JACK
$50. K.

NEW YORK, March 17.-What
was regarded today as a semi
official blast possibly intended TO
clear the way for Jack Dempsey $
return to the ring was touched
off at Madison Square Garden by
Leonard d. Sacks, confidential
agent for the former heavyweight
champion. Sacks denied making a
statement quoting him as saying
Dempsey was in no shape to resume
his ring activities.
Sacks recently spent six weeks
in Los Angeles and was with
Dempsey much of the time.
81 don't say he is going to
fight again." declared Sacks,
but he is in good shape
physically. He never has told
me one way or the other, but
/ know 1t is on his mind. He
is nm early every morning and
is taking plenty OF exercise.
"The eye ailment has been
exaggerated by constant repetition.
1T was nothing of serious nature,
Just a cold in the left eye from
which he has fully recovered. He
was bothered by a slight twitching
for about two weeks, but wore
glasses only a few days.
From my observation Dempsey
has never looked better physically
and l have been associated with
him for eleven years"

General Motors Smashes Record.
fNew York World. ]


 It is not easy to visualize the net profit of 235,O00,000 earned last year by the General Motors Corporation We may have better idea of it's real significance. perhaps, by noting that this amount exceeds the annual revenue of any American State, if borrowings excluded, and that it exceeds the combined revenues of the first nine of the American States listed alpha betcally. No other corporation in time of peace has ever made such showing, and it seems quite in keeping with the spirit of this age that such record should be made by pro- ducing motor-cars. The country wants cars and General Motors has undertaken the task of sup plying types to fit the requirements of every purse
 The record earnings of General Motors in a period when the Ford plants quiescent again emphasizes the cntrass between the two great rivals in motordom-if it be accurate to regard them now as rivals. The Ford organiza- tion is one-man concern; it shuns Wall Street As plague it looks askance at bankers di- rectors and stockholders. and it concentrates on inc output of, one highly standardized product f The General Motors Corporation has outside ad- vsers on it's directorate: it listens to the counsel of bankers; it's stock ownership is widely diffused l 1t is Wall Street favorite, and it carefully di- versifes its products.
 The differences striking, and yet both concerns have prospered immensely. The moral l if any, to be drawn from all this is that in country as big and rich America there IS more than one road to success

No More Flapper

tNew York Times.)
 Explaining the changes in young people 10 their carping elders has recently been an lm- portant function of the calm and kindly among grandparents When fathers and mothers swore or wept-a according to their various temperaments because sixteen -year-old girl insisted on car rying her flask and latch-key grandmother with an inconvenenty long memory was likely to remark on similar shocking lapses in her son or daughter at that age. So many wise and tolerant preachers. philosophers and writers have defended the youngsters that the world has just about reached the point where it is ready to accept all their eccentrcites as harmless mann festations of the exuberance of youth.
 No sooner has this happened than the Junior League announces that such acceptance is un- necessary In thirty-fve cities the lapper has been surveyed and fonnd wanting lnyestga- ton reveals not that she is lacking in certain desirable qualities, but that she has actually disappeared. Surely you have missed her Who has seen in recent days this creature, described by the league as the typical postwar flapper? Her hair was furiousy frizzled. Her smoking was overenthusiastic Her chewing gum was toe loud and too large. Her vocabulary was imported direct from the trenches She was startlingly lpicturesque--and now she is no more.
 In her place is a decately made-up young woman of great pose and dignity. She has se ected few attributes of the fapper for pres ervaton-the latch-key. the lip-stick and the liquor. But she makes such discreet use o them that she is longer offense to ths world at large. Instead of Haunting her free dom, she makes 1t more valuable by using | quietly. In assuring of these changes tn, Junior League tries to make 1t appear that this new happer is pleasanter person to have around No doubt she is, but her parents will soon bs complaining of her "subtlety" In the good olt days of the real napper a father knew at leas what he had to contend with. Now he can't b. sure whether his child is as sweet and gentle al she looks or is a fapper in disguise.

on studies of the capacity of water wheels in- stalled at fully developed power sites indicate that about 15 per cent of the potential water power of the United States is developed at the present time If it feasible to develop all of the water power resources of the country, the total capacity of the water wheels installed at all water-power plants would amount to about s5 900, 900 horsepower
 The greatest outlet for manufactured power, evidenced by last years development is in public utility power uses. In fact all of the increase in developed water power in 1927 was in the plants of public utility corporations, the capacity of water wheels in manufacturing plants showing small decrease during the year. This development may be expected to continue for several years to come. Money for investment in public utility securities seems to be abundant and to be had on comparatively easy terms. As long as this condition holds good financing and construction of public utilities win continue to rank high.

POWER DEVELOPMENT IN INFANCY

In these days when so much is heard or super-power trusts and gigantic combines of power manufacturing and distributing corpora tions, the fact is more less lost sight of that the development of water power resources in this country is hardly than in it's infancy The total amount of potential water power available 90 per cent. of the time is estimated to be s8,110,000 horsepower and available 50 per cent of the time is 59160,0O0 horsepower These figures vouehed for by the Geological Survey of the United States Department of Interior
 But only fractional portion of the potential power has been harnessed for use. On January l, of this year, there developed 12 2s6 900 horsepower This represented an increase of about five per cent. during the year 1927 And even this is said not to be accurate for purposes of comparison for the developed power figures in terms of capacity at the installed water wheels which may be much as several times the potential quantity available at the original sources 90 per cent. of the time.
