retiring from the game. He said

Ask for Changes in Water-Power Rules

n UOTING President Harding's dec
" laration for more business in
government and less government in
business" committee of electric
power executives has asked the fed
eral water power commission to revise
certain portions of the regulations for
development of power under the new
water power laws which were pro-
mulgated by the old commission just
before 1t went out of office March 4.
1t was the second meeting of the
new commission composed of Secre-
taries Weeks Fall and Wallace. Just
before the close of the last admins
tration, the outgoing commission pro-
mulgated regulations which the power
men today acknowledged to be about
10 per cent workable, but containing
provisions, which they said, undeni-
ably would prevent the development
of water power projects which the
bill was intended to stimulate.
The regulations as drawn by the
outgoing commission, the power exec
utives told the secretaries, seek to

of accounts and thousands of employ

HIS "HUNCH' WAS CORRECT
Actors Assertion That Someone in the

Proved True.

A peculiar incident happened in
local theater, which provided enough
comedy to make the performance very
amusing. In one of the acts, prohibit

of those fellows who makes reference
to the audience.
"Where is that bottleY" he shouted
at the audience. Someone in the

Hardly had the laughter subsidized
when there was .'plunk," as a bottle
dropped accidentally from the grasp
of someone down in front. 1t happened
just at the opportune moment and the
house went into roarS of laughter.
Whoever dropped it made no attempt
to reclaim it, even though the bottle
might have contained anything from
