lated from the stand previously
taken, which in itself was a rever-
sal of their entire stand to date.
Secondly, in even discussing the
rights Of Arizona to a just divf-
sion of waters they have acknow-
lodged that such right belongs
to Arizona. Third, in the con-
sideration of the amount Of tax
demanded by Arizona and the
amount of tax the city of Los An
geles claims they can pay, the
committee has virtually acknowled-
ged the right of Arizona to tax
the power developed from the
Colorado in this state, even though
they have questioned that right in
the discussion.
President Coolidge in his mes
sage to congress, in spite of the
attitude which the administration
has taken with respect to the
Boulder canyon dam, made no ref
erence to that project, but he did
nearly espouse the principles upon
which Arizona has stood in trying
to effect an agreement on the
Colorado river.
When the president said, Water
is the irreplaceable natural re-
source" and further on STATED "Its
storage on the higher reaches of
fstreams to meet growing needs, to
be used repeatedly as it flows to-
ward the seas, is g practical and a
prudent business policy he was
sounding the very principles for
which Arizona has been fighting.
The California and Nevada com
mittees, like the president, though
they have been working in the op-
posite direction for the past three
years, in this conference have been
forced for the first time to accept
the Arizona principles. They
have clouded it with the discussion
of details, it is true. Because
they have centered on details, moth
ing may come of the meeting. II
they would, without any attempt
at stategy, try to agree upon prin-
ciples, namely the right of water
and the right to tax power, the
details would become economic
problems that would be solved in a
scientific way. California and
Nevada have in a roundabout way
made these admissions. This CON
ference may fail because they will
not openly concede them now, but
| the next conference is the more
likely to be successful. Consid-
ering past events that is almost
victory.

Note the two variations OF this
name (which. by the way. are not

the development Of a personal char.
acteristic. and you have the stage all
set to draw a false conclusion.
1t doesn't mean what you are
thinking of. At least it did not mean
that in the middle ages, in tho period
when family names were in the
process Of formation, taking their
origin from surnames which, In one
way or another, were descriptive OF
the particular person.
It wasn't that the English of the
middle ages would have hesitated to
refer to a neighbor as "Geoffrey the
Freak" II he impressed them that
way. Their sense of delicacy in such
matters was not nearly so highly de-
veloped as ours today. taking us as
a whole. But the word simply didn't
happen to mean freak" What 1t
did mean was courageous" More
than this. "'Freke" was an adjective
used to denote that a. man was cour.
ageous to the point of desperate. un.
thinking foolhardiness. 1t is no won.

gravitated in it's spelling away from

WINTER
BY d. C. PEATTIE.
Ascent of Sap.

This Is probably the last week OF
Winter. yet Winter is still actually
with us until the first flower blooms
The trees, however. and above all the
NAPLES, have been behaving as though
it were Spring. For they have been
forming their flower buds, now close
to bursting, and that means that sap
has been ascending.
Can anybody tell what makes sap
rise in trees? This is such an ordi
nary phenomenon that people never
stop to ask how it happens. We
know why water flows from a tap even
on top Of high hill; pressure pump
is forcing it up. But where Is the
trees pump engine? The annual as
cent of sap is just as difficult to ex-
plain as it would be to explain how
a thing should fall upward instead OF
down.
People have suggested that sap
rises in the stems by capillarfty; that
is, by the process we observe in blot
ting paper drawing up ink. But the
laws of physics do not admit that
trees 100 feet high. Other theories,
like osmotic pressure and traction.
with difficult names and still more
dif1lcult explanations. have been sug-
gested, but there Is an objection to
every one Of them. 1t Is one Of the
many and unsolved puzzles Of plant
science.
Furthermore. why does sap rise
when 1t does? Long before there
are any pleasant days, long before
anything even resembling Spring. the
sap, as If set of by clockwork. begins
to rise. 1t is true that we know that
heat increases the flow Of sap and
cold retards it, but that explanation
seems only part Of the truth.

That YOU are capable of doing just as

low? In other words, you lack con-
fsdence in yourself. You fear some
one will think you egotistfcal or Tor
ward. and you shrink from publicity
or notoriety.
The world has a. way OF accepting
us at lust our own valuation. we
should, therefore. place q high vaiu-
alton on ourselves. Average selr-
esteem, with f1rmness and consclen-
tiousness. lend great dignity TO the
character.
Ralanced self.esteem is of infinite
service to man and teaches him to
nrotect. uphold and respect himself,
hecause it causes him to follow q
Course Of conduct that will win tho
respect and confidence of others. Self
confidence will lead one to push him
self to many places of importance,
social. commercial and governmental.
Those with short upper lips and q
depressed region directly outward

crowded away from the higher posi-

death came and brought release from
this endless finger work.
So, perhaps it is not very surpris-
ing that we who have MY recently
been released from this compulsory
finger work--not this time by death
but by innumerable man.made ma
chines--should have a lingering de-
sire to do something with our fingers
OR at least to hold something in
them. Perhaps that is why some
women like to smoke cigarettes.
Other women must have fans. and
really it is for this reason that women
carry fans, far more than because
the fans may be used to supply a
breeze.
Seemingly, the fad for fans is not
waning. Last Winter several prcm1.
nent actresses carried gorgeous snd
enormous fans. Sometimes they were
called wonder fans. and one of them,
made Of lovely ostrich feathers, If
said to have cost $500. Following the
example of the stage, a number Of
women of social prominence adopted
