USING WATER POVER IN PLAGE OF STEAN - ——— It Such Method Was Employed . Tong of Coal Could Be Saved. « New Yeork, Dec. 8.—"Utllizatlon of potential waterpower resources in this country and substitulng such power for steam would save 600,000,000 tons | of coal & year,” said Presldent John B. Miller of the Southern California ¥dison company of Los Angeles at the | closing session of the sivteenth an- nual convention of the Assoclation of | Life Insurance Presidents here this sfternoon. Mr. Miller urged the life insurance companies to make further inyestments in hydro-electric securities and help save the present | enormous waste in water power. Hig pubject was “Waste in Conservation of | Water Power." “We all know that there has been waste in the conservation of water| pawer because water power in this, country has not heen developed as it| should have been,” sald Mr. Miller, “That condition of waste in conser- vation lasted for over ten years— years which should have been spent in development, but now I am happy | to: state public opinion has forced a change in the law surrounding the development of water power, and vori the last two years there has been a great awakening in development. Con- gress has epacted laws which make it possible to finance water power de- yelopment with security to the invest. or, with every conservation and pro- tection of the public's ownership and interest. power | : | Many Horse Power. | “In the United States today there s water power developed and unde- yeloped amounting to 64,000,000 horse | power. Séventy per cent of this water ower is west of the Mississippi, and of this 70 per cent, 40, per cent is in the Pacific coast and Mountain states/ and 23 per cent is in the three Pacitic eodist states. At the same time there 4 in the United States 114,300,000 horse power in prime mover power, but .of this 65,000,000 is in locomo- | tives which should not perhang be used in this analysis, or at least net all of it. 23,000,000 is used by public utilities and 26,000,000 by manufac- gurers, mines and quarries. Of this prime mover power 70 per cent is lo. cated east of the Mississippi and 30 per cent west of the Mississippi. “Now if water power were substi- tuted for steam power, assuming the development of all of the 54,000,000 6tential water power resources of @ country, the eaving dn coal per agnum would be 600,000,000 tons, the wvalue of which on a pre-war basis would be $2,000,000,000. The equiva- l‘tx saving in oil would be 2,000,000, 000 barrels, with an approximate value of $2,000,000,000. At present pHees the values would be nearly quble—or $4,000,000,000, Its éqiuva- lent in man power would be 648,000, 000 men working eight hours a day. i Saving Labor. “#In addition to the saving in coal by ‘the_substitution of water power fori steam power, there would be a saving of the labor of 1,500 000 men ually jn the mines and for trans. pérting the coal, and’ of 1,000,000 freight cars_and 40,000 locomotives -Zfiv uséd for this purposc. 'New 1 take it that the greatest {nteérest which yoyr. ‘association can iYe in this: situation is, how can you consistently be a factor in helping to stop this waste iand ih bringing about ghe water power's development. “I have béen told that -out of $8,- 000,000,000 which you gentlemen have intiésted, only $71,000,000 is nvested in securities of électric Hight and pow- ar.-utilitied including steam driven as well as hydro power plants—less than one per cent. T take it that it is your desire not only tp+invest the funds entrusted to you with the utmost #afety, but where it is consistent with ghat safety to invest them in chan- mels that will conserve waste and in- crease productivity, you are glad to do so, and I suggest that the char- acter of the security of which I have spoken is well worthy of your inves- tigation, that you can find many prop- erties that will answer all of your * requirements for safety and conserva- tism, and at the same time help to P o P PR FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies Arve Using Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. | Halr that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and | lifoless, 1s caused by a lack of mul-| phur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Téa and| Sulphur to keop her locks dark and heautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that oven color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which lg so attractive, use only this| old-time recipe, | Nowadays we get this famoua mix- | ture improved by the addition of other Ingredients by asking at any | dryg store for a bottle of “Wyeth's| flage and Sulphur Compound,” which darkens the hair so naturally, so| evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just damp-| en a sponge or soft hrush with it and | draw this throngh your halr, taking' one small strand at a time, By morn- | ing the gray hair disappears: but| what delights the ladies with Wynlh'u‘ Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings | back the gloss and lugtre and gives it | an appearance of abundance, g s NOBLES' gAm( FAILS Queens and Princes are Reported to Have Lost Large Sums of Moneys When Financial Tinstitution ¥adls, Copenhagen, Dee. $.—~Dowager Queen Alexandra, of England, and her brother Prince Vajdemar, uncle of the King of Denmark, are report- ed to have lost large sums of money through the fuilure of the Lands-| mans Bank.
