MAY MOVE CAPITAL CITY
Hcrmannstadt Now Being Considered
 As New Capital of Rumania

Bucharest. June 2s. - Hermann. stadt. q city In Translyvania, iet miles northwest Of Bucharest. is being considered as the new capital of Greater Rumania. For a long time many Rumanians have felt that the enormously increased frontiers of the country demanded a capital nearer the western state of Europe than Bu- charest. They want to make Of Her mannstadt. which In Rumanian is called sibiiu, sort of executive Wash ington.
 Hermannstadt was founded in the twelfth century. and has been splen- didly developed by the Austrians. It is thoroughly modern and has a series of fine public squares. parks, schools, churches, libraries and theaters. It Is much cleaner than any of the cities of Old Rumania, and has much more healthful climate.

A problem of greatest Importance
Is to find means whereby heat can
be transformed into electricity direct.
AS things are now. coal must be
burned to make steam. the steam
drives an engine: the engine operates
a dynamo, and the dynamo generates
the current. This involves enormous
loss of energy.
When we have solved that prob

1t raises from the ocean the water

In England, by the way. windmills
of improved pattern, erected on hill
tops, are now used to produce cleo
tricity, supplementing small water
power installations.

Science is Trying to Puzzle Out the Problem of
Fuel supply andFinds the Only Possible Pres
emit Solution to Be the Development of
Our Water Power for Electricity. q
By ARTHUR BUDD

~ another coal strike comes in
April. and is prolonged, the situa-
ton will be incomparably more
B serious next winter than at the
present time, because there will be no
large stocks of anthracite and btu
minous to draw upon. We shall freeze.
Industry, in that event will suffer
enormously, and millions of people
VIII be thrown out of work by the
closing of factories. Coal is the fun
damental of our modern civilization,
which. as things now stand, could not
exist without It.
Already we have come to realize
that our absolute dependence upon
coal involves the greatest dangers.
What are we going to do about it?
There must be some way out, and we
have got to find it.
How about Harvesting the sun for
heat and power? There is reason for
hope that some day this will be sue
cessfully accomplished. On a sunny
day in summer the solar luminary de-
ltvers upon each acre of land an
amount of energy equal to 1900 horse
power working continuously. But up
to date the problem of utilizing this
energy, save in very small way, re-
mains unsolved.
Unsolved, that is to say, so far as
it concerns the employment of the
suns rays direct. Indirectly, we can
and do use the energy OF the sun on
a large scale. For all waterpower Is
really sunpower. inasmuch as the sun
gathers up from the ocean the waters
that, dropped in the form of rain,
keep the rivers flowing.
Unlimited Power Available
Right there is solution of the fuel
problem which bids fair to get US out
Of our trouble. For (say government
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-02-28

eXperts) we have in this country
enough waterpower ready at hand to
turn every industrial wheel and illumi-
nate every street and building in the
entire country; and over and above
these requirements there would be a
large surplus.
Development of our waterpowers is
now beginning to be undertaken on
gigantic scale. Only per cent of
our available waterpower is as yet de-
veloped, but this small fraction pro-
duces energy equal to that obtainable
from the burning of 100000 tons
Of coal. The total of coal mined in
the United States annually is about
700, 100000 tons. Thus 1t appears
that our available waterpower, con-
verted into electricity can do double
the work Of our entire output of coal.
The rivers run on forever, whereas
every ton of coal taken out of the
ground diminishes by just that much
store that can never be replaced.
Coal is destined to become steadily
dearer, while electricity from falling
water, the cheapest power known. will
grow less expensive as years go on
and hydro-elec developments are
multiplied.
When electricity derived from water
power becomes cheap there will be
a tendency for the populations of Cities
to scatter and distribute themselves IN
small communities over wide areas.
The focking of people to congested
centers will cease. 1t will be change
marking a new epoch in the history
of civilization.
We have learned that the small
manufacturing plant may be as eff
cient as one of gigantic size, or more
so. The next big step in industry will
be the development of small electro

ORDER THOROUGH PROBE
Anonymous Letters Tell OF
Smuggling Of Crown
Jewels to America.

Special agents of the Customs
Services were rushed to New York
yesterday to investigate a mysteri-
Gus report that Russian crown jewels
valued at many millions, are In.
tered with the body of seaman in
the Brooklyn navy cemetery.
Reports have come to the Treasury
from so many sources that 1t has
been decided to conduct thorough
inquiry and IL necessary exhume the
casxet, it was officially stated. 1t
was explained, however, that the de-
partmert has nothing material to
substantiate the reports except the
suspicion that jewels were smuggled
out Of Russia, and e number OF
anonymous letters bearing on the
no CLUE OVERLOOKED.
The finding of the gems belonging
to the family Of the late Car Is Of
such Importance, 1t was stated, that
the service can afford to overlook
no clue that may lead to their loca-
ton.
According to the letters reaching
the Customs Service, the gems first
fell into the hands Of some Russian
Yeyolutionists shortly after the SELF
uIS sOI the FOytAt uOuSCtAOAAs A%oseSA g
partnership was formed with some
German soldiers then In Germany,
who made their way to Vladivost0k.
After changing hands many times
they fell into the hands of Americans
who were returning to this country
aboard a transport. When near Glib
raltar, a seaman, James Jones, died.
He was placed in a casket in the
hold OF the ship. One OF the men in
the party, wishing to double-cross
the others, took the jewels at night,
opened the casxet and secreted them
in the lining, it is reported.
RECOVERY PREVENTED.
It was his plan to open the casket
after the burial, or while the body
was in the military morgue at Hobo
ken, it is thought. Customs officers
and military guard prevented this
and the cemetery in which the body
now lies is constantly under guard.
The writer of the anonymous let
tiers declares that he was one Of those
double-crossed and is anxious to see
any plan to recover the gems by the
sInugglers thwarted.
