By the Associated Press. FLORENCE, Ala., December 3.— Henry Ford, Detroit automobile man- ufacturer, and Thomas A. Edison, the electrical vizard, late today inspected the skeleton of the great Wilson dam, !whlch nstitutes the nucleus aroun which Ford proposes to build an in: dustrial empire in_the south. ‘Un arrival here Mr. Ford and Mr. I*.dlx_on proceeded to Wilson dam, ariving through the streets of Flor- ence, where they were cheered. En route to Florence Mr. Ford, in talk- ing to newspaper men who were on his special train, emphasized the fact that he had not in any way changed his original bid for the Muscle Shoals project and that his visit was mainly to allow Mr. Edison to visualize tie | project in its entirety and to verify the original figures. submitted Ford's engineers. Cost Main Difference. The main point of difference be- tween him and the government, Mr. Ford said, lay in the cost of comple- tion of Wilson dam. The estimates by of the Army engineers range from $42,000,000 to $55.,000,000 and- Mr. Ford contends that his original figure of $20.000,000 is ample for the work. The automobile manufacturer declared that his sole interest in Muscle Shoals not commercial. ve want Muscle Shoals.” he said, ecause we want u job—and we jwant to help provide cheap fertilizer ! for the farmers of the nation.” When asked what he knew about nitrates Mr. Ford said: “I don’'t know a thing about nitrates—Mr. Edison is {here to take care of that. We might make: aluminum, we might make cloth, we might make steel or we might make automobile parts—we won't need nearly all the power we will have to make nitrates.” i1t was suggested to Mr. Ford that he was the first of the big northern | capitalists to talk of coming south. The manufacturer leaned forward and said: “I know no lines. I have never known any. The only fault I find with the people of the south is that they {are too darned hospitable. “I «m down here at the request of Secretary Weeks,” Mr. Ford added. “I am figuring for the government, and j [ know that if this dam is completed {it will confer a great benefit on the | whole south. We want to build the dam. We know that we can do it cheaper than the goyernment could and the government knows it. too. We can get all the labor we need on the spot. 1t may be necessary to bring in skilled labor as our industries are developed and our plans take shape. “I will make the only report made on the inspection of Mr. Edison and myself to the government,” he con- tinued. | SEE WHEAT CROP FAILURE | | OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., December !2.—A statement declaring that “pos- sibly growing conditions for wheat had never been worse in this state” and that “even with immediate relief |from the drouth, Oklahoma could not ! produce a fair crop,” was issued here i yesterday by the state board of argi- culture. | The statement declares that in the principal - wheat section of the state the condition of the crop averages 58 per cent, with some of the extreme western districts showing only 35 per cent of normal. k pointed by the President Ap To Egyptian High Court ASPER Y.

The arriving guests, snifing es- caping gases and rendered silent by the nearby clatter of riveters, march- ed along a high platform to the com- pany’s power house and descended a narrow stairway into the boiler. There they found the elaborate luncheon, served by ~a_5th avenue caterer, spread on_a long, narrow table, with seats for fifty. Elbow room was at a premium, but there was no possibility of milady’s coif- feure or hat feathers being spoiled, for the roof, netted with steam tubes, loomed twenty feet above them. Residents of the~colony had com- plained to the corporation that the construction of additional boilers, ‘D, €., DECEMBER 4, 1921 5 with the enormous fireboxes neces- sary to heat them, threatened to mar the beauty and desirability of the neighborhood by beclouding the at- mosphere with smoke and rendering untidy their lawns and roofs “with [, fiying cinders. 7 Officers of the corporation arrang- ed the luncheon to explain that the company is hopeful of reducing the amount of cinders and smoke emit- ted by installation ‘of the latest scientific machinery. The new boller, equipped to burn hard coal, replaces one that has been in use for more than twenty years. MINING NEAR STANDSTILL.

Brown of the Philadelphia municipal court, declared today that many cases of criminal proclivities came from defective vision in child- hood. The Philadelphia jurist, who is an authority upon the juveniie branch of the municipal court, dis- cussed the social menace of poor eyesight as evidenced in the cases coming before his tribunal. “I know that judges and social ‘workers all over the country,” he said, “can cite hundreds of cases where delinquency and anti-social conduct depended not on some | wicked perversity in the child, but { on such a simple thing as vision which needed correction.” !
