Ho advocates "the grentest ; reservoir and the highest dam j at'Boukler Canyon that the en- : ineers will reeommenil." i H i Mr. Hoover said nothing! about government ownership j of the power development. Thtifc faet will comfort some of the' "best Wall Street minds" that ' shivered when he was nomi nated. In a few days Governor Smith's keynote speech will give the country his attitude on the Boulder Dam project, among other matters. It is safe to predict, in view of his record, that he also will advocate full control and de velopment of the Colorado river water and power, now wasted and dangerous.

' Miss Garden, only 51, hnow ing that the best part of her life is before her, does not wish to tic herself down prema turely.

"All. very well," some lady replies, '-'but men are interest ed only in young girls." That is true, of fools, but what of if? Why regulate life to suit men's folly? Men don't do that for you.
