SHOWS ADVANTAGE

Muscle Shoals Has Odds in Favor of Getting the Government Plant, Which Is to
 Be Built

There probably is no more interest ing question. from an educational stand point, before Alabamians today, than the manufacture of nitrate from the air Since discovery that a large amount ot nitrogen composed part of the atmos- pheric composition, scientists have busied themselves to discover practical uses for it.
 One of the greatest uses is to take this nitrogen from the air and make it into explosives. 1t is about this process that so much interest is now centered.
 The question of placing the $20,0O,oo0 government nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals. on the Tennessee river, is one that is calling for all the support of per sons loyal to the south. In the event this plant is located at this place. it will offer excellent opportunities to young men with ambitions along a scientific line. It is time when all the knowledge gained in high school and college, through the study of physics and other science relat- ing to the natural resources of the coun- try may be brought into play with effect by young men.
 That young men are giving this ques- tion thought, and are holding themselves III 1edulneSS to nelp dlOIB huSClt OIIodl9 cause is shown by William l.. White, young chemical engineer, and graduate from Auburn
 Tn the contest for the location of the government nitrate plant, the claims in which Muscle Shoals can rely are very strong" said MT. White land if properly presented, should win. The most promi- nently mentioned sites for the nitrate plant are Muscle Shoals, Keokuk, Nigga ra Falls, Chattahoochee Falls and some of the water falls on the Pacific coast. For obvious reasons the real contest will be between Muscle Shoals and IIeokuk. the former having many outstanding ad- vantages over the latter.
 '"rhe power plant at Niagara Falls IS under private control and practically all the power generated is already under contract. Being so close to Canada, also, involves another great question w,ich would count against Niagara Falls as suitable site for the nitrate plant.
 Matter not whatever advantage the Pacific slope may have to offer in water power it is too near the open seas and Is too distance from the geographical cen ter of the country
 Little data is to be had on the Chat tahoochee Falls and. therefore, it is not rated as a close contestant; in fact, these falls have only been heard of in Atlanta, and what is gIeamed from Sydney La nier's poems
 "The water power possibilities of Mus cle Shoals are practically limitless, and e50, 900 horse power is a conservative esti-

 Whether woman lives in a small town or city, whether she keeps up with the social whirl or only occasionally sallies forth to an evening wedding or some un- usual event, such as the annual Christ mas ball, or a reception to a distinguished stranger, she must have an evening gown To the woman who goes out frequently the price of such a gown seems matter or ordinary expense, .ut to the young girl or woman who ventures into formal society but seldom, the money invested
 in such a frivolous frock seems an extra ordinary extravaganza from which she derives little benefit.
 To spend a reasonable amount of money so as to look as we'll as possible is the best investment any woman can make. Every woman may not be beautiful, 1t is true, but at least every woman can look her best according to her type, and she can appear well groomed. "She is not pretty, but she wears her clothes so we'll is the remark often heard and in these days the smart, plain woman has come into her own, and frequently outshines her pretty sister, who banks too much OF mere prettiness, fails to make point of details, and ignores the fact that a good-looking gown is a social and busi- ness asset which no woman can afford to regard lightly.

Get Together on the Farm

From IeslieS
 The "What-Should- -Be-Done- for New England conference recently held at Springfield, Mass, is evidence that New England intends no longer to be known as region of hill towns with depleted population and abandoned farms. As New England has forged to the front in- dustrially 1t has just as steadily declined agriculturally. Mir. Theodore N Vail, in addressing the conference on Get To- gether." pointed out that the agricultural opportunities which once attracted the would-be farmer from New England no longer have the appeal they once had, that the west can no longer supply New England with oodstuffs-vegetable and animal-at such prices as will make it inn possible for the New England farmer to compete and that therefore New Eng land must and should depend in the future on New England agriculturally for it's supplies.
 Cooperation was suggested by MT. Vail as one means whereby New Eng land may increase the output of her farms. By cooperation the methods of gathering, packing, grading, storing and distributing products may be regulated and improved; small producers will be able to combine their products and com mand attention from the markets as do large producers. Neighbors by co-opera- tion will be able to make expensive ma chimes do the work of many farms, and thus save in original investment in equip ment and the depreciation that usually results through idle machinery. This form of cooperation is particularly valu- able in a section like New England where farms are small and the individual farmer would not feel justified in pur- chasing all the latest machinery.

often noticeable on plucked fowls are due to brusng while alive. Turkeys should be caught in the pen quietly, without undue crowding of the flock one to a picker. A heavy cord looped around the legs suspends it from a nail on horizontal pole midway of the shed. Locked wings prevent the bird beating itself. A sharp, narrow-bladed knife thrust into the roof of the mouth brings the death-dealing hemorrhage, which should be copious. Poorly bled fowls are purplish tinted. At once quill and tail feathers are drawn. Upon cessa- .tion of bleeding. while the body is still warm, experts readily remove the feathers, few at a time with an up- ward jerk Pulling them down towards the head, or in great punches, is apt to tear the flesh. The few pin feathers left by capable pickers are removed by some skillful person with blunt knife. A small ruff of neck feathers and the wing tips are undisturbed The bird is now ready for the final establishment. cleansing of the mouth and beak by mopping, and washing of the feet
 Perfect chilling is necessary but stock should not be allowed to freeze. In packing the stiffened legs snap like pipe stems. If perchance they thaw, tt cir keeping qualities are impaired, not to mention loss in looks.
