Capital is invested in any project on two general plans low interest with absoluto security or at. a higher rate ot interest with lessor security. Un der tho lattor terms tho Investment may vory readily becomo merely a speculation. A conservative policy on tho part ot tho state cnglneor is tho only means to keep tho irriga tion bonds of the stato In tho class of gilt edgo securities and thereby as- suro Irrigators the lowest interest rates. Now projects already under way, tor part ot which bonds havo already been marketed, would Hko- wlso bo affected. Tho financial In torosts of tho state, who havo so generously invested in irrigation bonds, will bo doubt comblno to off set the operations of these few pro moters who scok to launch their du bious, projects and safeguard tho In terests of tho substantial irrigation districts." Jazz Dead Says English Dancer - LONDON, Jan. 15. (By Mall). Tho 'Jazz' Is dead In London, says P. 1 J. S. nichardson, ono of the foremefst - English authorities on dancing! Ho declares that no 'now' dances will bo popularized this year, but the fox trot, ono-stcp and tango, which havo held International interest for two or three season's, will be standard ized. "Previously thoso taught tho samo dances by different teachers found themselves hopelessly at sea -when they tried to dance together," he said. "Through standardization, on which the majority of dancing In structors In London havo now agreed, a common framework in the steps will bo Insured without eliminating all chanco ot Introducing individual variations. .Freakish and eccentric 'light gymnastic' such as exaggerat ed forms ot 'Jazz' are rapidly pass ing out."

D. Stop hens today by tho California Stato 'Automobllo Association and tho Au tomobllo Club ot Southorn Califor nia. Tho report was based on a study mado by club committees ot all pav ed highways In California to deter mine their sufficiency In width, their present condition and their ability to carry. tho Increasing volumo and weight of traffic. Criticism, which the report said Is constructive, is contained In thb statement sent the govornor. Tho highway commission, tho report said, "has Iackod foresight and vision by (ailing to carry out adoquato and sufficient experimentation, research and investigation on a broad and comprehenslvo scale." The commis sion also was charged with having "no stated program dlrectod toward aiding county highway departments," and the report continued, "though a headquarters policy which must bo classed as narrow and shortsighted, tho responsibility of tho commission's division engineers has been so cir cumscribed' that at times their work has resolved itself Inio-mcro routine." Dolay In payment of accounts was also charged to the commission, and that body's nttlludo toward highway contractors "of oxcollont standing" has been, it was charged, the causo of severe criticism from contractors. wnon mo enginoers on the clubs' commltteo started their Investigation, four-inch concrete pavements were tho commission standard.

Feb. 7. Every luxury lavished on royalty is to be tho portion of Man O' War, world champion thoroughbrod, at Hlnata farm, near horo, whore he has Just beon rot I rod to tho stud. A prlvato groom, private toed tubs, a prlvato pasturo wboro bo Is allowed to run loose itheso aro some ot tho things thnt nro being provldod by his ownor, Samuel D. lllddto ot Phila delphia, and Miss Elizabeth Dalngor field, noted brooder ot thorough breds, under whose caro he has been placed. Animals such as Man O'War are not allowed to do the many things tholr ploblan brothers and sisters do that might exposo them to danger. When the ttmous racer left the farm at Berlin, Maryland, wbore bo was stabled after his return from his triumph ovor Sir Barton at Windsor, ho was placed In a padded automobllo van and hauled to the express car. On his arrival In Lexington he was un loaded Into another van and taken to the Kentucky Jockey Club race track for exhibition to admiring thousands of Kentucklane. Ills Honor Like Company When ho was takon from tho track to Hlnata farm, a dlstunco ot six miles, ho was again plncod In n van and haulod over tho smooth highway to the farm. Thoro ho was unloadod and placed In a stall specially pre pared for him, with tho companion ot all his trnvols, Major Treat, the old stoeplo chase racor, on one Isdo and Oolden Ilroom, Mrs. Walter U. Jet ford's four-ysar-old stallion, on the other. For Man 0"War love equine company and he Is to be kept satis fied by having his ehum with him as well as another high bred animal. Although Miss Datngerfleld, whose reputation as a breoder ot race horses Is second to none, has said that "a bono Is a horse and Man O'War will Just have a stable," alio told the rep resentative of tho Associated Press that sho had remodeled a barn on the. farm for htm. Tho box stalls prepared for Man O'War and Oolden Iiroom are largo and roomy, giving thorn plonty of room in which to turn and lio down at will. Watchman Stands Guard Feed tubs for Man O'War have been specially built by a Lexington tinsmith, speclaly precautions being takon to seo that tbo famous racer cannot lnjuro himself. The stalls In tho barn aro much Ilka thoso in the barn of any thoroughbred brooding farm, but through and about the barns at all hours of tho night n watchman makes his way to seo that no harm befalls any of the racers. In a house nearby will live Frank Loftus, the man who always has eared for Man O'War'elnce his baby days on August Belmont's "Nursery Stud six miles from Lexington on the Georgetown pike, and where his dam, Mabnbab, and bis sire, Fair Play, still are stabled. Loftus will etay with the famous horse, earing for him by day and on eall at any time bis services may be needed. "Man O'War Is a well behaved ani mal and no extra precautions have been taken in his stall to prevont his injuring himself," said Miss Dalngor- flold.. "Wo have mado no very un usual preparations for him. I have had a stable remodeled with three stalls, one tor Man O'War, one for Golden Broom, Mrs. Jofford's stal lion, and a smaller one for Major Treat, 'Man O' War's companion. I havo prepared a small house nearby for Frank Loftus, his groom, to llvo In. The regular night watchman ot tho farm will bo on duty during the hours whon tho grooms and caretak ers aro not present. The books for Man O'War and Golden Broom have not beon prepared and I do not know to what mares 'he will bo bred,' but the plan Is to breed him to about IE this season."
