Reasons for Keystone Nickname

The nickname keystone" usedfor
Pennsylvania, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer, is of doubtful origin, but
the theory given most credence is
that il was so named because Of
its central position among the states
at the time of the adoption of the
Federal Constitution. Other. theories
advanced are that the name is de-
rived from the arch of a bridge
across the Rock creek between
Georgetown and Washington, D. c.,
which contained Is stones named for
the Is original states. The keystone
was marked with the letters PA"
A drawing on display at the Ameri-
can Philosophical society, which
was given to this country by France
in 1874, represents the l3 American
states in the form of a stone arch
with Pennsylvania in the keystone
position. Another suggestion is that
Pennsylvania was the last colony to
vote for the Declaration of indie
pendence completing thus the "Axch
of Liberty"

Settlers Seek
Sagebrush Soil
Western Irrigation Project
To Welcome Hundreds
Of Home Seekers.

YAKIMA, WASH.-A year from
It's summer hundreds of soil-hungry
settlers will be establishing them
selves or small tracts of central
Washington's Roza irrigation prof.
ects, preparing to make living
from ground that for decades bris-
tied with sagebrush.
They'll be moving in and erecting
cabins even before water is avail
able to turn their land into produc-
tive state, but the chief construction
engineer of the project, c. E. Crown
over, said that is just what the U. S.
reclamation bureau prefers.
Water probably will not be avail
able for the arid lands until the
spring of 1941, Crownover said.
However, the settlers can take up
their tracts several months earlier
and begin clearing them and build
ing numerous ditch networks needed
on each farm.
Early Arrival Favored.
Its easy to see that this work
must be done before the land will
be fitted for irrigation waters"
Crownover said. 1.-THE job will take
time and there's no reason why the
settlers can't do it before water
from the main canal is available to
them"
Virtually all the difficult parts of
the SIS ,000, 900 project-Started in
1935-have been completed or are
under construction. When the unit
is finished. it will complement the
Yakima valley project, one of the
largest reclamation sections in the
world.
When all gravity-fow and pump
lands are connected to the Roza sys-
tenn, a total of $4,000 acres will be
irrigated, providing farms for 1900
families if the tracts were set aside
40 acres to the settler.
The Roza is in addition to the
Teton, Sunnyside and Kittitas divi-
sions of the Yakima valley project.
The Roza's main canal will be
completed to mile As with money
now in the hands of the reclama-
ton bureau These funds also will
finish the main diversion dam, now
under construction at cost of $685.
600. and four spiliways.
Ditch to Run 100 Miles.
The largest artery of the system
will stretch 100 miles when it is COM
pleted.
The lateral ditchworks will be
built next summer. This may be
done on small contracts or, to save
money, the government may decide
to put the Civilian Conservation
corps on part Of the job. But in
dications are that local contractors
will get the work
Those who want to settle on the
reclaimed lands need not fear spec
ulation, for the reclamation bureau
through J. S. Moore, superinten-
dent of the Yakima valley project
has begun to crack down on any
landowners showing such an inelina-
ton.
Moore has sent notices to so large
holders directing them to sell all
but 100 acres before water becomes
available The superintendent also
has warned owners that if any land
is sold above its appraised value,
half of the excess will go to the
projects cost.

300, 900 Dancers, Actors,
Singers in Soviet Army

MOSCOw.-Over 300, 900 members
of the Soviet army are trained as
dancers, musicians, singers, ac-
tors, and poets.
Every unit in the army and every
warship in the navy has its choirs,
orchestra and dramatic groups.
One of the soloists in the Moscow
Grand Theater of Opera and Ballet,
Vassilii Drovyannikov. is former
member of the Red army, where he
received his original training in his
art.
The arts hold prominent place
in the life of the Soviet soldiers and
sailors. In the daytime they spend
their time in fields, at airdromes, in
classrooms or on shooting ranges;
in the evening they amuse them
selves giving performances or
watching the performances of
others.
