The announcement by Mr. Roose-

who have been working for this project
Tor years always have been pleased
when members In the House referred
to the Tennessee Valley as the future

that prediction a reality"
Many surveys have been made by
Army engineers and other agencies OF
fiood-cOntrol work and of the power
plants at Muscle Shoals. The Power
Commission has much data on water
power development. Reclamation stud
les have been made by the Interior and
Agriculture Departments and the Army
engineers. The forestry service Is well
up on projects of that kind.
A year ago committees appointed by
Secretary Hyde of the Agriculture De-
partment undertook an exhaustive sur.
vey Of the Nations agricultural prob
lem and the need for long time plan
ming. One phase of it dealt with the
back-to-the-farm movement and held
that an undirected, loosely planned
migration would work q hardship on
both the city unemployed and on the
farmers.
Mr.. Roosevelt long has been an advo-
cate Of reforestation and last Summer
suggested that q million men could be
put to work. That. however, was dis
puted by Secretary Hyde, who held that
q few thousand would be able to plant
all the trees.

Old-F ashioned Stereoscope
Detects Bogus Money

The old-fashioned stereoscope,
which before the days Of the mo-

in the parlor Of nearly every
medium -class American home, is
still used in the detection Of
counterfeit bank and Federal Re-
serve notes, according to M. J.
Julian, director of the Better
Vision Institute of New York city.
The stereoScope, he explained,
is an optical instrument in which
two photographs of the same OBJ
ject, or of the same scene, taken
from q few feet apart, are viewed.
Each eye sees one picture in the
stereoscope. The slight diSsiMi-
larity of pictures causes an illu-
sion Of depth, or solidity, in the
resultant picture seen through the
StereoScope.
When two banknoteS printed
from the same plate are viewed
through a stereoScope, each eye
sees a figure identical to that
seen by the other eye. This COM
