Creation of Colony
of Asiatics Is Hope
of Arizona Promoter
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.—
Creation of a vast colony of Asiatics
in the Imperial valley of California
a land that inevitably would be irri
gated by the Colorado river if the
proposed Boulder canyon dam is con
structed was predicted here recently
before the senate irrigation commit
! tee by George H. Maxwell, of Arizona,
jwho said he represented the National
Reclamation association.
Mr. Maxwell also said that under
i the plans for development of power
at the Boulder dam, the water level
would be so low that the water
could not be diverted to adjacent
lands in Arizona and California, with
! a result that it would pass into
Mexico to irrigate there practically
2.000,000 acres of land.
Declaring Asiatics slowly had been
! colonizing the Imperial valley ot
California, Maxwell said they would
do likewise in the Mexico Imperial
valley, leaving a danger to this
j country “greater than that which
l congress sought to meet when it
! passed the Asiatic exclusion provi
sion of the immigration law.”
j A protection against the committee
hearing Maxwell, was lodged by
j Ben Franklin Fly, representing the
i Yuma Water eserve Rassociation anc
I the Yuma chamber of commerce
I Fly said Maxwell spoke for no in
terest in Arizona.

OLD DOBBIN STILL
KICKING FOR HIS
PLACE IN THE SUN
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 119.—
Contrary to the general belief that
the automobile has relegated Old
Dobbin to the pension rolls is the
authoritative statement from the de
partment of commerce that the de
mand for horse-drawn vehicles has
nearly doubled in the past two years.
According to figures made public
today by the department, there was
an increase of more than 120 per
cent in the manufacture of horse
drawn vehicles last year as com
pared with the total production for
1921.
The last biennial census report,
just concluded, shows that 236,091
carriages, wagons, sleighs and sleds
were manufactured in the United
States in 1923 at a total value of
$22,493,407. In 1921, when the last
previous census was taken, 107,279
horse-drawn vehicles, with a total
valuation of $12,175,206, were manu
factured. f
While the report shows a decided
increase in the demand for horse
drawn vehicles, the total production
is signifcant when compared with
the automobile output last year.
During 1923 almost four million au
tomobiles were placed on the mar
ket and their total value exceeded
$2,611,000,000.
Conditions of Modern
Civilization Changing
Men s Faces, Is Claim
LONDON, Jan. 19.—Conditions of
men’s faces are making them more
handsome, according to Sir Arthur
Keith, conservator of the Museum of
the Royal College of Surgeons.
Diminished use of the jaws is caus
ing changes in the bony framework
of the human force, he said.
Walter Stoneham, who compiles
the photographic record of the na
tion’s most famous men for the na
tional photographic gallery, declared
that in general, men’s faces are be
coming narrower and more refined.
Men use their jaws less in chew
ing England’s famous old roast
beef, he says, even if they use them
more in conversation than their re
putedly taciturn ancestors.
School saving bank balances in
New York City increased from $11,
807,000 to $20,435,000 during the
yeaU ending June 30, 1924.

DEPARTMENT
AGAINST PUZZLES
WASHINGTON, Jan. IS.—'The post
office department lias ruled against
the offering of prizes by newspapers
for solution of cross word puzzles
received are violations of the postal
laws. The practice prohibits such
publications from being circulated in
the mails.
Notification was sent by the depart
ment to the postmaster at Richmond
that a newspaper there offering prizes
for such solutions should be barred
from the mails. The postmaster had
complained that hundreds of persons
had asked him to stamp the hour and
date on their enclosures and that it
entailed too much labor.
