BUICK 1925
MODELS EXCEL

Perhaps the most outstanding thing
in connection with the progress OF
Buick is the fact that at no time has
Buick incorporated in its cars any
uncertain or untried features.
The excellent Buick product of to-
day is the result Of a constant de-
velopment of units that. after extern
sive research and experiment, left no
question as TO their practicability. The
first thought considered with the adop-
ton of any features in connection with
Buick cars is whether or not the fea-
ture will be practical in universal use,
whether it will stand up and perform
satisfactorily in the hands of every
type of driver art under every driv-
ing condition.
All experiments and tests are made
under conditions that will readily
demonstrate whether the feature be-
ing considered will render satisfactory
and uninterrupted service, not only
under ordinary but also under extra

RADIO RECEPTION AND THE
DEAF

In one of the popular periodicals
bearing the date of January 1923, there
appeared an article purporting to give
the results of experiments conducted
at the California school for the deaf
These experiments related to the use
Of the radio in enabling the deaf to
regain their hearing. In the article
in question it was claimed that the
California school for the deaf "has
enabled boys and girls born deaf, to
hear and enjoy radio concerts, lectures,
and even to have explanations of their
lessons given to them through the
medium OF the wireless.
This weird and unwarranted exag-
geration so elected hope among the
deaf that great flood of letters
poured in upon the school from all
over the country. To deny the cura-
tive effects of the radio the school
was compelled to issue a circular
letter OF explanation. In this letter
the article was characterized as the
romancing of an imaginative space
writer"
In recent statement. covering the
question of the usefulness of the radio
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1924-10-10

in connection with aiding the deaf,
so that they may be able to hear. the
head of the California school Tor the
deaf says:
Our schools for the deaf all over
the land have experimental to some
extent with radio with the inevitable
result that they have become salts
fed there is no advantage to the deaf
in this more than in other appliances
that have been devised for the aid
of hearing. AT the convention OF the
instructors of the deaf, held at Belle
vile, Ontario, last summer, there was
an imposing array of radio apparatus
on exhibition. but it was the opinion
of all in attendance that the results
were Disappointing"
The moral OF this article is that it
is sometimes cruelty improper to mis-
represent facts of science. Surely
science is too important to be treated
to carelessness or active misreprcsen-
tation. Matters which concern the
sick and the inirm and the defective
deserve to be considered on the
squarest and most truthful plane.
Some appear to like to romance with
scientific subjects. Romance is al
right. if it is recognized as romance
then, by stimulating the imagination
and by provoking experimentation
benefit may come. But to distort facts
to produce sensation may serve only
to elate hopes so unduly as to cause
cruel despair when the fraud is dis
covered.

The time has come for the over
hauling of many of the irrigation sys-
TENS in Idaho. Very great savings
IN water and cost of maintainence NAV
be made by the complete re-arrange-
ment OF the canal and lateral systems
in these valleys of Idaho where irriea-
ton is carried on by a large number
OF separate units. Such economies
may come by the uniting of two or
more bitches in common organiza-
ton. the absobtion OF smaller canals
by larger systems, or By the organiza-
ton OF comparatively large areas into
irrigation districts.
The earliest irrigation in the west
ern states was by means of small
bitches dug by individuals or by
small groups OF farmers working
together. These bitches were taken
out OF those streams which furnished
a plentiful supply of water through I
out the season. These early bitches
we're enlarged as time went on and
larger or higher bitches were built
Aiier time The area of land irrigated
became so large that it became ne
'esSary to store food waters for use

sion from the river In many cases
these canals run side by side for miles
As each OF these canals must be main
tanned and operated there is an un-
necessary duplication OF expence
Perhaps a more serious result is the
very great increase in seepage losses
and other waste of water due to the
number of canals and latcrals which
might be done away with. The loss
OF water from two canals running
side by aside will nearly always be
greater than would the loss from a
single larger canal carrying the same
amount of water as the two smaller
ones.
Often great savings in expense OF
operation and in water supply can be
made by means OF reorganization
OF the management of two irrigation
systems which parallel each other
This also might be done with the
expenditure of very small amounts of
money for new construction or en-
largement. Under other conditions
it will be found that the expenditure
OF considerable sums in charging one
canal or lateral OF a group or the
construction of new latcrals in place
of old canals will be very well worth
while.
In many cases a single we'll con-
sfructed diversion dam and headgate
will take the place OF several rock
and brush dams and wooden head
gates. The new dam will cost con-
siderable money to construct but it
will not require rebuilding after every
food. Moreover. with such head
works the canals may be kept uni
formly full and annual periods OF
shortage will occur while 'the dam
is being put in.
In other cases economies in the use
Of water will result from the abandon
ment OF duplicate canals and laterals
with their unnecessary seepage and
evaporation losses.
In striving for such reorganization
and betterments the chief difficulties
will be found to be overcoming of
human jealousies and prejudices and
not the engineering problems. The
splendid results which have been OBJ
aimed during this dry year, which
night so well have ended in disaster
On many projects, gives hope that
I will be possible to work out better
projects and better conditions. No
letter proof could be asked of the
act that results can be gained by
working together which never could
