STARTLING STORY
OF WANTON WASTE
AN ORGY OF EXTRAVAGANCE
AND CRAFT AT THE MUSCLE
SHOALS PLANT.

Observation-Disclosures extrav-
agance in the construction of the gov
eminent nitrate plant at Muscle
Shoals, Ala, was charged in report
by Col. Fred H. Wagner, formerly di-
rector of operations at the plant,
filed today with the house war ex-
penditures committee.
OF all evidence presented to the
committee since it's investigation was
begun months ago the Wagner
charge went deeper into detail, fill
ing more than one hundred pages and
touching every possible phase of the
building and operation of the seventy
million-dollar project.
Packed away in the bulky docu-
ment, examined only casually today
by the committee, Colonel Wagner
related what he alleged to be the
story of Muscle Shoals, built on the
cost-plus plan. Big items were put
down with little items, running all
the way from the charge that the
accounting system was so bad no
business, however efficient, ''could
tolerate it and exist" to the tale of
the head barber in company shop
who raked down S. day extra for
changing five times that much money
flowing into a cash register.
| No Patriotism at Muscle Shoals.
With the bold accusation that even
in a national emergency patriotism
at Muscle Shoals was forgotten,
Colonel Wagner told how he had
protested against paying $3.50 for a
portrait of Frank S. Washburn, of
New York, president of the Ameri-
can Cyanamid company, the subsidl-
ary of which the air nitrate corpo-
ration had the government contract
for the actual building.
The biggest chapter was written
under the caption of Extravaganza"
with waste, inefficiency and irregu-
larities placed next in their order in
the wholesale indictment that includ-
ed hundreds of names.
$4,000 a Month for Publicity.
Touching on the broad question OF
extravaganza, Colonel Wagner de-
clared the air nitrate corporation
maintained a publicity bureau at the
plant that cost $4,000 a month. Re
ferring to the portrait incident he
said he had protested against pur'
chase of mass of posters bearing
Washburn's likeness to be nailed
against the sides of the buildings
and trees.

GLASS STATEMENT
THRILLED THE CAPITAL
EUROPE MUST FOLLOW EXAM
PIE OF THIS COUNTRY AND
PAY OWN BILLS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Nothing
that has happened for long time has
been greeted with more general and
enthusiastic approval in the capital
than the ringing statement of Secre-
tary of the Treasury Glass, in a letter
to the chamber of commerce OF the
United States, that the time had
come for Europe to stop borrowing
money and credit from the United
States and get down to the business
of paying its debts.
This statement contained the re-
minder that this country is beng
drained of gold, which is the foun-
dation of its financial structure, by
the fact that it is paying for what
It buvs. while the nations of Europe
are buying everything from us on
credit.
OF course, we have big gold re-
serve on hand now and our financial
structure is solid, but we must as a
matter of elf-preservation remain on
the cold basis and not be dragged off
it bv endless yielding to the requests
of our European friends to lend them
money wherewith to BUY our goods
and even to pay the interest on the
bills they owe us.
That there has been some imitation
in the United States during the war
period no intelligent person would
DENY. nor would such a person deny
that this factor has had its effect on
prices

ST. VALENTINE IS
AID OF LEAP YEAR
GIRLS MAY PROPOSE WITH THE
COMIC CARD THIS MONTH.
PLENTY OF CHANCES.

St. Valentine has an excellent col
laborator this year in his friend and
co-worked, Leap Year, whose effort
can always be seen in the writings
ordinarily credited to Valentine
alone. The saint, who will send his an
nual love notes throughout the
country next Saturday, February
18th, has written even more than his
usual number, and shows spirit that
would do credit to even the most
ardent of lovers.
Leap Year, however, has had a
great influence on the pen of the well
known assistant to Hymen and has
furnished many of the themes of the
poems that appear on the 1920 val
entines. Young ladies, perhaps older
ladies, too, may take advantage OF
the "gentle reminders" that are so
skillfulIy combined with hearts and
verses in the cards now on display.
One small pasteboard figure OF a
woman shows her rolling up hen
sleeves in manner that would lndl-
cate no lack of determination~.while
she says, "The law allows me one man
and I'm gonna get him."
Another little miss is shown bash
fully peering from beneath her broad
hat as she suggests, 81 just want
a chanst to push three meals in front
of you"
If the maiden is really in despair
she may choose the valentine which
shows the typical old maid with cork
screw curls and scrawny figure who
remarks, eff 1 wait for you to ask me
I'll probably come to this.
Of course. there are still hosts OF
valentines that a young man may
send to his lady love, but st. Valen-
tine paid particular attention to the
needs of the girls this year. Valen-
tines are already on display in the
stores and show a variety in design
and originality in verse that is at
tracing the early buyers.

MORE THAN SEVEN MILLION
WORDS HAVE BEEN WASTED
Great Amount of Oratory on Peace
Treaty. Talk Contest Likely
To Be Resumed.

WASHINGTON, D. ca posi-
BILE foundation for another season OF
senate debate on the peace treaty

would be made to resume consldera-
ton of the treaty in open senate.
He spoke for the democratic leader
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who
was absent.
The announcement developed no
debate. A little later, however, the
senate was given concrete remind
