THE EVER PRESENT
MUSCLE SHOLS MATTER
About 30.000 Lots Have Been Sold
Within a Radius of 15 Miles.
(By International News Service)
Sheffield, Ala., July s.—Congress
will win the undying gratitude of
high-pressured real estate dealers by
continuing to take its time in decid
ing what disposition to make of the
government’s power plant at Muscle
Shoals'.
Nearly 30,000 sub-division lots have
been sold within a fifteen-mile rad
dlus of the power and nitrate plants
Since the Muscle Shoals controversy
first reached Congress, it is said, and
all the realtors now ask is that Con
gress occasionally renew its discus
sion of the Shoals question, and then
postpone action. ,
When Congress adjourns, the real
estate men say, demand for lots sub
sides. Then, when the Senate and
House begin to buzz anew over the
problem, t’iiere is a more gratifying
public response to sales talk.

SHORTAGE OF WATER

Tribuue Bureau- ,
’ <**r- W’«l*er.'H«toiy
Raleigh. July s.—While the short
age of \vatet f , due to the drought, is
still acute at the State Hospital for
the Insane at Morganton, engineers
are now. on the ground going over the
situation and it is hoped that opera
| tious will soon be set in motion look
ing toward the obtaining of n supply
of water that will be adequate under
• all conditions, Governor McLean re
ports, following his return from a
trip through the western part of the
state, during which he stopped in
Morganton. If efforts now under
way are successful, it is probable that
the State institutions may unite with
the town of Morganton in a project
to obtain the water supply from the
Catawba Hriver. If this is done,
it is felt that the matter of water
supply will be settled for all time.
At present both the State Hospital
and the School for the Deaf obtain
their water from springs and small
streams* on the nearby watershed of
the mountains. This supply, ’how
ever, has been found to be too vari
able, especially in dry weather to be
dependable.
At present, with the School for the
Deaf in its vacation period, its water
-supply is being turned into the mains
of the State hospital. If this were
not done, it is not believed the hos
pital would be able to get along.
The final report of the engineers
working on t’ae situation is expected
this week. In the meantime, every
effort is being made to take care of
the situation, the governor reports.

sentenced to serve thirty days in the
stockade, but escaped from a third

A NEW RAILROAD SIGNAL.
Color Light Signals bn Double-Track
Line of Southern Railway.
Charlotte, X. July s, — Color
light signals, declared by Sqjitborn
Railway engineers to be the last
word in electric automatic block
signal protection, are now in service
on the entire Washington-Atlanta
double-track line, (i 37 miles, repine
.■ ing signals of the three position
; semaphore type.
The color light signal is a reodnt
development, consisting of a aeries jof
three lamps mounted vertically be
hind colored lenses on a mast with
an oblong sheet metal background.
These lamps produce a light which
can be easily distinguished afAreni
2.500 to 3,000 feet in bright sun
light, giving an indication which en
gincinen can recognize even more
easily than the position of the sema
phore-
The color light signal is considered
a distinct advance in signal practice
since the same indications (red for
stop, yellow sot caution, ami green
for proceed) are used both day and
night. As there is no mechanism, the
color light signal is loss subject to
failure than other types. Another ad
vantage is that the lights are placed
directly in the enginemau’s line of
vision.
The Southern was a pioneer in
the introduction of color light
signals, having installed them on the
Atlantu-Birmiiigham line in 1924.
In order to extend them over the
Washington-Atlanta line it was
necessary to replace 821 signals.
The entirb line from Washington to
Birmingham, KtH) miles, is-now equip
ped with this most modern type of
signals, operated by alternating eur
renFjfed from a power transmission
liffipof equal length. This is the long
continuous installation of this
kind in existence.

owners can secure lieense plates for
the 275,000 cars. And if they are not

those who fail to get them must pay
the penalty. R. A. Doughton, Com

ly no extension in. time.
If ppnple luid pnrcnaseq license*
that first 22 days they were on sale
ns they hnve during the past week,
j all’would now have been disposed of,
j for they hnve been going at the rate
| of 10,000 a day this past week. How
ever. if the laggards apply at onee,
it is possib’e that all may be taken
jeare of by the end of this week, since
|it is possible for the Automobile
License Bureau to take enre of the
demand much faster than hereto
fore., due to its large organization
and more adequate equipment.
“For the past week we have had
our entire field force in the various
offices helping to take care of the
public and its demand for licenses.
This will continue throughout this
coming week, “said Commissioner
Doughton- "But beginning Monday
| morning. July 12, all of our regular
inspectors with the Auto Theft
Bureau, together with a large num
ber of deputy inspector will be plac
ed in the field all over the State
with instructions to bring in every
automobile owner who has not yet
secured his new lieense plates. It
must be remembered that all those
who do not secure their license
plates by the evening of July 10 are
subject to arrest and the penalty
provided by law.’’
“However, the Commissioner was
optimistic, saying that most people
just put off such matter until the
last minute more from thoughtless
ness than anything else, and that
they really do not intend to defraud
the State.
Although all other State depart
ments are closed today, the License
Bureau is remaining open all day
here, as are the branch offices, so that
people may celebrate July 4 on July
5 by getting their license plates.
