Of Congress disposing Of the Muscle
Shoals problem before the new Hoo
yer administration takes office on
March appear remote at this writ
ing. but that isn't deterring the folks

nitrate plants operated-and oper-
ated at once.
The newest frontal attack is being
conducted along different lines; it is
designed to show how much the
American farmer is losing every day
through the failure of the govern
ment to operate the great fertilizer
manufacturing plants or lease them
to somebody who will operate them.
According to the calculations now
being impressed upon congressman,
so far this year the nations farmers
have lost an average of 4,132, 772.94
per month. or at the rate Of S52, 1885,
275.28 q year. When one multiplies
this by the 10 years that the great
plants have stood idle, he gets the
amazing total of $527,932, 1890
Therefore, since the cost was approx
imately $l5O,OOO,OO0. these figures
are being cited to show how many
times the big project could have paid
for itself had it ever been operated
The figures are compiled by the
Florence Times-News, which is pub
lished at Florence, Ala, almost in
the shadow of Muscle Shoals. Fol
4 long time, this newspaper has pub
lished daily figures on the amount OF

New York, Dec. This is just a
short story of the Bowery that was,
and the Bowery that is.
The Bowery that was is flashy,
colorful and drab legend. The Bow
cry that is-well, it's drab when it's
drab, and after that it's a bit monot-
onous. 1t retains its name, it's buns
and its two-bit lodging houses. And
little else.
But once upon the time when the
Bowery was the Bowery, there was
q fighter they called 1.-THE Bowery

And anyone who cares to look
through his Sporting Annual can
chart back to a day when the name
Of the Bowery Boy was one, as they
say. to conjure with. The Bowery
Boy was truly a Bowery Boy, with

the 1905. when lot of us were still
anticipating birth, the Bowery Boy

Closkey, whose name still fingers in
song.
Overnight. the lad who had been
Joe Bernstein, but who became the
Bowery Boy, was more than a pass
ing hero to his neighborhood. He
was idolized, hero worshipped and
teted.
Then the old story-transient
glory. bright lights, money and then
obscurity.
Very well! About a year ago,
the Bowery Boy from the Bowery
that was, revisited the Bowery that
is. He hadn't been feeling well.
And he was broke. He thought he'd
like to revisit the scene Of his glory
in the event that his illness proved
more serious than appeared on the
surface. As he plodded, half sick,
along the tawdry lower Bowery that
is, buns asked him for dimes. And
he couldn't give them any, for he
had none himself.
The following day he collapsed
and they took him to the Bellevue
hospital-to a charitable ward.
For q time it seemed certain he
would die, but finally he won anc

to start himself up in business.
