txifle more than year age,
when George was just . young
fellow trying to get along, he held
earnest converse with Mr.. Hug
gins, as q result of which Urban
Shocker went to the Yankees.
Bush, Giard and CASTOR went to
the Browns and some of our de-
spondent citizens went to the
river. George got the newspaper
decision over Mr.. Higgins on this
occasion without dissenting vote.
That was his first big trade. His
second was swung a few weeks
ago when he sent Joe Bush and
Tom Zachary and Win Ballou.
This one may or may not turn out

a minor consideration.
The big point is that Sisler,
IN two deals, has taken title to
four pitchers for one. He merely
gave away Shocker and, darIins,

has CASTOR, Giard, Zachary and
Eailou, the latter being the only

though we are inclined to feel that
Bush may stage himself to a final
fling in 1926 before calling II q
career. When both were good,
Bush was better pitcher than
Zachary.
AS for Tobin. he was great
cdRfIeIder until last season when
his work fell away almost simulta
neously with the rise Of Harry
Rice In consequence. Tobin was
OF no particular value to the
Browns. This, by the way, has
been one Of the features Of Sisters
trading to date. He never gives
away q player until he can spare
him. Ehocker had outlasted his
welcome in st. Louis some time
before the Yankee deal transpired.
Tobin, like Bush, may have one
good year left In him. The
chances favor 1t because veterans
seem TO thrive under Stanley

That's right. We figured all
along that was taken for granted.
When we printed the three-secon6
record we meant that the fight
ITSELF lasted but three seconds.
The shortest fight the writer ever
saw was that thrilling encounter
between Dempsey and Fulton at
Harrison, N. j., when Fulton was
knocked insensible from an in
visible punch about three seconds
after the gong changed.
The bell rang, Fulton led, Demp-
sey then put his head down like
a bull and rushed the lanky plas-
terer to the ropes. Dempsey
jabbed a left and right to the
body and took a right swing at
the jaw and Fulton did beautiful
brodie, lying on the floor with
one leg up in the air like q. dead
horse, while Referee Johnny Eek
hardt stretched ten seconds all
out of shape, thinking Fulton
might show some signs of life.
He didn't and we all left the ball
park-wondering.

FIGHTS FOR REAL BUTTER
OIeomargarine Use in Kansas Stirs
Oranges to Vigorous Protest

In Kansas the State Grange is put
ting up a vigorous fight against the
use of oleomargarine in state insti-
tutions, particularly those in which
large numbers of children are quar-
tered. Grange investigation recently
brought out the fact that the state is
purchasing large quantities Of oleo
for use in its institutions. nOtwith-
standing the fact that Kansas is a
large dairy state and that its dairy
men are having difficulty in market
ing their products at a fair living
price.
State Master Caldwell Davis has
recently put the case straight up to
the governor and to the state purch-
asing agent, setting forth the situa-
tion, not only from the standpoint of
the dairymen, but also as the menace
to the health of children from the ex-
tensive use of oleo. Subordinate and
Pomona Oranges throughout the state
will take up the same issue, follow
ing the leadership of the State
Grange, and it is expected that a live
" discussion will follow. The Grange
is thoroughly organized in Kansas, its
local units covering nearly every
county and made up of a membership
that is not afraid to fight for right
eous cause, as evidenced over and over
again in times past.
The outcome of the present Grange
crusade will attract attention far be-
yond the confines of Kansas, because
the facts will undoubtedly show hat
similar condition as to the use of
oleo exists in other states.

URGES US. OPERATION
OF MUSCLE SHOALS
Rev. DR.. Ryan, Before Senate Com
mittee, Advocates Production
of Electric Power.
BY the Associated Press.


Government operation of Muscle
Shoals for power was advocated to-
day before the Senate agriculture com
mittee by Rev. DIR. John A. Ryan. di-
rector of the department of social
action of the National Catholic Wei
fare Conference.
"If the people who desire electric
power from Muscle Shoals want 1t at
the cheapest price, they should favor
Government operation" he continued.
"All that is required for public opera
ton is to provide interest and sink
ing fund annually on the actual cost
Of the enterprise and it has every in
centive to reduce cost and improve
servic.'
DR.. Ryan Endorsed the Norris Gov
eminent operation bill because he said
it provides for unified development and
operation Of Muscle Shoals and the
power sites on the entire Tennessee
River and its tributaries. This. he
declared. would assure cheap power,
which should be the supreme consid-
Grafton in the development of Muscle
Shoals. The changes in social and
industrial life caused by the distribu-
ton of the Muscle Shoals power at
a low price, he asserted, would equal
that brought about by the industrial
revolution a century and a quarter
ago.
Unless Muscle Shoals is developed
and operated as a unit the South and
the Nation at large will lose approx
mately 80 per cent of that potential
energy" he added. This means a
lost power investment Of $70.000,OO0,
a lost investment in general industry
of about $500, 100000 and loss of
the use of power by over 100000
persons"

ALUMINIUM ISSUE
STILL HANGS FIRE
Senate Adjourns Without Act
ing on Report calling for
Further Investigation.

After debating the issue for several
hours yesterday, the Senate adjourned
without having disposed of the ma
jority report of the judiciary commit
tee recommending further Senate
investigation Of the Aluminium Co. of
America.
AS the session was brought to a
close more than an hour earlier than
usual, Senator Walsh, Democrat,
Montana, who is pressing for action,
declared there appeared to be dis
position on the part Of the Republi-
can leaders to delay matters.
Chairman Cummins of the judiciary
committee, the principal speaker yes
terday, and others assured the Mon
tana Senator that this was not the
case; that other Senators who wanted
to speak were not prepared at the
moment to address the Senate.
Will Fight Further Inquiry.
Senator Reed, Republican, Penn
sylvanta, gave notice that he would
take up the fight against further in
vestigations today. He is to be fol
lowed by Senators Harreld OF Okla
homa. and Goff Of West Virginia, Re
publicans of the judiciary committee.
who are opposed to the proposed Sen
ate action.
The veteran Iowa Senator in his
address challenged the right of the
Senate to make an investigation to
determine whether the Aluminium
Co. of America. in which Sec
rotary Mellon Is large stock
holder. has violated Federal Court
consent DEGREES. He said the inves
tigat1on would not be in the interest
of enactment of legislation, and con-
sequently was illegal.
Senators Walsh and RnhfpSOn Of
Arkansas, the Democratic floor lead
err, disagreed with this view. Reply
ing to the latter, Senator Cummins
said the Senate had the power to Eau
thorize" the President to appoint spe-
cial counsel to prosecute the alumni
mum case, as was done with the naval
oil reserve cases, but that it did not
have the power to direct him to
do SO.
Iowa Senator's Charge.
The Iowa Senator also argued that
the Senate went outside of its Jurls-
diction in the investigation 1t did
make to determine whether the De
partment of Justice had proceeded
with due diligence in prosecuting its
inquiry as to whether the company
hal violated the court DEGREES.
Reading the conclusions of the De
partment Of Justice that there was
not sufficient evidence upon which
to predicate contempt proceedings
against the company, Senator Cum
Minis said he would not say that these
conclusions were the same that some
other agency might reach, but he
would insist that, since the Justice
Department had made the investiga
ton, the Senate had no right to go be
hind 1t except through impeachment
proceedings
