RATE
GUT DUE To
RESULT
Revival of Proposal Which
Once Was Defeated Is
Due in Congress

Two aggressive Senators joined
today in advocating a revival OF
the proposal calling upon the Fed
eral Government to utilize the
potential power of Great Falls for
the production of electricity for
distribution throughout this area.
They were Senator Pat McCar-
ran DD, of Neva d a, a mem
Der of the Senate District Com
mittee, who has announced he will
launch a drive to bring about a
reduction of all utility rates here,
and Senator George Norris, Pro
gressive Nebraska Republican, who
sought years ago to have the
Great Falls converted into an
neutrality-suspicious. plant.
Senator McCarran indicated he
has virtually decided to introduce
legislation in the coming session
of Congress carrying such a pro-
posal, explaining that it would be
one step in his broad program
designed to bring about public
ownership of the local utilities.
Beaten in House
Senator Norris recalled that
during his early days in the Sen
ate he sponsored similar legisla-
ton, and twice obtained Senate
approval of it, but was beaten in
the House. He declared today
that he would be glad to Join
Fundamentally with Senator NC
Carran to have the legislation
passed at the coming session of
Congress.
Both pointed out that while the
House was the body which beat
Senator Norris proposition years
ago, such opposition is not ex.
pected from the House now in
view of the attitude of the Ad-
ministration on such proposals.
The Administration policy now is
directly in keeping with public
ownership and operation of utili-
ties.
With such a proposal being
sponsored by two such fighting
Senators. backed by the Admins
tration, chances of its enactment
would seem bright. Added to this
is the fact that Senator William
H. King (D0. of Utah, chairman
of the Senate District Committee,
has been a Staunch advocate of
such proposition since he first
came to Congress.
Called for Dams
Senator Norris related that the
last bill he sponsored for the con-
version TO Great Falls into such
a plant called for dam nine miles
long at the falls and a storage dam
above it to control the flow of the
water. He said surveys made at
the time showed that a vast
amount of electricity could be pro-
duced from project of that ma
Uure at Great Falls.
Both Senators Norris and Nc
Carran admitted that the cost of
in Washington now is
relatively low as compared to the
rates in other cities throughout
the country, but they added that
with the construction of their pro-
posed project Capital residents
would be assured of low rates for
all time, Senator Norris adding;
II sincerely believe it was be-
cause we threatened to make
use of Great Falls at the time
my bills were pending before
Congress that the rates here we're
lowered. / am still just as en-
thuSiastic over my proposal now
as I was then"

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-Paris is simply in q dither about madras. It seems to have happened all Of Q sudden. Some say 1t started over Q series of tailored biouBes made of the stun, some on waiBtcoat lines with mar. row revers, others with high necks and bow ties, worn with string colored dark toned rough linen suits for town.
 This madras vogue is the brain. child of young Charley Greed of the house of Henry Creed In the Rue Royale, whose tailored things are legend and legion in smart circles. Charley even has done beach costumes in this material. With a very tailored top he designs a full pieated kilt. Short and saucy, this notion already has been bought by fashion leaders who have worn shorts and shorts and who like what this abbreviated skirts does for the thighs and legs.
 In addition to madras biousos and bench outfits, there is .. crop of Creed madras gloves--desisn used on the bias--with the turned back cuff and button the outside of the wrist. And as if to prove how workable m idea this madras business is, Charley has made q madras umbrella with q mannish hooked handle of polished bamboo.

that made him postpone daily any attempt to go to work.
 Ordinarily he bad found vaudo. vile bookings easy to secure, but for some reason there seemed Co Dc very few theater managers who were willing to pay the price Con was obliged to demand for his set. This, Con assured himself, must be due to the fact that Henfr0o flad spread the news that he was tenn. peramenta1 and difficuit to handle and that he had walked out on the circus
 Business was not geod, the agents told him. Pictures drew better than vaudeville and c good single did as much to fiIl c house as an animal act. which entailed much greater expense. Cons act, they said, belonged in q circus any. way, where there were facilities for taking care Of the animals. Small theaters lacked the space necessary. Con heard the same 0b- jectlons over and over.
 Perhaps had conditions been diff. ferent he would not have given Amos Sidda1 and his farm so much as q thought, but after several days of vain attempts to ind employ ment it occurred to the animal trainer that there should be q wei. come for Madeline's husband at to recuperate there from his ili- of fresh milk, fresh eggs and little excitement.
 Besides that he could see Donna again. This ideG intrigued Con. He could see how she and her farmer husband were making out. Prob ably she would not offer him q very cordial welcome. On the other hand, she might be bored by this time with the life she had been leading. If that were true sh6 would receive her old friend with open arms.
 Con knew how Madeline and Donna had hoodwinked Amos Bid- da1 by exchanging Identities. Now he decided that, unless she had ad- mltted the truth to ths family, t was high time she should De com pelled 10 do 50. When 6randfa- ther Sidda1 died the fortune h6 left Co his grandchild would, by rflghts, belong to Madeiine'S huss band.
 Thus Con reasoned himself into frame of mind that sent him to ticket agency to buy a ticket to Lebanon There was no use, nc decided, to send word Co the farm that he was coming. He wanted to get the lay Of the 1Gnd before he walked fn on them.
 He was not conscious Of any de- side t0 injure Donna as i1e made these plans. If anyone were to suffer, Con thought, t would b6 her husband. Embittsred by the many blows he had received fn the past few months, Con cent6red his ranc0r on the man who, ne felt, had robbed him Of the only woman he had ever really loved.
 That Donna had never cared for him did not matter, or the fact that, if the blame lay 6t aHy6ne's door, it lay at MadeIin6's.
 Con argued that Donna had mar this, th6 whole structure Of his fu- tur6 had fal16n.

 (2) Dispose Of sDutum tD such way that 1t can be burned with. out being touched by any one,
 (3) Sleep iB bed and # pos. sibIe a room alone as long as one has any cough
 (5) Be careful not to kiss or pei or f0pdIe young children, and spend as little time ss possible near them, unless out of doors. "of course one adds to these the ordinary precautions Of wash. ing the hands, having individual drinking cups, etc, as observed by most decent people whether fl 0T not,

 Salt Makes You Fat and L0ggy.
 Please tell mo whether 1t is harmful to eat large quantities of salt on everything, want every. thing saJted so much that others can't eat 1t. e. F. s.)
 ADswer-Yes, too much salt not only encourages overeating but re. tains more water in the tissues of the body, which makes you Ioggy or faggy and easily tired. Every body needs a little salt daily. Per- sons exposed to extreme summer heat or artificial heat should con- sume salt rather freely on their food, even with their drinking water. Ordinary folk should either add no salt in cooking or else have none on the table.
