OTTAWA.-United States manufac-
turers must establish their factories in
Canada if they want electrical energy
which will be developed by the proposed
Beauharnois Canal, which now awaits
the probable approval of the Dominion
federal government.
The BeauharnoiS project proposes to
construct a power canal IA miles long
and 1000 feet wide, on the st. Lawrence
River from Lake st. Francis to Lake St.
Louis, and sell the power developed.
The 83-foot fall of water with an
average flow of 10000 cubic feet sec
ond will be harnessed to generate
100000 horsepower as the initial de-
velopment, and will be capable of
100000 horsepower.
As a result of energy being developed
as cheap as SIS per horsepower. it is
estimated that new industry involving
an outlay of S150000000 will result
The new concerns lined up are British
and American.
The Beauharnois Canal will lie en-
tirely in the Province of Quebec. It will
be an all-Canadian project. The plan
has been found economically feasible by
the Quebec government, which has
granted a lease for IS years with the
restriction that no electric power shall
. be exported from Canada. nor any
power be sold to a company that eX-
ports electrical energy. Permission
however, Is granted for the sale OF power
to the Province of Ontario.
The plans are drawn to take care o

a deep personal interest in the so-called

Some Poor Blind Folk
Have Never Seen a Miracle


Prometheus stole fire from the
gods and brought it down to
earth. Fer that crime the gods
chained him to a lonely rock
and sent a huge bird to feed
upon his vitals. Each night the
wound healed, and each day it
was torn open again.
That was the punishment of
the man who dared to wrest
away the richest treasure of the
gods.
But fire-the treasure Of the
sods--has almost disappeared
out of our daily life: we scorn it.
Do we want heat? We press
a button: and 10, heat, invisible,
silent, aIl.pervasive, flows into
our homes over a copper wire.
Do we need power? We have
but to press another switch, and
giants come to us over the same
slender roadway. Clothed in in
visible garments, they cleanse
our homes, wash our clothes,
crank our automobiles 1870 do
everything that once taxed the
strength of men and hurried
women into unIovely old age.
Don't let your life become a
prosaic affair: don't let familiar
ity with the marvels about you
breed thoushtIessness and con-
tempt.
Let the fool build his world out
of more food and drink and
clothes: you fashion yours out
of marvellous experiences: furnish
and decorate it with miracles.
Exercise your mind in the
wholesome activity of wonder:
train your soul to reverent awe.
II you had stood with Moses on
the shore of the Red Sea, and
had seen it divide to let the chill
dren Of Israel pasa over, you
would have had no difficulty in
recognizing that as a miracle.
But every night when the sun
goes down q man stands in a
powerhouse in your city and
throws a switch, and instantly
the city and the country for
miles around are flooded with
sunshine.
And YOU say to yourself
casually: "oh, ! see ths lights
are on" ...s

Japan's Girl Students
Urging Co.Education

Girl students at Nihon University in
Toxic are making a vigorous campaign
for co-education in universities. and
preparatory schools throughout Japan.

girl students allowed at the university
as visitors" and the leader of the CO.
educational movement. contends that
until the ministry Of education Is finan-
cially able to establish universities for
women it should allow them full priv

acteriZed the authorities neglect as due
to excessive worry over possible inlrnor-
atty. Many universities in Japan adj
nit girls as visitors" but not as full
fledged students because there are no
preparatory institutions which qualify
girls for admission. The girl students
are not regarded as university grad
yates even If they complete the regu-
lar course with high standing. It ~
this which inks them most.

AS individuals resigned Mr.. Coolidge
appointed their successors. When Mr..
Coolidge became President in his own
right in 1925 he retained his cabinet as
it then existed, except with respect to
one resignation,
Harding's selection of 10 men in 1921
was therefore the last example we have
had of the making of complete cabi-
net. The Harding method of selection
was as different as possible, probably,
from what the Hoover method will be,
but Harding's experience will serve to
illustrate the method.

The victim of the alleged assault was

grocery store on the Washington-B alti-
more Boulevard at Riverdale about
o'clock and entered her automobile.
Hintz is alleged to have followed her
into the machine and, seiZing both her
arms. forced her down in front of the
steering wheel.
Screams Bring Help.
Her screams attracted the attention
of John L. Berlin and William Beans,
who yelled at HintZ, who jumped out
of the car and ran. He was stopped by
former Policeman Livingstone, who held
him until the arrival of Town Bailiff
william Norgle of Bladensburg, who
placed him under arrest. Mrs. Hartley
was not injured, but was severely
shocked.
