In the northwest, two great dams begin a similar system on the Columbia, and in the northeast waits the. St Lawrence develop ment, spread out only on paper. because Congress turned it down at the last session.
 Add in the fact that the Recla- nation Service is already operating 2S hydro-electric dams, and that besides the "big four" named above, Public Works funds went to 9T municipal and county electric projects in 30 states. and you can see how big an effort is being made to make America "kilowatt. conscious"
 HAS INDIRECT BENEFIT
 "All that's very nice for the peo- pie who happen to live in the Ten nessee Valley or the Columbia Val ley" commented Pa Jones, "but we aren't in any of them. What do we get out of all this electric hull labaloo?"
 Not much directly" admitted John, Jr. But indirectly, we stand to get something out of it. All these big projects are going to sell power pretty cheap. They form 'yardsticks' to measure the rates of private companies.
 "In cities like this one, where charges are pretty steep, it helps to be able to cite figures from the government plants. Quite a few cities outside the Tennessee region have received reductions, because the companies notice that cities hesitate less now to go ahead and build their own plants if they don't like the rates.
 And of course, in the cities served by the government plants, they get cheap rates quickly. At Tupelo, Miss Chats the first city to get Tennessee Valley Authority power), noticed just the other day that rates fell quite a lot, and 75 per cent more electricity was used"

 Organization

Little Rock, Ark (UP)-Cen- tralization of law enforcement au- thority is urged by Carl B. Bailey attorney general-elect, to take Ar kansas from the top of the list where a citizens chances of being murdered are greater than in any other state.
 He would centralize that en- forcement in the attorney gener- aPs office, the same as federal off, cers work under supervision of the United States district attorney.
 "The state law enforcement problem is exactly analogous to that of the federal government" he said, land it we are to give it the same intelligent treatment as that adopted by the national gov ernment there would be a very marked improvement in crime con- ditions in this state"
 A recent tabulation of the Unit. ed States Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, placed Arr kansas at the top of the murder rate list with 17.6 killings per 10000 residents during the first six months this year. The national average was AS.
 Governor J. M. Futrell has ad- vocated state police organization similar to the Texas Rangers" and his proposal is certain to come before the legislature when it con venes in January.
 The ideas of the governor and the attorney general-elect closely coincide.

M The Local Theaters
STATE

Miss Teasdalo and Miss Louise are sene in the roles of mother and daughter with Atwill as the husband and father, and Cortez the menacing, although magnetic figure, who threatens to destroy the aristocratic household.
 The theme, based on Lajos Zil- ahy's play and Gilbert Miller's sensational Broadway production, deals with the fatal fascination of a young girl for popular but interruptions actor which ulti- mately results in a baffling mur- der. Several persons are sus- pected of the crime and two sep arate women confess to it. The police finally manage to untangle the intricately woven threads of crime in a strange and smashing climax, which brings scandal to a great diplomats family.
 Others in the cast include c. Aubrey Smith, Dorothy Tree, Helen Trenholme, Hobart Cavan- anaugh, Robert Barrat, Hal K. Dawson, Russell Hicks, Spencer Charters and Etienne Girardot.

GREAT DAM SYSTEM MAY BENEFTTTO THE WHOLE COUNTRY

sTt's got to make happy homes
 for a deuce of lot of people be- fore you come out even on proposition like that"
 STEM FLOODS, SAVE LAND "Of course, don't know just how that'l work out" admitted John, Jr, ''but you want to re-
 member that all these big dams serve other purposes than just 70 generate electricity. Most of them will help with irrigation, and fiood control, and even navigation. They'll help stop erosion of farm land and loss by sitting up of channels and low farm lana. There should be a lot of good ef-
 fects from them besides just the electric power angle.
 "Also. they tie in with what we were talking about the other night, with the idea of getting people te move out of the big cities and start a new kind of life. Around every one of these dams there ought to be small towns and communities where there'll be cheap electric power, and where a man can live as well as in town, as far as con- veniences are concerned, and yet be in the country.
 HELPS ATTRACT INDUSTRY "The cheaper power ought to bring some industries to the dams, enough anyway to give work to the people who go there.
 l J"And yet, there'll be room for them to have some land with their homes and do enough farming to
 help out and give them a better
 chance to live independently than
 they had in town"
 "So that's why they build these
 dams where there aren't any peo- pie 2" queried Pa Jones, sharply.
 Well, you have to build a power
 dam where nature makes place for it, dad, and the assumption is that if the people around there haven't learned to use electricity, you can teach 'em, and If there
 aren't any people when the dams
 built, there will be soon after.
 when the juice starts to flow.
 PA CONCEDES A POINT
 "The hope is that they will come from the cities where there aren't any jobs, from the farms where they have coal oil lamps and poor crops, and from the coal fields where they aren't ever going to dig as much coal as they used to-" Anyway, there's one thing about the money that's going into things like these," Pa Jones colsoled
 himself. Its going into labor and materials and it's leaving perma-
 nent equipment and improvements behind.
 And that's more than can be said of lot of the money that's being shoveled out these days. "But if they can do a tenth of
 these things you say they hope to do, why, then I say, more power to 'em.'"

Petition Presented
 For Recreation Site
Park Commissioners Refer Request for West Side Hill
 Hill Playground to Aldermen

Ex-Mayor F. P. Guilfoile and Rev Hidgeway Shinn headed a committee from West Side Hill at- tending the meeting of the park board yesterday to present re- quest from residents of the sec- ton for the establishment of a playground there. Two estimated sites, neither of which would cost over $1,000, were suggested by the committee, which also included Miss Lulu Murphy, who spoke in favor of the action.
 The committee was informed that the board of aldermen must sanction purchase of the land and was advised to bring the matter to their attention.
 Announcement of a program of work in the park department cost ing approximately $S0,000, half of which would be for labor involved and would be provided by the EZRA, was made by Superintend- ent of Park Irving W. Harrison.
 The program would include such projects as the removal of the bird house at Fulton park. build
