WASHINGTON, Oct. l6. UD OBJ
stacles have appeared to impede ac-

of Boulder Dam power proposed by
! Secretary Of the Interior Wilbur to
the four largest potential purchas-

night.
The formal meeting of the repre-

Meanwhile, it has become def

acceptable They met in executive
conference with him late today and
stated their position. Senators
Pittman and Oddie and Represen a

Nevada "Speaks Up
The Nevada delegation, it va e
liably learned, informed The saee&-
tary that the entire delegation 5
we'll as NeTada'5 congressional rep

At the first meeting Of the repre-
Sentatives on Monday Wilbur pre-
sented three alternative proposals,
designed he said to circumvent the
necessity Of waiting until the inter-
ested states passed laws enabling
them to contract for power. This
saving of time, he said, would make
it possible to ask congress for an
appropriation at its next regular
session.
Wilbur's three proposals enVisaged
the ALLEGATION to the Metropolitan
Water district, the City of Los An
geleS and the Southern California
Edison company of various amounts
of power, parts of which they were
to agree to release later to the
other applicants.
Wilbur Not InsiStcnt
The secretary, it is understood, Is
not adamant in his stand that these
proposals be accepted.
The Nevada delegation, composed
of George w Malone, state engi-
neer; John A. Fulton, director of the
state mining bureau, and c. W.
Creel, director of the University OF
Nevada agricultural extension bu-
reau, have taken the position the

the various interests. If the open

by the Nevada delegation, it is
known, however, will preclude ac-

they are drastically changed.

clothes are cooler than black ones, and that red clothes are warmer than any other color.
 The symbolism associated with colors is one of the most fascinat. ing aspects of the whole problem Of magic and superstition. Almost everyone knows that among most peoples white is associated with oy and black with sorrow. Among cer. tain peoples of tropical races. tho reverse is true. Red in this country means danger, but 1t is also asso- ciattd to q considerable extent with pleasure.
 The exact facts regarding the relative coolness of clothing of vari. ous coleta have not been absolutely esta bliahed. '5
 To prevent overexposure from sunlight. persons living in tropical countries or placeA where there ia much sunlight wear garments Of closely woven white fabric. This has high reectins powers and prevents then transmission of ultraviolet rays to the skin. The Bureau of stand- ards of the United States govern. mont has proved that tho ultravio. let rays pass more easily through open weave fabrics and that it makes but little difference whether the thread is of a cellulose acetate. cotton. / wool or silk. and indeed whether the color is black, white, red or green, or even a Scotch plaid.
 Internationally the average hu- man being associates the red color with warmth, and red flannel un- derwear was for many years consid cred to be the only suitable cover- ing for winter weather. Red is the most important color in medicine and in magic. because it suggests blood. Long before modern scientific medicine. medicinal plants were picked for their colors as we'll as for their properties.
 The beautiful rcd berries of the mountain ash were called St. Johns blood and associated with magical powers. Whenever a humaA being became severely sick. he became anemic. pale and white. Because Of this. the old.time magical doctors cured him by giving him red colored substances. So red wines, like port. claret and sherry. were considered to be far more emcacious for anemia than white wines.
 When the women witch doctors wanted 10 cure tumors. they tied a rcd cord or String around the neck or around the swelling. and when the old Scotch doctors came 10 treat patients with tuberculous glands of the neck. they were likely to find the neck encircled with a piece of rcd flannel.
 Whenever a person broke out with red spots. as in scarlet fever or measles, he usually put on red clothing. In the 14th century every- one who had smallpox and money was put into a room with red bed curtains and haneings. As an indi. cation fthe wholly symbolical and ma Sical nature of the custom. tho use of red hargines was common both in England and Japan and has arisen independently among both peoples.

 Home made stories. rhymes and chantA while not half 70 rood from literary point Of view. are much better for the very young child. He likes stories dealing with incidents in his own daily life. in which hA can readily see himself taking the leading rele.
 Thus tho simplest account of . little boy who got up and dressed and went down to breakfast will de. light him. Stories about such com. mon things aa farm animals, traihA automobiles. grocery stores. all are popular. The children will enjey them, especially if we take pains to use initiative sounds and many repe. titions so that they can join in the chorus each time it comes.
