MANY IMPROVEMENTS
IN CHEVROLET CARS

An understanding of how the re-
markable rate of progress is affected
in the automobile industry may be had
by a study of the story of an individ-
ual manufacturer.
The Chevrolet Motor company, the
popularity of whose products has SO
greatly increased within the last few
years, is fair example.
Commenting on these changes, Lee
Carron, Chevrolet representative in
Flagstff, said, at has been the pol
icy of the company economical trans
portation with quality. We felt that
this could be achieved only by con-
stant study of popular requirements
and constant endeavor to keep our
products in line with the best inn
provements made in automotive con-
struction. These improvements were
not made all at one time so that one
years model would be radically diff
ferent from the others, but were in
corporated from time to time just as
fast as they could be introduced into
the car after the desirability of such
a change became obviously worth
while.
"The changes in our present Su-
perior model, introduced a few years
ago, have been made from time to
time without any stress being placed
on them until at present the changes
made in the last two years number
more than score.
Some of the more important i'm
provements that add to the perform

the driver are:
Brake drums enlarged from 10 by
/ "A inches to II by / ga inches, the
use of brake rods instead of cables
and a new micrometer adjustable
equalizing device in the service
brakes.
Alemite fabrication system installed
to replace grease cups throughout the
car.
Improved steering by use of
straight front-axle and tie-rod, and
also through the use of a more rigid
mounting for the steering gear.
Strength added to rear by using
heavier rear axle, substituting ball for
roller bearings at the rear wheels and
installing new method of fastening
rear springs to axle. This latter also
tends to eliminate possible rattles.
Guage rod now used to show level
of oil in crank case instead of the pet
cocks which were difficult to reach.
Oil pump has been placed back of
generator instead Of in front to make
it more accessible.
Engine has been raised 1 3-8 inches
to give more road clearance
Piston pins now Tapped, giving them
a glass finish.
Vanadium steel used for transmits
sion gears and rear springs.
Battery hanger improved; brake
and clutch pedal rods shortened.
Improved steering wheel installed
with horn button in center; dash lamp
added as regular equipment on all
models.
From time to time other improve
ments will be added as fast as they

what has already been accomplished
The case presented is novel one
!! Whether the circumstances make il
possible or proper to take any action
from considerations of comfy is q
question which does not pertain to
this department; but that question
should be decided as one of policy
only, because in my opinion, the
rules, principles, and precedents OF
international law impose no liability
or obligation upon the United
States"
The principles thus stated, accept
ed by our courts as controlling, will
be the principles applicable to the
Colorado River.
Any limitation of our right to take
all the water from the Colorado
river is not one of international law
but of comfy or friendship to be ad-
justed between the two countries by
treaty
Having faith in our government,
notwithstanding the political mud
singing and muck -raking that has
been going on in Washington, for it
may, like dust storm in Arizona,
tend to clear the atmosphere, still
have confidence that American rights
will be safe-guarded in a treaty con-
cerning the Colorado, if one should
be found necessary, as they were in
the Rio Grande.
That treaty provides:
After the grant to Mexico of Co.,
900 acre feet of water per annum
for 10000 acres of land
ARTICLE III. In case, however,
of extraordinary drought or serious
accident to the irrigation system in
the United States, the amount de-
livered to the Mexican Canal shall
be diminished in the same proper
tions as the water delivered to the
lands under said irrigation system in
the United States"
ARTICLE v. The United States,
in entering into this treaty, does not
thereby comedies, expressly or by i'm
plication, any legal basis for any
claims heretofore asserted or which
may be hereafter asserted by reason
of any losses incurred by the owners
of land in Mexico due or alleged to
be due to the diversion of the waters
of the Rio Grande within the United
States; nor does the United States
in any way concede the establish
ment of any general principles or pre-
cedent by the concluding of this
treaty"
1t will be observed that in the
treaty concerning the waters of the
Rio Grande, three acre feet per an
mum was allowed at the head of the
caal for Mexican lands, with a re-
stricting provision that in the event
of drought or serious accident to the
irrigation system in the United States
and the supply to American irrigators
is diminished, that delivered to Mexi-
can irrigators shall be diminished in
like proportion.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE
COLORADO RIVER PACT
BY W. s. Niorviel
ARTICLE VIII

IN I0LE VIII
Rights of Mexico and American
Rights.
Mexico has no treaty right with
the United States for the use of
water from the Colorado river She
has the natural right to use any or
all the water that may come within
her borders, and her legal rights
are limited to that The citizens of
the United States may take all the
water from the Colorado river and
use it for any beneficial purpose
in the United States and violate no
international legal right, no matter
what prior use may have been made
of it in Mexico.
In passing: 1t may be stated that
there can be no material increase of
irrigated lands along the lower Colo
RADIO river until storage is provided,
the low flow of the river during dry
seasons being now fully appropriated.
In Mexico they are cultivating and
irrigating approximately 100000
acres for which they use approx
mately $4,000 acre feet of water per
annum from the Colorado, taken
through the Hanlon Heading.
Nearly thirty years ago the Cali
fornia Development Company, a cor
poration organized for the purpose
of reclaiming lands in the Imperial
Valley, California, found it too diff
ficult and economically impractical
The Coconino sun., 1924-09-12

at that time to take water from the
Colorado river except by taking their
canal down through Mexico terri
tory, and finally solved the problem
for the time at least, by forming an
irrigation company in Mexico known
as Sociedad de Riego y Terrenor de
la BAHIA California, which we will
call the Mexican Company. All of
the stock was owned by the Cali
fornia Development Co. &C. d. c.
The Mexican Company obtained q
right of way from the Mexican Gov
ernment for the canal through MeXi-
can territory. In 1899 water filings
were made by the G. ID. Co. appro-
priating 10000 sec, ft. of the flow of
the Colorado river ON the west bank
some distance above the international
boundary line The two companies
combined and built the canal, the
agreement being that lands in MeXi-
co that could be irrigated by gravity
from the canal might have water, the
balance of the water recrossing the
border line into California 40 or so
miles west of the river. That was
the agreement, leaving out the de-
tails, which were exceedingly numer-
Gus, long and complicated.
Before that time there had been
no serious attempt to obtain water
rights and divert water from the
Colorado in Mexico for Mexican lands
as there is no rock or hard ground
banks below the boundary line for
a foundation for canal intake, with
out which it would be difficult to
finance and construct a project in
that country.

Answers Description.
Titan did paint a Minerva, Miss
Warner finds, to which this answers
the description exactly. Vasari. the
famous art critic of the sixteenth
century, in his writings. told of a
large painting Titan did in which
only Minerva was completed, the
other figures. Neptune, etc. being
left unfinished. 1t was painted at
the order of Duke Ferrara, the hus-
bs nd of thr famed and DETAINED
LuCrecia Bergia. Ferrara died and
the picture never was completed and
1t hung in Titian's studio in Venice
until 1875. when he and his son
died OF the plague and it is known
that tat night robbers entered the
house and looted it of many pos
= ssions, including his paintings
there.
Ferrara was u patron to Titan and
the great master did many paintings
for him, always using the same woman
as a model. Many of these now hang
in various galleries in Italy, France,
Germany and Spain. Miss Warner

TITAN CANVAS OF MINERVA
BELIEVED IN WASHINGTON HOME
Miss May Warner Treas.
lres Quaint Work of
Master Brush.

A picture which bears all the ear
marks of Il genuine Titan has been
unearthed in Washington.
The owner, Miss May Warner of
1I21 21st street. admits that as yet
no credited authority has been will
ing to pass final judgment on it, as
credited authorities. even the most
learned. are wary of risking their
reputation when so many fakes and
limitations are being pamed off on a
credulous world. This particular
painting, however, is not being
paimed off on credulous world. and
as for its genuineness the owner and
her friends have put absolute con-
hdence in it only after the most ex-
haustive, painstaking and patient re-
rearch that has extended over several
years and led to extensive study in
Italy, Germany, France and Spain.

Purchased From Legation,
The picture was purchased by Miss
Warner several years ago from one
of the Legations in Washington on
the retirement of the minister. At
that time it was said to be the paint
ing of Spanish princess by Valas-
queE. This was diSproved without
any dlfhculty by art experts in this
country. Previously it had been ex-

U. S. TO CLOSE OUT
SURPLUS PROPERTY
Final Sales Planned to Dispose of
War Material Before Fiscal
Year Ends.

The War Department today an
nounced that, beginning at once,
every effort will be made to clean up
the remaining war surplus property
before the close of the fiscal year
which ends June 80.
The first sale of Importance is to
be held in Boston, Mass. January II.
followed in February and March with
sales at ARMY depots in Brooklyn,
Chicago, San Francisco and San An
tonic. These sales &ill be quarter
part consist of textiles, wearing ap-
parel and general merchandise. Sales
of an entirely different character are
to be held shortly when certain large
real estate and manufacturing plant
holdings located in the United Safes
and Canada will be sold.
The remaining surplus of the War
Department, with the exception of
real estate and plant properties, is
to be concentrated by samples at the
larger Army depots and sold by pub
lie auction. Such depots are Boston,
Brooklyn, Chicago, San Francisco and
San Antonio.
War Department officials assert
that the success of the War Depart
ment's liquidation campaign, which
has sold in five years time materials
costing the government nearly $4,000, :
100000, is due to newspaper and busi
ness paper advertising. With the eX
ception Of the auctioneers, who have
cried many of the sales. advertising
is the only salesman that mas been
employed by the government. For ad-
vertising space, booklets, engravings
and art work the War Department
has spent approximately $1,40O, 900.
This represents a selling cost of less
than one-half of l per cent.

same technique, the same coloring,
the same handling of the motif, the
same treatment of hands and fea-
lures, fore shortening and other
characteristic features are evident
throughout. The earmarks are all
there, including the same shade of
red paint used as a base showing
through in spots on the Minerva as 1t
does on the known Titan master
pieces.
Miss Warner believes that the cir
Gle of evidence has been completed.
That the painting was of his time
and Italian has been proved, that
there was lost painting of Minerva
is historical and that the finished fig
ure would have been cut from the un-
finished whole to be sold seems logi-
cal. Add to that that Minerva is
strikingly like other Titians of the
same type, and Miss Warner and her
friends believe they have a strong
foundation for their claims. Even if
no authority ever puts the stamp of
authenticity on 1t. the owner has ac-
Quired an art treasure OF rare beauty

EPINARD DUE TO RUN
In BIG LAUREL RACE

NEW YORK, October 15.-The
Maryland Jockey Club Is attempting
| to arrange a fourth international
special race at Laurel on Novemb er
| l, in which Epinard. SaraZen, Wise
Counsellor and Mad Ply would meet.
Pierre Wertheimer, owner of Epinard,
said here.
The purse and distance have not
been decided upon and the attitude
not known to Wertheimer. who said,
however, that he would enter Epin-
ard in the race if it were run.
Wertheimer will sail for France
Saturday, and probably will be accom-
panied by Everett Haynes, American
jockey, who has had the mount on the
French colt in all of his important
starts. Haynes will ride other Vert
heimer horses on European tracks,
and Epinard will have another jockey
up in the fourth International race, If
it is run, Wertheimer said.
LATONIA, Ky. October 15.-Epin-
ard, Pierre Wertheimer's champion

good shape, he will be a starter in
the. Laurel stake, condition affair
for horses of all ages at one mile,
Trainer Eugene Leigh announced. In
this race the horse will get in with
116 pounds. Trainer Leigh was agree
ably surprised when he looked over
the list of possible starters and found
that SaraZen was among the missing.
The fact that Sarazen was a gelding
barred him from the race. This
should make Epinard as big a favor
lite at Laurel Saturday as he was n,
Latonia last Saturday.
Wise Counsellor has been shipped to
Laurel to start in that stake.
CHICAGO, October 15.-Fred-ick
Burton of Chicago. owner of Wise
Counsellor, has proposed an interna
tional race, matching Sarazen, Lad
kin and Wise Counsellor, winners of
the three international sweepstakes:
Epinard, French champion. and Black
Gold, kentucky derby winner, to be
decided at Churchill Downs course |
early in November.
"Epinard is much better horse |
than any of his races in America have |
Indicated" Burton said. 1T is due to |
his owner, Pierre Wertheimer, that |
we grant him another chance to show |
just how great a colt he owns"
Wise Counsellor was unable to start |
against Epinard in the $50, 900 spe-
cial at Latonia last Saturday, but /
