ELECTRICITY TO BECOME WORLDS MOTIVE POWER Steinmetz, Wizard, Predicts Other Powers Recede as Electric
 Engine Perfected.

Schenectady, N. Y. Feb. 19 (-Inited Press )-Water and highway trans portation, as well as railways, event. ually may depend upon electricity for motive power because of it's greater economy and efficiency, ac- cording to Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, "the wizard of electricity.'
 The famous inventor called atten- ton, in an interview with the United Press, to the success of the electric drive on American warships and the fact that this method of propulsion is being extended to the merchant craft. AS regards automobiles, he said:
 When the gasoline engine was first used for automobiles, people pro- testedthey would never come into gen. eral use because the fuel was not readily obtainable. This difficulty was overcome by the simple process of producing more gasoline and es- tablishing supplies in every part of the country. The use of electric auto mobiles for touring will grow in just the ratio that facilities for recharging storage batteries are extended"
 The use of electric engines for air planes will never become feasible, be- cause of the prohibitive weight of the batteries, considering their power as compared with the power of gasoline engines of corresponding weight, he said.
 pr. Steinmetz declared that water power could never completely replace coal and petroleum products for gen. erating electricity saying that eff ev- cry drop of rain which falls in the United States in . year could be transmitted directly into power 1t could not place our present coal con- sumption"
 He similarly characterized the use of the suns rays, tides and the wind for solution of our power problems under present conditions as"dreams, contending that the expense of har- messing these elements would far out weight the value of the power de- rived
 Communication with the other planets by radio was said by Dr. Steinmetz to be possible but not prob able" He said plant of only 1Oo,- 900 horsepower might be sufficient to send an electric wave to Mars, but that the establishment of actual com- munication would depend only upon the Martians having instruments to record the waves, but on there being l Martians.
 "We are still very limited in the art of harnessing energy he said. "Our use of coal and other fuel is extremely wasteful. Our progress in this direc- tion hes raised mankind from being machines to being machine tenders. We have undergone a corresponding mental growth. What we need we will make. Our only limitations are the laws of nature.
 "No one can see in the future. But judging from our remarkable mech anical advance in the last century, it seems certain thae the time will soon come when every household in every civilized community will enjoy electricity,'

FOREMAN PRESSING
 HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Although the mishap aroused some merriment among onlookers, Theodore Thessing, veteran foreman of this sec tion, had narrow escape this morn ing when he slipped on the station platform as train 105 arrived Mr Thessing had joined the crew clear ing away the snow so that passengers could be unloaded or received with greater ease. As the train pulled by his foot slipped and fell. The edge of the platform was scant two feet away, but he managed to stop him. self and averted serious accident.

We also plan ned to name our club, but it was put off until another time. Our county demonstrator was with us Wednesday, February 9, and put on some good moving pictures. Ebeneezer and Woodrow were present. They gave somt yells and songs. The county agent was here Thursday, February 10, and enrolled large number of new members. The club is planning for a good years work. We, the club members, appreciate the good gifts of the three banks of Conway for the subscription of the Country Gentleman.

TAX BOARD CHAIRMAN
PREDICTS EFFICIENCY
INCREASED next YEAR

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 23.-Greater
efficiency on the part of local taxing
officials in determining the valuations
OF property was predicted for the COM
ing year by Chairman John Brown, of
the state board of tax commissioners
after the close of the annual confer.
ence of county assessors with the
state board. Mr.. Brown said he re
garded the meeting as a distinct sue
cess and that its full value would be
reflected in the work of the assessing
officials next year.
Discussion of the assessment of real
estate next year at the closing SEES
sions of the conference indicated thai
property will be assessed on the same
basis as in 1919. While a number OF
assessors pointed to the demands of
farmers for reduction in the apprais-
ments of farm lands, it appeared that
there will be no substantial reduction
for this class of property.
Land, which was assessed above its
true cash value, it is believed, will be
reduced as result of the conference.
On the other hand, property which has
been assessed at a lower figure than
its real value probably will be in
creased to full cash value
Valuations May Offset Each Other.
Statements of members of the con
ferences indicated a belief that value
of city real estate has increased and
that if farm land values have de
creased, the reduction in taxes from
this source will be offset by the high
er valuation of city property.
The question of land assessment.
was the most important matter before
the conference. This question is re
garded as extremely difficult and the
! tax officials will give it much thought
Governor McCray delivered a shor
address emphasizing statements tina
assessments of various classes of prop
erty must be equalized. He urged tn,
practice of economy in order to reduc,
taxes
Members of the conference opened ;
question box containing queries OF
all phases of taxation problems. Mem
bers of the tax board and assistant
answered the questions and interpret
ed tax laws for the benefit of the Sc
SCISSORS.

sentative of the state banking depart
