Peter had sat down in front Of her

SAMMY had speedily discovered Peter

Already outsiders have appealed
over the heads of the principal con-

dive In Toledo, Ohio, is reported a
victim of the flu. Authorities are
faced with the probable necessity
rf closing the schools to check the
epidemic.
The same condition is reported
from widespread sections Of the
country. The epidemic. although
miIder than that which raVaged the
country during the world war, has
attacked the student bodies of a
number of universities and colleges,
forcing a temporary closing Of the
schools.

closed to check the epidemic are

The epidemic RACES with greater
or lesser degree throughout the
Dakotas, in Kansas, Nebraska,
Oklahoma, and South into Texas.
Speaking of the epidemic, DR..
Kegel said:
''It seems to have started in the
West and is sweeping Eastward.
Fortunately the cases are milder

shown by a smaller proportion of
deaths.

ernment to act. Every member on
the Senate comedies the duty OF thu
Government to protect its citizenry
against danger from floods upon
interstate streams.
Urges Compact
Bratton made 4 strong plea for
ratification of the Colorado River
compact. to which Arizona refused
to adhere. Through the Ncompact
the rights Of all OF the seven
states Of the Colorado River basin
viii be safeguarded as to the use
Of waters Of the Colorado. he
Taking Issue with Senators A.
hurst and Hayden. of Arizona
who are leading the opposition ~
Boulder Dam, that nothing be done
until all States ratify the compact,
Bratton said:
II think the bill should provide
that nothing be- done until all
seven States have ratified. pro-
vided that is done within q reason
able time. / suggest one year as
a reasonable time, and that there
after the dam should be constructed
and the other provisions effectuated
as and when six States have
ratified.
"T think. however, that If we pro-
ceed on q six-State ratification basis,
California should be required to pre-
scribe in her act OF ratification that
she irrevocably disclaims any and
all interest in and to the water Of
the river in excess Of prescribed
amount to be fixed at some figure
between 100000 and 100000 acre
feet per annum.
Fair to All States
This will give California the Just
and fair share of the water to which
she is rightly due and also project
the other States against any en-
croachment or diminution of their
heritage"
Bratton declared the great project
can be built safely and that the cost
can be paid for by the sale OF power
in 25 years.
'It is nv personal belief that the
Government shall construct and OPP
crate the power plant and give to the
States and subdivisions thereof pref
erence rights to purchase the power
directly from the Government at the
to any intervening agency" said
Bratton.
This would not be putting the
Government in business in the ordi-
nary and accepted sense OF the
term.
But / construe the message or
the President delivered last week
to mean that such a measure would
not meet with his approval. Also,
according to the declaration OF the
President-elect, he too would look
with disfavor upon such plan.
'"rhis simply means that no
law can be enacted during the next
several years which fails to en-
brace an alternative plan, that is,
one for Government operation and
the other by private interests un-
der lease or contract, leaving the
execise OF the alternative to the
Secretary of the Interior. The pre-

ANTI-NAR PACT
DEFENDED

The mu1tilatera1 anti.war treaty
was a step nearer approval by the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee today following the second ap-
pearance of Secretary OF State
Frank B. Kellogg, its author.
Kellogg allayed some apprehen'
sion over the effect of the treaty
by declaring 1t did not involve
recognition Of Russia and would
not involve the Monroe Doctrine.
