GREAT ELECTRICAL POWER

members of the Washington section
of the American Institute of EleC-
trical Engineers by Harold Good
win, jr.. Of the Superpower Survey,
at the meeting last night at the
Cosmos Club.
Covering the area from Boston
to Washington and extending $50
miles inland, often called the fin

posed superpower system would de-
velop 10000, 100000 kilowatt hours
by 1880 and distribute them by
means of a network of high-ten-
sion trunk lines, Mr.. Goodwin said
Now. in supplying the 100000
horsepower needed by industries and
steam railroads in this area $4,000,
900 tons of coal are wasted annu-
ally because of lack of proper cleo
trification, according to preliminary
figures compiled by W. S. Murray
chairman of the survey.

BY LABERT ST. CLAIR.

Vice President Marshall is un-
doubtedly one of the most pOpul lr
men who ever occupied the chair
Of presiding officer over the Senate.
1t isn't any easy job to interpr,t
the rules for ninety-siN Senator'S
for there are occasions almost every
day when the rulings of the Vice
President, or whoever takes the
chair in his place. hit some Senator.
Mr.. Marshall, however, has been so
fair in his rulings and has inter-
sperscd them with so much real
humOr that he has grown into d
real place in the affections Of vir-
tually every man who has served
with him

and vigorous partisan. took the
opportunity to say some nice things
about Mr.. Marshall and to expr, ss
his regret at his leaving the Senate.
In reply the Vice President de-
clared he appreciated the feelings
expressed by the Senator from Mas
sachusetts. but considering the cir
Cumstances, and keeping in mind the
magnitude of the Republican VIC
tory last November. he thought the
Senator was in a frame OF mind
to say something good about any

condition following the nearly six prewar years
when Mr. Wilson's will was close to being law with
his party in Congress upon all matters.
The Saturday veto of the bill fixing the army at
I7s,ooo, was hardly consistent with Mr.. Wilson's
prewar record. The bill itself is claimed to be
also inconsistent with the Republican action of the
last session fixing 10000 as the army maximum.
But that was a maximum, while financial pro-
vision was made for only $4,000, the number now
definitely named. At that time Secretary Baker had
recommended soo,ooo and when this number was
nearly halved, he proceeded to recruit the army to
225ooo creating healthy deficit.
Opinions to just what should be the size of
the army, may and do differ At that time the best
judgment seemed to agree upon about 100000. But
difference Of opinion did not warrant Mr. Baker in
so materially exceeding the appropriation, which
but for financial strngency it is probable the total
number would not have been reduced In fact Mr..
Baker by his excess of zeal for his own judgment
seems 10 have defeated his purpose, if in fact
he had any other purpose than quasi-dehance.

Gases produced by the apples
themselves if not removed by ven
tilation or other means have been
found to accumulate and be alb
sorbed by the skin. causing the ap-

tirely eliminated by wrapping each

During the war Sir Philip was a
close observer Of American activities
at the front and wrote enthusiaS-
tically of the operations of our
troops. He later visited this country
for the purpose of making a careful
study of our national characters
tics. The material that he gathered
enabled him to write a series of ar
ticles that appeared in leading Eng
lish and American periodicals.
Sir Philip Gibbs has been highly
gratified with the cordial reception
given him in this country. He wrote
the following account of his first
experience in addressing large
audience in Carnegie Hall, New
York
Looking back at it now. I know
that it was the finest hour of my
life, and a wonderful reward for any
service when all those people rose
to greet me, and there camr to me
out of that audience a spiritual
friendship so warm and generous
that l felt it like the touch of kindly
hands about me and recovered from
my fright.

1t is inconceivable that the powers

Americans Lose by Collapse of Mark

COLLAPSE of the German mark to
point below 1 cent, for the first
time IN financial history, has
caused a loss OF millions of dollars to
American investors and spectators.
The exact amount of this loss is diff
cult to even approximate, for marks
have been sold in this country, as we'll
as in all other countries, in every con-
ceivable manner, and through hun
dreds of varied channels.
The guess of one banker is that no
less than $780, 100000 worth of marks
have been disposed of in the United
States since the armistice, and that
the average price paid for these marks
was approximately 21% cents. On that
basis, and at the present quotation,
approximately 60 cents Of every Amer
lean dollar put into marks has been
lost.
1t was not until midsummer, after
the armistice was signed, that quota
tons in the. German mark were re-
sumed. They started at ~ to 8 cents
per mark.
The appeal of the traffic in German
currency was directed at those familiar
with Germany and her industrial and
financial efficiency in pre-war days.
With the mark selling at 5, 4, 3, or 9
cents. the point was made that the
