Proponents of Bill to
Have Congressional Group
Sell Muscle Shoals, Gain

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The first
skirmish at this session of the senate
of the Muscle Shoals issue was won
today by proponents of the concur
rent resolution authorizing a joint
congressional committee to negotiate
bids for the property and report to
congress.
Chairman Norris of the senate ag-
riculture committee, who left a sick
bed to lead the opposition, failed in
an attempt to quash the resolution
by a point of order. Vice President
Dawes ruled against it and his ruling
was sustained by a vote of 55 to Is
on am appeal
Senator Heflin, democrat, Alabama,
pleaded with the senate to adopt the
resolution without amendment.
After his address two amendments
were offered. One by Senator
George, democrat, Georgia, would
have all of the power not needed for
the manufacture of fertilizer dis
tributed to nearby states with the
understanding that it could be re-
called if it should be needed The
other by Senator McNary, republi-
can, oregon, would pfoeuen IHe pow
er of the proposed joint committee
to negotiate bids for the Muscle
Shoals outside of the terms of the
resolution after the first negotiations
failed.
The point of order was made on
the grounds that it's adoption would
violate the original Muscle Shoals
law which was drafted by Senator
Smith, democrat, South Carolina.

Coolidge served notice today on
Chairman, Butler of the house nava1
committee that he believes the $685.

for the naval air service calls for
too large a peace time expenditure.
Butler was summoned to the White

ported to carry out this program.
Later Butler declined to discuss his
conference with the president or to
say whether the measure would be
amended to meet the executives de-

ever, that the committee chairman is
determined to have the house con-

This is the third of series of
educational debates on furs, their
wear and their purchase, and
prompted by the fact that the pub
lie has been misled or misinter-
preted, advertising or the chatter
Of INSCRIPTIONS people, eager
to sell but unaware of their ignor-
ance on furs. Yet, intending to
be live-wire statesmen, they never
hesitate to misrepresent to stimu-
late sales, still unaware Of the
fact that this practice is harmipg
themselves, their institutions and
the trade in general.
Not the number Of sales, but the
number of good sales, is what slim
ulates business. ! understand by
a good sale, sale by which give

also will tell her truthfully Of what
the fur used in the manufacture of

you that Sealine, sold under fancy
trade-names like Northern Seal.
Bay Seal, Laskin Seal, Belgian
Seal, etc., is dyed New iceland
rabbit skin. Why, q rabbit skin
cannot be any good-this is the
first objection. Yes, ma'am,
New iceland rabbit skin is good
popular priced fur skin. The only
difference between a New iceland
rabbit and a Bolivian chincilla is
that the supply and demand regu-
late the price, and that chincilla
costs more than one hundred times
the price of rabbit and being only
half it's size, however, the rabbit
will give you satisfactory wear
where the chincilla does not wear
at all.
Another seal which has not so
many fancy names is the Hudson
Seal. Yes, the only genuine Hud-
son seal in existence is, or at least
should be, q northern plucked and
dyed muskrat. ! depl0re that the
market is actually swamped with
central, yes, with southern plucked
and dyed muskrats and these are
being advertised nationally and
sold as Hudson seal or special Hud-
