Stale ownership of water powers bolster up their elaine
none is more persstenty adhered than the possible adya
age to be obtained by the application of electricity for heat
ing purposes.
In spite of the fact that all scientists concur in the state

of the excessive and in spite of the evidence of ac
tests of heating houses by electricity proving utter mnr,
tcabity of high these advocates asse1
that S0mchoo inventors may discover some ne
method by which this desired end may be accomplished
These advocates would have the State develop water
powers in anticipation of this longedfor discovery.
But here is impossible barrier in the way Of I'M;
utopian dream.
Hydraulic engineers already have perfected the efficiency
of water wheels to point exceeding cent. of their
possible power and electrical engineers perfected gen
orators to point exceeding pei of possible efficiency
This proves conclusvev that other method than the
development of water powers be sought in order to
heat our houses BY electricity
On the other hand the utilization of the power contained
coal has been developed only the 40 per cent
under most modern equipment used for power purposes
Water powers, owing to the much greater initial cost
for development plants, have in the possibilities
of increased efficiency of coal competitor be feared and
this fact is recognized by every intelligent water

The meeting of the Kiwanis club yes- terday was one of the best held in many weeks, due to the fact that there was large attendance, and Borden Burr and Capt George S.

 Mr. Burr and Captain DiHgle told many interesting things that they had experi- enced overseas, MT. Burr in particular. Captain Dingle's talk was along the fines of business efficiency in war work
 "When I saw the little children in France, near the German lines, wear ing gas masks, I could not help but shudder at the brutality of the Huns. They have been taught to wear these gas masks almost from infancy, and they knew when to put them on and when to take them off, said MT. Burr
 MT. Burr told of many of his ex- periences, and was very impressive in narrating the atrocities of the Germans and the brave deeds of our boys in France.
 President J. Mercer Barnett announced that there would be a meeting of the Kiwanis club Friday night at 8 o'clock in the ballroom of the Southern club, at which time a smoker would be enjoyed, and plans for the allied army drive would be discussed.
