the present, and for a long time, we hope, they are gone. engulfed
in the wave of femininity that has made 1880 a real year of
grace. Knees are leading a retired life these days and evenings,
for all they have to do now is to mark the spot where the skirt
begins to flare into the most intriguing founce. Soft skirts,
layers Of diaphanous tule, deep berthas Of cobwebby lace,

With the soft alluring clothes of to-day has come a matching

Mexico and Our Water Supply

Good relations with Mexico are Of extreme import
ance to the Valley just now.
The immediate reason is that a water treaty guar
anteeing the Valleys supply is being negotiated.
The general reason is, Of course. that We want to
live on friendly relations with our neighbors.
When the Valley is faced with this situation, con-
Eressmen from our own state are doing everything
they can to pass legislation which will hurt US.
About so per cent Of the water which comes down
the Rio Grande in the Valley comes from streams in
Mexico. Mexico could take all this water before it
reaches the Rio Grande, and nothing could be said.
she is now building dams to carry out part of that
possibility.
This might hurt the Valley under present condi-
lions.
Still there IS no reason for alarm on the water
situation, If friendly relations can be kept with Mexi-
co. so that storage dams can be built.
We are told by engineers that the annual flow
Of the Rio Grande Is around 5.dOOO0 a~cre-feet. Less
than 1000 600 ~acre-feet is now used in irrigation
along the river, and much Of this is wasted in faulty
irrigation works.
There is plenty Of water for all, If storage dams
are built to conserve the water.
Negotiations have been in progress for some time
20 reach a water treaty with Mexico SO that such
dams can be built.
Everything that tends 10 disrupt friendly rela-
lions with Mexico hurts our chance for such a treaty.
The Box bill. the Johnson bill, Mexicans Illegally
deported-aIl such unwise and u~nfriendly actions
will hurt the Valley in its chance 70 secure its water
guarantees.
We claim the normal flow Of the Rio Grande as
ours by right Of prior beneficial use. If our govern
ment follows a reasonable course. It seems certain
these rights will be guaranteed to us.
But we should remember and should impress the
fact on our congressman from North Texas. that
Mexico has the power to take the water, since II
originates in her country, and that she IS fast pre-
pairing to do so.

Star Lore
THE BIRTH OF A STAR
BY Arthur Dew. Carpente

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
II would be wonderful 10 be able
TO trace the actual beginning Of a
star. The astronomer and scientist
can quite effectively go back IN his
intelligent imagination and behold
the time when there was a very thin
gas distributed through space. This
infinitely vast cloud doubtless broke
up and formed galaxies of spiral
nebulae. and finally each spiral
nebulae condensed into stars. At
first a star must have been of so
thin a composition that TO be COM
pared with anything material Of
which we know, it would be the
equivalent of a neal vacuum. Then
by process covering untold ages. IL
