To prolong life and make it more ' useful is the object of the Life Exten- - sion Unit, a new feature of health ' work that is soon to be inaugurated in Alamance County by the State Board of Health.

The plan of this unit of health work, popularly known as periodic medical fi hno-,n nrrntinn. Tnis was an Increase of 181-2. per cent, in the otal number.. In the fiscal year 1915 he number of new projects which legin operation was 12 Forty-two rr cent, of the total developed wa er poww of the United States util ize National forest land, the Forest Service figures show.

Concerning the? report prepared by the Forest Service in response to a resolution of the Senate calling up on the Secretary of Agriculture for information regarding the ownership nd control of water power sites and any facts bearing on the question as to the existence of a monopoly in he ownership and control of hydro electric power in the United States. Mr. Graves says: "This report pre sented in far greater detail than has vcr been attempted before an ex haustive analysis of the general pow er situation. It showed a marked concentration of definite and com plete control of a large percentage of developed water power by a very le wcompanies. Data presented re garding . interrelationships through common directoi-s and principal Of ficers indicated a marked tendency toward association or community of j. x. interests, particularly Detween iu principal holding companies. ine movement toward concentration in commercial Hnt.ral station.- of all jthe primary power employed in the electrical industries .and m manuiac ures was found in all sections of the United States, the rate of con centration during the . period 1905 1912 being highest in the South At lantic States and the extent of con j centration greatest in the Western 'States. "The rate of increase in water power development for public serv ice use from 1902-1912 was approxi mately three times as great as in steam power. Primary power instal lation from ' all sources and for all uses increased from 1902 to 19i5 more than 2 1-2 times as rapidly in the eleven Western States as in the remainder of the United States, vhile the "increase for primary elec tric power for the same period was 440 per cent, for the Western States as against 226 per cent in the other States. The development per capita cf the Western States in 1912 was 2 1-2 times as great as in other parts of the country. "The report showed a considerable over-development in nearly all the power centers of the Western States California, Oregon and Washington in particular showing installations far in excess of maximum demands." mmm 4v ? i- r x 0 X- In V 'MAY MARSH ' ' the "Birth of "a Nation," Academy of Music Two Days, Starting Christmas Matinee. j . v No doubt you have already " racked your brain trying to answer this question and many you nve.nbt decided just what it will be.
