"David's 18th Psalm (the one mentioning
three-score Years and ten as mans allot-
ted span) has killed more people than this
war, ten times over. They believed they
had to die-and died.
Just because David said t7O' needn't
prevent you from going or to so. 80, or 100.
Don't retire at GO, or 70. Keep on GO
ing. Have an interest in life. If not sport
then public service.
"Have an eye for a pretty gir,-and tell
your wife all about her.
You needn't be a mollycoddle or an in
sipid Pnllyana when you're 20 or older.
ties as you go along and you'll be glad
to have lived this glorious life"
When O man reaches 70 it Is natural, in
the light of tradition, that he should feel
that his days are numbered, and that 1t is
useless for him to make the same strug-
gle to hold on that he made q few years
before. Yet, 1T really is not sensible to
give up at 70. There are too many healthy
and bright men and women who reach 50
and 80 years and enjoy every day they live,
for US to feel that 70 is the signal to
give UP.
To have some active interest in life, as
Mr.. Depew so well says, is undoubtedly
essential no matter how old we may be.
Whenever we lose that interest in life we
lose a strong motive for living.

Absorbing she Free Gold of the World.

From the Los Angeles Tribune
In the period embraced between the be-

October, the net importations of gold re-
ceived in this country reached the vast
total of 1927, 00O,0O0. Meanwhile domestic
production has been active, with the re-
suit, as stated by the foreign department
of the National City Bank of New York.
that the total stock Of gold in the United
States has risen from n sl,sS7. 20 e4 on Aug.
this year. The gain derived from the net
imports and domestic production during
the e months is w.thin a fraction OF three
our stock of gold has doubled. During
the war -criod alone it has increased Il

In It's tendency to cause an imitation in
credits, this huge stock of gold offers a
menace to the stability Of prosperity that

A continuance of this condition must In
