"The old men shall see visions and the
young men shall dream dreams.”

As one of the old men I see visions,
visions of a greater and more wonder-
ful world than I have been privileged
to behold, although my span of life has
already covered the period of the
greatest development, along all lines,
which history records. *
I shall
go down from this spot with a deeper
appreciation of human brotherhood,
and the feeling that I can count as not
the least among my friends those whom
it has been my lot to serve in the years
which are so rapidly receding.

-John F. Stevens at the unveiling of
his monument erected by the Great
Northern Railway at Marias Pass.

Whether electric
power is generated
from water, coal or
oil, there is automatic
equipment that will
do everything but
think. General Elec-
tric Company has led
in the development of
this equipment and
the experience of its
engineers is at the
service of everybody
who wants to develop
electric power.

Each Saturday afternoon, the
demand for electric current
diminishes. Immediately
this plant, at the head of the
stream, shuts down, and a
storage reservoir begins to
fill with water. On Monday
morning, the plant starts
itself and sends water down
to all the others.

No human touch. Just G-E
automatic control.

WARTIME MOTION PICTURES OF THE AIR SERVICE

his Staff.
