Public Power Wins Again

The people Of Memphis, Tenn,
seem to have been about as thorough
~ sold on the merits of publicly
owned and distributed electric power
As any people could possibly be.
At the recent election, the voters
Of Memphis were asked to approve .
100000 bond issue to acquire an
electric distribution system for IVA
power. BY the amazing vote Of 33,476
to 1,948 the bond issue was carried.
Not only is this an unprecedented
majority for approval Of = bond issue
especially at this moment, when
voters are loath to saddle local gov
ernments with new obligations-but
the affirmative vote was nearly 10000
above the total vote ordinarily cast
in q Memphis election.
Whatever the rest Of the country
may think Of the iva plan, Memphis
evidently is heartily in favor Of 1t.

The Seaway Looms
Duluth Herald)

A new and dynamic force seems to
be operating In the campaign for the
st. Lawrence seaway.
A week ago several United States
senator's opposing the ratification Of
the seaway. treaty with Canada were
defeated, replaced by men who 1t Is
believed will favor it. The next day
Senator ]. Ham Lewis OF Illinois, q
persistent seaway foe. publicly an.
nounced that in his opinion the sea-
way treaty would be ratified by the
senate during the coming session,
because certain Objectionable clauses
ic the treaty were to be modified.
Following this came the news that
the Chicago Sanitary district would
no longer offer objections to the pro-
ject and would conform to the United
States supreme courts decree fixing
the volume of water diverted from
Lake Michigan.
The removal Of this Chicago oppo-
sition which for SO long has been
bitter and incorporating. Is one Of
the most favorable factors In the
seaway campaign.
Last night still another encourag-
ing development was the report Of q
power survey made by the New York
State Powe,: authority and made pub
lie at the order Of President Roose-
welt. This report relates to large saw
ings that Will accrue to New York

The Books Children Choose
Usually Best for Them

Mother knows best about most
/, thines, but not necessarily about the
books her children should read.
This blunt statement u made in
The current issue Of The Parents
Magazine. It, author, Josetts Frank,
makes It g = result Of long expert
onoe Ia the Child Study association;
and this experience leads her to lay
down . very simple common sense
rule about books for children.
No book, abe says, u Q good book
Tor Q child II It fails to interest him.
Conversely, II 1t does interest him It
very likely Is q good book-for him:
although the child next door might
not like It at Ill.
One Of our little 1ailings is our easy
going habit Of assuming that I'll chill
dren are pretty much alike In their
tastes. We don't make that mistake
with adults; We are ready enough to
admit that one man may like the
works Of q. 3. Van Dine while hts
nsighbor prefers Sinclair Lewis. But
~ take It for granted that Ill chill
dren viii like the same thing.
Furthermore. We Jump to the con-
clusion that they will like the books
No ourselves liked as children. We
were enthralled. for instance, by the
Henty books; therefore junior will eat
them up. and II he doesn't there must
be something wrong with him.
Many q father has actually been
mortified to discover that such q book
az "Kim" bored his son to distrac-
ton, while "Ivanhoe"-which the
father himself never could endure
is swallowed whole with great avid
ity.
Al a matter Of fact, the parent s
responsibility in regard to the books
his children read Is q good deal less
than We sometimes suppose.
About all the father or mother can
do y see to 1t that good books are
available to the youngsters. There
are many mansions In the realm OF
literature: provide the children with
the hey, turn them loose-and let
them settle where they choose.
Children are great ones to recog-
ni1e Shams and to detect the second
rate. Ordinarily, q child will In
stinctively prefer q good book to q
poor one.
We do our part when we put the
good books before him. II he goes
ahead and likes what he chooses tc
like, instead OF what we think he
ought to like, there's precious little
We can do about 1t.

The sea colony of movieland is

had to be vacated during these high
tides, without so much as backward

We heard an audience burst into
applause when the title, Belle of the
Nineties" flashed up in a boulevard
theater at q preview of Mae Vests
much-discussed new picture. The
public seems to have hearty feeling
about the gorgeous Mae, and the
picture, which has gone through more
housekeeping than anything coming
out of Hollywood in some time, has
emerged in much better condition than
expected
The housekeeping included
couple of turn-downs from censorship
boards before the much-coveted seal
of purity was awarded But there it
is now, approved by the Hays board,
though a bit jerky from blackouts
originally intended to follow some
smashing Westian sally. Such things
need not occur In another West film,
as the studio knows that the day of
such sallies is over and the story will
have to be the integral part of Mae
Vests work plus her very able gift
of characterizing and her genius for
timing
"Gentlemen's Choice" is the title
for the next West picture, although
the story is not yet complete. Title
troubles over, studios often relax
about the story itself.
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pick
ford see each other couple Of times

The king of cinema has suffered

the part of his friends, all of whom
seem determined to drive him back
to Mary Pickford's arms, willy-nilly.
Joseph Schenck, speaking about them,
says he is sure, If there is no recon-
Citation, it win remain a friendly

is the formula laid out by Hollywood,
that is to be expected.
