Once More in Rockies
Find 30 Blank Miles in New
Border Dispute.
Denver, Col.—Another "no-man’s
land" in which residents do not
know whether they are living in
Colorado or New Mexico was dis
closed in a half-century old bound
ary dispute between the two states.
Arthur P. Kidder, named by the
United States Supreme court in 1925
as commissioner to run, locate and
mark the boundary between the
states, informed Colorado Attorney
General Byron G. Rogers that all
but ninety-five miles of the survey
had been completed. He requested
$8,000 from Colorado to match a
similar amount from New Mexico.
The boundary dispute, all but for
gotten by Colorado officials, brought
about a situation similar to the re
cent one at Breckenridge, Col.,
where residents found they were
living in a territory that had not
been annexed by the state.
Cost Near $50,000.
Field work was carried to com
pletion from the northeast corner
of New Mexico westward to the
236th mile comer, Kidder reported.
Costs of $24,270.59 were paid by
Colorado and $24,284.38 by New
Mexico between 1927 and 1932.
The remaining ninety-five miles
to be surveyed include thirty miles
across high cliffs of the Mesa
Verde, where a survey line has nev
er been run.
The first survey made to estab
lish boundary lines was run by
Ehud N. Darling, a federal sur
veyor, in 1868. In 1902 and 1903
another federal surveyor, Howard
B. Carpenter, established a new
line which- varied from the Darling
line from a few feet to nearly three-
quarters of a mile. No estimate
has been made of the amount of
land involved between the two sur
vey lines.
In 1924 New Mexico asked the
United States Supreme court to es
tablish the Carpenter survey, favor
able to New Mexico, as the official
boundary. '
Colorado contested the suit, and
finally won when the court held
the Darling line was the correct
boundary. The case is now the
oldest on the Supreme court docket.
"I have succeeded in the iden
tification of a large number of the
1868 mariners that were established
by Darling,” Kidder said.
He said he had also completed
the intervals that were not marked
in the 1868 survey, and had con
structed approximately 360 con
crete monuments to mark the
boundary. The court decree also
called for the removal of iron posts
established by Carpenter.

1922 Oshkosh Law Bars
Radios Without Permit
Oshkosh, Wis. — Residents of Osh
kosh who own radios are subject
to a fine of from <10 to $50 or im
prisonment in the county ja l of not
longer than ninety days.
A city ordinance passed in 1922
still stands on the city’s books which
provides that "for the protection of
life and property,” no firm, person,
or corporation within thf^ city shall
erect a radio set without having
obtained a permit from the city
electrical inspector.
The ordinance, long since forgot
ten by everyone except the elec
trical inspector who never tried to
enforce it, was brought to light by
John Moore, an attorney modifying
city ordinances under a W. P. A.
project.
Examination of ordinances since
1922 failed to show that the measure
has been repealed, Moore said.

"Personalities, not abstractions,

A man’s charac
ter reflects the
spirit of his ide
als. A man is
what he is in
the organic unity
of his secret
thoughts. While
thoughts deter
mine destiny, it
is absolutely nec
essary that there

D. Q. Downs, world-famous in
ventor of death-dealing devices, as
he ate his dinner in the Midnight
Mission in Los Angeles, haven for
those without means. Downs is the
inventor of the famous "Y” sys

which practically ended the war

unless they are expressed in char
acter and in life.
What this old world sadly needs
is a vital sense of reality. Defini
tions and theories as such are not
sufficient. We want life. We want
to live. We want reality. As an
expression of sympathy, we do not
send our friends a treatise on bot
any, we send them flowers. We do
not purchase from our grocer an
essay on the history of bread; we
buy a loaf of bread. We do not
offer to those to whom we are in
debted our good wishes in payment
of an obligation; we proffer real
money. A menu card does not sat
isfy our hunger. We demand food.
A mere definition of the Infinite is
not sufficient for the seeker of
truth. He finds truth only when he
discovers in the ultimate Person
ality the One who said: "I am the
Truth.”
The question arises, does it really
make any difference what we be
lieve, so long as we have arrived at
the goal of happiness and peace?
The question is irrelevant for the
reason that no peace is pqssible
without the right kind of thoughts.
In fact, happiness is but thought
seeking expression in our emotions.
While it is true that what we be
lieve determines our destiny both in
this world and the next, it is also
true that belief (faith) without
works is dead. A man is saved
from imminent danger not only by
the desire to help, but by the defi
nite sacrificial effort of rescuing..
Our beliefs about friendship will
not satisfy: we want a friend. The
beautiful song, "Home, Sweet
Home,” will not suffice: we want
a home.
A theory of a righteous govern
ment is one thing; but an effort to
make the government right is quite
another thing.
The dream of a warless world—a
glorious ideal—but we shall con
tinue to have wars until we grow
less selfish and learn, not the the
ory, but the reality of forgiveness.
The value of a man’s life is not
measured by his beliefs, however
orthodox and sincere they may be.

J IM TOWNE always says he
reaches for his wallet when he
sees his lady-love around the house
with a yardstick., a pencil and an
abstract look. Because that means
some kind of an investment in new
curtains or bedspreads or chair
covers or something. Maybe not ex
pensive, but anyway you know how
men are—they love to crab, but
adore the effect of your spending.
But Molly does get more gayety
out of a few y^rds of cretonne than
anybody we know. Now she’s busy
thinking about thefr dining room
which has been the gathering
place for the crippled chairs
and hand-me-down rugs ever
since! they got married. But last
fall they got around to buying new
dining room furniture, walnut and
rather modern, and for Christmas
they got a new rug in a dull dusty
apricot color. This spring they’re
having the walls painted in a very
pale version of this same dull apri
cot, and Molly is thinking about
curtains.
She has in mind a lovely chintz
that’s mostly aquamarine with
white, and she plans plain white
glass curtains hung straight) and
tailored. The chair seats are a white
leather, and she’s considering put
ting a small love seat in the dining
room with a slip cover of the aqua
marine chintz. Won’t that be sweet?
But it will be the accessories that
will give this room its final distinc
tion. Molly has Japanese prints with
mirror frames, and a fine mirror
placque for the table centerpiece.
Crystal in modem design stands on
the buffet and above it at either
side Molly is having brackets of
mirror to hold small crystal vases
in nosegays of flowers of greenery.

Lucy’s Living Room.
"I feel like spring,” announced
Lucy. "But my living room
doesn’t. Oh, I do long for a really
pretty room and I can’t spend much
So what!”
We looked the room over—small,
not very bright, with two windows
placed together at one end. No fire
place, no interesting wall treatment
to help—just plain cream walls and
woodwork. The furniture was hodge
podge. An oak bookcase with a
fancy top, a straight uncompromis
ing sofa with a mahogany frame
and a bown velvet cover, a do
mestic rug worn and faded, a rock
ing chair covered in black leather,
old but not old enough lamps. The
only nice piece was the mahogany
desk.
"Yes, you guessed it! We took
over Fred’s sister's house when they
were transferred. We got the furni
ture for a song as they didn’t think
it was worth moving.
We suggested taking the doors
and fancy woodwork off of the book
case and painting it warm mulber
ry color, on the outside and egg
shell on the inside. Yellow and blue
pottery bowls replaced books on the
top shelf. The sofa did look pretty
hopeless until a well-fitted slip cover
with box pleats around the bottom
covered it—a glazed chintz with
egg-shell background and large
blue and yellow flowers. The rug
had to stay as it was for the present
and so the tr ( ick was to center at
tention elsewhere. One or two good
reproductions of really fine pictures
would help a lot, too. The rocking
chair had good lines and a nice
mahogany frame so this was re
done in the same material as the
sofa. A foot stool that had been
hiding under a carpet covering was
"When a lady feels like spring.**
re-covered In the same fabric and
the rocking chair and stool became
a unit and a very attractive one,
too. We just threw away all the
lamps and bought new but inex
pensive ones. A pair of blue pot
tery ones for end tables*on either
side of the sofa, and an ivory pot
tery lamp with a blue linen shade
for the desk. Draperies of blue
glazed chintz with mulberry ball
fringe over simple white point
d’esprit .tie-backs made all the dif
ference.
