EVEN sovereign states of tne Union
Arizona, Cnllfornlu, Colorado, Nevada,

met In the historic Palace of the Gov

nmleablo conclusion regarding the
much-vexed question of the control, dis
position and use of the wnteis of tho
4 Colorado river nnd have signed a com
pact which Is subject to ratification by
tho legislature of each of the seven slgnntory states
and by congress. In so doing these seven states
of tho Colorado River basin have
Settled by treaty Instead of by resort to the
United States Supremo court fundamental and

Settled at small expense within 11 months after
tho appointment of the commission n multitude of

Set a precedent In American history
Taken the Hrst step toward the creation of an

The headwaters of the Colorado river, as the
map shows, are in Wyoming Just south of Yellow

the Imperial and Palo Verde valleys In California
and the Yumn valley In Arizona. Its basin totals
!M2,000 square miles of American territory.
It Is no exaggeration to sny that the original
contentions of tho seven stntes vcro so far apart
that an agreement seemed hopeless. Dut Herbert

Vrcsldent Hnrdlng ns the representative of the
United Stntes, wns there ns chnlrmnn of the com

signed by the representatives of tho seven wnrrlng
states and bears this: "Approved. Herbert

of different beneficial uses of water, to promote
Interstate comity, to remove causes of present and
future controversies, and to secure the expeditious
agricultural and Industrial development of the Col
orado ltlver basin, the storogo or Its wnters, and
the protection of life nnd property from Hoods.
To these ends the Colorado River basin Is divided
Into two basins, and an apportionment of tho use
of part of tho wnter of tho Colorado river system
Is mode to each of them with the provision that
further equltnblo apportionments mny bo mndo.
"Art. II. As used In this compact: (A) The term
fColorndo ltlver system' menns that portion of tho
Colorado river and Its tributaries within the United
States of America. (B) Tho term 'Colorado River

tho United Stntes of America to which the wnters
of tho Colorado River system shall bo beneficially

sion' means the States of Colorado, New Mexico,
Utah and Wyoming. (D) Tho term 'Stntes of tho
lower division' means the Stntes of Arizona, Cali

-.
it. amzona imw

means n point In the main stream of the Colorado
river one mllo below the mouth of tho Paris river

'upper basin' menns tboso parts of tho States of
Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wy

Ferry and also nil parts of said states located with
out tho drainage area of tho Colorado River sys
ter which ore now or shall hereafter be beneficially
served by wnters diverted from the system nbove
Lee Ferry. (G) The term 'lower basin' menns
those parts of the States of Arizona, California,
Nevada, New Mexico nnd Utnh within nnd from
which waters nnturally drain into tho Colorado

generation of electrical power.
"Art. III. (A) There Is hereby apportioned from
the Colorado River system In perpetuity to tho
upper basin and to tho lower bnsln, respectively,
to excluslvo beneficial consumptive use of 7,700,
000 acre-feet of water per annum, which shall In
clude all water necessary for the supply of any
rights which may now exist. (B) In addition to
tho apportionment in paragraph (A) the lower
bnsln is hereby given the right to Increase Its bene
ficial consumptive use of such wnters by 1,000,000
acre-feet per annum. (0) If, as a matter of Inter
national comity, the United Stntes of America shall
hereafter recognize In the United States or Mexico
any right to use of any waters of tho Colorado
River system, such waters shall be supplied first
from tho waters which ore surplus over and above
the aggregate of the quantities specified In para
graphs (A) and (B), and If audi surplus shall
provo Insufficient for this purpose, then the burden
of such deficiency shall be equally borne by the
upper basin and the lower bnsln, nnd whenover
necessary the states of the upper division shall

tho deficiency so recognized In nddltion to that
provided In paragraph (D). (D) Tho states of
the upper division will not cause the (low of the
river aLLee Ferry to bo depleted below an aggre

tic, agricultural and power purposes. If tho con
gress stwll not consent to this paragraph, the other
provisions of this compnet shall nevertheless ro
mnln binding. (B) Subject to tho provisions of
this conjbnct, wnter of the Colorado River system
may be Impounded and used for tho generation of
electrical power, but such Impounding and use
slinll bo subservient to the uso nnd consumption
of such wnter for agricultural and domestic pur
poses nnd shall not Interfere with or prevent uso
for such dominant purposes. (C) The provisions
of this article shall not apply to or Intcrefcrc with
tho regulation nnd control by any state within Its
boundaries of the appropriation, use, and distribu

ever storage cnpnclty of (5,000,000 ncre-feet slinll
hnve been provided on the mnln Colorado river
within or for the benefit of tho lower bnsln then
clnlms of such tights, If nny, by impropriators or
users of water In the lower basin against np
proprlators or users of water In the upper bnsln
slinll nttneh-to nnd bo satisfied from water that

paired. "Art. XI. Tho compnet slinll become binding
nnd obligatory when It slinll hnve been npproved
by tho legislature of each of tho slgnntory stntes
nnd by tho congress of the United Stntes."
"The big thing about the Colorado river compact,"
says Secretary Hoover, "Is that It breaks tho
blockade on development of the whole river. It
allows us nil to go ahead with river development
and with Hood protection to tho Imperial and
Yuma valleys.
"The first step is to settle tho controversy be
tween tho upper nnd lower districts of tho Col
orado bnsln. There enn bo no development until
that is settled. Ratification by the stntes of tho
pnet agreed upon by tho Colorado River commis
sion will speedily accomplish this. If the matter
Is forced Into the Supreme court It may require
years. N
"Yet, behind all tho precise nnd commonplaco
language of this compnet lies the grcntness nnd
romnnco of tho West, tho building of a million
more homes out under tho blue sky In security and
good will." ,
While tho commission mado no recommendation
concerning the elto of tho dam, Mr. Hoover said
ho fa voted Its construction nt or near Boulder
canyon. This Is below tho Grand canyon and
close, to tho lino between Arizona and Nevada.
Tho annual flow of tho Colorado is about 20,
000,000 acrc-fcet. One-third of this is now used.
Dinner and Dance Hats Are Important

Metallic ribbons, shading to rose, blue,
and other colors make the rosettes or
coeardcB, from which long ribbon
streamers fall, often below the hem
lino of the dress. One of theso spar

tration mndo of narrow ribbon.
Dance liutu usually employ gold or
silver tlssuo or rich silks In oriental
colorings and designs. The turban in
Its varied forma Is the most popular

In styles the ovcrblouse domlnntea

type appears In the Illustration mad'
