WEST COAST NOT FEELINE EFFECTS OF CII FAMINE Super-Power Plants Are Now Showing Efficiency, Expert Claims. FUEL IS BOUGHT LOW Project for Ea3t Coast , It Is Believed, Will Cain Impetus. By United .Vwi WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.—Superpower plants. Situated In strategic In- • dustrial centers, to supply great areas Instead of mere communities —would prevent a repetition of the present fuel j famine conditions, according to Dr. George Otis Smith, director of the United States geological survey. 'Super power plants are demonstrating their efficiency seven days a week in west coast States, and industries there have experienced but little inconvenience, since the beginning of the anthracite and bituminous strikes.” Smith said in an interview with the United News. According do Smith, super-power plants are great consumers of coal, 1 hut scientific economy governs their j A operations. Hence no waste is charged to overhead expenses. Coal Bought Cheaply Long time contracts for coal, bought , at rock bottom prices and direct siding connections with trunk line rail- j roads, from the mines to the euper j power plants, are prime factors In the i general efficiency and economic prin- j ciples of scientific operation, according to Smith. "In the west coast States,” said Smith, "the super proposition is very popular. Power, light and heat are ; supplied to a number of cities linked up with the super-jjpwer circuits, and it is conceded by authorities in Indus- ; trial and economic affairs that this service is more economical than the individual system in vogue generally , throughout the nation.” The New England States realize that actual near-famine conditions ex Ist relative to the coal situation, and in Maine the situation is serious Region Is Crowded For this reason. Smith believes that plans long discussed for establishment of the super-power project on i the east coast will gain impetus This region, the most crowded workshop of the country, includes only 2 per cent of the area of the United States, but contains 22 per cent of the total population. It includes 96.000 manufacturing establishments, 76,000 of which used power tn 1919 to the amount of more than twelve and one-half billion kilowatt hours, according to Dr. Smith. ' FLANNER HOUSE IS HEALTH HELP Social Settlement Is of Much Benefit in Negro District. Better health has been made possible for hundreds of persons in the negro districts through facilities offered by Flanner House, a social settlement located at 302 N. West St., according to the report presented by Charles O. Lee. superintendent, before the annual meeting of the directors today at the T. W. C. A. Infant welfare clinics conducted by the Children's Aid Association at this station had a total attendance of 7.845 babies and children under six years of age. Marked prevalence of tuberculosis among the colored race has been attacked by the city board of health. The Women's Improvement Club, devoted to prevention of tuberculosis among the colored, has also used Flanner House as the center of much of its work during the >e*r. The employment bureau filled 8.734 positions last year, chiefly for domestic I service. Children, whose mothers ' were at work, received 14,600 days’ care in the day nursery. A total attendance of 6.413 children was the record of classes conducted by the Free Kindergarten Association. Personal service to 136 families, by the visitation department, helped them to improve their standards of living. In the make-over shop 1,300 discarded garments were mended and either sold at a low figure or given outright to needy families known to the organization. Flanner House is a member of the Community Chest. UNLIKE ENOCH ARDEN William Hughes Kills Brother. Mho Had Married Former Wife. PORTLAND.

Concerning "What No Man Knows” In this day, when divorce is so common, it is unusual to see a woman who will put aside the man she loves just because he is married, especially when she knows that his marriage has been a failure. That is the sort of role Clara Kimball Young plays in "What No Man Knows” at the Apollo this week. Miss Young is cast as a New York newspaper woman who finds time to raise funds to obtain milk for the poor children of the East side. While investigating conditions at a notorious case she meetß a childhood sweetheart who is drunk and in a de spondent condition. Learning that the place is to be raided, she gets him out, with the aid of her police badge and takes him in a taxicab to her apart-

An Old Saying: “It Takes Money to Make Money” . There is no question about this, and it is also true that money at 6% doubles itself in 12 years. If you can save $5,000 by the time you are 35. and allow this to work undisturbed, for you, at 47 you will have $10,000; at 59, $20,000, thus assuring your financial independence, even if you do not save another cent. This Is the Point The saving you de while you are young has a longer time to work for you than your savings Later in life. We suggest you plan accordingly.

FOND REFUSES TO DISCLOSE IDEAS : ON PRESIDENCY ‘I Won't Tell You/ Says Manufacturer Asked If He Would Accept Nomination. By United Brest NEW YORK, Aug. 2L—'T won't tell you.” This was the answer of Henry Ford, Detroit automobile manufacturer, to the question, “Would you accept the i.omlnatlon for President?” The question was asked by Charles W. Wood, who has an interview with Ford in this week's issue of Collier’s Weekly. “It doesn’t seem to mean anything to me,” Ford added. “What, the Presidency?” “No, the question.” “You may quote me as saying,” Ford went on, “that I never ran for anything yet—or from anything." The interviewer explained he didn’t believe Ford was dodging. “Henry Ford doesn't have to dodge political questions any more than a ghost has to dodge an automobile," he writes. “They simply don't hit him. Henry Ford and John J. Politics inhabit two distinct planes of existence.” Would Abolish Poverty Here are some of Ford'* aspirations: “I want to abolish .poverty from America I want make wager higher. I want to make a good home possible for every child. No. it isn’t unselfish on my part. Low wages are silly. You can't get rich by making other people poor—they can't buy our goods then, and there you are. The only way to get rich is my making people rich. Wealth wouldn't be such a curse if everybody helped carry It.” Ford spoke of things - coming to pass according to the "big plan,” and said we are in the “new era” now. "The old laws, the old rules, don't bold any longer,” he said. “From now on things will happen in accord ance with the design of the new era. The only thing for anybody to do is to get in harmony with that design. "T expect to see a lot of trouble yet, probably another war, before the new order is thoroughly established But
