Will Taylor, who said he would be delighted to introduce in Gongress lighted to Introduce In Congress tion to cover the Federal government's portion of the cost of tha Rcpresentaive Taylor said he considers this proposal to be the most progressive event in the recent history of Tennessee.

"I believe a highway like that proposed by Governor Horton will be necessary to accommodate the millions of tourists who will come to the Smoky mountains as soon aa the national park la opened," said Representative Taylor. 'It is a stupendous project, but Its benefits will be so great to the people of Tennessee that It will be well worth all that It may cost. From a national point of believe "the peoplo of the whole nation deserve to a highway like that into the most wonderful playground and area of scenic grandeur this side of the Mississippi. People from all parts of America already are' visiting the Great Smoky mountains in enormous numbers. Unless a road like that proposed by Governor Horton Is built thousands of people will never be able to reach the national park.

"At the. next session of Congress I shall be delighted to introduce a bill in- the House of Representatives providing for an appropriation to pay one-half the cost of construction of this highway." pledgee to limit revision to the farmer's interest Unless the bill is kept within these limits he sees ft poslbtlity of the 1J21 tariff splitting -the -Republican-party aa the Payne-Aldrlch measure helped do in 1909. The Idaho senator also sees little, chance of the measure benf adopted and sent to the President before the regular-session in December. If the controversy is carried over into the regular session tt will take far more time to enact what will be known as the Haw ley-Smoot bill and what waa proia- lsed as only a limited revision; measure than it to place the present law on the statute book seven years ago. Two weeks after the Senate begins floor discussions of the bill on September 4 the eight months and thirteen days required for the 1099.

World Honors Eckener Celebrating 7 Birthday Friedrichshafan, Aug. 11 On na tive aoll, in his own city, Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the globe girdling Graf Zeppelin celebrated the sixty-first anniversary of his birth today. Aa a matter ot record, the birth day occurred on the calendar yes terday, the day when he termin ated In triumph the first phase ot the expedition around the world. Even before the vast vessel swoopel to rest in the air port here, the commander was leiKiiaicu congratulates on his age by the passengers and crew of the Zep.

But today, after the first serene full night's sleep that the comman der has enjoyed in many days, the real celebration ot his birthday was staged. And it was staged so simply so quietly that those un familiar with the commodore's character. It scarcely seemed celebration at all. Frau Eckener rr prepared the birth day party at the Eckener home, baking an old-fashioned birthday cake with her hands and adorning it with heavy frosting surmounted by 61 candles. There were gifts of course, but none ostentatious, none costly, and some were home made, like the cake itself.

But it was not the carpet-slipped birthday of an aging man it was the anniversary of a man who was receiving the age of 61 years the plaudits of the world on an achievement that 'placed him in a class with Christopher Columbus and Charles Lindbergh. In vain, this miraculous mariner sought to shut the doors of his home on the applause of the universe. It beat reverberatingly against the portals, the echos rattled the windows and the air Itself seemed charged with the world's good will. From over, all the oceans came messages of congratulation and every land was represented in the expressions of good will assuredly. Dr.

Eckener rose in his flight to as high a place in history and the heart of the world, as the Graf Zeppelin carried him In the airl Among seamen, especially English-speaking seaman, the captain of the ship is affectionately called "the old man" and so they may have called Commander Eckener when he guided ships through the aceaiU-iuLthe jjrew jflthe Graf he is unaged and ageless. He's the doctor! The boss! The man who knows and gained his knowledge through years of experience that served to strengthen his body and refine his mind and equip him with more than youth can possess when a great Job is to be done.

Governor Horton's announce ment of his proposal for a highway from Knoxviile to the Great Smoky Mountains National park was given to the Knoxviile Journal for publication Sunday aa follows: "The development of the Great Smoky Mountains National park has been always uppermost in my mind. The park cannot mean to the nation and to the state what it should mean unless it is connected with Knoxviile by a geat highway. "I want the state to do its part in constructing a great highway to be known aa the Volunteer State Memorial Highway, and dedicated to Tennessee's soldiers and sajlors who have volunteered their ser-Ices in all wars. ''Such a highway should have rlght-of-wav three hundred feet In. width.

it should Aa a pavement thirty-six feet on each side of a large neutral plot, in whlcii at Intervals monuments and memorials are erected to Tennessee's great volunteers. Typical Tennessee trees should be planted on each side of this highway, so as to make it a mecca to lovers of the beautiful and to all who revere the deeds of our great dead. "I think the Federal government should bear one-half the cost of such a highway, and if it will do so the state will cooperate with It by paying eighty per cent of the remaining cost if the counties through which such highway would run would pay the other twenty per cent. In the event the Federal and county governments should co-operate as herein indicated, the state department of highways would devote sufficient funds to tho purposes of this highway to pay the part indicated by me. I have conferred with Con gressman J.

6. In all charts a common characteristic is That the line descends steadily from the level of 1910, or thereabouts to a low record In 1920, the year prohibition went Into effect, and there takes an immediate turn upward again, continuing almost steadily to tha present Statistics Are Tabulated. AU figures presented are tabulated from combined statistics of all states available. One chart la given showing the alcoholic death rate for 18,000,000 industrial life insurance policy holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York, The statement points outv that these figures should present a fairly accurate cross-section of the American working public, and that they should answer, the question of whether the dry law is aiding or hindering conditions In these classes. In 1911 there were four deaths to every 100,000 policy holders; in 1912, 6.2; in 1916, In 1917, 4.8 In 1918.

in 1919, 1.5; in 1920, 0.6. From that time on, however, there was a sharp increase for three years, no appreciable change for the next year. Further Increase for two more years, and a slightly downward trend for the past two years. The figures for 1928 was about S.2 per 100,000 policy holders. in the matter of arrests for In toxication, the statement today points out that there is much argu ment on this point, prohibitionists claiming that present high figures are assignable to an Increased ac tivlty on the part of the police, and dry law opponents claiming tnat police are even more lax about drunkenness arrests now than they were before prohibition.

Chicago' la Out In its figures, the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment leaves out the city of Chicago on the ground that Its figure for liquor arrests is unduly large due to ne culiar conditions, and contents it self with statistics from 388 cities, snowing tnat in 1914 520,367 ar rests were made for intoxication, the figure dropping to a low mark of 235,612 in 1920, only to rise steadily again to a present ngure or 557.369. The statement asserts that these figures seem to indicate that the gross: arrestfor intoxicationnow exceed those of 1914. It adds: "This, however, is misleading because no allowance is made for the Increase In population." ii continues, However, by presenting a chart of arrests for in toxication based upon an arrest per-populatlon basis, which shows the inevitable v-line. with the year i'jzo at tne low point. Tne statement concludes that all the figures support each other in tnat they all take the same general trend, sinking to the most advan tageous point at about 1920, and then rising again steadily throuarh the prohibition years to the present time.

Nathalia Crane, Child Poet, Reaches Aee of 1 6 at GirIsCamp (Continued from First Page) "Ciccatrlce, Dinosaur, Cantracice, and Parasang," not to mention Sistrum, which latter sent every body except the New York Times' oldent critic sidling towards the dictionary. Another well-wisher thought maybe Nathalia had spent the year in taking a will-power course to overcome her timidity In answer Ing critics. In her younger days. when she was all of 12 and had only two volumes of verse to her credit "The Janitor's Boy" and Lava Lane," Nathalia had an un pleasant experience with some critics. A half dozen of them, headed bv the August Edwin Mark- ham, hinted that they did not be lleve Nathalia had written the books, Nathalia meekly replied in her next volume, "The Singing Crow," But Nathalla's parents, knocked all the theories In the head by asserting that Nathalia had merely been spending the year writing her second novel.

It will be full length, and the scenes are laid in New fork City and a New England country town. The name will he "An Allen From Heaven," and since It will be published In October, Nathalia isn't really slipping after all. She and her publishers merely want to get the full benefit 'of the Christmas trade. In "Who's Who In New York," the thin little girl with the dark, curly bobbed hair, is described as "a poetess and student at Brooklyn Heights It la also mentioned that she won the $500 Lindbergh flight poetry contest in competition with 3,000 poets, many of them with whiskers as long as Edwin Markham's. It Is also mentioned that her full name Is Nathalia" Clara Ruth Abarbanel Crane.

Now that she Is 16 maybe she wilt use all of It. Britain Refuses To Yield Ground On Young Plan (Continued from First Page) have been mostly concerned with what will happen if the conference falls. The first eventuality taken Into consideration is the probability that Germany will cease paying reparations under the Dawes plan on September first.
