reply to the PREPARATION commission S
invitation for German representa-

The German reply is an uncondi-

as basis for negotiations looking

The French people are beginning
to figure what this country may ex'

Some profess to find that a settle

give France total payments, at pres

FORD BID ATTACKED
At PUBLIC OPENING
OF SHOALS HEARING

WASHINGTON, April 16.-At the
opening today of public hearings by
the senate agriculture committee on
| Muscle Shoals, Representative Bur
ton, Republican, Ohio. issued a state
ment opposing the Ford bid.
Describing the Ford proposal as an
unprecedented monopoly" Mr.. Bur
ton declared he had never heard Of
la proposition in which a. privilege
was granted to an individual or cor
poration which was so free from re-
| striction. so broad and comprehend
sive. so strong in the interest of the
grantee as this Ford proposal"
The r-White-Atterbury pro-
posal, included in the Wadsworth
bill, was the first bid called for con-
| sideration.
The Hooker bid provides for lease
Of the Muscle Shoals properties for
fifty years by the government on a

E. H, Hooker, president OF the

Hooker said he had been interest.

said.

A
Dancing, Card-PIaying and
Liquor-Drinking Banned
ar-Round-No Students
Accepted Who Can Pay Fee
SULPHUR SPRINGS, Ark, Apri

SULPHUR SPRINGS, Ark, April
ia university in winter
A health resort in summer
"Jazzless'' the whole year round.
That's the future John E. Brown
evangelist and college president, has
mapped out for this Ozark mountain
town
And since he's bought up three
fourths of it, Brown certainly is in
a position to dictate how things
ought to be run in Sulphur Springs.
IN the deal, Brown acquired three
hotels, parks, lakes and springs,
business property and residence
sites.
Brown, founder and head Of John
E. Brown college at Sloan Springs,
near here, will move the university
here.
The hotels will provide dormitory
and class room facilities. In sum-
mer, they will house tourists.
But summer or winter, jazz will
be taboo. No dancing, no card play
ing, no drinking will be tolerated.
There will be band concerts, golf
ing, tennis, swimming, fishing and
horseback riding.
The school, while interdenOmina-
tional and non-sectarian, stands I'M
compromisingly committed to the
Bible. All students are required to
study it.
None will be permitted to matricu-
late who can afford to pay even a
part of the tuition costs. It's en-
tirely for poor boys and girls.
All students work a few hours
each day-some in the printshOp,
some on the farms, some in the
kitchen, some in the tailor shops.
The university tulfills an ambition
of Browns early manhood-to give
deserving boys and girls opportunity
to gain the education ne, himself,
was denied
A score of years ago Brown work
ed in a limestone quarry at seventy
five cents day. He professed re-
HSion during a Salvation Army re-
VlVal.
When the evangelists left he was
commissioned to open a mission
Since then he's conducted meetings
all over this section.
But all the time he's never lost
sight of his early dreams.
