IRRIGATION HEADS
MAY BRING NEXT
MEETING HERE
Secretary of Association
Praises Condition of LO-
cal District.

''The next meeting of the Cali
fornia Irrigation Districts associa-
ton may be held in FL Centre in
May" declared w. d. Wagner, see
rotary of the association, during an
interview this morning. ~ believe
that it would prove a good thing for
the valley and | am sure the asso-
citation would benefit by holding
the next official gathering in its
largest irrigation district. The
meeting would call for the presence
of some 200 officials Of the .vari
Gus districts here.''
Secretary Wagner arrived in FL
Centre yesterday afternoon and has
made a tour of inspection through
cut the Imperial district. The see
rotary has just completed trip
which included visits to all of the
irrigation districts in the northern
part of the state and from here he
will go to Coachella Valley and
thence to the Palo Verde district.
"The Imperial Irrigat ion district
is in fine condition. he declared
this morning. "This district is of
course the largest in the state and
supplies some $4,000 acres with
water. The magnitude of the dis
trict can be determined when one
realizes that the Lakeside district,
the smallest under our jurisdiction
contains but 332 acres of land.
There are 90 irrigation districts in
the state
Asked what he thought of the
Boulder Dam project and what bear
ing it would have on the irrigation
systems here he replied:
"Of course you know we are for
Boulder Dam. The irrigation asso-
citation is formed for the purpose of
ironing out the difficulties encount-
cred by the respective districts and
any help we can give any of the
districts we will gladly furnish.
The Boulder Dam project will defin-
itely effect only the Palo Verde and
Imperial Districts but the associa-
ton is especially interested because
these two are the largest in the as
ISOLATION and the other districts will
lend every aid possible to assist in
bringing about the passage of the
measure
"Of course there are always diff
fieulties encountered in a project as
large as the Imperial system and 1T
is Just these problems that we seek
to straighten out. The Imperial dis
trict, however. at this time seems to
be extra ordinarily free of such en-
tanglements and is working under
well organized leadership. The CO.
operation between its various offices
seems to be of the best.
Secretary Wagner left the city
shortly before noon for Coachella
Valley. He held a short conference
with G.. l.. Childers, attorney for
the district, and Congressman Phil
Swing before leaving this morning,
the men discussing various phases
of the proposed Boulder Dam pro-
iect.

Better Weather
Reports Desired

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Ship-
ping interests have asked the in
tcrnational radio conference here to
arrange for better oceanic weather
reports and more of them. A spe
cial committee on the conference
today was considering the proposal.
Pointing out that marine weather
reports now are inadequate,
spasmodic and generally too indie
finite to safeguard life ON the sew
en- seas, the ship men want some
what the same service as is given
farmers.
They requested the radio con-
ferees to make weather reports from
vessels at sea obligatory and a mat
ter of routine. They proposed such
information be assembled at central
points of clearance to be distribut-
ed in synopsis form to the mari
time world.
Special radio channels for this
service are sought and an attempt
is under way to give such reports
priority over practically every
thing except distress calls and mes

Statement Is Frank

People were looking forward to a
day when the pope would emerge
from the vatican and end the volun-
tary Imprisonment to which he and
all preceding popes have subjected
themselves since 1870 when Italy
assumed sovereignty over vatican
territory.
Then came the Fascist manifesto
Ii was a frank announcement that
Fascism could not contemplate res
tOration of temporal power and tina
if necessary the "New Italy, re-
g;me could wait a hundred years TO
attain a satisfactory solution.
No one doubted here that the
manifesto meant a direct, though
yelled clash between two great
world personages.
Substantiation Of the general be-
lief was seen in the frigid reception
cf the manifesto in vatican circles
today.
1t was not concealed that the vat
lean authorities had expected some
concession to temporal power. They
would have been satisfied with what
after all would have been regarded
as nominal sovereignty over the
small vatican domains.

MUSS0LINI NOT
AGREEABLE TO
P0PE'S WISHES
Manifesto Refuses to Re-
store Temporal Powers
To Vatican.
By THOMAS 3. MORGAN
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

ROME, Oct. 21.-Benito Mussoli-
nj, out-spoken Fascist leader and
real ruler of Italy, after defying
statesmen and kings with whom he
disagreed, has clashd with the pope,
it was believed generally here to-
day.
70 Mussolini was attributed a Fas-
est party manifesto which declared
franglv the New Italy, would
ret grant the pope sovereignty over
the vatican territory in Rome.
To the pope was attributed re
sponsibility for articles in the Os-
servatore Romano, official vatican
newspaper, which caused the mani
fcsto. The articles limited that the
pope would be satisfied if given alb
solute control over the small Roman
area covered by the vatican grounds.
Only "a hours ago it was thought
here that the Italian government
Mussolini- and the vatican the
pope-were nearer solution of the
delicate question of papal temporal
power.

step TOWARD end
Washington Sees Peace Deli
nitely Nearer

Washington. July ~ R - The
American government feels that
the clash Of marines with the forces
of General SANDING at Ocotal, Mica
ragua Is = step towards the restora-
ton Of peace in the Central Ameri-
can republic.
This was the reply Of Secretary
Of State Kellogg to protests voiced
at the fifth pan-American congress

the Nacaraguan general.
The Ocotal battle formed the out
standing topic Of discussion at the
congress opening session yesterday
and the Nicaraguan delegate. Salo-
mon De La Selva, attempted to
place the organization on record az
opposing the presence OF marines
in his country and deploring the
killing Of Sandino's men.
SANDING and his force were de-
scribed by the secretary as merely
outlaws and resorting to banditry"
and the general, formerly 4 liberal
military leader under General Mon
cada. was said by Mr.. Kellogg not
to have the support Of either of
the Nicaraguan political parties"
Mr.. Kellogg addressed his reply to
President William Green of the
American Federation OF Labor, who
had received nrotestS from the
Nicaraguan delegates to the con-
gress against the use of marines
against SANDING.
Although President Green IN

COLLEGE COURSES ARE
DISCUSSED BY MEETING
There Is Need for OricntatiOn for
Freshmen, According to
Speakers Opinion.

Chicago, July 10 UP)-There is
necessity for orientation courses for
, freshmen entering our modern uni
versities and colleges. President
Walter G. Clippinger of Otterbein
college told college presidents and
professors today.
He spoke before the meeting of
administrative officers of institutions
of higher learning.
He prefaced his remarks with
statistics showing a great numbe,
of students who enter college never
get through the four year course.
, He pointed out that OF the enter
ing class OF 100 at the University
Of MINNESOTA in 1920. So per cent
had left the university by the fourth
year.
The freshman is more suscepti-
later in his life. He is eager for
some new things in life" DR.. Clip
pinger said. There is an oppor-
tunity to fire in him passion for
hard work and earnest endeavor
and to set before him the objec-
tives of the college course itself.
The freshman needs adjustment to
his immediate surroundings and to
his future life"
He said universities could not
ignore the weaklings who apply for
admission.
ut might not be amiss to estab-
lish an institution of learning for
the castaways of the present stan
dard colleges and universities, he
said.
