Declares Coolidge Found
 Wanting And Thinks Demo-
 CratS Will Name Dark Horse
WASHINGTON BUREAU CHE AGE-HERALD

After a tour of the entire United States, Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, one of the outstanding democrats of the country, declared conviction today that the next Presi dent of the nation would be the democrat nominated at the conven- ton next year.
 Tn the beginning" he said, "the country appeared to be anxious that President Coolidge be given a trial. At present, the country believes that President Coolidge has had his trial He has failed to make good. Predicts Convention Tfeup.
 Tn consequence, Senator Johnson of California has deemed 1t to be the part of wisdom to announce himf self a candidate for the presidency He will defeat the President in in enough to guarantee his nomina- ton. There will be tieup in the convention, in all probability. and there is a chance that an outsider will be nominated.
 "Everything like murder will out. Coolidge, by long silence, could not conceal the fact that he is not strong enough to be President of the United States. AS soon as he Is forced to  Congress to take some aggressive position, the entire country will know what already the Senate knows. Coolidge was not at home as presid ing officer of the Senate. He will be less at home as President of the United States.
 o o O
 Thinks Democratic Victory Sure.
 Tn all my travels I found com plaint of the republican administra- ton. There is no question, in my opinion, that the democrats will win next year. The democratic situation at present is uncomposed. I think the fight in the convention will be between Senator Underwood of Ala bama and former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. While I favor the nomination of Mir. Underwood, l doubt that either McAdoo or Under wood can be nominated.
 "McAdoo has powerful influences against him. Underwood Is too far south, in the opinion of many people, to make an acceptable candidate.
 Therefore, I predict the nomina- ton of a relatively dark horse. Sem ator Ralston of Indiana will prob ably be the man."

 Fertilizer Vital Consideration.
 Manufacture of fertilizer there" said Representative Madden, lis the vital consideration. Anyone, almost could develop the power, which Is limited to 100000 horsepower, but manufacture of fertilizer would re- quire an immediate investment of from $5o,00O 900 to sso,0O0,0o0. and MT. Ford Is the only bidder whose offer is based on the plan to manu- facture fertilizer, so badly needed by the agricultural interests of the south as well as other parts of the country.
 Some say that fertilizer cannot be made at Muscle Shoals by MT. Ford titles. Mir. Ford says he can. I think 1t should at least be tried out and demonstrated. It is worth while to try"
 Regarding the s1oo,ooo, 900 already spent by the government In the Mus cle Shoals project, MT. Madden said that, considering the farmers need for fertilizer, 1t would be a paying contribution" by the government thus to assist in developing a large supply of fertilizer.

Washington, D. C., Nov. F
 Advocates of the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals have a plan for submission to the Congress early in December which they believe will re- suit in the acceptance by Congress of the Detroit manufacturers bid.
 Today Senator J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama and J. w. Worthington, leg islatiye agent of Ford, had long consultation. After their talk, they declined to make public the plan. Senator Heflin said:
 "It Is my hope and opinion that this whole thing will be worked out early in the next session of Congress in a way that will be entirely satis- factory to Henry Ford and his friends"
 Senator Heflin during the day dis cussed road problems in Alabama with Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the bureau of public roads After wards he issued the following state- ment:
 "A few weeks ago the newspapers of Alabama carried a Washington story to the effect that certain road projects in our state had been left off the program which called for early federal aid, and this, of course, was unsatisfactory and very disagreeable news to those living in the commu- nifty where these road projects are oiNuelhCos nave ItCelNeQ QulIe number of requests to do what l could to see that these roads were in cluded in the program with those listed for early construction, and that Is what l am doing here.

Chairman Rogers of the Alabama highway commission and talked the matter over several days ago. have assured him that would co-operate with him and his depart ment in getting this matter satis factorily settled.

Vassar President Thinks Girls Will Work Out Their Own
 Salvation
By JAMES MCLEAN (Leased Wire To The Age-Herald)


 CHICAGO, Nov. 17.--Bare knees are a fine thing in certain fields of feminine athletics, but at other times the extent to which that dimpled member of the college girls anatomy is exposed is no business of the college president.
 Vassar girls need not be so careful when near pr. Henry M MacCrack- en, president of their college, for that's the way he feels about it. He told interviewers so in Chicago.
 pr. MacCracken Is not worried about co-ed morals either. The Vassar self-governing board solved that problem for him years ago, and now if any of them "try to put one ever" it Is their own lookout, Sure ly he should not lose any sleep pa mitories shifting for fumes of a perfumed cigarette. If girl can sneak a drag or two from a pill now and then, Dr. MacCracken intimated that that also is none of his busi- ness.
 Girls Against Smoking.
 Our girls voted to make it pun ishable offense for any of their number to violate their non-smoking cosle," the Vassar president said, This action was not prompted by cuI-anQ- Q-QTlcu luoIdl pA ilSi iplSSs Dut rather to maintain their college as a national institution. Our girls come from all sections of the country, and in some of them smoking is looked upon with more social favor than in others"
 Dr. MacCracken doesn't believe, however, that there are wholesale violations of the anti-smoking rule among Vassar girls.
 "A few weeks ago the daughter of an official of the Edison company was suspended for two weeks for breaking the smoking rule, and she

AUGUSTE LEAPS IN VAIN
Partsian Twice Jumps From Sixth Story Window To Die, But Uninjured


 Auguste Feutrier, who lives in the quaint old Paris street called the Rue de PArbre-Sec. seems to bear a charmed life. Twice in one day he threw himself from & sixth story window, and the only harm he sus- tained was a scratch on his knee.
 He made his first experiment by dropping on the roof of an outhouse. The roof suffered considerably, but not Auguste. He went through 1t and landed comfortably on the ground. The concierge's shrieks brought two policemen. who picked tho man up and discovered, to their great surprise, that he was perfectly whole. They advised him not to do this kind of thing again, and he walked upstairs unaided to his gar ret.
 The neighbors concluded that the incident was closed. An hour later Auguste jumped out again. made an- other hole in the outhouse roof and took 6 piece of skin off his knee. This time the police took him to the station. and he was sent to the in- firmary.--Continenta Edition of the London Mail
