Amund ment of tho new water power act so as to exclude the national parks from Its provisions will be deinaud ed of Congress at lis next session. It is announced by Robert Sterling Yard, executive secretary of the Na- tlonal Parks Association. Mr. Yard also says that a fight will bo made! to have Congress reject pending le- gislation. which he asserts, opens tho way for irrigation projects to draw on the parks for water. Without amendment. Mr. Yard ays the water power act is "the Jeath warrant of our national parks system", because all government owned land and reservations are "tnbraced within Its terms, miking It possible for private Interests to erect dams, power-houses, transmis sion lines and o'hr structures by obtaining leases from the federal water power commission. It was not until the water power hill reached President Wilson for aproval thet discovery was made by onservatlonlsts that national parks would be aTfected. and now the right, Mr. Yard saws, will be made for Its amendment. Besides the effort to change the water power act. Mr. Yard savs an effort will bo made to prevent favor able action on pending legislation, granting permission to private In terests to build an Irrigation reser voir In an absctire swamn In the southwestern corner of the Yellow stone National Park, miles from any tvtdv .rt,?t.v . r .i.n-a. would he the opening wedire for a number of Irrigation plans for other national parks. Mr. Yard anticipates that other legislation. Including a proposal fur damming Yellowstone Lake, will be brought liefore Congress, all of which he contends would tend to de stroy the beauty of Amerlra's play- grounds. The conservation associations and many Institutions throughout the cotintrv". Mr. Yard says, "are even organizing now fairlv caught the imagination of this Idealistic and ..... nnlll lunnla ihn In It not only a svstem of exhibits of the native Amorirnn wilderness, tin- touched, for all lm. b"t th be- sinning of a rslsssal national e - o - p.omlc aset which shall ennrmouslv ! mallr tmral and hn nr.n and hrinr incrptn thousand tflfrrand iHrcny In the only charge to . v..rnra vnM .,,, foreign visitor! here every iummr'(Sier such a case. 0 see them.

The Bathing Girl Show Good Clean Fun A large unmber of producors dur ing the last two years havo found that as an attraction, naming gins, are par excellence, and they have been lavishly sprinkled through many of tho film and stage succosses Yesterday marked the first visita tion df tho popular type to this city, and today several hundred people are earnestly hoping that It won't bo tho last. One peculiar fact was no ticeable, that of the large number of men near the front of the house, where usually me J1" , j last to fill up and the changes made I to the front seals aner lue tuiium w i .. - - ; went up. There is something about the words "bathing girls" that sa-1 tne worus uaiiinis ein 'ua'- forB of mystery and intrigue, and from the sheepish "just-what-am-l here Ifor" expression on tho faces of most of the audience, there was some doubt about Just what the show would be like, but those that expect ed a "naughty" show were dlsap polnte. and In the words of one en thusiast "there was nothing bad about it but tho 'shimmy' and it was good." Chester Conklln is all that he is on tho screen and more but bis fun ny makeup and actions were nearly overshadowed by Art Penney, who Is a natural comedian, "getting over" without tho aid of make up. His bass solos were one of the outstanding features of tho show. As for the girls they were true naming uuauues. una asido from that, nothing need bo B;ild. (iood dancers, good singers and good lookers is their completo his tory. The Jazz band was all that a jazz band should be and tho violin solo was especially good.
