Power!
 To get the power necessary for Ter gigantic schemes of industrial ization, Soviet Russia has built Dnieprostroy, the grsabess hydro electric plant in the world drawing its energy from a dam 140 feet high, which impounds the drain age of 17O,0O0 square miles.
 The dam, soon to be formally opsned, is Russsa's biggest con s.ruction. But the Sovlss Unicr plans to build another dam g. volgastroy that will have ca racity three times Dnieplc1tloy's and win irrigate 10,O0O,OOO acres.
 Power has been the cornerstone of Russia's industrialization pro- gram. Since 1920 more than a score of large central stations and many small stations have been erected. Power plant output last year was l0.600,O00.000 kilowatt- hours, EWlce tnat CT 19z6 ana 1lV6 times the prewar output.
 Immense Production
 To existing capacity Dniepro- stroy is expected to add an average annual production of 2,52o,0o000o kilowatt hours. Its nine turbines, when in fun operation, will have a capacity of 750.0oO horsepower. This compared with 43o,0oO horse power at Americas Niagara Falls, and 6l2.00O at Muscle Shoals. Since only three of Dnieprostroy's nine turbines can operate at all seasons the plant will be supple mented with reserve steam plants

 Birthdays Celebrated
 In the latter years of his life pr. Patton's birthday anniyersar- ies were made the occasion of pub lie celebration by the residents of Hamilton. At these events it was his custom to make an address usually expressing his gratitude for the interest shown in him.
 Dr. Patton, who was the oldest living moderator of the Presbyter- ian General Assembly, was signal ly honored by that body at it's 1927 session when it voted to in- vite him to the 1923 assembly as it's special guest of honor in cele- bration of the fiftieth anniversary of his moderatorship. The Alliance O. Reformed Churches Throughout the World Holding the Presbyter- ian System also extended similar hcnors to Dr. Patton, who was ac- tive in organizing the general coun- Gil of that denomination in 1877 Celebrating it's golden jubilee witl, a special service at St. Giles Ca. thedral, Edinburgh in July, 1927 it invited pr, Patten to preach \ the, sermon. Although enthusiastic about accepting the invitation he jwas prevented from doing so be- cause of his advanced age.

to display the work in the club.

whether artists shall paint sub
jects of vital interest or shall be
confined to painting pretty flowers

pie.
I'VE have invited the showing of

we feel that it is vital expression
of a Los Angeles subject" said
Gage. IF the museum does not
care to show the painting we will
be happy to exhibit it."

tor and member of the jury of the
Salon D'Automne of Paris, invited
its exhibition in France next Oct

on the merits of the picture as a
work of art" he said.
Said Hutton:
Everyone of national or interna-

or other been painted by a fanatic
of some sort and has been misrep-
resented in such paintings.
THE painting looks like the work
of a lunatic. 1t represents the
opinion of only one person, an opin-
ion we do not believe is shared by
the general public"

they would refuse invitation to view
the painting. Mrs. Hudson. once

did not think she would be inter
eSted.
