The rapid expansion in the industry raises some question as to the corresponding growth in the power-consuming industries, and as to the maintenance of a careful balance between production and consumption. In the past, construction of power plants has been 1 imunck kitkkt followed by rapid expansion in power-using industries. Power development to date has been so uniformly successful I that there is some tendency to believe that an unlimited number of , consumers will appear as soon as new installations are completed.! At the moment, facilities are well ahead of consumption, and, though there is no real danger of over production, it is important that heavy Investments shall be made in power-consuming industries before ANNUAL REPORT !

PROTECT CHILDREN FROM ART STUDIES. The San Diego men who wrote and published a filthy article concerning the Aimee McPherson affair have been tried and found guilty of sending obscene matter through the mail. Indictments against others who published the smut have been voted by grand juries. Tliat's good. But how about the stream of poison filth constantly flowing into every cjly and; hamlet In the guise of the so-called "art" magazine;? During th last twp years more than fifty of these publications have appeared' on the news-stands, all of them dependlrig for their sale on 'the photographs 'of nude women1 under the thin disguise of "art studies." Mature persons merely shrug their shoulders when they see the stuff, but adolescents, boys and , girls from the age of 14 to 20, buy millions of copies every month. Physicians know the effect of these erotic photographs on the adolescent mind; educators are familiar with the disastrous results. What are the Parent-Teachers associations, the W.C.T.U., the Women's clubs doing to combat this slimy evil? If these women's organizations cannot or will not protect the adolescents of the nation against the "art" .and "confession" filth, it is time that the Rotarlans, Kiwanis and similar men's clubs should show them how to do it.
