For months prior to our purchase
of this vast tract we had been con-
WINGED that a moderate-priced home,

ton where the surroundings fixed
high standard would meet demand
and sell quickly.
The first thing to find was the
correct location. Every tract of
ground in northwest Washington was
considered. A careful study of every
factor which did or could affect it
was made. One by one each section
studied was, for some reason or other,
passed by. Then we came to

high degree of efficiency. There are, however, many other forms of endless .eneEgy which apparently lend themselves to some future utilization. It is fact that steam from Italian volcanoes is now being turned to industrial use. The force of the tides is a further field of fertile exploitation. The heat of the sun as a possible source of industrial and mechan- ical power has long enchained the imag- ination of. inventors. The development of synthetic fuels out of inexhaustible materials has made some progl'ess and would already have made more had the demand been keener. Atomic energy is accredited with marvellous and unex- plored possibilities. Whenever necessity presses mankind for further development of natural sources of power, there is req sonsto believe that not only will mankind not be lacking in resourcefulness, but that mankind will actually have antici- pated that day of stress and have aver'ted it by some power-developing process as vet only guessed at.

SOME PRIMARY RESULTS

Primary results in Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado are in some respects con- tradictory. The unexpected nomination of the former governor, Jack Walton, whose sensational fight against the Klan and his subsequent forced resignation are still fresh in the public mind, for the Democratic senatorship is interpreted by his friends as popular vindication of his record. The defeated candidate had the endorsement of the Klan. In Kansas, on the other hand, the Klan ehdorsee for the Republican nomination for governor won out over the anti-Klan candidate; but the present attorney general, author of a measure to oust the Klan from the state of Kansas, easily won over the Klan en- dorsee for the same office. In Colorado, in the Republican state assembly's nom nations for governor, neither the Klan nor the anti-Klan candidate won; but the present lieutenant governor obtained the coveted honor. From these events it is inferred that the Klan vote is not block vote, and is not to be delivered accord ing to organization endorsements. Credit is due the voters of Oklahoma for denying the political aspiration of Man 1ef Herrick, whose escapades have won the State an unenviable notoriety.

freely to this cause in spite of their dis. appointment at the failure of the Bran. don administration to make it's promised contribution to higher education. The people give freely in spite of the fact that they are fully aware that they are taxed for the same purpose, But if the administration has failed the cause of higher education, the people will not also fail and permit the cause to suffer. Therefore, Montevallo is assured of the desired and imperatively needed funds.
 One of the slogans of the drive is: Educate a woman and you educate 8 family" If this is one of the ideals of Alabama College, how can any person of means withhold his approval and his contribution? It is also of public knowl- edge that last year three hundred young women were turned away from Ala bama's only state college for women be- cause of insufficient accommodation. How can any public-spirited citizen re- gard such a situation without emotions of regret? If three hundred young women were turned away in one season, how many more are there who would add themselves to the number of applicants for admission if they thought the ac- commodations adequate? Does not this thought tug importunately at the purse strings of the people of Alabama?
 The people of Birmingham, Bessemer, Fairfield, Ensley, Leeds and Jefferson county are contributing, with cheerful readiness to this appeal. Leaders of the campaign throughout city and county re- port encouraging evidence of public in- terest as shown by their subscriptions. The money is an investment in the gen. eral welfare from which all will receive recompense. Montevallo is to receive what she asks for, because the people know that she deserves far more than that.

Face Facts
By 5. ADpINGroN nRUcE

One of the commonsst of mistakes is re fusal to face unpleasant facts. It is mis- take that always has more or less serious consequences. Sometimes the consequences are so serious as to involve grave disturb ances of health.
 Indeed, specialists in the treatment of nerv- ous and mental disorders are more and more coming to the belief that many of the patients who consult them owe their ailments largely to their unwillingness to face the unpleasant. Certainly this is true in not a few cases of so-called nervous breakdown" especially when the victims are people in their twenties or thirties. And 1t is notorious that numer- ous young business workers gradually or sud- denly collapse in nervous ill-health.
 Usually this is attributed, by the workers themselves and by their friends and acquaint- ances, to OverwOrk. Often it would be nearer the truth to say that underwork is the cause.
 That is, psychological analysis frequently shows that those who break down are people whose heart is not in what they are doing, either because they are naturally ill-adapted to the work they have chosen, or because more commonly, they are more interested in play than in work. Necessarily they do their work poorly, become subject to criticism, and are denied promotion.
 So far from facing the unpleasant fact that they have made a wrong vocation choice Ot have adopted a wrong attitude to work they begin to pity themselves and fret and worry. From this it is only step to nervous ill-health.
 Or, instead of collapsing in nervousness the failure to face the unpleasant aad ac- knowledge that one is business laggard be- cause of mistakes of ones own, may have as outcome a growing and dangerous bitterness of mind.
 in this way many workers because of their extreme irritability, sullenness and grouchi, ness, soon or late make themselves quite un- employable, In this way, too, many workers degenerate into anti-social agitators blaming the body polite for the ills they have brought on themselves by their refusal to face facts. Outright insanity is at times the ultimate product of this miserable self-deception. Every one has heard of the insanity of paranoia. At the; root of every case of pafanoia is a re fusal to face facts. | Paranoiacs are essentially people gho,r un- equal to the demands of daily life, insist to themselves that they are equal to any de mand. Their repeated failures, which they cannot deny, they explain away by 6tttib- uting them to the plOttings of persons enyious of their greatness. Thus they develop their characteristic delusions of grandeur and of persecution.
 To lessen the occurrence of paranoia many medical psychologists nowadays stress the su- preme importance of early training designed to habituate to honest and courageous con fronting of the unpleasant Such training would do much more than lessen the occur renee of paranoia.
 It would make for an immediate and marked decrease of the nervousness. unhappi- ness. and inefficiency now so widely in evil dence

FUTURE POWER SOURCES

It is looking long way ahead to the day when the suns rays shall be utilized to furnish heat, power and light to the human race. All that is necessary to this .plap, however, is some means of collect ing fand storing the suns energy. This energy may then be transformed into whatever kind of energy is needed. It is thought that the most feasible manner of storing this energy will be in the form of electricity. Although the natural de- posits of coal and oil are gradually be- ing depleted, scientists are by no means dismayed. They know that the original forces which operated to give mankind these commodities in easily usable form stit~exist and are perpetual Mankind needs to discover and apply the pro- eeSes by means of which the more per manent forms of energy may be har- messed and applied to his own use.

Watching The Parade
By JOHN PILGRIM

My old friend Doc Henneberry met me on the street night before last and conferred on me one of those piercing looks in which the most unpleasant physicians specialize.
 Come in and see me-" he said. T want to look you over."
 "who, mel" said. Not in a million years. You'd just scare me to death and give me some pills and I don't need either. I'm all right. Never better in my life"
 So had him feel my arms and watch me expand, right there on the street. But Doc said that wasn't enough. Nobody knows" said he, whether he is all right or not, and don't like the look in your eyes"
 So l went away, laughing heartily but somewhat nervously, and by midnight had forgotten all about it. The next day l met Elmer Dover, who used to be Senator Han, mas private secretary and was once chair- man of the Republican national committee, and told him how well he looked. ..
 Sure" said he. Now, but not so well very lately"
 It seems that Dover was in perfect health. He could prove it, for he took out a large insurance policy.
 Though not for enough to cover the loss, l" said he.
 And has passed very stringent examina- tion before so doing. Just month later he began to feel rather queer and went to his own private Doe Henneberry. Then to other physicians. The upshot of the whole thing was that he was ordered on adiet and rest, under pain of cashing in on that insurance policy very shortly. Now he Is as well as ever and proposes to keep that way. He has found out how the trick is turned.
 Maybe, on second thought. I'd better spend q few minutes with Doc Henneberry. Not that I'm alarmed but he's good old scout and he seemed rather to make a point of it. And wonder just what he meant when he said No one ever knows"
