STAGE BATTLE
ON PROPOSED
DAM PROJECT
House Discusses ApprOpria.
ton For Completion of
Wilson Dam.
LINES SHARPLY DRAWN
Undertaking Bitterly Attacked
and Warmly Defended
by Leaders.
By Associated Press:

by Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-The old
year closed in the house tonight
with a flood of talk on the ups and
downs or Muscle Shoals.
Working through TO the eve of
the new year. discussing $1O,OOO,0OO
appropriation for completion Of the
Wilson dam, part of the govern
ment'S big wartime nitrate project
the house adjourned with lines
sharply drawn for a fresh fight
Monday and a determination on the
part Of republicans opposing further
aid not to yield, even in the face
OF a cry of sectionalism.
All day long the dam project was
bitterly attacked and warmly de-
Tended
IL remained, however. for Chair
man Graham Of the investigating
committee which went over the
ground TO turn loose the guns upon
The little Alabama settlement, into
which he declared, there had been
dumped with reckless regard for the
future enough money TO erect half
OF the public buildings in Washing
ton.
Pleads For Funds
The other side OF the picture was
sented by Rep. Garrett. democrat,
OF Tennessee. himself q member OF
the investigating body. who pleaded
for funds with which to go ahead
with construction OF the dam, named
for the president. and which ne M
sisted would be a vital cog in the
American machinery of war.
The charge by Mr.. Garrett that
the people OF the south could see
in the opposition to the measure no
ground except sectionalism was Wig
Crously denied by Chairman Gra-
ham, who said n dam like that now
being constructed in the Tennessee
river never had been built in the
history OF the world and probably
never would.
From the proposal advanced by
southern representatives, that the
house put into the sundry civil bill
the $1O.0OO,OOO stricken out by the
committee the debate jumped from
the dam itself TO nitrate plants two
miles away. involving the policy OF
the government in selecting Muscle
Shoals as Il site and building there
a project costing upwards of S100,-
coo. 900.

MY YESTERDAYS
A New Years Soliloquy
By Mrs. F. B. Barnes.

My yesterdays-Could forget you quite
With all of good i'll that you contain.
: Unhampered by regrets, Id climb the height
Which. otherwise, / never could attain.
What Joy, with freshened faith uncogged by shame
For past mistakes. false steps and, sin
To tread, Ambitions way-to earn name,
Which, impeded else could never win.
If | could build Of you a darkened tomb
From which, no ghostly messenger could fare,
No bitter, dreary memory of failure
To taunt my soul, till should fear to dare,
How could climb What great risks | would take
By fear unchecked, what goal could not make
Unstunted by the weight of past mistake,
4 think that could grow-that might wake
Oh would build this tomb but that find,
All interviewer in the web of life.
Some golden threads; and they so closely bind
The cheaper ones, that i'll with good is rife
The nosegays of the pattern here contend
And intertwine with every briar and thorn:
Nosegays of Past Success and Love of Friend
Embroider all and help the cloth adorn.
And this enthralls ME still No tomb I'll keep
OF you, my yesterdays; but this day.
A castle shall build with quite deep.
No drawbridge shall there be span the way,
Ger which ghost might creep to drag down.
But from the windows shall build shall shine
The brighter memories to spur me
These brighter memories shall still be mine
Yes | shall keep my yesterdays with all they hold
. But shall Mistress be:
My castle shall have doors as those OF old
But shall keep the key
