THIRD IF ACRE FOOT
 WATER TO BE FREE

A present of s60,0O0 was made to the landowners in the Salt River Valley Water Users association yes terday by the board of governors of that association when it adopted a resolution authorizing the manage ment to run a third of an acre foot of water free of charge to all land owners provided the same is utilized before February 15, 1922.
 This resolution was adopted, it was stated last night by c. c. Cragin, superintendent, because of the gen. eral condition in the valley and fur ther because of the good financial condition of the Water Users asso- citation. Landowners thus will be enabled to effect lowering in their assessment. while those who have given a credit of a third of an acre foot on anything they use up to Feb ruary IS, 1922.
 welt district, headed by President called upon the board of governors at their meeting yesterday and urged that the power earnings be distri- buted among shareholders on the basis of acre feet of water used, rather than on the basis of acreage.
 The board, after a discussion of the matter. decided that as the in- vestment which made the power pos sible was on a acreage basis and not on an acre foot basis, therefore the returns from the power should like | wise be on an acreage basis.

 He thought that he had found the shores of Asia. He was mistaken, but he had builded better than he knew. The effects of his discovery were to last until the end of time. He had opened to civilization a new continent, destined to be the site of the greatest nation in the world, and to play in the affairs of the world a commanding and important part.
 Tt is for us, then, to follow in his footsteps, to carry out his ideals and to emulate his virtues
 The meeting was brought to a close with the singing by the audience of ''The Star Spangled Banner"

CRISIS IN IRISH QUESTION
Dali Eireann Rejects British Offers;

London.--Premier Lloyd George has
received the report of the representa-
tives OF the Dali Eireann ON the gov.

Irish settlement. In conference be-
tween the British ministers and the
Sim Fem delegates. the premier and
his colleagues we're informed that the
proposals were not acceptable. They
had been given full consideration by
the Dali Eireann at Dublin. but no
way had been found TO reconcile diff
ferences which had arisen.

The crisis was forced by Sim Feln

were unwilling to accept any sort OF
allegiance to the king, on which the
British government insisted.

Why Glow.Worms Glow.

When Mrs. Glow-worm, who Is real
ly beetle and not IA worm, shines
brightly In the grass during the warm
summer nights, she is not burning for
our benefit. She is waiting patiently
until Mr.. Glow-worm comes flying that
way. Her lamp Is the only means she
has of telling him that she is there.
Unlike her husband. she has no wings.
and only six very weak legs. She
cannot, therefore, go TO look for him.
and nature has denied her voice
with which to produce the sounds of
which other beetles are capable. She
has to rely entirely ON her lamp and
TO keep II bright, too. because Mr..
Glow-worm is not keen-sighted, and
might easily blunder past In the dark.
Also she may readily miss him, for he
gives out only faint glow that flick
ers near his tail.

ANGL0-JAPANESE
ALLIANCE MAY END
United States, Great Britain,
Japan and France Included
in Substitute Program.

Washington. d. C.-The draft OF a
puadruple entente which would serve
as a substitute for the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, IL was learned from authori-
tative sources, is now under consider
alton by the governments OF the Uni
ted States. Great Britain. Japan and
France.
Thts Is said to explain the delay Of
the Japanese government in announc-
ing its decision concerning the ques-
tion of the ratio of naval tonnage. be-
cause II appears that as the problem
Of warship tonnage is connected with
national policy. the two matters are
being discussed together.
There was growing impression
that il the entente can be worked cut
satisfactorily, Japan would not insist
upon her request for 70 per cent
ratio OF capital ships as against the
present 60 per cent suggested in the
American proposals.
II is understood that the draft OF
the entente has been prepared with
special reference to the United States
constitutional system under which the
senate has the treaty-making power.

How Invention of San Francisco Man
Can Be Utilized for the Ben
eft Of All.

Through the invention of Samuel o.
Hoffman, San Francisco inventor, a
sixth sense" seems TO have been ere.
ated. AT distance of 600 feet, In to-
tai darkness. Hoffman asserts thai
with the aid OF a delicate instrument
for the detection OF heat waves he can
tell whether one, two or several per-
sons are present His invention.
which was started during the war for
detecting enemy forces in front OF the
American trenches, is combination
Of thermopiles, a reflector and a gal
vanometer. The instrument, which
acts much as q sound detector, is SEN
sitive to heat waves and can be de-
veloped to the point where complete
silhouette OF an object can be given,
showing the outlines from which heat
waves emanate. II can also be used
for the detection of airplanes thou
sands Of feet In the air.
Government officials are said to be
considering use of the instrument for
guarding valuable goods. such as large
coal piles, warehouses and motor car
fleets not In use. Instead OF a large
number of guards, who can be avoided.
IL Is expected to set up one or two OF
Hoffman's instruments, which will i'm
mediately show the presence OF people
In the vicinity.
