and 80 often we fail to make good
his faith in our word, in our prom.

realize the Importance of keeping
our promises is to sit down and re-
call one incident of our own child

When I was about. 10 years, old.
my aunt, who was then an attrac-

young man used to drive up in the
evening With his horse and buggy

CENTER OF POWER
D'Annunzio Predicts New Power
Plant Will Be Eternal Source
of Energy.

GARDONNE, Lake Garda CR.-
D'Announzio visited the gigantic hydro
electric plant being built at the nearby
Lake Ledro and predicted that eternal
riches will come from the eternal flow
Of streams from the snow-capped Alps
The unique feature of this under
taking which will be finished before
the end of this year and, it Is hoped,
will be inaugurated by Premier Mu:-
solini, is that it is non-speculative ar !
that no private capital is invested In ! i.
The entire enterprise, which is one If
the most important of modern engineer
ing, has been financed with funds sur.
piled by the provinces of Verona an,
Bologna, besides a few of the munich
palities directly concerned, includin,
R1va, the largest city bathed by the
Lake OF Garda, and Rovereto on the
1nnsbruck-Trent Railway line. Thu
last two are both situated on ex-Aus-
tr1an territory and were annexed tc
Italy after the last war. The electric
power which the new plant will produce
Is destined almost exclusively for aeri-
cultural and industrial purposes.
The power is produced by a fall O
1,840 feet, obtained by joining the Lax,
Of Ledro to Lake Garda by means O
an artificial gallery through Noun
dOro, which divides the two. The LAX
OF Ledro Is 2,135 feet above the sea an
