vitality interested. The watershed of
the Colorado brings in the States of
wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico
Arizona, Nevada and California. AS
the water flows down the hills of the
so-called four upper basin States. it be-
comes OF increasing value to the So
called three lower States-Nevada, CAL
ifornla ana Arizona. The Boulder Dam
act is the first great attempt in this
federation of States to bring together
seven States as political units for the
development. control and MANAGEMENT
of the regional river in which they are
all interested. Since this Is but the
beginning Of a whole series of similar
agreements or compacts between states
which must be made If we are to wisely
advance the welfare of the citizens of
our States. 1t is of great consequence
that this particular project should sue
coed.
In the development Of many Western
settlements beyond the pioneering
stages community efforts had to be
united in order to secure water and
power. There were many sharp con-
flicts in the division of water between
different settlers. In fact, it has been
said in the West that a man would put
up a battle for water sooner than one
for his wife and family. In the neceS-
sary give and take and fair play OF
water division a communal spirit, which
has spread throughout much of the
West, has come into being. I think that
because of this there has been such a
rapid advance in certain forms of social
legislation in the Western States. In
the Boulder Dam project this communal
spirit has to spread throughout and
over much territory with widely sepa-
rated communities living under some
what different conditions. At the same
time, in order to develop the dam and
supply water, it is necessary to sell
power developed by that water falling
from a height in order to finance the
work of construction. This sale of
mower presents many difficulties in that
different methods for the distribution
of power are already in use and much
of the power must be sold directly over
a great natural gas and oil field and
directly in competition with the power
that can be developed by the gas and
oil burned under boilers to generate
steam. Unless water was the object,
it would be difficult indeed to obtain a
SUFFICIENT market for the power at the
present time to give assurance of the
return of the sums which must be adj
yanced by the Federal Government
within so years. This and many other
difficulties are apparent today. There
will be many more, but unless we can
in some practical manner handle the
rigid political units set up with square
and compass, we will make a relative
failure of the new pioneering now be-

oRists had noticed fossils In the eZpossuO
strata and because o. the dome-nEe
structure OF the hills had located this
area az a possible oil field some 20-odd
years ago. A we'll was sunk 1000 feet
under great difficulties but without re-
suit. Some months ago, with better
equipment permitting deeper drilling
and with the greatest Of persistence on
the part OF an individual engineer
named Longden, hole over mile deep
suddenly brought up enormous guam
titles OF gas and of OIL which turned out
TO be almost 90 per cent gasoline. APP
proximately one-third OF the area had
remained in the possession of the Ma
tional Government as public domain.
With the information Of the biologists
that this might prove TO be a great oil
field, applications under the leasing law
for exploration upon this public land
covered the territory completely. The
discovery well was located on public
land and was drilled under a permit,
leading to lease upon discovery. When
1 visited the field last June there were
some 20 wells being drilled on public
and other lands and lively race was
on to reach the oil sands. It was EVIL
dent that this was more Of a gasoline
or gas field than and ordinary oil field.
There was enormous waStage of gas
from the one completed well. In order
to bring this gas into use a pipe line
was constructed to San Francisco, some
265 miles away. This was laid in rec
ord time, largely due to the new method
of welding steel sheets into pipe and the
welding together of the lengths Of pipe
as they are put into the trench. But
even this pipe line costing millions could

was danger OF great waste II drilling
In this fleld was uncontrolled and that
one OF the great treasure pots OF the
Nation could be largely disSipated into
the air Efforts we're made 10 bring
ABOUT a conservation agreement between
all OF those interested so that an or
Derby program of development free from
needless waste could be matured. Grad
ually this has been brought about. Even
II there are but few producing wells at
the present time the loss of gas is enor-
nous. The State OF California has
passed gas law prohibiting the waste
OF gas and suits have been filed in the
California courts to bring about condi-
lions so that this gas may be properly
USED rather than wasted. A recent
visit 10 the field makes me feel that
there is good chance that we can
prevent great wastage in this field.
While the estimates vary, it.is probable
that there are between two and one
half billion and four billion barrels of
oil rich In gasoline and that there are
untold billions of cubic feet of natural
gas available. Poor methods of ongi-
neering and bad handling may easily
bring about loss running into billions
OF dollars in this one field alone. No one
can be sure Of the conditions under
ground. Some plan of unit operation
must be put into effect IL a good result
Is to be obtained. You can visualize
an oil pool by thinking Of buried oil
can. Each well is like nail hole. What
ever comes out OF one hole never comes
out OF another. The checkerboard sur
face determines where the holes 60 in
and where ownership lies. 1t is natural
enough that each owner should do his
best to get as much as he can from
his hole, but all are involved and only
orderly and fair methods will bring
about the greatest of returns.
Unless we can work out unit or CO.
operative plan every one will lose, in
GLIDING the Government. Again we are
testing our capacity to work together
for common object. Here we face
conservation of natural resources and
can see clearly that conservation means
wise, orderly, and controlled use free
from waste and that conservation means
productive wealth, not boarding.

A Contrast in Racial Honor Codes

How vulgar we must seem to a people in whom the
sense of honor is so keen that men disembowel them
selves on a sword In symbol of protest when they feel
that their national dignity has been bcsnnircaed. Our
callousness in a similar situation is inescapably apparent
to the world. 1t must particularly impress by contrast
such a proud people as the Japanese.
On the other hand, we Americans don't seem to be
very gifted at understanding the mental attitudes OF any
foreign people; and Of all foreigners. the oriental Jap
anesc probably arc the most imcomprehcnsible to the
Occidental American.
Take, for instance, the japanese code of honor. 1t is
a thing that is too much for us to assimilatc. Consider
the following incident, and see if you can grasp the atti-
tude that lay lack of it:
When the japanese delegation came home from the
London naval conference recently, some of the naval
officers felt that Japan hadn't done SO we'll there. To be
sure, Senator Hiram johnson of California is sure that
Japan put it all over the United States; but these trim
little Japanese sailors had other ideas about it.
One Of them was Lieut-Com. Eli Kusakiri. He was a
man of considerable prominence in Japan. He very deep
ly felt that the naval treaty was a disgrace to the Japan
csc navy. AS a devoted officer, he felt that it was up to
him to make some protest.
So, while a train was carrying him across Japan to
Toxic, Lieut. Com. Kusakiri locked himself in his com
partment, took out his sword and proceeded to commit
hara -kari-which, If you're not familiar with Japanese
customs, means that he killed himself by slashing his
abdomen.
That was the way he chose to make known his protest.
1t was strictly in accordance with the highest Japanese
tradition.
Now that Japanese tradition Of honor Is something
VIC Americans can't get at all. It's just naturally beyond
us. Did our American naval officers who disapproved of
the treaty disembowel themselves? They did not. IN
stead they went to the senate and waxed vocal about
the mistakes of their nations diplomats. That's the
American tradition.
But that Japanese tradition of honor-What a queer
thing 1t is! Under this code, a man feels that his honor
is a more important thing than his life. He trains him.
self to be ready, at any time, to give up the latter to save
the former. He would rather die than live with a blot
on his record. If he possibly can, he will order his life
SO that he will never have anything to reproach himself
for; but If he ~fails-whether it is his fault OF not-hc will
kill himself to make amends.
All Of that is almost impossible for us even to under
stand. It seems family ridiculous. But whether we un-
dcrstand 1t or not, we can at least pay tribute to the
spirit that lies back of it. Too strong a sense Of honor
is not nearly as bad as one that's too weak.

The Royal ROue Returns

Roue-mania might not be an inappropriate transfor-
nation of the name of that eastern European kingdom to
which Prince Carol, the roue of Europe. has returned to
reclaim the throne he once renowned because he priced
a faithless red-headed inamorata more than wife, moth
er, son, crown-and honor. '.'t-
But as he has come back in the leading role of a con-
spiracy that centers in a throne of one Of the minor
monarchies of Europe, we have in actual life another of
those Anthony Hope Hawkins Prisoner Of Zenda' ad-
ventures-rather scandalous, in truth-to insure the ro-
mantle world against monotony.
If there is any virtue in the return of this rot.er, it
has not yet been revealed. He is not of the calber of
man out Of whom heroes are made. He is hardly, there
fore, of the type of king suited to a state which lies as
a buffer between Russia, land of red menace, and the
western powers. His advent at Bucharest can only add to
the political anxieties Of his country and the uneasiness
Of the remainder OF Europe. Carol should have gone to
Hollywood where his royalty and his morals might have
been adapted admirably to the production of a movie
film.

MILK Is A NATURAL FOOD FOR
RARIES

If there is such a thing as a natural
food, milk, no doubt, comes under
this category, as it is the only food
distinctly provided by nature as a
food for animals. After about the
age of two, however, it is not g. COM
plete food, as it lacks iron. In babies.
this lack of iron in milk is provided
for by a large quantity Of iron being
stored In the liver and other tissues.
When mothers milk is not avail
able for the baby, the best substitute
seems to be cows milk o goats milk.
The human race has been using ami
NAL milk for about the last $4,000
years so that it has proven its value
as a useful food.
When using milk, you have your
choice. of either the raw certified
milk or the pasteurized. When raw
milk is used it should only be from
COWS that have passed a health in
spection. If there. is any doubt about
the health of the cows or the clean
illness in the handling Of the milk 1t
should be pasteurized. P~asteurized
milk does not have as much food
value as milk in the raw state be-
cause the heating which it undergoes
destroys some of the vitamins, espe-
cialy vitamin c. However. this def
cheney can be made up If, in addition
to the milk, fresh fruit juices or other
foods containing vitamin c are used.
P~asteurizing milk is no doubt the
best plan for large communities be-
cause of the necessity for so much
handling and transportation. While
paSteurzing cannot make the milk
clean, 1t does give an element of safe
ty in the use of milk so treated.
This is much more important in sum-
mer than in winter, as the heat of
the summer months encourages a
greater growth of bacteria. It has
been said that no disease epidemic
has e been traced to pasteurized
milk, but many epidemics have been
traced to raw milk which has been
produced under unclean conditions.
For this reason 1t is probably the
safest plan for the average family to
depend upon p~asteurized milk unless
they r able to buy certified inspect
ed raw milk which Is usually more
expensive.
Milk requires about the same
length Of time to digest as any other
protein. However, when mixed with
any other proteins digestion is de-
layed in the stomach. and for this
reason it is much better to use milk
alone or in combination with some of
the acid fruits. Digestion takes place
far easier If the acid fruits are COM
bined with the milk, as this combina-
ton produces small curds which the
digestive juices can penetrate more
easily.
Milk is a real food and for this rea-
son it should not be taken between
meals. One may make an entire meal
