RADICAL REVISION
 OF FORD OFFER IS ID BE NECESSARY
Otherwise, Weeks Indicates He Will Ask for No Money for Further Work on
 Tennessee River
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Heral
 800 Davidson Build

Washington, January s.-(Special0 Announcement of the fact that all offers for Muscle Shoals save that of Henry Ford had been eliminated by the Secretary of War did not mean that the offer of Henry Ford would necessarily be accepted.
 This was significantly indicated at the office of the Secretary today. As a matter of fact 1t is said that the Secretary is not disposed to accept the offer of the Detroit manufacturer unless it Is radically revised,
 In this connection 1t is indicated that the Secretary has reached a de- termination to ask Congress for no money for the further construction of dams in the Tennessee in excess of sum which might properly be charge able to navigation. This attitude would force Ford to amend his orig inal proposition by the insertion of clause in which he would agree to furnish the necessary funds and to repay himself from the profits of completed development
 It is also indicated that the Secre- tary has concluded to retain title to the nitrate plants, although he is said to be willing to lease them for the production of fertilizer. The Secre- tary appears to be skeptical of the claim that at the plants fertilizer in quantity can be produced at such cost as to permit or successful com petition with Chilli and American trusts.
 While the deductions are easily drawn from developments today the Secretary desires that it be made plain that he has not committed him self in advance. But it is positive that Ford's engineers, in conference with the Secretary this week, will be forced to meet the views of the Sec retary. In that event the revised offer will in no cardinal respect re- semble the original

UNABLE TO CREATE DISEASE
Science Has Demonstrated the lmpos-
sibility of the Human Mind Hav-
ing That Power.

ain one sense 1t may be said that
the human race gets the diseases it
deserves but the sins are those Of ig-
norance and neglect of physical laws
rather than against spiritual ordi-
nances," said Sir Richard Gregory in
the course of his address at the re-
cent Edinburgh meeting of the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement
of Science
plague is not now explained by sup
posed iniquities of the Jews or con-
functions of particular planets, but by
the presence of an organism con-
veyed by tieas from rats; malaria and
yellow fever are conquered by de-
stroying the breeding places of
mosquitoes; typhus fever by getting
rid of lice typhoid by cleanliness; tu-
berculosis by improved housing, and
most like diseases by following the
teachings of science concerning them.
Though the mind does undoubtedly
influence the resistance of the body to
invasion by microbes, it cannot create
the scientific organism of any disease,
and the responsibility of showing how
to keep such germs under control and
prevent, therefore, the poverty and
distress due to them is scientific
rather than "a spiritual duty"

ETIQUETTE THAT SEEMS ODD
Table Manners at the Time Of Chau-
Ger Were Of Decidedly PRINT
tive Character.

Table manners at the time of Chau-
Ger were described in lecture by
Kenneth Hare, author and poet. on "A
Holiday in London in the Days OF
Chaucer." Etiquette in those days (the
latter half of the Fourteenth cen
tury) demanded that meat should be
held between two fingers and thumb
of the left hand, and no more, if one
was to be received in polite society.
After soup, pike roasted in claret and
favored with strange and varied spices
was eaten. Then followed partridge
roasted with saffron, cloves and gin
ger, and jam tarts and jelly.
1t was the custom to change the
cloth with the courses, and one read
of one feast in which each new cloth
was scented with perfume appropri-
nte to the dish. In Chaucer's day the
bath in construction was not unlike a
miniature pulpit, and a bouquet of
sweet scented herbs was hung over it
for the stream to draw out their re.
freshing qualities.

The Man in the Moon.

Observations made from August,
1920, to February, 1921, by Prof. Will
liam Henry Pickering Of Harvard, who
is one of the worlds leading astron-
omers and an authority on lunar and
Marian phenomena, tend, he asserts,
to prove beyond doubt that life exists
ON the surface Of the moon. The
professor bases his assertions on Il
series of telescope photographs Of a
crater with circumference of 81
miles. Hundreds of Photographic re-
productions have, it it stated, proved
irrefutably the springing up at dawn,
with an unbelievable rapidity, of vast
fields of foliage, which come into full
blossom just as rapidly, and which
disappear in a maximum period of II
days. The plates also show that great
billiards., snowstorms and volcanic
eruptionS are frequent. "We tind,'
says the professor, "a living world at
our very doors where life in some re-
spects resembles that of Mars-a
world which the Astronomical profess
sion has in past years utterly neglected
and ignored"

Learned to Love Japanese.

Major General William Verbeck,
former adjutant general, who is pres
ident of ST. Johns school at Manlius,
N. Y, lays claim to being the first
white boy of American parentage to
be born in Japan. His father was a
missionary who was attached to the
Tokugawa government as an educa-
tor and later helped to establish the
Japanese Imperial university. Young
Verbeek's playmate and friend was a
japanese boy whom his father helped
to bring back from California when he
was detained and stranded while in
quest of an American education. The
boys name was Korekiyo Takahashi.

If Boston is going to sustain it's rep
