Avoiding rash predictions,
this year appears to be y real
dollar year for football at
Douglas park, as played by
the Rock Island Independents.
Last season there was a gener-
al admission price of one dol
lar but the palrOns of the game
at this figure voiced protest
against Inadequate accOmnO-
dations after they were once
within the park. 1t became q

management.

Bleachers ut either end Of the
center section on the north side
retailed at 50 cents extra Last
season, but this time the dol

admit you TO these. Then, too,
it is said bleachers will be
erected to the west of the
grandstand and these also will
be covered by the one price.
In addition there will be the
permanent bleachers at the
east end Of the field for those
who are unfortunate enough to

dependents scamper through wha
amounted to nothing more than
good scrimmage. Next Sunday tn
opposition should be totally differ

same fans and many more will b
willing to extract a larger amour
from their pockets.

Consideration" and "only One

Washington.-Hen Ford's offer for
the Muscle Shoals Ala nitrate and

fore congress with the filing of three
conflicting reports by the house mill

acceptance or rejection Of the terms

One of these. presented by Acting
Chairman Mckenzie, acting for the
majority of the committee, recon-
mends acceptance of the Ford offer,
but with the Gorgas Warrior steam
power plant eliminated. an impossible
arrangement. Ford has repeatedly
told the committee that he will not
take Muscle Shoals without the Cor
gas plant.
The other major report, submitted
by Representative Wright, of Georgia,
and signed by eight committee mem
bers, recommends complete accept
ance of the Ford proposition, with the
Gorgas properties included.
A third report, presented by Repre-
sentative Praker of New Jersey, urged
extensive alterations in the Ford bid
before its acceptance on any basis.
A fourth report. from one or two
committee members who believe the
government should retain ownership
and control at Muscle Shoals. may be
filed later.
Ifnmediately upon filing Of the com
mittee reports strong group of south
ern and western congressman started
a movement to secure consideration
of the Ford offer on the floor at this
session of congress. Plans were laid
for putting petitions in circulation un-
less republican leaders gave assur-
ances that make this unnecessary
The majority committee sets forth
in detail detailed account of how the
majority of members arrived at their
recommendation. 1t calls the Ford Of
fer "the only one worthy of serious
consideration and "the only one that
meets all the requirements of the ma
tional defense act"
