CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO
 VISIT MUSCLE SHOALS

According to present plans, the congressional delegation comprising members of the House military and Senate agricultural committee, which will inspect the Muscle Shoals property, will leave Washington Saturday night, March 25, arriving in Birmingham Sunday. From this city the trip will be made to Muscle Shoals
 Three days will be devoted to an inspection of the plants at Muscle Shoals and the Gorgas steam plant, two days being spent at Sheffield and in that vicinity. Alabama will welcome the delegation and will endeavor to place all avail able information before it, but the chief ad- vantage to be derived from the trip will be first hand knowledge of conditions at Muscle Shoals and the immensity of the project. It will be, however, more of sightseeing tour than any thing else. It takes technical experts to vs- uaize all the possibilities at Muscle Shoals. but the congressional delegation will do doubt be convinced that it's importance to the nation has not been exaggerated. No one can visit Muscle Shoals without being impressed by it's magnitude and depressed by the sight of mil lions of dollars worth of construction work abandoned and serving no useful purpose. Members of the delegation will have object lesson before their eyes which should cause them to take renewed interest in the devel- opment of this project.
 Furthermore, the delegations visit will re- move another excuse that has been used to postpone a settlement of the Muscle Shoals question. It can no longer be said that Con- gress is without all the information necessary for reaching decision. There has been too much delay already, and it is sincerely to be hoped that when the members of the two committees return to Washington some definite action may be taken to dispose of the Muscle Shoals property.

THE WHITE HOUSE CAMERA MAN

From Leslie's Weekly.
 Make 'em great'-thats our job. We hang around the press room in the executive offices of the White House till some one gives the signal.
 "Here he comes" says one of us and the rest turn out in quick step, to obey the call of the camera.
 With the stride of man who is master of himself and several others, MT Hughes, the Secretary of State, comes out after a cabinet meeting. The Secretary of State ap- pears to be in a triumphant mood. He puts the feroda hat on, pulls the brim well over his eyes, and saunters majestically out into the White House grounds. As he sees us ready for him he smiles amiably at us and click go half dozen of our shutters.
 Nothing but whiskers," growls one of the boys, as he joins the others in the press of flee afterwards.
 What did you expect, an oil painting?" asks one.
 "No, but why can't he treat us as if we were human"
 "Did you ask him to pose?"
 "I did once."
 "what did he say?"
 Say? He didn't answer me-
 We all have to smile at the new man on the job.
 It takes little time to understand the White House job. A new man is generally glad to get all the advice he can. It has been my task to help many of them.
 The White House is not coveted assign ment because most camera men are temnera- mentally sensational. They want to make pictures in dangerous places they want the difficult stunt. The freak snap shot is some thing apart from the news. A camera man at the White House is the X-ray of the pub lie mans character. He would like to dis cover such trifles as the Presidents new hat, Lodges creased trousers, Borah's hair cut Hoover's smile without his goggles, Sims sneezng, Pershing eating candy, the unex- pected crisis of trifling moment. His phi losophy is snappy, frivolously defined. He has his own ideas about the men he reveals.
 The news which the White House camera man wants involves responsibilities that are not attached to any osher news photography. He must be quick to grasp them, capable, tactful and loyal to the official restrictions. These are not. stringent. They involve only one obigation-respectful pictures. No sen sational snapshots can last around the White House. He is recording the daily life of the President, his dignity of office, and every one who comes within range of the camera must record the dignity of his environment. What we try to get is not flattering pie ture but dignifed one.
 In this administration, President Harding has set very high standard. He registers clear, he understands what the camera wants, he knows what's expected of him in the pie ture He's the best camera President I ever snapped.

JOINT THROUGH RATES BY
 RAIL AND RIVER

The Mobile and Ohio railroad has discovered it's own welfare in the establishment of joint rates with the Warrior river barge line on through traffic from St. Louis to New Orleans.
 Under this arrangement, which was proposed by the rail carrier and accepted by the river carrier, the same rates on grain and other shipments from St. Louis will apply to Mobile as now apply to New Orleans. Without these rates the Mobile and Ohio would not be able to handle the grain movement out of St. Louis in, competition with other carriers.
 The joint rates will benefit the Mobile and Ohio, which will get the haul from St. Louis to the port of Tuscaloosa on the Warrior, while the barge line will get its share for line will have increased prestige, Tuscaloosa will grow in importance as river port and Mobile will add to it's export business.
 The Mobile and Ohio is to be congratulated for this new departure in rail carriers atti- tude toward the rivers. It carries with it a suggestion to other railroads to look about and see if they may not also benefit by establishing through rates with the inland waterways.
 Mobile has duty to perform in this con nection. Large export grain movements from St. Louis recently offered could not be accept ed because Mobile has not the elevator facili- ties required. Later on, when another move ment of grain was offered, Mobile was found without federal grain inspector. Mobile can at least provide the inspector. Adequate ele- vator facilities should come in on the program of port development contemplated under the port aid amendment.

My firm has received it's first shipment of asphalt from the factory coming by the all- water route to Birmingham" said W.

NATIONALS TAKE SLUGGING MATCH FROM ATHLETICS 11-2
|DUCAN And SMITH
GO TO YANKS FOR
QUARTET AND Cash
Red Sox Get Fewster, Mil.
ler, Mitchell, Pitcher
And 100000.

NEW YORK, July 23.- Another
slice of championship stun was
whacked of the Boston Red Sox and
attached to the New York Yankees
today just after the game at the
Polo Grounds was finished, when
owners Rupert and Huston, Of the
local club. cornered Frazee, OF the
Boston outfit, and in some manner
unexplained induced him to swap
Joe Dugan and Elmer Smith for
Johnny Mitchell, Chick Fewster. Ell
mer Miller and a pitcher to be se-
lected later.
1t was q corking trade for the
Yankees. They got a couple of stei-
lar men capable of stepping right
into positions on a team In a fight
for the pennant. and they gave up
three men who have done little but
warm the bench this year. Looks
as II nothing was lost and two stars
were gained. 1T was reported late
tonight a cash payment Of 500, 900
was made by the New York club
in the trade involving Dugan.
Both Dugan and Smith left to-
night for the second swing around
the Western circuit and both are
expected to be in the battle line
Tuesday when the Yanks begin
one of those "croocial" series out
in St. Louis against the league
leading Browns. Fewster, Mitchell
and Miller trailed away reluctantly
with the hopeless Red Sox tonight
with all prospects for glory and
gain in another world series gone.
The two additions will strongly
fortify the Yankee team for the
tough battle before them and may
add enough strength to enable the
team to crowd back into first place.
Dugan will undoubtedly be sta
toned at third base at once and
the chances are Smith will be in
an outfield position within a few
days. He may replace Whitley Witt,
but the latter has been great
hitter and winning performer all
season. Meusel has just swung
into a great batting stride The
weak man of the outer line right
now is Babe Ruth and IT might be
that Smith would take his place
at least for a while. though the
Babe still draws them in at the
gate.
The Boston officials offered no
excuse for making the deal and
the only thing that favored their
side Of II was that they got four
men for two. They have weakened
their teams offensive strength con-
siderably. as none of the three
Yankees obtained today has done
much swatting. All three. howeve.,
