William 4 Natural Resources Substituted for Muscular Effort Caused Great Changes. PLANTS MORE EFFICIENT D _Rression Will Continue Due to Power Investment by Farmers, Says Wyer., Probably no engineering e tiom is more before the public tday than that of electric power distri- bution, said Samuel S. Wyr, con- suting engineer of the Fue- Pov - er-transportation Educa tion faun-, dation, of Columbus, 0., speking; yesterday in Natural Science Uudi-! torium on "The Funcameitals Uca Electrical Power Distribution." "In the past 29 years, there has been a physical acceleration in civilization without parallel in his- tory," Wyer said. "In the last three-quarters c a century, we have made more changes than in all preceding time by substituting natural resources for former mus- cular efforts" Only Small Part Used. In spite of its rapid development, he said, electric power is only a small part of the total mechanical 'energy used. Even if all the avail- able water power were harnessed, the- amount of electricity produced Would fall far below the amount now necessary. As an example of the effects of power development, Wyer cited the condition of the farmer today. "The farmer's use of mechanical power has been. greatly increased without a corresponding increase in his in- come," he said. The result is that economic depression will continue, hie remarked. "We shall have more suffering in the next 10 years than in the past 10," he said. Energy comes practically from fuel or from water power, he said, and in the last seven years we have revolutionized power plant design raising the efficiency of fuel plants so that more than 35,000 miners have- been thrown out of employ- ment. . Cost of Generation Small. The cost of generation is a re- latively small part of power money output, he said. About 67 per cent of. the total cost to the consumer is for the local distribution plants in towns and cities. "Water power, in general, re-' quires greater investment t h a n steam power," he said. "Easily three-fourths of the water power projects in the United States have resulted in loss to investors. The increased efficiency of coal steam power makes it cheaper than hyd- ro-electric power." The average domestic consumer uses electric power only a short time during the day, Wyer remark- ed. Twenty-four hour plant opera- tion costs must be taken from one or two hours of use. In a fair dis- tribution system, the short-hour consumer must pay more than the facstory ovher wrho uses power con- tinuously. Rural Consumer Troublesome. "Probably the most troublesome factor in the present power pro- ram is the rural consumer," Wyer said. "Electric power would raise the rural standard of living, but it will always cost more to get electri- cit-y to the rural home than to the urban home." Furthermore, he said, the income of the average farmer does not permit installa- t.ion of the usual labor saving de- vicecs. This raises a definitie social problem: Because of inability of the young- farmer to provide con- veniences, rural marriages will be deferred, the birth iate will be de- creased, and increass in birth rate will appear 'among the lower cages of humanity. Electric power distribution in- duces many such new social prob- lems, he said. The public is contin- ua lly misinformed with regard to 17o 'y e extensions. It is in the in- teetof the public to have reli- ablein ormation. Gllarles P. TMoy7er, '31, wT.ho hasI 0i. coa rtv ncrpsd1'an atics, Is---ugrw t szU Kv~ne ea hrr John 1I a '''n'llarrion."
