Vitalistas por su parte, afirma-
ban que un cuerpo muerto y o.

diferencia entire ambos es la
existencia de una FuerZa Vital.
Esto parece muy simple a pri-

the lower basin States. The Metropol-

the first $4,000 acre feet out of the
That there will be such a surplus
Is the unanimous opinion of water
engineers. 1t will be remembered that
the upper basin States are allotted T.
500, 900 acre feet and the lower basin
States an equal amount. That the
upper basin States, however, can ever
perpetually divert from the stream for
a beneficial Use Of 1900, 900 acre feet Is
extremely doubtful. A very considerable
portion Of this water will return to the
river as return water and this has never
been taken into account in the division
Of the first water.
Arizona at the present time uses only
a small portion Of the water that Is al
lOtted to 1t. That 1t can ever use It's
full quota is doubtful, because OF the
cost of the diversion.
There is ample evidence that the
present flow of the Colorado River can
not be put to a beneficial use for half
a century or more.
The adjustment of the differences
between the Metropolitan Water Dis
trict and the Imperial Valley should
have been made many months ago
There should Never have been the

On the Upgrade.

Employment gains are reported by
President Hoover and his cabinet officers
closely concerned with labor and BUSH
ness. The statements issued by the
President and Secretaries Lamont and
Davis, asserting that conditions are
improving, give real information and
real hope for the future. Depression
and unemployment have been discussed
so widely recently. with the political ends
to be gained so much in the ascendency.
that a discussion Of the situation by
high officers of the Government, in q
position to know what they are talking
about, is both illuminating and reas-
surfing.
Within sixty days, according to these
ofiicials, the abnormal unemployment
problem, attributed in part to the stock
market crash Of last Fall, will have
largely vanished. Furthermore, with
the figures at hand they estimate that
the unemployment in this country as a
whole Is far less than 1t was during
the depressions in 1s07-s and in i920-2a

Commerce and Labor Departments and
from governors and other State ofdcials
located in every State in the Union
upon which to base their estimates.
President Hoover soon after the dis
astrous upheaval in the stock market,
which sent prices tumbling down the
ladder and threw scare into the peo-
pie generally, initiated a series of con-
ferences with leaders in all lines of
business activity and with leaders of
labor and of agriculture. Out of those
conferences came assurances that wages
would not be cut. And, according to
the report now made by the President
and his assistants, wages have not been
cut. This in itself is real victory I'M
der the conditions that have prevailed.
Furthermore, plans have been made and
are being carried through for wide
spread construction which will employ
millions of workers.
Unemployment reaches It's peak in the
Winter months under normal condi-
tons. The peak was reached this Win
ter, due in large part to the factors
which usually bring unemployment at
this period. Workers from the farms,
men who have been engaged in trans
portation. in the building trades and
in other occupations which are seasonal
to very great degree, crowd into the
cities, rendering the employment situa-
ton there still worse than it would or
dinarily be. With the coming of Spring
these employees go again to the occu-
pations which have offered them work
in the past Spring is at hand, and
the prospects for employment are bright
ening. Money is available for big
undertakings. Bonds are being issued
for public Improvements in many local.
ties. The crisis is past and this year
is expected to set record in new con-
struction.

This sad state of affairs pushes the
Funny Man to extremes.
He must say something killing, some
thing to keep up his reputation. Thai
is the way 1t seems to sufferers, any
way.

lilies which she holds in both hands
with some difficulty.

finger wagged loose from the side Of
the pot, lis the Regal lily, and this
here she wags finger on the Other
side-"is the so-called Easter lily"
The lady, one Immediately sees
knows her lilies.
But the Funny Man is not interested
in lilies. He wants to be funny.
He smiles broadly at his girl friend.

says in his best jocular manner; water
lilies and spitoonias."

while the rest of the bus longs to Kill

Perhaps every bus has a similar
