st. Louis Globe-D Democrat: Atten.
ton has been called by the senate
committee of the Missouri legislature.
appointed to investigate the water
ways OF the state, to the fact that we
have vast water powers available,
some of them in excess Of the great
power developed by the Keokul dam.
To one stream the committee ascribes
the potentiality of 100000 horse.
power, not oil in one place, to be sure
but capable of development along its
entire course. Because Of its noun
tains and its numerous large streams.
combination shared with but few
other states, Missouri possesses far
greater potentially OF power in her
streams than most Of her sister states.
She holds the keys to industry
through generation of electric power
by water. Hers is the potentiality OF
the greatest manufacturing industries
of any state in the union from that
fact alone, to which must be added
her central location both as to raw
materials and the distribution of pro,
ducts.
Unfortunately for state control.
many of the streams possessing this
potentiality are classed as navigable,
and therefore under the control of
the federal government, SO far as
their use is concerned for any pur-
pose which would interfere with their
theoretical navigation. This prevents
complete regulation of water powers
by the state and renders federal reg.
ulation necessary, If such powers are
not to be gathered up into few
hands and monopolized to the injury
OF the common welfare. Neverthe,
less, in SO far as the state may con.
troll she should do so by prompt leg
islation, which the report OF this
committee may suggest and inspire.
The time is coming when coal as
an industrial fuel will no longer be
cheap enough to USE It's complete
exhaustion is only a matter of time.
But the streams run on forever, SO
long as rains refresh the earth and
the winter SHOWS fall upon it. Long
before coal becomes too dear or ex-
hausted, electric generation and
transmission are sure to become SO
cheapened that water will be substi-
tuted for coal in moving the wheels
OF industry and lighting the homes,
streets and factories. 1t is impera.
tive that before such time comes
the common interest OF the people
In these water powers be protected
IN such way as to give to them the
results OF their cheapness and per.
manency There should not be per-
mitted such monopoly of water
power as would prevent the great
cheapening of light and power of
which they are capable and which
applied science will soon give US as
a whole, or few OF us as monopo..
lists. There should be federal and
state cooperation in this important
matter.

Study Child Life at Iowa.

IOWA CITY, Iowa, July 26.-PIans
are under way at the University of
Iowa for the nrst study of child life
in rural district in the United States.
This study will be made as a fed
|eral experiment under the joint direc-
ton of the children's bureau of the
department of labor at Washington
and the University Of Iowa. The
|children's bureau has already under
taken study at Montclair, New
Jersey, and one at Johnstown, Penn
sylvania. The bureau now desires to
have a similar survey made of a
county in the middle west, in order
that the data concerning the children
in the city may be compared with cor.
responding data concerning children
in Iowa.
The work will be undertaken at
the University under the direction of
an expert from Washington. Exact
information will be Obtained concern
ing all children about one year of age
in given county in Iowa. What
county will be selected has not yet
been determined.
I'VE talk great DEAL said one OF
the experts in this work recently in
Washington, about the splendid on.
portunity of the child born in the
country and in the little towns to
grow to strong maturity.
From such information as have
been able to secure. believe that
the boy born on the east side in New
York. In that vastly over-crowded dis.
trict, has more chance of a strong
boyhood than hoy born on an aver.
age farm in the middle west.
The people In the middle west
generally have no adequate concep-
ton OF the tremendous waste going
on in the death rate of their children.
The study which we propose to make
in connection with the University of
Iowa will give to the state OF Iowa
exact data concerning the situation.
and 1t will be the direct means of
leading to the source Of waste
Not only will the investigation pro-
posed cover vital statistics. but it is
also proposed to obtain information
in connection with the work in die
tettcs of the new department of home
economics al the univers1ty. Dietetfcs
here will be studied from. the highest
scientific point known. The DEPART
nent Of sociology viii also have
charge Of certain phases Of the work.

At thirty Jim was trying still
To find a job which he could fill.

In seeking one to suit his taste;
He still preferred the top, he said:

Ahem." the answer came, you are
Too old to start, too old by far,
And yet too young to boss the show
Come back within a year or so.'
At forty Jim had not yet made
The landing he'd so long essayed.
The years had thinned his raven hair
Ito call him bald were scarcely fairl,
But brought him wisdom so that he
Cried, 'Tll take anything, you see"
Again they sharply loked him Ger,
And shook their heads: "Ahem. two
