1924 Show Big Gains Made
in Finished Articles

The worlds increasing dependence
on the United States for the thou
sands of articles which go to make
| its everyday life possible, is
wildly portrayed by an analysis
of American exports for 1924, made
public today by the Department OF
Commerce.
Compared to 1923 figures..-.radio
equipment, safety razor blades and
brewing machinery showed the
greatest proportionate growth in
1924; heaviest percentages losses
were reported in the export of baby
carriages, distilled spirits and
bituminous coal.
A study of the $4.590 100000 ex.
port business of 1924 discloses the
changing character of American
commerce and industry-the de-
velopment from the pre-war pro-
Queer of almost exclusively raw
materials and northumberland
goods, to the producer of the high
est type of finished article.

The All-American canal feature
Of the Boulder CANYON project is
sometimes termed local issue,
meaning thereby an issue of i'm.
portance only 10 the Imperial Val
ley. While it is Of vital importance
to that valley, il has q far wider
significance.
The United States owns at least
100000 acres of land adjacent to
Imperial Valley. This land is now
desert. II is, however. Of the same
character as the land in the valley
1t is potentially 4 second Imperial
Valley. The agricultural areas tn
butary 10 the populous coast region
are fast becoming urban. The
coast needs the development Of 4
new agricultural region such as
this would become.
Because Of the topography Of the
country. the expense Of bringing
water TO this body of public land
is too great to make feasible a pro
ject for its reclamation. when
standing by itself. The Imperial
Valley, for a variety Of very good
reasons, desires TO secure its water
supply without maintaining its main
canal long distances through MeM-
co. The Coachella Valley is badly
in need of water. 1t desires 4 sup
ply from the Colorado. An All
American Canal will serve two Y al
leys and also this land owned by
the United States An advantage
Gus opportunity for cooperative ef-
fort is thus presented.
The government has another IN
terest in an All-American canal. At
present the Imperial Valley secures
its water both for domestic use and
for irrigation from Il canal starting
at the river Il few miles above the
Mexican boundary line and thence
running some 90 miles through
Mexico before reaching the valley.
The very existence of such 4 situa-
ton Is provocative of complica-
tions, difficulties and animosities
likely to result at any time in in
ternational friction. The United
States Is, of course, interested in
preventing grounds for dispute aris-
ing. An All-American canal viii
remove q fertile field of misunder-
standing and controversy.
The United States IS interested in
still another way in seeing that the
All-American canal is built. Even
though the waters Of the Colorado
River be fully conserved, it is veTv
doubtful if there IS enough water
for the full development Of irri-
gable land i'm the United States, the
furnishing Of domestic water sup
ply to Southern California cities
and the irrigation Of some COO 900
acres Of land in Mexico not now
under irrigation. The best. most
recent studies indicate there is not.
Soon the process Of conservation IS
bound to commence. Dams will be
built. The present erratic flow Of
the Colorado viii become a steady
or regulated flow. The conserved
water VIII become available for use.
This result viii he accomplished hv
expenditures in the United States.
If this conserved water is once

THERE'S little Thyra Livingston, a

baby Except for the brace over
her shoulders no one would ever guess
that this chubby youngster has just
won hard battle with tuberculosis.
For two years Thyra lay in the Mil
waukee Children's hospital, practically
her whole body in a cast, in order that
her tuberculous spine, which already
had begun to show a curviture, might
grow straight. And straight it has
grown
Thyra's condition, which would I'M
questionably have led to hunchback
if neglected, was discovered at one of
the free chest clinics conducted In
Kenosha each week by the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association and fl
nanced by funds raised from the sale
of penny Christmas seals 1t is we'll
known to the medical profession that
crooked backs, commonly called hunch-
backs, are due to tuberculous infec.
ton In childhood, not to falls as par.
ents so often believe. Physicians
know, too, that these terrible deformi-
ties and attendant Ills could be pre-
vented if they were discovered in time.
To find such cases as Thyra's before
1t is too late is one of the activities
paid for by penny Christmas seals.

"A STIFF upper lip and a smile that
n just won't be downed are invalu-
able assets when it comes to
fighting tuberculosis. At least that
is the experience of Miss Marie Schue-
Ter of Watertown, who has come
through four-year battle against tu-
berculosis with flying colors. She is
now part-time worker and part-time
patient at Forest Lawn, the Jefferson
county tuberculosis sanatorium where
for the past year and a half she has
''taken the cure" and won the sobri-
quet OF sunshine"
-Four years ago Marie developed tu-
berculosis Of the spine. A delicate
operation was performed, in which
several vertebrae were removed and a
bone, taken from her leg, grated in
place OF the normal spine structure.
When Marie was well enough to leave
the hospital, physicians recommended
sanatorium care. In April, 1924, Marie
entered the sanatorium. She improved
steadily and last September was de-
clared to be in sufficiently good health
to become assistant in che office of the
sanatorium superintendent on a part
time basis.
Naturally, in large part because of
her own experience, Marie is a strong
booster for Christmas seals, funds
from the sale of which are used to
wage the fight against tuberculosis.
