An Appreciation |Of Mrs. GoodeIn
 Mobile Exchange

T1 HE following appreciation of Mrs. A Rhett Good in a Mobile exchange will be enjoyed by friends in Birming- ham, where she is well known and often visits. She was among the distinguish ed guests at the dinner given at the Southern club recently in honor of Mrs. Anthong Wayne Cook, president general of the D. A. R., of which Mrs. Goode is also a national officer.
 Mobile friends are glad to, welcome Mrs. Rhett Goode back to her old home again and are delighted to know she will remain a month. Last year when on her annual trip south, her visit here was cut short, but this time she has promised to stay, although she is due in Washington next month for the conti- mental congress, the president general of the D. A. R. having assigned some special work to her, and she being a national officer in the society and fa- miliar with all phases of the work makes her presence there for the an- nual spring D. A. R. congress neces- sary. Arriving here Thursday, she came from New Orleans, where she had been enjoying few days stay with Dr. and Mrs. Matthew Brewster, en route from Birmingham to Mobile, she having been in the Magic City to at- tend D. A. R. and Colonial Danes meet ings.
 She brings interesting news of the Randolph Coyles, no eenjoying life out in the Philippines and of how her little grandson, Pat" who will be four years old on his grandmother -Goode's birth day on St. Patrick's day, is growing. Major Coyle is commander in charge of the marines there and they meet with and entertain many distinguished people, Mrs. COyle finding. the world small indeed, when she runs into Ala bamians and Mississippians as she is constantly doing. One day recently she. met Carl Seals of Birmingham, who was on his way to meet his mother, who was coming out to make him a visit, and Major Seals told her he was on GeneraB BReed's staff. General Reed being commanding general of the army in the islands. Mabel Coyle finds life flows on very pleasantly out there, hay ing a dandy house with good, efficient Chinese servants and when she enter tains, it is rather like being in the role of the entertained, instead of being the entertainer, so perfectly trained they are and she says her happiness would be complete if she only had her mother with her, but Mrs. Goode's dread of a long water trip makes this last hope very doubtful of fulfillment.

The superpower plant of the
Central Indiana Electric Corpora
ton began today to supply power to
Indianapolis and other central In
diana cities, marking the culmina-
ton of one of the biggest electric
power projects ever undertaken in
Indiana.
The current produced in the plant
at Dresser, near Terre Haute, is
transmitted to Indianapolis through
two high tension wires carried for
seventy-five miles on 500 steel
towers. In transmission, the power
has a voltage Of $4,000
The power is received at q super
substation six miles south of In
dianapolis Cn the Harding Rd
From there 1t is distributed to In

The substation here covers sixty
three acres.
The power plant at Dresser has ca
pacity of O,000 kilowatts. The com
