Mr.. F1eming's address. in the discus
sion or an industrial Washington by the
committee and the directors, was de-
voted to showing that 1t is entirely pos

come time when the water power of
The upper Potomac would be used TO
supply electric power for factories near
this city.

proven. by the use Of automatic stokers
and other devices. that smoke can be
eliminated from factories by careful
management Of the consumption OF coal.
