SPUR EFFORTS TO END BITTER SHOALS FI6HT Control of Huge Plants Is Sought by Many Interests. BY HARRY W. FRANTZ Unit'd Pre Staff Correatwmdfnl WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Disposition of the $140,000,000 Muscle Shoals nitrate and hydro-electric Power plants will be subjects of extraordinary effort by the present congress prior to adjournment March 4. a decade of debate in congress, Muscle Shoals has become in the public mind a symbol of the Rrcat political struggle between those who favor governmental ownership and operation of public utilities and those who favor private operations. If the Muscle Shoals properties involved only a question of hydroelectric power a compromise might have been effected some years ago, but the question of nitrate production complicated the solution as it presented a second issue between public versus private operation adherents. Control Is Priar The latter questions became politically acute because of farmers’ agitation for cheap fertilizers. Greatest and most valuable of the Physical properties involved in the controversy is the Wilson dam, on the Tennessee river, built at a cost of approximately $47,000,000. Control of this powerful cource is the prize sought by private companies. The other most important properties are Nitrate plants No. 1 and No. 2. No. 1 was built at a cost of approximately $13,000,000. It never ha* actually produced nitrogen, as the war ended before it was ready for operation. Plant No. 2 is a cyanamide plant, which is estimated to have cost between $60,000,000 and $70,000,000. It was intended originally to produce 40,000 tons of nitrogen as ammonium nitrate. Propose New Board Technically, the Muscle Shoals problem is now before a senatehouse conference committee which seeks to effect a compromise between the Reece bill, passed by the house, and the Norris bill, passed by the senate. In general, the senate plan contemplates governmental operation of both power and nitrate plants, 'although the nitrate production is described as intended “for experimental purpose ;.' The house bill proposed to create a board whose primary purpose would be to lease the properties to private citizens and states without additional expense to the government. It would require the production of fertilizer in commercial quantities for sale to the farmer at not exceeding 8 per cent profit and other chemical products useful in national defense.

SHAW, TAGORE PAINT MENACE OF POLITICIANS East and West Agree in Deploring Present Type of Leaders. LONDON, Jan. 9.—George Bernard Shaw, materialistic and stalwart westerner, and Sir Rabindranath Tagore, dreamy and timid poet of the east, met in cosmopolitan London and agreed that politicians constitute a menace of some sort or other. Tagore, addressing the All Peoples Association, deplored the fact that nations are represented by politicians. “It is almost as bad as allowing a band of robbers to organize the police,” the Indian said. Shaw greeted Tagore at a reception after hii speech. “I have always been telling my people not to listen to politicians,” he said. “I have tried to do this in my own writings, but you know what uphill work it is to try to convince people against their own will.” Hemorrhoids How to End Painful Piles Without Salves or Cutting Thousands of Rjje sufferers have learned that quick and permanent relief can only be accomplished with an internal medicine. Neither salves or ointments remove the cause. Bad circulation of the blood in the lower bowel causes piles. The veins are flabby, the bowel walls Weak—the parts almost dead. To end Piles an internal medicine must be used to stimulate the circulation and strengthen the affected parts. Dr. J. S. Leonhardt was the first to discover a real internal Pile remedy. Be called his prescription HEM-ROID. and prescribed it for 1,000 patients with the marvelous record of success in 960 cases, and then decided every Pile sufferer should be able to get HEM-ROID from their own druggist with a rigid moneyback guarantee. Dr. Lconhardt's prescription has a wonderful record of success right in this city and Hook Drug Stores Invite every Pile sufferer to try HEM-ROID and guarantees to refund the purchase price if it does not end all Pile misery.
