The Supcrp0wer Reality
lChicag0 Journal oil Commcrccl


The pooling Of tho power resources Of the Middle
West Utilities Company, the North American Com
pany. and the North American Power Company, has
large significance in the development of the electric
power industry.
Much has been dreamed and written about super
power. What fine thing it would bc--so some
have sad--f power produced in Colorado could be
sent to Chicago. St. Louis, or. indianapolis. And
while this theorzng has been g,ing on capable men
in the electric power industry have been doing much
to bring the dream to realization. They have been
confined within the limitations of prcsentday meth
eds; yet they have made superpower reality to an
extent far beyond the ordinary comprehension
The reason that power produced in Colorado can
not be transmitted to Chicago is that it dwndles
away during transmission. A given amount Of
power can be sent only a limited distance Bound
by this limitation, the electric power industry is ac-
compllshing superpowcr by indirect means.
The industry cannot transmit power thousands of
miles, 1t can, however, transmit power two or three
hundred miles. Therefore it establishes power sta
lions at right intervals, and arranges that when
plant at one place needs power it shall get it from
plant at another place. and that this plant shall
get its power from third plant and 50 on all along
the line.
IN effect. the various power plants are runners in
relay race. The full distance cannot be covered
by single runner but it can be covered by series

the English speaking section of the
International Eucharistic congress Of

that the frequent communion devo-

Even on the athletic field, the
senator said. the Notre Dame Uni

Women Are Mems Equals
''In Christian lands, women for
centuries have been the equals, COM
panions and helpmates Of their hts
hands, said Senator Ransdell, after
4 brief resume of the slavery Of
women and informal divorce methods
lof pagan countries and in early
Roman and Grccian history. "Our
Lord showed the dignity and honor of
womanhood by His great devotion to
His Blessed Mother, whom He ever
loved and honorcd. The model held
up to women from the dawn of
Christianity is the Peerless Mother Of
our Blessed Rcdccmcr.
"Thc influence of Mary on the
moral elevation Of women can hardly
be overestimatcd; and every impartial
student of history is forced to admit
that woman is indebted to the Chris

she enjoys today in family and social
life"
Nearly a score Of names of noted
men, members Of the Catholic Church,
wore cited by the senator as examples
of their deeply religious character
and Of the worldly success.

years ago. Each book embossed can
be reproduced in hundreds or thous-

issued in Braille is already so large
that there is no need of thinking of

IHE HOUSE WITH SEVEN POINT,
ED TOWERS
When the Twins reached Mist,
Hill in Drowsy Land, they knew
just what to look for. The Fair,
Queens letter had said, 1.-The Dream
Maker Man lives in castle with
seven pointed towers"
There it was right on top Of tho
hill, its seven towers painted sever
different colors, and ali its windows
shaped like stars. ;
The track disappeared, also the
little car they had travelled in. There
they stood all alone at the foot Of the
hill.
"How do we get up?" asked Nancy
There isn't a path or anything"
Nick looked around. II don't
know" he said. Il suppose we have
to walk"
But just then there was buzzing
sound like great bee, and what
should the Twins see but an aero
plane leaving the castle on top Of the
hill!
1t flew down and landed right be-
side them and a jolly aviator got out
and shook hands.
Are you the Dream Maker man p
asked Nick. "We're looking for him
We'd like to know if our china Gle.
plant and toy clown came to the

"Righto!' said the jolly aviator
"No, Pm not the Dream Maker Man

planes. We used to use mares--night
mares--but they arc all out Of style
now"
"Snoozlc and Snugglc and Snorc!
cried Nick. "Why. that was the
name of the little moon man who
opened the blue gate for US when we
arrived on tho moon."
"RightO!' said Shore, again
"Righto! neutrality-suspicious. was

got third Of his name. But il you

the hill, get into my airplGnc anc
ri take you there. There is no pail
because thieves would come up ant
steal the dreams Father makes"
So Nancy and Nick got into the
airplane and Shore got into the
front seat and away they went right
up the hill toward the castle with
seven towers.
The Dream Maker Man had "A So,
glass and was looking out Of one OF
his star-shaped windows. He had
seen everything that went on.
As the Twins approached he waved
green handkc rchicf to show how
glad he was to sec them.

In half minute, there was thu

Standards in Heaven

A la-ycar-old girl from California is received
with acclaim into New York pulpit by pastor
who calls hsr "thc most extraordinary person il
America" The reasons for calling her that are be-
cause she is able to mouth all the cxhortations the
revvalists USE and because she had "cal to serve
God"
The girls call came when she set off at the age
Of nine to try for Job in the movies. The door
wouldn't open when she arrived at the place where
she was to seek work. This she interpreted as a
call to the Divine service. The door had jammed on
hell and the movies Many men and women wept
and prayed with her.

The group asks for direct, outward manifesto

was taken i'll in his hotel room and

Death Is Sudden
Removed to the University OF
Pennsylvania Hospital, he rallied but
slightly and for days his illness was
considered critical. More recently
however, while unable to leave the
hospital, he began to gain and 1t was
believed he would recover. His death
during the night was sudden.
Smith was recognized as one. Of
the leading football coaches of the
