 Humble French Shirtmaker.

The body of the shirt making marquis has been sent to Toulouse. where it lies with those of his ancestors.

Washington, June O.-Three separate
reports setting forth Recommendations
for action BY Congress with respect to
private development Of the Govern
ment's $1O0. 600. mo COVER and nitrate
projects at Muscle Shoals. Alabama.
were made to the House today by mem.
bers Of the Military Committee. The
task Of making a final decision II ad-
mitted in each Of the reports to be the
duty Of the full membership 'Of the
House at m early date, but recommsr.
dations to that end. submitted after
four months Of continuous consideration
BY the committee. differ in important
respects as they are presented IN the
documents.
Acting Chairman McKensie, Of iii.
noi:. who drafted the majority report:
declares at th outset Of that document
that the Ford proposal IL the only one
found WORTHY of serious considcra.
ton" and asks its acceptance BY the
House. provided. however. that the
Gorgas steam plant IL not included
among the projects to be disposed OF at
Muscle Shoals.
Concurrence in the majority report,
except for the references made with re.
spect to the Goryas plant, is voiced IN
one Of the minority opinions presented
by Representative Wright, Of Georgia
and supported By Representative James
Michigan, and the remaining Demo
cratic members. They ask full compli :.
ance by the House with all provisions Of
the Ford proposal. including the Gorgat
property, and point out the belief that
II Congress eliminates the Gorgas unit
It would defeat the Ford offer.
In the third report, submitted by Rep.
resentative Parker, Of New Jersey, and
signed by Representative Frothingham'
Of Massachusetts,, the opinion Is adverse
to tho acceptance Of Mr.. Ford's Offer
unless 1t Is modified in other sections
than that dealing with Gorgas. In the
event Mr.. Ford declines to agree to the
notifications proposed. the signer'
would have the Secretary Of War lease
the dams and nitrate plants ION such
terms as will secure the completion oi
the dams,'' and would authorize him
Ito settle the fair value Of the Gorgat
plant and convey the same to the Ala
bama Power Company"

will It be?"
without hesitation she replied:
Hoasi"nS I said no more, but took his
ten year .old son, Alexander, leaving
Eleanor, two and half, with her
mother. He went to his mothers home
In Wycoff.
Then Repentance Comes
Mrs. Hoasland and Roscoe left the
cottage together. Last Saturday they
and packed all the woman's clothing.
Women of the neighborhood came and
reproached Mrs. Hoagland, urging her
not to desert her home.
Although under great nervous
strain, Mrs. Hoagland replied that her
mind was made up. The couple, with
entered RoscOe's sedan and drove away.
Last Monday they returned to Vest
wood. Repentance had come rs swiftly
as the decision to give up the tranquil
life Of Westwood for what she thought
was greater happiness. What she had
believed was romance proved to be
disillusion.
Together the returning elopers sought
the Rev. Ellsworth Ward Decker, pas.
tor of the church where they still
held membership. They wanted recon-
ciliation with those they deserted.
Wife Forsives Strayers
DR.. Decker summoned Mrs. Roscoe
to the parsonage. Abashed and hum.
bled, Roscoe begged his wife's forgive.
ness. Without hesitation she embraced
him and then. turning, embraced the
woman who had taken her husbands 's
love.
said ss Mr.. and ysss. ysSs 'ssE ssy will nS! Hor w'n nsv
husband viii not take you back. you
can make your home in Pearl River"
DR.. Decker then sent for Tloagland,
but the outraged husband refused to
come. Mrs. Hoagland wept when the
pastor told her her husband was OBJ.
durate and would not take her back.
Mrs. Hoagland's intuition warned
her to reject the offer made by Mrs.
Roscoe. She lifted her baby again, and
clutching 1t to her breast, started down
the road with the grim realization that
the woman always pays.
Since then Chief Of Police Bird, of
Westwood, has searched for the erring
wife without success. All she has ap-
parently Is some clothes, a little money,
her baby and bitter memories.
Files Divorce Suit
Hoagland went to the Westwood par.
sonage last Tuesday. DR.. Decker
asked him to forgive and forget, but
the husband remained unmoved.
II love Ethel deeply" he said. II
adore her, but cannot forgive. It Is
too late now, anyhow, because my at.
torney filed suit for divorce today. I
am going through with it-and get GUS

At Westwood today men talked of

that little borough again. Roscoe, at

tragic episode will lead to the courts.
Roscoe was asked over the, telephone
today to give his side Of the case II he
