calcium carbide Is the important fac
tor in the f1xation of atmospheric nitro
gen, and is the source of supply upon
which we must rely for nitric acid and
nitrates employed in making NUM-
lions Of war and fertilizers.
All the artificial graphite used In
the world today is produced at Niagara
Falls, by cheap water power. Its uses
are manifold. Practically the sole
American supply of abrasives is also
from Niagara.
Considering the products of electro
chemistry, chlorine stands 6dt as of
first importance The sterilization of
water supplies of countless cities has
been made possible by the use of
bleaching powder" or hypochlorite,
and in communities where this agent
is used typhoid has lost its terrors.
The American army and the armies of
Europe use chlorine to avert typhoid
and other chlorine products, including
chloroform, are used surgically, both
as anesthetics and antiseptics. This
same chlorine, or bleach, makes posi-
BILE the manufacture of white cotton
goods and white writing paper. Other
products of chlorine, produced electri-
cally, enter into the manufacture Of
soaps. Even into fire extinguishers
goes this sole product of cheap electric
ity.
To meet the shortage In coal-tar dyes,
by the combination of chlorine with
coal-tar benzon and tuluol, we are now
beginning to produce in quantities
those necessary Intermediates" for
merly made in Germany.
Metallic sodium, also a product of
electricity, is the basis for sodium
peroxide. which is utilized in general
ing oxygen for hospitals, for labora-
tories and for submarines and mine
rescue apparatus 1t also enters into
the manufacture of hydrogen peroxide.
Without sodium cyanide many gold
and silver mines could not operate at a
| profit.
| New types OF matches have made
! their appearance on the American
market since the outbreak Of war In
Europe These new brands are "made
in America" and largely because we
were cut off from our Norwegian sup
ply. The phosphorus is produced only
| in electric plants.
These are but a few Of the products
Of everyday use that are largely de
pendent upon water power; many OF
these products few years ago had NO
known value. What other products re-
main to be developed with the growth
Of hydro-electricity no man can pre-
dict. But there is limit on produc-
ton of all these products today. That
limit can only be passed when Con-
gress paves the way for further hydro
electric development by enacting laws
which will make it possible and profit
able for capital to invest In these va
rious enterprises at places where to-
day no development is taking place.

Fire Boys Are
Hard at Work
For The Prize

The pastime at. the fire department
these days is collecting cigarette cou-
pons and ages-empty, of course,
in the race of Howell Smith for the IN
dian motorcycle. Fires are so scarce
in these parts, and the monotony of
life is varied by their work in the in
terest of the red cycle. They insist it
will be an acquisition to the fire fight

bathers in question suffered who
should have entered in a severe COM
plant against the rough and unjust
treatment of the said guard? In
stead, they were hailed and mortified
before the whole guard force and the.
Canadian was beaten up for daring
to say a word. He was helpless.
Next, the matter came up in one Of
the police courts (the Sheffield ave-
nue. police statiOn). From the very
beginning magistrate and all Of the
DULLES paid no attention to the eX-
plantations or remOnStranCe Of the
defense. On the contrary, the magis-
trate on learning that one Of the
defense was a British citizen, a Ca
madam, CURLY and Immediately SEN
fenced him to fine and court costs
without more ado and offered the
ignorant remark gratis, to the effect
that a nOn-American subject can exh
pect no favors or protection from
US!
That remark or attitude has fired
my sense of justice! l, for one, as
an American citizen, resent the false
impression that that statement Gre
ates Of.our justice and hospitality to
citizens or strangers alike! Possibly
in the future we must carry our Citi-
zenship papers with US before we
don our bathing suits lest when we
are drowning questions might be
asked. And in a misunderstanding
plain justice would be denied!
Because of the great demand on
short notice for public servants, it
does not follow that we must hire in
discriminatory efficient and ineffi-
cient, good and bad rough specimens
of applicants. Either civil service or
other proper method to insure strict
efficiency should put the applicant to
the test. 1t seems too evident that
some get in on political graft or pull,

BEACH GUARDS.-Possibly the
anxiety to make a SNOWY record Of
their usefulness, even at the cost Of
roughly forcing row" on innocent
batheTs at our public bathing beach
es, has brought out very sharply the
realization that among the beach
guards who are paid by the govern
ment for efficient protection and sur
veillance to all batheTs there are
those who ought to be locked up or
discharged as nuisances and break
ers of the peace. Some of them are
absolutely nothing else but West
Side toughs," as the following ex-
perienCe tOTcibly illustrates:
A Canadian friend who recently
came to Chicago to pursue his pro-
fessiOn claims there seems to be abb
GOlutely no justice accorded a strang
er here. Several days ago he with
friends went to enjoy a good swim at
one of our public beaches, Diversey,
which as usual was crowded.
One of the guards patrolling in his
boat was incautiOusly and recklessly
rowing through the congestion, as
several witnesses attested to the fact.
To prevent the boat from fairly
knocking him under, this Canadian
thrust out his hand and warded off
the collision; thereupon the guard,
instead of being soicitOus of the well
fare of the bather and accepting any
explanations which followed, started
in to swear and abuse the Canadian
and ordered him and a witness re-
mOnstrating to the guard immediate

As to his experience with foreign
born citizens. Mr.. Taylor was appoint
ed on . committee to investigate the
strike Of the copper miners In the up

chairman of the committee and the
work gave him ample opportunity to
study the ways of foreign-born citi-
Gems, as large majority Of the miners
involved In the strike came from Eur

Among the things that stand out

his many efforts to alleviate condi-
