Uncle Sam May Join Preparation Board

porated in the senate resolution of October IS, 1921. by which the senate ratified the separate treaty between the United States and Germany.
 This reservation, which was later included in the Presidents procama- tion, provided that the United States shall not be represented or participate in any body, agency or commission, nor shall any person represent the United States as a member of any body, agency or commission in which the United States is authorized to par tlcipate by this treaty unless and until an act of the congress of the United States shall provide for such represen- tation or participation"
 Thus the administration holds that under the specific language of the sen ates ratification resolution the initia- tive Is clearly left with congress and, it is argued, suggestions from sena- tors or congressman that the Presi- dent should go ahead and name rep resentative and transmit the name to the senate for ratification are clearly beside the point.
 Senator Underwood recently de- clared in the senate that the only way for the United States to get any part of the German reparation payments was to get representation on the al- lied reparation commission.

Irrigation Threatens the Glacier Park

St. Mary lake, the upper of the two, all of 1t in Glacier National park, is one of the most strikingly beautiful waters on the American continent. There nre many who assign it first place. An English traveller who had explored the Himalayas and the Andes recently stated that, among the lakes of greatest beauty in the world it is by far the supreme example ofs its scenic kind.
 It lies east and west between moun- tains of quite extraordinary form and coloring, including such world celebri- ties as Red Eagle, Little Chief and Going-to-the-Sun mountains. and heads up toward the glacier-splashed Con- tinental divide at point of sensation al magulticence.
 The proposed reservoir will cover the forested shores from which these famous mountains rise and will sub- merge several miles of fine forest at the head of the lake through which the glaclerrun St. Mary river winds into the lake. When the irrigation wa ter Is drawn low in August, the world famous view from the St Mary ichalets.- which thousands go there to see every summer, will be slasheu across the lower middle by mucky mud flats

all absorbing. and 1t seems everyone from the stenographer to the boss him. self is keenly interested. This has come about through reversal in con ditions. Rents are no longer low, in fact they have reached the point where many families cannot pay; buildings are scarce. there are at least 100000 homes short, not to mention other types of structures, and practically everyone is affected.
 As consequence the idea of home-building show attracts imme- diate and keen interest. In three large cities this spring shows of this kind will be held and no doubt all records for attendance will be broken. People are interested in home-building ideas, and judging by the latest re ports from various building commis- sioners' offices, many of them are building their own homes this spring. The number of permits has jumped past records are left far behind.
 These people are looking for ideas in building because they have come to realize fully that home ownership Is the short and direct cut to happi- ness. They want ideas. And we hope to help them.
 For those who are limited in means, who want the best their money can get, We suggest that they pause moment and consider the delightful small home shown here with floor plan.
 A glance at the picture shows a very attractive cozy design. built of frame with brick steps and front porch. There Is a quaint air about the dwelling that sends out strong appeal and it's inherent coziness is quality in it's favor. The des,gn does not call for any special construction and, being more or less rectangular, there will be DO extra expense in con str0ction. In fact 1t Is designed to offer the builder something worth while at very reasonable outlay.
 Passing from the outside, one finds the front door opening directly into a large living room. 17 feet 6 inches by l2 feet 6 inches. The space that would ordinarily be used for front hall or vestibule has been added tG the living room, making that room large and infinitely more comfortable. Windows on two sides provide ample sunlight and ventilation. No matter how small the house these days, the living room is large because 1t has come to be considered practically the he-all and end-all of family life. It is the recreation center. loungiIig room md informal gathering place as well IS the reception room for state af- 'airA The advent of the phonograph

The shop she entered was manned by com pletely discouraged and disheartened group of sales people. The girl at the phonograph shop was plainly given over to the most gloomy forebodings. Abandoned to depression. her frock sagged, her hair was listless and dropping. Into this breeding melan- choly the mid-Victorian Lady ruthless ly broke, and. intruding upon the secret sorrow of the Gloomy One, briskly demanded: Have you 'Smiles?'" The saleslady surveyed space and in colorless monotone droned: "All out" as though she se- cretly rejoiced In the fact.

Other schools of coaching avoid the

your opponents' territory.
But one sound principle of foot

quarterback must dare. He has
had 1t proved that his running attack
is not gaining ground. This is due to
one of three causes: First. lack of
power in his team; second. the con-
centrations of the defense to stop
only running attack; third. greater
skill and power by the defense.
A team may wear down the op-
posing defense by battering away
until the last quarter. But that can
not be reckoned with as well
planned scheme of attack. Thus. the
forward pass } ere is a good attack
to launch. If 1t succeeds at once. the
morale of the defense is weakened
and it will adjust itself to stop such
an attack. In doing so. it will leave
openings for your running attack,
which has previously failed, to gain
ground through. Forward pass here
now in order to surprise your op-
ponent. If that Is accomplished, you
have paved the way for all attacks to
