 Recorded

SUBS|DIzEFOR
 OR DEVELOP FOR
 SERVING PUBLIC?
Walter Hood Presents Ford and Alabama Power Com pany Bids in Such a
 Contrast

"Is it best for the government to subsidize at cost-of over one hum dred millions of dollars the private enterprise of Henry Ford and give him a one hundred per cent monopoly without any restrictions, or is it best for a public utility company to com plete the project at its own expense at saving of some fifty millions of dollars to the tax-paying public: asked Walter Hood in the closing sentences of short talk before the optimist club yesterday in which he compared what Ford and Alabama Power company offers for Muscle Shoals.
 Speaking further of the relation between the power company and the public he said: "The power company would be under the duty to render hydro-electric service, a modern ne- eessity, under the regulations of the constituted public service commission, to the vast regions which should be served by the project"
 AS LO 1dplN6A ht oaios hN company has been criticised because it has English capital invested, but this capital was not sought until after the capitalists of this country had refused to invest their money in the Alabama undertaking. It is a very weak criticism considering that all of our industries invite foreign capital to come to this state and invest in its development"
 Local Claims
 or the companys home status he said: "The Alabama company has spent millions of dollars in this state. Its president is an Alabamian. The majority of its directors are Ala bamians. Its capital is invested in Alabama. It serves directly and indi- rectly 1,5o0 industries in Alabama and these industries give employment to lao, 900 Alabamians. It's product is made in Alabama and it is sold to Ala bamians at prices which are as low and in some eases lower than the prices of other concerns throughout the country"
 status of Buffalo
 MT. Hood called attention to the status of Buffalo, N. Y., although twenty three miles only from Niagara Falls where 100000 horse power are produced, is building S10,00o,oo0 steam plant to supply it's needs when, he declared, ''it could be easily sup piled by Niagara had it not been de- voted to . private industry" He add ed: rThs experience of Buffalo will be the exfnriente of many towns and cities in this region if MT. Ford's proposal is accepted"
 NJ. V. Joseph, of Loyeman, Joseph and Loeb, new member, was intro duced and made a short talk to the club telling of his first visit to Bir- mingham and his final coming here. He said he had believed in Birming- ham from the beginning and it was his special experience that every time Birmingham had an apparent set back, it made a leap forward far and beyond the point where it was when the setback occurred. "Bir- mingham canaot escape some trou- bles," he said, Out 1t recovers more quickly than other places because there is more here on which to build and go forward" Mir. Joseph re- ceived a warm greeting.
 The club decided to employ a paid secretary, its membership having grown to an extent justifying one.
 r. W. Blackford, of the Birming- ham Macaroni company, a new mem- Der was introduced.

REQUIRED AGES TO PETRlFY
Scientific, Explanation Of How For
ests Have Been Converted Through 4
Process Of chaieedony. ~

The trees Of the petrifled forest did
not grow where you see them today.
They were d. several kinds but most Of
them were related to the Norfolk
island pine, now used for indoor deco
ration. Doubtless they grew in q
nearby region and after falling, drifted
down 4 water course and lodged In
some eddyAor 4 sand bank. Later they
were buried by sand and clay, finally
to a depth OF several thousand feet.
The conversion to stone was effected
by gradual replacement of the woody
material by silica In the form called
chalcedony, deposited by underground
water. A small amount Of iron oxides
deposited at the same time has given
the brilliant and beautiful brown, vel
low and red tints which appear in
much of the material. 81" T.
