Preliminary Permit for Leasing

Action of Congress

The preliminary permit granted by Federal Power Com
to outside company for the leasing of the power
rights Great Falls will be subject to such action Con-
grsss may wish take and gives the permee prior rights
as against the Federal Government.
This is the authoritative opinion of the chief counsel of the
power commission expressed in letter Major Clayton

Federation of Citizens Associations
Major Emg watchfu of the interests of the people of the
District in all matters coming under his committee sought

Great Falls.
the situation stands the preliminary permit already
issued merely gives the company possessing priority of
pcation for permanent license later on the power
mission should fit grant it. The permit is temporary
is evident that the proposed development of Great
Falls will receive the earnest attention Of the next session of
Congress and that the attitude Of that body will indicate that
the permanent leasing Of Great Falls to private company
would be Objectionable the Federal Government which,
through Congress- undoubtedly intends maintain control
the Potomac River all the way the Falls for such
future development the Federal Government itself may
wish to make.
Another feature which will subject any power development
at Great Falls Congressional action that of the dstrbu
ton Of electricity within the District.
The Potomac River Corporation which has obtained the
temporary permit contemplated among other things the de-
veopment Of electric power there for distribution somewhere

part of future park other developments connected with

rights Of the public in coming Private ownership would
nothing less than constant conflict in the and

And as for leaving folks alone
that listens well, but somehow
it won't work. Indifference is a
lonely job. We think we can do
without people, but we can't.
There's something lacking in a
solitary life. Not just the touch
or sound of other humans, but
something vital that should pass
from man to blan. A sort of spirit
that keeps us all alive. When we
cut off from that sap our hearts
go cold--we wither in our husks
like dried up seeds.
So, take it any way you want,
kindness is the only 100 per cent
working technique. 1t relieves you
of an infinite amount of RESPONSE
bility and distress 1t protects
you from endless irritation-it is
the perfect armor. And it opens
your life to all that is happy and
helpful in life. ,.
Try it when you come to the
next hard jam. Instead Of hitting
back, or walking away with your
nose in the air or giving way to
suspicion or sitting in judgment,
just try being kind. Don't be a
Pollyanna. Don't gum up the
works with a lot of sentimentality.
Don't try to save your enemy's
soul or insist that he slap the
other cheek. Just treat him as il
he weren't your enemy at all
casually, cheerfully. Then, after
the fraeas is oyer make an audit
of your emotions and see how 1t
compares to rockets in the past.

The New Home

The New Home
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ My sister-in-law is about to

thing, but would like to write her
a nice letter and wish them lots
of happiness. So / am writing to

TUBS is the kind of letter that
i 1 especially love to have, for
it shows such a sure social sense.
So many people strive to give
gifts in a case like this, because
they will not see clearly enough
to admit that they cannot afford
to give gifts. But you have the
fine and sensitive taste to see that
a letter, expressing the fact that
you wish them happiness in their
home, is a gift in itself. Bless

Why, hate does you a hundred
times as much harm as one,
miserable mortal could possibly
do to you.
Or sitting in judgment on folks.
That's another bad bet. Takes
all the joy out of life. You can't
possibly be natural If you're going
to judge people. You can't be a
little lazy or silly or extravagant
or given to fibs. You must be
perfectly good and wise and
stronger, at least, make your
self believe that you are-before
you dare to judge others. Or, il
you do slip you must spend all
your time inventing grave, solemn
excuses and alibis to prove that
you are Heavens little pet. Judges
must spend all their waking hours
trying to bluff themselves, their
fellow-rhen, or God. Which is my
idea of a total waste of time.

Comets are regarded by astron-
omers as loose swarms of sepa-
rate particles probably of very
different Sizes separated by dis
tances great in comparison with
their own diameters and accom-
panied by more or less dust and
gas. AS a comet ap-
proaches the sun and begins to be
warmed by its rays, gases ooze
out of the solid particles, carry
ing with them quantities of fine
dust. These diffuse into space
in all directions and the coma ex-
pands. The dust reflects the SUM-
light and the gases are set
shining by absorption of solar
energy, so that the brightness of
the comet grows very rapidly. AS
the activity increases the finer

Blaming your troubles on mat

your smash-up on the telegraph

To be popular with men, these
days. a girl must be able. to think
in clear, logical, philosophical
terms while she chatters in slang
and baby-talk. @
Running a car and running a
woman are two arts that some
men never seem to acquire. With
the car, they are always killing a
chicken or smashing a hedge, and
with the woman, they are always
shattering an Illusion or running
over raw nerve.
A woman will lie to anybody
else on earth, sooner than to the
man she loves; but a man will
lie to the woman he loves sooner
than to anybody else on earth.
No matter how much married
man may be, somehow. he never
FEELS that way until the girl
who has been trying to "help
him forget it," suddenly begins to
take him seriously. Then. he
thinks of his wife as a Delivering
Angel and Of marriage as the
Ideal State!
Somehow, when man picks
out a wife, he seems to suffer
from a temporary mental eclipse
and complete paralysis of the
cerebrum.
Most flappers. like most musi-
cal comedies. are designed to de-
light the eye. distract the ear and
give the mind a complete rest!
The mirror that is most often
held up to nature these days, Is

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Oct. 10 tR;-All grain,
especially corn, scored substantial
recovery today from general break
this morning to the lowest prices yet
this season Apparently the entire
grain list became oversold early, and
left an opening for profit taking on a
big scale by traders who were in a
position to collect. Ideal weather for
threShing of wheat and for curing of
corn hail much to do with the ex-
ceSSive selling.
Corn prices closed firm, 1s-Ac to
&c net higher, with wheat steady at
sc to sc net decline, oats unchanged
to sc up and provisions varying from
&c decline to rise of TIC.
Diligent inquiry failed to disclose
any connection between stock market
declines today and the weakness
shown by grain values. The down
turns appeared to be of altogether
independent character. Wheat bears

feeling in many quarters that the
technical position of the market had
not been sufficiently corrected by the
recent decline and the market gen.

ton of the second liberty loan set up
a huge potential investment demand

cided increase of the interior move
ment of wheat in the western prov
inces, a circumstance which more
than counter balanced relative strength
of Liverpool quotations and the fact
that the Liverpool market was at a
full shipping difference compared with
Chicago.
Special notice was taken of an
nouncement that Canadian farmers
delivered 4,293,000 bushels of wheat
yesterday against 4,048,000 bushels a
year ago. This was the first time in
several weeks that any increase was
shown and was deemed significant

of domestic winter wheat seeding west
of the Mississippi river was also noted
and early seeded grains were officially
reported as making good progress in
all sections.
Corn developed strength largely on
the basis that the December delivery
of corn was off about SIC bushel
from recent top prices. Charters were
made for $4,000 bushels of corn to
Buffalo. About 100000 bushels of
corn was booked to arrive here, prin-
cipally old corn. Oats broke with
other grain but rallied later.
Provisions were easier, influenced by
the action of hog and cotton values
as well as by the temporary setback
in prices for corn.
