Washington, March 9—Because of Canadian governmental policy against exporting power it is probable that the St. Lawrence River project and the Carillon project, an undertaking larger than Muscle Shoals and requiring the exporting power, will be checked indiscriminately, according information reaching the United States Department of Commerce.
Canadian Help Needed in Water Power Project
With the completion of these plans, power have been furnished the manufacturing districts in New England at a figure below the present cost. Only one third of the expense of the St. Lawrence plan could be borne by the United States, however, because most of the mileage of the proposed development are a part of the international boundary line.
Closely allied to, and almost a part of, the ST. Lawrence scheme is the Carillon project. A huge power plant would be built at the small town of New York from this plant could supply not only prospective Canadian needs but most of the eastern United States as well. The Ottawa river flows between the two provinces, the premiers of these two provinces are bitterly opposed to the plan. Since the money for the initial payments on the work has been raised by a fund that is probable that the Dominion government will make the final decision,

Professor Finds Way to Make Cats Angry
Cambridge, Mass., March "N-
What makes the wild eat wild? What
happens in the phylogeny of any of
on when we get angry?"
These are questions which Prof. W. B. Cannon of Harvard University and his collaborators in physiological research are answering. They have discovered a way to operate on the trimmings of animals that will make them permanently angry and at the same time remove all sense of pain. Cats so treated show many signs of anxiety, including their hair stands on end, their claws are drawn out, and it crazes and ants. Swat pouts out over the paws, there
Cats so treated show many signs of emotional excitement. The cat's hair stands on end, its claws are drawn out, and it itches and soils. Sweat pours over the mans, there are cuts in his arm, his rate, and the blood pressure is high.
These symptoms, however, are only incidental to the main purpose of the research, which is to discover what changes in the chemistry of blood cause pony pancy the emotions of anger and fear. The two most notable changes are greatly increased secretion of the adrenals, which are ductless glands that move into the kidneys, and a fire-fold membrane concentration of sugar in the blood.

Jayhawkers Meet Washington Team in Final Contest
Pikers Now in Third Place on Account of Losses to Huskers and K. Aggies
The Jayhawker basketball team goes into the final game of the season tonight when it meets the Washington University five from St. Louis. Although the Mt. Greed crew is care of the valley championship, a hard fist and brawned and the Kansas are determined to turn in a win in this last game.
When the Jayhawks met the Washington team previously this year, they played before a crowd of 8000 in the St. Louis Coliseum. Kansas came out victorious, 22 to 14, and tied at night and is doubt the beginning.
Although the Pikers are now only striving to hold third place in the valley race, they will be trying hard to get revenge for the drubbing gavets given by the Aggeras last week. The Washington team has had a rather disastrous downfall, dropping from second to third place in the last week. If the Jawkewhens win tonight, the Aggeras will tie a tie with the Pikers for third place.
In both offense and defense, the Kansas team is apparently stronger than Washington. The Jaywalkers have pitied up 428 points this season, while Washington has totaled but 416 against the same opponents in the 15 games each has played. The team for each game however, is less than a point different, the Malkin making 28.4 and Washington 27.7 ter game.
On the defense, Kansas outranks
much more than on the

times, or
u/ 22. points.
Of the 45 games which have been played on the two schools, the University of Kansas has emerged victorious 36 times. Four times the margins of victory have been by a single point.
