WORK. ON CANAL
WILL BEGIN SOON
Pending Rivers and Harbors Bill
Removes Restrictions Delay
ing Operations.

1t is hoped that there will be plenty OF
work in IA short time on the Chesapeake
and Delaware canal. Improvement. In
the draft of the Rivers and 1larbors bill
now IN Congress, provision Is made Tor
the repeal of the section which prevents
the beginning of work on which the pres
ent cost would be 40 per cent over the
estimated cost.
With the repeal Of the lnhibitng pro
vision and n fair allotment, work on the
canal could be started at once. The four
highway and one railroad bridge will
necessarily have to be built first before
any excavation work, although it would be
possible TO do excavation work between
the bridges.
Much more money viii be needed before
the completion of the waterway and the
present Congress is expected to make
suitable appropriation for the active
start Of work The Senate committee has
settled on s24, 900, 900 for the entire Rivers
and Harbors bill, while the House has
settled in the vicinity of $4,000, 600
From this il is probable that compro-
mise will be reached at the joint conference
setting the entire figure at $4,000, 900.
With this general appropriation, the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal work
would receive ample funds to go ahead
with plenty Of work

UNITED STATES FARMER
"SITTING PRETTY"

Recent weather conditions having
been very favorable to crops, the fell
lows who spend their time estimat-
ing the yield are saying that the
next twelve months will see an i'm
mense harvest of farm produce. They
also indicate that foodstuffs will be
in world demand quite sufficient to
guarantee good prices. Foreign
markets promise to take partic-
ularly large export of wheat.
In spite of the fact that farm la
Dor is scarce the farmers have man
aged to get in crop almost as large
as that of last year. Barring disas-
tiers, next fall will be golden for
all agricultural communities.
These few words are prompted by
a bulletin just issued by the Wells
Fargo Nevada National bank of San
Francisco. F. c. X.

This is the law of the species. 1t is

Look about at who who are happi-
est. You will not see those who have
been given much from the outside,
but you will see those who are able
10 give much from the iside them
selves. AS a matter of fact that
inner flame of willingness to serve
is a gift-but it is one that can be
increased by cultivation.
Every person born into this world
is started out with some desire to
make others happy. Many lose II
thru sympathizing with themselves
in misfortune, and thru getting the
idea that to be wronged or fooled
or taken advantage of is weakness
One who will give thousands of dol
lars freely in a good cause yet can
not bear to be beat out of nickle
In doing the small things one has
to do to keep from being put upor

DOWACER QUEEN

Charge
CBy Universal Service)

LONDON.-The health of Queen
Alexandra. mother of King George,
continues to give cause for anxiety
to the royal family
The official report that she had
caught chill and that during I'LL
of coughing she broken a small BLOOD
vessel in one of her eyes does not
give an adequate idea of the queen
mothers extremely critical condition.
It was common knowledge that IN
the purlieus of Marlborough house
she was kept alive on diet OF BRAN
dy and milk.
Evidence that at one time her life
was despaired of is found in the TACT,
unpublished in the British press,
that her solicitor was summoned to
Marlborough house for the purpose
of making certain alterations In
Queen Alexandra's will.
The alterations affected the dis
position of the wonderful collection
of gold and silver plate bequeathed
to her by word of mouth by King
Edward on his deathbed. The col
lection is valued at $10,000,000 and
some years ago Alexandra left all OF
it to Prince Olaf, the sixteen-year-
old heir to the throne of Norway, and
her favorite grandson.
The original bequest of so valua-
BILE collection to non-British
prince aroused considerable opposl-
ton in the royal family, and 1t was
modified by Queen Alexandra some
years ago in Difference to the wishes
of King George. The present alter
ations in the royal will do not COM
pletely eliminate Olaf, though they
reduce his share so radically as to
remove any suspicion of favoritism.

ANONYMOUS BOOK ON
COLOR PROBLEM SETS
ALL PARIS GUESSING
(By Universal Service)


PARIS-All Paris is guessing as to
the identity of the American whose
novel, based on the color problem,
is running in one of the large French
magazines and causing no end OF
comment in literary circles.
Brilliant authors like Paul Reboux
and Victor Marguerite, not to men
ton publicists and philosophers like
Jean Finot and Maurice de Waleffe,
have taken the question UP, but the
story Of the "Black Cinderella run
ming in the Grande Revue is the
most remarkable contribution so far.
1t is not only the story OF con-
flict Of race, but of man and woman,
and even in the French translation
its vigor of style is amazing.
The editor maintains the greatest
secrecy as to the author of the book,
which has not been and is not to be,
it is claimed, published in America.

ART COLLECTIONS

Treasures of Russia
Safeguarded by Trot-

(By Universal Service)

(By Universal Service)
PARIS. - Thanks to Madame
Trotzky, wife of the famous Russian
commissary of the people, the Won
derful art collections of Russia have
remained absolutely untouched dur
ing the struggles and sufferings Of
the soviet regime.
Ivan Morosoff, one of the most ia
nous art collectors in Europe, whose
collection of French modernists is
one of the most remarkable in the
world, states that mot a single can
vas or statue has been harmed in
any museum in Russia by the parti-
sans of the soviets. The. Ermitage
collection of Petrograd was moved
to Moscow when the fall of Petro-
grad seemed probable. just as the
Louvre collections were transported
to the south of France when Paris
was in danger.

making boots out of Rembrandts, for
instance, and all other tales OF the
same kind, are pure fantasies. |

"My collections of modern French
art has been natiOnalized by the So
Wet government, made into a public
museum. Not a canvas has been mu-
tilated or destroyed. l was appoint
ed sub-director of the museum, and
my duties consisted in compiling a
comprehensive catalog of the 43O
Russian paintings and the 23O
French pictures. The director of
the museum is a sculptor, Boris
Ternovetz, pupil of the famous
French sculptor, Bourdelle.
An art comittee, headed by Nine.
Trotzky, takes the census of works
of art in Russia and If anyone fears
that popular uprisings or other dis
turbances might imperil certain
works of art, he notifies Nine. Trotz-
ky, who, with her committee, invari-
ably proceed to have them safe
guarded. Frequently they are
brought to Moscow and exhibited
publicly. Priceless art treasures
have in this way been shown to the
people.
"The soviet governments artistic
and intellectual policy is remarkable
and is due not only to private initia-
tive but to the vision of Lounatch-
arsky, minister of public instruction,
as we'll as to Nine. Trotszky."

Sellers and Leslie
Bag g Relay Victory
BY Fine Sprintine Q

Largely because of the feetness Of
Sid Leslie and Jack Sellers, the 18th
Regiment won the one-mile relay race
Of the Military Athletic League held
last night in the armory Of the coast
defense command in Brooklyn. The
team representing the 14th Infantry
was second, with the 23d Infantry third.
The time for the mile was minutes
33 AS seconds, 3 AS seconds slower
than the record made by the 18th team
in 1919.
The race, which was the first Of Its
kind this season, was q mere work out
for the 'hoodoo" quartet, if the first
leg is to be disreg Windmulle n
started for the 18th, and he was
unable to hold the pace of 0. F. Ander-
son, of the 23d, and when Leslie got
away on the second leg Hedburg, of the
23d, had a lead of twenty-five yard s
Sid tore around the floor at a terrific
rate, and not only caught Hedburg : ut
turned the baton over to Hauser, his
teammate, with a hveyard advantage.
Hauser uncorked a nice sprint and
finished his bit with twenty-yard lead
over Hosmer, of the 14th. Then came
Sellers, the anchor man for the 18th
who was opposed by Homer Baker, of
the 14th, on the last leg.
Sellers was in rare form. but de-
spite this fact, Baker, the slender be.
spectacled war horse of the track
actually cut down Jacks lead by five
yards. The 18th Regiment star was
not in danger, however. as his ad.
vantage at the start of the last lap
was far too great to be overcome
Baker finished about twenty yards be-
hind Sellers, with Nelson, Of the 23d
in third place.
Max Bohland won the two-mile handi-
cap, closed to the 18th Regiment. The
two mile champion negotiated the dis
tance in 1850 AS, and finished about
twenty-five yards ahead of Harry
Rosen. Casper Scheffer was third
