EARLY ACTION OVER
BOULDER CANYON is
PLAN OF CONGRESS

Among measures remaining in house
committees of the national congress
to be acted upon shortly after the
opening of congress next Monday is
the Johnson-Swing bill, on which
hearings were held for several months
last year by the irrigation committee.
The measure, which would author
ize governmental construction of an
irrigation, flood control and power
dam at Boulder canyon on the Colora-
do river, and also the so-called all
American canal, is expected to re-
ceiYe early action.
President Coolidge has expressed
mis- approval Of the principle of gov
eminent supervision Of the work of
Harvesting the Colorado river, and al
though he has not endorsed the bill
by name, it is understood legislation
along that line would be acceptable to
the White House.
Hearings on the bill were held be-
fore the adjournment last spring The
committee, however, probably will re-
quire some time to discuss it's pro-
posals in executive session before
coming to vote.

The Yuletide Spirit
ByLurana Sheldon. in New Y ork Times

THE spirit of the Yuletide, how it sinks
Il into the hearth
The lips begin to tremble and the teers
begin 20 start.
The flow of recollections, dear and sweet,
come to my brain,
And feel the old youth throbbing in my
bosom once again.
The spirit of the Yuletidel How it thrills
the sluggish frame
With the sight of old-time faces, with some
long-forgotten namel
Once again the dead are living; once again
care fits away.
And the whole earth rings with pleasure
at the dawning Christmas Day.
The spirit of the Yuletidel May it come
with blessed peace.
Till all earthly strifes are ended, till all
earthly sorrows ceaseI
Men of all the lands are brothers-humans
rise to heights divine
When the Christmas bells are ringing and
the Christmas candles shinel

7 SIT by my frosted window
! AS the crowds pass to and fro.
Over an ice-sheathed pavement,
White with new-fallen snow.
Faces there, bright with gladness,
Brows deep-set with frown,
Change, and their mirth or madness
Beckon men up or down.
Would might pierce the windows
Clouded with discomfort,
Seeking the jewels a-sparkle,
Dimmed, but as yet, unspent;
Friendship, with cheer and gladness,
Touches of tender care
Bring out and light the candle
Of hope that world would share.
l sit by my frosted window
With little that may know
Of the crowds dim fears and passions
AS throngs surge to and fro;
But the bells ring out for Christmas,
And men forget their woe
In the banished pain with the Hope that came
With the Shepherds, long ago.

 Chicago kept pace with the Browns, whom they trail by four games and a half, with two-ply win from Phila- delphia. to 2 and s to 3.
 In a mound battle between CoveJas- kie and Ferguson Cleveland eked out . 1 to 0 decision over Boston. Ban Johnson, president of the American league. was spectator.

BUYING PICKS UP
Briskcr Business Stimulates Interest
 in Hardware Markets

New York. Aug. e.--Hardware Age, in it's weekly market summary, will say tomorrow:
 More vigorous buying is reported in most of the wholesale hardware centers. A number of small but inn portant price reductions have been made and the effect has stimulated buying in most places. Coupled with this, the healthy condition of crops and the report of earnings by the United States Steel corporation have buttressed confidence throughout the general market.
 Retailers are reported to be order ing futures more liberaly than they have since early spring. Their orders are numerous, but are for the most part small.
 Early estimates by hardware job bers indicate that July sales will show a substantial gain over those of June. Collections are better. deliveries are satisfactory and the general tone Of the market seems to have ben stabii- izd"

He's the greatest outhelder that has broken into the major leagues since the entry of Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker or Eddie Roush."
 This is the compliment Manager Miller Huggins of the New York Yam kees paid Earl Combs, who recently suffered broken leg in game at Cleveland.
 Combs at present is in New York convalescng. There will be no way of telling the effect of the injury un- til Combs has put the leg 10 every test.
 A broken bone in the leg is very serious thing to a fast man in base ball. Combs is that type of player. Had he been developed as sprinter he would have stepped close to 10 flat for the 100 yards. ..
 Tn all my career as player and manager l have never enthused over any, other recruit as have over Combs" continued Higgins
 Great Stars Are Rare,
 He IS one of those great players, real stars, who come only about every 25 years.
 Combs hasn't a single weakness. His arm isn't to be compared with Bob Meusel's. but is plenty good enough, far better than most major league outtielders
 "A natural batter, Combs hits any kind of pitching with equal ease, He times all kinds of pitching perfectly

and hits the ball hard, If his injury doesn't affect his play, he is certain to take his place among the games greatest batters.
 Although big fellow, Combs is 1 unusually fast. He can step down to first as quickly as the dimnutive Whitey Witt, one of the fastest men going to first in the American league.
 Has the Winning Spirit.
 "Once he gets on, Combs uses his speed to a s great advantage as in reaching first. He is able to get d big lead, senses the break and is fine man at hitting the dirt. His slide is most deceptive
 His fielding is on par with his batting and speed. He gives every promise of being another Iris Speaker in the field.
 "A fine disposition, Il great com- petitve spirit plus wonderful natural ability, made Combs stand out as q second Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker and 3 few more of the great outfelders combined.
 dul NJIllcu dDOut Ills DlOheu leg Few fast men ever come back as good as ever. The late Ray Chap man of Cleveland was one of the few exceptions"
 All of which makes it'apparent that Earl Combs, in his first year as big eaguer, has most favorably impressed his manager, Miller Hug eirs.
