APARTMENT Tenants
Spin Yarns About
Gigantic Reptile

Residents of the washington
apartments have received a num-
her of thrills during the past week
by the appearance of large
snake in the court The snake
varies in size according to reports.
As snakes of such proportions are
rarely seen during dry spells as
prolonged as the present one it is
thought that the reptile must have
escaped from the circus menagerie
which was tented just back of the
apartments last week.

DRAINAGE IS
Bic PROBLEM
Continued from page one)

Eden, which the Bible tells us was
watered by four streams. There are
but two now the Tigris and Euphrates.
Mr.. Narboes theory and he is backed
by Sir William Wilcox, noted English
engineer is that the other two
streams were irrigation bitches that
the flight from the Garden of Eden
was due to the over application Of
water, or in today's language, seep.
The comparison between the garden
spot of the earth as the Bible relates
the Garden of Eden was and the In
perial Valley of today was then aptly
made. He urged and urged again
immediate action of the drainage
problem.
Previous to this reports from all
farm center districts relative to the
proposed bond issues were received
and sentiment, as interpreted by the
farm bureau directors, strongly favors
the submission Of the $30,000,000
bond issue. No action was taken by
the committee.
The meeting was continued this af-
ternoon and the water question was
again before the body.

SOCIETY WILL PROMOTE
REAL AMERICAN OPERA

Early in the New Year the Ameri-
can Grand Opera Association, most
OF whose members are nationally
known patrons OF music. will launch
a new movement in aiding American
operatic talents. The efforts OF the
association will be directed toward
the encouragement OF all-American
composers. artists and allied workers
in the field OF music. and it's plans
are being furthered by sympathetic.
public-spirited local groups.
The organization is planning to
give two short American grand operas.
..The Legend" and "Shanewis." in one
performance on their prospective tour
throughout the United States They
have already succeeded within the
past two months in arousing the
active cooperation of about forty
cities. through municipal authorities,
chambers OF commerce. rotary clubs,
local chapters of the American Le-
gion, various musical associations
and leading newspapers.
The new venture will be conducted
by an experienced staff OF workers.
Charles Wakefield Cadman and
Joseph Breii, composers of the operas
will conduct the symphony orches-
ira
"The Legend" and "Shanewis" are
not very familiar to people outside
of New York. for these operas were
produced only at the Metropolitan
Opera House last season, though very
successfully.
An interesting feature Of "Shane-
wis Is the appearance of Tsiania, an
American Indian around whose life
and personality the opera was writ
ten. "The Legend" was composed
for another American songstress.
