BOULDER BILL TO co
IF STATES AGREE
Central West Will Assist
Southwest in Boulder Dam
Legislation If States Agree
on Program.

Congressman Shallenberger of
Nebraska, who recently visited the
Boulder Canyon dam~ site is en-
direly converted to the great pro-
ject according to announcements
made by him after his visit.
Congressman Shallenberger was
formerly governor of Nebraska and
is a Democrat. His declaration is
received with much satisfaction
by the supporters of the Boulder
Dam bill.
"The control of the Colorado
River is a great problem. said
Mr. ShalleHberger, equal in mag
nitude to the building of the Pana-
ma Canal, and therefore is prop
erly a function of the national
government. No one knows how
much Ut will cost, or what tine
result will be, as in the case OF
the canal, therefore the project
should be shouldered by the Fed
eral authorities. While the vari.
GUS States have their rights, the
stream is interstate, and the Fed
eral government should have con-
troll. suggest a Federal com
mission.
Among the arguments advanc-
ed against control of the river ds
that the competition Of additional
irrigated lands In the Southwest
will affect the remainder Of the
country. We of the Central West
do not fear this condition, as the
crops of the two regions are dis.
similar In fact, we support any
plan to increase the wealth Of the
Southwest, believing that our des
.tin&es are linked with yours"

NEW YORK, Aug. IL. This
purely feminine woman as opposed
to the successful feminist has a
champion in Princess Alexandra
Krapotkin, who believes economi =;
success brings sadness rather than
joy because with its attainment
she loses her natural attributes.
Nine out of 10 Independent,
minated women are dissatisfied,
she declares in the Red Book
Magazine. Every successful wom-
an is faced thousand times In
her business career with the choice
between asserting herself as an
efficient worker. and the trick
of being purely feminine.
"It is every woman's instinct to
hope for mate some day, II not
to look for him. The ability TO
protect herself makes 1t a thou.
sand times more difficult for her
to find that mate
If she were treated AS a woman
pure and simple. the Princess be
lIeyes her feminine pride would
be restored to many a womaa
reaching towards success and
fame.
