THE MUSCLE SHOALS PROJECT

The two Senators from South Caro-
lima, Hon. Ellison D. Smith and Hon.
Nathaniel B. Dial, are entitled to
great credit for the zeal and ability
with which they advocated the great
muscle shoals power proposition. The
bill passed the Senate but At this
writing the other branch of Congress
had not acted upon it.
There was opposition to the meas
ure by some Senators because of it
being located in the South, though, of
course, they disclaimed such motive.
Hon. j. I. Heflin, the new Senator
from Alabama, also gave the measure
the benefit of his signal ability.
In summing up the worth to the
country and to the farmers of this
enterprise Senator Hefin said:
"Mr. President, when it is complet-
ed it will turn out nitrates for the
Government and free it from depen-
dence on foreign country for it's nj
trates. 1t will furnish fertilizers to
farmers, and it will deliver them from
the clutches of the fertilizer plant,
as 1 said before. Not only that, but
the Senator from Utah has shown us
that certain power companies are
waiting to buy power from this very
dam. So it can be made to serve four
purposes-furnish nitrate to the Gov
ernment, furnish fertilizers to the
relieve farmers from the cNorbtant
prices now eNacted by the fertilizer
trust, and make money selling horse
will, when finally completed. serve
the good mentioned and also prove to
be good investment for the Govern
ment."

"TASHINGTON was made of the
w same clay as most Americans
who have won high leadership and,
like them, he cut his teeth on the
crust of poverty. Only four or five
of our presidents came from poorer
homes than our first president and he
had less schooling than four-fifths Of
his successors. He was, in fact, the
only president in the first forty years
who was without college education.
Not starting to school until eight, he
had to leave at fourteen to go to work
Thenceforth until the Revolution the
woods and fields were his only school
room and life his only schoolmaster

man If we start with the mistaken idea
that he was the product Of wealth and
aristocracy. His people really were

In the trade with the mother coun-
try, left his wife and children at his
death five thousand acres of land,
more or less unproductive twenty
two slaves, a slender purse and q lean
larder.
While Mt Mt. Vernon, which his old
est brother, Lawrence, had inherited,
he learned the simple rudiments Of
surveying, and Lord Fairfax, who lived
nearby, employed him to survey
vast estate in the Valley of Virginia.
In his young manhood Washington
found his '"inclinations strongly bent
to arms" To softer arms than those
of Mars the young militarist also was
inclined.
Prying posterity finds him at six
teen pining for mysterious "lowland
beauty" who would not have the pen
niless surveyor. He received also by
his own confession "cruel sentence"
from Miss Betsy" and afterward
was rejected by Miss Phillipse of New
York. At last the oft-disappcipted
wooer came to the White House on
the Pamunkey, and once more he lost
his heart The mistress of the manor,
Mrs. Martha cambridge Custis, was
wise enough to keep it, being a widow

fatherless children, the owner of large

When flying embers from the war

forests Of the New World, Washing
ton was militia major, and he was
dispatched on q mission to the Ohio,
perilous journey of ten weeks
through a wintry desolation. The
next year he went again with band
OF soldiers, for now the Seven Years
war had spread to America. His cam
paign was hardly n glorious failure,
but he reported that he liked to hear
the bullets whistle.

panic-stricken troops on the Mononga-
heia. AT the mead OF his grave In the
wilderness the prayers for the dead
were read by Colonel Washington.
Although Washington had won no
battles he had made a most important
conquest. When the Seven Years war
came he was still an Englishman, and
to him an island three thousand miles
away still was home. In his contact
with British officers he was shocked
to find them aliens to him and his New
World and himself only colonial in
their eyes. With native condescension
they undertook to teach him his place.
but with native independence he OBJ

BY the time the Seven Years war
was over the colonial colonel no longer
was an Englishman. That Illusion was
gone and had left Washington an
