FORD WOULD GET
 STAGGERING GIFT
Nearly SS4,000,000 Worth of
 Property for S5,00O,000
SUBMIT MINORITY REPORT
Military Committee Members Empha- tically Oppose Granting Of Muscle Shoals Development To "I1ivyer King"

Washington, Feb. 9.-The Mckenzie bill authorizing acceptance of Henry ford's offer for the governments wartime project at Muscle Shoals, Ala. is emphatically opposed in a minority report submitted today by members of the house military com ~mittee.
 Comparing the Ford offer with that Of the southern power companies but without specifically endorsing any of the four proposals which have been made for operation of the Muscle Shoals plants. the report declares that acceptance of the Detroit manufac- turer's bid would amount "to a gift of enormous property and industrial advantage to private citizen from the resources of the United States" l The power companies proposal. as compared with the Ford bid, it says, offers savings to the government" amounting to $34.21s,0o0 for fifty years and s75.66o, ,000 for 100 years.
 Representative Hull, republican. Iowa, who consistently has opposed the Ford offer, presented the minority report. in which he was joined by Representatives Morin and Ransley, Pennsylvania: Hill. Maryland; Froth- ingham, Massachusetts; and Wain- wright, New York. all republicans.
 Ford Has Loophole
 The report criticises the majority for attempting to justify the viola ton by the Ford offer of every safe guard and principle of the federal waterpower act" and declares that the Mckenzie bill gives MT. Ford a ''loop hole" to "quit" the manufacture of fertilizer if it should not prove pro- fitable, Furthermore it contends mo one is in a position to know from any statement of Mir. Ford, or any ac- credited representative. whether he would accept the properties on the terms offered him in the pending bill."
 Asserting that under the bill as recommended by the majority Mir. Ford's company would not be regu- lated as to rates, service. or issuance of securities by the federal govern ment or the ,laf aria public service commission" the report states that ''Mr. Ford proposes to pay so,ooo.o0o for the following properties; Nitrate plant No. 2, costing s66,s52.392.2i; nitrate plant No. |. costing s12.SS7,- s4s.3i: Waco quarry. costing si,So?.- see.ss, and cashing from the sale of the Gorgas plant s3.472,4s7.25--a to- tai of sS3,e15.7Ss.s5.'
 Controls 100000 Horsepower
 "The gift of property is staggering" 1t declares. but that Is not all or nearly all. No individual nor corpor- ation in the United states has the un- regulated control of 9o0,0o0 horse- power.s or anything remotely ap- proaclifng that figure"
 Any of the other proposals sub- mitted is better than the Ford offer, the minority holds, adding that the "poverty' of financial return to the government under his offer compared with the benefits he demands has led his supporters and apologists to strange arithmetical gymnastics"

FL0URLESS BREAD MADE.
Process of Baking From Wheat
Saves Intermediate Exnanse

1t sounds strange to talk of bread be-
ing made without flour, but a new
system has recently been introduced
on the Continent by which bread is
made direct from wheat
The operation is performed in three
stages. First of all, the wheat is
washed with running water in order
to remove all dust and impurities. At
ter this, it is allowed to soak in pure
warm water in which there is a small
quantity of sea-salt. When it has be-
come sufficiently soft, the grain is ready
for the third and last operation, which
consists of passing it through a special
apparatus fitted with revolving cylin-
derS. This machine presses the soft
grain into pulpy paste. Yeast is then
added to this paste and worked UP into
dough in the usual way The dough is
allowed to rise, and finally baked.
Bread made by this operation has an
excellent taste, and is said to be more
easily digested and to contain a higher
percentage of vitamines than any other
Further, a saving of 20 per cent of
wheat is effected, and there is consid
cradle economy of time. Saving in
storage accommodation is another ad-
vantage claimed for fiourless bread.

TRAVELLING IN AFRICA
IS SLOW PROCESS
Only Possible Transport Is Human

like Speed,

All over central Africa the tsetse
fly renders pack animals of any kind
an impossible dream: except for a
very few, though increasing, arteries
motor roads are unknown; and SO
when one travels, one travels on
ones feet, and ones baggage goes
on the heads of porterS.
Various paternal governments have
laid down that these loads shall not
exceed so pounds in weight, and one
of the things ta remember about CEN
trail African travel-"safari," as it is
called-is that ones boxes should be
of such size that when filled with
ordinary things they will turn the
scale at about that weight.
Another thing to remember is never
to be in a hurry. The African porter
is sure, but he is amazingly slow.
Three miles per hour is the accepted
pace and Is miles day about the limit
on a journey lasting any length of
time
To the man accustomed to be rush
ed the same distance in half an hour,
this may seem unutterably tedious !;
but it has it's ompensations-the e
start through the magical freshness
of an African dawn; the endless sue
cession of fascinating sights, here a
herd of hartebeeste or zebra gallop-
ing away in alarm, here a native
village with laughing, chattering,
women and solemn, naked children
gazing shyly at the white man; here
(great excitement) the fresh tracks
of elephants churning across the
track; the arrival in camp and the
pleasant comfort of a battered dock
chair while the cook prepares that
finest of meals-meat one has shot
ones self; the long dreamless nights
of perfect sleep.
And, above all, the African Is reli-
able; he does not go on a strike !;
but, being mercy a poor, ignorant
savage, serves his master with loyalty
and fidelity for the wages agreed
upon in the first instance.

People.
By the Associated Press.


PLODIV, Bulgaria, August 23.-The
prohibition movement is gaining
strength in Bulgaria. although this is
a wine growing and spirit-distilling
country.
The strength of the movement has
just been made evident here by the
holding of the annual meeting of the
four Associated Prohibition AssoCia-
tions.
Among the resolutions passed was n
call upon the government to put a
stop to ne-manufacturing, distilling
and the importation of liquors, and
also to submit the issue of prohibition
to referendums in all cities, towns
and villages.
A resolution was unanimously
passed demanding that Premier Tsan-
koff carry out his promise of last
March to submit the question of pro-
hibition to Parliament as govern

JOB-HOLDERS

Figures from authoritative sources
assert that nearly $4,000, 0O0,O 900 is
paid out in the United States every
year to public officials, active AMI

Thest figures are not surprising
when we know that nealy 100000
persons are on the public payroll.

Nearly one-half of the $8,500,-
100000 spent yearly by our govern

cials. Every taxpayer should under
stand that almost one-half of his
taxes go to support office-holders.
One of Mussolini's first acts was to
dismiss 100000 men from the public

party. Jobs are the currency in
which party debts are paid. And
this currency is at present inflated

THE WHEAT SITUATION IN
A NUTSHELL

Wheat growing has been subject Of
much controversy ever since the war
and, in fact, still continues to dominate
the agricultural situation. But, regard
less of what may happen to co-opera-
tive marketing enterprises or to the
movement for price sterilization or
anything else that may affect the finan-
ces of the wheat grower, wheat will
still be grown on large scale.
There is no denying the fact that
much wheat is grown at an actual loss
and that many wheat producers are in
great financial difficulty. Neither can
it be denied that the yields obtained ON
thousands of farmes are far too low,
that much inferior wheat is produced,
that much of the seed sown is of poor
quality, and that too many varieties are
grown. It is also true that important
factors in production, such as proper
preparation of the land and the use Of
fertilizers, receive far too little con-
bluCA dlAOhs
In the eastern winter belt, from Mis-
souri, and Iowa to Pennsylvania and
Maryland, wheat occupies an important
place in the rotation with corn, oats,
and clover. 1t is the only cash crop
grown on thousands of farms; it aids in
the seasonal distribution of labor and is
an excellent nurse" crop for clover.
Wheat producers in this territory have
an excellent opportunity to increase
yields and reduce production costs by
putting land that is poorly adapted to
wheat to other uses, by using only seed
of high yielding varieties, and treating
it to prevent disease, and by more
generous use of the right sort OF fert-
lizer. In this way, from 20 to 30 BUSH
els per acre can be grown instead OF
the 10 to 20 bushels that are grown at
present.

LAW RESPECT AT THE TOP

1.-THE (Prohibition) laws will not be
properly enforced until the judiciary
shall be purged of those members who
do not do their duty" says the Phila-
delphia Record commenting on the sit
uation in that city and complimenting
one judge who after the jury on a
liquor case had been celebrating four
hours, summoned the jurors before
him and asked those not believing in
enforcement to stand None stood.
The jury retired. Five minutes later
the jury returned with a verdict of
guilty.
Here is clearly case where the
cause of justice has been served and
saved by judge who suspicious Of a
jury submitted it to the acid test Of
civic duty and brought the jurors to
their senses as law abiding Americans.
Judges in other jurisdictions can be
just as effectively serving the cause Of
decency if they will. 1t would be
stupid to say that law enforcement by
prohibition agents is flawless and in all
cases above reproach, but the difficult
ties are fewer in number in that area
than in the provinces Of the judges and
the juries. That is not reflection on
those judges and juries who do their
duty, but it is an unanswerable indict-
ment against those who do not.
Jurors, no matter what their person
al views on prohibition may be, have
no option when evidence of violation is
brought before them than to convict.
Judges in charging these juries can
not emphasize this fact too strongly.
Further, judges, have no option in up
holding the law, no matter what their
personal views on the subject may be.
The custody of an orderly government
is largely in their hands and they
should not permit the tricks OF law
yers or the yacuous pleas of defendants
to defeat respect for law.
AS the Record well says respect for
law must begin at the top. - Harris
