The Heroic Age

Our birdmen have been gaining
some wondrous victories, as they go
blithely planning above the sundry
saas; no sooner has one landed than
other ones take flight, and laurels are
demanded for heroes day and night.
They've simply knocked the wadding
from records old and new, and we
have been applauding as every man
came through. Oh, we have been
a.trooping to welcome flyers home,
and we have been kerwhooping until
we rocked the dome, and while the
land rejoices, with its eSultant hosts,
we've heard no blatant voices pro.
claiming vulgar boasts. Good sports.
manship is reigning on these, our ma.
tive shores, and voters are diSdainine
the bra rs that make men boreS. Once
we were prone TO boasting of every
win we made, and all the world was
roasting the taste we thus displayed
"Behold our eagle screaming" we'd
shout across the foam; while you old
lands are dreaming we bring the
bacon home We've beaten you at
checkers and exc at basket ball; we
are the tireleSS WreCkers Of records
large and small. We always have the
Doodle to back our every play, and
we'll sing Yankee Doodle forever and
a day." But now we're not insisting
that we have cornered flight: were
voting and were visiting that others
are all right No raucous voice i:
yelling the old. accustomed blag that
all great things are dwelling beneath
the starry flag. WALT MASON.

SEVEN STATES JOIN
IN "PEACE FARLEY"
Ratification of Colorado River
Compact Sought at Den
yer Sessions.


DENVER. Colo, August 20.-Mecca
of approximately so official and unoffi-
cial representatives of seven Western
States intent upon developing the Colo.
RADIO River for flood control, irrigation
and power purposes, Denver yesterday
was the scene of a peace parley be-
tween Arizona and California, parties
to controversy of years standing.
The peace maneuvers, involving the
ALLEGATION of water among the three
low basin States-AriZona, Cali
fornia and Nevada-and royalties from
power developed by a dam resting on
Arizona and Nevada soil. preceded by
three days a seven-State conference
called by the governors of the four
upper basin States. Wyoming, New
Mexico, Utah and Colorado.
1t was generally believed that the
success of the latter conference de-
pended largely on the settling of the
dispute between Arizona and Cali
fornia today. The ultimate aim of
the conferences is ratification of the
seven-State compact drawn at Santa
F'e, N. Mex, in 1929, apportioning the
rivers flow between the upper and
lower basins, arbitrarily so designated
in the instrument.
