in his message that the projected Black

electric power to future electro-chemi-
cal industries at price considerably
below that obtainable at Niagara Falls

Aluminium Co. of America, the Ameri-

that Congress will now make the money
for construction available. 1t is eSti-

six years after the contracts are let.

Barred From u. S.,
Man Will Reside
In His WOOdshed
BY the Associated Press.


MALONE, N. Y, October Is
Arthur Plante, a Canadian, who
had resided in the United States
for nearly 80 years, is preparing
to spend the Winter in his wood
shed because that part of the
residence, just north of Malone,
which he purchased recently, Is in
Canada.
The dwelling, attached to the
woodshed, is in United States ter
ritory, and Plante Is prevented by
United States immigration au-
thorities from again entering this
country.
Plante is now busy making the
woodshed weatherproof for the
Winter.
Harry E. Hull, commissioner
general of immigration, today
ordered an investigation of the
case of the Canadian, Arthur
Plante.
Unable to find Plante'S name on
his records Commissioner Hull
was inclined to discount Plantes
story. He said that If any order
barring Plante from the United
States had been issued it would
be on record here.

tin street railway company recently agreed with the
city commission to tear 10 It's tracks and install
buses e. soon as the city completes its paving pro-

The street car disappeared from Brownsvilles
shorourhfares four years ago following a losing fight
against the more popular buses and the rapid In

hicles. In practically all cities under 100000 popu-
lation tracks are disappearing and the clans OF the
street car bell is merely a memory.
In the larger centers Of population. however. the
street cars are in greater favor today than ever be-
fore In many cities, particularly New York and
philadelphia. a determined fight Is being made to
eliminate downtown parking on the streets Al first
this was vigorously fought by the merchants. but the
experience Of Chicago. which recently closed the
loop district to parking. has proved that the nier-
chants ere benefited thereby. In Chicago the city
council and street commissioner did not consult with
THE merchants. They put the anti-parking rule into
affect over their protests. and the protests were with
drawn within a week. when IL became evident that
customers were utilizing the street cars.

Central Texas farmers are being gradually veane1

The World and All
ENGINEERS AND POLITICIANS
Ry Charles p. Driseoll

Engineers have their weaknesses and faults. as
have other classes Of men. But the fascinating fea-
ture Of the engineering profession Il its constant alb
sorption with constructive ideas.
Engineers and architects are ever planning new
undertakings that will ultimately benefit people.
Politicians are the worst enemies engineers have
to cope with. Sometimes there are shifting sands TO
deal with in building railroads and canals through
deserts. But the shifting sands OF politics are much
more dangerous to engineering progress.
The engineers of England and France have been
trying for many generations to build a tunnel under
the English channel so that England may be con-
nected with the continent by dry land.
But the politicians of England and France have
wrecked the project repeatedly. They stand in the
way. waving red flags and sending up rockets and
ringing alarm bells. They say soldiers might use the
tunnel to invade England from France, or vice versa.
s
This seems rather foolish to us, on our side of
the Atlantic. It seems to us perfectly clear that both
England and France would gain so much from the
tunnel during the periods of peace that they could
afford to blow It up In time OF war and rebuild II
again when the next peace came along.
rhe traffic through such a tunnel would be stu
pen6ous. It seems 10 the distant American ridicu-
lous that there aren't nj least q dozen railway tracks
and eight or ten vehicular roadwsvs running under
the channel now.
hut politicians can see the problem differently.
The politicians have much - do with governing. SO
the engineers must wait ~ least another century be-
fore they can begin blildtng that tunnel
"
Take the st. Lawrence waterway project on the
North American continent. Viewing II merely from
the standpoint of the engineer. it is folly to delay
construction on that canalization and power pro-
gram. The benefits TO be derived from 10 are 80
obvious.
But politicians on both sides Of the border see il
otherwise. There Is this or that reason for post
poning for a century or two any cooperative effort
on The part Of Canada and the United States. al
though the economic interests OF the two people are
almost identical.
Similar considerations bob IN whenever a great
engineering project involves the interests Of peoples
separated by political border lines.

They hope, too. that the water
below the dam will not be so

Finally. all the Colorado basin
