Present Need Is Cited.

The fact that it is necessary or de-
sirable for the Treasury Department TO
build heat and power plant demon
strates beyond a doubt a very actual
present need for the existence of the
proposed Potomac power plant.
THE special committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce will continue its in
vestigations to their conclusion, and
from the information already in hand
II appears that the chamber will be
justified in working arduously for i'm
mediate undertaking of the Great Falls
project.
I'VE appreciate the generous attitude
assumed by Secretary Garrison in not
aligning himself against the propa-
ganda in any respect He mel -ly
states that he does not feel justified in
initiating the great task at this time
However, he directly implies that in
case the District Commissioners see fit
to assume the responsibility, his de-
partment will cooperate.
1T is our intention to request a con-
ference in the near future with the new
District engineer in charge of the aque-
duct, who would likely have charge of
the construction of the Great Falls
power plant We shall offer to serve
him in any way we can in his early
study of the question"

Police Told to Expect Trouble.

Chase. who was employed as janitor
of an Office building on New York ave-
nue., 1t is said, had kept Flora Taylor's
company. for some time. Several days
ago he alarmed the young woman to
such an extent that the police were told
trouble was expected.
William Hazel. driver of dairy team,
reached the house about the time the
shooting occurred, and Mrs. Jane Muir
rell, mother of John F. Murrell, was in
another room in the house when the
tragedy was enacted. Policemen High
aid Reith went to the scene of the
shooting, made an investigation and
hurried the wounded woman to Gar

Flora Taylor died about the time she
reached the hospital. Coroner hewitt
was at the hospital when the wounded
woman reached there. He found that
one of the bullets entered the woman's
left side. and thought 1t may have
reached the heart or punctured one of

Favorable Time to Begin.

ut is apparent that this is a most
favorable time to begin the work Of
increasing the water supply, as well
as developing the power, not only in
view of the foregoing considerations
but because the national administra-
tion as well as the local administra-
tion are in accord that the work should
be done soon. The people of the Dis
trict of Columbia are strong for it. and
it is believed that Congress is favorably
disposed to set the machinery in opera
ton.
The next time such favorable COM
bination shall exist may be long after
the approximate date on which it is
agreed the work should be completed.
1T is believed that the proposition
of the increase of the water supply
alone justifies the commencement of
the work at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
AS for the power feature. the worst
that is said against it is that the
economics of it is questioned in some
quarters. On the other hand, in other
quarters. and in much more tangible
ones, It is considered to be in every
sense a feasible undertaking and
logical from an economic view. This is
not merely a personal opinion, but the
official conclusions of a very efficient.
and incidentally expensive, survey
made under the supervision of the
United States government at the in
stance of Congress.
IF the development of the power is d
wise public policy for the future, 1t is
certainly wiser public policy for the
present. The sooner it is accomplished
the greater amount of benefit will be
derived. The District government, the
federal government and the people %
the District of Columbia are ready and
and light just as soon as it can lie
brought about,

Commerce Chamber Commit
tee Not to Relax Efforts De-
spite Mr.. Garrison'S Stand.
PRESENT NEED IS CITED
BY CHAIRMAN CLAFLIN
Holds This Is Favorable Time to Be-
gin Increasing Water Supply
and Developing Power.

The special committee of the Chamber
to investigate and further the proposition
of having the Great Falls of the Potomac
harnessed has no idea of relaxing it's
efforts on account of the position taken
by Secretary Garrison. according to a
statement made today by its chairman
Roy &. Clafiin. Secretary Garrison's let
ter stating that he cannot ask Congress
he favors it for the future, has not
dampened the zeal of the committee. &C
cor1ng to Mr.. CIaflin.
Mr.. CIaf1ins statement follows:
The letter of the Secretary of War,
Mr.. Garrison. to Commit ssioner Newman
relatives to the Great Falls power prof.
cct, indicates that Mr.. Garrison has
made a very thorough and conscientious
study of the question from many view
points, and his conclusions are most
sincere.
while it is true that there is no i'm
mediate demand for an increased water
supply, II is conceded by those who
have made official Investigations of the
question that the work for an increased
water supply must begin within five to
lively short time for an undertaking of
this size. The wisdom of post
poning so important matter until the
actual necessity demands it is ques-
toned. Suppose the accomplishment of
the work should require longer period
than estimated or that the government
would be less able at that time to bear
the burden fnancially-as a business
proposition, would it seem wise to pro-

The Hessian Fly.

The Hessian fly, of which we begin
to hear early in the spring, with sup
Elementary information as the sea-
son advances, is no newcomer TO the
United States. The fly was hrst no
ticed on Staten island, New York, IN
1776. and is supposed to have been
introduced into this country during
the Revolutionary war, by the Hes
sian troops, and hence the name. The
fly spread rapidly over New YORK
New Jersey and Connecticut, and be-
fore the end of the eighteenth CEN
tury had crossed the Allegheny noun
tains. This gnat or midge, the oooy
of which is about tenth OF an lnch
long. is very destructive to grain, es-
pecially to wheat. The fly has two
broods yearly, in the. spring and IN
the fall. It lays its eggs, % to ~, IN
the leaf of the young plant. -Four
DAYS of warm weather hatch the
brood and the larvae crawl near the
ground. where they fix themselves 10
the main stalk. Here they suck the
sap and the plant withers and dies.
The larvae in five or six weeks be-
come full grown flies. Fortunately
for the wheat grower, the Hesslan
fy has enemies. parasitic insects
which prey upon the larvae, otherwise
the efforts to keep down the increase
by burning the stubble would amount
to little. Among these enemies is the
ichneumen fly. so called after the
mongoos, which is the special foe of
snakes and rats.-Indianapolis News.

COST OF LIVING IN AMERICA.
Higher Than Ever Before, says Gov
ernment Report.

WASHINGTON. June l6.-The cost OF
living is higher than ever before in
the United States, as far as govern
ment statistics show, and is increas-
ing each year.
In 1914 the years cost Of filling the
market basket of the average work
ing mans family was ,S6.6S higher
than it was in 1913 and s6.43 higher
than it was in 1907, calculating on
relative price figures announced to-
day by the federal bureau of labor
statistics as a result of its recent in
vestigation of retail prices.
These figures represent prices OF
fifteen articles aggregating approx
mately two-thirds of the expenditure
for food by the average working
mans family. The cost of these ar
ticles in 1913 was s333.s0, making
the 1914 cost s340.5S, while in 1907
it was s2S0.15. Calculating these
amounts as two-thirds of the work
ing mans family food expenditure.
the total spent for food in these years
would be: 1913, s500.S5; 1914,
s5l0.S7, and 1907, $4,000. The
bureaus investigation covered A i'm
portant industrial cities, representing
SO states. 1t showed retail food
prices in the period 1907 to 1914
reached the highest point in 1914,
while the lowest price was in 1907.
This, however, is not true of each
article. Flour, for instance, was 5.3
per cent. higher in 1909 than in 1914.
Sugar, which reached remarkably
high point in August, 1914. was 7.9
per cent. lower for the year 1914
than for the year 1911, and was also
lower for the year 1912. All meats
were higher in 1914 than in any of
the seven preceding years. Except
for lard and such articles as are af-
fected by occasional changes, the
highest price during the year was
either in August or September.
