YOU AND
MUST BEWARE LEST MUS
Gle SHOALS FALL INTO
WRONG HANDS!

THE government was just about
to junk the great nitrate plant
ot Muscle Shoals, Ala, when Henry
Ford came forward with PROPOSE
tion to take it over on basis that
would save at least part of the huge
Investment for the taxpayers.
Tn to the time Ford made his of
fer it looked very much as though
upwards Of $S5, 100000 which had
been spent on the development
would be total loss.
No other individual or group had
had shown the slightest interest in
the project.
Shortly after Ford made his offer
q mysterious campaign of publicity
and lobbying against its acceptance
was started.
It now develops that the water
mower. munitions and fertilizer in
terests are financing this opposi-
lion campaign. The news from
Washington is that these interests
are prepared to go the limit in their
efforts to prevent the government
and Ford getting together.
What they seem to fear is the ap.
nlication of Ford methods to the de-
yelopment of cheap water-power
munitions and fertilizer.

CARUSO

"Caruso's voice is stilIed by
death"
That could have been said truth
fully-if the singer had died 25
years ago.
But though the marvellous tenor
has been touched by Deaths hand,
his voice will live through the CEN
turies.
And, too, he will walk with gen
efatlons after generations to come.
For Caruso's voice is preserved for
us through the phonograph; his form
Is preserved for us in motion pic
lures.
For which art must thank science.

PROTECTION

Whatever happens to Muscle
Shoals, it must not happen that the
vast public expenditure already made
there be used by unscrupulous inter
ests to stifle competition and perpet-
uate monopoly.
1t looks very much as though this
may be the meaning of the sudden
opposition to the Ford proposal.
There is no reason why Ford
should get Muscle Shoals for penny
less than it is worth.
There is every reason why the wa
ter-power, munitions and fertilizer
monopolies should not get it at any
.price, unless the public is absolutely
ssfeguarded against its misuse.

AWAKENING

Inc rumor that Lenin proposes to
acknowledge Russia's foreign debt
ana begin paying off the interest and
principal in 1925, is one of the most
interesting and significant bits of
news that has come out of Russia
since the beginning of the soviet rule.
ms is one of the several indi-
cations that the soviet rulers are
PPeglnnIng to realize that their only
nope OF ever being admitted to the
society of civilized nations lies in
tncif Willingness to greatly modify
lelr extreme policy in respect of in
Ietnatlonal relations.

CHICAGO, August 5-HAd "Sher-
lock Holmes stepped out of fiction,
he could not have spul Z more ro-
mantle story than that 'ilstaoSed
here in the arrest OF J. w. WrrlhlIig-
ton, head of a dozen financial enter
,nrises.
Worthington is in jail at Wauke-
gan, H., under $4,000 bond, charg-
ed with having acted as fence"
in disposing of bonds and other Sc
curities stolen from banks and mail
cars over the country. Federal of
ficials say they will prove that
Worthington was the brains of a
gang of bank and mail car robbers
operating from coast to coast a
gang having branches in 36 of the
principal cities of the couhtry.
Patrick j. Roche, internal revenue
intelligence agent, is the Sherlock
Holmes of the story. For four
months, in true fiction style, Roche
shadowed the comings and goings of
Worthington, and painstakingly gath
cred the evidence that brought in
dictment of Worthington. Owen T.
Evans, his business associate, and
26 other persons, still unnamed.
"The real story, when it comes
out, will be a surprise" says John
Y Clinnin, assistant federal district
attorney.
The Worthington case, federal of
ficers say, viii clear up at least 2
big mail and bank robberies, involv-
ing more than $5,000,00o in loot.
These includes:

WARNING

Harry Hunt, one of the most re-
liable Washington correspondents
writing for the Times-Recorder,
warns the public to keep its eyes on
Muscle Shoals, as millions of public
money are involved in the battle be-
tween Ford and the opposition.
This newspaper emphasizes the
warning.
1t is not only important from the
public standpoint that the greatest
amount possible be salyaged out of
Muscle Shoals. 1t is even more inn
pcrtant that the wonderful produc-
tive facilities developed there, fall
into hands that will put them to the
best possible public use.
