MAKE PUBLIC LOVE NOTES FROM

BY GERALD p. OVERTON

| true that is. A hunger for what will
satisfy, but what "a variety of tastes
in people! And because you and |
| hunger for the same thing is the reason
for our longing to be together as much
as possible.
"My love is deep, calm, quiet today.
I am in the mood to listen to music.
Yesterday 1 was talking to Mr..
Burns. Couldn't It pass and not listen,
as he was ready for conversation. He
was saying some one next to Hopkins

queer people Told Mrs. Hopkins they
lived in different world than some
people. Mrs. Burns is too ignorant to
understand that, of course, and N.Y.
wish you heard what disrespectful
language Mrs. B. used But L let her
rave. 1 hate to talk to Mrs. b. and
never do if 1 can avoid it. But at
times l must be polite even if it is
to listen to her ignorance.
Longs for Love Nest
"And, Honey Mine, isn't it true
that 1 live in different world. To-
day / am not wide awake. l am not
sad, but quiet. Yesterday l was roll

Nature and God created it; it is what

it calls me just as i yearn for the

hcart-that is why long for our love
to be the truest, ideal--as pure as we

HARDING IS
N0TH|T BY
LEGION ACT
Majority Legion Men Not
Bitter with Officials
As Was Reported
DEMAND BIG NAVY
Universal Service Law To
Draft Money and Men
Is Proposed
Cnited Press Leased Wire

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1S.-The
American Legion convention today
instructed its national Officers to
continue the fight for the adiusted
compensation bill until it is enact ed
into law. The convcntioned adopted
unanimously and without debate a
joint report of its resolutions and
legislative committees, recommending
this policy.
No criticism of President Harding
or the administration for killing the
Ivevious bonus bill was made.
The New York delegation seconded
the resolution.
. Committees arc prepared to offer
resolutions to the AmericaU Legion
convention here today which will:
Instruct national officers to carry
forward the fight for the passage of
soldier bonus bill with all their ia
cilities.
Demand immediate increase in the
personnel of the navy and adequate
provision for its maintenance.
Advocate universal service law
enabling the president to draft all the
nations resources without further
legislation in event Of emergency.
Some Of the resolutions will be offer
ed today, others later.
Passage of all the resolutions is cx
pected.
The resolution dealing with the
bonus does not condemn the president
and the administration for the defeat
of the bonus bill at the last session
of congress. A minority contended
for u denunciation of Harding ana n:s
advisors but was blocked by friends of
the administration.
The fight may be carried to the
floor but the Legislative committee,
which drew the resolution, is said to
have won over the national officers.
The resolution committee approved
the legislative committee s work. So
the threatened break with the admin
istration on the eve of the election
seems to have passed.
The influence of the conservative
group, it was believed, may likewise
succeed in modifying the proposed con
demnation of Brigadier General Saw
yer and criticism of the veterans bu
rcau.

YUMA PEOPLE in
EFFORTS TO GET
RIVER STRAIGHT
Dredge Will Be Loaned To
Aid in Work If Plans
Are Carried Out

Directors of the Imperial Irrigation
District have directed their chief engi-
neer, Ray S. Carberry, to cooperate
with the people of the Yuma County
Water Users Association in their eff
forts to protect their lands from posi-
BILE floods from the Colorado River.
The action at the directors meeting
hate yesterday followed receipt of a
letter from George Fishbaugh, vice
president of the association, asking the
district to lend dredges in efforts to
straighten out the Colorado river.
Writes Mr.. Fishbaugh:
"Wc of the Yuma project of the L.
S. reclamation service, being confront
ed with the very heavy expense of
keeping up the levee along the Color
ado river to protect our valley from
the high water of the river, in flood
times, are anxious to do something
other than put rock upon the levee for
the protection OF our lands. The rock
ing is ineffective and is exceedingly
costly. We would like, for example, to
straighten the river, whereby the flood
dated without backing the water over
the levee, or without its course being
directed against the banks.
Mr.. Fishbaugh goes on to say that
the members of the association are
getting up petition to Secretary Fall
asking money from the government to
straighten out the river.
While the local directors realize the
great task of Strengthening out the
river, it was indicated that assistance
would be given the Yuma people in
their efforts to protect their valley.
To Cost Fifty Thousand
The Yuma man estimates that $4,000
would be the total cost of doing the
work he outlines. The work proposed
by him is below the weir dam where
Imperial Valley gets ITS water.
He explains the proposition in let
ter to Secretary Fall recently, in part,
as follows:
"We believe that. the Colorado
river should be Strengthened from
the weir dam to the international
border. This would prevent the river
from cutting out levees and would
shorten the river about five miles
This would cause the river to run more
swiftly and would scour out the bottom
much deeper and would lower the
ground water in the valley.
"It is impossible to rock out levees
sufficiently to turn the current of the
river as the river will scout out the
bottom so the water is from 60 to so
feet deep. Our levees being 10 feet
high and protected with rock six feet
thick, when the river cuts in under the
rock, being of very poor quality, half
of it being sand and gravel, this will
flow probably half mile, and the
balance of the rock will fall down Il
distance from 60 to so feet.
"Thc river is straight for a distance
of six miles from the weir dam to a
point where it turns southeast. From
that point we wish to make q cut right
directly to a point where the Imperial
Irrigation District had made cut last
June of four miles and shorten the
river about Is miles.

PROSPERITY ERA
