FORD'S PLAN FOR
MUSCLE SHOALS
BY EDWARD THiERRY.
Copyright 1922

IN CAMP, via Oakland, Md, Aug,
ust What is Henry Ford going
to do with the nitrate plant at Mus
Gle Shoals, Ala, which he has offer
er to purchase FROM the government
for $5,000,000 cash and yearly
rental of $l,680,000 on a 10O-year
lease?
His plans are SO stupendous he
will not now reveal them. Bpt in
an exclusive interview he authoriz-
ed these statements;
A mammoth electrical industry
will be established on the banks Of
the Tennessee river.
Nitrate production will only use
third Of the cheap water power.
One big industry will be the melt
ing of steel railroad cars into an al
loyed matchmaking three cars out
of one!
Ford who is vacationing in camp
with Thomas A. Edison and II. S.
Firestone, chuckled over his own
amazing statement that he would
make three cars grow" where only
one grew" before.
81 cannot discuss plans in detail
while the proposition is still before
congress-" Ford said.
Lighter, Better Cars.
eyes, we plan to make nitrate for
fertilizer But nitrate is only a part
of It. One big reason we made the
proposition to the government and
a reason that might interest the rail
roads-is that we want to manufac-
ure railroad cars that will be lighter
and better.
Light rolling stock is one of the
big needs of American railroads,
And we will make newN and better
cars out of junk!
"We expect to use one-third of
the 10000 horsepower at Muscle
Shoals-cheap horsepower-for elec-
.tr.c furnaces to melt up steel cars.
We will make alloyed metal cars.
Out of every one car that is ready
for the scrap heap we will make
three new cars.
Stretch them--that's the idea.
When the steel is melted down we
will introduce alloys and stretch a

they want police service. The result
is that frequently in the dead of
night the fire call rings, getting every
man out of bed, as No. 63 rings a
large gong in the sleeping quarters.
We keep man on duty all night and
he will answer the police phone the
same as at any other time. So

On account of night sessions in
both houses, Governor Hardwick has
postponed his reception planned for

In discussing the filibuster, which
has cost the state thousands of dol

Jones, of LaGrarge, declared tha.
proponents of the tax equalization
adjustment measure had not 'lived
up to their promises" regarding the
time when a vote would be taken.
con Wednesday, July 20" said the
senator, "the senate adjourned at
o'clock, after an aye and nay vote
had been recorded, but a second be-
fore the result could be announced.
This vote would have tabled the
measure, thereby facilitating the
work of the senate.
But on the next morning, unani-
nous consent was asked to repeal the
previous vote and postpone consid-
Grafton of the bill until Thursday,
July %, fixing it as d special order
for that date. We, generously, did
not object.

REFUSES TOILET
GA. HAVE NEGRO

LNSING, Mich, Aug. Cover
nor Grosbeck last night refused to
permit the extradition to Georgia of
Thomas Ray, negro wanted on the
charge of murder.
The negro is wanted at Irwinton,
Ga, for the murder of V. w Falkner
last spring a year ago. Attorneys for
Ray the governor announced, had
produced evidence indicating that re-
turn of the negro to Georgia might
endanger his life and that he might
not receive d fair trial, while Georgia
authorities, the governor said, had
failed to produce evidence that they
had a case against Ray.
Ray, held in Detroit for several
months, claimed he acted in self de-
fense and that statement was sup
ported by a witness at the hearing
before the governor.
The Georgia authorities deny there
is any danger of mob violence to the
negro.
