This represents an increase of 15 per cent over 1953. Bonne ville, in its 17th annual report, gives major credit for the in crease in power production to addition of nine units of gen eration at Big Cliff-Detroit dam on the Santiam river in Oregon, Hungry Horse dam on the Flat head river in Montana and Mc- Nary dam on the Columbia. Record Gross Revenue . . BPA also realized record gross operating revenues of $45,317,- 693. Net revenues, however, de clined 9.72 per cent from the previous year, largely because of higher costs of new dams going into service and growth of the administration's transmis sion system, the report said. Customers during 1954 in cluded 79 publicly-owned utili ties, seven privately-owned utili- 1 ti :jii -an .f-J 1 agencies. These consumed a ' total of 18.8 billion kilowatt hours. 6.377 Circuit Miles - At the end of the fiscal year, BPA was operating 6,377 cir cuit miles of transmission lines and 158 substations, an increase of 670 miles of line and 13 substations. Looking to the future, Admin istrator William A. Pearl said "There : is every reason to be lieve the power requirements of the Pacific Northwest can be met through the new generation contemplated under the partner ship program and construction of recommended federal multi purpose projects such as Libby dam."

Remedies for Common Cold Gathered From All Over World; None Guaranteed New York (U.R) This is for bleary-eyed cold sufferers, who will be excused if they have to lay down their newspapers and blow their noses halfway through the story. No, there is not a new "mir acle" cure for colds. Larry Kaz of New York, who inspired this essay, is an authority on old cures, strange ones, and he ad mits it would be a miracle if any of them worked. But in desperation you might like to try one. Kaz, who has rounded up cold cures from all over, said his favorite comes from the Scot tish highlands. You catch a spid er, tie it in a piece of muslin around your neck. When the spider goes, so does your cold. In nearby Ireland, according to Kaz, they don't have anything to do with spiders. There, it's beetles. "In Donegal county," he said, "the traditional way to get rid of the sniffles is to put a beetle in a bottle. When the beetle dies, the patient has lost his cold." If you are squeamish about insects, try an old Pennsylvania Dutch remedy. The head of a fresh fish is stuffed in the pa tient's mouth and left there un til the nasal passages are clear ed. This tends to isolate the pa tient after a while, which is probably hygienic. Animals play a part in many of the remedies in the Kaz col lection. In Australia, the abor gines slice off the ear of a kang- BLAST VICTIM Navy Nurse Lt. Carolyn Shearer min isters to seaman Bobby D.

U.S. Expected To Take Refugees From Far East Manila (U.R) A ranking American diplomat said yesterday the United States will shortly start taking in refugees from Communist territories of the Far East who are in the Philip pines. Roland Kenney, American consul in Taipeh and director of the Far Eastern Refugee pro gram, said the U.S. plans to take in 9000 refugees from far eastern countries. Some 400 have already left for the U.S. since the program began last July, he said. Sl0 GIFT SPECIAL! Decorator designed to enhance any corner of your home.

Eskimoes make a paste out of whale blubber and run it across the bridge of the nose. A Traffic Stopper ' The most dramatic cure comes from Bosnia. A cold suffered is told to lie down, spread-eagle fashion, at the nearest cross roads. A copper coin is placed under his head. He is supposed to lie there until the cold clears up, although this cure has gone out of fashion somewhat since the advent of automobiles. Kaz scoffs at all these methods but he likes to spread them around as propaganda for elec tric vaporizers. He manufactures vaporizers and is anxious to point out how convenient it is to plug one in and sniff your cares away. Vaporizers are not new, by the way. Peasants in Germany have been treating colds for ages by sniffing the fumes of boiling beer. Mother Confesses To Dismembering Bodies of Sons Houston, Tex. (U.R) The brutally dismembered bodies of two young boys were found in a shallow grave near here yester day and the victims' mother, a five-and-dime store clerk, non chalantly told police that she had butchered them.
