CHAPTER TWELVE.


TINE mellow music of distant

open window. The Slanting rays of
a late morning sun played upon the
face of the sleeping man.
Andy's arm in subconScious 1rrt-
tation was thrown up to protect his
eyes, then again fell back upon the
pillow. He turned on his side and
yawned. The telephone on the bed
side table set up a clamor, drown
ing out the church bells and the
low hum of Pennsylvania street
traffic. Its summons was insistent
and gradually pierced the sleep

He raised himself on one elbow and
drew the receiver to him.
"What's that?" he asked. who?

ACTION ON SHOALS
ASKED OF HOOVER
Inclusion in Extra Session
Is Urged by Alabama
Representative.

BY the Associated Press.
Urging that no better method of farm
relief could be devised than the develop
ment and production of cheap fertilizer,
Representative Almon. Democrat, Ala
bama. asked President Hoover yester-
day to include the settlement OF the
Muscle Shoals problem in the program
Of the extra session of Congress
After calling at the White House to
present his proposal, Almon said the
President had said 1T seemed likely that
the Muscle Shoals question could be
worked out by Congress. He added, how
ever, that Hoover had not held forth
any assurance that 1t would be taken
up at the forthcoming special session.
The Alabama Representative recon-
mended that no disposition be made of
the property which included a lease for
number of years of the power facili-
ties. He said he told the President that
there is nothing he could do that would
meet with more general approval of the
people OF the entire country than to
have the Muscle Shoals problem set
tied at the extra session.
He added that the people have been
disappointed with the delay of Con-
gresS in putting the Muscle Shoals plant
into operation for the manufacture of
fertilizer, the purpose for which 1t was
intended" and that they were now
looking to President Hoover for speedy
and proper settlement Of the entire
question

The state of Vera Cruz is a narrow
band of territory covering the lower
half of the eastern gulf coast Of Mexico.

city OF Vera Cruz, which has been the
water gateway of Mexico from the DAYS

Tampico Growing in Importance.
Vera Cruz is for the most part a
low-lying country given over to banana,
sugar and rice plantations and the
growth of other tropical plants. There
is no north and south railway through
out the state. only relatively short
stretches of track up and down the
coast from the port. This situation
emphasizes the Importance in the af-
fairs OF the state. of the city of Vera
Cruz, the sea gateway, and the. city of
Or1zba. 60 miles inland on the road to
Mexico City. The holding of these two
cities will mean control of the State.
In recent years the port of Vera
Cruz has slipped somewhat from its
former dominant position among Mexi-
can ports, while Tampico, 23O miles to
the north, has grown rapidly in i'm
portance. This advance of Tampico at
the expense of Vera Cruz has been due
chiefly to two factors-the development
OF petroleum supplies in the vicinity of
Iamplco and labor and employment re-
StrlctlonS in Vera Cruz that have dis
couraged importers and exporters. Since
a railway has been in existence from
Tampico onto the plateau at San Luis
Potosi an ever-increasing stream of
goods from overseas has flowed to Mex
leo City over this route. This geo.
graphic and economic situation is of
great Importance to the federal govern
ment at this time. With Vera Cruz

Brig. Gen. Van Horn Moseley, who
