Ford Is Granted Right to Develop Power Project > —— # federal Commission Approves Plan to Improve High Dam Between Minneapolis and St. Paul. Washington, March 2.—The Ford Motor company was granted a pre liminary permit by the federal power commission to develop pof^r at the High dam, erected across the Missis sippi river between St. Paul and Min neapolis by the government as an aid to navigation For several months Henry Ford met | with stiff opposition to his project, which contemplates the organization of a large manufacturing plant at St. Paul, but at a three hour meeting of the commission today his Competitors had dwindled to one, the Northern States Power company. Both St. Paul and Minneapolis, which had desired to develop power for municipal utilities, abdicated in favor of 'the Ford com pany. Under terms of the grant, the Ford company is given four months in which to complete plans for disposal of surplus power. The company will be required to pay a reasonable price, fixed in agreement with the commission, to tho govern ment. grant of the preliminary permit was interpreted by Ford representa tives as being equivalent to a perma nent lease. During the coining four months, however, it is understood, the city of Minneapolis will take steps to amend its city charter to allow the munici pality to develop and then will again - -*- --- petition the commissiion for permis sion to do so. In expressing approval of the Ford plan, representatives of the Twin Cities claimed the rights to use any surplus power developed by the Ford company. The Ford company, the commission was told, will erect a plant on a 167* acre tract, already purchased, for the I Vaudeville—Photoplays [ All New Bill. With fFCII CUNNINGHAM .

The average citizen may not be able to judge of a University's standing educa tionally, but he can easily grasp the idea that an institution which helps to ma terially swell the local bank clearings is worth while. Perhapi he does not often reflect upon this phase of the matter, but once it is brought to his attention he will not soon forget it. Helps Omaha’s Large Bank Clearings Creighton University’s combined enrollment during 1920-21, includ ing the Summer School, was 1,950 students, whose aggregate annual expenditure in Omaha for board'and lodging, clothes, laundry, amusements, books and stationery, incidentals and railroad fare is approximately one million dollars. As the bulk of this money goes through the Omaha banks this accounts, in part, for the fact that Omaha ranks higher in bank clearings than cities of twice its size. 0 Students Spend Vast Sums It may be interesting to consider in detail, what Creighton’s contribu tion to Omaha’s financial welfare means. The single item of shoes amounts to $20,000 per year; clothing, $1 00,000; confections and tobacco, $20,000; laundry, $80,000; hats, caps and haberdashery, $20,000; baggage transfer, $3,000; books, stationery, instruments and apparatus, $80,000; drugs, jewelry, sporting goods, engraving, printing, catering, taxicabs, etc., $50,000; board and lodging, $400,000; amusements and incidentals, $50,000; railroad fare. $50,000; street car fare, $25,000. More Than a Million Spent Annually • / When to these amounts is added the income from endowment, the tuition of the four professional colleges, laboratory fees and all in cidental fees, amounting to $309,381.71, all of which is immediately disbursed in Omaha to the faculty and to Omaha Merchants for equipment and supplies, the total will aggregate a great deal more than a million dollars annually, not includ ing the large expenditure made every year by the University for the construction of new buildings and the purchase of ad ditional equipment, which, since 1910, has amounted to $800,000. • Friends and Graduates Swell Total How much, in addition to these various amounts, is spent each year in Omaha by friends and relatives of the students cannot be accurately estimated, but the total will doubtless run between $30,000 and $50,000. And it should not be forgotten that the University's graduates, who now number about 3,300, are, in large part, located within a radius of three hundred miles of Omaha. Naturally they spend considerable sums of money here for supplies and equipment, to say nothing of the business which they bring to the city along pro fessional as well as distinctly commercial lines. 1,000 New Students By 1925 With the expansion plans completed, Creighton will be in a position to take care of at least 1,000 new students. Think what this will mean to the business men of Omaha. Every man, woman and child in Omaha is either directly or indirectly benefited by the large annual expenditures of Creighton University and its body of students. » Think These Things Over Carefully When deciding how much you are going to give WARD M.

Invitation to exposs high school vice conditions before a general meet ing of the board of education Monday night was at'-eptod Thursday night by Frank Williams, sergeant in charge of the police morals squad. He wa* formally aal.ed to attend the meeting by Ur. Jennie Callfas, a mem ber. who declares she intends to try ; to force the matter of an Investiga tion before the hoard as an issue. 1 Itr ( -illfas said Sergeant Williams toM her vice conditions in some of the high schools were generally what had been reported recently in newspapers. Attack on high school vice was I promised yesterday* from a new angle. Rev Edgar Merrill Brown of Diet* Memorial M. E church. Tenth and | Worthington street*, will preach a ■sermon on the EUbjeot Sunday night. "I Just, had a two hour talk with Sergeant Williams." he said, "after a w-eeg of investigating personally. T visited the lugh school and the |‘bootleg' districts and personally saw young girls—they looked to be hign school girls—visiting 'blind pigs.'

Bill Would Legalize Ligaret Sales in Utah Salt Lake City, March 2,—A meas ure designed to permit the sale of , cigarets in Utah, under strict regula '■ tion, and providing heavy penalties ] for unauthorized sale or for sale to i minor*, was introduced in the Utah I senate yesterday by the senate i committee on public affairs. The new bill is a compromise measure and in some respects is more sweeping than th# SoutbW:ck law. which it seeks to amend Whereas advertising of cig arets is now prohibited, the commit- " tee measure aims to preterit the ad iwrtising of tobacco in any form. The bill would make it possible to sell cigarets legally In Utah only on payment of heavy license and stamp taxes These features of the law are based on a plan no win effect in Iowa, Tho smoking of tobacco in restaur ants, barber shops and siiiar place* i is still prohibited, except that in the taring places separate compartment: may be partitioned off and designat ed for the use of smoker*.
