Long SWIM
Mrs. Arthur Hamilton again has failed in
an attempt to swim the English Channel.
She reports having left Cape Gris-Nez, on the
French side of the Channel near Calais and
to have got within three miles of Deal, on
the English side, where she was compelled
to abandon the swim. She says she was in
the water twenty hours.
Mrs Hamilton expressed satisfaction at
having accomplished what she declares is a
worlds record for women swimmers, both
as regards distance covered and time in the
water.

Both Treated Alike.

At the local servants club there
were one or two who were trying to
preach bolshevism and the removal
of class distinction both In society
and on the railway and lots of other
nice things.
But they found a strong opponent
in a chauffeur who drove the local
laundry lady on her Monday round
of visits.

Oldest Living Artist.

Arlington. Mass. claims the Oldest
living artist in New England. She is
Mrs. Mary Delilah Porter, who is now
% years old. While holding a position
high in standing among painters, the
woman, peculiarly. did not take up
painting until she was more than 90
years old.
At that time. happening to be in
Maine on a visit. she became acquaint-
ed with a woman who gave lessons.
She at once took up the art and i'm
mediately made great progress. In
fact in a comparatively short time
she was giving lessons herself. In
her home there are numerous excel
lent pictures, and during the last five
years she has painted five pictures,
considered a good number under the
existing conditions which include
shortage of materials.
Mrs. Porter was born in CORVALLIS
N. S.. coming to Abingdon at the age
of 26 years. she is the mother of SIX
children, and at present lives with hel
son, Lysander, and two grandchildren

Her Spouse, and Why She Was
Not Grieving.

Aunt Lizzie, comfortably fat. a viii

good home. Her white friends thought
she had done unusually well, and were
glad. A few short months after the
wedding ceremony. however. she came
to see family she had had once cook
ed for. and when a young member Of
the group asked about her wealthy
spouse. she said: "Law, chile, done
left that niger. Him and me didn't
get along a-tal" Surprised. the girl
asked: "What on earth was the mat

replied. "Warn't but one thing wrong

RASMUSSEN TO STUDY ESKIMO
Danish Explorers Ambition Is Said to
Be to Make Thorough Study Of
the Northern Race.

The remarkable studies carried out
by the Danish explorer, Knud Rasmus-
sen. among the Greenland Eskimos
are described by W. E. Ekblaw in the
Geographical Review. Rasmussen.
who is part Eskimo himself, was born
and trained in languages and eth
nology at the University. of Copen-
hagen.
1t is his ambition to make thor
ough study Of the whole Eskimo race,
from eastern Greenland to Siberia. and
he has already visited every Eskimo
settlement in Greenland. 1t Is said
that he knows every Greenland Eski-
mo personally. Mr.. Ekblaw believes
It safe to say that no one else has
ever come into such direct contact
with a whole people as he has.
Late in 1919 he returned from
visit to Ammassalik. on the east coast.
He was surprised to find that the east
Greenland Eskimos preserve many OF
the customs of the central Eskimos,
who still inhabit the ancestral home
of the race about Hudson bay. He
found that they are more closely re-
lated to the central Eskimos than are
any of the other tribes Of the entire
Greenland coast. and that only recent
ly have they been affected by contrast
with the Greenland west coast culture.

THE COLORADO'S POWER

Harnessng the torrent of the Colorado river will mark the accomplishment of the greatest en- gineering feat ever undertaken, passing the judg- ment on the account of service that will be ren- dered to the public. William A. Breckenridge senior vice-president of the Southern California Edison company, has just returned from Wash ington, D. C., where he was in conference with officers of the federal power commission and where he filed an application for permission to install plant on the Colorado to develop energy to the extent of ,, 2,500000 horsepower.
 It is proposed to install the plant in units of 00,000 or 200 900 horsepower at time. Event ualy the states of California, Arizona, Utah, Ne vada and New Mexico are to be supplied. That they can be supplied with 500000 horsepower for the present is the contention of engineers, reserving 2,000,000 horsepower for California; s use and for extensions and emergencies, with possibilities of electrifying railways all over the southwest.
 The magnitude of the project can hardly be imagined and it has amazed the engineers who have considered it. But they say it can be done, must be done and the Californians back of the enterprise say it shall be done.
 What would be the king of Babylon with his hanging gardens or the old Pharaohs with their pyramids think of power plant that could light a mighty empire from one central source, turn a million wheels of industry, furnish power to a thousand mines, and do the work of 75,000,000 men?

SOME ACTION NEEDED

The following from the Albuquerque Journal shows what can be done when the people really want to do things for the improvement of their city. Action is needed instead of mere talk They got "action' in the Ohio city and the same action could be secured in Flagstaff with the proper leaders:
 ''The city of Middetown, Ohio, place of 25,- 900 people, recently carried out plan for civic development that deserves thoughtful attention
 "The Middletown people felt they had out grown their development. Money was needed for education work, playgrounds, and other require ments of a progressive community. The cham Der of commerce felt it would take $1,O0O,O0O thoroughly to modenize the place. They ere ated money raising organization after the style of the war drives Many preliminary meetings were held Every detail was carefully looked after. Within thirty days from the time the campaign was launched, they had raised $1,O55,- GOO. from the subscriptions of 5000 contributors
 ''This was an average of $40.00 per capita Any town willing to spend that proportion of money in improving it's facilities of living, is bound to take start and grow.
 "One way in which the Middletown Chamber of Commerce achieved its power, was in its repre- sentative organization.
 "The Middetown Chamber of Commerce in- cludes 25O workmen. 341 women members, and 12O farmers This gives the organization the support of all classes No element is left to stand on the outside and knock. Everybody takes hold to help. This spirit of unity produces universal cooperation. When you get everyone boosting toward certain end, you can push town long way"

PERFORMERS" NEED REFORMING

There is good sound judgment in the warn- ing that is being issued by prominent judges of the federal courts, men who are not subject to the whims of political preference for their high positions, against the multiplicity of laws. They predict that the stringent prohibition laws are apt to cause a revolution; that the added radical so-caled reform" or blue laws are but adding fuel to the fire that is being kindled against what is believed to be the personal freedom of the peo- pie. Take it as you will as to your individual preferences, it is fact that the great masses of the people move slowly and when they event ually come to the conclusion that they for some reason are being unfairly dealt with, there is bound to be revolution of existing conditions. It need not be "bloody revolution" but one on the order of the late election. The people forgot politics and revolted against the administration. They may be driven to do the same thing again. Preach and educate, but skipping on the shackles of laws isn't going to bring about the desired re- suits. The present wave of crime has out-waved anything known in this country before, yet we are supposed to be educated to high moral standard The country is ripe for a revolt against the mutton-headed reformers who see fame and money for themselves by starting something new. A chance given the people to vote on some of these reforms" would enlighten the country at large very much.

WHY NOT MOVE?

One of the best projects and one that can be put into operation with the least effort is that proposed by Mayor Quay some time ago. that the city build dam in Switzer Canyon for an addi- tonal water supply, which will be badly needed by the city within few years. The proposed dam is the cheapest thing one could propose to supply the needed water from the development of good-sized lake that would add to the attractions of the city.
 Nothing further has been done to push this scheme along and get it in shape in order that work may be commenced this spring and con- pleted before fall. According to Mayor Quay there are sufficient water funds lying idle to do most, if not all of the work. Why can't Flag staff come alive and do this thing. It means start on the good work of developing our re- sources. Every one seems to be in favor of it. but there is a need of some action It may be that not enough opposition has been developed to bring out enthusiastic support from boosters. There are always lot of necessary details to ar range-why not get them out of the way now.

Every one agrees that there should be rigid legislative economy, but no one agrees on just what constitutes the aforesaid economy in detail. If the economy curtails expenditures in their inn mediate vicinity, then it is false economy. A true economy would be that of trimming the overhead" to the least common denominator, thus permitting of less big ideas to be exploited. Since the people are willing to get along with their old clothes for the time being, the state might participate in the same method of proceed ure.

Flagstaff is better off than any city of its size in the country Business men do not need to nope and complain, they need only to come alive to the situation and take advantage of it in- stead of letting the situation take advantage of them.

A bill has been introduced in the legislature providing for system of "absent treatment voting. Under the proposed law the voter may mail his vote to his home voting precinct. That may help some, but general clean up and sim pfying of the method of voting when you are at home is what is needed.

 The revised laws, drawn by Capt Waldo Evans. the new governor, and Judge A. M Noble, and submitted to rIe native chiefs. mark an interesting change from the early laws provided for tle S1moaus.
