Automobile tourists and campers are
increasing so rapidly in United States
that authorities asked the drug manu-
facturers to make serum for snake
bite and distribute 1t widely. They
refused because the mortality from
snake bites in this country is so small

serum in North America is fifty walls

it to points Of greatest need.

n He real issue in this Ford Mus
Gle Shoals matter is the estab-
lished policy of the United
States relating to water power, par
ticularly as embodied in the water
power act of 1920.
This Federal water power act was
the result of a long fight by advocates
Of conservation. President Roosevelt
initiated the idea. President Taft pro-
NOTED it and President Wilson. with
the cooperation Of Secretary Baker
and others, saw II through The
statute had the most careful cOnsid-
GRAFTON Of three Administrations The
Ford offer either violates or ignores
almost every provision of this act.
1t is urged if the Ford corporation
gets Muscle Shoals it will greatly slim
ulate the industrial development of
the South. If this were true, I would
be the last to oppose the contract. If
Mr.. Ford were willing TO submit TO
the provisions of the Federal water
power act, then this might he the
result As 1t is, I honestly believe it
will have exactly the contrary effect
and viii only result in tremendous in
dustrial activity in northern Alabama,
due to the Ford enterprises which
will be built around the second larg-
est block of cheap power on the Amer
lean continent.

WIZ Not Sell Power

Mr.. Mayo, engineer for Mr.. Ford.
testified they do not propose to sell
a single kilowatt Of power. This
means that a Pull realization Of the
hope of the South Of becoming a re-
gion of modernized farms and a great
industrial section as well as cot
ton growing section win never be
brought about. Mississippi, Tennes
see. Georgia. Alabama and North and
South Carolina all need additional
power and the only way they can get
1t is by having Muscle Shoals avail
able as part Of a great interconnected
power system.
The labor situation In the South is
not any too good as II is Mr.. Ford
enterprises will attract labor from all
tho neighboring States. and while this
may be. as l say, a good thing for
northern Alabama, It is going 10 ham
per seriously the Industrial develop
ment Of the neighboring States.
Nothing will be gained in the South
by developing a brand new set OF in
dustrial enterprises at the expense OF
existing enterprises.

The dancing team Of Marqne and

presentation of the "The Great

night gave several pleasing dances
which were more or less acrobatic.
They received considerable applause.
The film which depicted thc life

ing. MANY scenes are undoubtedly
laid in the various offices and de-
partments of the Hearst publica-
tion in New York. Many promin-
ents whose names are associated
with the cartoons and sport features
of that newspaper are inductcd in
to the story for the obvious reason
Of Introducing them TO the pubiic.
That thev are mN necessary to the
continuity of the story is the least
that can be said
Anita Stewart is charming in her
role as the dancer around whom
the plot revolves, and Oscar Shaw
as the pugilist is convincing in his
portrayal of Joe Cain the gentleman
prize fighter. T. Roy Barnes makes
an unusual press-agent and provides
most of the laughs. There is plenty
of action including horse racing, a
good fight and a big fire. Doubt
less much money was spent upon
the production for the elaborate
costuming and settings.
The usual finish that legitimate
motion picture productions have is
missing to a marked degree, due no
doubt to the many amateurs in the
Tremendous east as the celebrities
appear, make their polite bow and
disappear.
The average person will find much
entertainment and enjoyment in
viewing the production. 1t will be
shown tonight and tomorrow night
at the Palace and the dancing team
will appear at the Valley theater
both nights for their act.
