HOOVER'S PLAN.
DON'T KISS THE BABY.
CONGRESS MEETS.
100000 MAN POWER
BY Arthur Brisbane

Secretary Hoover's plan for
waterways in the United States is
n magnificent, common-sense pres
entation of what this country
should do. F
Mr.. Hoover shows that 5000, 600
horsepower, more than three times
the amount now taken from Nj
agara Falls, could be developed on
the Tennessee and Cumberland
rivers. Reservoirs and dams in
connection with this development
would check floods in the Missis-
sippi valley, and provide six-foot
channel connecting the Tennessee
and Cumberland with the Ohio and
Mississippi.
The South knows what that
power, now wasted, would mean to
Atlanta, Birmingham, Chattanooga
and Nashvill.
That is only one item in a great
programme that the will of the
American people should put
through.

sioner of Chicago, says many ia
