—Conservation — NATURAL GIFTS CAN SERVE TO HELP BUSINESS Hydro * Electric Projects Would Prove Boon to Indiana Industry. nV WILLIAM F. COLLIN'S Tim** Special Writer fcln a subject so prolific of material as that of conservation there can be ho scarcity of subjects on which to write, but I must confess to you that on this day, the anniversary of this column, your writer pleads ignorance of the subject that most interests you. In the year past I have written at length on conserving the natural resources of our state. Deforestation of our water sheds, drying up our national storage basins by illadvised drainage and cultivating land that never should have been plowed, falls under the natural classification of waste and the articles related to that have found support among a certain number of outdoors men and women who have the future of the state in mind. Most of these readers, I found, have children in their families. Another group : huddered at the truth revealed in the articles on stream pollution and great stride* were made by them last summer in advocating sewage disposal projects for their towns. Again, most of my ccrr . ponoents had children who loved ou'door swimming and the health of communities was uppermost in their minds. Game Saving Approved The subject of game preservation apparently found the greatest number of readers. This is a form of saving that appeals to a vast number of persons throughout the country who find their greatest pleasure in the streams or the field. I am a trifle weak in that respect myslef and find my greatest fun in playing hookey from the office to find solace in the solitude of a distant stream. The articles on bird and animal habits pleased the boys. Their response was instantaneous. I am afraid [ bore them stiff by selecting an ether topic. If you have a personal desire to select topics of discussion for the coining year, address a letter to The 1 inter, and we will collect the data necessary to bring out the facts. Kankakee Project Advances There are a number of important issues developing in Indiana now that will be of paramount importance to conservationists this summer. We are nearer now than ever before to the restoration of the Kankakee marshes. The committee for the Izaak Walton League, headed by Bob Engells, East Chicago, is working for the sixth year on this project with the state department of conservation and the United States Biological Survey to restore at least a part of the cld marsh and that effort completed. they are bound to re-estab-lish a part of the duck flight through this state that is now detoured down the Illinois river since the great marsh was dried up by drainage. There also is the probability that the government will construct one or more flood conservancy dams in this state. It is hoped that they will be used to generate cheap electric power and be used to tie us into the high lines from the south. A 2’*-cent a kilowatt rate in Indiana would revolutionize business for all of us. We would not have to experiment with model cities; our people would prosper with the cities on hand with that rate.

Industrial Growth Forecast It is not often that two birds are killed with one stone, but publicly owned hydro-electric dams will at once solve in large part our flood problems and our rate problems. Th'* influx of new factories would follow as surely as after the discovery of natural gas. but unilike that boon to commerce, hydroelectric power is one commodity that is permanent; unlike a gas well, it can not be exhausted. In fact, with proper reforestation, with restoration of marsh lands on unproductive farm land, with horse sense applied to our future drainage needs, hydro-electric power can be Increased and then made a uniform and permanent addition to our wealth. If the people would control the future of Indiana, they will have to follow the admonition of Daniel Drew, “If a cat would eat fish, she must be willing to wet her feet.” If we want our own timber supply; if we want cheaper electric rates: if we want greater and saner opportunities to enjoy the rest periods brought about by shorter working hours, then we must build dams and get our feet wet in doing so. After that we can enjoy the created waters and forests. If we grew too old in the effort, remember your children. ROTARY CLUB TO MEET Members Will Be Entertained by Locksmith’s Feats. Audlev S. Dunham, locksmith, will entertain members of the Rotary Club at noon Tuesday in the Clavpcol with feats of legerdemain. Also on the program is George W. Campbell. Cincinnati, song leader.

CIVILIZATION NOW IS DISINTEGRATING. SAYS SEMINARY PROFESSOR

H'J I nitrtl Prun CLEVELAND March 3. A gloomy picture for the future had been painted today by Dr. Reinhold Nichbur. professor of ethics at Union Theological seminary, New York, as the ten-day series of rducators' conventions drew toward a close here. Speaking before one of the final sessions. Dr. Nichbur warned that the "institution of democracy can not survive” and that the world is coming to the “end of an era.’ “Civilization now is in a state of disintegration.” Dr. Niehbur said. "The world has built up a civilization in which there are disproportions of pow’er. I see no possibility for any nation to preserve the instruments of democracy completely, because its system of production is incompatible with its system of ownership. Inexorable forces are expressing themselves like the tides of the sea.”

The story was neither intended for publication nor was it permitted to be published so long as any of the children lived. Only a few weeks ago, with the death of the last child, Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, was “The Story of Our Lord” available for the world at large to read. Disposal of the publication rights to it was made for the record price of sls a word. Through the American holders of these rights, this newspaper—at enormous expense—has obtained the privilege of presenting it to you. Publication of this only unprinted work of the master writer is the FIRST, anywhere in the world. “The Life of Our Lord” will appear in fourteen instalments. Begins Monday, March sth, in The Indianapolis Times (A Scripps-Howard Newspaper) ▲ * * i
