EARTH's sALTIEsT LAKE
IS IN EASTERN TURKEY

The waters of the Dead Sea are
very salty, but not the saltiest in
the world. 1t is not. difficult to
account for the sadness of the Dead
Sea.
There are large quantities of salt,
and salty matters, generally, in the
volcanic rocks of the region, but
even if this We're not So, when II
river empties into a lake with no
outlet to the sea, as does the River
Jordan into the Dead Sea. and
which therefore loses it's water by
evaporation only, the water will
gradually become very salty, since
the remaining waters of such a
lake contain more or less salt,
while the water it loses by eSapora-
ton only contains none.
In every 100 pounds of Dead Sea
water twenty four pounds consist
of salty matters The waters of
Great Salt Lake, in Utah, contain
IS per cent of salty matters. Lake
Van, in Eastern Turkey, is perhaps
the saltiest, lake on earth, it con-
tanning no less than thirty-three
pounds of salty substances in every
100 pounds of water. 81,

As an illustration of the world i'm
portance of Mr.. Merrill's work, il
should be noted that he took a very
prominent part in the first world
power conference in London from
June 80 to July IL, 1924 More than
40 nations were represented, and
there were about 500 delegates in
attendance. Mr.. Merrill organized the
participation of the United States
and was chairman OF the American
committee
This was as important non-po-
litical international conference as has
been held in recent years, for topics
were discussed of economic impor-
lance by the leading experts of the
world on each particular subject 1t
afforded a reliable index of the reIa-
tive industrial possibilities of the
countries, as well as of their indus
trial development and depletion Of
resources
A resolution offered by Great Brit
tain and seconded by the United
States. and unanimously adopted was
as follows: This conference is of
the opinion that the worlds most cry
ing need today is greater production
and manufacturing activity among
its peoples under conditions which
will promote individual prosperity
and happiness, and that this can be
largely achieved by the fuller de-
velopment of national power re-
sources and by the establishment of
the most economical means for the

proves able on the Job:
Federal administration of the water
power resources.
The security OF millions and even

Proper national development of a

His work involves such important
and even staggering responsibilities
as these:
Disposition of all water-power
rights and privileges within the
jurisdiction of the Federal Govern
ment, which means IS per cent of the
total water-power resources of the
United States.
Disposition of approximately $1,000
600 acres of public lands in power

istl alton, resigned from the executive
| council when Green was elected
Whether dissatisfaction will accom-
|! pany this action is problematical
Duncan was spoken Of for the presi-
dency more than once. Ten years
been no question as to his choice to
succeed Gompers.
If Duncan on the floor of the con-
vention can draw sufficient of the
conservative followers into an alli-
ance with disaffected groups, there
may be some serious knots to un-
tangle. 1t is another problem for the
future-possibly the least weishty
when lined up with others mentioned
Thus the new position Of the Fed
Grafton of Labor looms up. A con-
structive progressive is at the wheel
He has one of the largest unions of
the federation-the miners, controll-
ing 1000 Of a total $4,000 votes In

whole-heartedly behind him. He has
the executive council behind him.
Tor the executive council picked him
He has ideas to breach and problems
to meet. And, best of all, he has the
heritage left him by Samuel Com
pers, national respect for the labor
movement, and an open, unbiased
public field to fight future battles on.
Further expansion awaits the Amer
lean Federation of Labor If there are
no missteps. But, taken all in all,
the path for future growth seems
fraught with pitfalls, and any slip
may be fatal, not only to the leader
but also to the movement he leads.

continued from FIRST Page
Gompers was in the chair of the
American Federation of Labor the
railroad brotherhoods, with their
powerful influence, could proba bly, be
counted upon to become affiliated wit h
the American Federation of Labor.
Now miner, a member of a group
openly opposing the brotherhoods. is
In the chair. And another problem
presents itself. Can Green, through
diplomatic craftsmanship, smooth
over the trouble between miners and
brotherhoodS to such an extent that
the latter will affiliate with the
American Federation of Labor?
During the last years of Gompers'
administration, only one serious
threat at taking the power from his
hands was made This was few
years ago, when John l. Lewis, pres
ident of the United Mine Workers,
ran against him for the presidency.
Those were anxious days for the
stand pat conservatives in their
seats of power in the federation. The
threat failed. But it had the effect
of convincing those in the Gompers
administration that there was quite
n group to be COPIED with should any
trouble threaten in the future.
Green, attaining the presidency
from the hands of the executive coun-
ell, which was d Gompers group
through and through, has the added
advantage of his close association
with John L. Lewis, a power among
the progressives on the floor of the
convention. This coalition-of Com
pers' conservatives and Lewis pro-
Gressives-is looked forward to as
being of inestimable value to the
new administration.

German Oil Engine
Largest Ever Built

What is probably the largest and
most powerful oil engine in the
woild is now under construction by
the firm of Blohm & Voss, Ham,
burg.
This engine, which has been order
ed for the electric power station at
Hamburg. will develop $4,000 horse
power, while the largest internal
combustion motor built hitherto de-
velops only 5000 horsepower, this last
named having been constructed in
England.
The giant German engine is nine
cylinder, double acting, two-stroke
motor, constructed from the latest
designs of the Augsburg Nuramburg
machine works, whose license the
Hamburg firm holds. With a dame
eter of 331a inches each cylinder de-
velops 1870 horsepower, whereas an
output Of 1000 horsepower per cylin-
der previously has been considered
remarkable.
Although the big engine is to be
employed in a power station, it could
be adapted for propelling simply by
fitting reversing gear. Its construc-
ton opens up new possibilities for
the development of motor shipping.
for two such engines installed in a
ship would develop 10000 horsepower,
which exceeds the power generated
by the steam machinery of many fast
ocean liners.
