THE DRYDEN UBSERVER PE La anada's Part $ 1. Queenston-Chippawa hydro-Electric power station of the Hydro- Electric Power Commission of Ontario on the Niagara River , near Niagara Falls Ontaric, Canada, as it will appear when #4 completed with the full installation of 550,000 to 606,000 h.p. ti There were six units of 55,000 h.p. each in operation in 1053 £) delivering power to the Commission's Niagara system. Two similar units will be added during 1924, ; 2. Gouin storage dam on the upper waters of the St. Maurice river Quebec, Canada, built by the Quebec Streams Commission for the regulation of flow of the St. Maurice for power purposes. The operation of the reservoir which has an area of 300 square miles and a capacity of 160 billion cubic feet has more than doubled the minimum flow of the river at Shawinigan Falls with a corresponding benefit to the power interests. 8. Hydre-Electric development at Cameron Falls on the Nipigon river, Ontario, of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, Canada. The plant has an ultimate designed capacity Co will play an important part in the first World : bE of 75,0600 h.p. of which 25,000 h.p. is now in use, power being transmitted to Port Arthur and Fort William. The Com- Power Conference that is to be held in London, England, from June 30th to July 12th, and this because after the United States, she possesses greater potential water powers than any other country and because in point of per capita production of electric power she stands almost at the head of all nations, her production, in this respect being three times greater than that of the United States. This is rapidly becoming the electric age, a fact which the impending Conference, which is being held under the auspices of the British Electrical and Allied Manu- facturers Association in co-operation with several of the most technical, scientific and industrial institutions throughout the World, emphasizes greatly. The Cana- dian committee consists of the leading members of the electrical engineering profession with Dr. Charles Cam- sell, deputy Minister of Mines as chairman. So far ag Canada is concerned the hydro-electric development is a twentieth century development. A quarter of a century ago there was very little hydro- electric development in Canada. In 1910 the turbine installation of water power plants in Canada was but 965,000 h.p.; in 1915 it was 2,078,000 h.p.; in 1920 it was 2,483,000 h.p.; in 1928 it was 3,228,000 h.p. Next year it is expected to be 4,000,000 h.p., the indications being that 5,000,000 h.p. will be reached by 1930. Canada is very fortunate in that her large water powers are located comparatively close to the centres of her industrial life. When it comes to ability to use her water powers she is immeasurably better off than the United States, 70 per cent of the latters being in the Western states, remote from industrial centres. Within a radius of 800 miles of the Long Sault rapids on the St. x mission are installing an additional 25,000 h.p. during 1924. 4. Hydro-Electric Development of the Manitoba Power Cempany Limited at Great Falls on the Winnipeg river, Canada. The initial installation =f 56,000 h.p. was brought into operation during 1923, the power being sold to and distributed by the Winnipeg Electric Railway Company Limited. It is proposed to add a third unit of 28,000 h.p. in 1924. The ultimate designed capacity of the plant is 168,000 h.p. Lawrence river, there are available water powers ex- ceeding 9,000,000 horse power. As it is through the development of water power that other operations are made cheaper, capital for it can be more readily secured, and it is for this reason that the power producing industry has progressed more rapidly than any other in Canada during the past few years. Briefly, the objects of the Power Conference are to consider how the industrial and scientific sources of power may be adjusted nationally and internationally; by considering the potential resources of each country in hydro-electric power, oil and minerals, by comparing experiences in the development of scientific agriculture, irrigation and transportation by land water and air; by conferences of civil, mechanical, marine and mining engineers; by consultation of the consumers of power and the manufacturers of the instruments of production, by discussion on the financial and economic phases of the industry, by conference on the possibility of establishing a permanent World Bureau for the collection of data, the preparation of inventories of the world's resources and the exchange of industrial and scientific information through the representatives of the various countries. It will be seen then, that the Dominion's part in the Conference cannot be a small one and that through the dissemination of knowledge of her resources she stands to gain considerably. Itisinterestingto notein this con- nection that for every new power scheme which calls for large investment, the money comes chiefly from abroad. Indeed it is probably that since 1918 several hundreds of millions of dollars have been secured in this way and it is impossible to overestimate the importance of water- power development as a means of attracting Capital to Canada. : UNKNOWN MAN KILLED on C.P.R. KENORA MINER & NEWS--Aug. 6.--The mangled remains of a young man were found this morning about 1.45 'on the C. P. R. railway track above the Main Street subway. The yheels had passed over his left arm, leg and shoulder and the head was severed. Two freight trains went west about 11 and 12 ofclock and it is thought that he had endeavoured to board one of these trains. He made a misstep and fell with the above ter- rible results. He was evidently beat- ing his way west to the harvest fields. He was about 22 years o fage and was comfortably dressed. As soon as the body was discovered the chief of police was notified. The only thing discover- ed which may lead to his indentifica- bits by the wheels. The portion with the name on is missing but it was ad- dressed to Streetsville, Ont. On an- other slip were the words "Dear Ma." it is evident that the unfortunate voun man had written to his mother, but had not posted it yet. About a year ago a similar accident occurred at the same place when a youn man from Toronto lost his life.

In business, in pleasure, in everyday life, physical fitness and good health are essential. A happy race is a healthy race, but far too little thought has been given to this seemingly obvious statement in days gone by. The Public Health nurse is essentially a teacher, her aim being to keep people well, and to help to point out to those with whom she comes in contact the right course te follow in the preservation of health and physical fitness. Her work is not confirmed to any particular age, bu to every age. It is just as important tor her to teach the expectant mother things she ought to know abou. halth as it is te advise a mother tha k { Infant oo keg or that the older boy or girl who hai adenoids should have them removed. It is equally important r her tc teach the simple laws of hygiene either personal or in the home, or in the community, and to warn people of the danger of communicable diseases There is scarcely any limit to the extent to which a public health nurse can be of service to the community, but her duties can be broadly outline: as follows: -- Care of expectant mothers. Regular and competent super vision of babies and of children o: pre-school age. To see that the child entering school has a complete physical ex amination made to determine how much he should study and how his physical condition may deter mine the trend of his life. Regular suervision in school by the nurse to see that a good physica' standard is maintained. A complete physical examinatior at the time the youth is about tc leave school and enter industry so that he may not start into worl for which he is not physically fitted. . A general knowledge of the living conditions and habits of the peo- ple with a view to the promotior of hygiene and sanitation and ar improved standard of health fo all.

Philadelphia, Aug. 5.--Florine Adams, eighteen-year-old girl who disappeared last March while on her way by train from Baltimore to her home in this city, was found by her father working as a telephone operator in New York City, suffering from amnesia. A coun- iry-wide search has been in progress since she disappeared. She had been working under the name of Jane Johnson and did no! recognize her father, when he greeted her at her place of employment, or ner mother after she arrived here. Even the sights about her home did not seem to awaken any response, Mr Adams said.
