Un- der Section 61 there appears to be a right of rehearing given to the public although contention has been made that this section does not apply to orders fixing valuation.

Distresses RepubIIcans

The prospect of Ford offering his services to the country is less dis tressing to democrats than republi- cans. It is believed here that Ford will follow his example, set when he wanted to come to the Senate from Aichga that is, ask for the nomina- ton in both the republican and demo- cratic conventions.
 If that belief is proved correct, Ford would run as the candidate of the party which nominated him. In the event that neither nominated him. he would run az an independer t, according to what is said here. As an independent candidate. democrats contend that Ford could not cut into the solid south. but would play havoc with the republican strength in the states of the northwest. The result would be. democrats contend, the election of democrat as President.
 This probability is not denied by republican leaders when they talk with the understanding that they will not be quoted
 In initiating the boom, Ford s neighbors declared that the problem m before the country is not political but business, and that a business rather than a politician. must solve it.
 This announcement would indicate, it Is said, that Ford cares nothing for either party.

With Army Appropriations Bill Out of Way, Almon Will Demand Members
 Take Action
WASHINGTON BUREAU |
 THE AGE-HERALD Washington. D. C., Jan. 10

The appropriations committee ot the House will report the army ap- propriation bill by the beginning of next week, it is understood. The bill will be rapidly passed, according to indications.
 Thereafter, the House will have to exert it's ingenuity to find some thing with which to interest itself.
 Democrats declare that then the republican leaders will have no ex- cuse longer to deny vote on the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals. The democratic vote of the House is apparently united for the Ford offer. That vote will en- deavor to force the republicans into action.
 To Demand Action
 Representative E. B. Almon of the Eighth Alabama district, wherein Muscle Shoals is located. promises today to discuss the Ford offer with the object of getting it before the House as the unfinished business when the House debates the army appropriation approximating s7,500,- 900 with which to continue the con struction of Wilson Fam from July ], 1923, to July l, 1924
 While the House disposes of this Muscle Shoals item Mir lmoD will bring to the attention of the body it's neglect of a proposition having for it's object the final disposition of the governments $l05'000.000 property at Muscle Shoals.
 Senate May Delay
 MT. Almon anticipates that the re- publicans, as reasons for desiring further to delay consideration of the Ford proposal, will cite, among other things. the improbability that, even should the House act, the Senate could find an opportunity to act be- fore the end of the session. The conclusion of the session without completed action would render null the action that the House might have taken.
 MT Almon and his colleagues from southern staees agree with him) will inform the House that no contingency should prompt the House to neglect it's own duty and ignore it's own ob- ligation The indication is that the power of Henry Ford advocates to force action on House entirely idle

LONDON, Jan. 1O.-The next queer of England will be a 22-year-old Scottish maid-and that's all there is about it, London now asserts.
 Despite diplomatic denials' given out at York house. the residence of the Prince of Wales, heir to the throne of Great Britain, London knows it's royalty and stubbornly clings to the belief that the next queen will be called Queen Elizabeth.
 For the crown prince to marry Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, daugh- ter of the Earl of Strathmore, would set precedent and indicate better than anything else could the demo- cratizing influence of the present times on royalty-she will become the first woman not of royal blood to ascend the British throne.
 However, the match would be emil nently desirable both from the stand

point of the attractive qualities of the young woman, and the fact that she is "home girl" Of the princes own religion.
 For Edward, to marry Elizabeth would be like any youth marrying the girl next door'-they grew up together, played together as children; Elizabeth is an intimate personal friend of his sister. Princess Mary. and was one of her bridesmaids at her marriage to Lord Lascelles.
 Talk of his marriage to a foreign princess-Yolanda of Italy, a Catholic met with the usual condemnation from the home folks" and if Lady Elizaseth is really the princes choice all England will breathe the same sigh of relief as any parent when the Young Hopeful settles down and proposes to the girl of their choice.
