gation has hesitated. 1t is under stood for fear lest in some way tho Ford offer for Muscle Shoals would be aversely affected by the amend ment. It Is indicated however. that the delegation will finally vote to accept the money and permit the idle to so to work in completing what Is destined to be the biggest dam in the world. Renewal of work on the dam. it was pointed out would not affect any pending offer. If Ford's bid is accepted the government will have to build the dam, anyway. If the Alabama Power company's offer Is accepted. that company would be required. to reimburse the govern ment for the expenditure.
 While the delegation declines to take the public into its confidence relative to matter of so vital im- port to Alabama. the belief Is gen eral that when 1t votes 1t will vote on the practical side of the question.

GoUernor Kilby and Legal AdUisers Go
 East on Rush Call
By FRED H. GORsfLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-JferaId, 221-s First National Bank Building

Montgomery, June 21.--(Special)- Governor. Kilby left the capital un- expectly for the east on state busi- ness late Wednesday afternoon. It had not been known that he com templated the trip and when callers inquired for him during the late aft- ernoon they received the concise statement that "the governor has gone east on business for the state" No statement was made as to the governors destination.
 It Is probable the executive will be out on the state several days. No one knows what would take him to the east now unless 1t be mat ters in connection with the construc- ton ofs the prison at Camp Kilby. The state has need for no negotia- tons regarding money as 1t Is now paying its own way and does not owe a penny.
 Harweil C. Davis, attorney gener- al, Judge James J. Mayfield, special assistant attorney general, accom- panied the governor. ''~

 Open Warfare Conducted The striking miners, said to numbel more than 1000, surrounded the camp. shooting from all sides and open warfare was conducted for sew eral hours. The bullets spat with machine gun regularity.
 The trouble followed mn fndig- nation meeting held near Herr rim today, following publication of a telegram from John l.. Lew- k, president of the United Mine Workers of America, that the workmen at the Strip mine. who are members of the Shovel mems union were "cOmnOn strike brcakers.v MT. Lewls' telegram added that the Shovel- mems union had been outIawed. After firing had continued more than one hour the Strip mine employees raised n flag of truce, and when a srunnerr from the union forces wns sent across the union lines he was shot in the ankle. Hostilitfes then were re- newed with greater vigor, and
 
 again rnised n white flag the signal wns ignored. Darkness finally brought the shooting to mn end. as it apparently was feared the s:lots would be mis- directed and the fighters would wound their own men.

SAWDUST AS COW FEED

In the long ago people used to re-
late the story of a Connecticut Yam
kee who fed his horse shoepegs in
stead of oats. The animal, it will be
remembered, died just as he was be-
coming accustomed to the dietary
change. The point of the joke would
be lost in Wisconsin, where the ag-
ricultural experiment station has dis
covered that real high : producing
dairy cows give just as much milk
when hydrolyzed sawdust forms a
third Of the feed mixture.
According to a recent report from
the station, two lots of three cows
each were fed for seventy days. One
lot received an excellent ration of al
falfa, hay, corn silage and a concen-
yellow corn, twenty parts linseed
meal. The ration for the other lot
was the same except hydrolyzed saw
dust made from western white pine
was gradually substituted for ground
corn at the rate of two pounds of
SaWduSt Tor one pound OF corn. When
the percentage Of sawdust in the con-
centrate mixture had reached 40 per
cent, two cows failed to eat the mix
ture we'll. and the proportion of hy-
drolyzed sawdust was reduced to one
third and no difficulty was expert
enced in getting the cows to eat this
mixture. The cows maintained the
live weight slightly better on the hy-
drolyzed sawdust, while the milk and
fat production ON the two rations was
practically the same. Inasmuch as
in certain districts of the country car
bohydrate-rich feeds are commonly
high in price, the conversion Of saw
dust into a stock food may perhaps
be Of economic Importance.

VOTING By MAIL

Christian Science Monitor: There
is a plan on foot to change the pres
ent somewhat cumbersome system of
voting for a method of election by
mail. Many advantages are claimed
for the innovation by it's originators,
not the least of which is that the add
ed convenience for the voters would
insure a much greater number exer-
cising their privilege as voters. In
view of the fact that at the last presi-
Dental election less than eco
qualified voters voted put of a pos
sible 60,000.000, any system which
would make for such an improve
ment is certainly worth considering.

MINING ACTIVITY
At ELY CROWNS

Reports from Ely are hat the Ne
vada camp is in a very prosperous
condition. The new milling plant of
the Nevada Consolidated Copper
Company at McGill is being rapidly
constructed. On September Is two
mills capable Of treating $50 tons
we're completed in accordance with
the company's schedule. Two more
will be added. 1t is said, every two or
three weeks until ten units in all are
installed.
Soon after the first of the year the
new milling plant will have capacity
adequate for the needs of the COM
pany. AS the demand for copper in
plans of the company are to
increase the capacity so that $4,000
tons can be treated daily.
According to reports, more miners
have recently been available for I'm
ployment. At present from 400 to
500 men are working at Ruth and
more men are going to work every
day. II is believed that companies
from now on will be able to secure
the number of miners necessary to
extend operations in keeping with
present plans.
Kimberley, where the Consolidated
Copper Mines Company has resumed
operations, is daily taking on new
life. Latest reports from the Ely
district are to the effect hat 102 men
are on the payroll of the Copper
Mines Company. Cleaning out and

IS ~URA

Salt Lake Tribune Sept. Is: Ad-
vance of the local settlement price
for lead to $3.50 is n OF the most
inspiring events TO occur for several
years as related to the mining indus
try. Lead mines. which have been
operating upon o small margin OF
profit for months. are now suddenly
confronted with an outlook unusual
in its promise. Eastern metal men
report that the pronounced stringen-
cy of lead supplies has developed into
an actual corner" Prices are sky
rocketing and buying activity Is fe-
verish.
The Financial Review, n of the
most conservatives of eastern papers,
says that there is not enough lead on
hand to satisfy al demands at pres
emit, even though producers are OPP
Grating at full capacity and turning
out maximum production. As for
eign are also depleted, all
indications point to a sustained and
extensive upward price movement.
Indirectly, the shortage in lead
supplies is throwing increasing bust
ness into the zinc market, as the lat
ter metal a be used as a substitute.
Available stocks of this metal are
seriously depleted from the coal and
rail strikes, which have curtailed
smelter operations in the east.
Advance of zinc to 7@7.05 cents a
pound last week, with heavy sales,
marks the fifth increase in three
weeks, as well as the highest quota
ton for the metal in over two years.

WOMEN MAY
ELECT CITIZENSHIP

The Cable bill, providing for indie
pendent citizenship of married wo-
men, has been signed by President
Harding and now is the law of the
land. Considering the place women
hold in world affairs 1t is remarkable
that right guaranteed in this law
should have been so long denied.
The clear intent and purpose of
the law is to give women equal rights
with men in the matter Of citizen
ship. Hereafter an alien woman will
not automatically become an Ameri-
can citizen through marriage to an
American. The matter of becoming
a citizen is left to the woman herself.
II she wishes to become a citizen she
may do so through compliance with
the naturalization laws, modified in
her Ease by omission of the otherwise
required declaration of intention and
by reduction of the period of resi-
dence from FIVE years to one year.
An alien woman also is not de-
barred from American citizenship by
reason of her marriage to an alien,
but may become naturalized whether
her husband does so OF not. An
American woman marrying an alien
who is eligible by reason Of such mar
rage, unless she chooses formally to
it. The law is sane, SEN
sible, and should have been enacted
long ago.

THE CARQUINEZ BRIDGE

News of an Improvement of I'M
common importance is found in an
announcement of the bridging Of Car
quinez strait. between Solano and
Contra Costa Counties, California.
The strait of Carquinez is a stretch
of water which, generally, may be
called the eastern end of San Fran
cisco bay. 1t lies just below the con-
fuence of the Sacramento and San
Joaquin rivers.
The bridge Is to be a steel struc-
ture and is to ost $2.500,000. 1t is
ment has been obtained and that the
approval of the two counties men
toned awaits only the completion OF
legal formalities. The bridge will
have a span high enough to permit
the passage of the tallest ships.
The bridge is to be run on the toll
plan, so that those who use IL will
pay for it.. At the end of twenty-five
years all the rights of the will
be surrendered to the two counties
named. 1t is to be built with capital
supplied by persons directly con-
cerned. and will not be a subscription
undertaking. 1t is said that the pro-
ject has been fully financed.
1t is estimated that the bridge will
effect a saving of from so to so per
cent in e~astbound and northbound
transportation from the cities on the
eastern side of San Francisco bay.
and will afford a convenient means
for Automobiles to make the trip
from east to west and west to east
without crossing by ferry.
The Strait Of Carquinez has long
been the scene of ferry transport on
an enormous scale. Practically all of
the eastbound and westbound traffic
of the Southern Pacific is carried
across the water from Port Costa to
Benicia and vice versa On huge ferry
boats, n of which, the Solano, Is
said to be the largest ferry boat in
the world. Entire trains, sometimes
two or three of them, are run aboard
these immense ferry boats, locomo-
tives and all. The crossing Is an ex-
perience which the traveller finds
worth writing home about.
