WASTE OF WATER POWER
Christian Science Monitor)


 The flood waters which go to waste annually in the great central valley of the United States, and often cause great destruction of property, if i'm pounded and employed in the develop ment of electric power, would render the use of mined coal unnecessary within the borders of the country. This statement has been made repeatedly by competent engineers, but apparently 1t has not yet made very deep impres- sion on the public. Consideration of the promise which white coaT' offers of a permanent solution of one of the greatest ecnomic problems confront ing the nation would not now be inop- perfume.

time-keeper and the referee were in
cahoots. Wiley hoored Harper
again in the seventh round. Although
the crowd made a wild demonstration.
the referee duplicated his trick OF
the third round by delaying the count
Of ten until Harper had time 10 re-
cover which required almost three
minutes.
In. the NTH round Wiley. in side
stepping, tripped and fell on hts
knees, He was down for a second or
so but rs he was bout TO bound to
az him and yelled:
"One. two, three----~-ten. You're
out. and Harper wins?"
II took the referee lust about two
seconds to count out Wiley and then
he hoped out of the ring and was
gong before Wiley or the crowd could
grch him and make formal protest.
That's just one incident that shows
the error Of putting counting power
IN referees. There are mony others

INVENTION HELPS
 FLYER TO AIM
Attacks on German Lines and Cities Will Be More
 Accurate.

Washington, July 11-American in- genuity apparently has overcome three more problems with which the Allies have been struggling since the beginning of the war. As a result of the perfection of three new airplane devices the aviation forces will be far more effective than in the past. The devices have been accepted by the War Department.
 The first and probably most import ant of these devices is one for aiming bombs with a considerable degree of accuracy. The cry for sending swarms of bombing ,airplanes over the Ger man army and into Germany as a quick means of ending the war, has been well nigh impossible of achieve ment because of the defences against bombing planes and the fact that in order to carry out bombing operations the planes, to protect themselves, have had to fly at such great neigh that accurate dropping of bombs has been impossible. Flying at height suf- f1cient to protect a bombing plane out of range of anti-aircraft guns the targets for flying bombers are al- most infnitesimal. That has been the principal reason for lack of accuracy in dropping high explosives into and behind the German lines and on Ger man cities.
 The problem of dropping a bomb from a speeding airplane accurately has been necessarily question of in- dividual judgment of the fiier. The bombs, of course, do not drop in a straight line.
