MUSCLE SHOALS
ISSUE AGAIN UP
TO CONGRESS

Washington.-Fina disposition of
Muscle Shoals will be hotly contested
in this congress. At the last session
the senate rejected Senator Under
woods plan to turn this water power
over to private concerns that were
associated, it was charged, with the
General Electric Company and the
Morgan interests. The senate Great
ed a commission to study the question.
That commission is divided, and the
two reports are in the hands of the
president. 1t is said that the major
ity report includes the general prin-
ciples of Senator Underwood's plan,
while the minority recommends leas-
ing. the property to private operators
if suitable terms can be obtained.
If this can not be done, government
operation to demonstrate the possibil-
tiles of the property is favored.

THE ONLY THING
sy DOUGLAS MALLocH

MAN need not with his mind dis
Ava pute
Nor with his heart debate;
The Lor,, has laid him out his route.
And laid 1t pretty straight.
It's oftener rather hard to see
Which road the pleasantest will be.
But ev'ry fellow knows at sight
Which road. of all life's roads, 10
right
What else need anybody knowf
And what Is there to talk?
We know the road we ought to go,
The path we ought to walk;
And though we hem and though we
haw,
And wisely talk about ''the law"
Man needs no lawyer to decide.
With his own conscience for his
guide.
We may not know which path will pay
The largest pay in gold;
Not always it's the narrow way,
Or so have been told.
But what has that to do with lt?--
Although we hesitate bit,
In our own hearts, and all along.
We know the right road from the
/, wrong.
One road has pleasure all the way.
And some are rock and fire.
And some q recompense will pay
Midas might desire.
But, though we sometimes hesitate,
And with our conscience would debate
We know the right. both and you
| And that's the only thing to do.

u)HO SAID
"Au IL Lost
Sove Honor"

T~HESE words are attributed to
! Francis /, King OF France, when he
learned that his armies had been de-
feated by those of Emperor Charles
OF Austria, and that he would be
forced TO forfeit large part OF his
dominions
4 Francis i was born in 1404 and died
In 1547 He ascended the French
throne In 1915, having succeeded his
uncle, Louis XII He laid claim to the
city of Milan. and in enforcing his
claim, defeated the Swiss on the plains
OF Marignano and forced the reigning
duke. MaximiIian Sforxa, to ackn0wl'
edge his claims.
In the year 1919, Francis became one
Of the competitors for the empire OF
MACMILLAN but the choice fell on
Charles OF Austria, the grandson OF
Macmillan, and from that time on the
two monarchs were bitter rivals.
Charles assumed the title Of Charles
V, and his armies and those Of Francis
were continually warning. Both
sought the aid Of England and the sup
port of the English government was,
u. different times. with Francis and
then with Charles
Ii was with the idea OF cementing
the friendship existing between him
and the king Of England that Francis
invited the English monarch, Henry
VIII, TO an interview which took place
near Calais. Francis spared no ex-
pense TO see that this affair was the
most magnificent that had been staged
and money was spent so lavishly In ar
ranging the details OF the meeting that
the place where, 1t was held has been
referred to as the Field of the Cloth
IT Gold"
In the year 1927. war broke out be-
rween Francis and Charles and Francis
was finally taken prisoner. He was
granted his release only on condition
that he renounce his claim to some of
his greatest possessions. A later war
in which England sided with Francis
prevented the carrying out Of these
demands OF Charles, but soon after this
Francis found himself engaged In an
other war In which the fickle king of
England sided with Charles. Peace
was concluded at Crespy, very for
tunately for the worn-out armies of The
French monarch.
