Mr.. Humphrey said that the fig
ure IL had followed the fate of the
new work at the power house, the
first work on construction having
been done June IL, 1917. The first
water wheel was installed Nov. IL,
1918, the date of the signing of the
armistice. The first water was
turned into the machinery Feb II,
1919. Because OF the date of the
installation of the first wheel. that
particular piece is known as the

Has Increased Capacity.
The capacity of the new plant
is 1000 kilowatts. The old plant
has a capacity of 1900. Under the
agreement between the Peoples
Power company and the war de-
partment, there is an exchange OF
power between the arsenal and the
public utility corporation, one
helping the other at a stipulated
price. The pictogram, showing the
amount of exchanges, carries line
moving up and down only slightly
for a term of years until the open
ing of the war. Then the rise is
notable in the amount of power
purchased by the government from
the corporation, and it goes to a
great heighth increasing month by
month until the peak was reached.
The power company performed a
great service to the government
during the war, Colonel Jordan
said, only by its aid it being pos
sible to accomplish what was done
at the arsenal. During that time,
too, the company met with catas-
trophe or two in its own plant,
which affected the situation vitality,
though the work at the arsenal
was not permitted to suffer by rea-
son of it.

cry in the new power house is in

Escorted By Colonel Jordan.
Colonel H. B. Jordan, arsenal
commandant. escorted a group OF
newspaper men through the two
plants yesterday afternoon, the
object being to show the new one,
which had been in operation only
a short time. He introduced r. G..
Humphrey of Rock Island, fore
man of the plant, and passed to
him the honor of putting in place
chinery.
Knowing that a newspaper re-
porter cannot remember "a hours
all of the mechanical and electri-
cal terms used in description, the
commandant allowed the foreman
to give up all of the governments
secrets about the wonderful mech
anism that has been in the course
of construction about two years,
and the secrets are still safe.
II is Of public interest, however,
that the cost of this modern power
house, and all of the work of con-

is approximately S750,G00. The new
structure is 235 feet long with

1t is very necessary that the pub
lie should understand the provi-
sions that the government has made
for the retraining of the soldier dis
abled to such an extent that he
cannot return TO his former en-
ployment. nor can he take up a new
occupation without training for it.
Without thinking, the public Oft
en- contends that the soldier has
done his bit" and therefore the
government should give him suffi-
cient compensation 10 live without
bothering himself about a job for
the rest of his life. Upon serious
thought this same public will real
ize that this condemnation to such
continuous inactivity is no kind
ness to the soldier who has Sacri-

The government has planned bet
ter way, and stands ready to show
the wounded man that his country
still needs him, and needs him to
such an extent that provisions have
not only been made for his reedu-

fession, but that money will be paid
to him and to his dependents dur

The Queen Victoria centenary
celebration this month recalls the
fact that there was considerable
trouble in finding a name for the
royal baby born in the old, shah
b. brick palace in Kinsington,
May "a, 1919. The father wished
to call her Elizabeth, thinking that
TeQm its glorious tradition it would
prove a name to please the people
should she occupy the throne. But
the Prince Regent, who was god
father, together with the emperor
of Russia. gave only the name of
Alexandria to the clergy. The
father pleaded that another name
be added, and proposed the femin
inc form of the Regents own name,
Georgina. But the regent said his
name could not come in the SECOND
place, and, as the empcror's must
take precedence, if the baby han
to have another name ito give her
her mothers" So the princess came
to be called Alexandria Victoria
and in infancy was known as the
Princess 'Drina-a name she drop
ped after her accession, for she
did not want her mothers to be
second to any other name.

tive genius that is represented IN
the Rock river plant.
Colonel Jordan's plan is to utll-
ize the machinery of the old plant
as long as it may be done profit
ably, and then it will be allowed TO
pass and make room for something
better. His opinion is that the
money required to put it in first
class shape, even for machinery of
its kind, at best out of date, can
better be expended in installing
turbines affording duplicate power
in emergency. The arsenal build
ings are now heated by high pres
sure steam. because all power is
derived from water, whereas the
most economical method is to use
steam for power and to heat with
the exhaust.
Leading the reporters from his
Office in the administration build
ing to the basement, Colonel Jor-
dan escorted them to the power
house before allowing them To
come to the surface This by the
devious ways of the tunnels, which
house the cables carrying the high
power wires. BY this protection
the arsenal is never shut down be-
cause of the damaging of wires by
sleet, which plays havoc with pub
lie utility wires so often.
Not Yet Completed.
New work at the power house is
not quite complete. the high water
having delayed installation of two
electric pumps. which will provide
water for the high pressure mains
for fire protection. A system has
been installed for such protec-
ton. which is separate from the
system that provides filtered water.
While the vast amount of con-
struction has been in progress at
the arsenal the fire protection was
not overlooked, and an efficient
system has ben installed through
out the island. Trucks of the lat
est type have been placed in a
convenient location and they are
reinforced by water pressure far

OLD AND NEW POWER HOUSES AT
ARSENAL SHOW DIFFERENCE OF
MACHINERY IN TWO CENTURIES

Eighteen years ago the govern
ment installed at the Rock Island
arsenal a power plant equipped
with machinery of the latest type.
1t was a model plant, which a man
interested in the subject of water
power and electricity might go
many miles to see. 1t has 20 water
wheels and three generators, and it
has performed a wonderful service.
When one passes through this
power house and looks over the
shining brass railing at the whirl-
ing machinery, hears the rattle of
the shafting. by which the power
of the flowing water is conveyed
to the generators, he is impressed
with the fact that the Mississippi
river has been harnessed, and by
the noise one is convinced that
something is going on that is OF
great consequence somewhere.
AT the end of the long building
on the dam, in which is housed
this machinery. is door, the en-
trance to a new structure. When
one passes through that door he
passes from nineteenth century
stuff to twentieth century stuff, and
the average person would have to
be told that each plant was doing
precisely the same thing or he
would not have the sliga,est idea
of it. He shuts the door upon the
grinding of gears, the whirling OF
shafting and the spinning of
wheels, music to the ears of the
man reared in d nineteenth cen
fury plant, and enters where pom
derous machinery is doing the
same work, but two and one-half
times as much, without a creak of
a gear or vibration of a machine
