(James M. DOwnum.)
Beyond the mountains sun or rain
We guess and wonder all in vain;
And what the dawning day shall be,
Will come to us across the lea.
And thus it is in life's short day
AS to what holds the approaching way
Does storm or sun await the soul
As on we press to life's last goal?
These matter not to faithful ones,
Whether there come or stormsor sun.
A surer goal awaits the true
Where glorious scenes fill all the
view,
And songs of JOY forever roll
And peace serene fills every soul.

VAST RESERVOIR
 OF POWER PLANNED
Electrical Resources of Country
 Are Analysed

Washington, July 2s. - Principles for the creation of vast reservoir of electrical energy through interconnec- ton of power centers in the north eastern section of the United States are laid down in the report of the en- gineering subcommittee of the north eastern superpower committee. of which. Secretary Hoover is the chair man.
 l The subcommittee recommenda- l tions. published today, contemplate construction and development of steam and hydroelectric resources in the New England and middle-Atantic area on basis of probably require ments in 1880, when it is estimated that part of the country will need 3o,- 500. 100000 kilowatt hours, as com- pared with the 1922 production of 21,20o, 100000 kilowatt hours,
 Although maximum waterpower de- velopment in the section can produce only 25 per cent of the necessary energy, says the report, esta blishment of the system proposed would reduce coal consumption by 50,oO0,0oO tons a year. Other advantages held out are greater economy In production, stab ilization of supplies and creation of larger reserves of power, increased efficiency In transportation through identification of facilities extension of power to farms. and a Tightening of labor requirements upon men.
 The northeastern superpower com mittee, to which the report was sub mitted, was organized here last Octo- Der after an informal conference of state utilities commission chairmen tary Hoover, and the committee, comprising representatives of these commissions, the United States geolo- gical survey, the federal power con- mission, and the war department, was appointed to work out method for state and federal cooperation in pro- noting power development.
 The sub committee considered the resources and needs of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, assachusetts. Rhode Island, Connecticut New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and the District of Colum- bia, and devoted some attention also to those in Ohio. Virginia and West Virginia. Only eight per cent of the existing power plants in the area are inter-connected at present, it found and immediate steps to extend this principle throughout the region are

 The report prepared hy pr, z,

 At the age of II, the nsyehiatfists have determined, Loeb first conceived Of the idea Of becoming criminal. He would lie abed dreaming of being a feeling Of self-nity. From then on he stole and lied. the alenists assert. Ills First Ihefis Loeb'a first criminal leaangs, the report continues. were those Of inc lordinary boy, the theft of cookies, and so forth.

While at the University of Michigan they helped themselves 10 students property at fraternity houses
 Loeb's intense fondneas for books was attributed by the mentality spe- rialists as principal factor in deter mining his later course in life. A story of a criminal who kidnapped Il little boy and held him In n padded room of the attic in the boys home. the alienists report. set teh germ of the Franks murder in Loeb's mind. The report quotes his as saying Iconcerning that tale.
 "I think this started me off on the whole thing"
 The two wealthy students first con- sidered definite action in their kid mapping plot when they were return ing from Ann Arbor, Mich. They de- cided to make Richard Rnbel, a Uni- versity of Chicago student, their vic- tim. Both liked Rubel but because they feared the cider Mir. Rubel, "was too tight" and so would spoil their chances of collecting ransom, and, not because of their fondness for their in- tended victim. did they discard him as possibility.
 Brother Js Discussed
 Talk Chen turned upon Thomas Loeb, il year old brother of Richard, and then they considered his father. Both ideas were dropped however, when practical obstacles appeared It was not a matter of sentiment, the re- port states but the boys feared that their attendance at the funeral and other matters which would require them to stay at home would produce some flaw in their plans to evade de- lection.
 Other possible victims were con- |sidered. including the elder Leopold and also, in general way, a young girl, the report relates. but their de- cision finally centered upon young boy such as Robert Franks.
