4 » MAY SELL POWER AT MUSCLE SHOALS War Department Invites Firms to Witness Tests, I With View to Purchase. By the Associsted Press. The War Department is teking steps to dispose of pewer generated at Musele Shoals during the testing of the main generator units of the plant, | beginning in August and continuing for several months. In conformity with the recently an- nounced policy, no lease of Muscle is will be made, but Maj. Gen. or. the chief of Army engineers, sked a number of firms whether they would be interested in the power resulting from the forthcoming test Number of Firms Invited. The firms and individuals invited to consider purchase of this power were: Henry Ford, the Union Car- bide Co.. New York City; the Penn- sylvenia Railroad System, the Mem- phis Power and Light Co., the South- ern Power Co., the Georgia Rail y ¢ Co.. the Electric Bond ew York City; the Amer nid Co., New York City: e Electric Power Co., the Arkansas Light and Power Co., Pine Bluff, Ark., and the Alabama Power Co. The conditions of sale will include the statement that the Government cannot “undertake to supply a stated | amount of power for any definite period”: that power would be avail- able only during tests and tuning up of equipment, and that the test gen- eration of power would be ‘*‘com. menced or discontinued whenever the officers in charge of the plant con- sider it to the best interests of the Government to do so,” although so far as practicable reasonable notice |t would be given as to the times of operation. It is pointed out, however. that it was anticipated that at times it would be necessary to clore down the plant with little or no notice. Matters to Be Considered. The companies invited to consider the question were informed that a high-tension line connected the hydro- electric plant with the steam plant, but that purchasers of power would have to supply certain apparatus be fore the power could be used. Installa tion and removal of this temporary equipment must be at the expense of the purchaser, but with some recog- nition of that expense to be considered in fixing the unit price of power to be purchased The department’s announeement said that in addition to the firms com municated with, Gen.

LONDON, June 27.—The hansom cab is coming back in Londen, much to the disgust of the taxi drivers. American visitors who en- Joy the romantic feeling of driv- ing about London in one of these old-fashioned conveyances, have a lot to do with the movement. A year ago when the revival he- gan. there weré only 10 of the old-time cabs left in the streets of London. Now there are abeut 70.

The Star’s Automobile Section Is a Mirror of Facts(on the Subject of Motors and Motoring A subject of such universal interest as auto- mobiling has become demands expert consid- eration and frank discussion of its every phase —from cars to traffic regulations. The Star conducts its Automobile Section upon its deserved plane of vital news—in charge of William Ullman, whose impartial observations are reflected in its columns Sun- day after Sunday—and who treats his subject from the standpoint of guidance for public thought along lines of a practical solution of the many problems which confront the mo- torist, concern the pedestrian—and the safety of both. Mr. Ullman has gone deeply into a study of the subject—and draws his conclusions from a careful observation of conditions; and offers his remedial suggestions with a knowledge that gives value to his opinions; inspiring re- spect for his judgment and confidence in The Star’s automobile news. BY HIRAM K. MODERWELL. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News. ROME, June 27.—Italy is surprised Ambassador de Martino's conversation at Washington meant speedy pay- | ment of Ita var debt, especially after De o ant’ statement that Italy further bur- dens, and S assertion that she would & moratorium, perhaps for decades It is felt that De Martino attempted loyally to lay his cards on the table to satisfy American wishes, but that demonstrate suf- ibility of paying ars, Newspapers here comment little on the De Martino conversation. They are cautious about commenting on foreign affairs since the lecture which Mussolini recently _administered to Deputy Guinti in Parliament. It is generally felt that they ave two inseparable obstacles to speedy pay- ment. With the population increas- ing half a million net vearly and emi- gration to America virtually ended, Italy faces the prospect of increasing food importation for many years, while losing one of her chiel sources of income—emigrant remittances. Tariff Hurts Trade. Exports are becoming ever more raised by the chief importing nations. It is asked how Italy can obtain up- ward of $100,000,000 more foreign ex- changs when these two important sources of foreign credits are being obstructed by the action of creditor nations. Payment of American debts on the easiest terms ever sugzgested would add upward of two billion lira to the budget, which has been heroically pared down to 1S billion. Meanwhile | the lira is steadily falling. Opinions differ as to whether funding the American debt would help or dam- age the lira, but it is generally be- lieved the De Martino conversation was damaging.

W. W. R.oyland of the Milwaukee Journal, writing in the Editor and Publisher, gives Mr. Ullman credit as the pioneer in “criticizing cars with the same candor theutrical perform- ances are criticized by a dramatic critic.” Of this the Editor and Publisher says editorially: “Ull.mu_x has written very frankly about motoring and still has the respect, confidence and official indorsement of the Washington Automotive Trade Association.” in the fun-ma 2 -— i If you want to keep cool, do not use | hot words. ! William Atherton Du Puy, writing of William Ullr;mn, “The Motor Scribe,” in the Ohio Motorist, says: “Tbe story of William Ullman is one of those interesting yarns of a man who developed a specialty. He is a writer of automobile news and information, and he has a bigger follow- ing than any other writer in his field; probably because he has earned it by delivering the goods, Ullman thus became automobile editor and found what he considered to be a very unwholesome state of affairs in the making of automobile sections of newspapers. He foufxd that if a dealer bought some advertising space he felt he was entitled to a reading notice. Dealers were supplied with these notices by the manufacturers. Automobile sec- tions were filled with this sort of matter. It was neither news, information nor entertain- ment. It gave little consideration to the reader and the sort of things he wanted to read. This Ullman said was wrong. He intended to go out and get actual news and facts for his section which compared with the news and information printed in the other columns of the paper. He would ask himself what it was the reader wanted to know about automobiles and motoring, and would fill his section with that sort of copy. 21.St' Anniversary| Q Coupon good, for e OTORLENE o ith, eve s f}"e gfllo»ls ROIOR~GAS Columbi Gaso H}P&é SaturdaH “Sundg Juyer 27-28 Qt the corner of 7248 sps.

He guides the motorist toward saving his shekels by wise tricks in gaso- line conservation. He counsels with him on the wisdom of road generalship when towing. He advises with him upon the new accessories to take along when he fares afield on wheels. The idea is right.” i Under the editorial direction of Mr. Ullman, The Star’s Automobile Section is intensaly interesting; thoroughly reliable—and because it is automobile and accessories dealers find The Star a profitable medium through which to advertise their products—reaching as it does not only practically everybody in Washington—but a public that has become well - formed on motor topics through its presentation of the subject.
