IF We We're Faultless

II we were faultless, we should not
be 80 much annoyed by the defects OF

MUSCLE SHOALS
POWER Goes
BEGGING
Presidents Commission Is
Considering Plans for
Disposal

The Presidents Muscle Shoals
commission met today to draft
definite recommendation for dis
posing of the Governments huge
power and nitrate plant.
Inability of the Government to
dispose OF surplus power generated
at the plant was one OF the first
questions the commission tackled.
Surplus power has gone begging
because Southern power companies
have shown no disposition to bid
for it, according to reports to the
commission. The result has been
decided loss Of revenue to the
Government, said Chairman Nc
Kenzie.
To meet this situation, Mackenzie
suggested Governmental operation
of the plant and direct sale Of the
power. This would require COM
struction of transmission lines and
other distributing equipment.
The commission considered today
reports from its membership re-
sulting from individual study Of
different phases OF the Muscle
Shoals problems It has recon-
nlended to tho War Department
that no term leases be given on
any part Of the plant until general
Recommendations for disposal or use
OF all the plant can be made to
the President and Congress-. This
is expected to be ready before the
orening of Congress in December.

Emigration not only Of skilled
workmen but Of entire industries

worry to the German government.
Figures disclosed that for the
first six months Of the year emigra-

period OF 1924.
The principal portion OF einigrar
ton was Of skilled labor. Estimates
fix the outward movement Of this
excellent element Of the population
at over zoe, 900 since 1922.
Contracts have been closed be-
tween several German corporations
and .the Bethlehem Steel Company
and Dupont interests, for the
transfer of entire German industries
to United States, officials said.
The Bethlehem Company virtually
will finance branch Of the Ger.
man Mortonenwerk Mannheim,
which Is to manufacture motors in
United States under the German
patents and with the entire per-
sonnet of the home works.
Al similar arrangements has been
made by another company with the

Will Include His Own Composition In
 Program

The announcement that Charles Leech Gulick, Americas Concert Or ganist, has been engaged to give a recital at the First Congregational church of Pomfret Center on Thurs day evening. June 1. at S.l5 o'clock. has been received with great enthusi- asm by all music lovers who recall his former appearance here last October Since then Mir. Gulick has toured all parts of this country and has played the largest organs in leading AmeTi- can cities to capacity audiences. Crit ics everywhere have received his work as that of master organist. In Cort- land, New York. the Standard of that city wrote: He produced eombina- tions and effects not heretofore heard from any of the great organists who have been secured here since the new organ was installed" And the Woes ter. Ohio. Daily Record. in an extended review by Dr. Chalmers Martin of the Wooster College faculty, said: He Is conspicuous in that quality without which other admirable artistic endow- ments are largely wasted-clarity. Beside, he has speed. delieacy of touch rising on occasion to fairy hghtness ana flNH anu NAfAtu tNAbfs
 His Own Composition
 Mir. Gulick will include in his pro gram his own new "Nuptial March. , which he is playing on this tour for the first time. It was composed for a recent New York society wedding and is a very brilliant and attractive work. He will also give the sonata by Dudley Buck. which is based on Hail Colum- bia," and Cadmans Land of the Sky Blue Water" with other short and popular numbers.
 Mir. Gulick is an organist of the peo- pie He plays only compositions that will be understood and enjoyed by the average nearer. It is this that makes his recitals SO different from those us ually given on the organ. And the Coshoeton, Ohio, Tribune. says: He played to eight hundred and not one was disappointed.
 Concluding Active Season
 Mir. Gulick is ending what is prob ably the most active season of any concert organist before the American public with a tour of New England Last Sunday evening he finished two W eks of recitals in Maine with a con- cert in the Pine Street Congregational church of Lewiston. The organ there is large Hook and Hastings, the same make as the instrument in the pomfret church In Maine. as in the west and south, people came from points twenty miles distant to hear hsm He will undoubtedly attract similarly in this his only remaining Connecticut recital this season.

'KLONDIKE" RAILROAD
 TOWER OPERATING
Switching Being Done In North End of Putnam Railroad
 Yard
Drastic Change In Handling Trains
 In and Out

There are two switch towers now operating In tae Putnam railroad yard and there has been a drastic change in the manner of handling trains in and out of the north end of this city.
 The new tower, recently put tn op- eration by the New Haven road. Is just south of Mechanicsville and is known as the "klondike" tower. Where the name "klondike" comes from Is not known but for years a Putnam yard has gone under this name.
 The new tower has changed the handling of trains so that all trains in and out of the city now pass north and south between the Putnam rail road station and the klondike tower on the main line tracks of the Mid. land division.
 Uses Midland Division
 Heretofore a train for Worces- ter leaving Putnam station would cross the tracks of the Midland divi. sion near the freight depot and would continue north on a single track line toward Worcester Instead of making AitE NiAnN8Nfi HaN Afif W NA NAANNAtt AIdAti comes onto the east bound track of the Midland division near the freight depot. runs north until the klondike tower is reached, and is then switche | over to the single line track Co Wog- eester.
 Trains coming into Putnam frori the north proceed the same way. The Worcester train is switched on Co the west bound track of the Midland divi- sion at the klondike tower and leaves that track and again enters upon its own track near the freight depot.
 It IS at once apparent that when a train from Worcester and another from Boston reach a point near the klondike tower at about the same time one of the trains is held up until the other passes over the line and then the other follows This same procedure is necessary in trains leav- ing the Putnam railroad station for Worcester and Boston
 Three Trick Tower
 Frank \ plebee is the first trick operator at the new tower. He was formerly Tt the tower near Froai street bridge on a night trick Nor. man Ash of Pomfret has one of tho other tricks and an operator nam cd Flannigan from Shrewsbury ha' the third trick. The tower has mol been in operation lone enough Co de termine whether it will work out sa. tisfaetorilv but the operations have of course all been planned by rail. road traffic men in advance and will doubtless bring about the desired re. suit The vaeating of the Worcester track gives the Putnam yard an ad ditianal side track.
