night the 9Th and 9Th Marines, with
the gallant aid Of the End Engineers

of the legislature and that many of those who were looked upon as anti administration men in 1919 have taken the lead in urging the mem bers to conflne themselves to the most important subjects of legisla- ture during the coming extra ses- sion.
 Many of the anti administration men have signed an agreement proposed by the state highway commission and the Alabama Highway Improvement association not to consider any sub jects of legislation not included in the executive proclamation. Of course, no member Is committed to any specific action or vote on any meas ure and their prerogative of voting for or against any subject of legis- lation included in the call has not been surrendered. Those believing the importance of the bond issue is sui. ficient to cause the law makers to lay aside any personal matters which they believe should have the attention Of the legislature have safe working majority in each branch of the 1egts- lature according to latest information. Two thirds of the members Of the senate are in the agreement, while more than 60 per cent of the mem bers of the house have agreed not to take up any subject not included in the governors call.

SHEFFIELD KENNY INTERESTED IN THE GOSSIP ABOUT FORD
Everyone Realizes Great Advantage of Having Ford Enter the Southern
 Field
By FRANK N LILLIAN

Sheffield, June Especial. )-The visit of Henry Ford. the well known manufacturer and capitalist. to Mus cle Shoals has caused many to wonder if the visit was one of curiosity sight seeing. or does Mr. Ford really have an idea of erecting in the south a great manufacturing enterprise.
 Those best informed as to the re- sources of Muscle Shoals district are committed to the idea that MT. Ford is giving serious consideration to this section and that 1t is within the realms of industrial probabilities that a great tractor and automobile plant will be erected here. It is known that the power al Muscle Shoals has been under consideration by capital ists for some time. and that Mir. Ford is interested In power developments.
 The Musclt Shoals project has been pointed out as the greatest power

and will undoubtedly be sold. The Sheffield Iron corporation. in addi- tion to the blast furnaces in this city own valuable ore mines in the cele- brated brown ore district of Russell vile. Adjacent to this property are deposits of the finest fluxing stone for the manufacture of pig iron: a battery of by-product coke ovens would furnish the necessary coke and give valuable by-products. The iron corporation also owns valuable coal mines in addition to a battery of bee hive coke ovens.
 The necessary raw materials for an auto factory are contiguous to Mus cle Shoals, and just north of Muscle Shoals are the phosphate beds of mid dle Tennessee.
 Everything necessary for a gigantic manufactory is@ at hand. MT. Ford knows this and his visit here has caused the people to again recount the advantages of the district.
 What would become of the nitrate plants. in the event MT. Ford acquires the Muscle Shoals plant, Is asked2 It has been pointed out time and again that the farmers are demanding that the plant be put to work to nanufac- ture a high grade fertilizer during peace times, and that the plants be retained by the government for the manufacture of nitrate for the army in case of war.
 That Mir. Ford has given this ques- ton serious consideration is not doubted, and that in the event that he should acquire the nitrate plants that the farmers will secure the needed fertilizers al greatly reduced pr,ce.

such years, but the boards of revenue may order special registration dur ing July of any odd numbered year, the only restriction being that the books can remain open only 10 days during the odd years.
 Since the women's voting organiza ton has been perfected greater in terest has been shown in elections by women even than was shown when the suffrage amendment was ratt- fled last year, and one of the pur- poses of the special registration is to permit women to qualify who did not register last year. A large number of persons have become 21 years old since the registration last year and they, too desire to take part in the voting this year.
 Will Sit at Courthouse
 The registration board will not visit the various precnts during 1921, but will sit at the courthouse in the counties where the boards of revenue have ordered the special registra- tion.
 The Alabama Highway Improve ment association is anxious to have all persons who are qualified to vote to register in order that they may participate in the forthcoming cleo tlon- Local bond elections for roau improvement work in the various counties have convinced the assocla- ton that the people are in favor Of spending public funds for road con- struction, but because of the change in financial conditions of the state and nation it is desired that every thing possible be done to show that the state is s much interestered now as 1t was February 16, 1920, when the state gave an overwhelming majority for the s25,000,0oo bond issue.
 Governor Kilby has not yet indt- cated when he will call the special session of the legislature for the resubmission of the bond issue, but all forces are proceeding in the be- lief that the session will be held the latter part of July pr the early part of August. Governor Kilby has iu- formed no one that he had definitely made up his mind to call the legis- lature, but he has told all callers that he does not intend to let any, thing remain undone which will be for the advancement of the state. The best he has said openly with refer ence to the extra session and the bond issue has been that he does not see how the session can be avoided.

project in America" so often that a. detailed statement of the power possi- bilities would hardly be interesting to the reading public. Suffice it to say that a power project capable of developing primary horse power of 250,0o0 and when the three dams are completed the total horse power will be around 6OO.OO0, that captains of in dustry will not permit this power to go to waste.
 But the visit of MT. Ford is full of significance. With the power of Mus cle Shoals. the cheapest power on earth could be used for manufactur- ing, lighting and heating. Here manufacturing enterprise on gigan- tic scale is possible. Assuming that MT. Ford really contemplates erect ing q great plant for the manufacture of autos and tractors, what are the conditions?
 At Muscle Shoals the dam is more than half completed; the second and third dams are comparatively mex pensiVe. The transportation situation is ideal. The district is served by two great railroad systems, the Sout%ern and the Louisville and Nashville With the completion of the Wilson dam river transportation will be opened to all upper Tennessee points; the lower Tennessee is already navigable. It has been proven by one of the iron manufacturing corporations that iron can be barged down the Tennessee to the Ohio, to the Mississippi and up the Mississippi to the Illinois districts at s1 per ton less freight than by rail. So we have here most attrac- tive transportation situation for man. ufactories that market their product throughout the country.

MONTEVALLO COLLEGE

Montevallo, June 25.--( -(SpeciaL) The modern health crusade, as it is being put on in the public schools of Alabama. was outlined by Miss Fleta McWhorter, representative of the state department of education. Montgomery, to prospective teachers attending summer school at Alabama Technical Institute and College for Women Friday. The state depart ment of education, the state board Of health and the Alabama Anti T.u- bercu1oss society are the organiza- tions cooperating in putting on the health crusade in every part of the state.

 The modern health crusade is pre- sented to the children as game which they play each day. They keep their own record of chores per formed daily, such as washing hands before each meal, and many other, until these become not chores but habits.

 Aside from the immediate benefits to the Muscle Shoals district, the com ing of Ford to the south would mean much It would start other great manufacturers southward. Ford has demonstrated that volume and eff ciency in manufacturing is the pace maker and should the power plant at Muscle Shoals be used for manu- featuring other concerns would be forced to find cheap power and the south would immediately be thor oughly investigated.
