HEAT
PLANT BEING
JUNKED
Project Intended to Supply All
U. S. Departments Is to
Be Abandoned

The junking of all that remains
of the partially completed central
heating and power plant projected
at the foot of Fourteenth street
southwest soon will be an accom-
plished fact.
Part of the material already has
been salvaged and sold, including
the pipes that were laid between
the Treasury Department and the
plant. The main part of the
equipment soon Is to lie disposed
of.
For more than four years the
Treasury Department has been
waiting for Congress to pass legis.
lation either authorizing the COM
pletion of the plant or it's dis.
mantling. Now the department
officials are going ahead on their
own account.
1t was in 1918 that Congress
man John H. Fitzgerald. of New
! York, in cooperation with Assist
ant Secretary Of the Treasury
Bailey, had legislation passed
authorizing the building of a plant
which would supply all OF the Gov.
eminent departments in the city
! with heat and power.
After bitter light In Congress
, an appropriation finally was oh.
I tanned and construction Of the
plant began. More than 5000, 900
was spent and its operation seemed
to be assured when the world war
came on and the opponents of the
project were given a favorable
opportunity to block it.
When Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo returned from his trip to
South America in 1917 he listened
TO representations made by the
Finance Commission and other
orga nizations against the PROJECT
and ordered that all work upcn it
be stopped 1t was feared that the
smoke stack would mar the beauty
of the city's skyline and many
other objections, artistic and other
wise, were urged against it.
The champions Of the project
have tried several times to have
Congress grant additional appropri.
atoms TO complete the plant. Ac-
cording 10 officials Of the Treasury
Department a central heating plant
would have been paying PROPOSE
! ton during the war. but would

MIGHT HAVE CANADA Would Have Been Coded In 17S2 Had 2. Peace Commission Insisted

5y How the fate of Michigan and other lands located in the northwest terri tory was settled at the peace conference in Paris in 1782 was told recently by c. NJ. Burton, founder of the Burton Historical Library at Detroit, at the annual mid-winter meeting of the Mich igan Pioneer and Historical society, says the Detroit News. -
 But for the failure of the American commissioners to insist on it the entire continent might have been ceded to the United States, said Mir. Burton, who quoted q letter written by Richard Os- Hald, one of the British commission CTS. to that effect. Mir. Oswald wrote
 That this (the cession of all Canada and east F1orida) must have been granted, if insisted upon, think is past all doubt, considering the present un- happy situation of things. But nothing of the tendency ever was insisted upon by the Americans, who contrarily acknowledged as unimpeachable our rights to those colonies which did not revolt
 Franklin was the dominant figure of the conference, according to Mir. Bur- ton. who said the Philadelphian' strategy at the peace table led Stratchey one of the Britons. to exclaim in despair at the conclusion of the sitting, God forbid I should ever have hand in another peace."

WONIAN'S POWER IN ORIENT History and Culture of East Reflect
 Feminine Influence

Women of the Orient, though they may have lived in yelled seclusiOn, have. none the less, exerted a vast influence on the history and the culture of the East. says the Orient.
 Mohammedanism, finally, gave a se- cluded life to women. Originally the faith raised their status in the near East and when, just after the prophets day, Islam spread into Central Asia, it was decreed that a mountain in Persia should be kept sacred to women mind ed to pray and no male allowed to climb it's slopes.
 Through long centuries the fair sex in Japan held an honored position, one greatly different from their position in modern times. It is unlikely that any western land has brought forth nearly so many ladies distinguished in litera- ture as the empire of the rising sun. In old Chinese books Japan is frequently spoken of as the empress country, for her scepter was repeatedly swayed by woman,

SELL YOUTH TO PAY RENT House Shortage And High Rentals Add To New Works Child Workers

New York is taking stock of its child toilers, 'the little old men and women of the tenemehts," whose ages range from 2 to 10 years old and whose pennies go into the fund that provides food and shelter for the family. says the Detroit News. as [
 It has been the belief that child labor was practically eliminated in New York years ago; that the sweat shop" belonged to the past era. The present investigation however, shows that spending their time in play, pass it making paper flowers, doing embroid- cry, "clocking' stockings, pasting la bels, cracking nuts, sewing and all the other labor that can be done in rooms cluttered up with the impedimenta of congested living.
 It has been found also that the re- turns from tie baby fingers are just as pitiful as they were in the past. June roses" bring a dime a gross.
 The pay for other work is cores bonding. By sacrificing health and the natural rights of childhood the total income is increased only few dollars . week.
 Greed is back of all this 1; not. though in some cases it is, the greed of families for more wealth, but the greed of those who provide the shell ter that is the lot of the poor. 1n- creased rents take so much of the income of the wage-earner that other members of the family must assist, else all will be eyicted.

Brush Your Teeth Seven Times A Day
 Is Doctors Advice
 Dr. Thomas Darlington, former pres. ident of the department of health of New York, advocates the brushing of ones teeth seven times day, before and after every meal and at bedtime. Fms was part of a recipe for prolongins life to 12O years, prescribed by Dr. Oar lington recently, says the New York Herald.
 In his lecture he criticised the aver age woman for keeping late hours habit ually in the belief that this would re- duce weight "On the contrary" he said, If you stay up at night you get fat. Go to bed early if you want to get thin" 7
 The cleaning of ones hands, Dr. Dar- iington cited as an important factor ikewlse ln helping one to live 120 years.
 One, two or three glasses ,of water With meals and glass or two between meals are essential to good digestion and to longevity, he said, adding that the popular opinion that one should drink water between meals and not at all with meals is all wrong.
 Getting tired is another great ob- stacie in the way of bodily efficiency and long life," according to Dr. Oar lington. But he said that work never tired anybody and that ''if you love your work you will keep young for many years" Lack of proper nutrition, in digestion and other evils were cited as the real causes of fatigue.
 Tt is a good thing to teach calories, because most people eat twice as much as they need. Half the battle in getting rid of sickness is not to worry and fret Anger, envy, grief and disap- pointment all affect the system"
