I,iAR|NGS STARTED
ON QUEBEC POWER
Parliament Opens Inquiry
Into BeauharnoiS Deal and
National Railways.

OTTAWA.-The tariff and taxation
features of the Bennett budget have, by
q majority of 80 in the House, become
effective, and Parliament is proceeding
to deal with the Canadian National
Railways, the inquiry into the Beau
harnois power concessions, end finally
to make new provision for employment
during the coming Winter.
Senator Gideon Robertson, minister
OF labor, is now en- trip OF inspection
and inquiry to ascertain to what extent
local cooperation by provinces and rnu-
inequalities is available, and in what
form expenditures on public works
should be made. This special commit
tee on the Beauharnois power affair Is
at the preliminary stage of its work
Power Deal Questioned.
The findings Of the committee will
be determined on the division in Parlia-
ment and the country on the principle
Of public ownership and development
Of power resources. 1t is not ques-
toned that generous concessions were
made by the government of Quebec to
the promoters, and that minimum re-
gard for public rights was manifested
by Federal authority in extending rati-
tication to the project.
But where an enterprise requiring
outlay of capital to an estimated total
of $40 900 900, with valuable returns to
the public in tax revenue on power and
an open waterway adequate for ocean,
going shipping Is being provided With
out cost to the public, 1t will be diff
cult to attach disregard for the public
good to the responsible officials, or to
connect the promoters with improper
methods of procedure. Public ownership
advocates see only dishoncrable details
in the transaction. while private enter
prise men see courage and high purpose
ANNA ting the promoters and investors,
as wSl as the governments concerned.
Thornton Faces Inquiry.
Sir Henry Thornton. American rail-
way engineer. graduate of the Unlver-
sity of Pennsylvania and head of tbs
Canadian National Railways, whose net
revenues have fallen. faces inquiry.
It was on the hotel policy and in
vestment record CT the Canadian Ma
ticnal Railways that direct attack was
made. There is an investment OF SCI
600, 900 in these hotels and commit
ments of an additional $l0,000,000 fol
hotels at Vancouver and Saskatoon
now under construction. The total def
icit for nine hotels In 1880 amounted
to $1,131,979, actual operating loss be-
Five of the nine hotels operated were
taken en- with the old lines Of railway
and while Sir Henry never once ad-
mitted any insiduous political influence
in locating and building the hotels, il
is we'll known that in this, as In &C
quiring branch lines. influences other
than these of straight business judg-
nent we're at work Sir Henry justified
the hotel policy on the ground OF
bringing business to the railway and
the country, pointing to the tourist
trafic as one of the best industries OF
Canada.

Painful, Dangerous

MILLIONS now suffering from painful,

hardened, fibrous callous breaks downand

dead mass thrusting up and pressing
excrutiatingly against the unprotected
bruised nerves and tissues with every

Job Detectors Are Gaining
Sales Experience

Tactured article or q cOmmOd-
ity. A certain amount of sales
resistance first must be over
come. The public must be con-
vinced that the article or thing
for sale has . definite use and
that it should be purchased. 1t
must be shown that purchase
of the thing for sale will result
in benefit to the purchaser as
well as the one who puts 1t on
sale.
Boys Are Statesmen
"Tn this instance the District
of Columbia Committee on En-
pIOyment is the vendor. The
commodity for which 1t seeks a
market is the service Of many
capable and skillful workers.
The vendee is the WashingtO-
nian himself. 1t should not be
exceedingly difficult to convince
him that by purchasing service,
by giving a job, he not only is
obtaining something Of value
for his own use, but also is con-
tributing to the general eco
nOmic welfare Of the cOmmu-
nifty as a whole.
"The Washington Time Job
DetectOrs in reality are young
statesmen. They meet the pub
lie and they gain experience

to them in later life. More than
that, they have the satisfaction
of knowing that they are en-
gagged in an activity the bene-
fits of which are difficult to
appreciation"

TRAFFIC LIGHTS
NEED CITED

Increased safety for pedestrians
and motorists is the primary OBJ
jective behind Traffic Director
william A, Van Duzef's program
for more traffic lights, and he
does not intend to be moved from
his position by the protests which
have followed his request for more
money with which to carry out his
program.
In his budget estimates for the
fiscal year 1888, Mr.. Van Duzer
included an item of $111.341 for
traffic light signals and equip
ment, bringing on a storm Of pro-
test from persons who believe the
projected extension of the city'S
traffic light system unnecessary.
Despite the protests Mr.. Van
Duzer says, lights, wisely placed,
have become the universally &C.
cepted agency of traffic control.
Installation of lights here will fol-
low a basic formula resulting
from years Of experimentation
by traffic experts.
Mr.. Van Duzer points out, it
is said, that $4,000 of the sum
asked in the budget is planned to
meet the situation which will re.
suit from $4,000 persons empty
ing on Pennsylvania Avenue twice
daily when the new Federal
Building program is completed.

Cannon 'SDEALS!
TO Be FURTHER
EXPLORED
Nye Committee May Ask Suit
for Injunction Be Dismissed
and Probe Be Continued

The Senate campaign funds
committee will proceed with its
investigation of the activities of
Bishop James Cannon, jr., in the
1928 campaign this month. Un.
less halted by court injunction,
Il was indicated today.
Senator Nye (R) of North
Dakota, chairman, said he hoped
to call witnesses in the commit
tees inquiry into Bishop Can
mons use and failure to report
all Of a $65,300 contribution
made by e. c. Jameson, Of New
York, to Cannon's anti-Smith
campaign committee.
Suit to EnjOin
The committee is now con-
fronted with Bishop Cannon's
suit for an Injunction on the
ground !. that it lacks constitu-
tional authority to inquire into
his campaign affairs.
Il is expected the Nye commit
tee will ask that the suit be
dismissed because Of lack Of
jurisdiction. Also the statute Of
limitations will expire this fall.
Senator Dale CR0 of Vermont
believes that it would be neces-
sary to turn the evidence concern
ing Bishop Cannon's failure to
file campaign funds reports over
to the Grand Jury before that
time.
Nye Sees LOOphOIe
Chairman Nye believes the
statute of limitations may not ex-
ptre until later, on the ground
that if he failed to file in Septem-
ber he also failed to file in the
ensuing months.
Cannon's suit against the Senate
committee was filed immedi-
ately before his departure for
Europe, where he is attending

String Bean Waiting
For Drought End
GrOws Beard

Believe 1t or not, but string
bean with a six.inch beard was
found in the garden of William
T. McCormac, of Capttol
Heights, Md.
Perhaps it's last years bean
weary of the long struggle
through drought. perhaps it was
just born old-and then again
it may have been planted a

DON'T let any one tell you that be-
~ cause Of his miniature size, Dave
Thompson. pro at the Washington Golf
and Country Club, cannot knock that
golf ball from here to there as well as
bigger man. Last Friday Davie put to-
gether two perfect shots to reach the
fifteenth green with young gale blow
ing in his face. And to make his feat
more impressive, he holed six-footer
for an eagle 3.
That tale of golf ball striking an
other and knocking 1t far down a hill
brought forth another yarn of the same
ilk. Pat Moore and G. H. Pardoe were
involved in the original episode, where
Moore's ball struck Pardoe's ball and
started it rolling down hill so yards
from where 1t had stopped. And few
lays later Denise Barkalow hit ball on
the fifteenth hole at Washington which
collided with the ball of p, w. Calfee
perched on a sloping hillside, knocked
it of its perch and both balls came to
rest In the ditch.

puts, and this Is to be found in the
action of the left hand and wrist. A
great many golfers, some Of fair abil-
ity, appear convinced that the putting
stroke is SO greatly business of the
hands and wrists that they cannot bring
themselves to allow the left hand and
arm to swing easily through the small
arc required by even a moderately long
putt. The abrupt stoppage of the left
hand and wrist inevitably results in the
putter blade being brought up sharply
just after unprecedented, usually at
the very moment of impact or before
with a consequent "nipping" of the
stroke and defective range for the ball.
If not also deviation from the proper
line.
1t might be said that the best cure
for this is simply not to do it. But in
order to provide something definite to
work on I might suggest that the right
forearm against the watch pocket of the
trousers makes fine anchor for the
back stroke-not actually immoyable,
but very nearly so, as far as the body
is concerned. Then, as the club is
swung through, DO not attempt to re-
strain either arm. but permit the mo-
mentum of the club to carry it through
the ball toward the hole. and let it
swing both arms along with it.
