FOR ACCEPTANCE
Of FORD OFFER
Muscle Shoals Offer Urged by
Minority of Senate Agri-
culture Committee

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-(By The
Associated Press)-Acceptance oil
Henry Ford's offer for purchase and
lease of the governments vast nj
trate and water power projects al
Muscle Shoals, Ala, was urged by
Republican and Democratic senators
comprising a minority of the senate
agricultural committee in a report
submitted today to the senate.
Strong protest was entered by the
senators against the acceptance OF
the government ownership and opor-
alton plan proposed by Senator Nor
ris, of Nebraska, the committee
chairman.
The report was presented by IL
tor Ladd, Republican, North Dakota
in behalf of the Ford proponents on
the committee whose signatures were
attached. 1t estimated that the gov
eminent had lost $4,000 900 at Mus
Gle Shoals since the armistice, by
failure to develop and operate the
project, and declared the quickest
way to stop these "losses is to ac-
cept Henry Ford's offer for the pur-
chase and lease of the governments
Muscle Shoals properties"
Certain objections to the Ford
OlltI SttIl dpPdi tiitt Nv iNPOit foAt
but we insist without fear of sue
cessful contradiction that none of
the objections to the Ford offer can
be remedied or solved by govern
ment ownership and operation-by
the government going inc the power
business or entering the uncharted
and hazardous field of operating nj
trate plants at Muscle Shoals in the
production of heterogeneous and other
commercial fertilizers using electro
chemical processes, the commercial
success of which is yet controversial.
For congress to adopt such a pol
icy when Henry Ford's offer makes
1t unnecessary for the government
to do So" it continued, would sub
ject congress to the just condemna-
ton and reproach of all sober-mind-
ed people,"
The belief was expressed that
every member of the senate would
agree with the committee minority
with reference to the acceptance Of
Mr.. Ford's proposal when they con-
slider the present fuel and transport
tation emergencies" in the light of
development of such great hydro
electric power as is found at Muscle
Shoals" adding that it "is the only
certain and permanent relief in the
future from the present paralysis of
American industry"
The report called attention to
charges that acceptance of Mr..
Ford's tender, would give him a gov
ernment subsidy in the development
of power and the manufacture of
and said:
1T has been claimed that the Ford
offer constitutes a subsidy it is not
Ford. If it is a subsidy. it is not
such a subsidy as is proposed by the
administration In the ship subsidy
bill"
The report then cited a COMPARE
son between the Ladd bill and that
proposing federal relief for the mer-
chant marine, showing hat the for
mier called for an expenditure of
sac, 0O0,0 900 while the latter required
an expenditure of ~$125,000,0
In hal connection, it was contend
ed one measure would take the
government out of the shipping bust
ness while the other would take it
out of the fertilizer and power BUSH

connection that this Ladd bill would

Troposed?"
Referring 10 the relationship

THEATRES
Strand Feature

II may sound rather routine to
saw that Norma Talmadge has scored
another screen success in her latest
starring vehicle, "Smilin' Through
the First National attraction which
began an engagement at the strand
Theatre last night.
And so we must go a little further
and say that "Smilin' Through IS
positively the best thing that Norma
has yet done for the silent drama.
More than that, it is a magnificent
dramatic production in every re-
spect. 1t is a new classic of the
screen.
Norma is superb in the dual role
which she plays in her
CAPABLE She proves herself
a great tragedienne as well as emo
tional actress in the part of Moon
yeen, who is killed by a jealous lover
on her wedding day. She is charm
ing, alluring, adorable as Kathleen,
the little niece of Moonyeen.
The story revolves itself around
the romance of Kathleen and young
Kenneth Wayne, son of the slayer or
Moonyeen, and the embittered lie
of John Carteret, who was deprived
of his beautiful bride at the altar.
Wyndham Standing, as John Car
teret, and Harrison Ford, as Ken
meth Wayne and jeremiah Wayne,
give magnificent support to MISS
Talmadge. The remainder of n
cast, including Alec B.. Frames,
Glenn Hunter, Grace Griswold. Mir
lam Battista and Eugene Lockhart,
also do fine work.
Much credit, of course, is due to
the efforts of Sidney Franklin. whose
direction is apparent through
out the screening of "Smllln

Forest Fires in British Co.
Iumbia Have a Peculiar
Effect Upon Some OF the
Wild Animals.

Prince George, B. c., July "a
Two amusing bear stories. both
vouched for by reputable eye-wit-
nesses, are going the rounds mere
Forest fires in northern British
Columbia during the past mohth
have had O. peculiar effect upon
some of the wild animals OF the
woods, judging from some or the
stories brought in to Prince george.
A fight between a fite-crdled
hear and a mule, in which the near
was worsted occurred at l.. Ma
sons ranch, at Bednesti, Is. &. Tie
forest fire routed the bear from
its lair, and in its lash from the
flames into the open cour'fy II
collided violently with jack
mule. The bear was promptly
stretched out on the ground by
double tattoo from the capaple
hind hoofs and the mule calmly re-
sumed its interrupted grazing.
Thoroughly angered, the bear
picked itself up and cautiously APP
nroached the mule from n differ
emit angle. The huge paw was
brought down with a reaoundlnS
thwack on the mules ribs. This
was unfortunate. The hocfs were
again brought into play, after
Quick, accurate maneuver for po-
sition, and the fight was called Off
so far as the bear was concerned.
Mr.. Mason, who had Witnessed the
unusual encounter, dashed to the
house for a rifle to finish the bear,
should any life be le.t. Before he
could get back to the scene, how
ever, Bruin managed to get greg
gily to his feet and return to the
less exciting environment of the
forest fire.
A fire patrol ranger is sponsor
for another bear story. While
making a survey In the mountain
district, he came upon young
cub suffering from severe burns
on feet and body. The yoIngster
was whimpering from the pain
and the forester took pity on it,
lifted it into his car and there
made it fast with some rope.
The patrolman started on his
Journey only to discover that the
mother bear had appeared and
was in hot pursuit. AS the track
ran uphill at this point. the bear,
making long strides, gained stead
lily and the need for strategy was
clearly indicated. The forestry
book of instructions does not COW
er situation such as this, but the
ranger was resourceful and decid-
ed that the best plan would be to
throw the cub overheard. His it
tempts to unite the knots on the
lashings which secured the young
ster to the machine, however, prov
ed futile. Pursuer and pursued
came to a yet sleeper grade, with
the advantage all with the former.
Finally, with one mighty effort the
old bear threw herself on the back
of the car. holding on by her claws
and paws.
This is where the forester de-
cided to retire in favor of the enc
my. He dove off the car and re-
gained his feet in time to see 1t
continuing its journey eastward,
with a mother and child happily
reunited as its passengers. Later
the automobile was found, run
down and everything intact eX-
cept the side of the seal where
the cub had been tied, the old bear
having torn it out to release her
offspring.

TY COBB IS GIVING SISLER A
CLOSE RUN FOR STICK fI0NORS;
ARE SEPARATED BY II points

Chicago, July % (by the Asso-
ciated Press. )--Perhaps Tyrus
Raymond Cobb is convinced, in his
own mind, that he is SLOWING up
after seventeen years as a star in
the American league, but George
Sisler, the marvel player with st,
Louis whose batting honors Cobb
is threatening today. Ia positive the
Georgia Peach" will be his most
dangerous rival for the 1922 bat
ting championship.
The race between Cobb and Sis
Ter today is narrowed down to a
difference OF only eleven points,
with sisler setting the pace with
an average of .416, n drop Of four
points within week. Cobb, con-
tinuing his batting rampage
smashed out nine hits in his last
five games. bringing his average
to .405. While the best Sisler could
do was four in as many games.
Sisler. however, is showing his
worth in base stealing and scoring,
having registered 70 times and
stolen 81 bases-the base steal
ing performance in the major
leagues.
Clarence "Tillle" Walker, the
smuggling outfielder with Philadel-
phia, is having a hard time catch
ing Roger Hornsby, the National
league home run leader. Just
when Tillie poles drive Hornsby
bags one for himself. Tillie
smashed two out in one game and
ran his string up to 23 which gave
him a lead of two ahead of Ker

THE CARLSBAD IDEA;
TRACY FOR SENATOR
Do We Want Action or Argument
In Washington.


The Tracy for Senator club asks
licans and all the voters of New
Mexico to the accompanying sug-
gestive editorial taken from the
editorial page of the Saturday
Evening Post of July /, 1922:
at seems impossible for the
average American, in office and
out, to get any concrete conception
of his government as a great bust
ness, needing experience, expert
knowledge, special aptitudes and,
above all, business brains in its
many departments. We run to
lawyers in government, forgetting
that lawyers are not primarily bus
mess men and that the conduct
of their own profession is, on the
whole, dilatory and unbusinesslile
and that the courts are almost in
eXtricably cluttered up. The lead
ers OF the bar, from Chief Justice
Taft down, are aware of these con-
ditions and are striving to correct
them, but the fact remaius that
they have persisted for years and
Sllll DSESl5l' IOudy tilt IdLlOllIil
business, as we'll as the courts, is
lawyer-run, lawyer delayed and,
like them, functloning too slowly,
too cumbrously and too expensive
ly.
1.-THE theory on which we pro-
coed in government is that legal
training fits a man for any and
every kind OF office.
Now we do not underate the
importance of lawyers in govern
ment, doing the work for which
lawyers are best fitted By training
and experience. But We should
retire the great surplus of lawyers
now in office to private life, until
such time as they have proved, by
introducing cleancut, expeditions
business methods in their own pro-
fession and by reforming judicial
procedure, that they are as a class
better fitted than any other to
manage the business Of the ma
| tion."--Adv.
