We don't know where to begin when it comes to de- scribing these silks But perhaps it is not necessary even to begin, as every woman knows what to expect at Read Silk Sale. And still these are different from anything shown before-the qualities, the rich heavy weaves to say nothing of the colors- wonderful

House Committee
Completes Plan
for Muscle Shoals
Modification of Ford Pro-
posals Basis of Latest Scheme
for Development of Gov
ernment Project.
BY The Associated Press.


Washington, May ia plan for
development Of the governments nj
trate and power projects at Muscle
Shoals, Ala, was virtually COM
pleted yesterday by the house mili-'
tary committee. In many respects
it conforms to that submitted by
Henry Ford, but contains certain
notifications Of the Ford proposals,
which, in the opinion OF some men,
bers, makes the scheme the work of
the committee.
One important alteration of the Ford
offer, it was understood, eliminates
the steam power plant at Gorgas,
Ala, from the group. Another COM
mittee amendment would compel the
purchaser or lessee to manufacture
fertilizers and sell them to the public
throughout. the period Of the con-
tract, whether for 50 or 100 years.
The minimum production would be
calculated on 10000 tons of ammon-
ium nitrates only, estimated to be
equivalent to 100000 tons of fin
ished fertilizers annually.
Chairman Kahn called representa-
tives of the bidders into conference
late yesterday, advised them of the
committees plan and requested that
they. inform the committee as quick
ly as possible whether the details
were acceptable to their principals.
Those invited by Mr.. Kahn in
cluded W. B. Mayo and ]. w. Worth
ington, spokesmen for Henry Ford;
Thomas w. Martin, president of the
Alabama Power company; Frederick
E. Engstrum and Marion Butler,
who representa- the plans Engstrum

Pioneer Plattsmouth
Turn-Verein Resigns

Plattsmouth, Neb., May 27.-(Spe-
cial) - The Plattsmouth Turn
Verein, organized here in 1887 by
prominent residents of German de-
scent, primarily for continuation of
their athletic training as carried on at
that time by the national turn-verein
in Germany. has been disbanded, the
hall here being sold, while all athletic
equipment has been donated to the
public schools and the wall cases and
other material given to the local post
Of the American Legion. When the
Turner's were first organized there
existed here Leiderkrantz or sing
ing society. also Of German descent,
and these two were merged. Some
expert physical culturists have grad
uated from the old Turner hall,
among them being Otto A. Wurl,
who has been physical director in a
number of the large schools Of the
country, and is at present employed
in that capacity at Council Bluffs.
A decade ago the Plattsmouth turn
crs were known all over the state for
the skill and prowess and gave many

Italian Ambassador Says
Middle West Is Wonderful
Central States Offer Golden Opportunity to Any
Man, Diplomat Declares, After Trip From Pacific
Coast-Thinks People Will Eventually
Modify or Abolish Prohibition

Chicago. May 27.-"The middle
west--it is wonderful" declared
Rolandi Ricci, Italy's ambassa-
dor to the United States, yesterday
while resting with his staff in Chi
cago after spending several days in
the central states, enroute from Cali
fornia to Washington.
with its many farms, large in
dustries and hard working, serious
minded people, the middle west offers
to any man the golden opportunity"
the ambassador continued. II am
proud that many of my countrymen
have contributed TO the development
of this great district,
Il have found Italians here, as
elsewhere, frugal, industrious. and
good citizens. They have contributed
more to the wealth OF others than to
their own, perhaps, but gradually they
have augmented their own worldly
goods and in the future, I am sure,
they will receive just consideration
Against Prohibition.
The Italian ambassador expressed
himself as not being in favor of pro-
hibition.
Prohibition is a law that the
American people have given to them
selves" he said, but / feel. they will
modify, suppress or abolish it as
soon as sentiment becomes greater.
I certainly wish that no country in
the world should be dry. You see,
Italy produced last fall, 100000
quintals of wine and we would like
to find 4 market for such great
production. My feelings would be
like those of the meat packing inter
ests of America if this country
should become forcibly vegetarian.
II have not been able to detect
any difference in American women
which would entitle me to make a
distinction between the ,''flapper' type
and any other. Flappers as well as
all other women attract attention
when they are handsome and pretty"
chuckled the ambassador.
Women Have Common Duty.
"As to short skirts and bobbed
hair" the ambassador said with
