The Smith McNary bin is known as
the "co-operatve reclamation act" nd
provides for the establishment Of
S250000,000 revolving fund Tor the
construction Of new irrigation projects
and the completion of those already
under way. One of its provisions re-
quires the employment of former serv-
ice men on reclamation projects

preference to service men on any
lands made available.
In addition the governors ask the
early passage of a bill authorizing
the appointment of federal "am-
bassador" to participate in the COM
pact proposed between the Colorado
river basin states. This movement
has the backing of the League of the

CALLING CARDS

Nothing ia 80 difficult but that It may
be found out by seeking Terrence.
a WRITER on social usage has
n called attention to the fact that
M the countries Of Europe the eti-
quette of the calling card is clearly
laid down by social law In this coun-
try II is left in the mir.
If there were but congress Of GUS

troduce law setting forth the occn-
slons on which the calling card can
with propriety be used and the occa-
sions on which It cannot be used how
/ much confusion could be avoided AS
I this cannot be done, we can only do
our best with our calling cards, and
trust to luck and instructive good taste
that we viii not break such laws as
there are.
In some sections Of the country 1t
is customary for newcomers to make
the first call, and as cards are the em-
blems Of calls the rules regulating
them can be grouped with those regu-
lating card usage. In most sections
1t is customary for the old resident to
make the first call. In still other
places 1t is usual for newcomer TO
send out at-home cards to such per-
sons as she chances to meet and de-
slres 10 become acquainted with.
1t Is usual, however, In most places,
for the old resident to make the first
call. It is essential for the person
called on to return this first call or
else run the risk of being called rude.
/ The newcomer who waits for others
to call on her, no matter where she is,
will do better than the newcomer who
makes first calls where this is not Gus
tomary.
Here are few hints which should
be observed In the etiquette of card
usage:
