ADOPTS WESTERN
MATRIMONIAL CUSTOMS

TOXIC ,By Mail to United Press. -
As Japan proceeds to adopt western
customs, the old usage Of having pa
rents choose husbands or brides for
their offspring IS gradually falling
into dlsuse. In many cases, the young
people prefer TO depend on the die
tates OF their hearts. rather than upon
the brains OF their parents.
The activities OF marriage agencies
are also becoming quite common, as
has been shown by a police investi-
cation made recently in Toxic, when

NATIONAL PARKS IN DANGER

Robert $. Yard, executive secretary of the Ma tona Parks Association. declares that the water power bill. widely approved by the public endangers the national parks ill its present form. He explains that all government-o owned lands and reservations are embraced within its operation and thus it is legally pos Sibe for private interests erect in the parks dams power houses, transmission lines. etc. by obtaining leases from the federal waerpower commission. He mentions particularly certain projects connected with damming of Yellowstone Lake.
 The waterpower commission presumably has authority deny applications for such purposes. But long there is any legal possibility of ssons that would the beauty spots of the nations play grounds and lower their value from the stand point of tine traveller and the naturclover the parks safe. It would be well. therefore, to have the water power act amended by Congress to specifically {" for bid such spoliaton.

 The Chdren'S Bureau of the United States De- partmen of Labor has made of studies of infant morality in six industrial cities It has found that a very high percentage of the deaths directly due to the ignorance of the mothers in regard to the proper feeding of their babies.
 Insufficient family income. bad domestic and mu- nicpa sanitation. and the fact that mothers had to work high summer death rates.
 Although this series of studies was made in indus trial only. it is probably true that the visiting nurse and the educational pamphlet containing simple instructions in child could be of great service in the country districts too The time should when any enlightened community. urban rural. that permitted ''sumncr peak of infant deaths from preventabe would he dSgraced n the eyes of its citizens and those of every other community.

F Win. ters. from whom the property was purchased. The amount of the final payment ran well into the thousaI,is
 Faith in their property and the Tombstone district as able to pro. duce silver as in the past has been voiced by the officials of the Solstica since the time the first purchase was first made
 The property has always been rec ogized as good one among mining circles in this district After having undergone thorough survey and be. ing sampled every ten feet, the en. gineers reported having blocked out ore bodies worth s120000 This ore was estimated 10 average over IS per ton. and recommended as a mining proposition.
 The present plans of the officials of the Solstice are for the installation of fifty-ton mill, hoist, air compres- sor and cynaide tanks. l. is estima;. ed enough ore is in sight to keep a fifty-ton mill running every day for five years. and according to the en. gineers who have inspected the prop erty there is every indication of op. ening up large body during the course of moving the milling ores
 The company is incorporated for s250,000, with stock valued at q a snare. However, not a single share Of Solstice ii open to purchase. So we'll impressed have been the engi- neers called in to examine the proper. ty that the owners will prosecute the necessary development work from their own personal funds.
 Tombstone mining men have ex. pressed the belief that their efforts will be rewarded, while the popula. tion of the city are wishing good luck to the Solstice Mining and Milling company. a corporation composed en. tirely of local men and capital and whose holdings are of such a nature that success seems to be the only pos. sible outcome of the developmet ven. ture now being planned.
