ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
vate industrial development of the
great water power resources of the
United States was emphatically en-
dorsed by the National Conservation
Congress, which has just come to a
close in this city. After a stormy
three hours debate, the Congress,
the great conservation body Of the
country, recorded its official approval
OF this principle by vote Of three to
one.
The spectacular feature of the
fight was the turning down Of Gif-
ford Pinchot by the Conservation
Congress, of whose executive COM
mittee he was a member. Pinchot
charged that the Congress wrs pack
ed and was met with the declaration
that his charge vas an insult to
every governor, mayor and chamber
OF commerce president, who had been
invited to appoint the delegates
which made up the meeting. The re-
suit Of the debate-the endorsement
OF the Shields and Myers water
power bills-is taken by the men,
beers to mean that the big conserva-
ton body had grown tired of a
tying-up Of the country's resources
and was ready and. anxious to put
itself on record on these specific

Even the "Tom Thumb
1880, First Used on Balti-
more and Ohio is There.

NEW YORK. May 23-Practicaily
every devise adopted in recent years
for the safety Of passengers and en-
ployes is exhibited by the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad in the safety
first" exposition which is being held
in the Grand Central Palace this
week.
In many particulars. tho exhibit
made by Americas first railroad is
the most unique ever seen here. Be-
ginning with the early days when the
equipment of the company was drawn
by horses, tracing the development
through the period when crude,
diminutive locomotives and quaint,
old fashioned cars were used to haul
passengers and freight, the visitor is
afforded an idea Of modern railroad
equipment and methods Of operation
through working models, specimens
Of roadbeds, various appliances used
to protect the public ar employees
and comprehensive ser 1of photo

the management with respect to

who built the Keolsuk dam as well as
big. water power plants at Niagara
and on the Susquehanna River, have
been prominent in the power fight.
The President and members of his
Cabinet and members Of Congress,
without regard 70 political aifilia-
tons, have been advocating strongly
tho necessity Of legislative action
that will put an end to stagnation
in the development Of this wonderful
resource. Almost every other nation
of any size, II has been pointed out,
is ahead OF America in the use of
water power. This fact, 1t is said,
coupled with the growing demand Of
the people Of the United States that
something be done so that the coun-
try can utilize, as well as conserve,
this vast resource, is regarded as the
basis of the decisive action by the
Conservation Congress.
The meeting was made up Of
prominent experts in both federal
and state governments, senators and
representatives and prominent men
from practically every state in the
Union. DR.. Henry s. Drinker, presi-
dent Of Lohigh University, was chair
man Of the committee on resolutions,
which included a governor of state,
several senator's, and other men Of
affairs from forty-two states.

Legislative measures providing for
development of resources.
The development Of water power,
which conservationists recognize as
the greatest natural resource the
country has, has been brought almost
to stagnation by the failure Of legis-
lation looking to its development.
Business men with capital have stood
ready to start on the hazardous I'M
dertaking of Harvesting great rivers
in order to provide cheaper power
and light, as well Us cheaper fertil-
izers for the farmer and a greater
supply Of explosives for our army
and navy, through the new process Of
taking nitrogen from the air by
means of water power. They have
been met with the cry Of crust" and
monopoly" until, as business men,
they were almost ready to abandon
their efforts. The action of the Con-
servation Congress, however, in plac-
ing its stamp OF approval on a plan
to permit private industry to go
ahead and develop water powers, UNI
der a limited franchise and carefully
governed restrictions, is regarded as
the most important step TO water
power conservation that has been
made in recent years.
Such men as Hugh L. Cooper, the
engineer of international reputation

YOUNG WOMAN'S
ASSOCIATION
IN INDIA
Is Of the Earnest, Jealous Kind
and Should Impress CIarks-
burg People.

To the ordinary traveller Delna Dun
in India Is the station which marks
the end OF long railway journey and
the place to get good breakfast after
q long fast. What q different signif-
canoe this valley Of the Tents" has
to about thirty Indian women students
and few others. They were not or
binary travellers. They we're delegates
to the Young Woman's Christian
Association conference for North In
dia students. Turning aside from the
main road they reached the American
Presbyterian Girls School, where the
conference was to be held for five days.
The teachers and students Of the
girsl' high school were the hostesses.
They had made every effort for the
comfort of the guests, The program
was varied. Each day provided just
what was needed. Bible classes fol-
lowed by mission study classes began
the day. One girl said, THAT which
helped me most was the study Of
Amos. We learned that although he
was only a herdsman, yet God pre-
pared him for great work; SO even IL
we are not in high position, God has
a calling and work for US in His
Kingdom II we are willing"
Another girl said, 1.-THE thing that
impressed me most was that our leader
said we could always do some mission
airy work in everything" All the large
meetings were held in the mission
church. Leading from this "little
church in the woods" was violet
edged path to the bungalow Of the
head OF the mission" 1t was here
that they held their fireside gatherings
each night after supper. They sang
hymns sometimes, followed by'a talk.
There was recreation, without which
no Young Woman's Christian Assoc
citation conference would be ideal.
There were inter-school tournaments,
and one whole afternoon was set aside
as Tamaska day, or stunt day.
The campfire song was sung with
great gust, but the fires OF genius
famed brighter in the dining room
between courses, when extempore
songs were sung in praise of every
thing in general. No one could forget
the beauty of the sunrise meeting on
the roof on Sunday morning. Through
the tree tops could be seen the sun
rising over the distant hills as they
sang ''Holy! Holy! Holy!" and "still.
Still With Thee When Purple Morning
Breaketh."

around the FIRE for the farewell meet

Along with Sixteen Other West

Seventeen West virginians have
been recommended for appointment
as assistant sergeant-at-arms, dooi-
keepers. ticket takers, ETC., at the
Republican national convention to be
held at Chicago, by National Commit.
teeman Virgil L. Highland, of Clarks-
burg, and Mr.. Highland Is advised
that they will be appointed by Colonel
William F. Stone, sergeant-at-arms
of the Republican national commit
tee. Some Of these men have served
at previous national conventions in
similar capacities. One of them, Phil
Walters, a well known and eloquent
colored leader of Charleston, has
served at every national convention

1888 which nominated Benjamin
Harrison.

ing the question was asked: what
has Jesus Christ thought OF this con-
ference?' They were all Of one mind.
1t had been time of fellowship and
real blessing. They realized clearly,
however, that the One who had been
with them throughout now looked to
them to transfer into service that
which they had received.
The national organization shares in
the establishment and development OF
the movement in other countries, par
ticularly mission lands. 1t provides
secretaries of training by securing
their support either from individuals
or associations in this country and by
contributions to the general work.
The primary purpose Is always TO
prepare the women Of the country for
leadership. The foreign secretary's
work is measured not by what she
does, but by what she makes 1t possible
for the women to do for themselves.
Forty-seven secretaries have gone out
from the United States to participate
tr foreign Young Woman's Christian
Association work. The secretaries In
which the worlds Young Woman's
Christian Association work Is now be-
ing carried on are North, South, West
and British East Africa, Canada, Ar
