ANOTHER STEP TAKEN

Governor Young's action yesterday in signing the
Dill creating permanent Colorado river commission,
another step in the that must eventually
result IN the passage of the Swingohnson bill for the
control Of the Colorado
In past years. those working at Washington in be-
nall OF the BILL have been greatly handicapped by the
apathy displayed officially by the state of California
Otner states concerned in the Colorado river problem
had official delegations at the national capital au
thorlzed to speak for them California the state most
concerned with the development of the Colorado, had
no such representatives.
primarily, the duty of the commission will be
totreat and negotiate with the other states in the Col
orado basin 1t will also be required to protect CAL
lfornias rights in all matters pertaining to the Col
orado.
There is much to be accomplished before Congress
ls=convened in December when another attempt is to
be made to obtain passage of the Swing-J johnson bill
Appointment of the states commission is of these
matters, and Governor Young, whose good work in
behalf of the bill is common knowledge, be de-
pended upon to make the appointments without de-
lay and to appoint who will leave nothing
done to promote peace and harmony among the basin
states and lend every aid to the passage of the BILL

FARM BOOKKEEPING

Illinois farmers under the guidance of the state
agricultural college, have been doing farm bookkeep
ing for II years Interest in the work has been grow
ing so general that farm accounting has now been
introduced in many public schools in the state right
essential.
The material used in this special is prepared
by the University of Illinois and is sold to pupils and
teachers at printing cost
Certainly farming is sufficiently important and
businesslke enterprise to this sort of atten
ton. Farmers who keep books their years work
and profits losses in good position recog-
nize their own needs and problems and also to find
their solution If sthey learn in the p bl ic
schools how to do this right they have something only
second in important to agricultural skill for achieving
success

BUSINESS BEATS
EASTERN, So

Eastern's hopes Of figuring in the
scholastic championship has gone
up in smoke. Business High, a
team which had failed to grind out
a victory in any previous tilt,
stepped down in a curcial game and
defeated Eastern, 3 to s.
The victory for the Stenographers
enabled them to close their diamond
season without a whitewash. It also
gave Tech clear title for champ
ionship honors, providing Eastern
does not play off q forfeited game
with Western which is pending.
In that case, q victory for
Western, will give the latter
life. It would tie Tech for top
honors. In all probability West
ern will insist that the game be
played off.
While Business was counting
runs, their sta, Charlie May, fat.

The end Is yet far in the matter
Of smashing field and track records.
IL John D. o'ReilIy, Of Georgetown
University, is correct. The famous
old track coach seldom is wrong.
o'Reilly was among those who
marvelled when sabin Carr, OF
Yale. pole vaulted IA feet for a
world record in the recent inter
collegiate championships.
But O'Reilly is among the first
who can speak with authority who
declares that Carr's remarkable
leap win not remain long among
the list Of world records. The Sill.

things since the intercollegiates.
He found several crumbs of food for
thought.
One Of these had to do with

ing Of O'ReiIly. But he did
something In the intercollegiate
meet that surprised not only
O'Reilly but himself. He threw
Q javelin close to 200 feet. II
was thought that MorOney
would do well il he got past
the 100 mark.
He made a completely accidental
discovery that raised him within q
few minutes from a mediocre per.
former with the javelin to a star.
As he was about to make a toss
the stick slipped the merest trifle
in his hand. This brought the
javelin lower into the crotch Of his
thumb and forefinger and tilted
the point a little higher. The result
was a longer throw than Moroney
had ever made. He tried the new
hold again, with even better re.
suits.
Then he made the longest throw
ever recorded in the Intercollegiate.
This was in the qualifying test.
The record wasn't allowed because
OF the wind. But the next day, In
the finals. he got second place with
approximately the same distance.

OF course, the Pirates are due for
