she can never allow drive like that

case of trouble when they grow up.
None of the boys is less than Is nor
more than eighteen years old. They
are gathered from the combined
scholarship of more than 300 boys
schools and are under the immediate
direction of Colonel Andrew Hero of
the Coast Artillery Camp Command
ant. They come from so far away as
Charleston, S. C., Jackson Springs, S.

PROF. ". 4. COCHEL VISITS HERE
MI, Man Is Now National Authority
on Cattle.

Prof. W. A. Cochel of the Kansas
Agricultural College, graduate OF
both the College of Arts and Science
and the College of Agriculture at the
University, arrived in Columbia yes
terday to visit his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. II. Cochel, S15 College ave-
nue.. the College of Agriculture and
especially the department of animal
husbandry at the agricultural college.
Professor Cochel received his A.
B. degree at the University in 1891.
He then engaged in farming and eX-
pertinent work in Columbia for sew
eral years. In 1905 he was gradual
ed frcm the College of Agriculture
and accepted a position at the Purdue
University experiment station at La
fayette. Ind. After four and a half
years at Purdue he went to State Col
lege, Pa, to accept 4 position at the
Pennsylvania Agricultural College.
He came to the Kansas Agricultural
College two and a half years later and
now has been with the Kansas school
four years.
Professor Cochel, who is one of the
most prominent graduates of the Col
lege of Agriculture, has devoted
great amount of his time to the cattle
feeding industry. He has recently es-
tablished twenty-year investiga-
ton of ShorthOrn cattle that has at
tracted international attention. This
experiment is a study in breeding and
promises results that will be of i'm
pOrtant economic significance.
The College of Agriculture has been
built up wonderfully since he was
graduated, Professor Cochel says. At
the time he received his degree there
were only fifty students studying agri-
culture at the University. Although
he visits his parents every year, Pro
fessOr COchel SAYS he can see great
in the University since
he was graduated.
Professor COchel left Columbia this |
afternoon for Shreveport, La, where |
he will attend the Southern Cattle

MURRY WANTS NEW
STATE PROBATE LAW
Judge Would Eliminate Set
Elements Under 500 From
Court Proceedings.
AN AID TO CHILDREN
Cost Always Eats Up Small
Legacies-N. T. Gentry
Backs Bill.
AN AID TO CHILDREN

Approximately 100 cases VIII come
before the annual meeting of the
, Boone County Probate Court that
went into session yesterday. Judge
Murry said this morning that moth
ing new will be brought up at this
session and that only the routine busi-
ness of the court in the making of
settlements of estates would come un-
der advisement
Judge Murry said that this year,
as usual. there were a large number
of minor cases ranging from So to
500 and upward that will come to
the attention of the court. For the
last several years Judge Murry has
been attempting to get a bill through
the State Legislature whereby these
small settlements will be eliminated
from the Probate proceedings.
Children Lose Money.
Judge Murry says the great ma
jority of these smaller settlements
are cases in which minor sum is due
some child from an estate and al
though such cases bring to the Pro-
bate judges in every county in the
State a large amount of funds, the
purpose of Judge Murry's bill was
to do away with the cost of court
settlements in order that the children
may get every cent of the amount
originally allotted to them
The original provision of Judge
Murry's bill introduced by n. T.
Gentry. Attorney General during
Governor Hadley's administration.
was that all allowances from estates
under 800 to children under IS years
old should be paid to the parties in
custody of the child unless the child
is self-suppOrtng, in which case the
final and only settlement should be
made at the maturity of the child In
this way, ii was claimed, the small
sum originally allotted from an estate
would not be eaten up in court costs
and the child would get all that was
intended.
Judge Cites Cases.
"Here is a good example to show
the full intent of the bill" said Judge
Murry yesterday. During this ses-
sion of the court there is to come be-
fore me the case of a boy IS years old
who has a balance of SS coming to
him. Now, the average cost of each
annual settlement of this court is
about $3.50. BY the time that boy is
21 years old when the final settlement
is made there will not be enough left
of his $S to pay the expenses of the
court.
"Of course that boy had more due
him from the estate in the beginning
but if the whole amount had been eth
er paid to the parties who were keep
ing him or had been left until the
boy is 81 years old for final settle
ment, you can see the great amount
of court expense he could have saved.
OF course these cases are the source
of a great deal of revenue for the
Probate Judge but my bill was drawn
up because l thought that the needy
children could use the money better"
When the bill was introduced in the
legislature by Attorney General Cen
try. it was defeated. In fact. it nev-
er got further than the committee
Later the bill was again drawn up by
Judge David II. Harris and it was
again defeated. Another effort will
probably be made to effect the passage

Fulton's DemoIouas,

On March II, 1914, the congress Of
the United States appropriated the
sum of $4,000 for the construction Of
a war vessel in the shape of ''float-
ing battery" designed by Robert Full
ton. This battery was intended to be a
deadly affair, for it was planned to
shoot scalding water and redhot can
non balls at the enemy. This was the
first steam war vessel built by the
American government She was Chris
tened the Demologas, but after the de-
slgners death her name was changed
to the Fulton in his honor. She was
launched Oct. %, 1914. but her engine
was not put I'm until the following May.
BY that time the war of 1912 was over,

Rina Life Preservers.

"The worst trouble about life pre-
server" said an old sailor, lis that
few people know what to do with one
when it's thrown to them. Many a
man would drown in trying to get
life preserver over his head. The av-
erage person struggling about in the
water would try to lift up the big life
ring and put it over his head. That
only causes the man to sink deeper
and take more water into his lungs.
THE proper way to approach life
preserver In the water is to take hold
of the side nearest you and press upon
it with all your weight. That causes
the other side to fly up In the air and
down over your head, ringing you as
neatly as man ringing a cane at a
country fair. After that the drowning
man can be rescued"

WATER POWERS
NOT COLD MINES
Steam Plants Compete Closely
In Electric Production.
BY HERMAN 3. WALKER.

There have been few questions be-
fore congress concerning which so
much misunderstanding and misinfor-
nation exists as with reference to the
pending water power legislation. The
Shields and Myers bills propose terms
under which capital will be encouraged
to build water power plants. 0ppo-
nents Of these measures would pass
laws the effect Of which would be to
discourage investment In these enter
prises.
Nobody denies the Importance of our
water powers or that 1t Is well to have
them put to work. To be told, however,
as the country has been told. that wa
ter powers are so important and valua-
BILE that a great trust is seeking to
grab and control them all In order that
It may dominate all power using indus
tries in the country. is ridiculous to one
who knows anything Of the question.
In the first place, water power is not
always cheap power. In many sections
OF the country It is cheaper to generate
electricity by steam than to develop the
local water powers. The steam turbine
and other improvements in machinery
In the last dozen years have brought
about this situation The average cost
OF building a water power plant is from
800 to $50 per horsepower. Some
very large water powers can be devel-
- -.
lions. A big modern steam plant can
be built for $40 or $50 per horsepower.
Counting interest, taxes. depreciation,
obsolescence, etc. on this additional
Investment It often happens that It IS
cheaper to build and buy coal for a
steam plant The actual economy IN
use Of water powers Is confined solely
TO the saving In coal and labor bills.
- TOO. the quest,sq Of which kind

OF power Is enc, ct uepenuy very
much upon the use made Of the pow
er. Electric current In large quaint
ties cannot be put In storage and kept
/ until needed. 1t must be generated at
the moment of use. Where electricity
is used for chemical, metallurgical and
other industries which run day and
night, water power may be cheaper,
even counting larger interest and over
head charges. 1t doesn't cost much
more to run water power plant con-
tinuously than to run It a few hours
day. The more continuously 1t Is op-
Grated the less is the cost per kilowatt
Of the current generated Where pow
er Is needed for general utility pur-
poses-house lighting, street cars and
Industries that run only eight or ten
hours day-the water power plant is
not economical, because It's full capac-
ity, which must be used to make the
power cheap, cannot be utilized, and 1t
Is often cheaper to generate current in
a steam plant which can be shut down
part OF the time without 80 much loss
in overhead charges.
1t Is like farmer borrowing money
to buy tractor to do his blowing. II
he has farm big enough to keep the
machine busy most of the time, II is
a good investment and saves him mon
ely. II he has only a few acres to plow,
and the machine stands idle most of
the time, 1t would be cheaper for him
to do his small blowing with horse
For the reasons given a big steam
plant is now being built In Buffalo, al
though Niagara Falls, the biggest wa
ter power plant In the world, Is only
a few miles away. Buffalo's utilities
and industries, running only part. Of
the time, can get power cheaper from
coal, while big chemical plants which
run day and night have located at Nj
agara because for their purposes the
power is the cheapest available.
Where there are water powers that
can be developed and operated advan-
tageouSly II frequently happens that to
use them to advantage these water
powers have TO be supplemented by
steam plants. In some cases one
stream viii have low water season |
at time when another stream is run

ers can lie united In one system It is

Water powers are not always gold

is invested in water power plants in

the profits of water power companies
have been less than per cent.
