COLORADO DAM SHOULD BE EXPEDITED The Bonlder Canyon dam is a step nearer to consideration by Congress, in definite form and with concrete purpose. Secretary of the Interior Work, after delay which irritated friends and proponents of the dam project, finally has reported to Congress with reference to the Swing-Johnson measure, pending before the national legislators. Secretary Work makes no recommendation, except the broad general one that the national government should treat the Colorado River as a "local menace" and should determine at once a definite plan for its control and conversion into a national asset. It is to be hoped that Arizona soon may ratify the compact which has been acted upon favorably by the six other states lying in the Colorado River Basin. This non-action by Arizona is a handicap to those who are pressing the Boulder Dam project before Congress. With the seven states of the Colorado Basin working in unison for the Boulder Dam, Congress would have no loophole through which to escape the insistence that favorable action be taken without delay.

FRIDAY Children of the Heavenly Father Read Mt. 18:1-14. Text: 18:3. Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. "Children ask their parents for many things that they do not get, and they get many things that they do not ask for. This does not warrant their concluding that it is useless ever to ask. Some things they get only when and because they ask. And they always have their parents' love, however much they may be wisely left to learn some things by painful experience. Prayer is no device for eliminating the necessity of learning some things by experience in living." MEDITATION: The supreme quality of child life is its response to affection. Through affection the life of a human father comes in touch with the life of his child. However little the child may know of the perplexities' of the father's business and however much the child may be at a loss in his father's factory or office, when they come together in the realm of affection each understands the other DINNER STORY "Now, look here, Mr. This won't do!

Orange-co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter A Little Talk on Thrift By S. W. STRAUS (President American Society of Thrift) One of the important factors in the development of our country—one of the best indices of national progress—is the amount of improved highway construction now taking place. Just as the development of the nation's steam transportation lines a few generations ago marked the beginning of a new era in the progress of our people, so the present period of highway improvement is bringing about rapidly improving conditions. According to figures that have been compiled by the Bureau of Public Roads and the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce we are adding 35,000 miles of improved highway to our system each year and now have substantially 400,000 miles of roadways of this type. In 1904 we had 153,000 miles of rural highways improved with some type of servicing, so that in the last two decades about 250,000 miles have been added or enough to circle the globe ten times. These figures, of course, do not represent the total mileage of improved and unimproved rural roadways in the United States which on January 1, 1922, was 2,941,294, a gain of 789,000 miles since 1904. This amazing development of highways has in many ways revolutionized modern life. Thousands of persons who formerly spent their lives in the great cities are now getting out into the country where their appreciation of this great land is made more comprehensive and where they are able to cultivate gardens and secure the many benefits of semi-rural existence. The former isolation ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT MARCEL'S MAXIMS If you think that you are wonderful, realize that there is much more in others; perhaps this may help you act with humility. The humble enjoy peace, but they do not get the orders. Get the habit of living in obedience. Your superior is a "simp," but you are better under him than at your own disposing. You are wise and know all things. It is safer to obey than to be responsible for the next step. Get into a big corporation and die unknown, but who wants to be known?—Marcel Steinbrugge. Archery is coming into vogue at the Florida resorts. This sport has been kept alive for several hundred years almost exclusively by Cupid, who, by the way has made some very punk shots. POEMS THAT LIVE TONIGHT I love thee, mournful, sober-suited Night! When the faint moon, yet lingering in her wane, And veil'd in clouds, with pale uncertain light, Hangs o'er the waters of the restless main. In deep depression sunk, the enfeebled mind Will to the deaf cold elements complain, And tell the embosom'd grief, however vain, To sullen surges and the view- less wind. Tho' no repose on thy dark breast I find, I still enjoy thee—cheerless as thou art; For in thy quiet gloom the exhausted heart Is calm, though wretched; hopeless, yet resigned. While to the winds and waves its sorrows given, May reach—though lost on earth—the ear of Heaven! —Charlotte Smith. They are talking of giving Ellis Island immigrants mathematical tests. Well, they certainly are able to multiply now. INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION MOOSE HALL—135 W. CENTER ST. FREE BIBLE LECTURE By F. C.
