WOULD MAKE TENNESSEE AS FAMOUS AS THE RHINE Further Development of River Would Make It As Useful as the German River, Say t Army Engineer. ASHEVILLE, X. C. June 22. Combination of interests between agen cirs interested in navigation ainl those seeking further development of water powers could convert the Tennessee river into a stream capable of carrying the tonnage equal to that of I he KiVine, ainl make the river fully as useful conusor cially as the famous (icrmn.i waterway, is the opinion of Harold C. Fiske, dis trict army engineer of Chattanooga, Tenn., expressed in an ueldross before the water power confer.'!. "; of the (Southern Appalachian Slates here. This could be brought about, the army engineer said, by the construction of large impounding basins at the head quarters of the river in the Appalach ians, t6 hold back the surplus water in seasons of heavy rainfall ai'd distribute it over the dry ierioi'.s. The rcquirc Hicnts of river commerce- alone aie in sufficient to warrant the investment of the millions required, he said, but a union of plans with commercial water power development is easily within the range of possibility. Utilizing tho im pounded floods for generation of electric power, Major Fiske said, while con trolling river flow, would justify the ex pense of initial construction and would prevent against floods Major Jr'iskc, communing upon me j uyue, vornew aiicii ana i.. i.ee iison. i peaceful, so keep out of Gaston county,' ' Muscle Shoals development, said when ' shouted Mr. Mangum in his speech. the plan is completed and placed in op- GOVERNMENT DEFEATED i "They did not appeal to you for help cration there will be two impounding HEALTH PROPOSITION ' ,"'t'llll8 tl'oy were poorly paid or uu- lakes with a total lengtr. of 70 miles! ur" n rKurualAlu. justly treated." of smooth water, free ot shoals, suitable j LONDON'.

J BE Veterans, Weary and Happy As Little Children After Hard Day of Play Turn Faces Homeward Thirty-second Annual Reunion Comes to Close With Grand Ball Tonight Old Soldiers, Too Feeble to March, Rode In Parade of Motor Cars Today. RICHMOND, VA., June 22. (By The Associated Press.) Weary and Happy as little children when night mes after a hard day of pJay, the jnen iho fought for the south in the war be ween the Statees, after passing through the streets of theirol d capital in a long and colorful procession, today were. rady to turn their faces homeward. The thirty second annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans here comes officially to a close with a grand ball tonight, but many of the veterans, futigued by a week filled with happy events, art? preparing to, leave the city today. These soldiers, whose youth throbbed on the fields of battle, are now too weighted with years to tramp tho long avenues of the city, so they rode proud ly in a parade in motor vehicles down the streets that once resounded with tho clattering accoutrement of a younger army marching to war; and tears cam to the eyes of many who remembered. Through the long aisles made by throngs of a trilAite-paying people, thej grey fighters slowly passed as though they were conquerors instead of the men who laid down their arms in defeat. Along the way, buildings, large and small, mansion and hut, were coated with the colors that fired the hearts of the southland in '61 and '(55. It was as if the hand of time had moved back and transformed a new and younger Rich mond to the historic city it was more than a half century ago. From the shining horns of fourteen bands flowed the melodies of the old south. "Maryland, My Maryland' "Carry Me Back to Old Virginia," "The Suwanee River," "The OKI Folks at Home," and many others: ami then as if to light the spirits of the parnders, and the throngs that watched them to a white glow, a band, here and there, would flare forth with the be loved battle song "Dixie." Every veteran who came to Richmond was seated in a motor vehicle. It was estimated that 800 cars carried the old soldiers in the procession. The Escort of Honor for tho Veterans were men who fought in '98 and those younger soldiers who crossed the seas to battle with the Germans. Sturdy and straight they marched a foot, and in their faces was the light they had caught from song and story handed down from those heroes who woro the grey of the Confederacy. As the procession was passing out Monument avenue, on which stand the famous statues of Lee, Jackson, Stuuart, and Davis, the motor vehicles in which the veterans rode paused, as if in re spect to the great military leaders. Tho old soldiers gawd tin at the heroia bronze figures of their beloved chieftains who had led them in battle and on their faces were the looks of men unconqiiered in spirit, sentiment and loyalty. Giant against the sky, breasting the storms of the years, these bronze ftgurees repre sent to th soldiers in grey ideals as deathless as hope. Then tho procession moved on, leav ing leehinel the silent forms of bronzft and granite, and the living soldiers had found the end of another reunion Lato today the cornerstone of the Mat-1 thew Fontaine Maury mounment at Monument Avenue and the boulevard will be laid. The grand ball tonight in ' which veterans, sons anil daughters or-1 gnnizations will participate, will con elude the reunion of 1922.
