SWING JOHNSON
BILL ADOPTION

WASHINGTON, Feb. is G9-Con-

Johnson Boulder canyon dam bill,
even though all of the seven basin
states nave not ratified the Colorado
river compact, Chairman Smith of
the house irrigation committee said
in telegram today to Governor
Dern of Utah, replying TO a recent
communication from him.
with reference to your communi-
cation concerning the bill,' Smith
said, 1--WE, first, are all anxious for
the ratification of state COM
pact by all the state but although
Arizona has refused to ratify we do
not think that legislation for the
proposed improvements of the Colo
RADIO river should be longer delayed.
second, the supreme court has de-
cided that the question as to whether
q river, or q part of river is
navigable is one of fact, and the
enactment of q law stating that a
river is navigable does not change
conditions.
Third, the Swing bill authorizes an
appropriation of $25O,OOO to make a
comprehensive survey of control inn
provement and utilization of the

Movies in the Schools

When the moving pictures were first perfected
there was q great deal Of enthusiasm expressed by
educators who saw in il opportunity for quick
or. more striking method Of communicating knowl-
edge TO youthful minds through the vsuaizatiin OF
certain gtudes that would be adapted to moving
picture presentation.
But development along these lines has been very
dow indeed. Where it predicted, and with rea-
SON. that by row every school would be using the
movie method in many studies. there are compare
lively few schools where it is being used and those
few do not use IL regular course in subject
but merely upon special occasions TO illustrate GER
tain points.
Searching for a reason for this backwardness to
adopt what il obviously very practical system, we
find in the attitude Of the educators themselves
who arc divided into opposing camps, one believing
that the moving picture is desirable as regular
adjunct Of study and the other believing that the
value Of the moving picture an aid to education
IL not yet definitely established.
Meanwhile, in Rochester, n. y, large camera
and film manufacturer has inaugurated series OF
tests and a specimen course through which 1t "

Editorial Comment
Authorization in North Dakota
(St. Paul Dispatch)

tSI. raul U1spatch)
Word from North Dakota is that the antevou-
ton bill there has "died a-bornin'." When L. o.
Richardson, Nonpartisan Lacquer, arrived in Bis
marck with the bill in his pocket he found heavy
frost awaiting his measure in the first meeting OF
his fellow leaguers and, in the official organ Of the
league, a thoroughgong denuncation. 1t declares
that the Nonpartisan league organized on
platform Of economic issues and cannot take up
problems that involve medevafsm at this hour.
The measure has some supporters among the Non
partisan group, but these will likely hesitate before
identifying themselves with the movement, in view
Of this chilling blast. The independents mainly be-
cause the measure is offered by Nonpartisan, re-
fuse even to give it any thought. As an occasion
for fight the anti-evoluton bin is thus early re-
moved to permit consideration of affairs strictly
within the function Of public body and affecting
more nearly the welfare of the state Minnesota

IN NEW YORK

New York, Jan. 28.-In the color
full Hungarian cafes Of the east side,
Gypsy vi0linists still thread their
ing their fiery, romantic tunes.
But the oid-timers sigh and tell
you: Eyes, they are all very fine. All,
but not like, Rieo! In the days
Of Rigo--therc was the fellow"
And so Rigo became all but a
myth.
/ had heard Tor years tales Of
amours set to soulful songs. One
was led to believe that few women
could resist him. There was some
thing about !. the way he played;
something about the way he
looked at one when he played!
Before he came to America there
was that princess who had been the
daughter Of a Detroit millionaire and
had married royalty. She had heard
Rigo play and had fled with him.
Madly they had danced through a
a., fortune. And they had married. She
lavishcd gifts upon him, SO the tales
go. Then she left him and Rigo came
to America and married again. He
appeared on the east side. drawing to
himself an audience from every
strata Of society.
Surely he must have cast an amaz-
ing spell. For they sigh over their
coffee cups to this day. And it has
been years since he walked among
the tables playing and casting his
magical eyes about.
The other day, in the offices Of one
Of the Broadway show shops, ! over
heard II couple Of folk from the Ma
tioal Vaudeville Association talking.
"Yes-the poor fellow is just
about through" one was saying. "He

say he still wears, the bracelets
and ornaments he used to have
when he went around the cafe.
The poor fellow-his last gas
ture!"
"Ycs. poor old Rigo--!"
On Sunday evening dropped in
on one Of the cafes where some Of the
old-timers gather.
A new violinist had come in from
Budapest but few weeks before and
was making his first appearance.
He played we'll, but rather la

One Of the oidsters sighed and
informed me quietly. Eyes, they
are all very good in their way.
But there was only one Rigo. |
