SHOALS To GO
TOCONGRESS
NEXT WEEK
BaCkers of Bill to Bring
Plan Before Body Despite
Indications of Hoover Veto

The 12-year-old controversy over
the 100000 war-built Muscle
Shoals project will be laid before
q restless Congress next week
with the possibility the outcome
may determine the necessity for
a special session, according to
plans laid by hackers Of the
Norris bill today.
Plans Are Laid
With Administration leaders
already limiting a Presidential
veto awaits the compromise Of
Senate and House conference
committees, the conference was
scheduled to perfect the plan
today for early presentation to
Congress.
Despite the attitude Of House
Republican leaders, Representa-
tive Wurzbach (R0, Of Texas,
stuck with Representatives Quin
CD, of Mississippi, and Fisher
Cd, Of Tennessee, in their agree
ment with the Senators Norris
(RO, of Nebraska, and McNary
(RO, of oregon, on the Senate
committee.
Under the conference COM
mittee plan, the Government
would operate the huge hydro
electric plants at the Alabama
project and build transmission
lines if necessary to sell sur
plus power. The President
would have broad authority to
lease nitrate plants for so years
for production Of cheap fer
tiIizer.
Wurzback FavOrs Plan
The conference agreement was
reached when Representative
Wurzbach deserted his colleagues,
Representatives Ransley (RO Of
Pennsylvania and Reece (R0 of
Tennessee. Representative Wurz-
bach said he yielded on the Sen
ate demand for building of trans
mission lines, either by Congress,
sional appropriation or. out OF
profits of the plant, when an
investigation revealed the House
had endorsed this proposal two
years ago.
The transmission line section,
he said, was not only included
in the Norris-Morin bill, pocket
vetoed" by President Coolidge,
but was in a compromise pro
posed by Representative Smell
.(R.l Of New York.
Quinn to Seek Action
The refusal Of House Repub-
1ican leaders to accept the con-
ference plan may result in the
unusual situation Of a Democrat,
Representative Quin of Missis,
sippi presenting the report.
Representative Quin said he would
demand action on the House
floor next week.
Walter Newton. secretary Of
President Hoover. conferred with
House leaders but declined to
indicate what the President
would do.
No trouble was anticipated by
Norris and McNary in gaining
Senate approval, since the Sen
ate had already approved the
Government ownership feature of
the bill.

What About Carrots?

An American eats what his fancy dictates, and
what he can be induced to buy and is not forced to
take whatever foods are available
AS a result, numerous devices have been used to
promote the greater consumption of various articles
such as citrus fruits and-you guessed it-spnach.
The "health appeal has been most effective in
changing food habits, told by William A. Sher-
man of the bureau of agricultural economics of the
department of agriculture.
Sherman's research leads to the discovery that
where from 1917 to 1920 railroads carried 2,436
carloads of spinach year. they now handle 1o,oO2
carloads.
Scientific advocates of the use Of spinach have
confessed to me that they themselves soon tire OF It,
Sherman adds "and have found few persons who
are enthusiastic spinach for themselves oftener
than say once week, perhaps less frequently.
"See how many parents placing spinach with
relentless regularity before their children and insist
ing that at least some of it be eaten"
And he might have added husbands are by no
means immune from the spinach craze and other
food fads.
Sherman may have committed heresy In his re-
marks about spinach and made the task Of house
keepers more difficult. But all the family except
mother will rise to praise his name.

Snain Swings Left

General strikes and martial law following Sundays
national election indicates rapid swing to the left in
Spain.
Results of the election were discounted in advance
By their votes for members of the constitutional as
Semby, which is to determine the future form of gov
eminent. the Spanish people have confirmed the rev.
olution Of two months ago, which unseated Alfonso
and the ancient Bourbon-Hapsburg monarchy.
After being driven out the king said he would abide
by the results of the election Whether he keeps
his promise resorts to the usual form of defunct
monarchist plots. Alfonso seems no longer strong
enough to influence Spanish events. The monarchist
vote was insignificant
The Catholic parties also suffered heavily. That
expected, because of the old alliance between the
church and the monarchy. and because OF partisan
political activities Of the Catholic primate and certain
other members of the hierarchy.
But it would be premature to assume that the
church has ceased to be major power in Spain.
Rather, it is to be expected that new ecclesiastics
chosen by the Vatican for their diplomatic skill and
popular following, will adapt church policy to the
new republican conditions and thus continue to con-
troll public opinion in many parts of the country.
Success of the autonomst party in Catalonia
doubtless will encourage similar movements in other
provinces, and make more difficult the creation of
sired by the ruling Republican-Socialist coalition.
But it may well be that there is more safety and
efficiency IN loose and decentralized federation at
the present stage of Spanish development than in any
more rigid form imposed from above by Madrid
All these issues of monarchsm church and state,
provincial autonomy, which agitate the Spanish poll
tcians, appear however to be less fundamental than
the rising economic conflict behind the revolution and
the present general strikes
Although conservative republicans fresh from the
nonarchist fold captured leadership in the republican
government which followed Alfonso the revolution
was made by disconnected Industrial workers in the
cities and andhungy peasants on the estates of the
nobility.
Now those revolutionary groups are dissatisfied
with the conservatism of the RepubIcan-Socialist
coalition government
Arrest Of Major Franco-fanous aviator. popular
hero, and revolutionary leader-charged with plan
ming another armed uprising, shows how much the
present rulers fear the swing to the left Even if
Franco and the extreme syndicalist group are ur-
able to capture power, the revolutionary unrest may
drive the Socialists out of the coalition
The Socialist party, which is the best organized
and one OF the strongest in Spain, is apt for time
to ride the wave of Industrial strikes and peasant
volt which threatens the conservative Republicans

No Test of Freedom

The Christian Century is extremely indignant at
the supreme court for denying citizenship in the
Macintosh and Bland cases. 1t minces no words:
mot since the bred Scott case in 1887 has the
supreme court of the United States rendered deci
sion which so outrages the nations conscience.
This is tyranny in its worst form. 1t is not merely
that kind of tyranny which energies in crisis; 1t is
tyranny woven into the very structure of government
and consented to by its citizens That the American
spirit will accept it supinely is unthinkable"
Without the slightest wish to dissent from the
Christian Century's opposition to making military
service basic test Of fitness for American citizenship
there is some consolation in the decision. The Mac
intosh and Bland presented no clear test of
freedom Of conscience in regard to They merely
raised the question Of whether religious scruples
should be placed above obligation to military service
If any victory is for freedom of conscience in
regard to war and military service it must be won in
some sweeping case as that of Rosika Schwimmer.
Here the issue is drawn clearly between pacifsm
and militarisn A victory would be triumph for all
tyues of sincere directors to the war system.
It may be well to wait for further additions to the
liberal contingent on the supreme court and then
bring up a case similar to that of Madame Schwm-
mer.
The fact that religious directors to war now are
excluded from citizenship will help to keep alive the
desire to test anew the temper of the court this
issue

Plenty to EXPLORE

BECAUSE of what Jules Verne
1s wrote fifty or sixty years ago,
and more especially because of the
way in which it has been justified,
the notion prevails that the task of
discovering scientific truths involves
no more irksome labor than getting
off in a corner and dreaming.
The point is, however, that Jules
Verne was not dreamer. He spent
a good deal of time acquiring and
digesting such scientific knowledge
as was available, and he wrote very
little that scientists regarded as i'm
probable.
Science knows that a great many
inventions and discoveries are Just
around the corner because those
laws and principles already -scov-
cred, but where laws and principles
have not been discovered, science is
just as helpless as the rest of us.
It is quite true that some laws
and principles have been discovered
by the process Of deduction, and no
one doubts that more will be dis
covered in the same way.
The majority of such discoveries,
however, has been brought about
by actual experience, by real men
coming in contact with real facts,
and that method will also continue
to be indispensable.
We are not only explorers in the
flesh and blood, but we still have
plenty to explore.

NEW YORK, July IA Brit
~ ish expedition has scaled Mt.
Kamet, sixth highest peak Of the
Himalayas.
It took runners nine days to carry
the news a few miles. Once they
had reached the outposts Of CIV
ilization, 1t was flashed over the
world in the space Of minutes.
Men have been climbing noun
tains since the dawn of conscious
ness, but Kamet is the highest one
they have yet scaled. 1t is not only
exceeded by five others, but by
some of them sufficiently to make
good-sized mountains.
Everest, for instance, is $4,000 feet
high, while Kamet is only 25,447.
That leaves a difference of more
than $500 feet.
Outside of the Pacific coast and
Rocky mountain sections, we Amer
leans regard climbing 3,500-fooG
hill as real adventure.
Imagine that hill on top of a
snow-capped mountain five miles
high, with the temperature seldom
less than Is or 90 degrees below
zero and no wood with which to
make a fire, and you get some idea
Of what remains to be done.

One Year of Woodcock

II Amos W w. Woodcock is given to introspection,
his thoughts may not be comfortable as his first year
in charge Of the experiment noble in motive closes
The national dry boss doubtless knows now, II ne did
not before that decent and effective enforcement can
not go hand In hand.
He must appreciate that the more honorable the
methods by which he tries to enforce the dry laws
the less chance Of he has. soldier, he may
reflect that prohibition enforcement, like war. does
not admit Of sensible thought or treatment.
This Is no reflection upon MIR. Woodcock, al
thought it is the worst indictment of prohibition in
a decade He has, without doubt, given the sanest
and least offensive sort of enforcement since the
enactment of the eighteenth amendment. He has,
where some of his predecessors failed been business
like official rather than fanatic. He has. in accord
with the Administrations known wishes, taken the
subject of the front page and out Of the realm of
sensationalsm. He has, in many things, been mod
crate and temperate.
His policies have shown some thought for the Bill
of Rights as well as the ordinary decencies. He has
emphasized the citizens right to be free from unlaw-
full invasion Of their homes. He has executed the
Hoover program of directing enforcement against the
commercial traffic rather than the appetite His in
fuence the actions of agents has been healthy.
He has forbidden gun play and rough tactics in raids.
He has frowned upon stool pigeons and entrapment.
He has tried to improve the standard of agents
through schooling in their duties and the indvidu"
ais RIGHTS.
Nevertheless he has met with less actual success

Diet Has Little Effect in Rheumatism

| diet is particularly important in
the chronic type and should in
clude especially the foods that
provide plenty of vitanlins, minerals
and good quantities of protein, such
as muscle meats and liver.
The people who have apparently
supported dietary quacks more
than any others are those who are
growing old and have, associated
with increase in age, slight infam-
nations of the joints.
The chief value in such cases is
attached to diets that are suff1-
GENTLY slight in caloric value to
prevent increase in weight.
A large increase in weight is
serious at any time, but particular
ly serious when it concerns some
one with inf1amed Joints.
Indeed, a low caloric diet with
limited amounts of carbohydrates
or sugars is the one type of diet
upon which all authorities agree as
being of some use in chronic arth-
ritiS deformans, or in the progress
sive types Of inflammation of the
joints affecting the aged.
