HeI says that sonmc three hundred plays have been proposed for production betweent now and next April and that perhaps oneo hundred and fifty of these will reach Manhattan.j No one person has gotten much of a look at this mass; but it will prob- ably produce the usual percentage of show-board comedy. However, at this early moment it is simpler to judge the chances by the plays which prominent players choose to act in. Mrs. Fiske will tour mostly universi- ties with Isben's "Ghosts."

A 70,000 horsepower hydro-electzric unit recently installed at Niagara Falls utilizes the same amount of water as seven former 5,000-horsepower units, yet does the work of fourteen such units. And it saves 700,000 tons of coal yearly for the nation. As more and still more uses are found for electricity, larger and more economical 'generator's are installed. At the power plant, as well as at the consumer's end, important changes and startling developnmts. have steadily reduced the cost of electricity for' light, power, and heat. And wherever electricity has blazed its trail-in towns, cities, industrial centers, and rural communities-comfort and progress have come to stay.
