The suggestion that the employ

that cannot safely be ignored. In
some quarters the feeling prevails
there is danger if the Turks are

STRAIGHT TO THE
 SUN FOR POWER

Don't worry about our 1essening supplies of coal and oil. There need be collapse of the industrial world as long as the sun goes on shining.
 For the sun of course is the source of all power and one way to run our factories and heat our homes would be to go direct to the sun. In an ex- perimenta1 way. it has been done all ready a number of times.
 Of course the conversion of sun heat directly into steam or electricity on commercial scale, and the appli- cation of it to all the various work of civilization is a very different matter from the making of a successful labo- ratory experiment. No one can fore see what practical difficulties would be encountered. It is probable that man will go on using the power which nature has stored in the earth as long as it lasts; that it will sup plemen it first by a careful develop ment of all waterpower resources; by the making a fuel alcohol on a large scale, and that the direct conversion of sun heat into power will come last That it will come ultimately there IS little doubt And some scientists of conservative reputation and high standing will tell you that this de- veIopment is overdue now They say it is only the immense inertia Of men as a whole, their devotion to their habit, and their lack of properly CT ganized scientific enterprise which prevent the speedy development of sun-power plants. - The Nation S Business.
