utmost Importance from a ma

One young member, Repre-
sentative William M. Citron,
Democrat, of Connecticut. a 49,
year-old statesman, has spon-
sored a measure, his first bill,
which is considered one of the
most important and has the
power companies guessing.
1t provides for the setting
up of a Connecticut Valley Au-
thority comparable to the Ten
neSSee Valley Authority.
Provision is made for the au-
thority to harness the Connecti-
cut River for flood control and
electric poUer.
In keeping with the Presi-
dents views on power, it may
make young Mr.. CitrOn one of
the most important men in
Connecticut as we'll as elevate
him to national prominence.
Despite the many modes Of
dress adopted by members of
the New Congress, Senator j.
Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois.
Democratic whip, maintains the
lead for sartorial sequence.
His cranial adornment, which
some say is tinted, sets off

Hawaii Defense Need
Finally discovered

ing legislation to equip the
Army and to strengthen the de.
lenses of Hawaii the House
Committee continues to waste
time holding hearings at which
facts are reiterated that have
been available to every Con.
gress for the past 10 years.
There is some hope, however,
that with the defeat at the laSt1
national election of Congress.
man Ross Collins. of Mississippi,
the House Committee on Appro-
priationS may decide to 60 to
the defense of Hawaii and the
rescue of what is left of our lit
tie Army which in strength now
ranks with that of Greece.
BACKED BY PEOPLE
If the House Committee on
Appropriations will cooperate
with the President and the Sec
rotary of War and the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs
in saving what is left of our
military establishment this
Congress may decide to COM
plete the defenSeS of Hawaii
and to equip the Army. Such
a decision would doubtless en-.
counter the opposition of the
House Committee on Military
Affairs, but it would bring
Whole-hearted support from the
mass of the American people.
The defense of Hawaii is
predicated upon the theory that
the American fleet has sui.
fered a defeat or been caught
in the Atlantic and kept there
by the closing of the Panama
Canal. In such a contingency
the defense problem =. Hawaii
would be to prevent a hostile
force from capturing the Is.
land of Oahu and establishing
there a base from which to
launch an attack on the Pa
cific Coast.
If the recommendations of
our high command in the
Army and Navy for completing
the defenses of Hawaii are
followed by Congress the Is
land of Oahu can soon be
made the worlds most impreg.
nable fortress. And every de-
Tense problem worked out by
the Army and Navy since the
Urited States annexed Hawaii
has taught the lesson that the
force which holds Oahu holds
the key to the defense of the
United States in the Pacific.
No nation can object tn the
completio of the defenses Of
Ha vail unless it be a nation
which wishes to transform the
Pacific Ocean into it's own ma
tional lake. And the nation
that attempts to do that there
by threatens the national Sc
curity of this country in the
Pacific.

our cool earth matter is COM
posed of enormously complex
aggregationS of molecules, and
each molecule is composed Of
atoms. The atoms are com.

The electrons are negative

A similar instance is the
earth and the sun. The mo-

gravitational pull of the sun
is unable to pull the earth

is this that is constantly going

The great mystery, which

becomes of this intense radia-

OLD FAVORITES
There Was O. Little Girl

There little girl, who had little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead,
And when she good she very, very good,
But when she was bad she horrid.
She stood on her head, on her little trundlebed
With nobody by for to hinder;
She screamed and she squaled, she yelled and she
bawled
And drummed her little heels against the winder
Her mother heard the noise and thought it was the
boys
Playing in the empty attic,
She rushed upstairs, and caught her unawares,
And spanked her, most emphatic.

With average August conditions

Business in most lines in July and

Textile mills stepped up production
somewhat. consuming more cotton
than in June, 1885, or July, 1884
Tobacco manufacturers operated full

cigarette output. Markets opened in

Coal on. ut declined more than sea-
sonally because of abnormally large
reserve stocks held by consumers.
Retail trade In department stores In
July was 16 per cent better than in the

trade in groceries, hardware and drugs
was higher, though lower in drygoods

STOCK AVERAGES
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, August 3l.-The stock
market today moved listlessly through
the last session Of the month, but
many issues ended with an upward
slant.
The utilities and specialties lifted
their heads along with some Of the
leaders. Preholiday apathy marked
dealings throughout. The close was
steady to firm. Transfers approximated
100000 shares, one Of the smallest
volumes In more than q month.
Commission Houses LifeIess.
Commission houses generally showed
little life in view Of the fact that
scores of customers had started their
Labor day recess yesterday. Those who
appeared to scan the ticker tape, how
ever, were more inclined to buy than
sell. There was some scattered profit
taking, here and there, which was abb
sorbed without any especial dis
turbance.
Washington stimulation seemed TO
be absent and the European war sit
uation and still viewed as a negative
influence. Market commentators were
somewhat cautious in their forecasts,
although bullish opinions for the long
pull predominated.
Commodities were not altogether In
accord. Wheat rallied briskly, but
cotton was a bit backward most Of
the time. U. S. Government securi-
ties slipped moderately and corpora
ton loans were mixed. Foreign ex-
changes were quiet. affording no clue
to equity trends.
Shares Of Case and Columbia Pic
lures were run up about 2 points each.
Other gamers of fractions to around
a point included Paramount Pictures,
International Harvester, Deere, U. s.
Steel, American Telephone. Columbia
Gas, Standard Gas, American Water
Works, General Motors, Schenley, Du
Pont, Cerro de Pasco, American Can.
Socony- Vacuum, Briggs Mfg, Santa
Fe and N. Y. Central The rails edged
a shade in either direction.
Ethiopian Deal Discussed.
Advices from Ethiopia that Anglo
American interests had secured i'm
portant oil and mineral concessions
in the empire were discussed with
much interest In the financial Sec
tor, but petroleum stocks, on the
whole, were not stimulated unduly.
Analysts noted another decline in
automobile production for this week.
the total being estimated by Grams

week and 1886 a year ago. Eight
plants, however, were closed In prepa-
ration for the assembling of new
models which Is expected to start
within the next 30 days. It was
also said that retail sales Of cars
throughout the country were slowing
down in anticipation Of the new 1886
designs.
The Associated Press weekly index
of industrial activity sagged slightly
below seasonal expectations during
the week. In addition to the drop
in motor output, there were recess
sions in steel mill operations, cotton
manufacturing and freight loadings.
Residential building and electric
power production, at the same time.
rose to high marks for the year.
