FORD POWER PUT
PROiVllSED TD NATION
Muscle Shoals Project to Be
Public Enterprise.
PERSONAL PROFIT BARRED
Capitalist Declared to Intend to Sec
. That Tcoplo Get Benefit From
Industrial Plan.
DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 11. (By the
Associated Press.) If IlenryFord ob
tains possession of the Muscle Shoals
project in Alabama he will take im-
mediate steps to make that part of
the south one of the industrial cen
ters of the country, the Associated
Tress learned today. The Muscle
Shoals plan of Mr. Ford contemplates
one of the greatest undertakings In
the history of industrial America it
became known, and Includes develop
ment of the property as a model, and
the eventual extension of the system
to other parts of the country.
Mr. Ford's proposal Includes the
building of a city 75 miles long- in
the Muscle Shoals region. It would
be made up of a number of large
towns or small cities. This is in line
with the manufacturers' view that
men and their families could live in
small communities where benefits of
rural or near-rural life would not be
entirely lost.
Mr. Ford's proposal to the govern
ment includes leasing of the property
for 100 years.
rtrrniml Profit Renounced.
But before the expiration of half
that time he proposes to turn the
completed project over to the people
of the district or to the government
In such a way that no one in the fu
ture will be able to make a personal
Drofit from the undertaking. He will
arrange that neither he nor any of his
heirs may realize any monetary bene
fit from the Muscle Shoals plants or
the power developed.
Mr. Ford proposes to make the proj
ect, if the government gives its con
sent, the outstanding achievement of
his career.
The Muscle Shoals project Is, how
ever, only the, start of a greater pro
gramme. It became known. This in
cludes the development of water
power facilities in many parts of the
country by which persons in those
communities would derive power to
run manufacturing plants, light their
homes and run machinery on the
farms. One detail of the plan is the
harnessing by farmers of every creek
and brook that crosses their prop
erty. Enough power is wasted on
these small streams to operate the
farm machinery and to light farm
buildings, Mr. Ford believes.
Trip to Cnpltnl rianned.
Mr. Ford expects to leave here to
morrow for Washington to confer
with Secretary Weeks regarding his
proposal. He will be accompanied by
his engineers and others who have
made a close study of the proposal.
If the government accepts his bid,
work at Muscle Shoals will be started
at once. The nitrate and other plants
will be run by steam power, pending
. the time the fyeat dam. which will
require about two years to complete,
has harnessed the water at this point.
This would be followed by rapid de
velopment, in the opinion of Mr. Ford,
until within a comparatively few
years an' industrial center greater
than Detroit would have been built up.
Mr. Ford believes the Muscle Shoals
plan if consummated will be the start
toward the development of the Mis
sissippi river valley. The manu
facturers of this valley could "run
the United States." if the waters now
going to waste could be utilized.
Federal Revenue Kxpected.
Eventually, In Mr. Ford's opinion,
the government could derive enough
revenue from these power projects to
support itself, thereby revolutionizing
the financial system of the country.
Mr. Ford's programme includes
definite steps toward development of
water power In every part of the
country. The manufacturer does not
believe it practicable to carry power
for long distances, and therefore has
evolved a plan to provide each dis
trict with Its own project.
HIGH-PRICED FORD PLANNED
Representatives of Company to Bid
on LlneoInVar Property.
DETROIT, Jan. 11. Representa
tives of Edsel Ford and the Ford Mo
toncompany will bid for the property

If the Ford company obtains the
property, a new Lincoln Motor com
pany will be organized, It is said, and
the Ford interests will be given to
manufacture of higher priced cars
than has been their custom in the
past.

OLABLE DAVID," now at the
Liberty theater, Is one of the
finest pictures of this season
or any other season. It is the sort
of production which the cynics, who
see no good in motion pictures, should
be mad-e to view. "Tol'able David"
is an artistic. piece of work, a picture
with character, fcellnif and beauty.
Richard Barthelmess does tho best
work of his career as the boy who
was Judged by his mountain mother
to be "tol'able, Just tol'able." His
David Is a more delicate piece of
work than the Chinaman In "Broken
Blossoms" and it is more likeable and
far more brilliant than the hero of
"Way Down East." It is one of the
most complete and sensitive charac
ter studies ever presented on the
screen.
The story Is a thoroughly Interest
ing and exciting taie of Kentucky
mountaineers, but not the usual type
of story. There is action arPlenty,
but the central interest is aroused
over the emotions of the boy David,
who secretly rebels at being Just a
boy and yearns to be a man. He
dreams of the day when he can drive
the hack over the hills to get the
government mall and be something
more than the baby of the family.
The events which lead up to the
death of his father and the cruel
injury to his brother, and the reasons
which prevent his taking revenge on
the terrible Hatburns are told with
splendid pathos and strength. The
scene between David and his mother,
In which she keops him from going
forth to avenge the double tragedy
brought upon the Kinemons by tne
Hatburns, is realistic and touching.
David is shown as a man at last when
he overcomes his three enemies in a
filrht which is gruelling but mag
nificently done.
Marion Abbott Is memorable as the
mother. Gladys Hulette is David's
sweetheart. Ernest Torrence presents
an unusual piece of character acting
as Luke Hatburn. He is so terrible a
villain that he really makes the
audience fear for the ultimate safety
of the hero. The rest of the cast
is uniformly good.

Question of Propriety of Going Out
at Night Alone Left to Dis
cretion of Young Women.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11. (Spe
cial.) The question whether it is
proper for a young woman student at
the University of California to gc out
atight unchaperoned is left entirely
to the discretion of the young woman
herself, it became known at the state
university today, following announce
ment of the suspension of the old
chaperon rule at Stanford university.
There has never been any attempt
by officials at the University of Cali
fornia to prescribe rules of such a na
ture for students at Berkeley, prob
ably because, it is said, the University
of California has never maintained
dormitories.
Since the adoption of the "honor
system" and student self-government
there has been no tendency on the
part of officials or members of the
faculty to hamper the personal free
dom of students.
A year ago the students themselves
prescribed "rules" which applied to
sorority houses. One of the "rules,"
which was rather a suggestion than a
mandate, frowned upon a woman be
ing away later than midnight unless
she previously had left at the house
information as to where she was go
ing and where she might be found.
Miss Lucy Stebbins, dean of the
women, said that the majter of stu
dent conduct was left to the students
themselves. There are no fixed rules
of any kind that apply to the conduct
of students at the University of Cali
fornia, it was asserted.

picture was directed by Emett J.
Flynn, who came into prominence as
the director of "A Connecticut
Yankee."
The story of "The Last Trail," Is
built upon the operations of a. lone
outlaw known as the "Night Hawk,"
and contains intensely dramatic sit
uations, threaded by a vivid love ro
mance unusual in Its development.
The great climax at the close of the
story Involves the criminal breaking
of a big dam in the mountains and the
consequent flooding of a little town
in the valley below. The making of
these scenes, for which both village
and dam were constructed, is said to
have been a task involving large ex
penditure of time and labor.
The leading role in "The Last Trail"
Is assumed by the stalwart Maurice
(Lefty) Flynn, one of the most popu
lar western stars. He is given splen
did support by dainty Eva Novak and

iri RAIL WAGE ISSUE
Conference Is Called Before
Trouble Begins.
MINE MEETINGS .LIKELY
Success With Pay Question Now
Under Consideration Will Lead
to Further Negotiations.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.
(Copyrifrht. 1921. by the New York Kventng
rost. Inc. fuoiisnea oy Arcniomcui.i
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 11.-
What is really back of the effort on
the part of Secretary Hoover of the
department of commerce to bring the
railroad brotherhoods and the railroad
managers together Is a forehanded
attempt to prevent the arising again
of the disagreeable situation tne coun
trv faced & few months ago when it
was threatened with a country-wide
railroad strike.
The question of wages was really
not settled by the calling off of that
strike. The railroad managers have
again made application to the railway
labor board for reductions in wagea
In the ordinary course, these applica
tions would come up for decision
about four months from now. It is
in order to forestall what might hap
pen at that time that Mr, Hoover
brought about the rather extraordl
nary spectacle of the heads of the
brotherhoods and the railroad mana
gers sitting down together in his
house.
" Policy Is Far-seeing.
This was not only a striking event
in itself, but it was also an indica
tion of the far-seeing policy on the
part of that department of the gov
ernment which is responsible for pre
venting such an interruption of busi
ness as a railroad strike would mean.
It was an example of the amount of
quiet and unostentatious work done
by many government departments
which does not get much into the
news.
If strike conditions should arise as
they did in September that would be
spectacular. The foreseeing and pre
venting it is fully as important, but
less startling to the public mind. No
news has been given out as to what
the brotherhoods and the railroad
managers did when they came to
gether, but there is a favorable indi
cation in the fact that they are to
come together again.
Hue Contracts to End.
In addition to this question of rail
road wages there are two other sim
ilar questions, both to come to a head
within a few months. Both of them
menace business conditions as much
as the railroad situation does. In
the building trades, as well as in
coal mining, agreements about wages
made one and two years ago between
the unions and the employers, will
come to an end. When they end, it is
certain that there will be differences
in points of view about the new wage
scales, for it is obvious that wages
fixed one and two years ago are In
consistent with present conditions.
It is presumed that if Mr. Hoover
is successful in bringing the rail
road unions and the railroad man
agers together he will make the same
effort in the other two fields. The
whole effort is in an attempt to
bring about new agreements on
wages by negotiation under the
auspices of the government some
months before the crises that are
sure to arise otherwise.
Wage Scales Investigated.
The thing Is really broader than
this. The whole matter of the de
velopment of another period of
smooth-running prosperity is de
pendent upon adjustments of wages
to present conditions.
The commerce department has made
exhaustive investigations looking
toward what are reasonable wagea
under the conditions of 1922. The)
have tried to arrive at a decision that
is normal now as compared with pre
war conditions. In some lines wages
have already been adjusted to what
is now normal, but in other lines the
wages are far out of line.
If this element can be stabilized
successfully, it is believed that it will
be one of the largest steps now
needed towards the restoration of a
period of steadily increasing activity
and prosperity.

5? What Doctors do for theimown
V sore throats
W f'l want to congratulate you. Doctor, on the great success I
hear you are having with your throat cases. I myself have attacks
of inflamed throat every winter, can't seem to get rid of them. VV i&li
you would take a look at mine and tell me what to do.
"I guess, Doctor, I will have to Introduce you to Formnmlnt
real good throat antiseptic with which you will keep the soft tis
sues in an almost constant antiseptic bath, because you will find
Formamint pleasant and convenient enough to use frequently. I
find that the averape patient will readily dissolve Formamint in his
mouth every hour or so, and you know how hard it is to get them
to use gargles or sprays consistently, even two or three times a day,
especially children.
"Formamint tablets certainly relieve sore throats and are heading-
off a lot of tonsilliiia for me, but I am even more interested ia
their prophylactic power, and so I am advising my patients to use
them freely during the throat and influenza season to prevent infection.'!
