EXTRACTS ELECTRICA ENERGY room MINERL Denver, Col., Sept 22-A method of extracting an almost unlimited amount of electrical energy from thel earth, and which will practically revolutionize the power problem of the present day, is claimed by F. R. Woodward, a mining engineer. Woodward still ri'tains jealously the secret of his method, but de- clares that he has evolved a way of charging storage 'battries perpetu- ally from electricity known to be present in certain mineral ores. He predicts that in a few years to be practically all lighting, heating, and power distribution for the industries will be made from these perpetually, charged storage batteries. 151En, he said, some twenty-,five c years ago, he accidentally discover- c(l an electrical charge .emanating from some gold and silver ore, he immediately sought to make some use of this, and has been at work ever since. At the present time, al- though he believes his invention might be applied to home use, he admits that it would be impossible to apply it on a large commercial scale. lead t e Official Annoineenienits and Campus Ncws in The Daily. Dayton, O., September 22.-Presi- i.dent Coolidge's Labor Day address from the White House, in which he said that American wage-earners are living better than at any other time in our history, was based on an inten- sive study of actual conditions,ac- cording, to , Frederick B. Patterson, president of the National Cash Regis- ter Company, who recently returned from Washington. "When I was in Washington a few, days ago," he said, "I was amazed at the eagerness the chief executive dis- played to know all about labor and industrial conditions in the middle, west. I was given to understand by those close to the President that no visitor to the White House from any section of the country, who has an important position in industry, art or journalism escapes this desire of the chief magistrate for industrial in- [formation. ; "It is for this reason-that he is so' JAvell informed as to actual conditions. -that President Coolidge is so opti- inistic over labor conditions in this country," cQntinued Mr. Patterson.. "He has amassed a wealth of first- 1hand information. He knows that the ;wheat crop bids fairto bethe best ever grown, and that all the great ,business enterprises of the middle west are breaking records for manu- facture, and are working full time vwith a full quota of meni. "With the Dawes-Young reparations plan actually working and the evacu- ation of the Ruhr started, he is able to forecastha resumption of foreign business which is bound to aid the prosperity of America. He sees, and rightly, prospects of a year of real American prosperity, solid and well- earned." CHAMBER OF COMEC Prof. Ralph W.

CHICGO ISCOVERY MAY RESTORE SOT rTOBLIND ChicagoaSeptember 22-Opera- tions on various kinds of animals wvhich, !medical authorities are in- clined to believe, will eventually lead to the restoration of sight in blind persons, have been recently] performed by Dr. Theodore Kopanyi, a graduate student at the University of Chicago.
