NEW TURBINE NOW RUNNING
Generating Unit at Rocky Ford Gives
1000 Horse Power

How are your lights these days!
There is plenty of current back OF
them for there's new added power
at Rocky Ford.
The Juice" that heats the fila
ments to furnish the lights comes
from the new 1000 horse power
steam turbine at Rocky Ford which
turned Tuesday for the first time
C. l.. Brown was present when the
new turbine was tested out, and was
very well pleased with the manner In
which it worked. Charles Fritz, con-
sulting engineer for the company was
also present for the test Of the new
generating unit.
Excavation for the new boilers to
be installed at the plant Is going
quite rapidly with the favorable
weather had recently, and the boil
ers will be installed before the first
of the year probably.
An interesting thing about the
United System is that the current
comes from three power plants, Abb
lene, Rocky Ford and Blue Rapids as
needs and conditions are most favor
able and no one except the superin-
tendents at the power plants knows
which is furnishing the current. Your
lights tonight may come from Blue
Rapids 30 miles away or from the
Riverside plant two miles away-yOu
can't tell the difference. The resi-
dents of IS towns and nearly 800
farms have the same current and the
same service as your home. No won
der the United System is attracting
nation wide attention and being
written up in magazines all over the
country.

DON'T APPROVE OF LENIENCY
Manhattan Club Women Complain OF
convict's Freedom


Use Of the "slobber system" at the
state penitentiary hasn't aroused en-
thusiasm among Manhattan club wo-
men. Instead they have passed reso-
lutions protesting against the home
comforts and liberties extended Mil
ton s. Moorehead while serving
murder sentence at the state peniten-
tiary.
Moorehead was convicted Of killing
an officer of the law. His sentence
has been committed from first degree
murder to first degree manslaughter.
Apparently he has known little Of the
hardship of prison life and has been
at liberty much Of the time during the
last few months. Now the Manhattan
club women want the prisoner pun
ished in keeping with his offense and
the verdict Of the jury which heard
the evidence rather than according
to mush ladle prison reform policies.

been domestic difficulties in the way

when the social nature of the post
is considered. Lord Robert is a man
OF peace, not pacifist. He is an
idealist, not visionary. He is an
independent, but not by preference.
He stands for policy, not one of
political opportunism.

Is a wonderful mind. His sense of
Justice is keen edged. Sometimes he
seems almost fanatical in his desire
to be fair. Not only does he see and
put all the arguments on his side, but
he sees those of his opponents. His
regard for others is SO large he
weskens his own case. Fiery in his
zeal for the success Of some ideal,
such, for instance, as the growth
OF the League of Nations, he will
listen patiently to his critics and
then calmly restart his work of con-
version,
Lord Robert is not a great poll

a young lady who didn't look like

"Well, what do you think of
that?" we asked.
"She's got a wide chest" he said,
and that was all we could get out
Of him.
We led another fighter up to a
group of landscapes and waited for
his comment. None came. We
urged him a little.

he grunted.
"But don't you think those
clouds are rather-rather nice?"

fighter broke away and fell into a

he knows exactly the attitude of all

he knows the practical side of inter
national affairs; he knows all the
difficulties confronting the league,
And still to-day he is more of an
enthusiast than ever. Nobody con-
siders Lord Robert a crank or a
fanatic.
Mr.. Wilson and Lord Robert are
good friends. They understand each
other. Had Lord Robert been in
Mr.. Wilson's place he must have
adopted different tactics in his
handling of the Senate. For proof
OF this one has only to recall his
attitude in Parliament when meet

knows the art of give and take, re-

Jimmy tried to be patient and at
the same time drive his point home.
"It's when you get soaked there, -
he said, reaching over and tapping
his questioner on her embryo double
chin, $50 hard you can't get up to

''But I shouldn't like that at ALL"
said the lady, who didn't even seem
to care for Jimmy's mild tap.
"No, I don't suppose you would"
confessed Jimmy in an intimate
burst Of confidence.
''How does it feel to be knocked
out?"
Another woman had entered the
field.
''It don't feel at all, lady. Just
numb and useless and sort of dis
couraged."

Scene Worthy of History

We have seen all this and survive
to set the matter down for posterity.
As chronicler Of the historic scene
we feel that we deserve some small
niche in the Hall Of Fame.
But the public is instinetively in
credulous. We shall have to parade
all the details in full view before we
can hope to gain the confidence or
faith of single reader. And then
only may we plunge recklessly in on
the spectacular moments Of the
merry afternoon
Miss Louise Vermont has s. studio
at II East Thirteenth Street. Miss
Vermont is a delightful hostess and
gifted singer--very much Of q
regular person. Among her friends
there are artists, writer's, actresses,
college professors and other profess
sional folk. For one purpose and
another she occasionally gathers
these friends together.
Last week Miss Vermont sent cut
Invitations to private exhibition Of
the paintings Of James Chaplin, a
young artist whose works have not
as yet been presented to the public.
Besides the art there was to be tea
and music between 4 and 6. Friends
and art critics were invited--and al
most as an afterthought it was de-
cided TO include some pugilists.
Their Place as Critics
Not that pugilists are regarded as
expert balancers Of tea cups on the
knee; nor in the greater field Of art
does fame hang ponderously on their
words Of praise or condemnation, but
there are circumstances where one
pugilist at a tea is worth half g
dozen fighters in the ring.
Among Chapin's paintings, it
seems, theirs were four pTizeight
pictures ---- "The Knockout "The
Count" "The Attack" and "The
Handlers" While the critics were

with this in mind, engraved in
