Construction of a $3.50 horsepower
addition, which will double the capa--
city of the Duluth steam-electric
station of Minnesota Power g. Light
Company, is now under way,
M. L. Hubbard, president. announced
The Power Company last July an
nounced its intent to lild an addi-
ton 20 the Duluth power plant and
since that time has been placing
orders and obtaining as high priority
ratings as possible on the necessary
items of equipment and material. The
company supplies electric current fol-
the City of Ely.
The new generator to be installed
will be duplicate of TIE first unit
installed in the Duluth plant in 1881
and when completed in 1874? will bring
the total capacity of the plant to $1,000
horsepower. The addition, including
! new outdoor substation, switching
equipment and connecti1 lines, vii
cost an estimated $2,70C 00c
The new unit is expected to b.
ready for operation by mid-1943 ant
will play vital part in the company
system in supplying power to tn
rapidly expanding war industries Il
the region served The original Duluth
plant was built with view to expan
sion and the addition will utilize tn
same stack and intake tunnels. How
ever, the building itself will be en-
larged to care for the new boiler an
turbo-generator.

needed. At the peak of construction,
200 to 300 men will be employed. The
work will be done by contract.
With installation of the new unit,
the plant will double its consumption
of fuel, using over 900 tons of coal
daily when it is in full operation. The
coal is first pulverized tn the fineness
of powder and then blown into the
furnace where is burns IN suspension.
To condense the steam in the boilers,
intake tunnels from ST. Louis river
will deliver in excess of lis million
gallons of water daily, about ten times
as much as is pumped by the entire
water system of the City Of Duluth.
The present steam electric plant at
Duluth was operated "a hours a day
during the past winter to conserve as
much water as possible in the Com
pany's reservoirs, and with the run
off this spring very much less than
in ordinary years due to lack of snow
coverage it is expected that the plant
will see much operation during sue
ceeding months.

Whose Decision Is 1t?

Howard, a very tall boy of fourteen,
who looks at least seventeen, has beau
tiful wavy hair. He has been wanting
"heinie" haircut for long while,
but his mother has disapproved, as
she thinks his hair won't look attrac-
tive that way.
Recently Howard earned fifty cents
cutting neighbours lawn, and-you've
guessed it-spent the money having
his hair cut the way HE wanted it.
When he appeared at home he was
demonstrated with for "diobedience. I"
A man tells this story from his
childhood Until he was four
his mother kept his hair in long, girl
ish curls. One day an older boy
laughed at him, whereupon the child
went into the house and announced
to his mother that he wouldn't go
outside to play again until she cut
his hair. He stayed in week, stub
bornly resisting her pleas. Then she
gave in.
Whose should the decision be about
such personal matters? The mothers,
or the child's? But in deciding the
matter on ones own personal liking,
one ignores the fact that the child is
an individual, who has a right to HIS
opinion.
When his way of doing doesn't in
terfere with the freedom, comfort or
happiness of other people, shouldn't
he be allowed to do as he pleases?
"Ah, but" someone says, "How-
ards decision to have 'heinie' did
interfere with his mothers happi-
ness" I'll counter by saying, Should
not a mothers happiness consist in
those things that contribute most to
her chlidren's mental health?"

Through his cooking process plas-
tic plywood may be nodded into any
shape-even corkscrew.
Here is his companys explanation
of how it's done:
"A solid wooden mold is made in
the dimension of the fuselage. Slots
are cut where the fuselage ribs will
be. Into these slots are placed
strips of plywood.
The whole surface is then COW

whether mahogany, spruce, gum or
any desired wood, treated with
thermo-setting glue
THE form then is placed in a
specially designed bag and wheeled
into a pressure tank, or cooker,
which is like a huge baking oven.
THE air is drawn from the bag
by pumps. The bag thus clamps
itself onto the mold Steam and
air then are admitted into the
oven. They exert an exact and
complete pressure at every point of
surface.
Thus the plastic plywood is
formed on the molds, and the heat
seals all bonds. 1t is all done in
one operation"

Extension of Marine
Insurance Provided
By the Associated Press,

by mt hSoOCldtcd fiSSS.
NEW YORK, June 29.-The Amer
ican Institute of Marine Under
writer's has issued a set of wartime
extension clauses" which can be ad-
ded to marine insurance policies
upon payment of an additional pre-
MUM.
The announced purpose of the
clause is to provide continuous
automatic protection for cargo ship
>pers because of delays, forced dis
charges, transhipments and other
interruptions to delivery resulting
from abnormal wartime conditions.
The clauses apply only to marine
insurance and in no way extend war
risk insurance.
The institute said that under the
clauses there would be no time
limit on the insurance coverage at
the port of discharge while the
goods are delayed there in transit
to final destination.

Roosevelt Signs Bill
Extending Land Bank
Interest Rate
Declares Continuation
Of Reduction Is
Only Temporary

President Roosevelt today signed
a bill extending for two years the
3l7 per cent reduced interest rate on
Federal Land Bank and land bank
commissioner loans, and issued a
statement explaining his action,
saying:
1T will cost the Federal Treasury
somewhat over $67,000,000 in sub
sides during the two years it will
be effective. On the other
hand l believe that the necessity
of providing farm mortgage credit
on reasonable terms is beyond ques-
tioning.
H. R. 63l5 cannot, however, be
regarded as more than a palliative
nor serve as an excuse for deferring,
for a further unreasonable period,
the correction of substantial. basic
defects in the structure of the Fed
eral farm mortgage system that
have made it necessary TO throw
upon the Treasury expenses such as
those imposed by this legislation.
1T is plainly essential that steps
be taken promptly to so simplify
the pattern of the system as to
eliminate its present inherent in
efficiencies and thereby relieve the
Treasury of the recurrent burdens
of these unnecessary costs

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press


CHICAGO. June 29-Early de-
clines amounting to almost cent
carried wheat prices to new 1912
lows today but the market recovered
all the loss after midsession and
later fiuctuated nervously around
Saturdays close.
Increased receipts of new grain
in the harvest belt and more favor
able weather for field work and
crop production generally accounted
for early weakness, which was par
ticularly noticeable in the oats and
soybeans pits, where prices slumped
a cent or more Wheat rallied later
in response to buying attributed
partly to mills in connection with
flour sales to Government agencies.
Wheat closed unchanged to Z
lower compared with Saturday:
July, s1.15h "a; September, s1.18as;
corn, 1a-7s lower; July, 847s-a4;
September, 8734-5 oats, 1l2-2ls
cents lower; soybeans, l2-12s cents
lower; rye, 34-11s lower.
Oats prices were the lowest since
last August, being depressed by
selling in connection with the new
crop movement and prospects of a
large harvest. Corn was the lowest
in about month, rye near the
lowest of the year.
