"Thcy decided they did not want

Harpcr, and it was considered best
to let civil matters wait over until

WASHINGTON, jar. 8. - J. RI
Howard, president OF the American
Farm bureau Federation was sum-
moned today to appear before the
house war Investigating committee
to explain the charge by him that
the 10,0G0,000 appropriation for de-
vclopment Of the Muscle Shoals ni-
tratc plant was defeated in the house
through influence of large corpora
tons who have selfish interests in
maintaining fertilizer costs.
Debate on the bill proposing a gov
crnment corporation for the opera
ton of The nitrate plant at Muscle
Shoals, Ala, was resumed today in
the senate. Several amendments
which restrict the scope of the pro-
posed corporation and reduce its pow
crs are to be acted upon.
There was o sharp tilt in the sem
ate between Senator Underwood, of
Ala, and Lenr9o., Of Wisconsin. The
latter had said that the Alabama
Power company would be the chief
beneficiary Of the legislation" This
was denied BY Underwood
Senator Underwood later offered
an amendment to the sundry civil bill
nToViGinp an appropriation of $10,-
0D0,G to continue the work OF
building Tic Wilson dam at Muscle
Shoals. The amendment, with the
bill, went 10 the senate COMMITTEES

States, i 6 vessels Of 435,750 tons and
japan 10 vessels of 288,320 tons.

ming and declared he was every bit
as good 2s Frank Bacon. Certainly
one could hardly imagine an improve
ment on Mr. Mobiles portrayal of
the lovablc old liar. The part
might have been written for him
From ali we had heard of "Ligh.-
min most of US had gained the i'm
preston that the qauint old man
dominated the play, and that all the
rest was merely a setting for his
game Of humor But this is far from
the truth. Lightnin' Bill Jones
strolls in and out unobtrusivcly, al
most apo!2getically, occasionally in
dulging in a few remarks. Perhaps
the authors did not realize what a
character they were creating; per
haps old Bill grew into the leading
figure by virtue of his own original
ity and whimsicality. Certainly
they did not sacrifice a well-balanced
and thoroughly engaging comedy to
give him prominence. And he is all
the more delicious because he is rare
We never have quite enough of
him We would have liked more Of
his personal recollections.
We learned that he once droveN
swarm Of bees across the plains
without losing one bee, and that he
wearned Buffalo Bill all he knew
about killing lniuna," and we gained
n flecting glimpse Of his duel with
Sitting Bull. But there must have
bee nevcn more interesting incidents
IN such an adventurous career.
But even without Lie. nin' Bill,
tie comedy would be one of the best
of several seasons The courtroom
scene in Reno has the touch of
W. s. Gilbert; it is thoroughly hu-
morous without being tarcial. The
dialogue is bright and sparkling, but
it never de9cends to buffoonery. The
hotel for divorce, built across the
Ncvada-California line, offers OPP
portunities for world of fun-and
the authors yielded to no tempta-
ton to introduce even a whisper Of
scandal. Score another point for
clean drama. "Lightnin' " hasn't a
line or a situation that you couldn't
discuss at the breakfast table and
it broke all New York records in the
length of its run.
Let it be recorded, also, that the
company surrounding Mr.. Mobiles is
good one, although the cast calls
for many players. | think Stuart
Fox, the youthful "hero" Of the play,
won the most enthusiastic applause,
especially from the feminine contin-
gent, and he deserved applause, even
though he seemed a trifle too ex-
uberant at times. In my opinion,
however. the honors should have
been divided between Frank Thorn
ton, who played q most polished viii
lain, and the actor who did the 'bit'
of the old sot friend Of Lightning
Bill. ! think he is Felix Haney, but
there are many in the cast and thc
printed program gives nothing be-
sides names for identification. Bar
ney Gilmore. who has frequently
nlayed here is excellent as tie Judge
Besides Bacon, the newest divorcee,
IS most delightful, and Nydia West
man, as Millie Buckley, the ingenue,
Is as sweet and charming as ingenucs
are expected to be.

THE WORST is
PROBABLY OVER

1t is all true enough, as Mr..
Hoover declared, "that we have
weathered the danger point of a
great crisis; our financial system
has proven it's strength and for the
first time we have passed safely
through commodity crisis with
out monetary panic" But it is
also true, as he went on to say:
"Part of the bitterness of the
situation arises from the inequali-
ties in the progress of these read
justments in different walks of life
and in different branches of indus
tries. Y u Y There is slow and
only partial realization by some
bankers, directors of public utili-
ties, manufacturers, and distribu-
tors, both employers and employ
ees included, of the fact that we
must approach parity of levels in
profits, prices, and wages in differ
ent industries.
In other words, sooner or later
either priceg of farm products
must increase or prices of other
products must decline. The ad-
justment must come, but mean
while the lack of decent market
ing system has cost farmers billions
of dollars they can never cover.
But the German reparation mat
ter has now been settled, the Bank
of England and our American Fed
eral Reserve Bank lowering their
interest rates; and there are good
prospects at last of a reduction in
the present ruinously high freight
rates. For these three reasons bus
mess is more hopeful than it has
been for months.
The crisis is past. Business is
in the plight of typhoid patient
who has passed his dangerous third
week and should surely get we'll
with proper attention. But even
with new confidence and hope,
time is still required before full re-
covery can be effected.
