TODAY'S PUZZLE
Report UnfOunded

1t was stated today by Bert
Carnes that the reported marriage
of his brides mother several days
ago was erroneous. The report
was that the marriage of Miss Lii
ma Morgan to Bert Carnes was de-
layed because Of inability to get in
touch with the young lady's mother
to establish facts in regard to the
present Mrs. Carnes' age, it being
further said that the prospective
brides mother was being married
at the same time. Mr.. Carnes said
today that the report was without
foundation.-from Bisbee "Ore."

The trouble with England is not
all on one side. The trouble is
with both sides. The workers, as
whole, are probably too radical
in their demands, and the coal
barons and other magnates are in
tolerant, snobbish and arrogant.
There will undoubtedly soon be a
leveling of these classes. This re-
belion of the workers is not all
about nothing. There is cause,
and it must be removed The work
ers will probably come out ahead
of the game. 1t is a process of
growth, but very crude process.

The problem of the Colorado riv-
er is too confusing and too tech
nical to be fully comprehended by
the ordinary citizen. Some of the
radicals tell us that our state is
being defrauded and robbed of her
rights. Others tell us that these
radicals are running our chances of
securing an even break with the
other states interested. There
seems to be plenty of evidence that
the last statement is true. The ur-
gent and immediate need of Arizona
is water for our arid lands and
electric power for development and
state revenue. Narrow minded
pickering and militant bigotry will
get us nowhere. We need men
with brains big enough to know
how to cooperate without getting
the worst of the deal.

situation in Turkish Armenia was de-
scribed by a telegraph operator at
Kars. ~ i',Tt
A correspondent for the Associated
Press, who has spent the past two days
in the stricken area, found conditions
comparable only to the terrible scenes
of the Smyrna fire disaster of 1928,
which he also witnessed. Snow and
bitter cold prevailing in the mountains
has driven packs of famished wolves
to the plains, where they have de-
voured the carcasses of cattle and even
human bodies caught in the ruins.
Great fissures are visible everywhere
in the mountainside, while the plains
are scared with zig-zag crevices. In
some places the whole configuration of
the earth has been changed. Great
fountains of per-heated sulphuric
water is issuing from the, earth in
many places. ~
There is still grave food shortage.
The quake has brought almost as great
afflictioh on Armenia as all the pre-
ceding years of wars, revolutions, FAM
ines, epidemics and massacres together.

DETROIT, Oct. 20 EJ-Petrolman
Frank j. Dombecky cut another
notch in his gun today when he,
shot dead one man and wounded am
other who attempted to rob Bank
of Detroit branch on the west side.
A year ago he shot and killed a
member of mob who had slain
Dombecky's partner.
Two robbers escaped during the
gun fight today. One was the driver
of the car in which the rIen had
planned to escape. The other had
entered the bank with the two who
fell before Dombecky's accurate fire.
The attempted robbery itself was
thwarted before Dombecky, who was
on other duty in the neighporhood
reached the bank. Albert Golfer,
pank guard stationed in a steel en-
closed turret above the cages, opened
fire with a shot gun, the robbers
fleeing at the first shot. Dombecky
arrived outside tie bank just as the
trio came running out. Dcmbecky
and the robbers opened fire almost
simultaneously. Dombecky's first shot
instantly killed one Of the men,
Carl Porter. 54. His second shot
struck Arnold Porter, rs, a brother,

Morton c. Tuttle, head of the con-

was two feet above water and out of

floods was concerned.
Practically the first work to be
done last fall was the building of two
coffer-damS across the east channel
of the Androscoggin from the upper
and lower points of Gulf Island and
pumping the water out of the river
bed between. Here in this space the
men have confined the major part of

the water level and safe from the

the site last October and saw nothing

quiet, lying between the banks of the

with trees and underbrush, is reve-
lation. Engineers, carpenters, cleo
tricianS, plumbers, firemen, drill
operators and craftsmen of all kinds
have transformed the territory into
malestrom of excitement. A regular
railroad, huge mechanical devices of
all kinds and descriptions, store
houses and Office buildings, bunk halls
and mess houses. Golfer dams and
power lines, dent the landscape and vie
with the rapidly rising power house
and massive dam in holding the on
lockers interest. 1t is difficult to

so change the work of nature in that
