Business groups are looking at the home owning proposition In a new and more favorable light. Secretary Hoover Btates in the foreword to the little government manual. He says: "They see that taking a neighborly Interest in developing sound financing and other machinery for the use of home seekers, and insisting on the observance of honest, straightforward methods by those who deal with home seekers is not paternalism, but good business and good citizenship. It is the square deal—and it is not only right, but essential, that the cards should not be stacked against the home seekers.” Secretary Hoover state* that the automobile has given a great impulse to suburban life and an Increasing possibility of home ownership. "A family that owns its own home takes pride in It, maintains it better, gets more pleasure out of it, and has a more wholesome, healthful and happy atmosphere In which to bring up children. The home owner has a constructive aim in life. He works harder outside his home; he spends his leisure hours more profitably, and he and his family live a finer life and enjoy more of the comforts and cultivating influences of our modern civilization. A husband and wife who own their home are more apt to save. They have an interest in the advance ment of a social system that permits the Individual to store up the fruits of his labor. As direct taxpayers they take a more active part in local government. Above all, the love of home Is one of the finest instincts and the greatest of inspirations of our people.” Useful Information.

Muscle Shoals Plant Is Sold to Power Company Sale of Part of Property Will Force Ford to Revise Offer—Price Is $3,400,000. By Assorlaterl Press. Washington, Sept. 24.—Henry Ford’s much controverted offer to buy Muscle Shoals was wholly upset to day, when the government sold to the Alabama Power company the Gorgas steam plant—a part of the property— at a price of approximately $3,400,000. This development forces a revised offer from Mr. Ford, If he wishes to bid for the remainder of the project. He previously had informed congresa that unless the Gorgas plant were In cluded in the sale, his bid did not hold. >■ Political observers, who have pro fessed to see some connection between Mr. Ford's offer for Muscle Sholg and the presidential boom which hears the manufacturer’s name, predicted to day that the next development would be reverberations In the coming ses sion of congress, which possibly might develop Into something bearing a re lation to the coming preconvention campaign. Some time ago the War department notified Mr. Ford that the Department of Justice and the Judge advocate general of the army had held valid Its contract with the power company, which required the government to either move the plant, from the pow er company’s land or sell It to the company. Today was the last In which the government could make a decision. The actual price paid was $3,47?. 4S7.25, a sum agreed on In appraisals by tho ordnance division of the War department and experts of the federal power commission. Tho wartime con struction cost $4,750,000. Secretary Weeks found that If the government were to remove the plant It would realize only the Junk value, and that meanwhile, there would be economy loss and injury to industries using frower In Alabama and other southern state*, whereas, a sale to the company meant the government would recover almost the original coat. When Mr. Ford was summoned to Washington some time ago and in formed of the contract with the power company, Secretary Weeks left the way open for a revised bid to ex elude the Gorgas plant, and Mr. Ford was given to understand the War de partment would credit him with the proceeds of the sale, and thus reduce his Initial payment of $.">,000,000 to approximately $1,500,000. Some doubt was expressed at what view congress might take at the proposal to sell the remainder of the Muscle Shoala property for that sum, Inasmuch as the Junk value of the whole project had been estimated by army engineers to be $13,000,000.

By Associated Prrsa. Washington, Sept. 24.—A deep faith In spiritual things, tempered by a hard common sense adapted to the needs of the world Is the kind of practical Idealism that la repre sented !n the history of America, President Coolidge said today In an address before the annual convention of the American Red Cross. The people, he added, are not likely to adopt any other course. The Idealism of which he spoke, the president aald. was Illustrated by the men who went to the fescue of Europe when their own liberty and the liberty of the world was Imperil, but. who, after victory was secured, retired from the field, "unencumbered by spoils, independent, unattached and unbought." President Coolidge's address, his first public utterance, was devoted to praise of the qualities which have made the Red Cross a success. Chl“f among these, he said, was its prac tical Idealism. An Ancient Principle. The American Red Cross Ig a mod ern application of an ancient prin ciple. the president said. "The Idea of charity Is very old. It is Included In the teachings of the earliest phi losophers. It Is one of the fundatnen tal doctrines of our Bible, It Is a spiritual conception of human rela tionship. It is life In obedience to the things thnt are unseen. "Throughout history men have been prone to put their trust In other things and have failed. They sought for power through material resources alone They have thought It might he gained b ythn accumulation of great riches. They have attempted to rely upon the naked force of armies and navies, conquering hv the might of the sword. Tint these force* are not the ultimate rulers of man kind. They are necossary for secur ity. as police and criminal courts, and holts and bar are necessary. They are ndjuncts of peace. But they are negative forces. They do not create, they resist. They are not the ulti mate force In the world. They do not make the final determination among men. Over them all is a high er power. 4'anno( Discard Forces.
