 testing the bedrock for the foundations
 for two dams for this mammoth hydro
 electric plant. The development will finally mean. the expenditure of between
 $5,o0o00o and $l0,o00,ooo.
 The big enterprise Is being undertaken by New York and Boston capitalists and several years ago company was
 organized with a capital stock of $i.000 - 0o0 as a preliminary. Since that time the company has been acquiring water power sites and necessary boundaries In west ern North Carolina and east Tennessee | for the big development Power will be delivered to all points in the south, it | is claimed, including Birmingham, Nash vile, Montgomery, Mobile and even Pen

 Pryor Nelson, of Murphy. N. C., is the executive head of the concern, and
 the work of testing the bedrock is being
 carried forward by Thrasher and Gunter,
 the contractors who bored the Southern
 railway tunnel through Lookout moun- tain at Chattanooga.
 The main dam is to be 1s0 feet In
 height This will mean that the dams and plant will be the greatest it is said,
 of any hydro-electric with the single ex-
 ception of Hales bar, on the Tennessee
 river below Chattanooga. The dam sites
 on the Hiawassee are said to be far sui perior to those on the Oconee, on which | the Parkersvile dam is built.

 The local tent, Knights of the Mac cabees, was the first fraternal and beneficiary order in the state to pur- chase a bale and the clerks associa- tion was the first organization of any kind to purchase bale. The plan is to pay $50 per bale, and it is not be- lieved that a bale will be placed on

May Become Gayest Capital

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Washington.-As a result of the Euro mean war the capital of the United States is expected to become one of the great est and gayest in the world. This is the belief of the trades people and real estate operators of Washington. who have been inundated with orders for goods and inouiries for suitable residences from Americans who long have dwelt abroad. Hundreds of great houses, which have been boarded up and in which only care takers have lived for the last two or three years, are being put in readiness for the return of their owners from Eu- rope.
 A noticeable feature of the tide that has set in toward the capital is the number of wealthy foreigners who are seeking asylum here. Real estate men are work ing overtime endeavorng to find suit able accommodations for the families ot well-known European houses. whose mer are fighting in the present struggle. but who wish to find safe place for theil dependents. Suitable residences now are at a premium.
 Hundreds of such inquiries are coming from overseas" said R. P. Andrews. pres ident of the Retail Merchants associa ton, today. Many residences In the fashionable sections of the city which have not known their owners in years are being put into readiness for the re- turn. The capital of the United States yet may outstrip Vienna and Brussels as the gayest and most desirable capital in the world
 As result of the influx. the merchants are preparing for an unprecedented re- vival in business In order to meet the expected boom "a conference has been called between committees for the mer- chants' association. the Chamber of Com

Colors Affect the Brain

From the New York Sun.
 People to whom certain colors repre- sent sounds or emotions have long been laughed at, but scientific work on the suns rays Is proving them to have justification for their theories
 Red, it appears, Is the most exciting and stimulating of all colors and has a special effect on the activity of the brain. Blue. which so many people ln an age of great nervous strain and tension find soothing. Is so in reality. Unless you are in depressed and mel- ancholy state sea blue curtains at your bedroom windows have beneficial ef- feet, especially if you face south and get the morning sun.
 Color indeed. especially In flowers has an extraordinary effect on the men, tai condition. The sight of crimson, pink and amethyst rhododendrons growing in the open air has a cu- riously uplifting and joyous effect.
