The Salt continued to re- cede all day.

 All danger of the river breaking into the Salt River canal at Joint Head had passed. The Water Users reported that the joint head dam appeared un- damaged.
 Many ranchers in the Acre City district fled from their homes Thurs day night. Between Sixteenth and Twentieth streets, near the river, a homesteader named Anderson and his son, Lawrence, were seen yesterday morning attempting to make shore from their home, which had been en- tirely surrounded by water. Later Thank sgiving night a light was seer at the house, and it is believed that both of them passed the flood without serious loss of property.

Wyndham Standing is the most elu-
sive person we know, excepting, Of
course, Houdini Whenever you know
where he is and go there he isn't; and
when you call him on the telephone at
the studio the girl always says, eyes,
indeed, Mr.. Wyndham is right here
now" and then in q moment she says,
.'It's funny but l cans find him. If
you'll leave your number I'll have him
call you"
After we had attempted to interview
him at least six times, only to find
that he was "on location" or con g
vacation" or something else, we began
to wonder if there really was any
Wyndham Standing at all, and then we
saw him play the blind soldier with
Elsie Ferguson in eyes of the Soul"
and we determined TO be very firm with
him and really secure an interview.
Now, when we do make up our mind
thing is as good as done, so we called
up the Paramount and learned that Mr..
Standing was playing with Norma Tai
madge over in the East Forty eighth
Street Studio. We called Vanderbilt
43Ss, and the girl said "Oh yes, Mr..
Standing is right here now" and then
after a short wait, ooh, we can't find
him. viii you leave your number and
have him call you?'
So we left our number. But did he
call us? He did not. Our pride sus-
tanned US until o'clock and then we
called again and said: page Mr.. Stand
ing and tell him to present himself at
cur apartment for tea at o'clock"
And then, perhaps because he is an
Englishman and used to command
nights, he came.
Mr. Standing is much handsomer off
than he is on He has blue eyes and
wonderful white teeth and he laughs
all the time and wears nice English
clothes. We had Just time to grasp
these details as he drank cup of tea
and dashed away He had to so shop

would come in the next day before
they went to Florida and would be
able to stay long enough to be inter
viewed.
So We put of all other importunate

going to Europe to attend the peace
conference and we may never see him
again. We must stay at home So
we STAYED at home alone. Mr.. Stand
ing did not come.
But the following day we received
note written en- route to the Pennsyl-
vania Station saying: Busy up to the
last moment. VIII telephone you
