 Acceptance of Ford Bid
 Adopted by Housing Vote

 Quickly Given to Congress
 MT. Allen said the Alabama Power company tme and again informed the people 1t was not a bidder for Muscle Shoals and could not use it and that this insistence continued until tho time arrived when MT Ford's bid was scheduled to be sent to Congress fer action. It was then, according to his address, that the Alabama Power company realized that Muscle Shoals could be made an important part of the power system. He said MT. Ford's bid remained with the Secretary Of War for six months but that the bid of the Alabama Pow CT company fell into friendly hands and has been filed with Congress within 4s hours after it was placed with the Secretary of War.
 He charged that the Alabama Power company is owned by subjects of other nations and that MT. Ford Is American to the core. He expressed the opinion that it would not be well for this industry, which could be made of great importance in time of war. to fall into the hands of any but American citizens. He charged that the Alabama Power company is now attempting to get it's hands on he IAA r.( AA nation, that the company has never done anything for the people while MT Ford's interest has been in the development of industry for the peo- pie throughout this country and throughout his career.

Fords representative, but as a citizen who desired to join with other citizens in a movement which he hoped would aid in putting MT. Ford into possession of the de- velopment in order that the people of the nation might be benefited. T am here to advise with you and not to attack anybody" said MT. worthington, and to join with you against those who would attack our opportunity"
 MT. Fords offer is not dead and never will be, and nobody in author | ity ever told Tom Martin so, and MT. | Martin knew it wasn't so when he said it." declared MT. Worthington in commenting on a newspaper clipping which quoted Mir. Martin as saying the people in Washington regarded
 Mir. Ford's offer as dead.
 History of Fight
 He gave the history of the fight for the continuation of the govern | ment appropriations at the close of the war. and mentioned that Senator Underwood succeeded in passing the appropriation bills two times in the Senate. but they failed in the House during the closing days of Congress last March
 It was then Mir. worthinston and others in Washington feared the de- veiopment had been stopped for a long period. but shortly afterward

seoo0o for the use of it's land, that the company hauled materials over bad roads and by barge and boats, that the government purchased d boat from the Alabama Power com pany for $1oo00 and sold it back for $500 and that the government furn- ished all machinery for the plant.
 Almost Criminal Waste
 He said the committee report charged that the Alabama Power company is guilty of almost crim inal waste" in the construction of the plant. Governor O'Neal charged that instead of the government be- ing under a moral obligation to dis pose of the Gorgas plant to the Ala bama Power company, the Alabama Power company is under a moral and legal obligation to tranrfer the prop crty to the government
 Governor ONeal answered the statement that Ford cannot manufac- ture fertilizer by declaring that Thomas A. Edison says he can. "The people would prefer to accept the judgment of Thomas A Edison than the Judgment of John B. Weeks" he continued.
 He insisted that the state has al ready paid the Alabama Power com pany in fall by providing means whereby it acquired various water power sites and gave it the privilege

100 years and the success of the Ala bama Power company would not mean cheaper fertilizer"
 War Activities
 Governor O'NeaI called attention to the activities of the Alabama Power company during the war as shown by the reports of the committee of Congress. While you were going into your pockets in an effort to pay for government bonds the Alabama Power company was filling its poek- cts with spells taken from the fed eral treasury" he declared.
 After the address was concluded addresses in support of the Ford of fer were made by two candidates Tor governor. Judge W. W. Brandon and Col. Bibb Graves, and the two candi- dates for lieutenant governor, Sena- tor Charles S Mcdowell and Senator B. IT. Phillips.

De- clared that the Muscle Shoals should be used for the benefit and the ad- vancement Of the people and not for the benefit of private capital. He declared he is unqualifiedly for Henry Ford and is willing to do everything possible to put the governmentNde- velopment in his hands.
 Critieixcs Power Company He criticised the Alabama Power company and insisted that the state fs greater than any private corpor- ation and that the people will not permit the company to take over the water power.

THE BETTER MAN

You sit in the front seat, beside the driver, dearie." Dolly cooed. Its more comfortable and sheltered there.' She had keen desire for a tete-a-tete with Glyn. behind Cam ille's back.
 However, he frustrated this ma noeuvre. He had no wish for solitude a deux" with the pert Dolly. And he did want Camille to himself
 Dipiomatically, he got things as he wanted them. And they set off through the sunlit streets, with Mrs, Mortimer in front beside the driver, and Camille and himself behind.
 Very soon they left the little town behind them, and were humming along a coast-road with the sea-a dazzling blue-on one side, and pur- pie, heathery slopes on the other.
 Then they began to climb. Up, up. Higher still. The road was cut int5 the mountain-side, in .hairpin curves" and was sandy red In colour.
 "A good thing the roads gritty. for if we skidded. it would be good bye laughed Camille, gazing down, down at the irridescent water far below, and then ahead at the dizzy curves cut into the lovely mountain-side. "Oh! Look at the Easter lilies in big clumps in the ditchl Hundreds of them! And the violetsl And the ferns"
 She was like child in her delight. Glyn watched her with keen enjoy ment A wild-rose color had crept into her softly-rounded cheeks, and her eyes shone like two stars. The hint of tiredness arising from to 3 little sleep had quite vanished.
 They sped around those stsrtlins s curves of the road at an even % miles per hour. The darkey driver knew his business and drove cleveriy. At one bend they met a struggling bullock team. drawing a load of wood, and Camille was greatly intrigued at sight of the six heavy animals all yoked together.
 Then the red road wes cleared again.

If the loan were made after five years the amount could not exceed eighfy per cent of the sum of the adjusted service pay increased by forty per cent plus in terest from the date of issue at the rate of 4A per cent compound an nually.
 Thinks Plan Acceptable
 Representative Longworth express ed the opinion that the suggested plan, if it could be put Into workable form, would meet with the approval of President Harding and also of both the house and senate. He also thought 1t would be acceptable to the service men. This view was shared by several other members of the com mittee who said the program would enable men in immediate need to ob- tain fairly large sum of cash and at the same time retain more lasting benefits perhaps than would have been obtained through an all-cash ad . luSted compensation.
 The agreement among the ways and means committee republicans to undertake the working out of com promise plan was reached after there had been another test of strength on the proposal made by President Hard ing that the cash bonus be financed by means of sales tax. It was learned today that motion to write | such a tax provision into the bill was
 r1Jected late yesterday by a vote Of to 6 with one member absent This left the question of reporting l bill without any means of financing the cash payments. This was vigor- ously opposed by some members and the discussion finally got around to the basis of possible compromise along tho lines now under considera tion by the subcommittee. This basis was suggested after some of the members had communicated with of ficials of the American legioS

The story thus far.
 Camille Westbrook has journeyed from London to South Africa with her little butterfly friend Dolly Mortimer, who has made the trip to join her husband at Johannisburg. Elliot Glyn is in love with Camille, but because of his poverty does not feel justified in binding Camille to an engagement. Camille has in her possession a val uable ring, which she has secured as security for a loan to Reggie van Tuyle. a man -about-town. On ship board, at a fancy dress dance, the ring was snatched from her by mysteri- ous masked man but later she re covered it. She and Glyn are seeing the sights of Cape Town together.
 TODAY'S INSTALLMENT
 Glyn called for Camille and Dolly punctually at half past ten the fol- lowing morning, with chocolate-co col- ored chauffeur at the wheel of the big car he had hired for the occa- sion.
 Dolly was all smiles and coyness. She had enjoyed a small triumph the previous evening, had slept well and felt as fresh as the proverbial two- year-old. Also, her white woody cloak with Lucille on the inside label. was becoming to her, and she knew II.
