YOUNG BICYCLISTS
WILL SHOW SKILL
BY RIDING PLANK
Will Be One of Features
For Bike Field Day to
Be Held Here Saturday

Walking the plank popular
game enjoyed by Captain Kidd and
other pirates Of his time, will be re-
placed by riding the plank at the
Wilson school grounds Saturday
morning, when J. Howard Rodda,
representative Of the Cycle Trades
Of America will conduct bicycle
field day entry to which is open to
any youngster in the city who has a
bicycle.
A plank $50 feet long, six inches
wide and one inch high will be pro-
v;ded and all bike riders will be
given an opportunity to ride It. This
is only one of the many features
which Rodda will introduce to prove
that the bicycle has many important
uses and that it is coming back
strong.
To Hold Bike Parade
Folks who can remember back, to
the early :nineties when bicycle
riding was the popular craze of the
day. are going to be visited with
flock of memories when they see FL
Centro's bicycle parade Saturday.
Rodda is offering nearly 40 prizes
for decorated bicycles and every
youngster in FL Centre is going 10
do his utmost to win a prize.
The parade will start at Fourth
and Broadway at 10 o clock sharp
and will end at the Wilson school.
A police escort will be furnished
through the courtesy of Chief
Barker, to see that the Youngsters
DO not run any risks in going
through down town traffic.
Safety First Slogan
"Safetv First, is the slogan
that Rodda breaches to the bicyel-
lists. Many autoists complain that
riding bicycle in these days is
dangerous to the rider and to the
automobile driver. Rodda will dem
onstrate Saturday that the bicvrle
can be ridden even in heavy traffic
with safety to the rider and with
out causing the autoist any ineon
vonience.
Indications are that there will be
more bicycles on the streets of FL
Centre Saturday than have been
seen here within the memory of tho
Coolest nhabitant.
"The bike was ridden for health
and pleasure back in the nineties, y
argues Rodda, $50 why shouldn t II

By PAUL r. MALLON

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March s. The
administration plan to lease Mus
Gle Shoals to private interests for
fifty years was attacked on the
senate floor this afternoon by Sen
ator Bob IaFollette, of Wiscon-
sin as "a surrender to the water
power trust.
The youthful senator asserted
that, carried into effect, it would go
down into history beside the
stealing and wrongful disposal of
our public domain.'' He warned
his older colleagues that an ava
lamche of popular disapproval
awaited them should they adopt the
pcnding resolution. providing for
lease negotiations.
Urges Government Operation
he pleaded for government OPP
uation of the $l50,OO0,000 govern
ment built Muscle Shoals power
plant and declared that the govern
ment had already accomplished the
most difficult part of putting the
plant in operation.
La Toilette insisted that Muscle
Shoals was essentially a power prof.
cct and that the ''cheap fertilizer
for farmers argument was merely
a blind. "behind which politicians
and power interests concealed their
opposition to government opera
tion. -
Discussing the argument that the
government would not be able to
operate the plant efficiently, he
said:
"Public initiative has already
accomplished or is working on the
most difficult parts of the Muscle
Shoals project, the imaginative
conception, the intricate task of
construction. The operation of the
rlant will be simple. Therefore.
about the only field now left for
private initiative is the marketing
and manipulation of stocks and
bonds, the Juggling of corporate ac-
counts and the cashing in on prof
its Of operation CT of stock market
lieging.'
The Young senator pointed ont
that the Coolidge administration
favors a bin for public ownership
and operation of great power dam
Mt Boulder canyon in the Colorado
river, declaring that public senti-
ment in the west is forcing such
operation. He cited the recent Los
angeles city elections as evidence
Of the "thunder heard by the adj
in this direction.
