One of the most rtarlnjpenglneerln?
tenia in the hlstorjof -man's struggle
to harnesther!ea:;of'ns,tnre is con
templateof -in- a oot of "pluii for the
lift-locks of the. proposed" American
canal between Iakes Erie" and On
tario, described, by Dr. J, A. L. Wad
dell. consulting jcngTnecri. 'in the, cur

Obvlouslithe blggeit profiled of
the project ls Involved- in tho-con-ttrnctloh
of locks -sufficiently Iar'g-
kAd strong and dependable to hoist
ships' from the lower lake to the level
of the other, 327 feet above.
Outlines Plan.
Sir. Waddell believes that the plan
lie outlines will solve the difficulty,
and he- submits argument .vto prove
his contention.- The locks he de
scribes would contain tanks, each 660
feet lone, seventy feet wide, and thlr
ty-flve feet deep.
The inner edges of the two tanks
'would be connected by wire ropes
running over a line of fifty-six
sheaves, each twenty feet in diameter,
ral each outer edge would be tcon--nected
by wire ropes running: over a
similar line of sheaves to a row of
large concrete counterweights.
The three piers, or walla, for sup
porting: the sheaves would be about
310 feet high and would vary in thick
ness from nine to seventeen and a
half feet. At each end of each tank
there would be provided a steel gate
operating vertically and dropping
Into a steel box filled with water. The
lifts would be operated by electricity.
M.r. Waddell estimates that ships as
Tinr as 650 feet and with a thirty
foot draft could be lifted in the locks
' le proposes. In other words the
-!Tt would make it possible for ocean
going ships to proceed to Lake Erie
-vorts.

TO BE PUNISHED
Herbert C Hoover, the Food Admin
istrator, made it perfectly clear to
day that recalcitrant hotel and res
taurant men who seek to evade the
conservation of wheat measures will
suffer heavily.
Word was received at the Food Ad
ministration that a large hotel in Chi
cago had refused to abide by the
hotel men's promise to absolutely
forego the use of u heat until next
harvest The hotel wis called on the
long distance telephone and given a
very strong, polite hint that It will be
much better to abide by the promise.
Sufficient power lies within the
Food Administration to make it
sevsre for any hotel that refuses. By
the order ot last Sunday all places
are asked to reduce wheat consump
tion to 60 par cent of their normal.
Now the hotels have promised to
make a 100 per cent reduction: but
there are some that have given broad
hints they will not agree. These
hotels will find that wholesalers will
not only not allow them their CO per
cent but that more drastic measures
nay be 'taken under orders from the
rood Admlnlstrutlon, and the whole
supply be cut off.
RYE FLOUR BANNED
FOR VICTORY BREAD
Use of rye wheat as a substitute
for wheat flour In the making of
Victory Dread must be discontinued
The Food Administration has decided
that It could not extend the limit of
March 31 on this use of rye flour by
bakers Supplies of rye have been
so diminished It wan deemed unwise
to continue It as an ingredient for
Vlctorj" Bread.

Two Reasons for
Buying Furniture bn Credit
.' The two reasons are Necessity and Convenience.
You may think that practically all the-people who buy on credit do5so v?j, j
from necessity; but that's far from the real facts about such buying. ." :'
Hundreds of our customers who are perfectly well able to pay spot. - . .
cash for their purchases use a charge account because of its convenience -and
because their ready money can be profitably employed elsewhere.
A careful examination of values and a comparison of prices have" .
shown these people that we sell a high grade of furniture without "
charging an extra penny for credit privileges. '
Every article is price marked in plain figures and purchases are
charged at these prices; without notes or interest. We arrange the
terms of an account according to the means of each individual custom
er, making the small weekly or monthly payments to suit them.
Young married couples can do best by coming to us; also the people
who have just-come to Washington to enter government service. We're
glad to give them exceptionally easy terms. . . ,
