clyde seib. vino worked in three IN
nings against the Giants Wednesday,
had everything IN working order except
his fast fall. and the Giants made al
their advances against Seib when he
threw his speeder, which lacked control.
The home run clout which Frank
Snyder pushed out Of the lot, really was
intended for a waste ball and Seib threw
away from the plate and there is no
denying that he met it squarely.
Again in the sixth the run-making
on Seib Wednesday was caused when he
lost temporary control and with an in
tended waste ball to be delivered II sailed
Iazily over the plate and the damage
was done However, there is every
reason to give the youngster some credit
for having something more than a glove.
It remained for Pug Cavet to set the
Giants down. The veteran hook-arm
hurler had his "dipsy delivery" working
with the usual results Thursday and
there was very little consolation for the
Giants sluggers during the period in
which Cavet was the master of
ceremonies. Cavet was the Indians best
bet last year and from all indications
the Tribe will salt away quite a few
games this year with the lengthy Texan

must cover all the bod, in conformity
with the prescriptions of religion and
decency.
The Mussulman women may at home
wear any costume they please. But as
regards their toilet outdoors, on their
promenades in town, the prescriptions
cf the Cheri' must be observed,
especially in the capital, which is the
seat of the caliphate. The government
taking this necessity into account, has
decided to establish special commits
sion to prepare a model Of feminine
costume compatible with the require
ments of the .Cheri., This commits
sion also will determine the costume
to be worn by the female students. To
this effect the Minister OF Public In
struction will be represented in the
commission by a woman delegate
We can wildly imagine what Amer
lean women would say to having their
fashions thus officially prescribed,
though we would mercifully draw a
veil over the fate Of the unhappy
bureaucrat who should attempt to an

could see the world around US with our
eyes. It is relatively easy for the nose,
as there are not two streets that have
the same odor, Every one can recog
nize by the smell whether he is at a
railroad station or in butchers shop
or in grocery.
Now, the sharp nose of the blind
perceives these differences in an ex-
traordinarily re-enforeed manner and
can also distinguish the miner shades,
which are closed to the normal sense
of smell. Not only has each street it's
particular odor, but also the various
parts of the same street; nay, each
house has its characteristic smell, and
the blind man knows in street
through which he often comes where
he is. For the recognition of human
beings the sense of smell is likewise
invaluable. Besides the special smells
Of cigars or perfumes there are many
delicate scents by which he can recog-
nize men. I remember the great sur
prise of lady of my acquaintance to
whom at meeting ! said that she had

possibilities of international complica-
tions and to provide water for the irri-
cation Of thousands of acres which
can be reached by the other canal
only with great difficulty
These are the principal technical
problems in the initial step for the
harnessing of the American Nile.
They are generally conceded to be
quite feasible, both from the point of
view Of the engineering problems in
volved and of the financial arrange
ments for the carrying out of the
plans. The recommendation of the
Reclamation Service report are quite
definite 1t is proposed that the con-
struction of both projects, in view of
their magnitude and the inter-sta as
well as international character of the
river, should be undertaken and ini-
TALLY financed by the Federal govern
ment,
The government should then be re-
imbursed for the construction of the
Boulder Canyon reservoir and power
station by the revenues which would
accrue from the leasing of the power
privileges, and for the construction of
the all-American canal by charges for
placing water on the lands thus
brought under irrigation. 1t is also
recommended that "any state interest
oI in this development shall have the
right at its election to contribute All
equitable part of the cost of the con-
struction of the reservoir and receive
for its contribution a proportionate
share of power" and that "the public
lands that can be reclaimed be re-
served for settlement by ex-service
men,"
The principal recommendations OF
the Reclamation Service report have
been embodied in bill, introduced in
the House Of Representatives on April
25, 1922, by Representative Swing, of
California, and now pending before
Congress. This bill provides for an
appropriation of s7o.Oo0,ooo for the
construction of the Boulder Canyon
da mand the all-American canal.
Technically feasible and patiently
beneficial as these undertakings are
likely to be, there is still much under
brush of various kinds to be cleared

Seeing With the Nose

1t is a familiar fact that nature COM
pensates men ard animals, too-for
the weakening or loss of one sense
by making the others more acute and
efficient This is especially noticeable
in the case of the blind, in whom the
sense of hearing becomes abnormally
acute and the sense of touch becomes
SO delicate as to make it possible to
read from raised lettering. Less IA
niliar. but equally authenticated, is
the development Of the sense of smell
so that blind man can "see with his
nose So, at least, writes blind man
who has made a study of his own fac
ulties and those of his companions in
darkness.
THE sense of smelling among the
blind" he says, grows exceedingly.
sharp, and we utilize it inssinctively
for our purposes. for which the normal
man naturally uses his eyes. The smell,
in particular, helps us in creating a
sense of locality and enables US. in a
region in which we are at home, to find

can be turned to account by diverting
its waters to purposes of irrigation
and power. Of the two. however, irri-
cation should be given preference.
1t is quite OBVIOUS that while the
whole of the Colorado Basin is in
need of development along these engi-
nccring lines, the most pressing need
for immediate development is found
along the lower reaches of the river.
Most of the acreage to be irrigated
lies within reach of the lower third
of the river, while the menace of the
floods directly affects just this part
of the basin. On the principle of
immediate and pressing expediency,
therefore, the Reclamation Service
recommends, as the first step in the
carrying out of the whole vast
Colorado Basin project, two stupendous
engineering undertakings.
The first of these undertakings is
the construction of dam across the
Colorado River, at Boulder Canyon, on
the boundary between Arizona and
Nevada and 110 miles below the Grand
Canyon The foundation of the dam
would be laid on bedrock, 130 feet be-
low the level of the river. The dam
itself would rise from this foundation
in fan-like form to a height Of 600
feet above the river. The width of the
dam would be about 200 feet at the
river level and well over 1000 feet at
the top.
A huge reservoir would thus be Gre
ated in the form of an artificial lake
located directly back of the dam and
extending nearly eighty miles up
stream. 1t would have a capacity for
storing about 3o,0Oo,ooo acre-feet of
water, or enough water to cover
3o,o00O0o acres to the depth of one
foot. This vast amount of water
would represent nearly two years nor
nal flow Of the river.
The second undertaking recon-
mended by the Reclamation Service is
the construction of an all-Amcrican
canal from the Colorado River to the
Salton Sea Basin, to take the place, in
some ways, of the international canal
which now connects the Imperial VAL
ley with the Colorado through Mexico.
The new canal is expected to obviate

mnace can be secured, it is now be-
lieved only by sufficient regulation of
the rivers flow. Such regulation is pos
sible only by providing adequate water
storage along the rivers course
through the construction of suitable
reservoirs. A regulation of the
Colorado Rivers flow for the purpose
of insuring food control, at the same
time providing water facilities for an
extended program of additional irri-
cation, as we'll as creating a mighty
system of waterpower constitutes the
technical problem in the harnessing of
the American Nile.
On May 1s, 1920, the Federal gov
elnment, by an act of Congress,
authorized the Secretary of the In
terror to have an investigation made
of the problems relating to the i'm
perial Valley, and the whole question
of the regulation of the Colorado
River. In accordance with this act
an extensive study was made by the
results of which are embodied in re-
port recently presented to Congress.
On the basis Of its findings the
Reclamation Service recommends that
the problems of the whole Colorado
Basin should be considered as unit,
for otherwise an adequate solution
would be impossible. In the solution
of these problems the questions Of
the rivers flow for the pur-
pose OF controlling the possible foods
should be given first consideration. In
other words, in the harnessing of the
river first attention should be given
to eliminating the destructive
features. Once this is done, the con
structive features of the rivers flow

menace that hangs over the granaries
of Egypt. The lower reaches of the
company at that time had just received
q loan of 100000 from the Southern
Pacific Railroad, of which E. H. Harri-
man was president, and was practically
controlled by the latter. Shortly be-
fore his death, year or two ago, Colo
mel Randolph told the story of the
manner in which the Imperial Valley
was at that time saved from utter de-
struction, and this story is character
istic OF the men who won the Amcri-
can West and of the methods they en-
ployed.
When it became apparent that the
onrush of the rivers waters would
eventually flood the whole Imperial
Valley unless swift and drastic meas
ures were taken to stem the floor, Coz
onel Randolph went to Mr.. Hartman
and placed before him the following
alternative: The Southern Pacific
could ask for a return of the unex-
pended portion of its loan to the Cali
fornia Development Company, grade
it's road track above the flood level
and let the Imperial Valley be de-
stroyed, or else it could authorize the
company to undertake the task of
forcing the river back into its levees
and save. the valley. No estimates
could be even attempted of the cost
of the second possibility.
AS Colonel Randolph tells the story,
Mr. Hartman asked him how many
that the destruction would affect more
than 5000 persons and would sweep
away all their property. Mr.. Harri
man then remarked that something
ought to be done to save these thou
sands, and when Colonel Randolph re-
minded him of the fact that the work
of fighting the river might cost mil
lions, which the Southern Pacific would
have to supply, Mr.. Hartman merely
said, eco ahead"
Colonel Randolph's plan consisted in
driving piles into the food water, lay
ing tracks over tressles, and running
cars over these tracks TO deposit rock
along the way. At one period of the
work, rock was deposited at the rate
OF carload minute. In the end, the
situation was saved, and the cost of
the operation totaled S3,000,000.
Soon after this, however, in 1907,
the river again broke through its
levees at a place below the previous
years tragedy, and the situation was
handled in the same manner as before,
though this time President Roosevelt
promised Mr. Hartman that Congress
would reimburse the Southern Pacific
for these operations.
During the last fifteen years there
have not been any serious floods in
the Imperial Valley, but the menace of
possible floods hangs eternally over the
prosperous country. Already more than
si0.o00,000 have been zpent for food
protection along the lower Colorado
River, and still the fate of the valley
literally hangs on thread every food
season.

away before the solid timber, actual
construction can be reached The Col
orado River problem has been a sub
ject Of repeated and heated discussions
for many years past, and it is st:il a
veritable maze of interstate contro-
v2rsies and legalistic contentious.
The Colorado River takes very little
cognizance of state lines, or, rather,
those who have been responsible for
the laying out of the boundaries of
the seven states that constitute the
southwestern corner of the United
States took all too little cognizance Of
the vagarious course followed by the
great river. What is known as the
tion of the Grand or Upper Colorado
and the Green rivers in the south
ern corner of Utah, at the distance Of
little more than thousand miles from
Grand, now the Upper Colorado, rises
in Colorado and flows into Utah. The
Green has its source in Wyoming, flows
into Utah, then turns into Colorado
and finally returns to Utah, to form
the confluence with the Grand.
From this confluence of its two up
per branches the Colorado River flows
through Arizona, forming a part of the
boundary between Arizona and Nc
vada, the whole Of the boundary be-
tween Arizona and California and
small part of the boundary between
Arizona and Mexico. Then it enters
Mexico and finally winds UP its
tortuous course in the Gulf of Califor-
ria
Silyery Colorado Passes
Through Conflicting Interests
Together with its numerous tribu-
taries, the Colorado River forms the
principal water source of very impor-
tant portions of these six states, as
we'll as of New Mexico. 1t is natural,
therefore, that there should be con-
fiicting interests among these various
states, especially in view of the fact
that the character of the country and
its problems are quite different in the
northern portion of the basin from
what they are in the southern
To some Of the rugged and mountain
matter of obvious Importance to the
New-York tribune., 1922-09-10

Gus states Of the northern group in the
Colorado Basin the considerations of
water power are Of more immediate
and outstanding Importance than those
of irrigation. while the question Of
food control is rather remote. On the
other hand, to some of the hot and
arid southern group irrigation takes
precedence over power, while the con-
siderations Of food control are of so
vital an Importance that they are
placed far ahead of the other two.
From the point of view of local and
regional interests, the states Of the
northern group would prefer to see the
development of the Colorado Basin pro-
ceed from north to south. The whole
project includes the construction of
reservoirs in other parts of the basin
besides the Boulder Canyon. 1t is

Rights of Turkish Women

The political, economic and social
emancipation which American women
have achieved in recent years doubt
less surpasses that Of their sisters in
Turkey. Yet the latter have made con-
siderable progress. They have got rid
of the .'feredjen and the ''yashmak. :
and have substituted therefor the
latest European styles of dress leav-
ing face, neck and arms uncovered.
This liberty of dressing like the

scriptions of the "Cheri"-the sacred
law of Islam. And now the Official
Journal" of Constantinople publishes a
ministerial decision, sanctioned by an
imperial decree, which ordains that
