BARUCH ASKSU. S.
..TAKEFORDO OFFER
Would Demand 10000 Tons
Nitrogen a Year Of Muscle !:
Shoals Plant.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Acceptance of Henry Fords offer
for Muscle Shoals, provided no better
offer is available and conditioned on
the actual production of nitrogen for
fertilizer at the rate of 10000 tons
year, is recommended in special
renort made to the American Farm
Bureau Federation by Bernard NJ.
Bsruch, wartime chairman OF the
War. Industries Board.
Mr.. Baruch's letter incorporating
his views. addressed to Gray Silver.
W washington representative of the
Farm Bureau Federation: was taken
to the Capitol by federation of1cials
today. for presentation to the House
agricultural committee. 1t was as
follows:
Pursuant to your request I am
handing you a report on the situa-
ton relating 10 the development of
a nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals.
This report was originally prepared
several weeks ago and since then
has been rechecked by Its author. Le-
land l.. Summers, than whom / think
there Ia no man better qualified to
judge;
New Nitrogen Source. Aim.
Here Is the way II lies In my mind.
10 tAiC VI all. anu
that l include myself. to develop at
Muscle Shoals a new source of nitro
gen. This would exclude any bids or
offers that did not carry an obligation
to produce and develop commercially
d nitrogen process.
This can be done in the following
ways:
81. By government development.
Except as last resort, Lam op-
posed to this on account 81 its in
herent disadvantages.
'2. BY combination of industry
or independently.
-. BY the Ford development. This
apparently is the only offer that has
come forward SO far from a private
source promising development along
commercial lines. If no more advan-
guments against awarding the con-
tract to Henry Ford would not be
convincing.
For Certain Notifications.
without commenting upon the
terms of the contract or considering
the adequacy of the price. there are
certain notifications or Qualifications
that should be made. Among these
Is the one made on the bottom of
retary of War. Document No. 1877,
where the Secretary draws attention
to. the fact that the language con-
tanned therein IL susceptible of a con-
struction to the effect that Mr.. Ford
Is personally bound only to see that
company enters into the contracts re-
quired to carry out the terms of the
proposal. All doubt in regard to Mr..
Ford's personal liability should be re-
moved.
"The most important thing that
ought to be clarified. Is the following:
That Mr., Ford undertakes to make
10000 tons of fixed nitrogen per year,
and il he does not make it the prop
erty Is to revert to the government.
After all, 1t is the fixing OF the nj
trogen that is the crux of the whole
contract. l am quite sure that the
contract means to cover this point,
but II should be made clear.
However great the pecuniary re-
wards might be to Mr.. Ford or to
any one else who will undertake It,
there viii be added a contribution Of
almost inestimable value, to the flu
ture of American agriculture and
safety OF America in time Of war"

THE DRY" NAVY SPRINGS A
LEAK.

A rather interesting, amusing and
possibly significant incident is that of
the troubles of the good ship Hansen,
the only craft of the so-called prohibi-
ton nayy'sfleet which is able tosput to
sea in rough weather.
There have been lying off and on
the port Of New York for some time
various rum laden vessels with cargoes
said to be worth some $G,00O000 or ST.
100000. These could hardly pass in
without interference from the Hansen,
if the Hansen we're on the job.
Saturday night last some one ordered
the engines of the Hansen dismantled
for repairs. The prohibition chief knew
nothing about it, according TO the re-
ports, and supposed the vessel was at
tending TO its duty. However, the cap.
tains of the rum fleet, many miles off
shore, got the glad tidings and some OF
them raced past the Hook, through the
Narrows and landed their cargoes.
When the news Of this crime reached
headquarters it was discovered that it
would take several days to make the
Hansen navigable again.
The lesson seems TO be that our "dry
navy" needs more ships that will be sea
worthy in rough weather.-Knicker-
booker Press (Albany.)

To The Editor:
I would like to see a meeting called
to be held on March 2, Texas Independ-
ence Day, in the old Alamo, for the
organization Of a Texas society OF
Native Sons and Daughters. would
like to see some prominent San An
tonian call this meeting. Do 1 hear
a second?
I think it Is about time that native
Texans organize for their own protec-
ton. I realize this from the fact that
there are 20 many native Texans who
are out of employment. 1t seems that
the best positions are given to outsid-
crs, in preference to Texans. although
the Texans are fully qualified to fill
them. don't mean TO say this is done
Intentionally by the employers, but l
do say that IL native Texans were or
ganized they would get recognition
where they are now being ignored.
People come here from the North
and they fall into the best jobs while
native Texans have to walk the streets
looking for work. and then can't get it.
l move that a meeting be held in the
old Alamo on Texas Independence Day,
March . for the organization of a
Texas society Of Native Sons and
Daughters. Is there a second?

A RESTAURANT CODE OF
ETHICS.

It is coming to be more and more
the fashion for great business organiza-
tions and civic bodies of various kinds
to have written codes of ethics TO which
their members are pledged to adhere in
the conduct of their own affairs and in
their relations with others.
1t is doubtful IL any countrywide
American association of business men
has a more comprehensive ethical code
than that Of the National Restaurant
association recently adopted in conven-
ton in Washington. Covering a deal
of ground, this code sets up ideals of
method and practice bearing on every
phase of the restaurant business, in
Guiding management, treatment Of en-
ployes, craft conduct, loyalty to gov
eminent and its laws, relationship TO
the public, service TO patrons, contract
ual. agreements and other matters of like

ship.
An association like this-if its mem
bers live up to the letter Of their volun-
teered creed-can do a public good be-
yOnd the mere serving Of food to the
hungry. 1t can thus raise the standards
of its own members TO the point where
they become irreproachable. and it can
create a moral and business compulsion
strong enough to force all restaurant
business TO high levels.-Minneapolis

In last Sundays Light parents whose

urged to water the garden plot thor

days thereafter when the water had had
time to soak in; also, to assign portion
Of the garden to their sons, hold them
re ponsible for the results, and pay them
the market price for the vegetables
raised. This would develop in the boys
sclf-reliance. responsibility, and ability
to stay it'll a job, also, the habit OF
earning, saving and investing. A large

age Of go or more will be obliged to
make their homes with their sons or
daughters and depend upon them for
support. Is there anything more i'm
portant than to develop habits Of in
dustry and thrift in these sons and
daughters at an early age?
At my request, Ferd Staffel, San

One of tho principal occupations Of the

SOME OFFICE BOYS.

Life continues to beat fiction at its
own game. Fifty years ago John G..
Shedd started with Marshall Field as a
cler,I Mt $40 a week. Now he retires
from the presidency Of the great store.
He is succeeded by James Simpson. Mr..
Simpson began as an office boy. Some
body must take Mr.. Simpsons place. So
John Mckinley becomes vice president.
Mr.. Mckinley was another office boy.
Apparently there is no keeping a good
office boy down.
The only way the movies can compete
with this sort of thing is by speeding it
up. On the screen no office boy would
have to wait more than three months
before he was standing around waiting
for the head of the concern to see that
the only thing for him to do was to die
or retire. And he would be a super
office boy, one who never made anything
that looked in the least like a mistake
If Mr.. Simpson or Mr.. Mckinley had
gone on for a week or two without
making a mistake his immediate super

Don't worry. We don't drink II,

Nowadays the real thing Is sold at

it sells rapidly.
Maybe when real cranberry sauce
gets to London the chefs Of London
will understand why Americans serve
it with turkey.
Cranberry sauce does not blend with
turkey, like apple sauce with pork or
red currant sauce with roast mutton,
the London chefs decide, because
cranberry sauce is a sweet, a dessert,

The fact happens to be that cram
berry sauce made rightly is not fit to
serve as a dessert, while apple sauce
pretty commonly is served with the
roast pork or with the chocolate cake
and with cream.
But English chefs may make cram
berry sauce as if they were preparing
to make cranberry pie.
