SILL BEFORE HOUSE NOW Legislation Psndine to Place Control of Water Power (■ Federal Hands With Provisions for Leasing. By Charles M. Thornton One of the Ms problems before our country today U that relating to Its water power. The use of electricity sod electrical power Is still Id its in- fancy. In the next fifty years It la bound to prow to tremendous propor- tions. It baa been said by those fa- miliar with the subject, that such questions as the currency and the tariff are relatively unimportant when compared with the question of the developing and harnessing of the water power of our country and con- verting It Into electrical energy fot ubc by our people. That is a strong statement, but I feel it does not go too far. ,.■"-■"-"-'■ Minute Part Utilized. In the bearings before our commit- tee on public lauds on this subject, it was pointed out that engineers have estimated that the total available horsepower in the - United States should be placed at 200,000,000. Of that possible development we have -to- day about 6,000,000 horsepower cre- ated from water powers. The very heart of this problem Is to be found in the sites along the parte of streams where there is sufficient full In the water to create power in ^^^$^1^^: which jjtetJM'a Uogers discovered 'an ancientiiidii Indian Hill Country club at Wln- netka was formerly opened Saturday afternoon with a tea dance from 4 until 7 o'clock.

By 4 o'clock in the afternoon ttit drives that lead to the clubhouse were alive with cars. In a few min- utes the orchestra was playing tango music and the dining room was full of dancers. -,---- The clubhouse Is remodeled from an old farmhouse, and the keynote of both architecture -and activities is simplicity. The main hall, which la also the living-room of the club, is an attractive place, with its cool, white woodwork, buff walla and its wicker furniture, blue wicker chairs ancr couches with green cushions ana green wicker chairs and couches with blue cushions, and other very smart, shiny black chairs and tables. There are designs of lockers painted 00 the club walls that have fooled many a warm and thirsty golfer. These lockers have a history. The club buildings once were used as a roadhouse arid was one of ihe beBt known "blind pigs" in the county. The buildings are of brick and stand in a grove or trees. The club was to have been called the Winhetka Country club until a little more than a year ago, when Mr. burying ground on the highest point Indian hill--where lies the eighth green of the golf course.

Groups of men of wealth and power, foreseeing the tremendous possibili- ties in this thine, have gone about ac- quiring and getting control of these dam-sites, pot for the purpose of de- veloping all of them, but with the ob- ject of developing some and keeping others from developing the remainder, thus limiting the supply of the prod- uct (electricity) and giving them an 1 ron-clad monopoly of it. Ar omr of the greatest authorities on the subject stated, in testifying before one com- mittee, "the essential danger In the water power problem Is the concentra- tion of ownership and control." A bill, (known as the Ferris bill) seeking to avoid and prevent that dan- ger, has been reported to the house by the committee on public lands. This bill, however, can only control those water power sites located on the pub- lic lands in the west. It provides for the leasing of dam-sites located on ■uch public lands for a period of not more than fifty years. The bill con- tains provisions which will insure prompt development, good service and reasonable rates to consumers and prevents monopoly. It further con- tains provisions whereby the people can take over the property and plant of the lessee at the termination of the lease at a compensation to be deter- mined aa provided in the bill or can lease for another term to the same or a new lessee on terms then to bo agreed upon.-------^*- Government Retains Control. Under such a leasing system tbu government retains control of the (lam-sites and thus holds the key to the entire Htuatlsh, and prevents these tremendously valuable sites from getting into the control of those who at least might, and If we are to Judge from past -.experience, would manipulate them for their own great financial Kain to the detriment oT the public generally who are really en titled to these benefits themselves. Our committee spent weeks in work upon this measure. Iti terms e*fe- auard the interests of the public in ^rtunity tor'"the emotionalist and this great utlllty^and insures a fair more for the wawmtri return to those who may invest In projects of this kind and every effort will be made to paw it In the near future. A very different measure (known as the Adamnou bill) la also pending, which covers the same subject so .far •* It relates to navigable streams. Un- less the latter bill la very materially amended in a number or particulars, I trust it may be deefated, for the meay necessary safeguards or the pub- lic Interest whieh are present In the Ferris bill are conspicuous for their absence when we examine the Adam- •on bill. :__________,_ Wilmette Pastor Addresses Des Plaines Meeting on Vital Subject. The Rev.

"The old methods of holding revival meetings, were not as potent as they might be," he said. "Largely through the efforts of its younger members our cbUrch is instituting a bettor, system of reaching men, which Is done by per- sonal contact with them.

Two important ordinances are now in the hands of the judiciary commit- tee of the village board of trustees, and will be brought up for final action at the meeting on Tuesday night, July 21. The ordinances cover the matter of turning the repair and management of Sheridan road over to the Lincoln j park commissioners and the other one is an ordinance drafted by Dr. E. EL Moore, health commissioner, to cause owners of horses and other animals to build proper boxes for manure and to abate the fly nuisance in this manner. Draft Meets Approval. The draft of the Sheridan road ordi- nance was presented by Mr. C. C. Car- naban. 700 Central avenue, at the last meeting of the board of trustees. The ordinance, aa he bad drafted it, bad met with favor by the attorney for the park commissioners.

This ordinance, modeled somewhat after the Evanston ordinance, would require each owner to build a cement lined box with a capacity of three cubic feet for each animal. The box would have a heavy metal cover and be so constructed that flies could not get in, or so that the manure would leak out, An ordinance similar has been In force tbu summer In Evanston and has been complied with quite general- ly. It baa done much to abate the flies. ,The chances are said to be good that this ordinance will be passed.

It was Woman's day and a record- breaking crowd was in attendance and liatened to one of the most interesting j programs of the entire meeting. New Hymns Denounced. New hymns written "in a hurry," as other "popular songs" are written, were denounced by the Rev. John Thompson. "Some of them are doggerel,'* he declared. "Many are quite senseless, having nothing but 'catchlneas* and a sort of rhyme to recommend them. Others are replete with theological untruth. If the preachers were as careless of truth as are the modern hymn writers they would be removed from the ministry." "All great religious leaders, such as John Wesley and Martin Luther, knew the value of good hymns. They put true religion Into their hymns, "These hymns certainly should be changed. Real aentlment should be put into them, instead of a conglom- eration of theological untruths.' The Rev. John L. Dickson, pastor of the Park Ridge Methodist church. breese at the meeting, in sa before the ministers in what Is the "preachers' hour.' "The next most Important rule to remember Is that all food should be h-trlctly fresh. This is especially Im- portant in regard to fruits, milk, fish and meats. Don't let the milk stand around in the warm kitchen. Keep it en Ice and disease-producing germs will not grow. Have Fish Fresh. ■• "Be certain fish is absolutely fresh, as it is one of the foods that is quite liable to cause ptomaine poisoning if a little tainted. Unripe or overripe fruit is very liable to cause trouble of the old-fashioned variety. "Leave all alcoholic drinks abso- lutely alone. "Eat Ice cream. Ice cream Is not only refreshing, but is wholesome, having a distinct food value. Be sure it is well made and is fresh. Eat it slowly and in moderate amounts. If la doubt as to the quality of fee cream you are buying, refer to this record. Avoid eating ice cream at the same meal with fish. The combination often causes severe intestinal disorder.

Plana are now being ronaiiored ay the North Shore Juvenile1 Protective association for the betterment of condi- tions along the north shore and mom particularly In Wilmette. "It is not the policy of this association," declared one of the officials, "to give publicity to any of the cases which come to oar notice, but if the conditions were made generally known which now exist in this community (meaning Wilmette) which is supposedly free from the more flagrant forms of public vice, some of the citizens would, to express it mildly, be greatly surprised; "Blind Pigs" are said to have been dis- covered both In areas Point and is Wilmette proper and cases of de- linquency of children and of adults contributing to delinquency ef chil- dren are frequent.
