; Illinois. Defeats New Constitution .J? Illinois repudiated the product of a constitu- , tional convention with such emphasis that the whole country was surprised at the, outcome. Not only in Chicago, where opposition wras manifest , because of features that seemed to antagonize vjts population but elsewhere in the state the .-Voters slaughtered the instrument with vehemence and determination. The draft contained many features which are

regarded as progressive and an ' over the handiwork of the fathers y original basic law of . the state, but

f Some of the defenders of the measure, in --explaining the adverse verdict, believe some

'4. features would have been retained if the consti- ' .tutional convention had presented it in separate .sections. Then, the voters might have defeated obnoxious sections, and retained those of merit. f" The Chicago Post, which warmly advocated

'the proposed draft, asks:

"With the fetters of the old constitution 'fastened anew upon the limbs of Chicago and v. the state; with an antiquated system of taxation which encourages perjury, retained; with ;:an outgrown judicial system continued; with Chicago denied home rule and the right to make its own charter; with the liberalized amending 'provision rejected, it is proper to ask what those

WHERE FREEDOM REIGNS SUPREME - By George Matthew Adams

Whenever you get mixed up in your thoughts about God and life. I suggest that -you walk out into the night alone and take a long look at the stars. I often do this and I arwaya come back to myself in better heart, stronger, fuller of understanding, larger in faith. Did it ever occur to you that the stars never go out that they shine as truly by day as night? With this difference, that the light of the sun being greater for the day, their glitter is dimmed until the sun "goes down." Which brings out this fact that it takes darkness to show up the st3.is And it takes darkness to show up God, to reveal beauty, and to teach us how we should walk in the light, when it comes. It takes darkness to show up a man, too! As in the night we look up into the faces of the stars and learn lessons that have been there for billions of years, so may we go back from the dark nights of our experiences to the sun-streamed days of our happiest moments and find renewed faith awaiting to lead us on. Darkness is necessary to bring out the glitter of the stars. In like manner must we become acquainted with grief, treat the wine press of sorrow and adversity, that character may have a meaning in this workaday world.

The conviction is growing that the people do not believe it wise to make changes in their fundamental laws in a time of unrest. They want to stay with the tested and tried methods during a transition period. Illinois demonstrated this pretty conclusively by its action on the proposed constitution.

Who's Who in the Day's News WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS William Butler Yeats, the Irish poet and dramatist who boasted once that he had never voted in his life and added that "a man cannot do his duty to art and wallow i m the dirty stream of politics at the same time," is to be among the 30 members of the new Irish senate to be appointed by the president of the Irish Free State, according to present indications. Yeats is known in America as one of the foremost writers in the Irish ?chool. He visited im. &. yeats the United States not many moaths ago to give a series of lectures in many of the larger cities. He was bora in Dublin in June, 1865. Educated at the Godolphin School in Hammersmith and at Erasmus Smith School in Dublin he studied at for three years but left art for' literature when he was 21. He married in 1917 and has one daughter. His plays have received popularity in this country through their production by Theater Guilds, little theatres and other dramatic groups of the noncommercials type. Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason YOUTH AND AGE When I was young my trenchant pen for all reforms was strong; I looked upon my fellowmen, and saw them headed wrong; vice reigned triumphant in its den, while virtue limped along. Abuses of a hundred sorts were thick as they could be; I called upon all dead game sports to upset things with me; and writing fluid, quarts on quarts, 'I spilled, to make men free. Where fell corruption bared its fang like Nemesis I'd tread; and no one semed to care a hang for anything I said; men listened to my wild harangue and bade me bake my head. I look back from the heights of age, where I serenely rest, and wonder at the foolish rage that used to fill my breast ; a deadly warfare I would wage, for things that were a jest The evils that aroused my ire are all forgotten now; the dragon, with its breath of fire, turned out to be a cow; it's wiser to assault a lyre, some wreaths upon my brow. Where are the windmills I would storm, all armored for the fray? Where are the issues, throbbing, warm, of that dim. distant day?

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today The city started the first three months of 1913 with $30,000 or more in the general fund. The last year the fall taxes amounted to $67,703.11, but because of delinquencies the amount had not been figured for the current year, though it was. known that .ths sum would exceed that amount. The sum of $25,000 has already beet drawn from .taxes of last fall.

Progress at Muscle Shoals Government Spending $600,000 a Month to Complete Foundation Excavating of Gigantic Dam.

Br FREDERICK J. II SKIN WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 15. The general public may not be aware of it, but the great power plant at Muscle Shoals has not been abandoned while congress bickers and dickers over the question of accepting Henry Ford's proposal to take it over and complete it as a private enterprise. Work is going steadily forward on the construction of the big Wilson dam under the direction of government, engineers and reports received in Washington show that rapid progress is being made. ' Government funds are being expended at the rate of $600,000 a month and more than 1,501 men are now engaged in a race against time and the Tennessee river. The race is to complete a complicated job of coffer damming and foundation excavating and laying before the winter floods come that would seriously interfere with the task, and prospects are said to be excellent that the elements will be circumvented. When this section is finished only one foundation section will remain to be dug and poured and the engineers plan to put it in next summer and complete it before flood time next December. Meanwhile work is being pushed on the upper portions of the dam and it is estimated that the com pleted job will be ready in a little over two years. Of even greater importance and interest to the public is the assurance that the work now being done represents the cheapest and best construction that has been accomplished since the project was started. Wages are far below tlio?e psid under war-time conditions and the number of men emI ployed is being limited by the strictest I consideration of economy and efficiency. Originally, it is said, there i were so many men on the job that they got in each other's way snd wage rates were little short of scandalous. That labor costs are now at a minimum is indicated by the fact that common labor is being paid only $1.'0 to $2,00 a day. Water boys received substantially more than that when the war emergency was on. Work Stopped Two Years Ago Work was stopped at Muscle Shoals more than two years ago when congress refused to provide any additional funds, but last spring this decision was reversed and the resumption of operations was made possible by an appropriation of $7,500,000. To this sum an additional half million wa made available by a presidential order trans ferring certain unexpended appropriation balances to Muscle Shoals construction uses. Approximately $6,000,000 of these funds are left and it is expected that this will suffice to carry on the work at the present rate of expenditure until next September. By that time congress will probably have made further provision for the project. On July 19 last when the construction work was renewed the engineers estimated that the Wilson dam was 35 per cent completed, that 39 per cent of the necessaryv materials had been purchased and that 40 per cent of the cost of the whole job bad been laid out. Simple Way To End Dandruff There is one sure1 way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do 'this; just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is ail you will need), apply it at right when retiripg; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy ever tingle sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. Advertisement.

Movie of a Man Arriving This dam is the big feature of the -Muscle Shoals - power project and is expected to develop 600,000 horsepower. There has now been expended on it $19,000,000 out of a total estimated cost of $45,500,000, and before it is finished it will be necessary for congress to provide something over $20,t)00,0OO in addition to the funds now available. There are two other dams in the operation, but No. 1 will be for navigation purposes only and will cost only a million and a quarter. Dam No. 3, 17 miles up the Tennessee from Wilson dam, which is officially No. 2, has not been started as yet. It is expected to develop 200,000 horsepower. When Wilson dam is finished it will be one of the engineering wonders of the world. More concrete is being poured in its construction than 'was required in building the famous Assuan dam on the River Nile, and 1,260,000 cubic yards of masonry will be required as compared with 1,179,000 for Assuan. The work is divided into sections and of the foundation sections 56 out of SS are done, while half of the remainder will be finished this year. inree diocks out ot a total of 91 in the spillway section are finished to the l iver crest of 4S3 feet, and on the large island in the middle of the river which is crossed by the dam 19 blocks are! completed to a height of 460 feet. The foundation level is at "404 feet and the superstructures will rise 121 feet above that so that the roadway on the top of the completed dam will be 525 feet. Residents Wonder About Future The Muscle Shoals region might well be -called "The Land of If" at this time, for the people there are living in a haze in which everything they say and plan is predicted on the magic word of two letters that is pregnant ofj all of hope and fear. Their recovery from the slough of despondency into which they were plunged a year ago and their future prosperity, as they see it, all depend on "if" the great project is completed, but more essentially on "if" it is turned over to Henry Ford and the Detroit magician is given an opportunity to demonstrate the wonders he can perform. Naturally the spirit of speculation is rampant and land values are soaring. Florence, the small town near the base of the Wilson dam, is regarded by its people as a potential metropolis of nnywhere from 100,000 to 1,000,000 intnKitTTitc:.

The same story may be told of Sheffield and Tuscumbia. The spirit of the Muscle Shoals people is unquestionably for Ford, according to a recent report from there. "They base their real hopes of wealth on Henry Ford, whom they regard as the Midas of Industry, the man whose touch means gold. They believe that if his offer for Muscle Shoals is accepted money will "flow into their coffers with the speed of water rushing through the sluiceways of the colossal dam. "They have tables made out showing the thousands Ford will bring for this and will come for that, et cetera. Maybe that's why Henry Ford's picture has replaced that of Rudolph Vanentino and General Pershing in the hotels and barbershops thereabouts. If he doesn't get it there will be many disappointed brides and 'grooms and many pickaninnies named in vain." This was said by way of comment on the statement that the enthusiasts down there are making all their plans and dates contingent upon if or when Ford shall become the arbiter of their destinies.

man who was Buffering from a bad appendix had promised himself and his family that he would go to a hospital and have his operation just as soon as the government turned Muscle Shoals over to Ford. Observers in Washington will in cline to the belief that it will be a long time before the man gets rid of has offending appendix if he adheres to that determination. The opposition in congress to the Ford proposal has always been formidable and It has not been lessened by the inereasing evidence that Ford has presidential aspiration and will shy his hat into the ring in 1924, and there is little disposition here to do anything that might boost his political game. However, it is just possible that the counter idea might obtain that the best way to keep Ford out of politics would be to give him an industrial contract or job that would require all his time and attention.
