'Then gently scan
your brother man"
—By Mr. Modestus—
A watt is a unit of measuring elee
trie current.
A kilowatt represents 1000 watts
It equals about one and one-third
horsepower of energy.
The installed generating capacity
for electric current in the U. S. in
1931 was about 45 million H.P.
Three million H.P. was added that
year.
Multiply that by 746 to get the
kilowatt capacity.
The total production was 91 billion
kilowatt hours.
Of that, 12 billion kilowatt hours
were sold for domestic use.
Book value of the plants and
equipment was about 13 billions.
Only the railroads of the country
represented a greater investment
They totaled a value of about 20
biHions.
Gross revenues from electric cur
rent sales in 1931 were 1,970 millions
They claim to have paid taxes of
220 millions.
Well, what of it?
What has all that to do with the
Great Depression?
It may have a lot to do with a re
covery from the depression.
Electric current, and its uses, are
just beginning.
They represent a large part of the
American "standard of living."
Because, 70 per cent of American
homes are wired for electricity.
The wires have been pushed out to
the farm homes.
Increasingly, mechanization implies
electrification.
Those 90 billion kilowatts will be
just a nuisance—
Without an increase in consumers.
Consumers are supposed to pay.
They must have money
Purchasing power.

And the electrical installments of
the U. S. have just begun.
Four great installations are on the
way.
Concrete is being poured now at
Boulder Dam.
Increases in the Muscle Shoals
plant are soon to start.
Several dams are being planned for
the Columbia river—
Over 3 million H.P. is now rushing
to the sea there, unharnassed.
The St. Lawrence river project will
hitch up two million H.P. more
In each of these the electrical in
stallation is partly incidental:
They involve also flood controls
navigation, irrigation.
When these are finished, 60 percent
of the nation's waterpower will still
be unharnessed.
There are 38 million H.P. in
rivers, waiting to be controlled.
That has been reduced to one and
a half pounds of coal.
Steam turbines and high-pressure
boilers have set new marks.
And the engineers are shooting
ahead of those marks.
But today—only about half of the
potential man-power is in use.
In such a case—what is the use of
all this kilowatt-horsepower stuff?
The generators, wires, transform
ers and motors are OX, mechanic
ally.
But they cannot be used by the 6
per cent of the poplation—
Who own the electric power trust,
and the railroads, and the radio
plants.
These have seen their outfit going
to smash—
Unless—
They learn how to distribute—
Purchasing power.
That is the power that controls.
And that power must be—some
how—
Democratized!
If growers in Kentucky and sur
rounding states carry out their in
tentions, 1933 will have the largest
acreage of Burley tobacco ever grown.

Glow Worms Set Trap
to Catch Food Supply
Most people are acquainted with the
glow worm—the InBect whose phos
phorescent light Is frequently seen in
country lanes. In Waltomo, North Is
land, New Zealand, there Is a cave
called the Glow-Worm cave, where
the Insects live under shelter.
By the light of a strong torch one
can see the worms overhead, with lit
tle threads which look like strings of
seed pearls hanging from them. The
strings are sticky and are the means
of catching mosquitoes and other tiny
Insects, which, attracted by the glow
worm's light, fly to their doom.
As they struggle on the sticky sur
face they set up vibrations which
warn the worm that a capture has
been made. The worm then hauls up
the threads and the victims are de
voured. Should there be no foolhardy
Insects to be captured, the worm can
live on its threads, which It eats and
then spins new ones. When observing
glow worms, It Is necessary to pre
serve absolute silence, for If the least
sound Is made the threads vibrate and
the glow worms put out their lights.
The worms owe their existence to a
certain fly which lives for a month
and lays eggs from which emerge the
glow worms these, In turn, live about
three months. At the end of that time
they spin a cocoon, from which In due
course more flies issue forth to lay
more eggs and thus start the strange
cycle again.—Tit-Bits Magazine.
Belgium'. War-Wreck, .!
Territory Is Rebuilt
Belgium Is bounded on the north
by the North sea and Holland, on the
east by Holland, Prussia and Luxem
burg, on the west and south by France.
The official estimate of population De
cember 31, 1930, was 8,129,824, Includ
ing Eupen and Malmedy. The Roman
Catholic religion Is dominant, although
full liberty of worship Is guaranteed
to all, and grants are made by the
state to ministers of all denomina
tions. Chief among Belgian exports
are manufactures of wool, cotton, flax,
leather and glassware, Iron, steel and
zinc products, and sugar. Many of
Belgium's cathedrals and public build
ings were destroyed during tl\e war,
Including the Cathedral of St. Pierre,
Louvaln, and the ancient University
of Louvaln, together with Its famous
library of more than 250.000 volumes.
Within ten years after the signing of
the armistice the reconstruction of the
devastated territory was practically
completed.
Growth of Hair
The average hair on the scalp Is said
to grow two Inches a month. This
growth is comparatively steady, while
hairs on other parts of the body do
their growing by spurts and jumps.
Our hair grows faster by day than by
night, and sun and warmth encourage
this growth while prolonged cold re
tards It. If not pulled out or blighted
by disease each normal hair lives a
normal life, dies, drops out and is re
placed by a new one. A hair In the
scalp lives from four years to many
times that age, while the average eye
lash lasts only about 160 days.—Path
finder Magazine.
Chineae Civilization
The civilization of China goes much
farther back than that of Japan. As
a matter of fact, Chinese civilization
was Introduced Into Japan about the
First century A. D. In modern times,
however, Japan has outstripped China
In many respects, Japan having adopt
ed western standards of living to a
much greater degree. While Japan
has shown a capacity equal to that of
any other known people and while Its
umnners and customs and certain In
stitutions were modified in ancient
times by Chinese culture, it has kept
pace with European and American civ
ilization.
Type* of Sottera
All setters, including the Gordon and
Trlsh, as well as the English, have
long, silky coats with plumed tails and
good feathering on the back of all
legs. The white of the English setter
Is ticked or spotted with black or
brown and frequently with similar col
oring In large patches on the head,
ears or body. In size, the English set
ter resembles the collie, being neither
large nor small as measured In terms
of the St. Bernard or the toy bull dog.
He Is among the aristocrats of dogdoin
and bows to no other breed In gentle
manly manners and obedience.
Cabinet Offices
The State, War, Post Office, and
Treasury departments are as old as
the government, having had their
counterparts before
adoption
of the
Constitution. The office of the At
torney General was also established in
1789, but the name was changed to
Department of Justice in 1870. Other
departments were established as fol
lows: Navy, 170S Interior, 1849 Agri
culture, 1889 Commerce and Labor,
1903 Labor, 1913.—Pathfinder Maga

Juarez Memorial
Benito Pablo Juarez was President
of Mexico from 1861 until 1871, ex
cept for a period from 1862 to 1867,
when a combination of European pow
ers placed Maximilian upon the throne
as emperor. The Hemlcycle of Juarez
Is a memorial to him and consists of
a group of statuary in a large semi
circular colonnade of white marble.
This stands on Avonlda Juarez at the
side of the Alameda In Mexico Cttty.
June will run far ahead of May, said
the corporation, which itself had
shown the largest total of such work
since last year.
"This substantial recovery is sig
nificant," the report said, "in that it
is recorded in advance of the start
of the federal public works program,
and because it is contrary to the us
ual trend of a declining building vol
ume with the approach of the sum
mer months."
REPEAL
Of Dry Act By End of Year
Seen By Labor
York City (ILNS)—Organised
labor, following its success in secur
ing the modification of the Volstead
act, predicts through Matthew Woll,
the repeal of the 18th amendment be
fore the close of the present year.
"The American Federation of La
bor at its convention last October
recommended repeal of the 18th
amendment. Since that date labor in
each of the sixteen states which have
voted repeal of the 18th amendment
was among the leading advocates of
repeal," said President Woll, of la
bor's national committee for modifi
cation of the Volstead act.
"Our success in these states and
the reports we have received from
our representatives in twenty-two
other states warrant the prediction
that 1934 will welcome the return of
sanity, of temperance, and the end of
fanaticism and racketeering, through
the repeal of the 18th amendment,"
continued President Woll.
The executive committee of labor's
national committee, meeting in New
York, reviewed the activities of the
last three months.
Reports indicated that with only
thirty-four states having legalized
the manufacture and sale of beer, em
ployment opportunities exist today
for almost one million workers who,
prior to the modification of the Vol
stead act, were among the unem
ployed.
The executive committee, upon rec
ommendation of President Woll, fol
lowing authorization of the American
Federation of Labor, voted to change
the official title to labor's national
committee for modification and re
peal.
Reviewing reports from each of the
thirty-two tetates
'Whete1in
|labor is
actively seeking either the repeal of
the 18th amendment or the modifica
tion of the state prohibition laws, it
was voted to make a more intensive
drive the next six months with the
belief that the necessary thirty-six
states will have voted repeal of the
18th amendment prior to January 1,
1934. This intensive drive is deemed
necessary to eliminate the over-confi
dence on the part of many who favor
repeal.
UNION MEMBERSHIP
CLIMBS
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—Mem
bership in A. F. of L. affiliated unions
continues to climb at a remarkable
rate.
Secretary Frank Morrison is issu
ing no figures, making no predictions.
But his office is in a fever of activity.
Requests for organizing literature
come each day from all sections of
the country and are filled as fast as
possible.
Meanwhile the federation watches
unemployment reports, hoping the
trend toward re-employment will con
tinue.
Expectations are the membership
growth, somewhat reminiscent of
war time, will find expression in lar
ger delegations to the coming con
vention.
Backing up its membership, the
federation is planning appearances in
more hearings under the national in
dustrial recovery act, expecting some
bitter battles against imposition of
unfair terms as to wages and hours.
Close study is being given the tex
tile code, which exempts a great num
ber of mill employes from its terms
and an appeal may be filed with Gen.
Johrlson, administrator, asking amend
ment of the code.
Steel, lumber, oil, printing, gar
ment and other big industry codes are
being watched for as likely to shape
the picture of America's living stand
ards.
