 ALABAMA PROJECT
Entire Muscle Shoals and Will son Dam Work May Be Left In Present Unfinished

 500 Davidson Building

Washington, December 17.-(SpeciaL)- The greatest project ever conceived in America for the benefit of the agricul- tural classes of the country now more tt an half completed is in danger of aban- donment and permahent loss
 ,. At Muscle Shoals, in the Tennessee liver, the government during the war tiDdertook to construct plants for the fil- Euation of atmospheric nitrogen to form !, the basis of explosives. and thus make this country independent, in the event of another-war, of the Chilean nitrate beds It was a part of the general scheme to construct a dam across the shoals cap able of generating more water power than can be generated at any other point wholly within the United States. That which put the necessary legislation through Congress was the knowledge that in time of peace these plants would be capable of producing the highest grade of fertilizer which could be obtained by farmers at most reasonable charges.
 The plants are constructed. The dam is nearing completion. The cost has ap- proximated S1oo,00o00O. And now the re- publcans would abandon the project be- cause it's completion will entail additional expenditure of money.

 HEALTH
Pepto-Mangan Recommended by Physicians as Red
 Blood Maker

How would your blood stand a test today? If you feel run down, look pale, lack enthusiasm, your blood would show too few red corpuscles. Your blood would be weak. If you will take Pepto-Mangan every day for a few weeks the red corpuscles in your blood will increase in number and then you will look better. Your complexion will be better. Your natural good color will come back. You will feel so much bet ter and stronger. Disease germs will be fought off.
 | It pays to keep your blood in good Shape. o-Mangan-that wonderful Eolood tonic-will help you do it.
 Pepto- Mangan is widely and heartily endorsed by physicians. It is effective and easy to take. You can buy it in either liquid or tablet form. The me- dicinal properties are the same.
 Sold at any drug store. But be sure you get the genuine Pepto- Mangan- "Gude's." Ask for it by the name and be sure the full name-"Gude's Pepto- Mangan"- is on the package.-Adv.

to complete the dam. The department of agriculture has asked for authority to operate the nitrate plants The Secre- tary of War has asked for the enact ment of legislation forming a corpora ton with the government holding all shares of stock) for the manufacture of fertilizer. Experts have presented fig ures to prove that this corporation after reasonable time would be self-sustain- ing. The farmers of the country. whose assistance secured the original legislation, are up in arms.
 But the republicans are adamant. They have considered closing down the plants permanently. and stopping the work on the dam, their argument being that by protecting the machinery it could be put to work quickly if ever war developed. But to guard and otherwise protect the property would cost S25 GOO per month, or third of a million per annum.
 The republicans, it is indicated. would lease the property to private enterprise, or dispose of it permanently. This plan is keenly resented by the farmers and he consumers generally because of the knowledge that any saving in the produc- tion of fertilizer would benefit the pri- vate corporation rather than the farmers: and electric current would scarcely be scld cheaper than current is sold in the
 
 is computed that the Wilson dam could be made to produce enough current to light the entire south.
 TRUSTS ARE ALERT
 Big business has constantly been at the throat of Muscle Shoals. It has been charged repeatedly on the floors of the houses of Congress that the gunpow6er trust, the fertilizer trust, the water power trust and others of the predatory class have ever been on the alert to prevent the development.
 On the other hand, majority in preced- ing Congresses. the democratic admins tration, and the farmers of the United States, from whatever section they come have fought for the stupendous develop ment. The battle is still in progress. De spite the power of the trusts, the farm CTS, it is possible. will be able to bring sufficient strength to bear to save the day
 Scientists have declared that if the plants on the Tennessee river are op- erated in good faith. enoungh high-grade, food-producing fertilizer can be retailed to the southern farmer to make him in- dependent of the world and his country as rich as the basin of the Nile.

WILL GO SLOW ON
 IMMIGRATION BILL

Washington, December 17.-(Special.) )-lt is astounding development that whereas a few short days ago Congress displayed an unrestrainable enthusiasm in protecting this country against the inundating tide of alien immigration, Con- gress today is so indifferent that it will not hastily complete legislation already under way of passage.
 The House bill, cutting off immigration for period of one year. has reached the Senate. In the beginning it was indicated that the Senate would immediately act Now 1t is solemnly announced that the committee before which the House bill bends will proceed leisurey. Ii is inti- mated that the measure will be amended in many respects, and, in fact, made less forceful.
 The sense of the House was that inlmi- grafton should be checked. The bill as originally drawn denied the shores of the United States to immigration for two years. Representative Mann of Illinois, former leader of the republican column in the House, amended the bill by sub stituting lone" for two" This was the first indication that word had come down from those in high authority to go slowly"
 RACIAL GROUPS ACTIVE
 Nothing is said as to what produced the change of heart on the part of the republican majority. It is known, of course, that the racial groups in the United States-the Germans, the Irish, the Italians-supported Senator Harding and contributed in great measure to his election It is also known tsat Samuel Gompers and other leaders of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, ardent in their support of anti-immigration legisla- tion, opposed Senator Harding. What influence has been brought to bear by the politicians of the country, or political groups, is unknown. But Congress, it is certain, has observed some mystic handwriting on the wall In the Senate are certain democra ts, among them Senator Harris of Georgia, who thinks the House bill too mild. These men would deny the United States to undesirable visitors for five years. But they are in minority. And furthermore they have nothing to do with the ma- chinery of legislation.
