DR.. Steinmetz declared that water

for generating electricity, saying that
"if every drop Of rain which falls
in the United States in a year could
be transmitted directly into power
it could not replace u present coal
consumption" He similarly charac.

conditions as dreams" contending
that the expense of Harvesting these

The cost Of these Investigations

There is one investigation yet to
be ordered-namely, the high cost
of investigation.
But another investigation conduc-
ted by the United Press, reveals
that during the Sixty-sixth congress
alone (the present one resolutions
have been introduced asking for 212
Investigations. Only sixty of these
resolutions, 1t is true, were passed,
but the larger figure indicates that
the congressional penchant for in.

Every conceivable subject is COW

desires. Here are a few of them.

Rondon Of the Brazilian army, which

the Commission says:
