Now, listen, dear old soul: You've

, REYkLAFIk, Iceland, August 10
The boats from the American world
flyers supply ship at Angmagsalik,
greenland, failed to get through the
Ice to the new landing place, 15 miles
distant Friday afternoon.
The flyers were busy cheerfully pre-
pairing for their departure on the
long delayed hop frmo Iceland across
the North Atlantic to Greenland
None of them seemed in the slightest
degree worried about the success of
the future laps of their flight.
Flight Commander Lieut. Lowell H.
Smith spent most of the day study
Ing his maps. Asked if he were not
fired of the long halt at RReykj javik,
he replied: Yes but we have plenty
of time left for getting through. 1

Lieut., Erik H. Nelson, returning
from his bath, said he hoped his next

Arnold was busily engaged in bring
ing his diary up to date. while Lieut.
John Harding, jr, said his only regret
was that he had had to spend so
much time in Reykjavik, whereas he
would have preferred to have the
leisure time in Paris.

study of his maps when a hotel maid
brought him letter containing a red
rose, one of many which the flyers
have received during their stay here.

From the Baltimore News

From the Baltimore News.
Down on the Magothy there is a
spot known to scores of fishermen as
wonderful place. for big perch at
this season. In the Fall and early
Spring it is wonderful place for
pike fishing. But pike don't run now.
Occasionally, however, one is hooked.
j. j. Smith has caught many white
perch and pike there. The other day
he wanted d mess of perch and went
to the Magothy.
Soon the cork went under. 1t did
not look like a perch nibble, but more
like a pike, so he played his fish. In
a few minutes a 26-inch pike was in
The live box and that was put over
board.
He cast again. Soon the cork went
under and another pike, as big as the
first Thus Smith fished for several
hours. Each time he pulled up a pike
At last nine had been placed in the
live box and one lay in the bottom Of
the boat
Satisfied, Smith pulled in the box.
1t was very light. He looked. There
was not a pike in it. In the bottom
the galvanized wire mesh had rotted
through. Smiths face fell as he thought
of all the fish that had gotten away
and Of the one lone pike in the bottom
Of the boat.
Sadly he pulled up anchor and rowed
ashore. His one lone pike he brought
home, along with the story. He got
the 'merry razz' until his wife, clean
ing the fish. called his attention to the

plus power sold through the system to
other companies needing it. Equip
ment, then, will work a greater part
of the time. Many small companies
may find that they can buy power
from the system at less than it costs
to produce il in d small plant. In
which case they close their plant and
continue to sell power on a larger
margin Of profits.
Lower Costs Outlined.
If a company, on the other hand,
can produce more cheaply than it can
buy from the system it continues to
produce and only buys power in an
emergency. A high cost producer
then gets its power for less than II
is now paying and is therefore in a
stronger position low cost pro-
ducer continues to operate exactly as
1t is today except that it is relieved
of the burden of auxiliary equip
ment and has a possible market for
it's surplus power. In any case the
property Is in a stronger position
and should be a better investment
tremendous public advantage
would also accrue from the economies
of a super-power system. The devel
opment of water powers and the or
ganization of systems that supply
uniform electric service over large
areas would make possible the cleo
trification of many railroads. Where
steam power is necessary the energy
could be generated at the nearest
possible point to the railroads and
transmitted by high power lines TO
the point where it is needed.
Needs Growing Rapidly.
1t is estimated that our energy re-
quirements for 1880 will approximate
81 900, 600 900 kilowatt hours. Super
power systems could produce and de-
liver this volume at a saving of s239.-
600, 900 over what it would cost II
produced under the individual sys-
tenn. a saving of some 50.000,000
tons of coal would also be made by
the super-power organization in pro-
ducing this volume of power,
Just now, when we have a tremend-
Gus cash reserve and business is a
bit slack-the Babsonchart shows
general activity at IA per cent below
normal-We may well turn our at
tention toward super-power projects.
And the present owners Of power and
light securities can well afford to in
terest themselves in the promotion
and development of this more effec-
tive organization Of our power re-
sources.

The waltz did not emanate in it's

dancing master. Long before 1880,
the time it was first mentioned un-
der the name of waltz, it was dis
played on the village green's. The
waltz first was danced in the church.
The tombourine in use in this re-
ligious dance was called by St. 1sa
dore "moite de symphonic" and evil

which in the ancient sacred dances
accompanied the flute. a sort of bag
pipe invention, two centuries before
Christ. AS the religious dance Of the

before arriving in its present FORM
In the eleventh century, when the
Georgian rite supplanted the Moorish
rite. the dance disappeared from the

Special Dispat atch 10 The Star.
BY ROGER w, RABSON.

WESLEY HILLS, Mass. August
16.-The possible development Of
100000 electrical horsepower on the
St. Lawrence River, whether the
waterway project is undertaken or
not. has again brought up the prob
lem Of the effect Of superpower
developments on existing public
utility properties now generating and
selling electrical power.
Superpower proposes to bank"
the power of existing producers of
electrical energy by connecting in
dividual systems and adding the out
put of water powers that may be
developed as economical sources of
electrical energy. A single system
has been proposed. for instance, that
would embrace all territory between
Boston and Washington. d. c. This
would Immediately make the same
electrical power available in this en-
tire territory that now exists only
in our larger cities.
Gives Mills More Room.
Manufacturing under these cir
cumstances need not concentrate in
the congested districts but could To-
cate wherever natural advantages of
raw material. nearness to market
or other factors might dictate. Eff
cient, economical and almost un-
limited electrical power would be
available anywhere.
Operating individually each COM
pany must maintain equipment to
carry a peak load just as banks in
the old days were forced to protect
themselves with reserve large
enough to meet emergency demands.
Under a superpower arrangement
with scores of plants operating on
connected system this reserve ca
pacity is not required. Whenever any
one company has demand for more
power than it can produce the sur
plus can be drawn from surround
ing properties. Likewise, if a. power
producer has a ro-electric plant
that will make more power than the
immediate locality demands the sur
plus can be supplied to others.
This power "borfowed or loaned is
measured as it flows from one locality
to another and the individual COM
panies balance accounts and settle
differences. Here We have Federal
Reserve system in the power field
that pools all resources for the bene-
Mt Of the group and eliminates the
margin of protection that formerly
had to be maintained by each indi-
vidual operator.
Points Out Advantages.
Assuming that a superpower pro-
ject is put into operation let's see
what happens to the individual COM
pany. First. it continues to sell
power and serve it's locality just at
it always has. The distributing end
of the business is exactly the same
except that the smaller company may
he able to offer more power than it
previously could deliver. On the
producing end the arrangement offers
several advantages and no great dis
advantages. The emergency capacity
already referred to need not be main
tanned Auxiliary plants may be put
into regular operation as increases
in demand warrant until the entire
capacity is running regularly. The
superpower system will furnish ad-
ditional power as 1t is needed. If
none is used. none is paid for. In
some cases this extra equipment may
be put to work at once and the sur

Time to Harvest Sweet
Glover Crop for Seed

The best time for harvesting a
sweet clover seed crop is when three
fourths of the seed pods have turned
dark. 1t should be cut in the morning
when it Is rather tough, in order ito
minimize shattering of the seed. 1t is
advisable also to haul 1t on tight-bot-
toned racks on account of the shat
tering.
No machine has yet been developed
that will give absolute satisfaction in
harvesting sweet clover, but the grain
binder will probably do better work
than other machines. If much of the
clover is to be handled, 1t will pay to
equip tie binder witt pans to catch
the shattered seed. A description Of
how to make these is afforded In
Farmers Bulletin 1856, published by
the United States Department Of Ag-
rfculture, Washington.
Unless the sweet clover can be
threshed within two weeks after cut
ting, stacking is advisable. The best
plan is to thresh as soon as possible
with the minimum amount of ham
ding, owing to the tendency of the
seed to shatter. A clover huller or a
separator, with some adjustments, will
thresh the crop.
