DUT the stories Of the wOrkingmen who
ID bought houses in this city last spring by
the thousands are also true. The tale Of the
prices paid for those houses being once and
a half greater than their pre- wartime value
and already u third more than their present
value, Is likewise true. They did not want
to invest in houses Of an inflated value. but
It was that or nothing. Houses were not
being rented last spring. They were the
scarcest and most expensive things on the
market the smaller the house the larger the
imitation Of value. But II your landlord re-
fused to rent tho house you had lived in for
years. you were up against l.. There was
no place TO go--but out
And the stories Of the inflated prices for
ehoes and food and carfare were true but
you had to buy food and wear shoes and be
conveyed to work none the less.
And the stories Of the Liberty Bond buying
were also true and the loss of Some of their
negotiable value six months later waa true.
The stories Of the great accumulation in
the banks of savings made BY the people were
true; also the tales Of the banks sudden

were true.
The great sums raised for war sufferers
and for the Red Cross. the great taxes raised

If you suspect you may be suffering from iron starvation. do not wait until you go all to pieces and collapse in state of nervous prostration or until in your weakened condition you contract some serious disease, but consult your family physician and have him take specimen of your blood and make blood count of your red blood corpuscies or test the iron power of your blood yourself by adding plenty of spinach. carrots or other iron-containing vegetables to your Gaily food and take organic iron like Nux- ated Iron with them for awhile and see how much your condition improves.
 Thousands of people have surprisingly durance in two weeks time by this sim pie experiment. But in making this test. be sure the iron you take is organic iron Nuxated Iron-and not metallic or min eral iron, which people usually take. Or Eanic Nuxated Iron is like the iron h lentils and apples, while metallic iron is iron just as 1t comes from the action of strong acids small pieces of iron. Nux- ated Iron represents organic Iron in such a highly concentrated form that dose is estimated to be approximately equiva- lent Gin organic iron contenD to eating half quart of spinach, or one quart of green vegetables. It is like taking extract of beef instead of eating pounds of meat. Beware of su substitutes. Look for the word "Nuxated' on every package and for the letters N. I. on every tablet.

Hotel Man, After Talk With Weeks, Says His Bid Ao-

By Associated Press

Washington, September 10-George R. Benton of Birmingham today con fetred with Secretary Weeks on the question of the1Musole Shoals nitrate and waterpower projects. After the conference, Mir. Benton said he had discussed his offer for private opera .tion of the plant and believed it would be accepted fn the event the offer made by Henry Ford,s was finally rejected by the government. He did not, however, indicate that the Ford offer would be rejected.
 T favor the offer of MT. Ford with some notifications" MT. Benton said. p If that is rejected, believe mine will be accepted"
 The secretary was deeply inter ested and asked many questions about the proposal and the site it. self. Anyhow he added, Muscle Shoals will not lie dormant much longer" e.
 Secretary Weeks declined to make any statement relating to the con ference but said no reply to his in vitation for a conference with MT. Ford had yet been received. It was understood that Mir. Benton also had telegraphed Mir. Ford asking that he meet in conference here with the secretary and himself, but had not received reply from the Detroit manufacturer.
 Mir Benton left Washington imme- diately after the conference for Bir- mingham. It was understood that he would prepare supplemental data re- lating to his offer and to the project

tContinued From Page oneJ of life,- the personnel of which will be announced soon. The object Of the committee, as stated in the an nouncement, will be to aid in ob- taining full expression of the disar- mamentl sentiment of the country and also to offer helpful and con- structive suggestions
 There has been no attempt to get labor organizations in other coun- tries to take similar steps, it was stated, the federation being concerned with development at this time of American opinion on the armament question. Nor has there been any of the demonstration plans with officials of President Harding's administration, the project having been evolved wholly as ansattempt to get concrete expression of Amer ican opinion on which the federation embarked because of it's extensive machinery throughout the country by which virtually every community could be reached and stirred to ac- tion.

CHATTANOOGA CITY. GRACEFULLY TAKES WATER YESTERDAY. '
Fourteenth Vessel Launched By ChickasaW Company, Chattanooga Woman
 Acting Sponsor

Mobile, September Especially. christened by one of Tennessee's beautiful matrons and cheered by the plaudits of the thousands who had assembled for tAe occasion, the Chattanooga City, great steel mon ster of the sea, slipped gracefully into the waters of Chickasabogue at noon Saturday This launching marked the fourteenth vessel to be launched by the Chickasaw ship building company since the establish ment of their plant in 1918.
 Mrs S. H. Cayce of Chattanooga, sponsor, hurled the bottle of charged water against the ships prov with accuracy that sent its broken parts scurrying to the ground and it's con tents splashing over the ship and the launching stand. It was per- feet day and a perfect launching.
 Thirty. minutes after the ship left the docks she was docked at the pier east of the ways, where her ma chinery, engines, boilers and equip ment will be installed. The Chatta- nooga City will make 8 trial trip on September 2S and immediately load steel rails, for China. Mrs. Cayce was accompanied by her hus- band, s. H. Cayce, one of Chatta- nooga's leading business men, and Mrs. Fred B. Frazier and Mrs. Mar tin Fleming, her matrons of honor. Mrs. Frazier's husband is a member of the city commission of Chatta- nooga and mmissioner of educa- tion, and Mrs. Fleming's husband is city judge.
 A number of visitors and officials from. Birmi gham, Tuscaloosa and Gadsden were present at the launch- ing. Following the launching the visitors were guests of the Chicasaw company at a luncheon at the plant and taken for sightseeing trip over the properties of the company. They were also shown Mobile harbor, in- cluding the large number of steam CTS and tankers tied up in Mobile river. ft te

BUSINESS COMING BACK, UNEMPLOYMENT ON WAIVE, NATIONAL SURVEY SHOWS

(Continued From Page One.) The figure is much too high, 1t is thought at the labor depart ment. It contains not only the number, of men idle through no fault of their own, but the num- her of men out on strike-ob- .viously different conditions of unemployment. In one case the unemployment is involuntary, in the other optional.
 The governments census, if t can be avoided, is not going to list . single worker out on strike. Its aim Ia to show only the number of men who were i'm voluntarily idle.
 In making the survey. the de- partment's workers have obtain cd the views of many business men. They have reported that stocks are down to rock bottom. Many firms arc not placing sixe- able orders however, on the ris-- ing market. Manufacturers, an- ticipating good business, are ad- ding to their. forces. mOdera- tely. Six months ago, the mahu- facturer with only . few orders would have closed down. Now. he Is going ahead and sending Aix salesment out, and they are sending back orders.
 The manufacturer of . nation ally known brand of mems hats, for Instance, said today that he had only enough actual orders on hand to keep his plant going until October l.
 sWill you close down thenr he WIS asked.
 ssOh, mo-" he replied. "In fact, we are. taking on . few more men. We have salesmen out and we know the orders are coming along soon. We will accumulate . stock If we have to, but we are going to keep running."
 And that is the new spirit, say reports to Washington. of iu- dustry in the United States to- day. s,t

that Ludendorff at the beginning of October, 1918, approved the immediate signing of the armistice. So the Doorn exile receives enthusiastic tel egrams in which he is hailed as the chosen savior of his country, and Ludendorff Is made leader of the military party.
 To complete this monstrous para dox acts had to follow words, and one act was the assassination of Erz- berger. The purpose of this was to make the people believe that the ge1- erals won the war and the statesmen lost it.
 Therefore we find acclaimed the general who, in a panic, demanded the armistice at any price, and we find murdered the minister who sign ed it.
 Possible Only in Germany
 Nowhere save in Germany could such fantastic perversions of the truth find credit. Millions of Ger mans believe today that Wilhelm was great emperor and that Ludendorff was a great conqueror. Millions of Germans pin their faith to those W uoSt CTlHllIdl IDLY 1eT- many where she is today. Imperial istic militarism, to live and prosper, needs to have this ironical legend believed By the assassination of Erzberger 1t was thought to fortify words by deed.
 Thus, again, the world is confront cd with the disturbing question of Germany's moral evolution. I re- member during the peace conference President Wilson's expressed belilef in Germany's moral conversion. He thought that the revolution which upset the throne had remade the minds and the hearts of the people as well. Happenings since that time, hardly justify his optimism. The very fact that those responsible for Germany's defeat are tolerated as at present is profoundly disconcerting. There is ample evidence that great part of the German people believe that their emperor and their gem erals, if they had not been hampred by civilians, would have entered Paris victoriously in January, 1919. This fact. unbelievable as 1t seems, is none the less true.
 Provoking Reactions
 One must admit that these enormi- tleS are provoking certain reactions in Germany. The socialists organized impressive demonstrations agains. the Erzberger murder. The peoples party, directed by the big industrial unions. expressed its abhorrence of all efforts to change the constitution by violence. The Wirth government adopted rather timid measures to re- strain the pan-German agitation.
 But altogether the military reac- tionaries have the upper hand today as yesterday and in Bavaria the von- kahr government boldly sides with them against the Berlin government.
 This situation will bear close watching for 1t is loaded with inter national perils. If a man who de- clares that despite the wishes of the inhabitants, Alsace Lorraine and Schleswig must again become Ger man reassume direction of Ger many's affairs, clearly peace will sooner or later be redisturbed. There is plain direct connection between the assassination of Eerzberser ana this future apprehension. @N

tContinued From Page One) early date as to the conference pro- gramme.
 To Select Advisors
 While these preliminary discus sions are proceeding, it is considered probable that the membership of the advisory committee will be decided. President Harding is said to feel that the American advisory commit tee should consist of about 12 mem bcrs, and not more than l5 at inc most. Such small committee. it was pointed out today. will necessi- tate careful selection so as to give proper representation to all ths varied groups that would be affect ence.
 The army and navy, it has beer taken for granted. will have the larr- est representation on the advisory oody Because of his progress as chief of staff and because of the ex perience gained as commander of the American forces during the world war, General Pershinx. it is regarded in Washington, most prob ably will be one of the army repre- sentatives on the committee.
 Bliss May Serve
 Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss. who rem resented the United States on the si,- preme council and later was one of the members of the American peace commission at Paris, is another who Is being mentioned here as possible selection as representative of the army. s8as N Those mentioned as probable rep- resentatives of the navy are numer- cus and include Rear Admiral Sims. commander of the American forces In European waters during tho war, and now head of the Naval War col lcge; Admiral Hilary P. Jones. com mander of the Atlantic fleet, and Rear Admirals Henry T. Mayo. Frank F. Fletcher and Charles l. Badger. all former commanders of the Allan tic fleet.
 President Harding has indicated that labor and the nations women also arc to be given representation on the advisory section Foremost among those eligible to act for labor, according to views expressed here. is Samuel 0ompsru. president of the American Federation of Labor. Va rtous other iabor,. leaders have been inaatioHsd fs thtS cexltctlon, how ! ever. Agriculture.
