Paris, Nov. u.
The Rhine is not SO great a source OF
natural power as Niagara, but the
French are beginning to realize that the
treaty Of Versailles has given them
something In which the other nations
would like to share. But under the
provisions of the Versailles pact Iswitzer-
land and Germany will have to be con-
tent with traffic privileges to be ar
+, ranged with Frances consent,
SO far as the Swiss are concerned
this Is satisfactory as they want only
the right to bring merchandise from the
north thereby to save freight rates. but
Germany wants to construct lock sys-
TEN which will assure her sufficient
water power In the streams under Ger
man control.
This not only would necessitate the
construction OF a central canal In the
Rhine bed but would interfere with the
French plan to utilize the fullest hy-
draulic possibilities, which are now es-
timated at no less than 100000 horse
power.
The French suggest an alternate lock
system with falls OF from eight to twen-
ty-five feet to meet the necessities OF the
dry season. According to French experts
the cost would be a billion francs un-
less wages and raw materials decrease
in price, but 1t Is shown here that pro-
duction Of two billion kilowatt hours
would be available for less than ten
centimes a kilowatt hour.
The Commissioner Of Public Works Is
confident this force could be easily dis
tributed and that the factories In east
France would find electrical operation
much cheaper than the present heavy
fuel expense It is probable that the
protesA win be advanced simultaneously
with reorganization Of the power obtain
able from the Rhone, and efforts to con-
vince tho members of Parliament of the
urgency Of this movement Is constantly
in evidence.

ne VOYAGE OF COLUMBUS

was near. but though they sailed
straight on for many days no land
was sighted. The men lost hope and
faith. They plotted 20 throw their
leader into the sea- and return to
Spain. Columbus knew OF this plot
ting. but tried to deal as patiently
and as kindly with the men as he
could. Once a false cry of Land"
was given. but despair quickly fol-
lowed this unfounded hope. Strange
sights kept the sailors amused fog a
time. Dolphin and flying fish played
about the boats and fell upon the
decks. But after time even these
amusements failed to put down the
bad feeling Of the crew. and one
night they rose against Columbus and
tried to force his return. But Column
bus remained firm and 1t was with
great difficulty that he forced them
to submit to his will.
The next day brought more certain
signs Of land and the men again gath
cred courage. Fresh river weeds
drifted by the boat. Inland fsh swan
by. q branch Of q tree with berries
on 1t floated near, they picked up a
piece OF cane. and a board and q stick
with strange signs cut upon them.
In order to keep up the sailors spirits
= reward was offered to the FRS. man
who should see land. and with these
signs floating all about them each
sailor hoped to be the first and keen
Interest was excited among the crew.
At sunset their course was due west.

Good Friar Juan was, much i'm
pressed by. Columbus theories and
lost no time in dispatching a message
to the Queen. In fact, the histories
tell US the good man borrowed a mule
and rode himself to lay Christopher,s
plans before her. -,
I need not tell how, after much de-
lay and waiting almost to despair the
good Queen determined to sell her
jewels In order to- aid the brave adj
venturer. You have heard that story
many times. But. now you see how
Friar Juan first by his act Of charity
to poor. unknown traveller. and aft
erward by his earnest solicitude in
the cause of Columbus has a claim
upon our gratitude for all time.
How deeds Of kindness grow! Let
US not forget Friar Juan. who in the
moment Of announcement and fail
ure gave Columbus new hopes! He
did not know when he gave Colum-
bus bread he was feeding the hopes
of Continent. or that his kind words
and deeds to a stranger would make
his name live forever

Everyone was on the alert. No man
on board the three ships went to
sleep that night. When it grew dark
Columbus took his place on the top
Of the cabin.
Ali at once. about 10 o'clock he
thought he, saw a light far of. He
called to the man at his side. He
thought he saw it. too. They called
for the mate. Yes. he. too. was sure
he saw the same-and then II, dis
appeared, and soon they all saw II
again. 1t might be a torch in the
bark of some fisherman rising and
sinking with the waves. 1t might be

by a man. Surely. they were near
land!
What words can tell the Joy Column
bus knew? Two hours after this q
gun was fired from the Pinta, the sig
nal that land was seen. 1t was clearly
in view now. They took in sail and
waited for full daylight.
What need to tell more Of Column
bus record? You all know how he
planted his nag upon the shore and
knelt down to give thanks to God for
safe guidance across a strange and
dangerous sea. You know how the
Red men took Columbus for a god
and bowed before him. And you all
know that the land Columbus reached
was not the India Of his plans but our
own America where we in the United
States live today enjoying peace.

ONE GOOD TURN

~ NE day ai Jennie Davh was
walking through the woods
carrying large empty basket.
Vshe heard q queer sound and a
rustling noise In the thicket close by.
At first she thought 1t was some bird
like the misunderstanding for
worms. or perhaps chipmunk. But
there was a difference which she was
quick to notice.
'1'll see." thought she. and began
to make her way cautiously In the d.
reci on Of the sound.
As she drew closer and parted the
bushes what did she spy but q small
black and white creature struggling
In q steel trap?
Il bet Bob did this" she exclaimed.
"and It's not open season either"
She came close and looked at the
unfortunate little beast. It was q
beautiful cat. whose hind foot was
fastened In the cruel jaws Of the trap.
Jennie's kind heart was touched. I'LL
free your" she exclaimed. In another
minute she had opened the trap. But
instead Of running OF the cat fell over
on IT'S side a. " quite exhausted and
ready to die.
poor kitty!" exclaimed Jennie.
Just then she heard someone COM
ing through the woods. Bob Board!
Jennie knew Rob well and the better
she knew him the less she liked him.
That was the kind Of fellow Bob was.
