ITALY'S SALVATION Italy, being devoid of coal de posits has been foYced" in the past few years to'1deTelop '"her - water power to a high degree oi emci ncy. i During the World war Italy was constantly confronted with the problem of coa:. At that time she was using about 12,009.000 tons of coal a year and 'was not then getting all she needed. With toe coming of the armistice her condition was even worse and the price of coa mounted to four times the price paid before the war. . This shortage f coal not only affected the : Industries of Italy. bnt;wiX'fiogfier?w'oI ha tlonal life. JPOrtnnately, however, Italy has ,benblessed with an abundant sttpply of water, tlw greatv "whO eoar fields of the Alps and the Apennines. In 1884 the city of Milan first developed hydroelectric power and since then the city, has increased its output until now it delivers 460.000.000 k. w. h. per year. Since this first development the hydroelectric power plants of Italy have increased until now over 1,- 000,000 horsepower is produced every year. Except for the years of the war, when several of the northern plants fell Into the hands of the enemy, there has been a steady growth of power 'plants. ' . Italy has in the hydroelectric field a great potential business. The water resources of Italy aire proportionately five times that of the United States. This will allow great development and will be one of Italy's leading businesses if foreign capital can be interested in the venture. , The Italians are. in no financial condition to pro mote any such enterprise that re quires the amount of capital that this water-power project will de mand. ' The hydroelectric development of Italy differ from any of those In the United States where large drainage, areas are used for the main power, in that the Italians use every little stream that flows from the glaciers. Great amounts of time and energy are spent In order to bring some little stream to a canal and hence get a little more water. In doing this the Italians have executed some very clever engineering feats. One of the most inteerestlng is a plant in the Alps., tea oy streams in the higher Alps, a reservoir is situated at the height of 7500 feet, consisting of a dam 400 feet In length and 200 feet high, with a capacity of 5,000000 ! cubic meters. The water from this reservoir falls through two power houses, one at the height of 2400 feet and another at the height of 1800 feet. These two plants develop per year 132,000, 000 k. w. h. .' The water for these houses is carried through nine-toot, tun nets at the end ot which It drops iqto a seven-foot steel tube. ' At the latter of the two houses there are two supply reserWolrs. During the day, when the horse power is taxed to capacity, the water flows from. the .upper to the lower reservoir, but at nlgnt. al- instead of . the power being lowed to gp to' waste, it is used to pump . the water . from the lower reservoir back Into the upper, tuns Insuring a supply lor the fol lowing day. i j PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS ( L03 Angeies Times) . , .America today needs: clean fighting politician needs thou sands of them and needs, them badly. . ; . . ; .She doesn't want to ..rely solely in .the few who have- graduated Into the statesman class; she L wants the lower ranks of the pro fession to be tilled with earnest, sincere honest,' two-fisted fighters.- ' . ' " For politics is a profession a' profession on which the good, of the country is vitally dependent a profession which should com mand the best talent of the na tion. J You hear people talk ot profes sional politicians in tones ot con tempt and disgust. In truth, to day we have hardly any profes sional politicians. We have pro fessional' vote getters; professional wire pullers, professional hot; air merchants, professional' trouble dodgers, professional prevaricat ors, professional adjusters' of pub lic blinders. These the country must, get rid of; they mus-t be replaced with? professional politicians.. No science requires deeper. study or more thorough training than the science of politics. Un fit candidates could , never wia elections to any public offices in America it every politician were trained in his profession and were as jealous of its reputation as members of the army, navy; church, 'bar or medical pxofes-' sions. A bunch of scallywags andt amateurs have crowded out tba professional politician They know nothing of ciivics or public policy or economic government, lne pool of politics has by. them been so fouled that respectable citi zens hold their noses and pass it by. But politics has to be cleaned a new type of politician must bt forthcoming, else the Officehold ers . in' America will every year sink to the tevel of poorer stamps ot citizen. And for this regeneration Am erica rias an abundance ot. good material. The right place to lay the foutf dation for the practice of good) clean politics is in our schools, colleges and universities. First of all the. reproach. thO stigma, at present attaching to the word politician, must be re moved. The coming gener,ato j should be taught that politics7 fa both a businsss and a sciehc and In an ideal 'state should be a form of religion. Let our boys and girls be con !nced that a politician does, hot of necessity have to be corrupt and venal; let them be further shown how to conduct successful ly a clean political campaign; and they will supply, in af,ter life, the big men ana women to take the initiative in this essential first aid to good governnrent. Competent instrutors must in still into their flexible minds the new theories of good political ethics; student bodies afford fair fields for putting these theories into practice.

WITH GRANDFATHER'S CANE Wilbur's grandfather and grandmother had come to i make them a visit. Wilbur was very obliging and polite to them, but he found it hard to get used to having older people in the house, for he had to be so much quieter and more .thoughtful ot little things. Grandfather "could tell very In teresting stories when he chose, though he . sometimes went to sleep in the middle of one,, which annoyed Wilbur very, -much. Grandfather couldn't see very well, and was a little hard of hearing. Wilbur found it hard to talk with her, but he tried to be quiet ; and ; ;, gentlemanly ; when around her. ' One afternoon when. grand father was asleep upstairs, Wil bur came In the house and found his blackthorn - cane in the hall He picked it up and examined it Idly, and then began to walk with it, tapping alon.gr the way his grandfather did. He found it fun and went on tapping down the hall. .jj v i? "Thought you were asleep, Zekiet," said a querulous voice. and WHbiir looked tip to see tils gran dm ether sitting ,in a -rocking chair in the living room right neaf ther door into the hall. Wil-1 bur stopped,, yery much afraid his grandmother "might be of tended ' when she knew he- Was Splaying ,grandtathef.M f , ; ; ' - "Every 'one's out now," she went on. "The house ,1s quieter than 'ever. Land sakesl IU have to go home pretty soon io's I can hear some good lively noise. It's like a tomb around here. ' That Wilbur's nothing like his father used to be, I can tell you, quiet little sissy-boy! Never mow he's around. Never hear his friends romping around the house or any thing, do you?". Wilbur grunted, , the way his grandfather sometimes did In stead of saying yes. .. "His father was aregular boy;? sighed grandmother. Wilbur - grasped his stick and tapped away up the stairs. When he knew he was beyond "hearing, he slippsd back downstairs, ' put the stick where he had found it, and went outdoors. In a few min utes he came running back in. "Grandmother," he cried, ; "how would you like some ice - cream? I just thought I'd go down tq'the store," and he slamed the door behind him as he came in.- .'e I PICTURE PUZZLE J Torn i Q word 5QDore from Lfie words pictured- hire t Amrtr f. yeaterdar .li. waaWnrtonJ (third totter ery time) f Jtdama (otrfl ana John Valnry; aeeond letter every tim;' Arthur (Wfrioiiiny in aqaar 16, very fourth letter) ; Taylor 4rarranire Mlaua ) i Fierce - (rearrange -eoltuna t'lTe). ; -v-.- . .
