Muscle Shoals appears determined to muscle in on the Federal treasury, while the hounds are baying.

Our Jewels We sat in a picture house the other night and saw and heard talkie discussions of the WIckersham report, among them being Senator Brookhart, Congressman LaGuardia, and former Gov. Al Smith. And we could not help but think as we viewed their countenances and heard their voices, to say nothing of their arguments, there are our jewels of today; these are our statesmen! The world looks upon these men as typical and leading Americans! A little salt on the asparagus bed sort of Harts off the spring chores with the proper seasoning. The Solicitor We believe that the office of city solicitor, which has been ably filled for the past several years by Judge-elect Savord, is the most important position In the gift of the municipality, except that of city manager. It is the direct legal management of the biggest business in Sandusky, which is Sandusky herself.

The burden of appointing a successor to Judge Savord falls upon the shoulders of the city oornmissioners for early action. The names of numerous Sandusky lawyers have been mentioned for the post. We are confident the commissioners, alert to the best needs Of tht city, will concentrate their powers and name an able attorney, in every way qualified, for the Job. An excellent field presents itself; well qualified men are either aspirants or in a receptive mood. And it is hoped that the best interests of the city will supercede every other qualification, when it comes to making a choice.

The job was ably handled by Judge Savord. Whoever the new man may be, he will not be the value to the city at the start, that mer official, through long experience, has been. It would be in accord with the times to start the salary at a lower figure than is now paid, to be increased as experience made the official more valuable. And it would save the city 'money at' a time when saving counts. An Ohio woman lived with her husband 29 years before she learned they had been divorced, indicating that cave ain't what they used to be.

Tdttey Bp ARTHUR BR1SBANM A gasoline price war holds public Interest the mofnent in Los Angeles. Standard oil of California 's cut of two cents, made to meet the erratic price cutting, will be followed by deeper cuts by other companies. The oil situation is bad. and an elimination process will gradually weed out weaker sisters. Then consumers that have been buying gas too cheap will even up matters by paying too much.

The act preventing common sense business arrangements make conditions worse. Some American companies demand an embargo on oil from foreign countries. Powerful companies that own inexhaustible subterranean "lakes of oil" in Venezuela and elsewhere oppose the bargo. They want to bring in their cheap forelgfi oil. They are protecting this country's interest, perhaps without knowing or Caring.

An embargo would hasten the exhaustion of American wells, putting consumers and the mother-industry at the mercy of foreign well owners. What that would mean the country learned whei Britain controlled rubber and regulated the price. President Hoover vetoed the soldiers' bonus bill, expressing his sincere conviction that the bill would be harmful to the country and the men. Repassage on the bill over the veto will, perhaps, decide whether the President and Mr. Mellon or congressmen and service men Were right.

Many believe that making it possible for 3,000,000 men to spend a billion and a half of dollars quickly will helo business and not ruin Uncle Sam. He found $10,000,000,000, quickly enough, when foreign nations wanted the money and survived that, although many of the billions will never come back from Europe. Still Talking About It The national prohibition director, according the documents used by the Wickersham committee and now filed with Congress, says that prohibition cannot be enforced and suggests "home option" as a possible solution. That is, if one desires to make and keep home-made wines, home-brewed beer, home distilled liquor, do so, so long as there is no traffic in the stuff or the home does not become a place resort. That smacks of nullification.

How in the name of common sense could officials differentiate between a home that had a cellarful for'their' own use and one, that made it for sale? It gives too great an opportunity to blow hot, blow cold, fish of one and fowl of another. And why would it be worse for a man to purchase good liquor than to make bad liquor? And Mrs. Wlllebrandt, former government attorney and mountain of strength for the dry cause, who has since become attorney for western wine growers, argues that wines should be allowed. Nullification again. Why not try making it just as felonious to purchase the stuff as it is to sell it? That would take his customers away from the bootlegger.

That would give positive enforcement on both the selling and buying sides. If the law is good, it would stick; if it be bad, it would not take long to repeal it, Such a plan would speedily get the matter down to brass tacks. The judges of all the courts appear to agree that the 18th amendment is water' tight, but what is needed is something to make it liquor-tight also. First Things First Experts down state prison say that a test shows Wilbur Hand, Toledo bank robber, has the mind of a child of 12 and the temperament of an excited woman One of the pleas for the saving of the life of Irene Schroeder, was that the woman had a mania to kill and her will power was too weak to fight against the impulse to lead a criminal life. Are these not excellent reasons for the personalities either to be behind bars, or to pay the extreme penalty, if they have been guilty? Is it not r.

crime against society to let them roam at large? A grown man, up to his year's physically, but only half the years mentally, is a direct menace to any community in which he lingers. Th this man Hand did nothing worse than rob a bank, is strange indeed, Worse might have been expected. Of course most criminals are mentally defective or mentally lop-sided; their gears do not mesh properly; one set runs too fast and the other set too slow. But that Is al' the more reason for segregating them and removing them from the pathways jaf normal men and women. Let us get first things first, and give our first sympathy to the families bereft of a toved one through the uncontrolled spasm of 901110 mental (defective who may stalk abroad all unsuspected.

The victim is the one that public sympathy, not the culprit. Billy Sunday, at whose name gorgons and chimeras dire, yes, even Satan himself, shiver and shake, refuses an enormous sum offered for moving picture work. He makes a mistake, neglecting to put conversion and saving of souls on a production basis, His speeches lash sinners, and describe hell in a way to keep you awake, searching your conscience. But what are words, compared with sight. Seeing is believing.

Irving Thalberg of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer would make a picture of hell in action, the arch fiend devouring sinners at each of his three the horrid dog Cerberus' with his assorted barks, the terrible hag. swallowing her young, and the sawdust paths of repentant would be crowded. Billy Sunday's voice would be heard, above the crackling of flames, and the wailing of the sinners saying "I told you so." What an opportunity. And at the end, a elbse-up of Billy Sunday, and "Ma," Sunday, their work on earth done, rising to glory, a million angels crowding to congratulate them, saying, "It's thanks to you, Billy, that I am up here, instead of down there." If you have four things, Intelligence, energy, money, and interest in the welfare of others, you can do good work. Mrs.

Greenway of Tucson, has the four. She started a furniture factory for ex-service men not sick enough for a hospital, but needing recuperation in a perfect climate. That did much good. Then she built and is running a Tucson hotel, made up of separate bungalows, all furniture made by the service men, and all for sale to guests. Just at present the place is packed; but try to go there anyhow, if you go to Tucson.

If you do not. you make a mistake. Such a woman as Mrs. Greenway, finding a way to help men injured in their country's service, working hard, with no profit and little thanks for herself should be at least praised. Mr.

"Pepper," Tucson's king of all newsboys, assures you that Mrs. Greenway is "an incomparable lady," putting the accent on "incomparable," on the antepenultimate syllable, "par." "She-gave me," says he, "two tickets for the opera that cost at least $5 apiece. "It ivas called 'the Walker' and say, you never heard that kind of music In your life." This indorsement of his Walkure would gratify Wagner. Copyright, 1931 Skis equopped with small wheels have been invented for use on dry ground or streets. MARK BAH-RON New Yorker's Daybook By MARK BARRON NEW YORK, Feb.

jigger is the best friend of New York hotel managers, especially in the Times Square and Bowery sections where guests are prone to leave their bills unpaid. A jigger is a key which has the handle sawed off. When an unwelcome guest leaves his room, the jigger is fitted into the lock of the door so the guest not get back in unless the manager consents. Guests sometimes remain in their rooms for a week without leaving, that If they do they will return to find the jigger in their door. One young fellow, a writer who hasn't yet turned out "the great novel" has been marooned In his room for nearly a week because he can't pay his bill.

He lives in one of those hotels which has a radio in every room. One day he turned on his radio and someone was singing "How'd you like to take a walk." He quickly shut it off. The next day he started the radio again and the same song was being sung. The same thing happened a third day. Now the fellow thinks the hotel is broadcasting him an invitation over the radio so he keeps it shut off.

EUROPE SEES U. S. Incidents sometimes happen which make one wonder if Europeans haven't the same idea of America that New Yorkers have of Hollywood. For instance, there is "Grand Hotel," unquestionably the biggest hit Broadway has had since "Strange Interlude." When Vlcki Baum, the German author; sent over the original manuscript she sent along a new third act. It was labeled "A new third act with happy ending for America." When production began the manager approached a movie official and asked for Marine Pletrich to play the leading role.

The official refused, saying that "Dietrich isn't a good actress. We're just waiting until her contract runs out and then we're going to ship her back home to Germany." Two days later her first picture, "Morocco," opened and Marlene Dietrich became Broad' way's most sensational attraction. NOTES OF THE DAY Unemployed are branching out with their street corner counters. They have added sidelines of oranges, tangerines ana" chocolate. Any moment we expect one of them to add a quick lunch counter.

A new song has the unbelievable title of "She's a Gentle Genteel Gentile, But She's Kosher to Me." Ronald Colman became disgusted with the stage when Jeanne Eagels once refused to have him as her leading man. So he went into the movies. Spring must be just around the comer in New York. Pent house gardeners have begun shopping for seeds and bulbs. Roy McCardell's family novels are based on actual people and happenings.

About ytjuftg men seeing visions and old ones dreaming dreams overlooks one compensating factor of old ftge. Sometimes age sees the visions of youth realized; dreams have come true. So it is with that dignified, courtly and much admired elder statesman of the House, Henry Allen Cooper of Wisconsin, veteran of them all.

Almost a ago he had much to do with legislation that brought Into being down on the banks of the Potomac that classic tribute to the Great Emancipator, the Lincoln memorial. On the day that authors memorial was accomplished Cooper arose in the House to draw ft word- picture for his colleagues as to what it would look like. "I give it as'my judgment, after having seen many of the Important memorials of Europe and some in Asia, that nowhere will there be another so simple, beautiful, dignified and effective," Cooper said. And who that has viewed Lincoln memorial as it stands today will deny the Wisconsin lawmaker prophetic vision in these words? He has lived, at 81 years, to see a dream of a double decade ago come true. SEES NEW VISION Nor has Henry Cooper at 81 ceased to see youthful visions.

He sees now prosaic street, northwest, a street of many architectural, adventures down along the edge of The Mall in "Foggy Bottom," Avenue, a tribute to the constitution itself. Cooper holds that document to be second in its blessings to mankind only to establishment of Christianity. Somewhere along that avenue which will be, he says, without rival in the world for impres- slveness, Cooper now visions a Jefferson memorial. JEFFERSON'S "It should, of course, contain a statue of the immortal author of the Declaration of Independence," he says. "But most important of all, the law for its erection should expressly command that on the exterior above the principal entra'nee, in large letters of bronze overlaid with gold leaf, shall be these words: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

1 "And the law should contain express provision that these words on the memorial shall every night be illuminated so that they may never be in darkness, but always, in the daytime and in the night, be plainly legible. "Such a memorial would be the very of Jeffersoa. Who can measure the good It would do to have him thus speaking, day and night, to his countrymen? And-now, if ever, the world needs to hear him." Will Henry. Cooper live to see that vision, too, come true? He looks as hale and hearty an octogenarian as you could wish to see. Looking Backward (From The Register's Files) NOW FOR THE NEXT STEP FORTY YEARS AGO John Cullen will resume his former position on the police force today.

His appointment will be presented to the council for confirmation at the next regular meeting. The smiling countenance of ex-Policeman Joe Groff is permanently visible on the front platform of a motor car. Joe has the crank of the car under complete control but the cranky ways of local politics were more than he could overcome. The city florist, Mr. Birkmeyer, is having much trouble in keeping the fountain at the foot of Columbus-av in good shape on account of the people walking on the grass and allowing dogs to swim in the reservoir and chase the loon and fish that have been placed there to ornament the place.

Stories From Old Ohio By J. H. GALBRAITH (for the Associated AN EXPEDITION AGAINST THE INDIANS THAT FAILED In 1791, when, the depredations of the Indians in the vicinity of Marietta and the Miami settlements became unbearable, Governor St. Clair determined to send General Harmar against the Indians in the Miami and Maumee districts, to instill the fear of the white man In them, but he first sent Return Jonathan Meigs to the British commander at Detroit to appraise him of the plan, and to assure him that the British posts would not be molested, and to urge him to give no assistance to the Indians.

This done, General Harmar left Cincinnati in September with 1,300 troops. It looked like a formidable, but the troops were poorly trained and disciplined. From the day the movement started there were daily losses by desertion. When the Indian towns were reached they were found abandoned. The British had not only notified of the attack to be made upon them, but had furnished them liberally with muskets.

So when General expedition reached Miami and Maumee Indian towns they found them absolutely deserted; there were not even squaws and -children present: All the houses were burned and food and other supplies stroyed. The march back to Cincinnati began. But after a day, General Harmar halted the main body QI his troops and sent back a detachment under Col, Myllys to see whether any of the Indians returned. They had, In large numbers, Col. Myllys found to his sorrow, and they fel' with such force upon the detachment that an immediate retreat was ordered.

Coming suddenly in full flight before the Indians, upon the camp where General Harmar was waiting with, the remainder of his army. The whole camp was thrown into consternation and in cjisprder a hurried march to Cincinnati began, the Indians pursuing and harrying the rear the entire way.

Van Deventer Stock market gyrations muy be reliable forecasters of coming business conditons, but recent five million share days certainly indicate two things. One Is that some people are willing to bet heavily on America's future prospects and the other Is that there is still plenty of money for the stakes.

A five million share day, under iQOl present price levels, probably means one AUPRIf A hundred million dol- lHrs Qr mQre ot total buying and selling for the day, figuring the average price per FORWARD' share at 20 Not aU MAKvJI course, for marginal accounts iire still' acceptable to brokers, but it Is safe to say that at least half of the hundred millions is In real round dollars and not In I. During a bull market the wagering of 60 millions a day on the forthcoming performance of business and Industry would not have much significance. Then it would 1 merely be a case of following the leader and taking the beaten path During boom times the beaten path Is upward. But not today. No, It Is not "follow the leader buying" which has made the recent five million share days.

Bather, it is the reasoned buying of the keen and courageous who haye heard perhaps, the rustle of prosperity's skirts, a little sooner than the rest of us. Five million share days mean buying by the public The professionals have grown tired of doing each other's washing, Tbey might run up a two million share day without the aid of the "Public," but not a five million share day. And this proves that the consumer has the money to buy with right now, if he wants to use It that way. The public can't bo as hard up as some people make it out to be when it can reach down Into Its trouser pockets and pull out fifty millions spot cash two days hand running last week. And the public cannot be very doubtful about the business outlook when it buys stocks witb money I Copyrijjiit by United Husluess Publishers' Btireaji of KvonotpU'X 'n' Arniy.
