BEDROCK STRUCK In CENTER
OF RIVER AT GLEN CANYON

A report from H. W. Dennis, con-
sulting engineer for the Southern
California Edison Company, says that
the core of their drill in the center
of the Colorado river at Lees Ferry,
the site of the proposed Glenn Can
yon dam, shows bedrock at depth of
81 feet. Mr.. Dennis adds that the
depth of bedrock on either side of the
center of the river may be either
more or less than the depth of the
center, but on account OF the stratlfl-
ed character of the rock, it is his op-
inion that no material difference in
depth over 81 feet will be found over
the width of the river.
While other holes are being drilled
the results already obtained shows
conclusively that the construction of
the dam at Lees Ferry is entirely
feasible.
Heretofore it has been contended
that bedrock would be found at about
80 feet at Lees Ferry, while tests
show over ITO feet at the Boulder
Canyon dam site.
Other tests as to the porousness of
tn eCanyon walls and whether or not
they would retain the water, are be-
ing made by government and private
expert geologists. So far this pustly
favored dam site has stood all tests
and objections that could be coniured
up against and still stands as ma
lures best offering. a natural site,
best and cheapest ofc obstruction.
Private enterprise stands ready to
build the dam and are only waiting
permission from Arizona and the Unit
ed States to go ahead with the work
of creating a new Arizona

SEEKING KIND HUSBANDS
Young Women Of Holland Understand
That Americans Treat Their
Wives Well.

Thirty-five young women from Hol-
land stepped foot on American shores
the other day admitting they are
seeking kind husbands because they
heard that American men are good to
their wives" Some American wives
may be inclined to enjoy silent laugh
over this innocence displayed by the
Hollanders, but after the first humor-
GUS aspect of the situation has passed.
most of those who have enjoyed the
comedy will be einclined to believe
after all that there is much merit in
what these foreign women say about
the husbands of America, observes
the Bangor Commercial.
When one sits down and considers
the lot of women in many countries of
Europe, and reflects upon the limited
opportunities which they possess for
enjoying life, It ought to be source
OF mutual satisfaction both to hus-
bands and wives in America that they
are living in country where higher
standard of marital relationship OBJ
tains than In many foreign nations.

always associated mahogany furniture
with colonial interior, and it has
been furniture finished in dark red
and highly polished. Sow. however,
we are using mahogany in ether
shades. such as the tobacco-brown
Honduras variety, and it is certainly
practical to have the doors match this
also. Recently the writer saw some
very attractive birch furniture, Wind
sor chairs, stained q nice brown, that
were suitable in every way for a colo
NAL interior. In such a case birch
would also solve the door problem and
the floor problem.
Our fireplace would be simple in the
extreme One of the things we have
to be thankful for nowadays is that it
is possible to get fireplaces that really
reproduce the authentic colonial note,
and get such reasonably. One great
manufacturer of interior trim is plac-
ing fireplaces on the market that are
absolutely perfect, and the price Is
low. You can use wallpapered rooms
in colonial interior, but if SO, use
quaint flower patterns, preferably. If
you prefer plain wall, try painting
in the lighter shades of cream and
gray; or sanded, light water color
tinted effects.

CALL NICK ALTR0CK
CLOWN OF BASEBALL
Fans Think He Is Funniest Thing
Walking on Two Legs.

Nick Altrock is the "clown of base
ball" The Washington American
league team keeps Nick on it's payroll
because he lures thousands Of fans
each year to the ball park.
During his Chicago White Sox days,
Nick was great southpaw. He
slipped, inevitably. in course of time.
and Comiskey sent him to the Ameri-
can association.
Nick felt it in his arms and legs and
all through his body that he was aging
and had only few years at most to
stick to baseball.
One day he happened to call around
the training quarters of Johnny Kill
bane, then featherweight champion.
Kilbane was shadow boxing at the
time. Altrock thought it queer
stunt.
Up to this time he had always been
a rather sober-minded sort of fellow.
One day a ground ball struck pebble
or something, bounded and hit Nick in
the face. The picture Of Kilbane
shadow boxing crossed his mind.
At once Nick began to shadow box,
fighting Off imaginary opponents and
finally going down for the count. The
incident took place in Kansas City,
Kan. The crowd in the stands went
wild.
Altrock got up and looked at the
crowd In Amusement. He had no idea
that his stunt would get across. Know
ing that his old pitching arm was get
! ting all kinked up, he decided then and
there to capitalize that shadow boxing
| act.
| He became the "clown of baseball"
Everybody who follows the fortunes OF
the American league teams thinks he
/ is about the funniest thing on legs.
Nick has kept up the stunt that first
brought him fame as clown, but he
has added scores Of others. His tight
rope act on the foul lines never fails
| to get the crowd.
When the mud Is soft in the coach
| Ing boxes after rain, Nick performs
| fancy skating stunts, the skit ending
| with heavy fall, but always In the
! grass
He has dozens Of skits, all panto-
mime, and every one Of which gets the
crowd with him. When Nick started
his baseball career as stellar south
| paw he had no idea he would end II
as a clown. He seems good for sew
erai years vet; as long as the crowd
likes his antics, Altrock will continue
to draw his pay check.

To End Wife Beating.

Wife beating henceforth will be con-
sidered crime in France The old
laws-under which a man was not
punished who "in order either to make
himself obeyed or else as a punish
ment for an unfaithful wife, beat her,
have been repealed by the court fol-
lowing the acquittal of husband who
had been prosecuted by his wife. The
husbands lawyers produced the old
edicts which authorized husband to
mete out manual punishment" when
wife refused to obey him, and said
that the husband was within the old
Roman laws which stated: "a man has
the right Of life and death over his
Wife" The court agreed and released
the husband, but the wife appealed to
the higher court, which now has de-
cided that the old laws no longer
stand, and that not only should a bru-
tai husband be punished but that also
wife who has been beaten should
have cause for divorce.

gracefully curved dormers in the roof
