Bidder Says Cheap Power Gives
Promise of Revolutionizing
Transportation.

Production of a metal which, it's
sponsor claims, would "revolutionize
transportation" is one of the features
OF the Hooker White -Atterbury pro-
posal for operation of Muscle Shoals,
IL developed at yesterdays hearing
of the Senate agricultural committee.
W. W. Atterbury, vice president in
charge of operations Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and one of the principals
In the bid, said the cheap power avail
able at Muscle Shoals would virtually
assure the production of this metal,
which is made from an alloy of alumni
um and magnesium.
The chief merits of the metal, At
terbury said, are that it is a strong,
light metal which could be used as a
substitute for steel in railroad cars
and would permit the carrying of
heavier freight and passenger cargo.
The metal was used in German yep
pelins during the war he explained.
J. G. White. one of the three bid
ders, said their proposal would as
sure the production of fertilizer for
the farmers at a lower cost than
corporation would be free from poll.
tics and would encourage Initiative.
Francis r. Weller, a consulting ems
sineer of this city, said the Hooker
bid was the only proposal that would
return to the government at the end
OF the lease period all of the funds
expended at Muscle Shoals, and that
the Ford bid was "indefensible from

STATE MAY GET
BIG SANATORIUM.
FOR TLJBERCIlARS
Drive Is Forecast At First
Days Meeting OF
Workers Here

IA $1,000, 900 tuberculosis sanatorium
for Alabama was forecast at the nrst
session Of the taree-day joint confer.
ence of the Southern Sanatorium asso-
citation and the Southern Conference
Of Tuberculosis Workers, which opened
Thursday at the Tutwiler hotel. "a
A statewide drive is to be made to
secure public sentiment in favor OF the
move, according to announcement OF
Mrs. III. e. Pearce, president OF the Ala
bama Tuberculosis association, and the
next legislature is to be asked to APP
propriate the necessary funds, it was
stated. +
In this connection, Mrs. Pearce as
serted that enough votes had been Sc
cured in the last state legislature to
make the sanatorium possible without
publicity, but that lack of funds pre-
vented the legislature from appropria-
ting the money. Alabama is said to be
the only southern state which does not
have a sanatorium for tubercular\ pa
tients.
The project is to be discussed at the
Friday afternoon session by DIR. Henry
Boswell, head of the Mississippi sana-
torium at Sanatorium, Miss. This hos
pital recently was completed by the
state at an expenditure of $1,5OO,OOe.
DIR. Boswell said Thursday that he is
a native Albanian and for that rea-
son Is interested in helping the state
fight the white plague"
In discussing the project, Benz Price,
Birmingham architect and active work
er for the association, stated: 1.-The tu-
berculOsiS association is not intending
nor wants to interfere in any way with
the officials in public health service
Rather, we want to cooperate and as
sist them. Figures published recently
show that concerted action In the
United States has reduced the death
rate from tuberculosis from 2OS to 30
per 1000 inhabitants"
Ideas Interchanged
The first session of the conference,
held at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon,
was a round table discussion and inter-
change of ideas of workers in various
parts Of the southern district, on ways
and means of selling seals. B. Fl.
Clark, field director Of the Alabama
tuberculosis association, presided, and
short talks were made on various
methods of selling seals, by which the
society raises funds to Ight the raw
ages Of the disease, by Mrs. j. p. Hall
Of Gadsden, DR.. Ralph Barnes, ]. p.
Kranz of Nashville, and several other
prominent workers. The idea was adj
vaneed that the community chest plan
should include this work.

To Protect Earnings
The plan calls for the obtaining OF a

Selected For ZR-3
By Secretary Wilbur
Ship To Be Symbol Of Good Will Between Ma
tons, Says Navy Chief-Dr. Eckener Predicts
Transatlantic Commercial Air Lines With
Larger Dirigibles Than The Present Type

tor had been developed using a less
volatile fuel than gasoline.
Until the new motive unit was de-
veloped the Zeppelin head said, it would
be better to confine commercial opera
ton of dirigibles to special lines such
as mail transportation in order that
public support may not be alienated by
some catastrophe"
A member of the council asked
whether it was possible to operate
safely ships inflated with hydrogen.
Need Trained Crews
Only with carefully trained crews"
DIR. Eckener replied, land as the in
dustry grows this becomes increasingly
difficult"
An essential. he declared, would be
gas bags of extremely low permeability
since, otherwise, leaks would occur
which might cause an explosion through
mere contact with an electrical cloud.
Illustrating the difficulty met in Ger
many, he said that during the war it
was not uncommon to find cigarette
butts lying on deck of Zeppelin which
was filled with highly explosive gas.
The Zeppelin company's experts were
reported to have already prepared plans
for a ship of 100000 cubic feet ca
pacity or more than 30 per cent larger
than the ZR-3. A speed of five me-
ters a second more than afforded by
the new Lakehurst cruiser also was
recommended by these technicians, DIR.
Eckener said, adding that his company
did not believe routes of 5000 kilo-
meters would show profit in CONNER
cial use. The United States is one of
the few, if not the only country, which
contains such distances within her own
limits, he said. For instance, the New
York-Angeles run would be no more
than the minimum distance we think re-
nnired "
