the culture of Speaker Frederick H.
Gillett, Washington.
When Mr.. Root was secretary of
war and Mr.. Gillett representative
from Massachusetts, Gillett one day
went to the war department on mat
ter in which his district was directly
interested. He stated his case and
found no warm response. But he re-
sorted to none of the tricks of the po-
liticians in forcing through de-
mands for patronage.
1t is interesting" said Mr.. Root, "to
see in Mr.. Gillett the necessity of po-
litics struggling with the intsincts of
a gentleman"

 That seemed the very point on which hinged their hope of happi- ness, to my way of thinking,

 People said our romance would not last five years; that Geraldine and l would be unhappy and quit as so many others had done; but I said it was absurd, because the one thing that would hold us together when all else failedfi was our mutual love for the artistic; our mutual love of our work which would cement our hap piness.'

Rx Associated Press

Washington, August 16.-Notice that he would meet Henry Ford's of fer for the purchase and operation of all establishments in connection with the Muscle Shoals nitrate plants and dams was received today by Sec retary Weeks in a telegram from a Birmingham resident, whose name the secretary declined to make pub lie.
 Tho message said details of the new offer would be sent by mail, and these were awaited by the secre- tary. It added that the bidder did not desire any publicity given him in connection with the offer.
 Secretary Weeks said he and Com merce Secretary Hoover conferred for several hours over the Ford pro posal without reaching a final de- cision. He explained that it was diff fcult for two laymen to act on a matter involving millions of dollars, and several experts had been em- ployed to study the details and tech nical phases of the bid. Until the experts report, the secretary said, no final decision would be made, adding that it would take some time for them to report.
 The Birmingham message said the plant and dam would be operated on a fifty-fif profit-sharing basis, in- stead of the yearly payment stipu- lated by MT. Ford.
 guarantee to pay for all water power used by us" and Ito sell sur plus power to other interstate plants at reasonable prices" was contained in the notice.
 Reference to use of water power was construed as indicating that the offer came from company already organized, and using such power as the dams at Muscle Shoals would de- velop.
 The bidder added that his undi- vfdedN profits accruing from opera tion of the project would net the government several million dollars annually, and would have the ap- proval of all farming interests.
 The message said:
 "wil meet Fords offer for pur- chase and operation of all plants, and will operate hydro electric plants when completed on fiftyfifty profit sharing basis, instead of stipulated yearly payments. Will charge off per cent interest on investment ana all operating expenses of locks, etc., before dividing profits. Will guar antee to pay reasonable amount for all power consumed by present and future industrial plants owned by us and sell surplus power to other interests at reasonable price. This would net government profits of sew eraI millions yearly and have ap- proval of all farming interests. Please wire acknowledgement re- ceipt of proposal. Am mailing further particulars"
 The telegram from Washington last night stating that Birming- ham man had made an offer for the use of Muscle Shoals provoked spec ulation in financial and industrial circles of Birmingham. but none Of several of the most prominent busi- ness men and financiers of the city seemed to have any idea who had made the offer.
 w. N. Walmsley general manager Of the Alabama Power company, said; We know nothing about it"
 This is reiteration of the statement made several times by Thomas w. Martin, president of Alabama Power. to the effect that his company was not a bidder.
