lime to Awake

THE most obvious conclusion to
Il be drawn from what has oc-
Cured in and around Niagara is
that we can not depend on water
power to provide for requirements
of the present, much less for those
Of the future and that public policy
which looks to water power for a
solution of the problem is doomed
to failure.
Edison warned us of this some
time ago, warned us that we were
overestimating what could be done
with water wheels, and that we must
think in other terms, not only for
the sake of industrial progress, but
for the sake of sane course in our
political attitude.

ANNIVERSARY
BIRTH OF HAYES
October 4

.NN Oct. 4, 1922, Rutherford B.
~ Hayes, nineteenth President of
the United States, was born in
Delaware, o.
At the age of 20 he was grad
uated at the head of his class from
Kenyon college. He then spent
two years at Harvard law school,
being graduated in 1845. In the
same year he passed the bar and
soon afterward entered into prac-
tice at Fremont.
At the outbreak of the Civil
war, Hayes enlisted for the whole
war. AS a litutenant-colonel, he
led the Twenty-third Ohio regi-
ment at South Mountain, a battle
in which he gained considerable
fame.
He was wounded severely in this
engagement and on his recovery was
promoted to the rank of colonel.
After this he led several important
expeditions, the most important
of which was the one against
Morgan, who finally was forced to
surrender.
With the popularity gained by
his war achievements, Hayes be-
came the outstanding candidate
for congress in his district and
was easily elected.
While Governor of the state, he
was chosen Rep blican candidate
for the presidency in 1876. After
close contest with Samuel j.
Tilden, he was inaugurated in 1877.
He had won by one electoral vote.
His administration was honest
and he showed his indeper dence of
character by refusing to pander to
partisan politics.

Experiment Necessary

A VAST portion Of this country
n must lock to coal, oil or gas
for electricity, no matter what Is
done at Niagara, Muscle Shoals,
New England or the northwest.
No national policy can ignore that
portion and be just.
On the whole we probably would
be wise to take our time in shap-
ing national policy, and leave as
much as possible to the states, or
municipalities.
Like most other things, the pro-
duction of electricity seems to vary
great deal, not only as TO method,
but as to cost, in different local.
ties.
Why not give those localities an
opportunity TO experiment on their
own account. and not be in too
much a hurry to drag the federal
government into it the way we did
into prohibition?

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ

Nel0 Book of Biology Pre-
Sents Subject So That It's
Essentials Can Be Grasped
Easily.
DROFESSOR THEODORE KOP-
= PANYI has exercised unusual
skin in picking the chapters for his
book, THE Conquest of Life" In
256 pages he has managed to deal
with the biological topics most lilRly
to interest the layman at the pres
ent moment.
Tile book just has been pub
lishe0 by D. Appleton & Co. in
their excellent New World OF
Science Series
The first chapter titled THE
Science of Life" is a general intro
duction to the subject. dealing with
cell structure and the physical at
tributes of living things.
The next two chapters tell the
fascinating story Of the slow devel-
opment of the science of biology
from the days of the early Greeks,
through the Middle Ages, to the
present.
The work of such historic figures
as Aristotle, Hippocrates, Galen,
Leonardo da Vinci, VesaliuS, NAL
pighi, Harvey, Baer and others, is
discussed.
Chapter four is titled "The Case
for Evolution" This chapter gives
both the historical development of
the idea of evolution, the work of
IIamarck, Darwin and others, and
the evidence upon which modern
biologists base their belief in the
process of evolution.

A Move Against Stunning

Fifty of the nations leading airplane makers con-
venng at Washington have passed resolution aiming
to outlaw the stunning of arpaneS except for neces-

direction.

1t also essential the airplane manufacturers point
out in certain test flights is entirely out Of place
however, at public exhibitions. Lives OF innocent
bystanders can too easily be endangered.
Furthermore, it is bad business-Which probably
is what hits the makers of airplanes. 1t does little
good to tell the public that flying is safe when
squadron of stunters go out and, by doing dizzy
series of flip-hops persuade the average man that
aviation is after all game for daredeyilS.

 Soon after coming into office Mitchell directed a broad investi- gation into the activities of all United States attorneys. He ex- plained today that this investiga- ton is of a continuing character, and that the work of these off cials will be scrutinized carefully in the future. In making his original announcement of the in- vestigation, Mitchell said that the district attorneys must show re- suits if they desire to remain in office.

Mitchell said there were certain to be some changes" in the per sonnel of district attorneys off, ces in the near future, but he had not yet determined what further changes would be necessary.
 Another problem in connection with the United States attorneys offices is that of maintaining a corps of competent assistants" :" Mitchell said, "We now have ap proximately Q 30 per cent annual turnover of assistant United States attorneys. This is chiefly at tributable to the fact that the sal aries paid by the government are low and that these officials resign to accept more lucrative positions in private practice"

 A new contract signed with the Theatre Guild has a clause provid- ing that when they are sent out side New York it must be in the same play
 They have no objection to ap- bearing in different plays at the same time cn Broadway, but even that separation is unlikely. for if it happened one cast or the other would have to be altered before the plays could be sent on tour. MT. and Mrs. Lunt-he @ native of Wisconsin and she of England were married in 1923, but they never were together on the stage until they joined the Guild two years later and had the leading roles in The Guardsman"
 Since then they have been seen together in eight other plays, and have become a pair of lovers as re- nowned on the stage as they are devoted to each other in private life.
 Occasionally, however, they have been in different plays-Mr Lunt four times and Miss Fontanne twice, notably when Lunt was ap- | bearing in 'Vclpcne" and Marcos Millions" and his wife was playing Nina in O'Neilrs Strange Inter- lude'-and sometimes the exigen- cies of the theatre have taken one Of them trouping while the other remained on Broadway.
 It is such interruptions of their domeatic life that they will avoid by the terms of then new agree ment with the Theatre Guild
 Both are playing now in New York in Meteor and they are to be seen together later this season in the principal parts of a new drama by MaXwell Anderson titled Elizabeth and Essex"

LIEUT., BURKETT
 KILLED, CRASH
Believed Victim Is Former Member of Alaska Navy
 Air Expedition

Lieut.. Eugene Field Burkett, United States Naval aviator, and his flying companion, Ensign John D. Clark. were killed near San Diego, Cal, January 2 in the crash of their anphibian plane from a height of about 1,500 feet. Lieut.. Burkett, one of the victims of the crash, is believed to be the officer second in command of the Alaskan Aerial Survey Detachment that made an air survey of South east Alaska last summer and was stationed in Juneau for several months.
 Lieut.. Burkett and his wife made their home ashore while on the expedition, residing in the Mac Kinnca residence above the Cable Office at Front and Main Streets. Both. he and his wife were popular and made a host of friends while in Juneau.
 According to Associated Press ac- counts, the cause of the accident could not be determined as the amphibian was demolished. Appar- ently the two auiators made no attempt to use parachute5 after their plane went into spin.

 They found that this mild use of light twill in most instances reduce by at least 40 per cent the incidence Of colds in cold-suscep- tible individuals.

 The dramatic vehicle that swept Maude Adams to new heights of glory has now been transplanted to the screen as an all-talking motion picture.
 The rights to Sir James M. Bar rle's renow wned play, Half an Hour" were acquired by Paramount and made into a full length all- talking production under the title of The Doctors Secret" and will be presented at the Coliseum to- night.
 Ruth Chatterton, H. B. Warner, John Loder, Robert Edeson, Ethel Wales, Wilfred Noy and Nanci Price comprise the cast which is stage trained. William c. De Mile, fla nous stage and screen director, not only directed the production but adapted the story as well.
 While there is whimsical touch evident in most of Barrie's plays, such as Peter Pan" it is not so evident in "The Doctors Secret. This is a play of dramatic intensity filled with suspense and ruthless realism, and pierced with flashes of almost sardonic humor. IL is one of Barries finest plays, "Hali an Hour" and with it's being trans planted to the screen as audible en- tertainment, film fans and lovers of the drama may be assured of perfect enjoyment.
