There was a large attendance of wool

Some buyers were present at the
meeting and attractive offers were
made for both wool and lambs, the
latter for fall delivery. Forty cents

The erection of superpOwer cleo

coal and water, is under cOnsidera
tinH by public utility engineers, aC-
Cording to II. Carl Wolf, chief en-
Sineer of the Maryland public service

in Washington, where the plan was
taken up and discussed
Wolf is a member of committee

the crea uUn of a SuperpoWer reser-

mittcc was named by Herbert Hoover,
Secretary of Commerce. 1t has as
.embl"d data on the subject. The re-
port adopted says the future needs
Of tn" Eastern StatV can only be
met by interconnection of existing
facilities, full development of all
wate rpower and creation Of super
power plants.
The report sets forth that these
superpower plants cannot be located
at the mines, because of the lack Of
condensing water. The seneratiYe
cost of power in Baltimore, because
of the combined use of water and
coal. says the report, is cheaper than
anywhere else in this area.
This fact and Baltimore's location,
midway between the north and south,
made the cOnfereeS agree that Bal
timore is one of the most desirable
sites for a Superpower plant.

BALTIMORE PORT RECORD.
S6,so3, 764 Gain in Imports, First
Quarter, Over 1923.

BALTIMORE, April II (SpeciaI).-
Imports al the port of Baltimore for
the first quarter Of 1924, showed a
gain Of Sc S03,764 over the same
period last year, according to figures
compiled at the customhouse. The
gain is considered unusual because of
a loss of 60.36O tons in cargo brought
TO the port during the period.
Exports for the first three months
of the year show a loss over the year
before in excess of s5,000,000, figures
being incomplete. Low exchange rates
in Europe, permitting vessels to
show handsome profits despite opera
tion in ballast one way, are blamed
for the loss.
During the first quarter of 1924
the report shows PSI vessels, with a
tonnage of S76.196 tons. with cargoes
Of total value of s26.71 5,194. entered
the port. The year before 31S vessels,
with an aggregate tonnage of ap-
proximately 9GS, $50 tons. brought car
goes valued at S20.111, ,430.
Export figures for the first quarter
show that, despite the fact that five
more vessels sailed during the first
quarter of 1928 than sailed in the cor
responding period of 1924. the export
tonnage for the latter year shows an
increase of 46,0 ,090 tons over the year
before, while the value of shipments

 Mrs. Fisher feared, she said, that ''Mr. Horton was not as well as usual ''
 It was the morning after Marian walk with Frederic Parker. As the girl heard the woman's words she mar. yelled that anyone could use the term ''well" in speaking of her parents usual state.
 "What is wrons?" Lois asked anz. iously.
 Nothing really wronE," the attend ant replied. "only he groans once in a while. Yet when I so to him he shows no signs of suffering-mors than that worried look he always has on his face these days. But 1t seems to me he is not breathing as regularly as usual"
 "I will telephone to Dr. Hazen to come in this morning." Marian de- clAred.
 Yet when the physician came he found no change in the patients condition. There was, as Mrs. Fisher had said, an occasional irregularity in MT. Hor- servable when he was first stricken Dr. Hazen reminded the daughters. There was no special cause for alarm.
 The doctor repeated this verdict an hour later when he met Harold Sum ner in the bank and paused to chat with him.
 ''That case of Horton's is a queer one," he went on to say, encouraged by the interested attention of the young minister. "It is almost like catalepsy. He lies there, an inert body. I see no sign of his ever being better. Great pity he does not die, yet, as 6 physi- clan, am bound to do all within my power to keep him alive. A terrible strain on his daughters. Lois shows it less than Marian. But then, Marian was his favorite. She looked positively relieved just now when I told her her father was in no immediate danger. Queer how a woman will cling to any one she loves even when he seems as good-or as bad-as dead"
 Only 6 woman with a deep nature could cling thus to one she loved, the minister unused when he had parted fro mthe physician. Poor girl! Work ing to pay off her fathers debts, anx- ious all the time, yet bearing her bur dens so bravely!
 These and more tender reflections decided the Reverend Harold Sumner to call at James Horton's today. He was further moved to do this by the knowledge that this was one of the afternoons on which Marian was not working, and that it was likewise the afternoon for the meeting of the Wom-

 NEW YORK, April z1.-.As the great New York churches closed their services Sunday, throngs of fashion ably gowned women scattered up Fifth avenue in their Eastern plnmage. Rain did not deter the donning of spring fnery.
 Two modes which reflect the sea. sons styles were equally represented the furstrimmed, long coat and the tailored suit. In some fnstances, both styles were represented, the long cost being worn over the tailored suit.
 As. for the long coat, paragraphs could be written, for those worn by the ladies of the four hundred as we'll as by the belles of Broadway and the East Side were as varied in their. colors and materials as to make eachSsone an in dividual model. Younger misses seem to favor dark colored worsteds trimmed in gray fox or squirrel, although red trimmed in black fur and green trim med in multicolored embroidery on sleeves and coat border, were we'll rep resented. Brilliant plaids were equally favored by girls in their teens, although these plaid mixtures lacked fur trim ming in most cases.
 In almost every instance, the lines of the long coat are slender-fitting and of thew rap-around type, being held together in front rather than buttoning. Fur extends about the small upturned collar and down the front sides of the garment to the hem. As e''s
 The fur used is invariably narrow, forming border effect which is aug nsented by colored wool embroidery trim.
 The tailored suit was represented in such quantities that there can now be no doubt as to its authenticity. Plain blues, pin-stripes, small checks and man. nish matsrials were prominent in this display, girls have not looked so boyish in years. Over their white blouses were worn the most gorgeous scarfs imagin. able, made of bright colored crepe de chine elaborately decorated in batik designs. Scarfs were the most distinc- tive feature of the Easter parade. in
