 Demand Is Increasing.
 "There is a constantly increasing demand for household electrical ap- pliances. and an increasing number Of homes are availing themselves of the conveniences of electricity. Further, more and more factories and mills are being electrically equipped. in place of steam driven. This all means that the use of electricity is constantly in- creasing Here is a resource which nature has given us It needs but capital and legislation to put it to the service of man. By it's development and use millions Of homes will be brighter and the work of millions Of housewives easier. Scores of com munities will be cleaner and more healthy as electric power is used in place of coal. Thus, in water pow CTS, invested capital can be of real service, and in the measure that II serves, it will profit.

 rent brokerage failures have tended to
 emnhasize once more the continual
 loss suffered by the investing public
 Losses from unsound practices m
 brokerage concerns can be overcome
 by proper regulation. Losses rom investment in poor securities cease, however. only when the investor pe- comes more skilful in the election or his securities. Roger W. Babson says that the investor needs the spirit ot service.
 "The reason people lose money on many of their investments is due to the fact that they select them with an eve only to possible profits with out considering the service rendered., says Mir. Babson. "H vol, will be sure instead, to put your money where 1t will render a service, profits will come almost automatically. I have just been visiting the sites of some proposed water power developments in the Adirondacks and water power to me, constitutes the most fascinat- ing field for sound investment.
 Much Going to Waste.
 'In New York state alone there is, 100000 horsepower available which is now going to waste. The develop ment of this idle water power would, in a year. save in coal the equivalent of a train of loaded coal cars ex- tending from the Atlantic to the Pa cific and back again. The Panama Canal was ten years in building. Dur ing this time the available water power wasted in New York state would have been sufficient, translated into dollars. to have built five Pana ma Canals This is figuring a horse power worth $50 n year.
 someone has figured this waste in the terms of bread and found if i equivalent to 4.250,000 loaves of bread day Thus. when this waste in one state of New York alone is translated into commodities it is found | to be sufficient to supply the bread . requirements of that entire state, When you consider that the popula- ton of this state is nearly one-tenth the population of the United States. you gain some idea Of how enormous this waste is: waste which needs only capital and government cooper |, ation 10 develop for the service of man. #t
 Water powers are a comparatively investment. Tn the case of 2 railroads and even steam povor plants, there is high rate of depre- ciation. If this depreciation is al- { lowed to continue, the efficiency of s operation is greatly reduced. In ( water power plant the depreciation is 2 } comparatively small item. Water $ power plants are almost independent | of the fluctuations in the labor and | commodity markets. This means that a when profitable rates are once fixed oy the company or state commis- iion, the profits are not liable to be ( absorbed by an increase in either [ wages or commodity prices.

WITNESS TELLS OF STRANGE
ACTIONS BY DIR. FREEMAN
CONTINUED from page -

For two months DR.. Freeman
made a determined fight against
the drug and drink habit, the wit
ness said, but he finally started
taking veronal again and drinking
to excess. In June of last year Din
widdie said the doctor visited him
again was not able to wal kunas-
sisted from his car to the house
and made a verbal attack upon
Russell E. Watson. the trustee of
DIR. Freeman's interests in the
Freeman Coal Company. declaring
he intended to make a new will.
At that time, the witness said. DR..
Freeman could not realize the
value of this property or the respon-
sibility to his family.
II thought him absolutely crazy"
the witness said. and / told him
he was under very bad influence"
During the last years of his life,
the witness said DIR Freeman con
sidered himself a very influential
man and wrote letters to high per-
sonages such as the president and
governor and visited the general
offices of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road for the purpose of telling the
officers how the road should be
managed, The witness said the roc
tor had often told him what an inn
portant part he (Dr. Freeman)
was playing in the conduct of ma
tional and state affairs.
Theodore Strong, representing
Harry Mohring, the Freeman chauf-
feur, who was made the chief bene-
ficiary by the contested will, at
tempted to have considered by the
Court of Chancery order issued in
October of 1921 showing that DIR.
Freeman had been discharged from
Trenton as he was considered sane.
Both attorneys Thomas Brown and
Russell z. Watson said they do not
contend the doctor was insane but
they maintain he was mentally in
competent to draw the will. These
objections were upheld. The hear
ing will be continued today and to-
morrow and possibly Friday.
During the cross examination, for
mer Senator Brown asked Dinwiddie
questions which would indicate that
a three-oornered fight. instead of a
two-cornered legal battle, was in
progress. Although Mr.. Brown made
no statements which would make it
a certainty, il appeared as though
he was endeavoring by his question:
ing of the witness to lay the founda-
ton whereby he might establish the
validity of another will drawn up
by the doctor in which the widow,
represented by Mr.. Brown, is sub
stantially provided for. The attor-
neys in the case were called into the
judges chamber for a conference
during the hearing, but what was
discussed is not known.
During his cross examination Din
widdie said he had seen letters writ
ten by DR.. Freeman to both Presi-
dent Wilson and United States Sem
ator Frelinghuysen. Attorney Brown
explained the doctors visit to the
Lehigh Valley offices, declaring DIR.
Freeman had done 80 to object to the
high prices charged him for coal
shipments and protest against irreg-
ular deliveries. There were numerous
