BILLIONS WASTED EACH YEAR
That country's Water Power Is So Lit
tie Used Is a Reflection on Citi-
zens' Intelligence.

In the early days of this country the
grist mill was built where there was
water power, and in time other indus
tries also located there for the same
reason, H. H. Windsor writes in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. MnnyIof our
largest manufacturing cities have
grown up around these grist mills. But
many of the best water powers were
so inaccessible. and the surrounding
country so unfit for agriculture, that
no mills and towns have ever taken
advantage of the cheapest mill power
known.
Today. thanks to the electric motor,
Transmission lines, and high voltage,
the factory may locate convenient to
transportation and labor, and have the
water power brought to it.
Every "a hours there goes to waste
unused water power equivalent to the
conl energy of 100000 tons, or 1868.
100000 tons each year. AT n low aver
nce of present prices this waste repre-
scnts S2,O000O0,0O0 yearly.
Switzerland gets her coal from Ger
many. This year the supply is only
tw0-thirds of requirements, yet Swift
zerlnnd will pay Germany over $4,000
100000 for coal. At the present mo-
ment there are undeveloped water pow
ers in Switzerland amounting to 35OO,-
600 horse power which, with $4,000
horse power already harnessed, would
make Switzerland almost Independent
of outside coal supply.
Our own unused water powers remain
undeveloped because the restrictions
our government demands do not appeal
to private enterprise, which naturally
Is reluctant to invest vast sums under
franchise which may be terminated
ut any time. With the financial burdens
with which our government will
emerge from this war, 1t will doubtless
be years before congress would feel
justified In nppropriating the money
necessary to make this development.
It would seem wise, therefore. rather
thnn wait an indefinite number of
years. that u franchise of say 80 years
should be granted, with privilege of
taking over the properties mt the end
Of that time on some basis of valuation
fair to government and owners. On
such n basis development would begin
nt once.
In the meantime the 1,O0O0OO tons
every "a hours, nm absolute waste,
without the slightest benefit to any
)ne.

Naval Lieutenant wins Honor.

Although officers In the military
forces of this country ARE not allowed
to accept decorations or gifts from for
eign governments, the British admiral
ty has Just conferred honors upon
young American officer. To Lieut..
Frank Loftin, U. S. N, on duty on an
American. destroyer operating In the
war zone, has been given the dlstin-
guished service cross. The navy de-
pnrtment announces this rccommen-
dation made through the British am
bnssndor. Loftin was executive otli-
Ger OF the destroyer, which. with 9th
crs, was conveying II number of troop
ships, when general quarters was
sounded rs torpedo was sighted COM
ing toward the ship. Sizing up the
situation. he rang to the engine room
for full speed ahead. Getting this, he
altered the ships course and headed
directly for the periscopc Of the u
boat. Quick mancuvcring followed and
n depth charge dropped in the course
of the submerged enemy sent him out

Tennessee and graduated from the

Benefit of Art Education.

A glimpse at the development of
trnde In European countries, in which
Industrial art has played such an i'm
poriant role. Is full of suggestion to MS.
When Germany discovered Mt the Paris
exposition in 1878 how crude and in
artistic her exhibits were. her greatest
artists. laying aside their eascls and
cnnvases. began designing textiles. wall
paper. furniture and advertisements.
The results of these activities we Wit
messed In the German Applied Arts
exhibition held In nll our large cities
few years ago. BY means of Intensive
art education in Prussia the trade
routes of the world were changed in
fnvor of Germany. Trade in toys was
diverted from Switzerland. in printing
materials from England. and In dress
trimmings from France. In France and
England In n similar way trade has
been developed through attention to
art education.

FIGHTING OFF MIDDLE AGE
Society Women Of Today Set Example
for Others In Preservation Of
Gallantness Of Youth.

II one stops to think Of 1t. just when
does the gallnntness of youth change
into the heaviness Of middle ngc? Why
do all the engaging, enhancing boys
and girls become dull, uninspIred men
and women? Why do We submit to the
changer We bring Joy with us when
we come into the world and we expect
to find Joy waiting for us again when
we go back to heaven. but in the mean
time we walk with downcast eyes and
hanging arms, crushed by the hcavi-
ness Of mortal existence. when. II we
stopped to think, we would know that
the spiritual things make life; that
without love and JOY and unselfishncss
and courage we could not long endure
the daily mortal round of dressing and
eating and sleeping. If there is any
such thing as eternal life, this present
life Is part of 1t, and why not go light
~ through the hours-even when we
stop being twenty-instend of YEARLY

ness, says writer In Scribner's.
1t is "A matter, not of the events OF
life. but of our acceptance of life.
Could the terrible events Of the French
revolution crush the spirit OF the
French noblesse? There were no mid
dle-aged among them in those prison
days when they danced and sang with
gay insoucIance while each waited for
his turn mt the guillotine. They lost
their heads but they never dropped
them, for they knew the secret OF spir-
itunl youth.
The society women Of today main
tain that snme gnllnntness of youth.
Perhaps not every one of them feels
the pulse of spiritual life, but they re-
fuse middle age and nre willing to pay
the price of their refusal. To hold their
prestige they must be slim ana charm

extreme cnses they gain their slimness
by rolling on the floor and the charm
from the hands Of their maids. anu
their gnyety lies no deeper than the
tins of their tongues. Still. In their
courage and confidence they never
strike their colors to middle age. How

they never flnunt dropping mouth or
