ELECTRIC POWER
is A GREAT BOOM

Electric power is getting strong
forward development in the opera
tions of the anthracite industry. II
lends itself to use in many ways to
save cost and add efficiency. Steam
power is relatively expensive and diff

much as electricity can. The Ie-
high Coal and Navigation Company is
among the larger companies that have
developed the use of electricity in and
about the mines to the top-hotch OF
proficiency and equipment.
This company. operating in large
way in the Panther Greek Valley. in
section by 10 miles in area. has in
stalled an 1.0O0 volt distribution sys-
tenn. which includes % sub-stations.
the larger one at Tamaqua. These
sub-stations are modernly constructed
of hollow tile. cemented over inside
and out: concrete for foundation and
floors and fireproof constructed
through use of rod asbestos protected
metal roofing.
The electrical development OF the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company
as regards distribution and substa-
tons. is of the indoor type. AS cur
rent is distributed at 1000 volts,
nothing would seem saved or gained
in expensive outdoor equipment Elec-
trical power is generated at the Hauto
power station-a 10000 kilowatt in
stallation capable of expansion to 100-
900 kilowatts. There are emergency
tie lines connecting the main Hauto
plant with the sub-stations used i'm
case of any failure of any of the main
transmission lines.
The % sub-stations are in the Panth-
er Greek Valley and in the valley TO

lighting; in fact nearly every avenue
of work is linked up in some way with
electrical energy. Even the welding
of broken parts of machinery is being
done by electricity by the engineers
right at the mines. This also ma
terially increases anthracite output by
saving time and hauling to factories
for repairs.

COAL RESTRICTIONS
ARE TO BE REMOVED

The Federal Fuel Administration
has begun the removal of wartime re-
strictions on the use of coal, having
authorized the use of all lights, except
when generated from domestic sizes
of anthracite coal, during the United
War Work Campaign, in order to ia
cilitate the work of raising the $780,
100000 needed. There has also been
a discontinuance of the curtailment of
coal consumption for the production of
trick, cement, lime. hollow tile and
lumber for building purposes. This
action is in harmony with that of the
War Industries Board in removing the
ban on considerable number of nom
war commodities, including almost all
kinds of construction and building ma

WAR MOTHERS
WANT GOVERNOR
To Appoint Statewide Committee On
Fitting Memorial To Departed
Loved Ones

Governor Harrington has been re-
quested by the War Mothers OF Ameri-
ca, who have written to him to APP
point a Statewide committee to work
out plans for a fitting memorial to the
Maryland heroes who fought and died
for the cause of liberty and to raise
the necessary funds for this purpose
The Governor stated yesterday that
he would take the matter under con-
sideration.
The speeal committee appointed by
the Women's Civic League, of Balti-
more, TO consider the plans for cree
ton of a memorial has Endorsed the
idea of Mayor Preston, of that city, and
the Advertising Club for a memorial
building in the Civic Center, but the
committee is opposed to leaving the
working out of the plan to Thomas
Hastings. the New York architect, or
any other one man. The members
think that great number of archi-
tects should be consulted and cooper
ate in the designing of the plans The
committee also recommends that all
the patriotic societies of the State be
invited to assist in raising the funds
and in determining the form of the
memorial
Mayor Preston has announced that
he will in a few days name com
mittee to consider the suggestion of
the Advertising Club, which wants the
tribute to the soldiers and sailors from
Maryland to adopt the form of Star
Spangled Banner temnle.

HIGHWAY DEVELOPMENT
Secretary Houston Says Operations
Under Federal Aid Road Act Must
BE Resumed Quickly

Cooperative highway construction
under the Federal aid road act must be
resumed as quickly as possible in full
measure. the Secretary of Agriculture
d. f. Houston, stated at a conference
of editors of agricultural journals held
recently in Washington.
From unexpended balances of Fed
eral appropriations for the las few
years, from State funds beyond what
was necessary to meet the Federal al
iotments, and from amounts available
during the current fiscal year, approx
imately $75,000,000 will be available
for expendi ure during the calendar
year Next year. If all the balance
should be expended during this year,
and we should have to rely solely on
the funds accruing next year, there
will be about 100000 from Federal
appropriations and probably more
than this amount from State sources,
according % the secretary's statement.
The States, in addition, will expend
sums in excess Of wha they have as
signed, or will assign, for Federal aid
road projects.
1T seems to me-" said the secretary,
that we should take further sep
take this step not only because of the
Importance of good roads, but also be-
cause of the desirability of furnishing
worthy projecss on which unemployed
labor during the period Of readjust-
ment may be engaged. There will be
many things suggested for which Fed
eral and State funds will be sought,

Some OF these will be unworthy.
Clearly such public works as roads
are worthy. and II would be in the
public in crest to make available
larger appropriations from the Fed
cray treasury to be used separately or
in conjunction with State and local
support
There need be no delay in the ex-
ecution of such a program. The nation
has already provided he machinery
in the Department of Agriculture and
in the State highway commissions.
The Federal aid road act was fruitful
of good legislation, and each State in
the Union now has central highway
au hority with power and funds TO
meet the terms of the Federal act.
The two agencies, in conjunction, have
been engaged in devising well-consid-
cred road systems and in making sur
veys, plans. and specifications. The
task will be one of selection. and
those roads should be designated for
improvement which are Of he great
est economic importance. with due re-
gard to such military and other needs
as are proper for consideration. There
is no necessity for any departure from
this scheme. The suggestions made
have been canvassed with the Presi-
dent, the Secretary of War. and the
Postmaster General, and they are in
accord with the view that additional
funds should be made available to this
department and tina. they should be
expended through existing machinery"
