power, is coming true. The first big
steps are well under way!
The Central Names Skowhepan devel-
opment VIII ultimately produce more
than 20, 900 horsepower-one of the big
gest power developments in the State.
PRELIMINARY work was started a long
time ago. Engineers long since finished
their preliminary investigations and
made their reports, Biologists tested
out the soil, rocks and other conditions
surrounding the site of the proposed new
dams and powerhouse, and they reported
everything 0. II. Extensive and ex-
hausuVe measurements, souudings, etc,
OF the country and river for miles around
were made and recorded.
From these facts and figures, the enei-
neers constructed d small model of Skow-
hogan. the river and surrounding coun-
try. The various ground levels were
represented by clay; while small, fac
smile buildings, built to scale, bridges.
etc, complete to the smallest detail of
measurement, are represented.
When this model was completed
stream of water was put through it flow
ing at the velocity and depth of the Ken
nebec-on the proportion according to
the scale of other construction in the
model On tins model many expert
mental floods were conducted, some of
which in reality would have cost many
thousands of dollars in property damage
and loss of life.
By means of this model and it's minia-
ture floods, the engineers were enabled
TO determine many things of grave I'M
portance. Careful study of all data
available on river conditions for many,
many years back, was also made, for
there are many considerations to be given
the building of dam other than con-
structiOn problems, All this was done
before actual work was even started at
SkOWhegdn.
The needs of the Central Maine for I'M
mediate power development were SO
pressing that il was decided to construct
the new poWeTh0nse first and make the
old log dam in the south channel serve
for the moment to hold water for its OPP
Grafton.
This necessitated building a cotfer-dam
out into the river so work could 0e start
ed on the excavation for the foundation
of the poWerhouse. The construction Of
the powerhouse necessitates excavating
Is feet deep into the solid rock ledge of
the river bed to provide proper pits for
the huge water wheels.

WOMEN EXCEED MEN
IN JAPANESE FACTORIES
$4,000 Japanese Women Work
at Average Daily Wage of Ten
to Twenty Cents for a
Twelve Hour Day.

Ihere are more women in industry
In japan than there are men, accord
TO statement recently made by the
war Work Council of the Young Wo.
mems Christian Association.
The world war has brought $4,000
women and girls into the daily grind
Oh industry according to this state
ment; $4,000 Of them little girls under
n1teen years of age who work twelve
hours at wage of ten to twenty cents
day, that the world may have silk
dresses and munitions.
In Tokyo alone, a city of two and
one-half million people, there are 100.
ooo women employed in sixty-two in
duStrtes and businesses varying from
WORK as telephone operators, clerks,
stenographers and bookkeepers to
work IN silk and other sorts of fac
tories and domestic work.
Each year thousands of these wo-
men go back TO their homes in the
country, broken in health and victims
OF tuberculosis because Of the poor
conditions under which they work and
live, They are housed in dormitorles
in the factory compound. These dormi-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The
girls work long hours, have no recre-
alton and on finishing their long day
go Immediately to bed, oftentimes
bed which a girl who works at night
has been sleeping In all day.
AS mart Of 1arx-;on fo- ,,-o
men, the Young Women's Christian
Association plans to build dorInitories
In manufacturing towns where girls
may live cheaply under healthful
physical and social conditions, to send
out secretaries who can introduce rec
reation into the factory compound and
direct games and social life
This Is done with the cooperation
Of the factories managers and pro
prietors. One of the most influential
Of these Is Mrs Suzuki, the most
prominent woman manufacturer in
Japan, who is owner and manager Of a
firm which exported $1,000, 900 worth
of bean oil to America last year
Recently Mrs Suzuki decided to
employ one thousand women in her
offices. She could not find enough
we'll trained ones so she established
permanent school where japanese
girls may be trained 10 enter the bust
ness world. The greatest danger
ahead Of Japan, she SAYS, Is in it's
growing materialism, and Japans
greatest need, the development Of her
women.

CASINO REOPENS AT
OSTEND AFTER 5 YRS.

| OSTEND, Belgium, July 15.-After
nearly five years of war, Ostend is re-
suming ordinary life as far as possible
under present conditions, with the re-
opening of the famous casino. A few
months ago the great saloons of the
casino were a scene of devastation and
wanton destruction. The buildings
escaped the bombardment that trans
formed so many of the beautiful ho-
ltels and vi3tas along the Digue into
heaps of rubble, and the use of nine
tons of glass has repaired all the dam
age thus occasioned, but the Germans
had plundered and defiled the salons
Every stick of furniture was taken
away. beautiful apestries were sIashed
and torn by German bayonets and
every mirror in the halls was removed
together with the copper candelabra
in the salons and the beautiful copper
staircase. Not. content with robbery
the Germans left the whole place in
state that woud have shamed any ami
NAL inhabiting a stable. But since
then a miracle has been wrought, and
but for the fact that some of the more
valuable fittings are at present only
replaced by imitation,
there is no evidence of the war SO far
as the casino is concerned
