Begin Consideration
Ford Offer to Buy
Muscle Shoals Plant

Washington. Feb. 8-The opening
session of the house military con-
mittce's investigation of the Ford
contract offer for purchase and lease
of the governments properties q
Muscle Shoals. Ala, revolved TODAY
principally about the clauses relat.
ing to manufacture Of fertilizers for
the nations agricultural needs. Sec.
rotary Weeks, appearing as the frs;
witness, repeatedly declared his doubt
as to whether fertilizers could be
manufactured chenply at Muscle
Shoals and expressed his belief that
amendments to safeguard better The
governments interests in the SlOs'
100000 investment already made
should be incorporated in the ofse'
as it was drafted.
Another suggestion involving
change in the present language o.
the offer. the secretary pointed out
would require n fixed capitalization
for the operating company Mr.. Ford
is to create. A provision OF some
sort was advisable. he said. which
would permit the government to In
pose the legal means a penalty Or
forfeit should the company fall 70
carry out the terms OF the offer.
Anything might happen in the
next 100 years" he said. while J
have not the slightest doubt as to the
solvency of Mr.. Ford. nor OF his IN.
tentions to execute the agreement IN
good faith. neither he nor I will b
here during the life of the contract
In considering this question we ore
providing for the future generations.
Regarding the manufacture OF fer
tilizers and their cheap delivery to
the farmers Of the country. Mr.
Weeks said there was no reasonable
certainty in his mind that that was
possible.
Asked what the annual consump-
ton of fertilizers was, the secretary
sal dit Appropriated 7s.0oo00o tons
and the Muscle Shoals plants could
only produce at q maximum 2eO.oVe
tons.
The war secretary previously had
told the committee that Mr.. Ford
had declined to guarantee fertilizer
production over u given number o.
years and had Informed him in con
versations that he would not manu-
facture the commodity at q loss.
Although pressed repeatedly BY
several committee members the sec
rotary did not express an opinion o.
to whether the offer should he ae-
copied or rejected by congress. Al
one point he was asked whether the
properties should be salvased or Mr.
Ford's offer accepted, but he replied
only that the government would not
salvage the project In any event and
repeated his intention 10 comple's
the Wilson dam II the offer was n
jected
Chairman Kahn announced that h.
had telegraphed Mr.. Ford twice re-
cuesting him to come personally be
fore the committee or send represen-
tatives to answer questions for hin
Some concern was evident on th'
part OF the committee members IS
to whether the offer would be with
drawn from their body and re
referred by the house TO tho agricul-
tural committee. An open fight on
the floor was expected either tomor-
row or Friday. it was said. Mean
while. the military committee mer
prepared to defend Their jurisdiction
in the case.

as matter of fact he started at the
very bottom and more than once sang
two operas in a day for the magnifi-
cent sum of 25 lire a performance. or
little less than SIPS.
Chamlee made up his mind to be a
great singer and he has done pretty
nearly everything a singer can do to
get enough money to pay for his les
sons. He began singing in amusement
parks long before he was out of his
teens; this brought a few lessons.
Then he went into cheap vaudeville,
and later he got time on one of the
big western circuits. and that brought
more lessons. Then he went out with
an itinerant opera company. which
gave him lot of operate routine.
At last he came to New York, where
Hugo Riesenfield gave him a weeks
trial at the big Rialto picture theater.
That one week ended by being four
teen. He began to take more lessons,
but then we went into the war and
so did Chamlee, who was overseas for
two years before he was discharged.
On his return he was engaged for
the Metropolitan, where he made his
debut in November. 1920, in "Tosca''-
Farrar and Scotti being the other
principals in the cast. Pitts Sanborn
and Max Smith spoke warmly of the
similarity of his voice to that of Ca
russo, and by the end of the season he
was one of the great tenors' of the
foremost opera in the world. And he
son he appeared more times than
any other singer in the history of the
Metropolitan. with the one exception
of Caruso.
Chamlee sings in Topeka on the
evening of October 81.

WHY We SHOULD
Battle INTERNALLY

Physicians agree that most human
ills are caused by accumulated
waste in the lower intestine-Head->
aches, biliousness and that tired
feeling" are but the forerunners of
much more SERIOUS ailments, and
more drugs are used with the mis-
taken idea of Kidding US Of this
waste than for ali other ills COM
bined.
Why not try the unfailing and
perfectly natural method of bathing
internally with the ". B. L. Cas-
cade." and keep the intestine always
clean and free from all poisonous
waste.
Over a million progressive Amer
leans are now using it, have babe
goodbye to that half-sick feeling
and are consistently proof against
many ills, as well as arising every
morning clear-headed and eager for
the duties Of the day.
Ask US for a little book "Why
Man Of Today is Only 500 Bdi-

for their ticket They intended to
put it across. Every editor talked
with an earnestness that carried
weight.
Seth Wells, an adviser and leader in
the Campbell camp for twenty years,
told the editors that loyalty was the
biggest test of a man in politics. He
said he had wiped the slate and TO-
gotten the past and was out to send
Sproul to congress. He p eaAed 1or
a man who would support Republican
principles rather than a man who
would oppose Republican policies in
Washington.
They're Game Fighters.
Fred Brinkerhoff, right from
Campbells home town of Pittsburg,
said the Campbell men had died fight

game fighters, and Brinkerhoff

be used for Sprouts election.
Billy Blair of Oswego vowed that
the Republicans would stay with
Sproul thru the fight. Blair was one
of the men under fire by Sproul in the
out the bad taste which came out OF
the primary fight.
There were others. So far as party
loyalty was concerned it was 100 per
cent. Few such meetings have been
held in Kansas in the last fifteen
years.

and introduced Sproul as the next con-
gresham from the district.
A lot of things may happen in the
Third district in the next three weeks.
But for the present at least there is
clearly a turn to the Republican nonli-
nee. If Sproul wins-and the wise
men of the district believe he is now
getting we'll out of danger-the re-
suit ought to be an object lesson to
candidates who get careless with pre-
primary remarks. Had the men whom
he most bitterly condemned not lined
up behind him. Sproul might as well
dust off the law books in his office in
Sedan and arrange to stay at home a
little longer.
But the party spirit and loyalty
in which Sproul found so much evil
now promises to become his salvation.

One must fight to avoid them
Film is that viscous coat you

Film also holds food substance
