THE ALABAMA INTEREST

Water power legislation will be oerore Congress prior to the passage of 10 days Alabama is as deeply interested as anJ' other state of the union. Alabama, pos sibly, has more latent power than any other state of the union. Alabama mas the Tennessee with it's Muscle Shoals. the Chattahocchee, with greater speed than any other river with the exception of a few inconsequential streams in New England-in the United States; it's War. rior, it's Tonlbigbee, its Alabama, and it's Coosa.
 With che right kind of legislation all the water rower of these respective streams will be developed. Without the right kind, they will not be developed. The adnnr istration wants development. The people, as a rule, want development ho nt ntteradar rt hanafitS

THE VITAL DIFFERENCE

That is almost vital difference. Com panies may be found willing to invest their money and reap profit for 50 years, knowing that at the end of that time tne United States will not confiscate their property at other than reasonable price, to be determined judiciousfy. But com panies may not be found which would willingly develop at great expenditure certain water powers knowing that at the end of their lease the government would acquire their properties possibly at no price, possibly through confiscation.
 For the development of water power great capital is required. Companies or ganized in all states, including Alabama, will be dependent on outside money. This outside money may be obtained under the terms of the Shields bill. It is said that outside money cannot be ob- tained under the provision of the House or administration bill. The difference is therefore vital And yet the propo- nents of the Shields bill are not more fn- sistent that water powers be developed than tha a c tiop itself.

Mile. Vera Smirnova Is known to
every Russian who has been in Petro-
grad within the last five years. Her
marvellous contralto voice had won for
her the most enviable position in
court life.
She was the lioness Of the most e1-
elusive set Of all Of Russia, and she
was the idol Of the peasants of that
ill-fated country. Her rendition of the
Russian gypsy songs endeared her to
all.
Travelling In the set she did, she
was bound to come, sooner or later,
to the notice of that famed mystic Of
all mystcs-Rasputin, the holy One Of
Russia.
For a long time the man who domi-
mated Russia even more than the czar
himself, had cast covetous eyes on the
charming singer. Finally, the mo-
ment he had long wished for came
during an entertainment held in the
home Of grand duchess.
On the plea that he desired to talk
with her on spiritual things, she went
with him into the conservatory. When
she realized his plans, she forgot that
she was the guest Of the grand duch.

forgot her surroundings completely and

Prince Youssoupov and his wife
Princess Irene, were the intimate
friends of Mile. Smirnova. Naturally
she told her story Of the encounter
with Rasputin to them. The prince,
