FUNDS PROVIDED FOR ACTIVE WORK
 0NMUSCLES SHOALS
President Releases $600,- 900, Which Will Permit Work Until Oct. l, When
 Regular Work Begins
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age-Heral, 6QQ naHIdgnn RniId


 Washington Bureau. The Age-Herald,
 500 Davidson Building.
 Washington, August 29.-(Special.) ) The release by the President of 600, 900 of an old appropriation of $s00.- 900 in order that work on a large scale might be resumed September l. on Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals was hailed with delight by mem bers of the Alabama delegation to- day.
 Congress voted to make an appro- priation of s7,50o,0oo for the com pletion of the dam available only by October 1. There is general knowledge today. however, that, that vote was cast as result of unwise strategy on the part of the agents of Henry Ford. who thought that by postponing the availability of the money, republicans would be forced to vote on the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals.
 That strategy has failed, and the best that Alabamians hope for to- day is that republican leaders. be- fore the conclusion of the pending session, will designate a time cer- tain when the Ford offer will be voted upon next session. Repre- sentative W. B. Oliver of the Sixth district, one of the most ardent ad- yocates of the Ford offer. declared tonight that he believed the republi- cans would eventually agree on . time certain to vote.
 As the postponement of tho heavy appropriation until October l. de- layed for several months the full return of prosperity to Alabama. the resumption of work on a large scala September 1, will have great effect. Alabamians agree. on the in- dustrial and unemployment situation in the state. While they hold that republicans will now tell the farm CTS they have taken care of Muscle Shoals. and should be rewarded by votes at the polls, 1t Is recognized that republicans would have so claimed anyway.
 For that reason, the situation IS eminently satisfactory to Alabama members, several of whom so de- clared tonight.

 Colonel Barden told the Associated Press this morning that he would probably not have a total force of more than 1.200 men at work before October 1 which means that he will not employ more than six or seven hundred men in the next thirty days. He was particularly anxious that 1t be stressed that most of these men would be former employees who were granted leave and still retain their civil service status.

Edward L. Wilson writes from Oakland, Cal:
 "There is nothing more admirable than m open mind, willing to grope in the darkness for knowledge. But it does not seem as if the nation can afford to use the presidential office as a school for the study of eco- nomics and social conditions for many more years"

The Skagit Project Workers Have High Respect for Former
 Skagway Minister

He used to be known as Rev. L. n. Pedersen. D. D., but now he's larson Pete.
 He used io be a respected minister of the gospel. but now he is a vel fare worker. and worse and worse an editor.
 Such are a couple of the many changes that have occurred in the life of the former weH-known and popular pastor of the Auburn Pres Uytertuu church since, resigning his position here, he plunged into the wtIds of Skagit county to minister to the spiritual welfare Of labOring men employed in the city of Seat ties immense Skagtt project.
 Accompanying Rev. Pedersen was his bride. formerly Miss Marion Holt. and reports that drift out of t.e wilderness are to the effect that as has been anticipated by their Au- burn friends. this pair Of enthusias- lie workers has accomplished a graa, deal of splendid work in the now field and IS continuing its efforts with mdfmmjshed ardor

In another number a news item announces a piano recital that even ing in the theater building, with Mrs. Fred Hornstra Of Auburn as pianist. Mrs. Hornstra is a piano teacher of wide experience. and gives her talent for entertainment of camp" reads the item. Mrs. Hcrn- stra was formerly Miss Merle Fan son of this city. Another item tells of a contribution by Miss Ruth Ped erson, now a teacher in the Auburn schools, to the Sunday evening pro gram.
 Most of the activities entered into appear to be for tbe entertainment of the workers and the dispelling of that lonely feeling which is to be expected in a camp so isolated. But throughout his little paper Rev. Ped ersen has given such indications as the following that his mission in that section is not merely one Of en- tertainer.

a state II becomes a dying sun"
and apparently must eventually be
eXtinguished.
1t is the spectroscope that has
deciphered this story Of creation,
and is still deciphering more Of
1t. A correspondent deeply inter
ested in these things says ne Is
puzzled to understand how, when
many stars are seen at once In a
telescope, the spectroscope avoids
getting their rays mingled together
so that the resultant spectrum" is
also q mixed one. The explanation
is that the silt" OF the spectroscope
does not admit light from all the
objects In the field of the tele.
scope. but only from selected ones.
Thus a single star may be isolated
from those around II by mechani-
cally cutting out the latter. just as
YOU can, isolate a single dot on a
sheet of paper by looking at 1t say
through a narrow tube. II is this
way that the spectroheliograph-
a special form Of spectroscopc-
deals. with small portions Of the
suns surface.
OF course IL the object in the
field Is a dense star cluster, the
spectroscope cannot isolate a par
ticular star unless the separation
Of the individuals composing the
cluster is distinctly measurable.
But this can be effected with a
sufficiently large and powerful
telescope. Thus, with the new
100-inch glass on Mount Wilson,
the members of star clusters are
made to reveal their individual
characteristics, and can be sepa-
rately photographed. The direc-
tor, George +. Hale, says:
I'm less powerful telescopes the
stars at the center of the great
globular clusters are so closely
crowded together that they cannot
be studied separately with the
spectograph. Moreover, most OF
them are much too faint, for er.
animation with this instrument
Uhe spectrograph). At the 134inch
focus the 100-inch telescope gives
a large-scale image of such clus-
ters, and permits the spectra OF
stars as faint as the fifteenth mag
nitude to be separately photo
graphed."

BANK YOUR
MONEY
BY LOretto c. Lynch

A NEWS item of recent date
~ tells of a woman who has
"A just lost her life's savings
not fortune to be sure. in the
eyes of sCme one else-five hun
dred dollars. But that's not the
worst part of it.
The fireman drove her out with
her three kiddies-one a baby in
arms. She placed the frightened
children in the street and rushed
back to find the sugar bowl con-
tanning the money. She never re.
turned for she perished in the
flames.
How different things might have
been had she learned the banking
habit. Not only is. banking for
money saved. but every housewife
should try to have a checking ac.
count at the local bank.
To open an account is a simple
matter. When you have accumu.
lated something over 500 take 1t
to the bank and deposit it. The
bank will issue a pass book and
check book.
When the housewife receives
her weekly and monthly allow
ance, she should take II to the
bank. Then, bills incurred may
be paid by check. The cancelled
check is an indisputable receipt.
In every home there is need of
ready cash. A check drawn TO
cash" may be cashed at the bank
and the money kept in some con.
venient place in the home. Natur.
ally. not much ready cash should
be kept in any home. Thieves are
less likely to visit homes where
available funds are in a checking
account.
Once each month. leave the book
at the bank to be balanced. The
details of keeping a checking aC-
count will be thoroughly explained
to any one seeking information at
the bank. and If you've never kept
a checking account, do try keeping
one. It's really very simple, and
assists one to keep household &C.
