Water Power Appreciated.

The fuel situation is at last focus
ing the nation : attention seriously ON
the water power problem. 1t is esti-
mated that there Is now about 80,
10000 horsepower developed in the
nited States from coal The govern.
ment experts say that il is possible
within a wear to replace about one
fourth of all the coal used for power
purposes by utilizing easily available
white coal.
The resources awaiting development
are almost incredibly great. Henry j.
Pierce. q Seattle expert, has testified
that il is possible to develop in this
country 100000 primary horsapow
or from our streams, and that with
storage reservoirs the total might b,
raised to 20o,00o,000 horsepower. Thu,
far, only about 100000 horserowe,
is utilized.
On the public lands alone it is be
lieved that proper storage and the in
stallation of water wheels could max,
available for American industry an adj
ditional power equivalent to all til,
power We now derive from coal.
Electric energy can now be trans
mitted effectively over distance ND I,
300 miles. Thus there are few see
tions Of the country where water DOW

Porterhouse Steak.

The name porterhouse steak orig
mated from a public eating establish
ment. IN the old stagecoach days
there was a New York tavern kept BY
y man named Porter. This place was
famous on account of The quality Of
steaks served to lis guests. On one
occasion the innkeeper, 10 satisfy the
demand OF Il certain traveller. produced
piece Of sirloin and served it TO his
@uost-his supply Of regular steaks be-
ing exhausted. When cooked and
served, the traveller found ii remark
ably good eating. and in a short time
its fame spread and it was named
for the tavern and its proprietor, 'Por-
terhouse' steak. Prior to that time,
this cut which comes from between
the sirloin and the tenderloin, had been
used only for roasting.

Hardly an impression opinion, or &C
ton is possible to Us that is not infiu-
enced ana directed by fixed conditions

MI strive to get the habit Of making
the most Of our everyday tasks, and it
would soon become second nature To
do everything so well that in the end
we would be sure to win prominence
through it. The dividing line between
efficiency and inefficiency is largely
right here, and none Of these habits
