MAKES PLEA FOR HIGHEST
AND BEST IN LITERATURE
Miss Nichi HAWAI-, Of Japan, All.
dresses Representative Assem-
blagr In V'oman's Club.

That American writers especialiy
and writer's of all European countri.y
In general should set the seal OF
their approval upon only tho hlghesl
anu best in literature. was the bur.
dcn of the message given Mondal
by Miss Nichi Hawai-, OF Japan. br
lore the Woman's Club at its recon-
annual book reception.
The most popular foreign fiction ia
always widely read among the young
men and women OF japan. and the
speaker stated that the danger 10
these impressionable young minds
lies in the fact that they take the
DOCKS ms whole and attempt In
adapt them to their own ideals of
living, instead OF understanding thu
background and conditions which ey
list In the countries which have pro-
duccd them.
The influence OF Modern Litera.
tu'e on Japanese Women was the
subject OF the address made by this
distinguished young woman from the
orient. Sho went into much dota!I
concerning tile interest OF tho rising
testiess gehetation IN books. what
liked. what impressed them and
what did them harm. She said that
they were much indebted to Enaljsh
literature In japan and that a great
deal had been gotten from the,
world.
That nil the standard Japanese
classics wcre produced by womcf,
soo years ago. was a unique fact
brought out by tho speaker The
women OF her country, sha stated.
had not gone deeply into science and
philosophy, bur they were great
story -tellers and writer's of romance
and poetry. Most of the young men
OF Japan read largely books on COM
mcrce, trade and philosophy. but the
grave menace TO the youth OF Japan
- tho so-called popular novel of to-
day, which is all destructive and
hardly ever constructive In It's ideals.
Miss Hawai-. who Is woman OF

duced yesterday by Miss Katherine

Gnernier dreamed his dream Ion
years before he found any one to lis
ton to him. Finally, however. he was
elected to the Chamber OF Deputies
from his department, Ile-et-Ver-
lainc. and once in the national par
lament lost no time in getting HIS
scheme afoot.
The plan is so simple that chilli
might have conceived it. All that Is
necessary to create electricity Is q
large volume Of water flowing swift
ly and continuously in one direction.
To do this the Bay of Rothneuf. "a,
small inlet on the channel, Is to b.

shape of n U, with the bottom point

aud at tho base a huge power plant
rivaling that OF Niagara Falls
When tho tide is coming in the
riEht-hand lock will be opened and
the water allowed to flow In the Z
tide. Then tho other lock will lrc.
opened, thus affording an egress,
keeping the water flowing continue

plant Itself. so that the whole opera
ton will eventually develop into
sort OF perpetual motion.
Guernier proposes to build similar
plants at intervals along the coas;
and thereby to derive sufficient cleo
trcity TO make France absolutely in
dependent OF an outside coal supply.
as we'll as furnishing current for the
lighting OF all large towns, Including
Paris, and the electriilcation OF ri
railroads.
The comparative cost OF the under.
taking will, Guernier states, be eS-
trcmcly moderate. The first power
house is already In process OF cor
struction and the first experiment as.
likely to be made early next year.
