WASHINGTON, March e-Muscle
Shoals, killed by President Hoover
and thirty-four senators and ap-
parently entombed, today emerged
a bristling, fighting issue which un-
douotedly will figure in the next
campaign.
Already plans are afoot for pas
sage IN the next congress Of a bill
very similar to the compromise
which Hoover vetoed. And it was
predicted in the debate preceding
the senate roll call that it would
then be passed over another veto.
u necessary.
such senators as Norris Rep.,
NeoC; Mcclellan Oem., Tennis;
BACK Dem, Ala.), and Smith
lDem., S. CO. already have laid the
ground work to demand passage Of
a Muscle Shoals bill next session.
Veto Torn to Shreds
The defeat Of the Shoals COM
promise, by a 10 to "a vote, which
tailed to furnish the necessary two
thirds, marked the second time a
PRESIDENT has prevailed over con-
gress IN this controversy. Two years
ago Coolidge gave a similar bill q
pocket veto. Hoover sent this years
III back with a long veto message.
The veto was torn to shreds in the
senate debate.
Hoover's figures on the probable
cost Of power manufactured at the
Shoals were refuted by lower figures
from the war departments " re-
port on the Tennessee river.
His contention that the leasing
provisions Of the compromise were
Intellectual was denied and de-
nounced. His demands that the
government not enter the power
business were met with the explana-
ton that the government already
owns Muscle Shoals and is operating
it.
Violated Campaign pledge"
His campaign statements made at
Elizabethton, Tenn, were recalled
and compared to his statements in
the veto message.
Those campaign statements,
Black told the senate in a ringing
speech, would have made any
reasonable men believe he (Hoover)
would sign such a measure as he
now Netoes." The Alabaman said
the President had a thorough and
complete misconception of the COM
promise he disapproved.
Black said that the veto would
bring "joy and gladness to the
hearts of those who will contribute
to the campaign" and Norris said
that because of the veto the power
trust is in high jubilee"
The r~esurrected Muscle Shoals
probably will be a topic at the
progressives' conference, called by
Norris and others, for next week.

For about two years I suffered
with indigestion, aud kidney and
liver trouble. Gas formed in my
stomach shortly after eating, and I
had cramping pains Of indigestion.
Ny back ached almost constantly,
and I was forced to get up several
times every night. I had attacks Of
biliousness and severe headaches,
and my bowels were very irregular.
Friends induced me to try Konjola
and I began to improve as I took
this medicine. I had TO take ssv
eral bottles, but 7 didn't mind that
for Konjola made my life pleasant,
and I strongly recommend Konjola
TO other sufferers"
It is what a medicine actually
does that counts; and Konjola can
be counted on for results.

THE desire to express ones self, the
impulse to act upon the stage, is
said to be inborn in us all. Maybe it's
true, for at some time or other In our
lives we have found ourselves nursing
secret pride in the belief that we
might be able to do something TO at
trace the attention Of the crowd For
Of such is born fame, and everybody
wants to be famous in one way or an
other. 1t doesn't matter particularly
which.
