Water Power
MOST authorities, however. have

MOST authorities, however, have
1V1 the idea that it is only a mat
ter of few decades until the sup
ply of petroleum gives out.
The same feeling holds true Of
natural gas. Besides, natural gas is
minor and not a major item in
the worlds supply of power.
Water-power is the subject Of
much discussion at the present
time. There are tremendous hydro
electric plants at such favorable
sites as Niagara Falls.
The United States Geological
Survey has estimated the total
water power in the United States
as 34,818,000-hcrse power available
80 per cent Of the time, or $685.
000- power available so per
cent of the time.
Of this amount, about 100000
horse power are being utilized at
the present time.
Development of the remainder
presents extreme difficulties in some
cases. Much of the water power is
very remote from industrial centers.
Some of the sites are too small for
present-day uses.
All over the United States are
abandoned water wheels which
once ran sawmills, gristnlills and
the like.
About 10 per cent of the nations
water power lies in the Rocky
Mountain region and the states be-
yond them.
1t is, however, obvious that water
power sites not now practical would
become paying propositions as other
sources Of power gave out.
improvements in electrical trans
mission also may have much to do
with the future development of re-
mote power sites.
There remains the question of ths
worlds coal supply. This will be
dealt with in subsequent article.

Corruption Is Problem

THE majority of those who be-
l. lieTe the law has failed, and
who advocate modification or re-
peal, are not trying to make condi-
tons worse. but better Neither
have they become so obsessed with
the part played by liquor as to for
get the vastly more important part
played by lawlessneSs.
Whatever prohibition may have
accomplished in discouraging drunk
enness, it has accomplished much
more in encouraging every form OF
disrespect toward law. Crime never
f1ourished with such arrogance or
immunity in America as it does to-
day, never enjoyed such thoroughly
organized support, never was re-
garded with such a frivolous atti-
tude.
Not liquor, but corruption is the
problem.

means of farm relief"
Its wheat advisory committee says:
1.-THE present indications are that with an average
wheat crop this year. prices obtanabe will be far be-
low the cost of production causing great loss and
hardship to American farmers"
AS unpleasant as is this news it certainly seems
to to be better method of approach to the farm
problem than to encourage false hopes by spending
government millions in futile speculation to boost
prices.
The wheat advisory committee knows what it is
talking about. 1t has done American farmers serv-
ice in reminding them of disagreeable fact The
farmer must beat the surplus, or the surplus will
beat him.
When will the farmer learn to stop planting?
They Hustled the East
Many have tried to their sorrow to push the Orient
into western civilization faster than it wanted to GO
Kipling said it couldn't be done when he wrote:
And the end of the fight is a tombstone white
with the name Of the late deceased
And the epitaph dread: "A fool lies here who
tried to hustle the eastP"
But three royal gentlemen of siam the last of
whom soon will arrive here with his little queen have
come nearer succeeding than any except the modern
rulers of Japan In two generations old King
Chulalongkorn and his two Oxford-bred sons,
Rama VI and Prajadhipok, have made over their
kingdom that lies in the heart OF the far east.
They have abolished slavery, the harem, much
superstition. They have established postal and tele-
graph systems; built good roads, pure water works
for their metropolis, Bangkok instituted cooperative
rural credits compulsory education and vaccination,
metric system, conservation Jaws for fisheries en-
couraged the formation of Pasteur institution for
tropical diseases Red Cross and society for pres
ervaton of arts.
Rama and the present king created and supported
the Siamese Boy Scouts, called wild Tigers" Queen
Rambaibhan like Mrs. Hoover, is head Of the Girl
Scouts
Siam had the first aerial postal delivery in the
Orient. Its university is modern, not only in its
curriculum, but in its craze for football and boat
racing, tennis and golf.
Democracy these modern rulers like some of our
western ones have not espoused But they have been
benevolent monarchs. The present king and his con-
sort love the talkies movies, radio, golf
Until he suffered the eye affection that brings him
here for an operation, Prajadhipok was a smiling,
happy little king his brother and his father
And that, doubtless is why they have been permitted
to hustle the east
Whether the people of Siam are happier in the

Mr., Ford Speaks Again

INTENTION autos and Henry Ford
4V1 comes strolling into the
picture. This is due not only to the
100000 cars he has made and sold,
but to a fondness for tackling any
thing that comes his way, whether
it is a peace ship or prohibition.
He may or may not have con-
victions regarding the end of the
universe, but he can speak with as
surance when it comes to the end Of
the eighteenth amendment. Wages
will go down, he predicts, if such a
misfortune should overtake us.
He is not disturbed by that I'M
happy prospect however, because of
a feeling that big business will save
Volsteadism. Considering all that
has ben said about million-dollar
rum rings and international syn
dicates, not to mention the openly
avowed wetness Of some rather i'm
portant fnanciers and captains of
industry, there is ground for
suspicion that big business falls
short of being 100 per cent dry. But
let that pass.

ExpIodeS Own Argument

tXpIOdeS Own Argument
MIR. Ford's pessimistic idea OF
4V1 what would happen if pro-
hibition came to an end is based
on the assumption that sobriety goes
with it. He explodes that assump-
ton when he admits the ability to
get sober workers in countries where
there is no such thing as local
option, much less the eighteenth
amendment.
If it is possible for him to get
temperate, reliable workers in Eng
land or France, where the sale of
liquor still is legal, why should he
be so sure that repeal of prohibition
in this country would produce in
temperate and unreliable workers?
AS matter of common sense,
very little of the prohibition
sentiment can be traced to a desire
for more drunkenness, or a belief
that more drunkenness would fol-
low.
Millions Of people have changed
their minds regarding prohibition,
not because of what it has done to
promote temperance among older
people, but for the way it has pop
ularized drinking among young
people, and more than all else be-
cause of what it has done to finance,
a corrupt alliance among bootleg
gers, criminal and political poll
ticianS.

Coaches today are given time
to experiment and test their
players and thus detect natural
ability. In the old days, little
time was devoted to coaching.
The players had to learn their
football in competition.
The small, smart chap had TO
take his chances, and, more
often than not, was badly mauled
before he had a chance to learn
the tricks of the game.
The fundamental plays haven't
changed, Harry says. The i've
primary offensive plays are still
the basis for all plays, despite
the wider and more complicated
use of the forward pass, an IN
strument still in crude state IN
Costello's playing days.
Old Coaches Knew Game
But greater deception and in

The coaches back in 1910 had

those of today, but they did not

tunity to impart it to their pupils.

Of MONOPOLY.
BY TECH
BY GARRETT WATERS .,


Techs important victory over
Central last week in the inter
high school series, practically
clinching the championship for
the Manual Trainers for the
fourth consecutive year, may
have quieted the enthusiasm pre-
dicted for the remaining games
on schedule somewhat, but the
age-old interest is not expected
to drop an inch, point, or what
haveyou, from this time on until
the ending of the season.
Pray for Breaks
At least it will not decrease If
the interest of past campaigns is
to be taken as any illustration at
all. It seems hope eternal is the
byword of the teams behind the
leading Manual Trainers every
year.
They live and play their re-
naming games in the hope
that something might happen
to their despised rival-Tech-
and that the breaks will so
happen that they will fall their
way, bringing about a sudden
new order of things, etc.
Thus, with this thought in
mind, will the Western, Eastern,
Central and Business elevens go
into their games during the next
two weeks. The first-named two
play tomorrow at the usual place
and hour-the Central Stadium
at $3.50 o'clock-while Central
meets Business on Friday in the
contests for this week.
Drama Would Rule
AS Tech is not scheduled, Cen
trail and Western, the lone teams
left in the race holding mathe-
matical chances of noSing the
Manual Trainers out if such should
ever happen. figure important
ground can be gained by victories
this week.
Then, should the hoped for
come to pass-shOuld Eastern or
Business do the almost unbe-
lievabIe by tripping the Manual
Trainers - then will they be
close enough to step into the
order of things and fight Tech
to q finish "a finish which
would be q dramatic one any
way you look at it.
The scholastic schedule, outside

for three other teams this week,

contests come on Friday. Emer-
