AFTER THE TRAGEDY

Of course the newspapers were full of the tragedy of Kitty's death for days, but. fortunately, no one except John Storm. Tony Melville and my self were aware that Julian Thorn dyke had known Kitty before.
 Thorndyke. since his arrest for her murder, had refused to talk about anything except give vent to insane rawlings for morphine or cocaine.
 He never mentioned Kitty's name,
 The whole Hollywood colony turned out to kitty's funeral and the curi- osity seekers were so numerous that a cordon of police had to be stretched about the little chapel from which she was buried.
 John, because Theodore Stratton cali ed me to work on that day.
 While I knew, of course, that Lad been summoned to work purpose ly to keep me from going to Kitty's funeral. I said nothing except to tell John the day before the funeral tha t I would not be able to come.

Tomorrow-beside her friends-we shall see those who were unkind to Kitty and those who have never known her but who come through morbid curiosity In the hope that there will be some sensational

The United States Took
 What It Needed

The reasons the government began the discussions which led to the build ing at government expense of an addl- tional unit at the Gorgas Steam Plant of the Alabama Power Company, we have set out in previous articles which contain quotations from the testimony of Colonel Joyes, who was Chief of the Nitrate Di- vision during the war, and responsible for the manufacture of nitrates for the use of our troops overseas
 Continuing his testimony before the Military Affairs Committee in Congress, Colonel Joyes said:
 ''You may say, why did we go in there and get mixed up, interlocked and in- tertwined with 8 going concern so it could not be gotten away, and that has been said, and the reason was this: They had what we wanted there, and at that time whom we were in the war, when we found what was needed, we went after it and took it in some way other.
 "Now, they had there the land. The land did not amount to anything because land is land, and at lots of places you could find ground to build power house on, but you cannot build power house on every corner lot and have it work and work decently. You have got to have ! water. You have got to have place where the water runs right through You have generally got to dig down 25 or 80 feet in the ground to get it to run through and to make place for it.
 "Now, the Alabama Power Company had already installed . steam power plant at Gorgas on the Warrior and they had just completed that, and they had left blank end wall to 1t, a temporary end wall, with the express purpose of extend ing it 90 as to have moro units. They had put in ono unit. We saw their plans pro- viding for it.
 'sThey had led the water for the con- densers in through underneath this ono unit they had instaaled, carried it right on down to an outlet in the river lower down, all concreted in, and some accessory foun- dation structures on the lower levels had been made for the additional extension that they contemplated. ...
 ''They had started tho foundations, tho substructures of the foundations They had also, as say, built the channel for the condensing water to much greater ca pacity than would be required for the one unit that they had installed. They had built 1t of sufficient capacity for three, which is sufficient proof"
 The salient facts brought out by Col onel Joyes are these:
 CD The Power Company officials came to his office by invitation;
 (2.) There was no way for the gov ernment to lend the Power Company the money necessary to build the extension; (3.) The principle had already been established of building extensions in similar cases where the government re- quired power in excess of the present ca- pacity of the plant;
 (4.) The government placed itself in the position to get the best possible re- turn on its investment;
 (5.l The government had no bower to
