DAM PROJECT PRESSES FOR THE COLORADO The proposed dam in the Colorado River, at or near Boulder Canyon, is to receive attention at this session of Congress. Congressman Fredericks, of Los Angeles, has introduced a measure providing for the construction of a dam at or near Boulder Canyon. This is to be primarily for flood control. But the bill contains a clause that the dam shall be so located and so constructed that a superstructure for power purposes may be added to the flood-control structure by the government or by a corporation or other organization designated by the government, if desired, to operate such a plant. Besides this, there is pending the Swing-Johnson measure which provides for a dam at Boulder Canyon and for an All-American canal. Many interested persons are in Washington to attend the hearings to be held before committees of Congress and to lend their influence for the enactment of legislation to start the great project. President Coolidge is in sympathy with flood control in the Colorado. Herbert C. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, is an enthusiastic tdvocate of the dam. Six of the seven states of the Colorado basin have entered into the compact for development of the dam project and distribution of power and water. Arizona is expected to join ere long. It is hoped to get the great undertaking under way. It will require many years to build the dam. HTence the solicitude and the strenuous efforts to get the work started.

Some say "Lead us not into temptation" in the Lord's prayer, and then go right out to seek temptation. PLAN AIR MAMMOTH FOR COMMERCE Plans for a gigantic dirigible are being made by American naval experts. It is proposed to construct a huge airship 785 feet long with a capacity of 6,000,000 cubic feet and with cruising radius of 7150 nautical miles. This great craft would make the "Los Angeles" and the "Shenandoah" look like pigmies. And it would be larger than the two mastodonic airships ordered by the British government for commercial use between Australia and England. Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the Navy Air Service, told a committee of Congress that an airship of this vast size, making eighty trips across the Atlantic would show an estimated profit of more than $4,800,000 annually. The cost of building one such airship would be about $6,000,000, although if four were built at the same time, the cost would be cut down. An aerial vessel of this type would be capable of carrying a sheer cargo of twenty-two tons. Development of the dirigible for commercial purposes is sure to come, sooner or later. Whether or not the present is too soon for big development along this line remains to be demonstrated. The great cost of dirigibles will militate, for a time at least, against their construction for commercial uses. But it soon may be shown conclusively that a dirigible costing $6,000,000 would be capable of earning a good percentage on the construction cost. It is the old melodies that stir us most. The spirit that is thankful for favors received is the spirit of gentility. BEST LATE HOWE CRANBERRIES FANCY BLEACHED CELERY Plenty of Stale Bread for Dressing 2 lb.

Man's inhumanity to man makes thousands hesitate at the curb. A necessity is anything the neighbors can have without arousa-our envy. So live that it never will be necessary to cuss the narrow-ended gossip. The better he knows his stuff, shorter words he can use to tell the world. An experienced wife is one who can just by keeping still. Famous last words: "If I wish keep my feminine friends, it's my business." Australia punishes those who don't vote. Here they get punned either way. A business revival usually brings a new demand for shears and lamb clipping. It pays to be honest. Think how much annoying publicity the graffters get. Uncle Sam might reconcil him to his merchant fleet by calling it a souvenir. It is easy for nations to be friendly; the hard part is to get people to like one another.

Calouel is a good drug—in its place; but it's seldom in its place. Scandal, sweet in the mouths of fools, is bitter in the mouths of the wise. When it comes to the treatment of any serious illness or injury, laymen rush in where doctors fear to tread. In the vast majority of instances, that physical examination which does not include a routine examination of the blood and urine is of little value. If, as suggested, one can do better thinking while taking a hot bath, authors will find the Underwater Floatable Typewriter a great convenience. What people should really understand is that, until proven otherwise, every bellyache's an appendicitis and that purgatives should NOT be given in appendicitis. DINNER STORIES A membre of our diplomatic corps says that years ago the wife of the then American minister at The Hague asked Nelidoff, the Russian president of the peace conference of that time; to write something in her album. That his sentiment was touched with feeling is evident, for he wrote: "To make peace with one enemy is easier than with 47 neutrals."

Lemon St. Midwinter Term Opens December 29 Enrollments Active HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" MILK (Continued) Milk from sick cows is unhealthy and cannot be made fit for food by any sterilizing process, any more than could the contents of a garbage can, so when the use of milk is advised, it should always be healthy milk taken from healthy cows. THE MILK DIET has been adopted to a large extent by those who are searching for more abundant health and in certain cases it is productive of very beneficial results. Anyone suffering from any form of gastro-intestinal disorder will usually find that a few days milk will assist the stomach and intestines in regaining their normal tone and the rest from other foods is beneficial. The milk may be taken in place of meals, using as much as a quart at one time, but the best way in which to take an exclusive milk diet is to drink small quantities of milk at frequent intervals. A very good method is to take an eight ounce glass of milk every hour for twelve hours, so that three quarts in all are taken in a day. It is important to be regular in the time for taking milk, as the stomach and intestines seem to be able to handle it more easily if this regularity is practised. In addition, it is usually advisable to add some fruit or fruit juices to this diet; for instance, one or more teaspoonsful of lemon juice just before each glass is taken. This helps the milk to digest and tends to prevent billiousness. Orange or grapefruit juice may be substituted for the lemon or any of the fruits may be used to advantage. Almost everyone can take the milk diet if some kind of fruit is used, whereas there are a great many who cannot take a large enough quantity of milk itself to sustain them without producing billiousness. (To be continued) MRS. KAHN MAY SUCCEED HUSBAND SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23. Her hobby is good government and she rates as her chief asset the love, admiration and friendship that official Washington held for her late husband. Thus equipped, Mrs. Florence Prag Kahn, widow of Julius Kahn, veteran California member of the house of representatives, is prepared to "carry on" the work of her husband. The district which term after term returned her husband is expected to support her unanimously. It is improbable that any opposition candidate will be put up when the special election is called to fill the vacancy. For 25 years Mrs. Kahn has been an interested onlooker in the house of representatives from the gallery. During that time she was her husband's advisor and for the last eight months during his illness had carried on his work for his constituency. "I feel," she said today in explaining her decision to accept the nomination proffered her by her husband's supporters, "that thru a sense of obligation and duty to my late husband I should accept this responsibility. All my life I have been interested in politics and if I am sent back to Washington, I feel that the 25 years I have spent in the gallery will assist me on the floor." Mrs. Kahn, a graduate of U.C. in 1887, dressed simply in black, despite the silvery whiteness of her hair, has all the enthusiasm of youth when discussing her hobby—"good government." "It will be my deep desire to serve as Julius Kahn served," she said. She stands for "good government, one of honesty, truth, sincerity and service." Mrs. Kahn will be the second woman to represent San Francisco in the house of representatives and if elected will enter the house, as Mrs. Mae Nolan retires. COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying "CHEAPER" DEBTS ILLUSORY—Fresno Republican The United States is flooded with offers to lend it money. People are anxious to put their surplus cash into a place where it is secure, earning if its earning capacity is low. And to put it into a place where the costs and burdens of ownership are certain rather than varying, as in the case of private investments. All this is as it should be. It is natural that the government should be better pay than a private enterprise, and that private enterprise should get a higher rate of interest for investment. The bad tinge is for the government to get the notion, and for us people who compose the government to get the notion that debts that bear a lesser rate of interest are really "cheaper" debts. Money that is spent costs just as much, no matter what the rate of interest. We pay for it in some way. If we are spending too much on our government, on our roads, on our other public works, and are thus diverting into the wrong channels money that should go to capitalize farming, or industry, or transportation, we pay for it, no matter how cheap the interest. The trouble with these expenditures is that we have gotten the cheap interest idea too firmly fixed in our minds. What we should think of more is the cost of the principal, which we have till to pay. ON KNOWING WHAT GIVES US PLEASURE Butler, the author of one of the greatest novels of the last half century, "The Way of All Fleas," decided that "One reason why we find it so hard to know our own likings is because we are so little accustomed to try; we have our likings found for us in respect of by far the greater number of the matters that concern us; thus we have grown all our limbs on the strength of the likings of our ancestors and adopt these without question. "Another reason is that, except in mere matters of eating and drinking, people do not realize the importance of finding out what it is that gives them pleasure, if, that is to say, they would make themselves as comfortable here as they reasonably can. Very few, however, seem to care greatly whether they are comfortable. At least half of the misery which meets us daily might be removed, or at any rate, greatly alleviated if those who suffer by it would think it worth their while to beat any great pains to be rid of it. That they do not so think is proof that they neither know, or care to know, more than in a very languid way, what it is that will relieve them most effectually or, in other words that the shoe does not really pinch them so hard as they thing it does. For when Mrs. Kahn, a graduate of U.C. in 1887, dressed simply in black, despite the silvery whiteness of her hair, has all the enthusiasm of youth when discussing her hobby—"good government." "It will be my deep desire to serve as Julius Kahn served," she said. She stands for "good government, one of honesty, truth, sincerity and service." Mrs. Kahn will be the second woman to represent San Francisco in the house of representatives and if elected will enter the house, as Mrs. Mae Nolan retires. Mrs. Nolan was named to succeed her husband, the late John Nolan, but after serving one term did not seek re-election.
