TO TALK ON SURJECT

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Sept. %
Harry NJ. Daugherty, former attor-
ney general, who leaped back into
the headlines over the weekend, sat
quietly in, his new law office here
today watching the excitement.
He received nswspapermen cor
daily but refused to give them q
formal. statement other than to say
that copies of his open letter to
John w. Davis and CASTOR b.
Means repudiation documents are
true. fsf5
Daugherty learned today that
Means, in an interview in Washing
ton, had denied reputation of his
testimony.
On east Gay Street here, only q
few blocks from Daugherty's Col.
umbus home, is the apartment of
Miss Roxie Stinson, divorced wife
of the late Jess Smith and her
self a prominent witness for the
prosecution in the senate investlga-
ton of the department: of justice.
AS a. result of the alleged state
ment of Means that her testimony
was .'tissue of ies," Miss Stin-
son also was receiving /reporters
and telling them that she had not
been eoerced to testify as she did
and that her testimony was vol
uutarv and true.

URGE STEPS TO
PROTECT VALLEY
WATER RIGHTS

IMPERIAL, Sept. 21.-Roy Ad-
ans, supervisor from this district, is
of the opinion that the Imperial r.
rigation District should exhaust
every legal remedy to protect its
water right on 10000 second feet
of the Colorado River and that such
action as is necessary should be
started Immediately.
More than Is years ago Imperial
Valley filed on this water under the
California laws and the matter was
snreported and accepted by the Fed
eral Government. Since that time
there can be no question but that
due diligence has been used and the
entire flow of the river has been
utilized on many occasions, Adams
says. The water shortage from
which Imperial Valley has just
emerged was dne primarily and en-
tirely to the fact that reclamation
projects in Utah and the upper
states are using waters to which I'M
perial Valley justly holds title, ac
cording the Supervisor Adams, Pres
ident Pound of the Irrigation dis
trict. Directors Rose and Aten and
others.
1t is this that the Imperial Valley
is now being called upon to stop and
as Utah is apparently one of the two
bill for the Boulder Dam and All
states opposed to the SwingJohnson
American canal, the people here will
doubtless endorse the litigation, in
spite of the fact That it may take a
number of years to get Il final de-
cision. Injunction however will pre-
vent Il water shortage next summer,
in the opinion of those who are get
ting behind the question.

4 rumor swept over FL Centre this

Are You On he Minute At
 Your Job9
By RUTH LEIGH

1kTLL tell you what the trouble is se with a great many young folks
 in business today" said a na- tionally known financier' recently, sssThey don't know how to be punctual And lack of punctuality, carelessness about little things, characterizes all their work. At least, that's my ex- perience."
 It has been mine, too, and vigorous. iy applauded this remark. One of the most serious faults of the average busi. ness woman today is her lack of q feel ing of responsibility about keeping er- gagements punctually.
 A retail store executive who has charge of hiring several hundred work CTS told me that when he hires a young man or woman he usually makes def mite appointment beforehand. Then he watches the clock carefully to see if the applicant comes on time. The way he or she regards this engagement, and the punctuality with which it is met, goes far toward getting the position for the worker.
 sGEls, if you make an appointment for 4 o'clock, get there two or three minutes before 4. Don't be afraid of seeming too eager, too unfashionable (this business of being ''fashionably lateh is ridiculous). Be there on the minute, and you'll make a far better impression than you will by being late.
 And if you are delayed, and unable to be at place at the moment planned, above all, telephone, or in some way communicate with the other person. 1t IS a mystery to me how otherwise intele ligent people will make the mistake of assuming that another person knows why or when a. delay occurs.

The WelJ- Dressed Man
 By BEAuNAsH Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation Of Every Occasion
Contrasting, Colt suits

Contrast, rather than harmony, is the correct principle of mems dress. It is rendered crisper and more characterful. The use of single color tends to life lessress and monotony. This truth is easily demonstrated by wearing hat, suit, shirt, scarf, hose, handkerchief, shoes and gloves, of say, brown. The effect is dull and stcdgy. Introduce green into the shirt and green-and- -pur- pie into the scarf and handkerchief and you have combination which sets off your brown outfit stfikingly and smart ly by virtue of the contrast.
 To this obvious and now generally ac- cepted principle of dress is traceable the spreading vogue of the plain-coiored golf jacket together. with plaid-pattern knickers, as portrayed in the accom- panying sketch. The contrast lends spice and dash to this kit The Shet- land wool jacket is the. new 2-button, pleatless, beltless model embeIlished merely with patch pockets to give it an agreeably sportsmafislike look. It is cut full and free-draping and slightly rounded off in front. The knickers may be of plaid wool or of plain lined. They have the wide, baggy oserhang at the knee which is characteristic of ';plus fours, as they are generally termed.
 The jacket should, be of, say, solid brown; the knickers may show. brown or brown-and-green stripes upon a light CT ground. The stockings, revealing just a glimpse of the popular diamond design, may be patterned in light and dark-green or green-with-brown. The cap should be green, not, brown, plain or Daild, to harmonize wifh fha knfrt
 CTS, Dark-brown brogued shoes are the final and spruce touch.
 So much stress is laid upon the cor rect combination of colors, because, it is herein that many mems taste is at
