JUICELETS.

JUICEL LET'S.
The fellow who is always
asked to 'gkick in" has a kick,
coming to him.
Lots of people are good be-
cause they are too poor to be
otherwise. It takes money to
stage a front-page scandal.
Now and then you hear q
man say he feels better for
having gotten something "off
his chest" but the ladies wear
SO little on their chests they
have nothing to get off.
Although her house
May neglected lay,
Her face is made up
With minoFalRva clay.
Don't be so anxious to keep
on the "right side" of your
best girl. Her heart is on
the left side. OIDONO.
WAITING AT THE GATE
wANTED-rm trying hard to find,
And I'm having quite q time
I'm trying hard to find MAN,
Just as fast as can.
Dear H and S, do you suppose
There's a man to whom I could pro-
pose;
One, ohi so awfully sweet.
Like the candy one so often eats?
If SO, he's the one I'd like to meet,
And ! know could make his heart
beat and beat.
II you know anyone who answers to
this,
Just tell him there's a little miss,
Sweet enough to be kissed,
Waiting to ask him for his heart and
hand,
Waiting for him to say she can:
And bet can make him say "Ain't
love grand?"
For I can love to beat the band. I'll
say / can.

TEACHER UNIONS MERGER

The high school and the grade
school teachers unions will merge
into one body II action taken by
their respective executive commit
tees last night is favorably acted
upon by the unions. The executive

HYDRO
PLAN
Special Subcommittee Nam
ed on Great Falls Power
Project.

The first definite Congressional
action looking toward establish
ment of a hydroelectric plant at.
Great Falls was taken today when
Congressman Frederick N. Zihl-.
man of Maryland, acting chairman.
of the House District Committee,
appointed a special subcommittee
on his bill for establishment Of
the plant.
To Visit Proposed Site.
The committee, accompanied BY
Major M. c. Tyler, of the army engi-
neer corps, and author of the plan,
which it is proposed to follow in
developing the Falls, expects to
visit the proposed dam site at Great
Falls and Chain bridge some time
next week.
While no definite date has been
set for the beginning Of hearings
on the measure, Congressman Zihl-
man, chairman Of the subcommit-
tee, hopes to begin the hearings as
soon as possible after the inspec-
tion trip.
! The subcommittee is composed OF
Congressman Zihlman, chairman;
Oscar E. Keller, Of Minnesota; Err
nest w. Gibson, Of Vermont; Will
lam c. Hammer, Of North Caro-.
lima, and Thomas L. Blanton, OF
Texas.
Zihlman's bill for the DEVELOPMENT
or the water power of the Potomac
was introduced in the House jan
uary 8. 1t authorizes the Secretary
or War to construct all the neces.
| sary dams and other works for the
development Of power for the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
To Follow Tyler Plan.
The bill provides that the Tyler
plan. which was submitted three
years ago, shall be followed. The
Tyler plan provides for the con-
struction Of two power dams, one
at Great Falls, and the other at the
head Of tide.water. just below Chain
Bridge. It is these sites which will
be visited by the Committee next
| week.
The dam at Chain Bridge il to be
116 feet high and is expected to
be the main source of power.
Major Tyler reports that the
foundation at this point is excellent
and that the project should present
no great engineering difficulty.
! The Great Falls dam will extend
across the Potomac gorge from q
point 900 feet below the present
aqueduct dam, on the Maryland
, side, to a rock bluff $500 feet be-
low the present dam, on the Vir-
gini aside.
The power from the plants at
each Of these dams would be trans
mitted to a substation at the head
Of Washington, ,chaDnel by two sepa-
rate high ten circuits. The
plant at each would include
seven 15,000-ki t generators.
one OF which serve as .
Power "a mated.
The two pants, ! jor Tyler esti
mated, could deli 5000 900
kilowat hours Of Cd inuous power
at the District pS erhouse each
year. This is moi than double
the maximum rate power con-,
sumption in the Dish ct. It is ex-l
pected that the hyd electric out
put would meet the needs Of thu

OPENS
House Committee Authorizes
ZihIman to Ask Change in
Governing Rules.

A fight before the House Rules
Committee to protect the inter-
ests Of the District Of Columbia
on the floor was authorized today
at the regular meeting Of the
District Committee.
District Day Measure.
The committee authorized Con-
gressman Frederick N. Zihlman of
Maryland, acting chairman of the
committee, to appear before the
Rules Committee in support Of his
measure to require a two-thirds
vote to set aside District day in the
House. Under the present rules a
vote of a majority of members on
the floor is sufficient to set aside
District legislation.
The rule met the unanimous
favor Of the committee, regardless
of political lines. The resolution
authorizing Zihlman to appear be
fore the Rules Committee was Of
fered by Congressman Florian
Lampert Rep) Of Wisconsin, and a
member of the House progressive
bloc, and was seconded by Con-
gresham William c. Hammer,
Democrat, of North Carolina.
Zihlman's efforts are the result
of treatment accorded the District
during the last session of Congress,
when District day was repeatedly
set aside, resulting in the failure
of important pieces Of District leg
islation.
Legislation Set Aside.
During the first District Day of
the present Congress, last Monday,
District legislation was again set
aside in favor Of investigation Of
the Teapot Dome scandal.
The District committee reported
out a bill which has been passed
by the Senate to change the form
Of capital punishment in the Dis
trict from hanging to electrocution.
Congressman Allard H. Gasque. of
South Carolina, was designated to
prepare the report.
The order to report out the bill
followed a short debate, during
which abolition Of capital punish
ment in the District of Columbia
vas urged by several members.

Subcommittee Is Named to
Draft New Bill Giving
Wider Authority.

A definite and vigorous move
ment to increase the powers of
the District Commissioners and
generally to enlarge their scope
of authority was set in motion
at today's meeting of the full
Senate District Committee held
in the Capitol.
Members Unanimous.
All of the members present an.
peared unanimously in favor of
vesting the Commission with more
responsibility and taking from the
District committees in Congress
much petty routine" which, 1t was
declared, the Commissioners can
handle more expeditiously and ef-
ficiently than can the committee
members.
Following up the initial sugges
tons made by Chairman L. Heisler
Ball and Senators King and Jones
which included the proposition that
the salaries of the District Commits
sioners should be made more at.
tractive, a subcommittee Of three
was named to work out the pro.
posed changes in detail.
Headed By Ball.
Senators Ball, chairman; Capper
Of Kansas and King of Utah, were
appointed on this subcommittee
i Suggestions that the District b.
given more independence in the gov
ernment Of its affairs through the
District Commissioners grew out o.
Senator Balls expressed desire thai
some method be devised whereby thu
committee would not have to pas,
on street changes and similar
tedious matters"
Senator Ball said that the Dlstrlc
! Commissioners and the corporation
counsel will be asked to appear be
fore the newly named subcommittee
at a special hearing to give theil
views on this subject.
To Draft New Bill.
It is the present plan of the sub
committee to draft a composite bill
which will give the city heads
freer rein and yet hold them tC
strict accountability to Congress fol
their actions.
| No date has been set for the
initial meeting of the newly named
subcommittee, but all of its nom
bers today appeared enthusiastic
over the speedy working out o1
more liberal powers for the Distric1
Commissioners.
