LOUIS MAY, 1923 FAR FOUNDED 1920 The Official Emblem of the Federated American Engineering Societies A CHALLENGE "The problem of universal well-being offers a challenge and a call to duty that the engineer may not refuse. The primary conditions and responsibility for universal well-being now rest upon his shoulders, and the engineer does not like to be concerned with a half-finished 'job.' There is good reason to believe he will do his share of work in attaining the ultimate results desired. Already there are significant signs that he has accepted this duty. "Unless we can in some manner change our industrial system so that we can more nearly attain universal wellbeing and distribute the fruits of our industry more equitably, we have no reason for believing that our civilization shall endure, and its bones will surely strew the shores of time with those of the great civilizations that have preceded us." -DEXTER S.

Every member of the Associated Societies who can possibly get away should take advantage of the opportunity to visit the lead mines of Southeast Missouri on May 19th. There will be much to see of interest to all engineers, whatever their specialties. All of the mines have electric haulage systems and underground repair shops for the rewinding of armatures, etc. There are at least two types of mechanical loaders which have attracted universal attention. The only power plant in the neighborhood of St. Louis using powdered fuel, is located in the district. The "safety first" organization is probably the best in this part of the country. This is the largest leadproducing district in the world. If you have not sent in your reservation, do so at once. CAHOKIA DEVELOPMENT OF THE UNION ELECTRIC LIGHT & POWER COMPANY Chief Engineer of Power Plants, Union Electric Light and Power Co., St. Louis, Mo. Just one year ago, the Union Electric Light & Power Company announced that a new power station was to be built on the east bank of the Mississippi River south of the southern boundary of the city limits of East St. Louis, Illinois. Field work was begun on July 15, 1922, and it is expected that the first unit will be in operation by October 1, 1923. At the present time (March, 1923) the design of the station and actual construction work has developed to a point where it is possible to give in a somewhat definite way the outstanding features of the design and general characteristics of the new station. The necessity for the building of this station was found in the rapidity of the general development of the electrical industry in the community. It is particularly interesting in that it is to incorporate many new features in the operation of central station equipment. It will be recalled that in the development of Ashley Street Sta Entered as second-class matter. February 11, 1916, at the post-office at St. Louis. Mo., under the Act of August 24. 1912.
