Liberty IhrouKh all ttir Und" l.llx-rfy Bell The New Lake Pumping Plant Has Utah county any interest in the proposal of the Salt Lake county water users to construct a pumping plant at Pelican Point with a canal to tap the deep part of the lake? One wonders what the consequences will be to the residents resi-dents of this county. Many are of the opinion that if the pumping plant is constructed, it will neart the gradual disappearance dis-appearance of the lake. During the last six years the lake has be'en dwindling rapidly, until at the present time it is little more than a mtfdhol. The plan agreed upon at a-mass meeting of the water users Thursday is to ask Secretary of Interior Harold lckes to allocate for immediate use $440,000 of the Deer Creek-Utah Creek-Utah lake project funds for the construction of the canal and pumping plant capable of delivering 160.000 additional acre-feet of water for irrigation purposes. The water users are willing to pledge the canal systems of the five companies taking water from the lake as security secur-ity for the loan. It is argued that unless contracts can b? let by March 1, certain drought and consequent destruction of their crops is inevitable "before July 1. What effect will the construction of this pumping plant and canal system have on the of Deer Creek and the' Utah lake dyking project? It is feared in some quarters that once the deep part of the lake is tapped and the water needs of the Salt Lake county canal companies are met, vital support will be withdrawn from the bigger project. These are questions that should be answered for the benefit of the people of this county who have an interest in Utah lake as a scenic and recreational asset. Absolute harmony har-mony and close cooperation by the two counties will be necessary if the Deer Creek-Utah lake diking project is realized. The larger project which is to bring permanent and lasting benefits to both counties should not be lost sight of while temporary expedients are being worked out. Proven cation Howdy, folks!

HOW STAFF LINKS IP i Farley's staff Is characteristic of his own easy-going temperament. tempera-ment. Thev all study to please. They are all easy to meet, easy to get along with sometimes too easy. Wililam W. Howes, first assistant assist-ant postmaster general in charge of postmaster appointments and personnel, is a short, beefy, former form-er Huron, S. D., attorney, former national committeeman, former vice chairman, national Democratic Demo-cratic committee. He is a quiet, hard worker', and as wily a politician poli-tician as they come. He will never set the world ori ire, but he can be an anonymous but invaluable assistant to those who do. Harllee Brunch is second assistant assist-ant postmaster general in charge of rural routes, star routes, air and ocean mail. A veteran south- ern political reporter and Wash ington correspondent, quiet-mannered and soft-spoken, but keen and wise, there are few political tricks and politicians Harllee doesn't know. From his long journalistic jour-nalistic experience in covering government affairs, he has also a sure and thorough grasp of public pub-lic business, a fact that has been I I looks like a lot of fun." of great value to him and the department. Clinton 15. F.ilenberger is third assistant pastmaster general in charge of postal savings, stamps, and finances. A solid, competent, Pennsylvania Dutch banker from Stroudsburg, Pa., he owes his job to Boss Joe Guffey, whom he serve:! as treasurer of the state Democratic committee. Eilenberger makes an occasional political speech, but he is even more a background figure than Howes. His work ii largely routine, but he does it well and enthusiastically- Silliman Kvans is fourth assistant assist-ant postmaster general in charge of supplies post office buildings, leases, and sites. A short, stocky, mellow Texan, once a newspaperman, newspaper-man, Evans is of the glad-hander type, makes a great ado over his job, is always on the lope to some conference or other, and doesn't stack up to his colleagues in ability. Ambrose O'Connell is executive assistant postmaster general, a euphemistic description for general gen-eral utility and confidential man to the postmaster general. A New York lawyer, originally from Iowa, O'Connell knows both the east and the west. His personality is much on tiie order of that of Farley's, friendly, breezy, frank, companionable. That is' the line-up of the department de-partment now crowding the headlines, head-lines, and which, thanks to Senator Sen-ator Black and its Republican predecessors, pre-decessors, can read those headlines head-lines and be grateful that this expose ex-pose came just in time.

These Curious Things The bible speaks of several in stances where the bridegroom "captured" his wife and: carried her away into hiding. There is nothing so terribly strange about this custom, for it is being prac ticed even today among certain ! peoples. The Maoris, the t iji I islanders, amoans, natives or New Guina, the tribsemen of the Indian archipelago and the Tar-Lars Tar-Lars of central Asia all carry away the women they wish to marry. At one time all the Carib tribes captured their wives from other tribes. The Uapes carry away their women, and m Tas mania it was once the accepted cutom. Traces of this practice are found among the Esthonians, the Laplanders and the Finns. In South America, among the natives on the Orinoco and Amazon Ama-zon rivers, the strong warrior still hunts his wife among rival tribes and carries her off to be come his bride. if if f if The old controversy which is occasionally trusted off and debated de-bated whether or not William Shakespeare or Bacon wrote many of the plays attributed to the former, has simmered down of late to a comparison of scholarly ability. Shakespeare, in his numerous plays, makes many blunders which cannot be well explained. They are, of course, all "mechanical" "me-chanical" mistake. In one of his plays he mentions men-tions a "seacoast in Bohemia," a country completely landlocked. In the play, "Julius Caesar," he says: "Hark! hear the ticking of a ckH.k!" At that period of his-Lory his-Lory (Roman) the only method i telling time was by sun dials. In "King John" Shakespeare has Lhe line, "Bring up the artillery!" There was no .artillery in Europe jt the time of King John. Gunpowder Gun-powder did not come to Europe until 300 years later. Critics, point out that these plays must have been written by Shakespeare, because Bacon, a profound pro-found student, would have known better!

"Pei haps," 6he 6ald quickly, "I shouldn't stay. Perhaps It would be better If I didn't "I'm sorry." Bannister apologized. apolo-gized. "I didn't mean what I aaid to sound the way It did. I didn't mean to be rude. It's only that it might be easier for you if you went with your sister and brother-in-law." "I won't do that." she told bim. "I'll see this through to the finish, " There was silence for several moments. mo-ments. Juliet leaned back, resting one arm on the piano. She had never looked lovelier and Bannister Ban-nister had never seemed less aware of It, "I , don't know what Elbert told you." the girl said slowly, "But I do know him! I hope you don't chink I've done anything too foolish fool-ish "Not at all," he assured ber. But It wasn't the truth. He did think she bad been foolish. Outrageously Out-rageously foolish.

"What's In the paper?" she asked. . ,v . . . -Nothing much. They've had a bad storm on the east coast. And another pair of movie stars are getting a divorce." Over the newspaper only the top ot Bannister's head was visible The girl waited for him to con tluue. but be did not. Suddenly she got to her feet. "I think I'll go to my room," she said, and disappeared. DANN18TER put down the news-paper news-paper and 6tared at the fire. He thought, "I've made a mess of everything. I don't know any more about who killed Tracy King than 1 did the day I heard he'd been murdered. I've wasted a lot of time when I might have been dng something else. What did I ever get Into this for?" He knew the answer, though he refused to recognize it- He had gone into it becaup he was Inter ested in Juliet France and because he wanted to help her. He looked across the room where she had sat. Did she expect him to listen to the songs she bad eung to Tracy Wng? Well, be wouldn't! "I suppose he told her they were beautiful," Bannister thought scornfully. scorn-fully. T suppose he praised ber voice and paid her a lot of compliments." compli-ments." Irritably he got to h!s feet and walked to a window, looking out. His aunt, coming Into the room, asked, "Where's Juliet?" "I think she went upstairs." Mrs. Hewlett picked up her knitting knit-ting basket. "Oh, dear," she complained. com-plained. "I've lost those glasses again " Her nephew paused In the doorway. door-way. "I'm going out." he said. "Be backf in an hour or so." But It was later than that when he returned. Head down, his coat collar turned up about his neck. Bannister strode along the dark, cold streets He gave no thought to the direction he took, passed busings without seeing them. He walked rapidly but the tormenting tor-menting thoughts pursued him. "You've made a fool of yourself," they Informed him. "You've pretended pre-tended you were trying to solve a murder when all the time it the girl you were interested In.

H fastened the door for the night and went upstairs to his room. At breakfast he and Juliet France scarcely spoke to each other. 11 ! was the same during the evening , meal and again the next morning. His aunt tried to question him "David," she said, "aren't you feeling feel-ing well?" "Why. yea. I'm all right." "Well, you don't look It, Anc" you barely touched your food. Wu don't you stop in and see Doctor Porter on your way down town?" "Aunt Kate, there's no reason foi me to see a doctor! I'm perfectly ' all right. 1 tell you."

Tbe world In general was 1 wearisome shade of blue that morn iug until Bannister strode Into tb Hotel Tremont drug store to bu) some clgarets. He had taken on from the package and paused l light it when a man. leaning against the counter, caught his eye. It was an Instant before Baa nlster recognized him. Then h stepped forward. "Good morning Mr. Hollister." he said. Matthew Hollister turned. "Hello." he said. "Say I'm glad to see you Let's see, your name is ?" "Bannister. David Bannister." "That's right. I remember now I'm glad to see you, Mr. Bannister ! Have a cigar." I X.1 1 1 r iV ! TMl i this clgaret." "Take it!" Hollister urged, hold ing out the cigar. "Put It in youi pocket and smoke it some othei time. It's a good one I'll guar antee that." Bannister took tbe cigar becaus he did not want to offend the othei man. Hp looked at Matthew Hoi lister appraislngly. From the graj felt hat to his neat black ozfordi everything Hollister wore appeared to be new. His dark blue fieec overcoat bore no relation whatevei to the worn tweed garment Ban nister had seen bim wear before Tbe silk muffler was conservatively correct. So were the gray gloves. But the change in Hollister's appearance ap-pearance was more than thai wrought by clothes. He looked younger. The meek. submUslf manner was gone. To Bannister the contrast between tbe man fas was facing and the broken, half-hysterical half-hysterical Matthew Hollister whe had cried out that the police mttst protect him was almost Incomprehensible. Incompre-hensible. Bannister said saddenly, "Going down the street? Suppose we wall along together 7" To Be Continued,) y |
