ENGINEER TO LECTURE ON POWER

Mr. Hugh L. Cooper Will Tell of Handling Men and Projects.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Mr. Hugh L. Cooper will speak before the members of the Union in the Living Room tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock, on "Water Power and Man Power." Mr. Cooper is one of the greatest engineers of America, and is very efficient as an organizer. He has carried through many important projects, including the driving of a tunnel under the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara, which many scientists declared impossible. Mr. Cooper's greatest feat, however, was the construction of the huge water power dam across the Mississippi at Keokuk, Iowa. The dam is made of concrete, and extends nine-tenths of a mile between Iowa and Illinois. The power is generated in thirty special turbines, which generate 200,000 horse-power. These turbines were designed by Mr. Cooper.

Mr. Cooper is as forceful a speaker as he is a worker. He will give his talk at a Boston Chamber of Commerce luncheon tomorrow, and at Technology in the afternoon.
