International Project to Cost
$252,728,200, Estimate.
POWER PLANT POSSIBLE
Great Dam to Be Built at Long
Sault iftplds That Will Develop
1 ,4 6 4,0 00 Horsepower.
DETROIT. The cost of making
the St. Lawrence river between the
Lake Ontario and Montreal navigable
to deep-sea vessels was estimated at
S252.728.200 by Colonel W. P. Woden.
United States army engineer, and
W. A. Bowden. chief engineer of the
Canadian department of railways and
engineer, who made an 18 months"
survey of the proposed Iakes-to-the-oceao
route for the International
, joint commission. This cost, they
reported, would provide for a channel
depth of 25 feet with provision In
the permanent Improvements for in
creasing the depth to 30 feet, if de
sirable, at an additional cost of 117.
986.180.
Maintenance was estimated at $2.
6-62,000 annually. Their recommenda
tions, however, contemplated also
development of a power plant' that
would produce 1,464,000 horsepower.
This plant, bulit on a great dam at
Long Sault rapids, near Ogdensburg,
N. Y., it was declared, could be ex
pected to produce about 40 per cent
of the potential power In the St.
Lawrence river.
River Has Drop of 220 Feet.
The improvement programme rec
ommended by the engineers contem
plated! a series of nine locks. 33 miles
of canals, 40M miles of lake channel
and 108 miles of river channel. These
Improvements were conceived to take
care of the 220-foot drop from Lake
Ontario to Montreal.
Locks 824 feet long by 80 feet wide
were recommended. Canals with a
bottom width of 200 feet and a sur
face width of 320 feet were suggested,
and it was recommended that all
open channels have a bottom width
of at least 450 feet.
The Improvements recommended by
the United States and Canadian engi
neers called for three locks between
Montreal and Lake St. Louis; three
between Lake St. Louis and Lake St.
. Francis, and three between Lake St.
Francis and Chimney Point, near
Ogdensburg, N. Y.
New Canal la for Big Veaael.
The main dam of the proposed
hydro-electric plant at Long Sault
rapids would . develop a head of 74
feet, the engineers reported. An
emergency dam at Ogden island, to
be used for regulation and additional
safety also was recommended.
The new Welland ship canal being
constructed by the Canadian gov
ernment Is being built to accommo
date vessels 800 feet long with a
draft of 25 feet. Provision Is made,
however, for deepening the useable
depth later to 30 feet. The canal Is
25 miles long- and steps down a drop
of 826 feet between Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario. It Is to have seven
lift locks, three of them twin locks
In flight, similar to the Gatun locks
of the Panama canal. It is estimated
that one of the locks can be filled
In eight minutes and that passage
through the canal can be made In
eight hours.
The new WellanJ Is the fourth
canal to be constructed by the Cana
dian government between Lake Erie
and Lake Ontario. The third, or
present canal. Is restricted to ves
sels of not more than 14 feet draft
with locks 270 feet long and 45 feet
wide.
The first Welland canal was built
as a private enterprise, being com
pleted In 1829. It Had 40 wooden
locks, each 110 feet long, 22 feet
wide and eight feet depth of water
on the sills.

VERTO.N'E who achieves a
ace in the sun, everyone who
' att
attains prominence of any
sort, or incurs notoriety, must expect a
bombardment of praise or blame,"
says Frances Woodbury, new leading
woman at the Baker theater. "To
many natures, and it seems most
prevalent in the theatrical nature,
adulation and praise are almost a nec
essity. There are persons who sim
ply cannot stand up under the breath
of criticism, and in the face of hos
tility or sarcasm their best possibili
ties wither and die.
"Others, equally desirous of praise,
are ruined by kind words. I have
witnessed It In my own profession.
Young men and women of the stage,
by dint of sheer ability and talents
and hard work, often rise heroic and
picturesque above their mates in the
theater, and If they are not extremely
sensible they are in grave danger
from that deadliest of all maladies
which attack professional folk,
whether of the arts, sciences or
sports, and that Is the Inflated head.
"Praise Is a marvelous stimulant to
new and higher endeavor when we
take that praise In moderation and
with modesty and a background of
common sense. But the woman or
the man who believes everything that
might be said In cBmmendatlon,' or,
as so often happens, in. merely polite
bird chatter or conversation-making,
is soon by way of being stupid with
conceit and ultimately an object of
ridicule and contempt with people
whose brains function. That admon
ition to 'take such-and-such with a
grain of Bait' applies perfectly when
one is taking praise."
Miss Woodbury is a Bostonlan and
a graduate of the New England con
servatory In the department of dra
matic art.
"I do not regret the three years
passenger, mall and parcel air serv
ice. Herf ra, who is returning to Spain
after a visit here, said that a com
pany Is now being formed to finance
this proposed first trans-Atlantic air
line, contemplating dividends of 6 per
cent, guaranteed by the government
of Spain, under a new law which
makes It possible to guarantee ven
tures of a public nature with public
funds. King Alphonso and Premier
Maura are enthusiastically In favor
of the new line, he said, and no diffi
culty Is expected In obtaining its
guarantee.
Herrera stated that the company
proposes to operate two airships of
the Zeppelin type, about 900 feet long,
and capable of carrying 70 passengers
besides the mall and parcel matter.
These craft are to be constructed In
Spain by German workmen and with
Germait materials so as to gain full
advantage of the technical experi
ence of the original Zeppelin de
signers. Herrera, who has left representa
tives In Buenos Aires to perfect his
plans here, said that he hoped that
the line would be In full operation in
1923.
WOMAN'S PARTY SEES RIFT
CONSUMERS' LEAGUE OPPOSED
TO CHANGE ADVOCATED.
, - . r- ,
Amendment to Constitution to RC'
move Disabilities on Account of
Sex or Marriage Inadvisable.
WASHINGTON, D. C-A vigorous
campaign against the National
Woman's party's proposed equality
amendment to the federal constitu
tion will be waged by . the. National
Consumers' league, according - to a
statement Issued by Mrs.- Florence
Kelley, its general secretary.
Tne consumers' ' league-attack on
the projected woman s party amend-
ment Indicates a rift In the ranks of
the woman's party on the advisa
bility of a federal amendment to re
move "political, civil or legal disabili
ties or inequalities on' account of sex
or marriage," as Mrs. Kelly has been
an active council member of the
woman's party.
Mrs. Kelley declares: "At the pres
ent time, 44 states either restrict the
working hours of women or have
minimum wage commissions, or do
both. A federal amendment to re
move 'civil or legal disabilities on
account of sex or marriage would en
danger. If not actually abolish, this
entire body of legislation. Also, such
an amendment as the woman's party
proposes would endanger a mass of
kindred measures enacted by the
...'v,--
I gave to studying voice and ex
pression, for it is a part of my plan
of life not to regret anything, but
I would not advise any girl to go
and do likewise," she says
"Any serious stage recruits who
are willing and ambitious to learn.
and willing to wait for the oppor
tunity which is the reward of de
votion to any trade or art. should
get their training in a good stock
company and directly In the theater.
I recall Frank Bacon's words not
long ago when he was addressing
a graduating class In dramatic art.
The class had just presented a class
play, in which all the eager and
hectic young players had simply acted
all over the place. In his whimsical,
quiet way the veteran, actor who had
learned, his art while touring ten-twenty-thirty
stands on this Pacific
coast congratulated the newly grad
uated thespians and Eald: "I never got
a diploma, and there must be a lot
sbout acting that I don't know. Your
diploma is proof positive that you are
now actors and actresses. It says
that you know how to act, but my
advice is that if you get a part in
a play, don't act much. It may be
all right to know all about acting,
but don't do It in a Tegular play,
don't do It so everybody can no
tice It."
Miss Woodbury opens Sunday in
"Why Marry?'' a comedy role. She
had an exciting time arriving here
at all. for her train was caught in
a snowslide somewhere In Montana
and routed around Seattle and a
dozen other places she had not an
ticipated visiting. Her trunks have
not arrived yet and she hasyhad to
fpend her first week running around
the shops acquiring clothes.
Miss Woodbury is a brunette with
a piquant, wistful expression and Is
quite like Marie Doro in type. She
has never been out here before, but
says that Portland is so like Boston
in Its atmosphere and Bplrit that
she already feels at home.
state legislatures and upheld by the
courts, as adapted to promote the
public health, and therefore within
the Constitution of the United States'.
The woman's party amendment Is
particularly dangerous In that. If en
acted. It entails perfectly new con
troversy In the courts over the mean
ing of the words 'civil' or 'legal' dis
abilities or Inequalities, and the
phrase 'disabilities on account of
marriage'."
Besides mapping out a plan to fore
stall the woman's party amendment,
the two days' meeting of the league
considered the present Industrial
status of women and unemployment.
Jeanette Rankin, former member of
congress- and now field secretary of
the National Consumers' league, led a
conference on minimum wage cam
paigns, which was participated In by
secretaries of Ohio consumers'
leagues. There were also conferences
on the application of consumers
league standards to hotels, and on fed
eral honest cloth legislation. A special
feature of the hotel conference was a
report by Maj-y E. LIndsley, manager
of the Grace Dodge hotel, on the
m odel conditions of employment ob
taining In the hotel, which is owned
and operated by the Young Women's
Christian association.
Among other speakers were Alfred
E. Zimmern of University college,
Wales, who has- been making a two
years study of post-war industrial
conditions on the continent; Grace
Abbott, the new chief of the federal
children's bureau; Elizabeth Brandeis,
seoretary of the minimum wage board
of the District of Columbia; Helen
Bryan. Mary W. Dewson and Mrs.
Florence Kelley, secretaries of the
Consumers' league.

AMERICANS FOR TREATY
WRITTEN NAVAL AGREEMENT
' FAVORED BY SOME.
Indications Seen of Trend of Opin
ion Toward Making Decisions
Formal Ones.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 24. (By
the Associated Press.) Whatever may
be the view in other official quarters,
at least a part of the American arms
delegation believes that any resulting
agreement on. naval armament should
be put into the form of a treaty.
Since the negotiations began inti
mations have come from high officials
that the probaoie outcome of the na
val discussions would be merely an
international "understanding," not re
quiring senate confirmation. It has
been suggested that "understandings"
as to policy are well within' the prov
ince of the executive and that the de
tail of scrapping ships could be ac
complished by an executive order
emanating from the same authority
which enables the navy- to rid Itself
without appealing to congress of ves
sels it considers no longer useful. But
an indication that opinion might now
be -turning rather toward the formal
treaty plan developed today when It
became known that there is in the
American delegation a tendency to
look on a treaty as the only logical
Instrument to carry out conference
decisions.
One or two delegates were said to
have strong convictions on the point
and to be ready to advance that so
Important an agreement ought not to
be left in the diplomatic status of an
"understanding."
The decision, so far as the United
States is concerned. Is expected to
rest with President Harding, although
it is taken for granted he will ask
for the opinion of his representatives.
GIRL INJURED AT PLAY
