CASH WILL BE USED TO

Propose to Produce Nitrates at

ny The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. lon the eve
Of delivery TO congress BY Secretary
Weeks of Henry Ford's offer for the
government properties at Muscle
Shoals, Fla Freaecik E. Engstrum or
Wilmington. N C., presented the war
secretary with an amended proposal
to complete. lease and operate the
Muscle Shoals properties for the man
ufacture OF nitrates for fertilizers.
The amended proposal was accom-
panied by letter signed by Marion
Butler, acting legal adviser for Mr..
Engstrum which recited the outstand-
ing features of the proposal as fol-
lows:
A guarantee cost to compIete.
Government retains ownership ana
preserve assets of $4,000, 900.
Returns from investment on a basis
OF 100000 kiliomatt gross deye:op-
ment; this lease win pay TO the gov
ernment. the letter says, ss,504. 600 per
year for so years. or a total at com
pound 4 per cent interest of approxi-
mately s5S7, 0.0eO. This cash VIII be
used to produce cheap nitrates for
fertilizers or can be turned into the
treasury at the option OF the govern
ment.
Success Of nitrate manufacture
which can be economically used for
fertilizer is dependent entirely on sale
or power; without the support OF the
power development and sale OF excess
power TO finance the nitrate plants il
would not be best 10 continue the
manufacture and sale OF nitrates.
The power end OF the industry is
solely developed for the benefit of the
factory. The separation of the fac
tory from the power destroys the unity
Of the industry.
This lease proposes to devotet the
entire power development to the man
ufacture Of nitrates, including the de-
velopment OF improved methods for
the reduction OF cost OF producing nj
trates. The quantity Of nitrates an
nually produced is limited only by the
amount of excess power sold and the
selling price of nitrates fixed by the
government.
The method proposed to finance by
the sale OF excess power, the manu-
facture OF nitrates is the only pos
sible method by which nitrates can be
produced under present known meth
DDS and sold to the American farm
mers at a price less than the Chilean
products.

cluded, ito consider also changes or

COMING TO PALACE
SUNDAY AND MONDAY

A motion picture that will strike
home to many young American mar
ried couples is Dangerous Curve
Ahead!", a Goldwyn feature written
by Rupert Hughes, which comes to
the Palace Theater for two days,
commencing Sunday. Miss Helene
Chadwick, called the most photo
graphed girl in America" has the
principal role.
The story of the play concerns
the early married life of a small
town girl who was the belle of her
community before her marriage to
an easy going domcstically inclined
husband. Inwardly chatting under
the restraints imposed by the cares
of her home, and the rearing of her
two children, she scizes the first
opportunity to taste again of the
butterfly life in society, while her
husband is away on business.
How she avoids the Dangerous
Curve, and is brought to her senses
by the illness of her little child, Gag
erly rcsuming the yoke OF domestic
ity, is dramatically portrayed.
AS an added attraction Isabelle
Goodman will make her first appear
ance before a Juneau audience in
vocal selection. Leslie White will
also appear in new songs and Smoky
will be there in a new comedy.

M Simple Habits Win
Fortunately, it was many years
after her. married lifc began before
Princess Augusta shad any important
roles to perform, sthus she managed
to continue with her simple habits
without provoking unfriendly com
ment. She had, suo experience with
court life and knew little If any
thing about cities. therefore it was
years before she. mastered the de-
tails OF her royal social status.
Yet with all their disparity of tenn
perments, those. who had predicted
an unhappy union for the Crown
Prince were forced. as the years
wore on, to admit that their judg-
ment had played them false Never
were there any well Wounded ru-
mors Of separation, or even if dis
agreement. The political wiseacres,
who usually are able to assign
reason for all royal utterances or
actions, were hopelessly at sea when
one day William issued statement
characterizing Empress Augusta as
"a precious pearl; the type of all the
virtues of a Germanic Princess. To
her owe it that am able to tackle
and perform in cheerful spirit the
difficult duties of my position"
Supreme Empress
Docilc and uninterosted in affairs
of state, Empress Augusta neverthe-
less was supreme within the palace
walls. The accounts. the orders. the
supplies, the arrangement of the bill
Of fare, and the management Of her
seyen children were under her I'm
mediate supervision. Once the EN-
peror told one o. his officers that
he wanted the young Princess to
learn how to paddle canoe. When
the officer mentioned this to the
Empress, she refused to hear of them
taking such risks.

the ORDER said the officer.
THAT may be as you say" she
replied. smiling. che is the Kaiser
of Germany but am the Kaiser of
the nursery"
Princess Hermine, on the other
hand, Is understood to enjoy and re-
spect all the royal traditions which
Princess Augusta abhorred. While
she is hardly known beyond the
German borders. and seldom If ever
was mentioned, even in the newspa-
pers of Germany before her engage
ment to the ex-Empcror was an
nounced. still there are many house
holds in Central Europe which pro-
fess to have an intimate knowledge
OF her character. caDd in these the
praponderance of opinion is that she
has all the qualities to make her a
! valuable and sympathetic companion
