WASHINGTON. II he MethodiStS

There ought to be law to allow

Or, at least, law to prohibit anyone

And after the voters had turned
down Mr. Pepper for Mr. Ware, Sena-

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ). MONTAGUE
THE AVERAGE MAN

I do not want to make flash
With wads of legal tender
I really do not care for cash
Or luxury or splendor
But when 1 wager on the score
Or gamble on the ponies
1 like to bet little more
Than any of my cronies
I'd rather have abounding health
And be my only master
Than all the goodly piles OF wealth
OF vanderbilt or AStor.
If 1 possessed that glittering store
Bond salesmen all would hound me;
I only want little more
Than any one around me.
do not want great white yacht
Prepared for instant action,
Expensive motor cars would not
Afford me satisfaction.
want no towering stipend for
My hard unflagging labors,
only want little more
Than any of my neighbors.
The wealth of multi-millionaireS
But stirs my soul to pity,
For they are bowed with business cares
And seldom sitting pretty.
They may have half the town at heel
Yet nothing could be drearier,,
I'm quite content if can feel
A little bit superior!

SEA WATER DYNAMO
GENERATES POWER
Georges Claude, Inventor of Liquid
Air, Reports Limitless Power
From Sea in Prospect.
Correspondence OF the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
PARASITIC dream of limitless power
from the sea is taking form In labora-
tory set. up by Georges Claude. inventor
Of liquid air at Ougree- -Marihaye, on
the Meuse River near Liege. Belgium.
Claude recently reported TO the Acad-
envy of Sciences that a dynamo was be-
Ing driven by utilizing the as degrees
Fahrenheit differences of temperature
between the surface water and that at
a considerable depth. A 50-kilowatt gen.
orator, he said, was producing 40 kilo-
watts Of power, much more than enough
to do the pumping necessary IN the
process.
This surplus of power produced by
nature, Claude announced last year,
could be obtained from the sea in vast
quantities, particularly near the Equa-
tor, where the difference in temperature
at various depths is very great.
This first installation, made to test
Claude's calculations, is expected to be
followed by a more elaborate plant and
eventually by commercial installation
Claude in his first predictions forecast
that the world might heat itself in VIM
ter and cool itself in Summer with the
incalculable power the sea could give.
