It Belongs to the People
(PittSburgh Press

From any angle it is considered.
the report Of the Hoover Muscle
Shoals commission is only the opin-
ion of nine men, appointed by the
president and the governors of Ten
nessee and Alabama.
It contained no more than was ex-
pected. It was q blueprint Of Presi-
dent Hoover,s known ideas Of what
should be done with this great power
plant. It favored lease Of the Shoals
to some private corporation. Indeed,
1t hardly could have favored anything
else since one member Of the COM
mission admitted they went to the
white house "for orders"
But, only congress can dispose Of
Muscle Shoals. Twice before it has
insisted on the federal government
operating the power plants there.
Twice congress was thwarted, once
by President Coolidge and once by
President Hoover.
This will not deter congress from
acting again, and In favor again, we
believe. Of government operation.
President Hoover was given an ex-
cellent opportunity to lease the fer
tilizer manufacturing plants at
Muscle Shoals under tho bill the last
congress passed. But he vetoed IT..
Now. however, his commission makes
suggestion very similar. II con-
gress' plan was wrong. why Is his
commissions plan In this regard
right7
Under the bill Hoover vetoed, the
people who paid for Muscle Shoals
would have been able to purchase
some Of the surplus power manufac-
tured here. Under the Hoover COM
mission plan, the chances Of the peo-
pie getting any Of this power are nil.
Congress, we believe, will accord
the Hoover report but casual consid-
GRAFTON, and will insist, once again,
that Muscle Shoals, belonging to the
people and the government must be
retained for them.

Columbus Mans

It is interesting to learn that the
inap which Christopher Columbus
used on his third voyage to America
has come to light in a Turkish mu-
scum, and will shortly be given to
the world.
There is world of romance in
maps, especially in very old ones: and
the map which carries great blank
spaces along its borders, indicating
that the photographer did not know
what lay behind the horizon, can call
forth endless dreams.
That, of course, was the kind of
map Columbus used. On his first
voyage maps were of little use to him.
He expected to fetch up against the
Asiatic coastline somewhere, and he
probably had such charts Of China.
Malaga and India as 18th century
Spain could provide. But all the way
thither was as mysterious and un-
known as the other side Of the moon.
What good is map to q man who
charts course due west into a shore
less sea? 4! ~Xx
BY the time he made his third trip,
Of course, he probably had more or
less makeshift set Of charts. He
knew, at least. that sooner or later
he would make more or less famil-
lar landfall. Somewhere ahead there
were islands and channels he had
seen before.
But all the rest was darkness. To
the north and south stretched almost
infinite reaches Of empty ocean. which
might conceal anything from the lost
Atlantis to the Happy Isles that
Ulysses sailed for. What. one won
dsrs, did the old navigator think.

Of him. as he sat in his dim-lit. creak-
ing cabin, q chair braced against the
bulkhead for security, and studied his

We shall never know, Of course.
6ea-faring men are seldom commu-
NEGATIVE. and Columbus was no ex-
ception. But since that IS q closed
book, the next best thing IS q glimpse
at the map he used: and the man
who could not pore over it by the
hour, lost in dreams, has no appre-
citation Of romance.
One trouble with our world today,
Vou see, is that our maps are too
complete. Around the poles there are
dwindling white spaces, and Asia and
South America still have small areas
that are unknown. But for the most
part every headland has been chart
ed, every mountain range has been
filled in, every river bed has been
traced. What wouldn't we give for a
map that was half empty!

 MOON DOCS AND ! LUNAR CROSS
Phenomena Are Caused by Reflection and Reffac-
 ton of Light

This morning at 7:30 o'clock, left and right paraselenae, or moon dogs and a lunar or heavenly cross, were observed in Fairbanks, says the Fairbanks News Miner in it's issue of January '. These op- tical phenomena are associated with haloS, the lunar cross being of in- frequent occurrence. Moon dogs are bright, luminous spots to be seen on either side of the moon. Cccas ,paly, vertical column of sheen extends above and below the moon, which is known as the pill lar of light When the sheen ex- tends horizontally as well as yer tically, it is called the lunar cross or the heavenly cross.
 These phenomena are caused by Ike reflection and refraccipn of light through the ice crystals of which the cirro-stratus clouds are composed. The presence of cir ro-status or of alto-stratus clouds at the time that the sun or moon is visible is necessary for the for nation of halos and the optical phenomena associated with them.

Tonight at the Natatoriun1. the Douglas Fire Fighters take on the Capitol Builders from Juneau, in what they claim is going to be a comeback for the Islanders. The local boys lost both engagements they had in Juneau with the Alum nj and the Fire Depar n t. Strengthened in tonight's game by the return of Bob Bonner and Leonard Johnson, they should give good account of themselves.
 The Capitol boys have an edge on the Islanders as they were defeat ed some time ago by the Juneau Fire Department by only one point, while the Islanders were submerg- cd by one sided score. All indi- cations prove that the game will be close and plenty of action is assured. Starting time for the game is 8 o'clock. e

 As Aileen stood staring at the impudent card, there was another knock at the door and she called to Nora Nolan to go and open it. The visitor would be Kronberg, and it would be an absurd mistake to decline to receive him now. In the moment or so that remained to her, Aileen tried to determine whether his request to see her and the arrival of Adrasteia's card, could have been timed deliberately, or whether their coming together was mere coincidence.
