B. Mayo, chief engineer and personal spokesman for Henry Ford, today notified the house military committee investigating the Ford offer for purchase and lease oS €e Muscle Shoals, government-owned properties “that Mr. Ford had made the best offer he could. The statement was accepted by the committee as reaffirming Mr. Mayo's declaration that Mr. Ford would no material alteretion in plaz. ‘The investigation was continued to- day with Mr. Wayo facing a rapid fire Miler, Republican, Representative lieved the cost to the government for maintenarce of the locks and dams would be excess <f the $35,000 a year Mr. Ford would pay under his of fer and asserted that “all the time you will be getting an additional benefit of 230,000 horsepower a year from the éams.” “That ts not ef any particular val- Mr. Mayo said. “But ft is available for you if you accept any his proposed interrogation by Representative Washington. want 7" countered Mr. Miller. “At $18 per horsepo' a year, a reasonable rate to sell power,” Mr. Miller continued, “your tncome would be $4,140,000 a year from the primary horse power alone.” “The secondary power, valued at one-third of the primary power, would “pring you $4,260,000 a year more,” re- marked Mr. Miller. “You're figuring on a horse power yearly basis, which is wrong,” Mr. Mayo insisted. By another calculation, Mr. Miller reduced the income from sale of sec- ondary power to $1449000 which, f yesterday ;be said, was $200,000 more than Mr. Ford would pay the government. “The government invited Mr. Ford to make this offer,” asserted the wit- nessa. “You will have to take it or leave it at its face Value.” 8 The engineer then explained that the horse power referred to by Mr. Miller would not be sold under Mr. Ford's plan but would be used to cheapen the price of materials to be manufactured at the plants. Representative Parker, Republican, New Jersey, then asked if Mr. Ford would be wilting to give a guarantee that he would not mortgage the prop- erties. “I believe Mr ~ would be will- ing to do anything of that kind to protect the government‘s interests,” Mr. Mayo answered. In response to a question as to what Mr. Ford's intentions were with ref erence to supplying agricultural needs of the country, Mr. Mayo anid: “It has been his dream to make fertilizers so low that everybody can use all he w Ho also hopes to make raw mat .als at a lower price for the tractors end trucks and thus reduce their costs.” Representative Quinn, Democrat, Missiasipp!, attacked committee mem- bers, who he said, had attempted to read things into Mr. Ford's contract “that plainly weren't there.” AMATEURS IN VALENTINE PRESENTATION SCORE STAGE TRIUMPH Spontaneous appreciation of the successful program which was staged by Miss Ethel Mann assisted by her puplis as a feature valentine party at the Iris theater last night brought out crowds which taxed the spacious auditorium to capacity and overflow- ed the lobby until it was necessary ' to stage a second program to ac- commodate the crowd which waited patiently for over an hour to view the feature numbers. At the close of the first perform- ance the appearance of the Misses Marion and Ethel Mann. was the inceutive for applause for these stars which lasted several minutes. The entire program of 16 features went off without a hitch and each number in order, including the @ance, vocal and instrumental num- bers added to the effectiveness and completeness of the program. ‘Two speaking stars scint!lated on ‘the program last night in the per- sons of Little Miss Bleanor Burwell and Mis- Alico Mechling, who re- estved the ovation of the crowd at their first public appearance. Both appeared in reading numbers as the students of Mrs. E. E. Fisher, who opened a school of expression and dramatic art in Casper in January. ‘These two stars featured the initial appearance of Mrs. Fisher's students and their creditable performance paid tribute to their training and teacher. ‘The program opened with a solo number, “La Zingana” as iy interpreted by Miss Ethel Mann, in @ solo dance number. Miss Evelyn Patten and Miss Bet- ty Weiderhold, starred in a duet, “Black and White.” These two tiny mjsses demonstrated the effective- ness of the Marn school and were called back for several encores. Little Miss Jean Wisner appeared a master interpretative dancing in a solo number responsive to the spir- it of the occasion “A Valentine Dance. “Kiss a Miss” a dance duct was interpreted prettily by the Misses Madalyn Tobin and Florence John- son. Elaine Meyers captured the audi- ence of both performances with her WHEN HER BACK ACHES A Woman Finds All Her Energy and Ambition Slipping Away.

FOR RET—Six-room house. “Sandbar” di Inquire Tail unfurnished rict; W. J AT IRIS clever Interpretation of the “Dance of the Raindrops.” Miss Margaret Grisiner, decked in a classical Cossack uniform, starred in Russian Mazurka in which real talent was exhibited. The Misses Eileen Butler and Ber- nice Young were featured in a sem!- classical toe duet using artistic poise and dances to interpret “Turkey Home Jazz.” Professionals entered the pi in the persons of Miss Elsie Hughes instructress at the Arkeon acadamy and J. R. Binan, instructor at the Terrace Gardens. The number was fox trot and they interpreted the late waltzes in the encore number. Alice Mechling scored here in a reading “A Young Man Waited.” “Carmena” by Wilson was sung by Mrs. P. W. Frank, with “Mam- my's Song” by Ware as an encore number. Mrs. Frank's beautiful so- Prano voice was well received. “When we haven't said our Pray- ers" was the title of a reading by Eleanor Burwgll. The tiny speak er was encored several times and responded gracefully and with the stage presence of a veteran, Appropriate and beautiful cos- tumes were featured in the chorus dance, huge red valentine hearts constituting the feature. The chor- us was well trained and even to the tiniest of the dancers Little Charline Hanway, interproted beautifully the musical accompaniment. The French Gavotte, & duet, tnter- preted by the Misses Helen and Mar- tha Gerber, was @ classic bit which won the house. Eileen Mishica, the tiny cupid of the performance appeared in “Cup id's Dance” and displayed real artis- tic talent for a child of her spare years. Decked in pink tights with huge flapping wings and carrying. the fatal love bow the child typified the spirit of cupid. A dainty minuet In which the dan- cers appeared, backed by the huge valentin stage effect and fancy lighting added an effective chapter to the entertainment. The dancers luded, Helen and Martha Gerber, Bernice Young and Eileen Butler, Catherine Picigett and Marjo Nowell; Betty Weiderhold and Eve. lyn Patter, Elaine Meyers and Flor- ence Johnson. The program was concluded with a too duet, “Old Fashioned Garden” in which Misses Marion and Ethel Mann were featured. This num- ber was staged during the ensemble. The beautiful costumes, care and arrangement of the program and the elaborate stage effects combined with the artistic numbers of the pro- gram to make it one of the most suc- cessful events of its kind ever staged here.
