SOUTH ANXIOUS
 ID GREET FORD
Muscle Shoals Is Filled With Excitement and Hope That
 Henry Will Get Project
By HARRY HUNT

SHEFFIELD, Ala, Dec. 17.-"Win Henry get it?''
 That's the question fired by nine out of ten men in northern Alabama and southwestern Tennessee today.
 No one asks Henry who?' or Get what?" There's only one Henry and only one it."
 Henry is Henry Ford Tt" is the Muscle Shoals water power and nitrate development.
 And on the question of whether Henry gets it depends the whole flu. ture industrial development and pros perity of the south, folks hereabouts firmly believe.
 It's not simply the porspect of de- velopment of immense water and electrical power. That's the smallest part of it.
 It's the advent into the south of Henhy Ford, master industrialist, model employer, that has electrified minds and hopes.
 Ford's acquisition of Muscle Shoals, folks here say, will mean new condi- tions of labor, of housing, of pay whole new standard of relation ship between employer and employe below the Mason-Dixon line.
 "Will Henry get it?" asked work. man in grimy overalls outside Nitrate Plant No. 2, surveying the No Help Wanted" sign and the mile of idle buildings.
 "Boy!" When the smoke goes up from those chimneys everybody with in 200 miles is goin' to flock here. If you'd burn tar-bucket. you'd have a mob here In an hour,"

College Courses Offered Jackies
 on Pacific Ships

LOS ANGELES, Dec. IT, Educa- tional work is being organized in the Pacific Fleet which brings to the of ficers and men the full advantages of the extension or correspondence course in the best universities in the country, according to L. R. Alderman senior educational adviser for the navy department and former state su- perintendent of schools in Oregon. Not only are the most valuable points in the best extension courses in the country being made available for the navy men, but conditions for their absorption are far superior than to civilians in the arrangements of the navy department and it's educational advisers in providing for the instruc- tion courses with the practical ground work of application in practice aboard ships.
 Many of the courses are highly ad- vanced and a large numbeA of offic- CTS on the battleships are particpat- ing in them. The latest activity of Adviser Alderman was installation of the courses on the battleship Texas, with Commander Charles R. Clark. navigating officer of the Teras, being dpuOluleu tuuCdllOudl OlllCeT.
 Courses include practical steam en- gineering. and all branches of it in special courses, practical electricity and its branches. nautical astronomy business courses, including short hand, typewriting, bookkeeping, ac- counting, history, civics. mathematics English, drawing. chemistry, pharma cy and physiology
 The arrangement provides that each batteship force is a unit in ed ucational work, with specialists in the course from among the personnel of officers, taking direction of the marking of papers and the carrying ortrugh of the course. The Bureau of Navigation provides for examination of students upon completion of cours- es, and the department issues diplo- mas.
 The government has been given ac- cess to the courses of many private schools and extension of state uniyer sities. and in some instances courses are taken bodily from these sources while in others the navy department has compiled special courses from the choice of material.
 Adviser Alderman has established headquarters at San Diego and keeps in personal touch with the education al officers of each ship.

PRINCE OF WALES EXPECTED TO RECEIVE COLD WELCOME WHEN HE PAYS AN OFFICIAL VISIT TO BURMA

ABINGDON, Dec. IT, The coming visit of the Prince of Wales to Burma has given rise to much speculation as to the nature of his reception. Un. doubted,y he will receive in Burma all the ovations usually accorded a trav. cling prince.
 In Rangoon may be seen many peo- ple with British flags pinned on their breasts. God save the King" is a common expression. The Karens of Burma are especially loyal to British rule.
 On the other hand, the Prince will meet with a large element-no one can say just how large-of aloofness and silent opposition. In Burma the national movement is still strong, and is continually famed into flame by the multitude of nationalist jour nals which are sold on the streets Bernard Houghton, writing in New Burma" expresses what is most like ly to be the attitude assumed by the Burman nationalists toward the visit Of the Prince. In part, he says:
 ''No one in Burma, any more than in India. has any personal animus against the Prince; on this we are all agreed. Were he only a distinguished visitor, as for instance M. Clemen- ceau. there would be no question as to his welcome. But he is more than that. He is definite. integral part of the British system of government. His movements. as prince, are de- cided and regulated by the cabinet. In India, he will be the symbol of the British government as a living entity Now the British government has always stood-and never less than to- day-for the domination of India and Burma by Britain. It enforces by armed men it's will upon them in all big questions of policy and event in the details of administration

No Hearses Yet in Mexico; Streetcars
 Used For Funerals

FL PASO, Tex, Dec. 17.-There are no hearses or funeral processions in Mexico, according to George Howe, formerly of this city, who is here on business. He is in the undertaking business now in Mexico LiEy.
 "The street car company gets all the funeral business" says Howe. "The coffin is placed on the platform of a flat car, in Mexico. and behind the platform is coupled the regular street car and the trailer In which the relatives and friends ride.
 -Four men In uniform called mosos, carry the coffin to the grave where a short service Is held. Serv- ices are very brief, and few people attend the funeral. Only two men in Mexico City do embalming, be- cause the law requires embalmers to be graduates of the National School of Medicine. No fee is set. but the charge of embalming is based on what the family is worth. "The undertakers are real carpen- ters; they only make and handle cof- fins. If cheap coffin is bought. one mosos. carries it through the street on his head to the house of the dead and leaves 1t at the front door. The relatives of the dead dress the body and place 1t in the coffin.
 If an expensive coffin Is purchased two or more mosos carry the coffin, leaving 1t at the house where the | body fs.
 After the body is placed in the coffin. the street car comes to the nearest point to the house. and from there four mosos carry 1t to the car line"
 "The only piece of land in Mexico owned bv the United States govern. ment is the American cemetery GOV ering about 10 acres of lana on the outskirts of Mexico City" said MT. Howe. No American can be arrest ed by the Mexican offiicals while he is in this cemetery" he continued. 'T am here to buy 6 hearse, caskets and other funeral supplies. and we expect shortly to be running a hearse in competition with the street car company"

STATE FAIR DIFFICULTY.
Various Persons Discuss the Failure of
Legislature to Help.

That there was more than a rumor
in connection with the threatened re-
tirement of the state. fair commission
because of the failure of the legisla-
ture to permit expenditure of $4,000
on barns seems evident from the state
ment of james b. Estee of Montpelier,
who was for many years chairman Of
the commission. Mr.. Estee said the
situation was discussed freely at a re-
cent meeting and that three courses
were considered: First, to allow the
fair to dwindle out because of lack Of
barns and equipment; second, to ask
for funds; third, to close up the fair.
Some breeders said last year they
would not come again. Now the mat
ter is up to the executive committee
w. n Cady seemed TO feel the same
as Mr.. Estee about the matter and he
suggested that if mortgage could be
placed as it can in county fair the
situation could be handled. Thomas
Bradlee of the executive committee
was in Montpelier to-day, and he de-
clared the fair must go forward.

GET GENEROUS RESPONSE
FOR Community SERVICE
Committee Hopes Appeal for Funds
Will Draw Many Small
Contributions,

The appeal of the Community Serv-
ice of the District of Columbia for
funds to carry on its work during the
coming summer has already met with
a fairly generous response.
The activities of the Community
Service in providing entertainment
for soldiers and sailors. in promoting
community singing and in fostering
pageantry and drama benefits SO many
different people that it is hoped that
the funds necessary will come through
small contributions from many indi-
viduals rather than large donations
from a few.
The point was made by one of the
members Of the committee at its
meeting Wednesday afternoon that
when only a few interested them
selves in a work of this sort they may
lose interest or move away from
Washington. Whereas if hundreds
contribute the majority are likely to
survive and will come back with con-
tributions another year.
The service house. 918 10th street,
is generously patroniZed, and is used
primarily as soldiers and sailors
club, with rest and lounging rooms.
gymnasium, library, auditorium and
bowling alleys.
Contributions for the work may be
sent to The Evening Star office, and
will be duly acknowledged and turn
ed over to the committee, or checks
may be drawn to the order of the
treasurer, Frank E. Ghiselli, and sent
to headquarters, 918 10th street.
