anv project OF Mr. FORD however impossible it may
appear to be.
His Muscle Shoals scheme the greatest Of all his
undertakings his project for the financing of 1t
at first were received with derison, by government
officials and financiers The only people who re-
garded it seriously the members of the power
trust who, though they may have doubted the prac-
ticabty of it, saw joke in the mere possibility OF
the success Of plan which threatened the destruc-
tion Of their monopoly.
The indications now are that Mr.. Ford's propo-
sition will be accepted by the in the form
in which it was made. We may then expect that
the government will be shown something it has never
been able to grasp-how preserve and make use
OF the countrys natural for the benefit of
its citizens.
Briefly, Mr., Ford proposes to lease the Muscle
Shoals property for hundred years. but before the
expiration Of half that time according to his expec-
tation, it will be turned back completed project
either to the government to the people under it
in such way that no one win realize a personal
profit Nor can the heirs Of Mr.. Ford realize any
financial benefit from it.
Mr.. Ford has passed the stage when money
making is an object He already has much
money than he can employ in his private enterprises
His railroad is making him more money His numer-
Gus beneficences great they are make but slight
where his thousands and thousands OF employees
ceive the highest wages paid in this country He has
reached limit of the undertakings Of private citi
zens and now he seeks a broader field which only
his government can open to him.
Mr. Fords plan proposes to locate in the south
one of the great Industrial ceners of the country 1t
involves the creation of a city seventyfive miles
long, with rural background carrying out view
long advocated by him that the families OF working
tages of rural life would not be entirely lost to them
The plan of Mr. Ford proposes saving to the
government of $4O00O0O0, that is if in lieu of his
plan the government should continue the develop
ment itself. The government, if it should not do
that would either have lose all that it has already
invested in the work else turn it loose that 1T
might eventually find its place the spoils Of
the power trust.
We by no means endorsing all OF Mr. Fords
views and theories. He has other weaknesses than
those disclosed in the trial of his libel suit against
the Chicago Tribune among them an intolerant
tipathy to the Jewish race We speaking only OF
his vision the amazing breadth of his plans which
are beyond ordinary comprehension. and his genius
for the execution of them.
When man has been given such vision and
power to give reality it has been bestowed
upon Ford the lesser accomplishments of learn
ing seem puerile. Compared with him, the men who
the distances of the stars, who have assm-
ilated the wisdom Of the ages who are evolving
doctrines, seem to to be boys playing marbles

WASHINGTON, D. C.-All the the
latest scientific dope on that most
interesting of all planets, Mars, is
conveniently gathered together in
recent publication on the subject
by Professor William II. Pickering,
who has charge of the Harvard As
Economical staeion in Jamaica, and
who has devoted mucch of his time
to looking at Mars through a tel
escope and speculating about condl-
tions on the sister planet
Like most strictly scientific rev.
elations what Professor Pickering
1as TO say is somewhat disillusion-
ing to the layman. Mars has held
high place in the popular imagina-
tion for a long time. 1t has been
generally assumed that Mars is in
habited by intelligent beings some
thing like men. How these being
differ from us and how they resem-
BILE us. whether we can ever hope
to communicate with them-these
questions fire even the dullest mag
ination. All sorts of fantasies have
been based on imagined visits of
Martians to the world or of inhab-
itants of the world Of Mars.
NnGLlef Mars Is llllldBilGu ny III
telligent beings is a highly debata-
BILE question. as Professor Pickering
shows. but it is extremely probable
that life in some form exists on Mars.
That alone is ei ough TO keep hu-
man curiosity about it at the high
est pitch. Men have been squirting
at Mars for centuries. finding out
more about it as their instruments
improved. There is now an associa-
tion of Martian observers who look at
the planet from all different parts
of the earth and exchange observa-
tions and opinions. Professor Pick
ering himself has worked out in
theory the giant heliograph by means
of which it would be possible to sig
nal the inhabitants Of Mars, provided
they are intelligent beings with as
much power of sight as we have
A Trip TO Mars
The time may yet come when we
will get daily communications from

means of traveing through inter
stellar space with a supply of the
canned oxygen ever be perfected, as
it well might an expedition TO Mars
would doubtless be launched. An
aeroplane travelling at the rate of 100
miles an hour might reach Mars in
about 40 year. provided it set out

A $4,000 fire in Chicago is due TO spontaneous
combustion. Spontaneous combustion is fire that
breaks out by chemical processes, without lighted
match or other flame to start it.
Flour mills occasionally blow up, spontaneous
combustion exploding the flour. Heavy dust on
factory rafers often expIodes starts burning the
same way.
To avoid spontaneous combustion in your home,
keep oily rags and the like in tin can with the lid

submarnessps disarmament conference
Surely the France has spoken.
The France suffered and fought beside;
Not by dream been broken
Not by her is hope dened
This France swollen and vast ambitions,
with proud imperial countenance,
Is but puppet OF politicians
And the living and breathing France!
Surely the France whose glorious spirit
Held her in her darkest hour
Shall speak peace the world shall hear it.
A voice of beauty-a voice of power!
The politicians march forth to battle
Sounding a shrill a wild alarm
And the jingoes with their swords a-ratte
Shrieking Were ruined, should France disarm!'
But the France that ever has had the vision,
The France OF Joan and of Lafayette
VIII come at length to the worlds decision
Despite her statesmen" who fume and fret;
For not by her shall dream be broken
Or wrecked the triumph for which we SEEK
Surely the France has not spoken
We wait in faith till her people speak!
