his little daughter, Mary, age six, was
playing on the floor. firing of play,
she crawled to her fathers knee and
asked him:

reference. replied, Il suppose
The child studied for minute, and

Does he burn them all up? Some
little boys told me he did"
Again the father replied that he
supposed he did.
Again the child, not satisfied, asked
the father where they went after he
burned them all up.
The father, irritated, replied that
he supposed they all went to ashes.
The child studied for few min

have an awful job carrying out ashes.

THIS GIRL RESENTS HERO STUFF

she could hardly restrain herself.
When she saw him walk across a sec
tion of the floor just vanished, which
her mother had warned her not to
step upon, she slipped from her hiding
place, got her fathers big weapon and
went into the dining room and holding
the pistol in both hands, ordered the
robber TO hold up his hands, which he
promptly did. After compelling him
to replace the plunder, she ordered
him into a closet, but instead he
slipped through the kitchen door and
fled, with Rose in hot pursuit, clad
only in her nightie. But the burglar
man could run faster and got away.
The family returned a few minutes
later TO find Rose in the yard still
holding the gun and regretting her
failure to capture the man.

Plan Greatest
Dam in World

1t Is c0ntended that among the re-
suits of the project would be:
Absolute flood control.
Provision for irrigation of 2,25O, 1000
acres, of which 100000 acres would
be above the canyons.
Three hundred miles of the river
made navigable.
The area which could be served
with power includes Arizona, Nevada
and Utah, more than one-half Of Colo
rado and New Mexico, one-fifth of
Idaho and Wyoming and three-quar-
ters of California, with possibly large
arens in northern Mexico.
Power would be used for the electri-
fication Of steam railroads, as well as
for commercial, agricultural, mining
and municipal uses, thus saving 10000
barrels Of fuel oil year.

Project to Harness the Colorado

Than Panama Canal.
COST WOULD Be s8OO,OOO,OOO
Propose Developing Hydro-Electric
Power on Huge Scale for Distribu-
tion Over Wide Area Of
the Southwest.

Los Angeles, Cal.-The worlds
greatest electrical project" is the way
some engineers describe the Southern
California Edison cOmpany's plan for
impounding the waters of the Colo
tric power on a huge scale for distri-
button over a wide area of the South
west.
Edwin O. Edgerton, special counsel
for the corporation, formerly president
Of the California state railroad COM
mission, states the project ultimately
would involve 0O,OOO,0OO, or twice as
much as was spent on the Panama
canal.
4,350.oo0 Horsepower.
Generation Of a peak load of 1885,
600 horsepower and an annual average
load of 100000 horsepower from four
development projects along the river
will be possible by flow controlled
by 5OO-foot dam at the head of Glen
canyon. Arizona.
There the main dam would create
lake almost 200 miles long, extending
up the nearly level basin of the Colo
rado to the mouth of the Fremont
river. From this point, the river de-
scends $500 feet in 400 miles,
At Glen canyon dam, according to
plans, uniform flow of $4,000 second
feet would pass through turbines and
thence through power canal for so
miles. to the mouth of the Little Colo
RADIO. This would give net head Of
800 feet and would generate 1,24O,OO0
horsepower.
From the Little Colorado to Kanab
creek, n net head of 700 feet could be
secured in S5 miles. which would gen.
crate 100000 horsepower
Additional Power Secured.
In the 145 miles between Kanab
creek and the Arizona boundary line,
at Diamond, net Lead of 800 feet
could be secured by two high dams.
The river would deliver to switch
boards about 100000 additional
horsepower, according to Southern
California Edison engineers.
The fourth development would cover
the 120-mile stretch between the Ari-
zona boundary and the Cotton
wood valley. This would afford a 500
foot head and deliver 100000 horse
power.

will be fully five years before the en-
tire find is disclosed-consist of an
apartment house containing about
1000 rooms, together with domestic
implements.
Strangely enough. there is no trace
of the people-and the scientists say
there must have been fully 10000 of
them-in the way of burial ground or
skeletons. It is conjectured that the
inhabitants left the valley in leisurely
fashion, as there are no evidences Of
flight, when at the very zenith of their
development. This exodus Is estimat-
ed to have taken place fully 1000
years ago, and, so far as the investiga-
tors have been able to learn, the peo-
pie stepped ouE Of history when the
janitor turned the key in the gigan-
tic apartment house they vocated.
As Big as Two City Squares.
The shifting of sands which hid the
structure for centuries gave scientists
their first clue to the existence of
hitherto unknown race. Excavations
disclosed building equaling in extent
about two ordinary city squares and
so well constructed as to defy the raw
ages of time. Its curved front swings
in an arc of 700 feet, and the 50000-
900 pieces of stone which form its
walls bear every evidence Of having
been quarried and carefully cut. All
that is known now is that the com
munity consisted of approximately
10000 persons and that they cultivated
some 5000 acres of land
Construction of the Best.
The walls of the building are re-en-
forced by heavy timbers just as steel
rods are used today for that purpose
in concrete construction. Excavation
in the inner court revealed an amaz-
ing labyrinth of kivas, cists, shafts
and variously walled spaces.

Watch Maine Apple Exhibit

department today said that he and
were making arrangement for the
Maine exhibit at the New England
Fruit Show to be held on Nov. As in
elusive at Concord, y. III. Said the
major:
I'VE simply propose to take up
there the finest display of Maine
apples that has ever gone out of the
State and undoubtedly as fine as any
made anywhere. Maine this year has
the apples, while the rest of New
England has 4 short crop and in
ferior quality as a rule. 1t will be
remembered that at the recent East
ern STATES Exposition at Springfield,
Mass, the Maine apple exhibit topped
them all. AS a matter of fact one
other New England state borrowed
enough Maine apples to make a
showing. and another state actually
purchased Maine apples for the same
purpose-doing this only because
their own apple crops were not of the
kind that is usually exhibited.
1--WE are expecting to also have an
exhibit Of Maine bees and honey.
Maine has their goods in the kind and
quality that YOU like to. see on ex-
hibition and Maine people will be as
proud of this exhibit as they will of
the apple display IF you can't go
yourself to the show, watch the re-
ports from there and see if Maine
doesn't make an impression, Just as
she did with her exhibits at Spring

Shipping Board
Official on Need of
Nat. Merchant Marine

New York, Oct. o.-Jntil America
as a. whole awakens to the fact that
national economic stability is de-
pendent upon the establishment OF
a national merchant marine, there
can never be an American merchant
marine, Chairman Albert D. Lasker
of the Shipping Board declared to-
day in an address before the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs of the
World.
Reviewing the work of the present
Board during its existence of 1C
weeks, he asked the patience and
indulgence of the country declaring
that if these We're not given
Americas economic life on the
seas. for the next generation, is dark
indeed"
Until the farmer in Kansas, the
industrial worker in Indiana, the
miner in Arizona realize,3 said Mr..
Lasker, that the regularity and
volume of their daily wage is, in q
measure, as dependent on the estab-
lishment of an American merchant
marine as is the continuity of en-
ployment and the wage of the dock
worker in Baltimore or San Francis
co, there can be no assured hope that
the flag of the United States will be
maintained as it should be on the
seven seas. Sound economies accept
as fundamental that national pros
perity is based on continuity Of en-
rloyment at wages consonant with
American standards of living.
When surpluses accumulate.
prices are demoralizcd and employ
ment ends until the excess has been
consumed.
"Generally speaking, the last ten
per cent of production makes the
market and it is this last ten per
cent that we must insure disposal of
to customers in foreign lands. Ex-
cept with a merchant marine under
our own control there can be no as
surance of these essential mark cts -
