All Three Commissioners Graf.
flied That Army Engineers
Indorse Great Falls Plan.
BELIEVE 1T MAY MEAN
ACTION AT NEXT SESSION
Would Leave Water Supply Problem
to Be Worked Out Later, When
Increase Is Needed.

Although they have not seen
the report of the special board OF
army engineers indorsing the
Langhtt plan for development OF
the water power at Great Falls,
all three District Commissioners
today expressed qualification over
the favorable character of the re-
port.
They believe it may lead to legisla-
ton at the coming session of Congress
looking toward the Harvesting of the
Great Falls water supply for the pur-
pose of developing power for electric
lights and other purposes for the fed
eral and District governments
The Great Falls project has contem-
plated increasing the city's water sup
ply as well as developing power The
latest investigation by the War De-
partment, however, was with respect
to the power plant feature alone. All
three Commissioners today said they
were in favor of proceeding with this
part of the contemplated Improvement,
leaving the water supply problem to
be worked out later. when consumption
demands the providing of an increased
supply.
Supply Sufficient Until 1880.
Commissioner Kutz pointed out that
there probably will be no need of an
increased water supply before 1890
Should the District. however, enter into
an agreement with Maryland to fur
nish water to suburban communities in
that state near the District line need
of an increased water supply might
develop as early as 1925, it was sug-
gested.
The Commissioners believe the Great
Fails project to be an entirely prac-
ticable one, from an engineering
standpoint as well as every other con.
sideration. They are of the opinion
that great economies would be effected
through the development and opera
ton of plant furnishing power for
federal and District government needs.
and will strongly urge upon Congress
an appropriation for this purpose
There was lull in the Potomac Elec-
trio POWER Company valuation proceed
ings today, and the Commissioners
promptly seized upon the opportunity
to put In some work on the annual
estimates. They probably will work on
the budget again tomorrow, and ex-
pect to put in several night sessions
between now and October Is. by which
time they are required by law to sub
nit the estimates to the Secretary of
the Treasury. A date for the resump-
ton of the power company hearings
has not been set.

would be favored as regards the use
of tonnage and that neutrals engaged
in entente allied trade or in unsus-
pected neutral trade would be given
the next consideration. Neutrals sus-
pected of unneutral acts, he added,
would not enjoy the usual facilities.
Lord Robert said that the answer of
Great Britain to the American gov
ernment's protest against the seizure of
mails would be sent to Washington al
most Immediately, and that the reply
to the American protest with regard to
the blacklist imposed by the entente
allies would follow shortly.

better Babies"
adjourned

The lecture on "Better Babies"
given by DR.. E. +. Peterson on Mon
day evening last was attended by a
large and appreciative audience. In
discussing the subject the facts were
brought out that the most potent fac
tors to be considered in reducing the
high rate of mortality among infants
are prenatal care of the mother, good
medical attention during the months
previous to and at the time of con-
finement, maternal nursing and the
hygienic care of the child after birth.
AS has been said, infant welfare is
the most sensitive index we possess Of
social welfare and sanitary admins
tration.
Our present Eugenic Law was step
in the right direction. but | am sorry
to say as it now stands it is huge
joke and should be repealed.
/ believe law, sound law based
upon scientific knowledge thoroughly
worked out by the medical fraternity
governing the state of matrimony and
parentage should be enacted, not by
our states. but by the national gov
eminent. In this way and only this
way can we expect to control the birth
of healthy children.
| am heartily in favor of this better
baby movement for it is going to
bring results, if the general public
will cooperate with the medical pro-
fession and the health authorities.
What has been done, can be done.
The death rate is being reduced in
many places and it can be done here
