The opening Of new Of
profitable endeavor for women Is .
matter Of considerable importance.
and the Maxwell Motor company Of
New York is making an effort to util-
Ire them as saleswomen. In . recent
communication the president Of the
company says: Il believe that there
ID room for women in the automobile
business. Women have proved to be
good saleswomen and demonstrators
In other lines. We believe that they
will be particularly successful with au-
tomobiles. and We r going to take
the trouble to fnd out whether we are
right or wrong"
The company has accordingly put
Mrs. Crystal Eastman Benedict in

NITRATE DEPOSITS OF CHILE
Many Thinss to Which the Users Of
the Supply Should Give Close
Attention.

The worlds supply of nitrate, for
use In the manufacture of fertilizers,
explosives and other chemical prod
ucts, Ia now derived almost entirely
from the deposits of sodium nitrate in
northern Chile. These deposits are
vast, as compared with any probable
future demand and ven the best eff
forts OF a close monopoly supervised
by the Chilean government have not
been able to do more han keep output
and prices under some small degree OF
control. In ordinary times the Chilean
deposits can swamp any possible com
petitive supply, and In the past this
has operated to prevent the develop
ment of small or less well located de-
posits elsewhere.
The Chilean deposits have, however,
one marked defect which is brought
into prominence by the present Euro
pean war; and which would have come
out in still more disastrous form In
case of a war between the United
States and any power having an active
feet in the Pacific ocean. The defect
is that the distribution Of the output
is entirely by sea, and that the steam
ers carrying the nitrate must make q
long run along open coasts. We must,
therefore, consider that nitrate, though
the supply is more than ample, Is like
ly to be entirely cut off under war
conditions.
In defaultrof a supply of Chilean nj
trate, a country would have to fall
back upon either (a) local or other
supplies Of natural potash or soda nj
trates, ~ nitrogen extracted from
the air, or (c) nitrates manufactured
from coal tar products. All of these
are technically feasible, n none are
absolutely p%rohibitive as to cost under
wal conditions, though in normal times
none Of them can at present compete
with the Chilean supply.-Engineering

PURV|S TO HAVE

ANSWER TO QUESTION "WHAT

(By r. L. Bennett.

Purvis, Aug 1.-THE building of
large, modern, sanitary dairy, which
has just been undertaken by Jas.
Hand, a prominent saw mill operator,
planter and land owner of this place,
is a matter regarded locally as OF
great moment, since it furnishes an
other concrete example of what is be-
ing done to develop the agricultural
interest of this section which has re-
lied almost exclusively on the saw
mill business as the leading and main
dependence, industrially, of the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Hand has for years been re-
garded as one of the most practical
and most successful saw mill oper-
ators in the Hattiesburg district and
it has been only in the last few years
that he has found time to attempt the
development of any of the several
thousand acres of cut-over land left
to him as a legacy from the process
of cutting away the pine forest in
these parts. Though this fact has
not prevented him from having in the
past five years developed a thousand

The other avowed candidates are
Congressman Robert L. Henry, who
likely is making cotton an issue in an
other way. He stands on the record
he made in introducing and pressing
his remarkable measure last session,
that looked to having the government
take the cotton crop off the hands OF
the planters at 10 cents the pound and
hold it till it should bring that price.
The plan never had a chance in Con
gress, of course; but it served the
purpose of demonstrating how de-

Henry. The third candidate is S. p.

Bailey University, perhaps the largest
denominational institution in the
South.
All over the South there are Con-

question, and Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia is looked upon as the prophet
of all this dissatisfaction. He has
