NEVER LET GO OF SUITCASE
Former Congressman, on Visit to
France, Proved Himself Superior
to Adverse Circumstances.

Dudley Doolittle, who used to be in
congress from Kansas, recently re-
turned from Europe, where he went on
secret mission for the United States
government
While in France, Mr.. Doolittle had
the unusual experience of roaming
around several hundreds of battlefields
with seventy-six-pound suitcase
clasped firmly in his arms Shortly
after Doolittle landed in Paris, and
just before he started for the battle
fields, the handle broke off his suit
case, which contained a number Of
valuable documents and papers which
were almost as heavy as hardware
samples. There was no porter around
to help Doolittle into his automobile,
nor was there any around during the
ensuing ten days of his trip. There
fore, there was nothing for him to do
but to clasp the suitcase firmly to his
chest and get the best view of the bat
tlefields that he could from behind the
obstruction.
Doolittle says that he got so used to
viewing war scenes from behind the
suitcase that in order to enjoy movies
of the war now he has to take a min
iature doghOuse to the motion picture
theaters with him and hold it on his
lap throughout the performance.

spend the fifth accompanied by their
instructors on an excursion to some
point of interest made famous in fairy
tales.
The Mouse Tower on the Rhine"
familiar to every youngster since his
cradle days, has now become reality
to the so or more little ''shavers

fried in school and Immediately set
out to visit the spot the composer
made famous. In a like manner they
have lived over again the tales in
Hans Anderson's story books.
Children from 5 to 16 years of age
attend the school, all subjects being
taught from the primary grades to the
college preparatory course. In addi-
ton the American boys and girls now
in Coblenz are receiving the benefit
OF special courses in German and
French taught by native teachers.
The pupils not only are acquiring
q full knowledge of folk lore along
with the customary school course, but
they are receiving instruction along
commercial lines that will be benefic-
ial in later years, it is claimed. They
were taken to the vineyards during
grape picking time and watched the
entire process of wine making from
the time the grapes left the vine unit
they went into bottles.
The school was started by the Y. M

of the presence of many American
children in Coblenz, and the fact tina
there was no suitable school for then
to attend. Army cooperation in tn,

LL-AMERICAN CANALPR0JECT
 BEING FORMED

: WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (by Asso- ciated Press).-Construction of an all. American canal along the California border to remove from Mexican con trol the system of the Imperial valleys, the largest irrigation project in the United States, is contemplated in a: bill Representative Kettner of Cali fornia plans to introduce in the house. It will make provision for opening to purchase or settlement by holorably discharged soldiers, sailors and ma: rines with war service of 200, ,O00 acres the valley, which will be irrigable from the proposed canal # during the holiday recess by a sub- committee of the house committee on irrigation of arid lands, which has had: several measures designed to relieve the situation existing in Imperial val
 
 fore the committee brought out that the crops of the Imperial valley, which residents said reached a value of s60,- 000,000 annually, are dependent upon the uninterrupted flow of the main ca Anal of the irrigation system which, from the diversion point on the Colo rado river, swings through Mexican territory for forty miles before dis tribution is made to the American ranchers The water users on the Mexican side, where over 100000 acres are being irrigated, do not wish to. join in the maintenance of the main canal and the protective works in Mexico, according to testimony pre- sented to the congressional com mittee.
 Relief is sought through the building of a high line canal entirely on Ameri-, can soil, making necessary a cut. through a low range of sand hills. which the present main canal avoids by the detour into Mexico. Approxi- mate1y 100000 acres of withdrawn public lands, similar in quality to that of the Imperial valley, but lying above the present Imperial canal system, will come under the proposed all- American canal, according to recla7 nation service estimates. Under the .Kettner bill 100000 acres would be Fopened to purchase by war veterans at s1.25 an acre, or, at the discretion Of the secretary of the interior, be reserved for opening under such sol dfer settlement legislation as the con gross may enact.
