WOULD ABOLISH WATCH
Harvard Graduate Advocates Foot ball Be Run By Plays Instead of By a TimepicCc.

Boston. Feb. 1S.-To run football by plays instead of by the watch will be argued again before the football rules committee at it's annual meet ing in New York early next month. H. R. Coffin, a graduate of Harvard university and gridiron enthusiast. who presented the plan last year. will advance it again, with data gained from last seasons collegiate games. In announcing his argu- ments today he said K. w. r. Brown. former strategist for crimson elevens under Head Coach F. D. Haughton, believed the plan would benefit the game,
 II is Coffin's contention that the use of timing regulate periods of play makes it possible for a team that gains the initial advantage to stall thereafter. He points out that in thirty-nino games between Yale and Harvard all but one. the con- test of 1916, that was incorrectly timed. have been won by the team that scored first. Sailing would be reduced 50 per cent by substitution of plays instead of timing to regulate periods. he said.

 OF SALES LIST
 FOR 12TH DIST.
Averages More Thrift Securi- ties Per Capita Than
 States in the West.

For the. eleven months of 1920 led the list of sales in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District of thrift stamps, savings stamps and other savings securities, according to in formation just received by Gov. Thomas Riggs from San Francisco headquarters of the Government Savings Organiza tion for the Twelfth District. Alaska's purchases per capita amountd to $2.02.
 Last Monday, the birthday of Ben jamin Franklin marked the begin hing nationally of Thrift Week, which is being sponsored by the Young Mems Christian Association and supported by the Savings Divi- sion of the Treasury Department.
 The Governments particular in tcrest in this week lies in the fact that it's sales of savings securities, such as 25 cent thrift stamps. $1 and $5 saving stamps, and $25, $1OO and $1,000 treasury savings certifi- c;tes are determined by the thrift ness of the American people. The Government is still in need of money and the sales of these securities form an important part of its postwar financing.
 All of these savings securities of the Government will be on sale throughout 1921 at post offices and nearly all banks in, the country The s1 treasury savings stamp and the S25 treasury savings certificate, the latter bearing 4 per cent interest compounded quarterly, are new is sues which are expected to take their place with the older securities in public favor.

UNDERGROUND WATERS MAY BRING NEW LIFE
 TO THE GHOST CITIES

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 20.-- Underground waters, brought to the surface for irrigation purposes, soon may restore life to the ghost cities of Nevada, which have been practi- cally deserted since their gold has been taken from them. Already Government engineers are surveying Iand expected to become. part of a big irrigation project on tn Amar- lgosa desert. not far from Bullfrog, Beatty. Rhyolite and Gold Center, all one time famed mining camps.
 Because these towns were not far from Death Valley, the land sur rounding them was thought to bs desert soil worthless for agriculture and fit only for cactus and horned 'oads. In the gold days, "desert rats" carried water for miles olI the backs of their burros to supply their claims. Now it develops that these hardy men were treading only few fee, above a steady flow of water.
 VT. U. D INilpdli d0olSluhl ouP7 --'-isor of Government Surveys for Utah and Nevada, reports that two 5ufvey crews have started work on two townships along the California Nevada line with orders to survey 10000 acres Underground waters have been discovered on the Amara- gosa desert and it is proposed to develop them.
 Big crops will grow in the sub tropical Nevada climate if the water can be brought to the soil. engineers have reported, Later the land may be opened for entry, according to present plans.
 The Amaragosa deaert is not the )nly portion of Southern Nevada that may bloom The big Smoky Valley, north of Tonopah, may in the near future bring to the big silver camp, a new population of farmers. The presence of underground water in this valley has been demonstrated, and it is only question of short time when it will be developed, ac- cording to Mr. Fitzpatrick. The sur vey will go forward in Southern Nevada all winter.
