Favors Utilizing Current in River Below the Falls, I Special to The Buffalo TIMES. NORTH TONAWANDA, Dec. 30. While here Thursday evening as the guest of the Board of Trade at a complimentary dinner, United States Senator James W. Wadsworth, had considerable to say about the electric power situation at Niagara Falls and the extra diversion of water from the river for power manufacturing purposes.

His remarks are believed to reflect the sentiment of many members of Congress. Senator Wadsworth expressed himself as in favor of diverting the full limit of water permitted under the treaty with Great Britain or as near that point as would not mar the scenic beauty of the cataract, for power purposes. He went on record as saying that such a power shortage as prevailed along the Niagara frontier recently through the Canadian supply being cut off should never be per mitted to occur again tk- Irt Rinslnr Wadsworth, "was felt by manufac- turers all over the country who de- pend on industries at Niagara Falls for nrodneta which thev manufacture. This was especially true of the automobile factories that use a large amount of abrasives made at the Falls. The fact also that 70 per cent, of the country's chemicals are produced at Niagara Falls made this temporary injury to these factories a serious matter throughout the country and I assure you that a grave situation was created." Senator Wadsworth said he favored i at Niagara iraiia ror power a eve i op- Uent purposes, but that before rH It would be necessary, to have some i rnn7TM prjVate Detectives Must Not I Put On Airs Wlh Regular Policemen One Beaten, Special to The Buffalo TIMES.

Here are a few New Year's resolutions for the eprson who wants to keep well during the coming year: Resolve to: 1 Sleep in a welltventilated room. 2 Avoid overeating and other excesses.

3 Take a daily bath and go to bed early and rise early. 4 Spend a great deal of time out-of-doors and take plenty of exercise. 5 Avoid outbursts of passion, worry over coming events and the saying of unpleasant things. It is not hard to follow any of the foregoing resolutions. Remember that the only night air that is harmful is the kind that is found in a tightly unventilated sleeping room.

There are more persons killed by overeating than die from starvation and lack of proper nourishing food. Late hours and other excesses don't fito ne for the job next day. i A--daily bath Is not hard to get in these days of modern plumbing. Apart from cleanliness, bathing Is one of the necessary observances of a healthful life. A tin wash basin or even a wet towel will help out if nothing else comes handy.

Walking is the simplest, as 'Tell as the best exercise. Rising a half hour earlier each day and spending that half hour in walking will do wonders toward fitting one for the day's work and relieving weariness at the end of the day.

No Action Likely to Be Taken Unless All Nations Join in Taking Such a Step, By CHARLES P. STEWART. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) BlTBNOS AYR.ES, Dec. 30. If the United States makes request Soul American nations would probably join in peace notes to European ligerents.

Just at present there is some objection to unanimous action, but here was ood authority for the declaration today that these objections would be swept aside if the United States should formally request co-operations. Jews that the Scandinavian nations had joined with the United States and Switzerland in peace suggestions increased speculation here today as to any part which South American republics should play. A number of officials privately expressed the opinion that no action should bo taken unless all South American nations were united in one step, and it was pointed out that there were a few such nations inclined to doubt the advisability of such a step. Tt was admitted, however, if- the United States made formal request for united action from South America, undoubtedly these nations would come into line. i 10 FEAROFRWDER Trans-Atlantic Liners Long Overdue at Ney York Mar ine Underwriters!

Special to The Buffalo TIMES. -LOCKPORT, Dec. 30. The Supervisors: balked yesterday afternoon on the desire of the coroners' committee to abolish the office of coroner and substitute a paid medical examiner. The recommendation of the committee was received and filed.

There are four coroners receiving fees and they cost the county $3,000 a It was double that but the committees have been knifing coroners' bills for several years and the expense is cut. It was thought a medical examiner could effect a further saving. Some of the' board thought there was little, chance of getting the total expense to a much lower figure. It was agreed to table the recommendation and send a letter to each coroner informing him that hereafter he is not to act in any case whore mere is no suspicion or crime a.u- vanced. The coroners' committee claims that coroners have been acting every case of natural death and mv yL forming autopsies in cases Where the cause of" death is apparent and no crime is evident.

Theae autopsies cost the county $20 to $S5 each. It has also been the custom of coroners to have family doctors view bodies at an expense of $5 each to the county. The committee has put a stop to this practice. The board also tabled resolution of Supervisor Krueger of Niagara w-cnange jne oasis oi appor- Minn nv rnot fAr rCCA Ta A -fn 11 on me lowna iu ou uh vuo cuuiuj an 50 the townt hupervisors of LOCK jockport.
