SUPERPOWER

1t is interesting to learn that the
coal strike has induced the President
to look into the matter of the "super-
power" project, which has been slum-
boring in the Government files for a
couple of years. The project calls
for the identification of industry
throughout the great Eastern manu-
featuring center, the power to be de-
veloped in centralized generating
plants close to the sources of coal
supply, and distributed up and down
the Atlantic Coast through great
trunk power lines, from which it can
be tapped for the different cities and
manufacturing areas.
The plan represents the modern
ideal of industrial efficiency, and
makes a strong contrast with the
present methods of power distribu-
tons, which are anything but ideal.
Coal burned to generate electricity
in central power houses would give a
much higher return in available
power per ton than is possible under
the present wasteful methods of iso-
lated steam plants, each generating
for a single factory 1t is vastly
cheaper to transmit electric current
over wires than it is to carry coal
over the railroads, and the nation
would save the very large amount of
the coal itself which is now used in
the locomotives which pull the trains.
1t is said that about third of the
carrying capacity of the roads is now
devoted to the transport of coal
alone.
Engineers have considered that the
plan is entirely feasible from the
engineering standpoint. The object
ion is, of course, the difficulty Of fl
nancing the original cost and making
the. enormous industrial readjust-
nlents which the plan would necessf?
tate. AS yet it is probably nothing
but dream. In recent times, how
ever, the Eastern section of the coun-

SIZING THINGS UP

In sizing things up, especially those
having a bearing upon local condi-
tions, it is well to remember that
there is more than one angle from
which a question should be viewed.
Many people err in judgment pure
ly from haste and over zealousness.
Impressions are often formed at
first glance, and unless a person is
willing to probe beneath the surface
and consider all available facts those
first impressions will remain and be-
come fixed convictions, irrespective of
whether they be right or wrong.
Then there are those who, having
formed hasty conclusion, refuse to
recede from their position even when
confronted with indisputable proof of
their error of judgment. That is
pure stubbornness.
But in this town, as in all other
towns, there are many people who
are quick to form impressions, but
are willing to, and do, analyze the
arguments of the oppositions. Often
their views are completely changed
as a result of the additional infor-
nation they thus acquire.
Sizing up local conditions is an ad-
mirable habit, but undue haste in
forming conclusions is regretable.
Best results are obtained by taking
a calm survey of the situation from
every conceivable viewpoint before
taking a definite stand.
Communities prosper and grow
when their citizens adopt this plan.
1t is the better one for this town.

British College men, says Mr..

Americans like to win games. This
is, of course, not a complete state

victory; but as an Interpretation of
the spirit of the two groups it agrees
closely with the testimony of other

quency with which the more famous
American college athletes suffer in
after life from the excessive strains
which they underwent as stars on
their college teams. Scores of Amer
leans who once possessed perfect
physique are now practically on the
sick list because they played too hard
at college. British athletes. it is
said, do not suffer in this way, and
one is inclined to attribute their con
tinued good health to their more
easy-going methods of training. It
is a fact that in America there is a
decided movement away from special
ization in college athletics and to-
ward a system which will turn out
hundreds of healthy men rather than
a few winning teams.

Other PoHers Must Act

While the senate has approved the Four Power treaty, it still must run the gamut Of another legislative body before it can be made operat- i've. Britain can give it's assent to the treaty only through an order of the privy council: Japan can only ratify it through its council of peers, but the pact must be taken before the French chamber of dep Uties, whose attitude toward the treaty is practically unknown. It is said by officials that the situation there is worthy of serious study IL is sugg gasted in diplomatic circles that while France is likely to ratify the treaty eventually, and approve all treaties entered into at Wash ington, attempts will be made to place reservations and amendments before final approval.
