tries. Factories were running on half time and laborers were taken off jobs. I take some degree of pride
 in the accomplishment of the Ala bama Power company at that mo- ment.
 The government owned a steam plant at Sheffield of some S0,O00 horse power capacity. It was idle. The power company presented the facts to the Secretary of War and sought lease of this plant. The Secretary of War sent his engineers
 into the Carolinas and Georgia To investigate the situation and found a shortage of power as had been signed the lease, revocable at any time. and the Alabama Power com pany began the operation of this great steam plant, sending the power by relays to the mills of North Caro- lina.
 During the existence of this lease the southern states need not fear again that their industries will be idle. The Alabama Power company is in a position to be of assistance to them.
 "In the report considering the en- tire Muscle Shoals situation the en- gineers ended the report as follows;
 Ut, therefore. appears that a broad and founded judgment would dictate that the Muscle Shoals development should be intercon- nected for exchange of power wirh the existing power system of the southern states, and that this inter- connection and exchange should De arranged for without delay, so that future construction, both at Muscle Shoals and elsewhere. can be directed for the production of plants which will supplement each other for economy of construction and opera tion.'
 If you were planning a super power project for the northeastern states, superpower project which would realize the vast possibilities which MT. Hoover argued to the ca binet last Friday, would you leave out of it the great power of Niagara Falls?
 If you were planning super power project for the southern states so as to assure your industries of continuous operation with power sup piled by a great system that could not fail, would you leave out of it the power of Muscle Shoals?
 "I need not detail to you the mar vicious progress in the use of cleo tricity during the past few years. l venture to say that within the next ten years the railroads of the south err states will be electrified. That time will be shortened as soon as the owners of these properties can be assured of never -ceasing supply Of power They cannot be thus as- sured without the realization of this great super-power project"

The story thus far
 Camille Westbrook has gone to South Africa with Dolly Mortimer, her little butterfly friend, who has made the trip from London to join her husband at Johannesburg. El- liot Glyn, in love with Camille. has made the trip with them. Camille has in her possession valuable ring which she has accepted as security for a loan from Reggie Van Tuyl' q young man about town always In financial difficulties On shipboard and In South Africa attempts are made to get the ring from her. and on the lawn after dinner at Lady Kil- morny's. at Durban, Camille one night thinks she sees Reggie's face behind the hedge. Elliot sees her push through the hedge to investi- gate and thinks she is meeting Reg gie and is hurt. However, they make matters up later on and then start on motor ride through the Valley of a Thousand Hills to the home of a widower, a friend of Elliot's. Just as they are about to go into dinner that night a late guest. who is to be Camille's partner, arrived. It is Reggie Van Tuyl.
 At dinner Reggie tries to give the impression that there is an under standing between himself and Ca mille, and he denies her assertion that she has seen him, in South Af- rica, saying he has only that morning arrived.
 They all take the same sleeper for Johannesburg. As they are going to bed that night Reggie. as if by acci- dent, gives Elliot shove so that he falls off the moving train.
 Glyn lands In pile of hay and is uninjured and climbs back aboard the train. Next morning at breakfast Reggie seems upset.
 He Is much surprised and when Glyn turned up and insists on treat ing the incident as an accident.
 That day Elliot makes Camille promise to marry him.
 They reach Johannesburg and Ca- mille tells Reggie she's engaged.
 Camille flushed sensitively when Reggie referred to the money she had lent him.
 T didn't mean that" She spoke gently. "The ring is valuable, and it was nearly stolen from me twice. " She had already recounted to him

project for the states between Boston and Washington. Thus the impend ing crisis of the coal strike brought to the front again the genius of Hoover. He knew of the report made in 1921 by engineers after survey of the electric power systems on the Atlantic seaboard, and the thought that if this superpower prof. ect existed; if the different water sheds were linked together and sup ported in dry weather by steam plants at the mouth of the coal mines; if every important industry were located on this great system; if railroads were electrified; if this great power project were today a reality. the country to a great extent would be independent of the strife between the coal operator and the miner.
 Hoover, the engineer and the or ganizer, was so impressed by this report that he presented it to the cabinet and the meeting was largely taken up with the discussion of this grea project

 NO. You can keep it till I've scraped up $500 to buy it back from you" He had no wish to have the stone in his possession in Johannes burg, for reasons best known to him self. Don't let anyone round here know that it belongs to me-
 She hesltated.
 I'm not sure that MT. Glyn wants me to keep it, though, personally, the ring fascinates me- she confessed.
 "Glyn? You told him it was mine? ?'' Reggie spoke sharply.
 Yes The night your double peered through the hedge in Durban was so frightened"
 "Pooh Did you tell him that you'd lent me three hundred?"
 NO"
 Then don't. It's our secret" Reg gie seemed relieved. Changing his tone he added, gently:
 'I say Camille. do tell me some thing If you'd never met that chap did I stand any chance? At one time you were fond of me. I swear you were. If he hadn't come along-?"

 At o'clock the following after noon, Glyn called for Camille, and took her to the gold mines, for which Johannesburg is famous.
 They drove in an ancient landau lette, and the Dutch driver urged his meagre horses to a brisk pace.
 Arrived at their destination, they were welcomed by the assistant man ager, who was a friend of Glyn's.

 Camille assented, and donned the necessary "dungarees" above her clothes.

HOUSE TO REST
AS 'REWARD' FOR
PASSING BILL
Treasury Appropriation of
S169,O00,000 Was Hurried
Through.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-As a reward
for good behavior" in sticking on the
job to get the treasury appropriation bill
passed late yesterday, members of the
House were permitted to take a rest
today.
When this bill, carrying approximately
$3.50 100000, was taken up by the House
Thursday, it was the plan of leaders
that its consideration would run into
Saturday. Rapid progress was made
with the measure, however and Chair
man Mac len of the Appropriations Com
mittee held out the promise that if the
members would stay on the job and COM
plete the bill before demanding the
closing of the session for the day, he
would help get the adjournment.
The scheme fell in with the plans Of
Democrats, who are fighting to delay
action as long as possible on the Dyer
anti-lynching bin and they lined up with
Madden.
