MUSCLE SHOALS ROW
 BEGAN CENTURY AGO Alabama Wanted Canal Built in 1927 Around Spot Now Songht
 for Power Project

IOE IUWCH ErOycCss
 Washington, Feb. 15.-IF-After all. there is nothing really new about Muscle Shoals and the problem of what congress should do about 1t.
 AS early as 1927 it was consider ed to be . problem national in char acter and deserving of federal funds. Old records reveal that in that year congress was asked by Representa- tive Moore of Alabama to authorize q canal around the shoals. It was de- scribed as a project of last import ance to the states of Alabama. Ken lucky. Ohio, Mississippi. Louisiana and the western part of Virginia.
 Claims that it was a national prob lem were based on the fact that cot !on growers from these states an- nually shipped from 5o.000 to 55.0o0 bales Of cotton down the Tennessee river through the shoals. and though the distance was only 25 to 30 miles the transportation costs exceeded S27.000, It was contended that the proposed canal would save this amount for the growers each year.

San jose On each occasion the coaches
were besieged by groups of native wom-
en- and children with pots of steaming
"cafe," ready to be mixed with hot
milk and serve to the traveller in slight
ly used tin cups; trays of tacos, con-
sisting of ground meat and peppers in
shell of baked dough, and baskets OF
bananas, oranges and prickly pears.
Few members of the party could
muster nerve enough to try the coffee,
but they sampled freely the tongue
scorching tacos and the green-skinned,
but perfectly ripe bananas and oranges.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover decided to save
their appetite for the big luncheon
awaiting them in San jose.
Photographers "Scooped" by Coaches.
The arrival in the capital city will
be remembered keenly by photogra-
pliers with the Hoover party, because of
an unfortunate incident that prevented
them from shooting" the reception at
the depot.
1t was their own fault, however.
They swung off the train with their
heavy equipment as the cars slowed
down at way station, just outside the
center of the city, believing the main
depot had been reached. But the train
did not stop and they were left dunn
founded. on the platform.
Happily, a taxicab was available near
by, and the cameramen managed to
catch up with the party few minutes
later in front of the American embassy.

NATIONS WILL SIGN
KELLOGG PROTOCOL
ENJOYS of Russia, Poland, Latvia,
Esthonia, Lithuania and Ru-
mania to Meet February z.
BY the Associated PreGs.

BY the Associated Press.
WARSAW, February 5.--For the first
time in the history of the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics, Russia and
all her western neighbors from the
Gulf of Finland to the Black Sea are
to sit at council table. This will
take place February in Moscow, when
representatives of Russia, Poland, Ru-
mania, Esthonia, Latvia and Lithu-
ania are ito sign protocol for i'm
mediate enforcement of the Kellogg
pact between those countries.
Stanislas Patek, Polish minister to
Russia, gave formal notice of the read
mess of Poland and Rumania to sign,
when he visited NJ M. Litvinoff, as
sistant commissar for foreign affairs
at Moscow, yesterday. M. Patek will
sign fer Poland, while Rumania will
send special delegate.
The fact that Lithuania will join
the other states did not become known
here until yesterday morning. The adj
vices from Kovno did not reveal just
why the government of Premier Wal
demaras had changed its stand on this
project. About a week ago 1t was
stated that Lithuania, like Finland,
would hold aloof from the protocol.

ing new crops to supplant bananas after
the soil has lost fertility through con-
slant banana culture. Bananas may be
raised profitably in one spot for about
a decade, after which the fruit suffers
materially from lack of nourishment in
the soil.
Rivalry Disturbs Industry.
One of the party's informants dis
closed that the whole banana industry
has become disturbed of recent years as
result of rivalry between the United
Fruit Co. and independent concerns.
The American company, it was indi-
Gated, has obtained virtual corner"
on Costa Rica's bananas. Serious traces
of LII feeling have resulted from the ag-
gressive business activities of the United
company, it was said. the unrest at
times having given rise to anti-Amer-
isan agitation in the republic.
The Costa Ricans insisted the agita-
ton against the United States orig
mated with outside interests" and that
reports to the effect that Costa RIGA
was unfriendly to the United States were
unfair. In this connection it was as
serted that the appeal made to the
League of Nations to interpret the Mon
roe Doctrine had been voiced by "a
minor official and that his action had
been widely disapproved in Costa Rica.
AS the train moved doggedly upward
to the inland plateau the type of
scenery changed quite noticeably. On
the heights the climate is too cool for
growing bananas, but not for the GRIM
son coffee berries, which could be view-
ed in holly-like clusters on the tail
bushes along the railway. Midway be-
tween the banana section and the cot
fee regions, there existed a zone where
both crops we're grown in the same
fields. The dark green leaves and red
berries of the coffee bushes contrasted
sharply with the light green stalks of
the palm-like banana trees.
Crisp Air Stimulates Activities.
The crisp air of the highlands plainly
stimulated all native activities. More
haciendas were apparent, with inter-
esting signs of life apparent. There
were clearings in the coffee fields, where
the sun was baking down on great dry
ing yards, covered with recently gath
cred berries in the process of being
cured. Coffee once had been Costa
Rica's principal export, but the de-
showed the beverage bean into second
place. 2
1t is understood that Mr.. Hoover in
CURED as to the status of the rubber
industry in Costa RIGA, and that he
was given to understand that the prices
demanded for labor made the gather
ing of rubber difficult business propo-
Sition.
While the wages of day labor in Costa
RIGA were said to be higher than in
some other Central American countries
attention was called to the curious fact
that services of persons in the advanced
technical professions could be obtained
for relatively small considerations. It
was stated, for example, that German
engineers are willing to work there for
5000 a month, whereas the American
engineer demands $1,000 month for
his services. The foreigner, as rule,
gets the job.
The Hoover train made only two or
three operating stops during the run to

POPE MAY DISCLOSE
COVENANT IN WEEK
Accord With Italy May Be
Formally Announced
February II.
BY the Associated Press.


ROME, February 5.--Formal an
nouncement of an accord between the
Vatican and the government of Italy
may be made week from today. A re-
port to this effect caused much COM
ment in Vatican circles yesterday, al
though some personages there were
doubtful that a solution of the Roman
question would be found so soon.
It was generally believed that If Pope
Plus decided to give out the news on
February IL, he would do so in con-
nection with the celebration in st.
Peters of the anniversary of his cor
onation as Pope At that time he will
be surrounded by his cardinals, while
IN ST. Peters there will await him
patriarchs, archbishops, bishops, heads
of congregations and of religious orders,
ecclesiastical, military and lay officials,
as well as a thousand or more faithful
of the church from all nationalities.
Should he decide on this method, the
Pope would probably go through the
formality of asking the cardinals for
advice about the solution of the vexed
problem.
simultaneously, the official news of
the event would be communicated to
the diplomatic body accredited to the
Vatican in order that the representa-
tives may communicate it to their re-
Spectlve governments.

which is the greatest success the experts and the inexperts concede them. the Athletic march, for the present, will have been merely slowed . bit. Four out of five for the champions would help. but what they need is five straight - and that is the last thing in the world to expect.
 Remnants are not often won in the dual series between the one two teams. although the case of the Yankees against the Athletics last year was an exception. The clash of the two leaders, over a period of years, will approximate an even break. and that is all Connie Mack seems to need. With anything ap- preaching an even division against the Tanks last year. he would have won by an Irish smile. To date his record against Higgins is three out of five.
